Lions and Bicycle,

Itwas an odd and startling adven.
ture that befell the Rev. r. p. Ashe,
a missionary in Africa, while tour.
ing on a bicycle.
He had got far. in advance of his
porters, and was spinning along at
pretty good speed, with his eye on
the path, when suddenly he heard
a noise as of animals galloping be.
side him. True enough, on glancing
TO the right he discovered three
magnificent lions keeping him co m.
pany. ,t...
They were 30 or 80 yards to one
side, and kept along with him for
perhaps 100 yards. Then they stop.

wonderfui Crater Lake.

After emerging from the forest we
found ourselves suddenly on the
margin of the lake, and of this all
description must fail utterly. The
object itself must be seen to be en-
joyed. Words cannot convey the
wonderful and sublime scenery of
the place and its surroundings.
The altitude of the lake above the
level of the sea is 5000 feet. The
crater is about seven miles long by
five wide. The waters of the lake
are below the rim 1000 feet, with
sheer pitch of the banks down to
it, making the water of the lake
about 6, 900 feet above sea level. A
little to the left and rising to n
height of !, 1000 feet is an island GOV.
cred with timber. 1t is supposed to
be the cone of the crater. The island
is about three miles from the near
shore. There are some rocks jutting
out from the rim, which form q
ledge or shelf for a short distance,
which makes a very good point of
observation. There is solitary trail
zigzagging down the side of the era
ter; but, although two of our party
undertook the descent, it is a very
dangerous trip from the risk of the
numerous powders, being loosened
from time to time and weighing
tons, falling upon the person of the
explorer and which would crush him
into shapeless mass. Those who
were foolhardy enough to make the
descent on returning said they would
hardly attempt it a second time.
The water of the lake is the bluest
of blue, but without living thing
in it. AS far as we could learn, it
has no outlet or inlet, and the rise
and fall of the water from the melt
ing of the snow and evaporation is
about five or six inches Portland

When the jews Had Three Eyes.

The Jews of eastern Palestine and
Asia Minor have queer tradition
which has survived from ancient
times and tells of remote period
in their history when every fully
developed Israelite was equipped
with three perfect eyes. The two
main optics were situated in the
front part of the head, just as Jew
ish and other eyes are today, but
the third-the one that made the
early patriarch monstrosity-was
located in the back part of his head,
just above the nape of the neck in
the edge of the hair. This wonderful
third eye in man was not "evolut-
ed" out of existence, as useless or
gans generally are according to the
ideas of the progressive soientistsI,
but was closed by divine injunction
on the day when Moses was given
the tables of stone on Sinai.
You remember that Gods COM
mand on the day that the tables
were renewed was to the effect that
no man should be seen in the vicin-
ity of the holy mount See Exodus
xxxiv. 3. The believers in the three
eye tradition say that Moses supple
mented Gods command by order
ing the faithful who were encamped
in the valley to turn their heads
from the mountain. This they did,
but took good care to uncover the
eye, that was situated in the back
of the head, Moses, noticing this
show of duplicity on the part of his
followers, asked God to close the
third or rear eye, and since that day
the Israelites, in common with the
remainder of humanity, have been
forced to depend on two eyes only.

He had thought of suicide before,
but he was young and olung to life,
bad as it was, living more on hope
than substance.
The only other alternative was
starvation, and this he considered
worse still. He could not have la.

to do, for having been born in the
purple he had always counted pow.
erty out of his life, so had learned
no trade. He dropped into his chair
again and picked up the manuscript
of his novel. How beautifully smooth
it read. What grand plot it was,
and what a character was the poor,
struggling, ambition loving journal

he could but finish it! No more
starvation, no more lying to widow
landladies, no more dreaming of the
woman he loved, but would not
marry.
While he sat thinking of what
might be there came a knock at the
door so timid that he did not notice
it until it was repeated thrice.

However, it was not the portly
form of the widow that met Bran

but a sweet little vision of a girl en-

came into the room, the smile on
