RIhle Lesson.

(The heavens declare the glory Of
God, and the armament showeth His
handiwork.-Psalm xix, ~
Yes, the armament above is the
great album Of the Creator, the suns
are the syllables, and the stars the let
ters which record Gods handiwork.
Let us go out tonight and read few
paragraphs in this album Of the heav-
ems. We will see the same stars, the
same sky record, which the generations
before the flood gazed on and tried to
read. The men who saw the evenings
of nearly 1000 years looked up at these
same golden eyes that now look down
on us. The splendid Orion Of which
Job speaks has not lost a single jewel
from his belt. nor has his bands been
'loosed" by the long years of his ris-
ing and setting. The seven stars-the
little Pleiades also mentioned in the
Bible--were there when the first man
spent his first evening on our earth.
You can all locate the big Dlpper in the
constellation Ursa Major, with its four
stars forming the bowl of the Dipper,
and the three others forming the curved
handle. You can see it these evenings
about o'clock, in the northwestern
part Of the sky. Something else which
you may not know will help you find
it, which is: the upper right hand star
in the bowl of the Dipper always points
to the North Star. Now when you have
found the Dipper, if you will look a lit
tie south and west Of the last star in
the handle farthest from the bowl you
will see bright star, one of the pref
test twinklers in the sky. This star is
Arcturus (also mentioned by Job; see
chapter tx, 81 and is in the constella-
ton Bootes Next week | will tell you
where to find another or two. l want
you to begin to look up into the blue
star spangled sky above you; to make
these star fields part of your home
You may drift far away from your
childhood's home and you can take
none Of the familiar home scenes on
the earth with you. The old home
stead, the trees beneath which you
played, tho mountains, the hills, and
the brook, all of which were your com
panions, you must leave behind, but If
you will study the stars, learn to call
them by name, and associate them
with all the other objects to which your
home affections cling, then you may
carry your home with you the world
over Then Orion, Arcturus, syria, the
Dolphin, the celestial companions OF
Job, Noah and David will be yours in
every place, and in every condition,
and when lonely or homesick you can
always look up and see there you ac-
quaintances and neighbors at the old
home. And as you study these wonder
tul works Of God, you cannot but feel
the truth Of our text: "The heavens
declare the glory Of God and the firma-
ment showeth his handwork."

A Womas Is Seized and Killed, but n
Lucky Shot Receivers Her Body.

a WOmhb ~ belheu anu hllledl but
Lucky Shot Receivers Her Body.
From the Blackburn Times,
A correspondent at Madras gives a
graphic account Of an adventure with a
crocodile. He says; AS we were pro-
ceeding in our cutter up the Jumbo
Canal (0rissa) on the 17th ult. we re.
Ceived the news Of a woman having
been taken by a mugger and on coming
to the spot we tied up and waited, in
the hope that the reptile would come to
the surface with its prey in order to
make meal, as they are unable to
feed under water Presently there was
subdued cry of 'Mugger hol, Sahibw
from one Of the boatmen, and the man
added that 1t had the womans body in
its mouth, We saw part Of It's head
and back above the water and also the
arm of its victim protruding as 1t swan
along, evidently looking for place to
land. Our excitement was intense as
we carefully followed its course and
hoped for chance Of a shot, The croc-
odile made for the opposite bank, but
instead Of going ashore 1t lay on the
long grasses and reeds In about four
feet OF water, with the body in front Of
1t. After waiting for some time to see
II the reptile would land and as 1t
seemed to have no intention Of doing 30,
H determined to try and get shot
at 1t, He crossed the canal some dis
lance down in small boat and crept
stealthily along under cover of the ca
nal bund as near as he dare without
disturbing the mugger as their sense
Of hearing is very keen. Peering over
the top Of the bund he could see its
eyes and the frontal bone above water,
and at this he fired. There was a tre-
mendous commotion, and the crocodile
relinquished its prey and sank, coming
to the surface again almost Immediate
ly. 1t was difficult to say whether the
monster had been hit, although the
Commotion and the fact Of its having
come up again at once for air, led one
to think that 1t had. Unfortunately 1t
rose between H and tho cutter, so
that 1t was impossible. to fire again.
The men then proceeded to search for
The body Of the woman and succeeded
In landing It, The corpse was that of
woman about thirty years Of age. She
had not been long dead, for the blood
was ooznig from wound in her tenn
Piles and the limbs were still limp. The
mugger had evidently dragged her away
by the arm, for that limb was fearfully
shattered and all but torn off. Other
wise the body was untouched. The face
bore terribly agonized expression, the
teeth clenched and the features set in
look Of absolute horror. Unlucklly we
were pressed for time, and could not
wait to see the result of the shot or get
chance Of following 1t up with any
more.

