Religious Belief.

l envy no quality of the mind or in.
telect in Others; be it geniu', power,
wit or fancy; but if could choose
what would be most delightful, and l
believe most useful to ne, | should
prefer firm religious belief to any
other blessing; for it makes life disci-
pline of goodness; creates new hopes,
when all earthly hopes vanish; and
throws over the decay, the de, truction
of existence, the most gorgeous of all
lights; awakens life even in death, and
from destruction and decay calls up
beauty and divinity; makes an instru-
ment of torture and shame the ladder
of ascent to paradise; and, far above
all combinations of earthly hopes, calls
up the most delightful visions of palms
and amaranths, the gardens of the
blest, the security of everlasting joys,
where the sensualist and the skeptc
view only gloom, decay, aunihilation g,
and despsir,-Sir Hunephrey Davy.

Anecdote of the Car Nicholas.

Gar Nicholas used to walk the streets o.
St. Petersburg alone wrapped in large
gray cloak. 1t was forbidden to speak to
him, but the car sometimes forgot that a
subject could not obey the prohibition if
the emperor addressed him.
Once the car met in park the tenor
singer of the Italian opera and exchanged
q few words with him. The moment t.c
car was out of sight the police ARE ded
the tenor. That evening the czar attended
the opera, " i:ere, after a long delay, the
manager anntunced that the tenor could
not be founG. Nicholas guessed what had
happened AID sent an -decamp to re
lease the singer,
A few days after the car again met the
tenor and began with an apology:
Il was vely sorry"-
MAY l in plore your majesty" the
Italian exclaimed, net to speak to me

Reef Eating in Japan.

A japanese contributor in The Popular
Science Monthly says: when l was
young boy, the custom of eating beef be-
gan to spread. As blood was regarded as
unclcan, and also as Japan had been
strong agricultural country, there was
deep rooted Discrimination to eat beef III
this, of course, one has also to recognize
the influence of the vegetarian principle of
Buddhism, but to anybody who had ever
tasted beef it was so delicious that he could
hardly control his natural appetite by his
religious scruple, My father was one Of
those who knew its TASTE and so now and
then we used to treat ourselves to beef.
But where did we eat it? We did not eat
it inside of the house. We cooked it and
ate it in the open air, and in cooking and
in eating we did not use the ordinary ntcn
sils, but used the special ones kept for the
purpose. Why all these thingsS Because
beef was unclcan, and we did not like to
spread its unceanliness into our house
wherein the gods shelf is kept, and into
our ordinary utensils WHICH might be
used in making offerings to the gods. The
day whom we ate beef my father did not
offer lights to the gods nor say evening
prayers to them, as he did usually, for he
knew he was unclean and could not ap-
proaoh the gods"

Remedy for HOpelessness.

Do you ask me how | shall write TO
my hopeless friend? | shall tell her l
am so glad that God is not hopeless.
He has great many hopeless children
on his hands, but he is not discour-
aged though they are! 1t is said of him,
" He shall not fail nor be discouraged
till he hath set judgment in the earth. J"
Oh, when | think of Gods poor chill
dren, sick children, insane children
then | remember that Jesus came to
tell us of the heart of God! You have
seen the picture OF the poor broken
lamb in the arms of the good Shepherd.
His love and his long-suffering never
end. He can wait. But you know in
all three parallels, the lost sheep, the
lost piece of silver, the prodigal, they
all sought till they found. There are
many lost sheep, but there is no lost
Saviorl So | have hope when l see him
as he is for my hopeless friend. / shall
see her when all the shadows have
passed away. Oh, yes, there is hope
in God and in what God isl l have
lived long enough TO see mercy in much
that terrified me. And as soon IA you
come TO see that, you are in everlasting
arms, surrounded by everlasting love,
you have then an Interchangeable Friend
Your inner life will begin to grow, and
though it may not be summer in your
life it will be on the way to it. So you
see you have only to believe in God,
and all this blessed peace and joy will
come 10 you. But it al ways will be joy
in believing, and always the absence of
joy in doubling. If we would only
show as much common sense in our
life that i not TO eud as we show in the
life that must end, we would be much
happier. We know enough to cultivate
what we desire to have in profusion iu
things earth y; but do we cultivate
faith, and hope and lovep Do we make
believing in God business? Who will
begin business? - Mrs. Bottome, IN

Origin of Articles in Common Use,

1t is pleasant to search out the origin
of things which are in such common
use that we hardly realize that there
was beginning to them. Most of the
products of the useful arts were discov-
cred accidentally, but industry and per-
severance have brought them to their
present perfection. Pliny informs US
that the art of making glass was dis
covered in the following manner:
"Some merchants carrying nitre, stop
ped near river issuing from Mount
Carmel. Not readily finding stones to
rest their kettles on, they employed
some pieces of nitre for that purpose.
The fire kindled under the kettles grad
ually dissolved the nitre, which mixed
with the sand, and they observed a
transparent matter flow from it, which
in fact was no other than glass"

The Conductors Keen Sense.

