they arc only waiting for our coming,
and that we shall join thom ON the 9th

Sacred Song.
remark again, we can in this world
get no idea Of tho song Of heaven, You
know there is nothing more inspiriting
than music, In the battle of Waterloo
the highlanders We're giving way, and
Wellington found out that the bands of
music had ceased playing, He sent
quick dispatch, telling them to play,
with utmost spirit, a battle march The
music started, the highlanders We're
rallied, and they dashed ON till the day
was Won We appreciate the power of
secular music, but do we appreciate tho
power of sacred song? There is nothing
more inspiring to me than whole con-
gregation lifted up ON the wave of holy
melody, When we sing some of those
dear old psalms and tunes, they rouse
all the memories of the past. Why,
some of them were cradle songs in our
fathers house. They are all sparkling
with the morning dew of a thousand
Christian Sabbaths
They We're sung by brothers and sis,
to,, mona ,,o1u hv x-pipae that xyprp mood
and broken i'll the music, voices none
the less sweet because they did tremble
and break. When / hear these old songs
sung it seems as if all the old country
meeting homes joined in the chorus, and
Scotch kirk and sailors Bethel and
western cabins, until the whole CONT
nent lifts the doxology and the scepters
of eternity beat time to the music.
Away then with your starveling tunes
that chill the devptions of the sanctuary
and make the people sit silent when
/ Jesus. is coming to hosanna.
But, my friends, if music on earth is
so sweet, what will it be in heaven?
/ They all know the tune there, Me-
! thinks the tune of heaven will be made
/ up partly from the songs of earth, the
| best parts Of all our hymns and tunes
! going to add to the song of Moses and
the Lamb. All the best singers of all the
ages will join it--choirs of white robed
children Choirs of patriarchs Choirs of
apostles! Morning stars clapping their
/ eymbals! Harpers with their harps
Great anthems Of God roll on, roll on
Other empires joining the harmony till
the thrones are full of it and the ma
lions all saved. Anthem shall touch an
them, chorus join chorus, and all the
sweet sounds Of earth and heaven be
poured into the ear of Christ. David OF
the harp will be there. Gabriel of the
trumpet will be there, Germany re
deemed will pour its deep bass voice in
to the song, and Africa will add to the
music with her matchless voices,
wish we could anticipate that song.
I wish in the closing hymns Of the
churches today we might catch an echo
that slips from the gates. Who knows
but that when the heavenly door opens
today to let some soul through there
may come forth the strain of the jubilant
voices until we catch it? Oh, that as the
song drops down from heaven it might
meet half way a song coming up from
earth

The commissioners appointed by the
local government to inquire into the
"history, causes and effect" of the coal
mine fires of Pictou county have just
finished taking evidence. The commits
sion is composed of Inspector Gilpin,
Deputy Inspector W. Madden, Henry
Mitchell and A. Dick, The work of
the commission was directed mainly to
an investigation of the condition of the
Foord pit This mine has been on fire
in one place or another since the fjfties,
and it is burning yet. Explosion after
explosion has occurred, and many lives
have been lost When fire broke out
in one place, the miners resorted to an
other, sinking new shaft. To avoid
the fire on an upper level, a shaft was
sunk and coal taken out on the level
Immediately below the fire. Soon the
fire came through, and again the miners
were driven out. Nothing that the
owners could do availed to drive out
the fire, and the splendid mine has been
practically abandoned, though little
coal is now being taken out ON leve,
below part that is ON fire. The OBJ
ject of the commission is to Learn
whether something cannot be done tt
save so valuable aproperty as the Foorc

what Sir Walter Scott Thought Hot

We complain of our IN weather, and
yet we can scarcely realize what it must
be to foreigners, as the British, who
have never known the thermometer to
mount above what to us is an autumn
like temperature. We consider England
raw and cold, and still the Scotch talk
as Scott did Of the Anglican youths
better manners, as "ripened by the sun
of the south" Sir Walter made some
entries in his journal which seem very
odd to us, with 80 degrees of heat by
no means rare thing in our experience.
He dolefully indited that he was obliged
to walk in the shade of the houses, be-
cause it was 6S in even that shade one
day, and began another entry: Hot !

PLATINUM In ALASKA.


the Deposits on the Yukon River.
Alaska has developed an unexpected
store Of precious minerals in the last
few years, and just at present miners
are specializing as to the quantity OF
platinum that might be found in that
territory and worked with profit. For
years it has been known that platinum
exists in Alaska, and traces of it have
been found on the banks Of the Yukon
river, but it is only of recent date that
the miners have given the matter any
serious thought. This neglect seems
strange when one considers that plati-
nun is worth from ST. to $3.50 an
ounce.
Platinum is nearly always found in
bars associated with free gold in placer
deposits Platinum ore, as it is some-
times enormously called contains irid-
ium, rhodium, gold, copper and iron. 1t
is usually found in rounded or tiattened
grains having metallic luster, though
it comes occasionally in cubes and oc-
| tahedrons. Had the miners who have
been working on the different creeks in
the Yukon basin for the last two ye!rs
| known the value Of the little glo. n "
masses of platinum they would not h 'sr

"The compliments appeared to please
him greatly, for he smiled as he heard

sented Governor Crittenden with Jesse
James favorite pistol, which he had just
laid aside when Bob Ford shot him in

the weapon and carries it with him in