Through AnImaIs.

A correspondent writes to say that
many fires originate through animals.
Mice and rats ignite matches while
gnawing them; and one fire was caused
by jac&daw pecking at box of
matches, and so ignited the contents.
Cats have caused fires by upsetting
lights, scattering red-hot cinders, and
in other ways; fires have occurred from
carelessness in bug-hunting; by fish
gloves full of water, the suns rays
have been concentrated sufficiently to
ignite furniture; and birds nests have
caught sparks from neighboring ma
chinery, and have thus been fred.

jolly letters"
And, unfolding this one, he read me
scraps Of Upright nothings, with here
and there little sentence full Of sister
ly love and tenderness. There was a
steady light in his eyes, as, half apollo

and said quietly:

And as looked at him felt strongly

like yours dear girls, and perhaps no
stronger or better; but 1t made me won

over those boys growing so fast toward

sister may choose.
There Is but one way, dear girls.
begin at once while they are still boys
of the home circle, ready to come to
Sister with anything. Let them feel
that you love them. These great,
honest boy hearts are both tender and
loyal, and If you stand by these lads
now while they are neither boys nor
men, while they are awkward and heed
less, they will remember 1t when they
become the courteous, polished gentle
men you desire to see them. Do not
snub them; nothing hurts loving boys
soul more than snub, and nothing
more effectually closes the boy heart
than thoughtless ridlcule.

The eggs Of various fishes differ re-
markedly in external appearance.
Some would scarcely be held to
be eggs at all. Take, for in-
stance the sixties egg. 1t looks like a
flattened leather bag or purse, with
four horns or handles ut the corners.
The yoke is the size of a walnut, larger
or smaller according to the species.
The yolls of the egg of the dogl6sh-
which is about the size of q pigeons
egg, is used in parts of Sweden as a
substitute for other eggs in their do
nestle economy.

Near Tillamook, Ore, lives an old
German farmer. One day as he CHANGED
to be driving along the beach, what
should greet his watchful gaze but a
large, fat sea lion some distance out on
the sand, fast asleep. 1t was the work
of but moment for Jacob to make a
lasso Of stout rope he had in his
wagon, make it fast to the hind axle
thereof and adjust the moose over Mr..
Sealion's head. He jumped into the
wagon and started homeward with his
prize. Mr.. Sealion did the same, and
as he was the stronger of the two teams,
Mr.. Jacob started seward at a good
pace, and only saved himself and out
fit by springing quickly out, grasping
his jackknife as he went and cutting
his end of the rope.

Imaginative Animals.

The other week spoke Of the power
Of imagination. A friend tells me that
dogs are as much under its influence
as men, and he has, in consequence,
discovered method by which O tender
hearted man can bring up his pup in
the way 1t should go without unneces-
sary suffering to either party. My
friends method Is to keep in his yard
big butter-tub and thick stick.
When his dog has misbehaved he
chains 1t up close to the tub, gives It q
couple Of cuts with the stick, scolds It
theoretically, and then sets to work to
larrup the barrel. With every blow
that falls upon the tub the dog bowls
and struggles. BY the time my friend
has worn himself out upon the barrel
the dog has received all the moral good
that could have been afforded him by
a laundering good whipping, and is
repentant and consciencG-strlcken for
the next three days. In fact, the imagln-
alive animal fancies that he really has
had beating, and is as sorry for him
self as IL he had been half-killed. MY
friends motto is, Spare the tub and
spoil the dog" Being a kind man, he
hated the severity that is necessary to
the training Of animals, and his dis
Covery has removed a great burden
from his mind. He can punish his dog
and Immediately after sit down and en-
Joy his dinner-a thing that, in the old
days, could not be thought Of. He tells
me that he has never found the plan
to miscarry, and he has tried 1t on
dozens of dogs.-Jerome X. Jerome.

received his letter:

Aside from the question of increased

from trees well fortified is enough
better to repay the cost. If grass is