Stovall, who was sitting just behind me,

minute and replied: we are about 10

A Vermont Sheep-Dog.

Here is true story of Vermont
sheep dog, which Scotchmen will find
hard to match. Captain c. of Brad
ford, VT, had shepherd dog" which
was accustomed 10 bring home the
COWS at night, always separating them
fir )m the other cattle, and never allow
ing any but mich cows to come up.
One day Captain c. accompanied
the dog in driving the cows to pasture.
At one place on the road, the captain
was surprised to see the dog desert the
herd, and take to the woods by the side
of the road. The captain went on with
the cattle, which were walking briskly
in advance. Within a quarter of a
mile they came to break in the fence,
of which the captain had no knowl-
edge, leading into a field; and here, in
the gap of the fence, sat the dog in a
matter-of-fact way, guarding it against
the entrance Of the cattle. What else
could his master suppose than that the
dog was aware of the gap in the fence,
and, knowing that the man would bring
up the cattle, made a detour through
the woods to the place to prevent the
cattle from going into the field,-The
Household.

A Historical Curiosity.

The biggest tobacco box in the world,
or what is fondly believed to be such, is
carefully guarded by the overseers of the
united parishes of st. Margaret and ST.

1t is a remarkable historical curiosity. 1t
is really not a single box, but an agglom-

like Chinese puzzle or an onion which
has been growing for the last 1S1 years
The original tobacco box, tho core, was
Che property of old Henry Monck, who de-
cidcd to perpetuate his memory In this
| peculiar way.
Tradition hath 1t that he purchased the
horn tobacco box at Horn fair Plumstead,
for the small sum of fourpence and present
ed the box to "a society formed of tho past
and present members of the parish. The
original box is only ~ inches long by 394
inches wide, l = inches outside by three
quarters of an inch inside depth, and it
weighs 1917 ounces The members were so
delighted with the old fellows gift they
ornamented it with a silver rim on which
his name was engraved. 1t was religious
ly committed to the custody of the senior
ovorsoer for the time being who handed
it to his successor with some additional
silver ornament
So year after year the box has grown
bigger and bigger The gentlemen who
followed Monck in the office of overseer
thought fit at the end of their terms of
service to chronicle on the box events of
importance which had occurred during
their terms of office. A similar act has
been carried on year after year, and the
original 4 penny tobacco box now rests
within no fewer than six massive cases,
the last one and pedestal being octagonal
in shape and constructed out of an oak
beam taken from Westminster abbey. 1t
is surmounted by beautiful chased silver
statuette of the queen, which cost ESQ

DO Fish Sleep ?

asked the above question when in con
versation with noted authority on tho
pisoatorial science, and his reply was; Il
am not exactly prepared to answer that
question to the point, but am of the
opinion that they, as well as all other
organized beings, go through periods Of
coma, very brief in some cases, which is
analogous to the slumber OF higher ami
mails. Fish consume but little oxygen,
and their waste of tissue is very small.
Hence they have been known to do with
out either food or sleep for surprising
length of time. Some of my colaborers
IN this branch of science are of the opin-
ion that their periods of coma are the same
as sleep only in generic sense-they sim

Screws Small as Dust,

An article in the ANALYST contains
most interesting description of some of
the wonders of watch making. The
smallest screws in the world are made
in watch factory. There can be no
doubling that assertion on any score.
They are cut from steel wire by ma
chine, but, as the chips fall down from
the knife, it looks as if the operation
was simply cutting up the wire for fun.
One thing is certain, no screws can be
seen, and yet screw is made every
operation. The fourth jewel wheel
screw is the next thing to being invis-
ible, and to the naked eye it looks like
dust. With glass, however, it is seen
to be small screw, with 260 threads to
the inch, and with a very fine glass the
threads may be seen very clearly.
These little screws are four one
thousandths of an inch in diameter, and
the heads are double in size. 1t is es-
timated that an ordinary lady's thin
BILE would hold 100000 of these tiny
little screws. About 100000 of them
are made month, but no attempt is
ever made to count them. In deter
mining the number, one hundred of
them are placed on very delicate bal
ance, and the number of the whole
amount is determined by the weight of
this. All of the small parts of the
watch are counted in this way, prob
ably fifty out of the one hundred and
twenty. After being cut, the screws
are hardened aud put in frames, about
one hundred to the frame, heads up.
This is done very rapidly, but entirely
by sense of touch instead of sight, so
that blind man could do just as well
as the owner of the sharpest eyes.-Ths
