Eugenie's Strange Pet.

Empress Eugene is reported to be de-
veloping tastes of such an eccentric char
acter as to give rise to serious doubts
about her mental equilibrium. Thus she
is lavishing the most extravaganza care
and attention upon a little hedgehog
which she picked up in her wanderings
about her English country place at Farm
borough The velvet and satin-lined
basket in which its nest has been ar
ranged is of silver gilt studded with
jewels, while every day the widowed
empress changes the dainty ribbon with
which it is adorned. She talks to the
little animal by the hour and insists on
taking it about everywhere with her in
her walks. her drives and even at table,
while at night it sleeps on q little con
sole beside her bed.

Top1c.-Doubts and Gisiicnlties.--r.i. xl. LII.
"a question Lox meeting susststsl.)
This psalm may be divided into two
l..lrts--the first (vcrses I-1Gl dealing
with former difficulty and how relief
came from God in it, and the second
(verscs HID cry and Il prayer for
deliverance from fresh calamities that
have come upon the writer. The expert
ence of the psalmist i'll both instances,
and particularly in the first, sets forth
doubts and perplexities from which we
may be delivered in all their phases
What may be said of doubts may also
be said of difficulties.
/. Doubts and Difficulties. The best
of Christians meet doubts and difficult
ties i'll their Christian experience. Tho
palmist here had evidently fallen into
the slough of despond. He had been in
q pit of destruction, i'll a swamp of miry
clay, where no would experience the
horror Of realizing that he was sinking,
and yet could not stay his downward
course because there was no solid foot
ing beneath him. He speaks of no phys
ical sickness, of no persecution by oi2e-
mics, and therefore we may conclude
that his trouble was mental and spir-
itual, some doubt or perplexity that
had taken possession of his mind con-
corning his spiritual condition or con-
corning the things that involved his
spiritual blessedness. All Christians
may meet these times OF doubt and de-
spondency. They may come from trou-
BILE, from disappointment, from inabil-
ity to understand all we would like to
understand concerning God and the fu-
ture life, from failure to be faithful and
true to Cod.
2. The Remedy For Doubts and Diff
culties The psalnist sets before us the
only true remedy: In each case he wait
ed upon the Lord, he prayed to God
''I waited patiently or surely upon the
Lord. and He inclined unto mo and
heard my cry Thus he did his part,
and then God did His, for next he says,
HE brought me up also out of hor-
rible pit, out of q miry swamp and set
my feet upon rock and established my
goings and He hath put new song in
my mouth. God is the only remedy for
doubts and perplexities. If we wait upon
Him, if we cry unto Him, Ho will hear
us and answer us by removing the diff
Guilty from us or by giving us grace to
endure il. II VIC trust in God in time Of
doubt and dependency and come to
Him, He will place us upon the rock,
Christ Jesus, and instead of dependency
and despair there will be songs of joy
in the heart and Oh our Tongues.
If doubts come, let us trust God and
act as if there were no doubta. Obedi-
ence brings assurance. ''f any man
will do His will, he shall know of the
doctrine whether it be of God.

Even Trainmen cannot Gross the TRACKS

conIenr de Rose

There is a story told of an Engllsh
woman whose husband was in politics,
and who was in consequence obliged
to entertain numerous people in whom
she not only felt no possible interest,
but many of whom were absolutely dis
tasteful to her. 1t was exceedingly try
ing at times, this being forced to well
come unwelcome visitors with a show
Of cordiality, but subtle plan of re-
yenge, which would at the same time
afford her amusement, finally occurred
to her. At the next large dinner that
she and her husband gave the room was
lighted by little electric lights with
colored globes, which were suspended
from the ceiling and hung above the ia
BILE in big circle. Upon such of the
guests as had been the lady's choice q
soft, rosy light was cast, making men
and women alike appear at their best,
while here and there CHASTITY green rays
fell upon some unfortunate constituent
of her husband who was too much i'm
pressed by the magnifeenee of the feast
to have any thought for his or her APP
pearance.

FLORAL LIFE.
A Chapter ON the Sentiment of Mother
hood In the Plant.

A Chapter ON the Sentiment of Mother
hood In the Plant.
In his Investigations of the psychology
of the unconscious, DR.. David Allyn
Gorton of Brooklyn notes the sentiment
of motherhood IN the plant, though it
is less strongly marked than in animals
Many Towering species, he observes,
take special care of the seed in budding
time. in protecting it against rain and
frost, by wrapping their petals around
it or inclosing it by the lips of their
corollas. This precaution is taken by
many plants at night to protect the
young and tender bud from the dew.
The impatiens noli-me-tangere hides
even its flowers under its leaves by
night. Many plants inolose their young
in horny cases, and these again in thorny
burs to preserve them against rapacious
birds and insects, and to assure their
coming to maturity. Most ingenious of
all are some Of the aquatic plants to Sc
cure the same end. Take, for example,
the alga species, the water lily, the
crowfoot, the water nut, etc., which
send their flowers to the surface of the
water for fertilization, and when it is
accomplished draw them to the bottom
again.
This student Of psychology in the
plant world discovers equal significance
in certain phenomena among many diff
ferent species in respect to light, MOTTO
ing with other illustrations the behavior
Of the sunfower, (which will almost
break its neck in its eagerness for the
sunshine, and tho common grapevine,
which will invariably Irvine toward the
light
Wonderful again is the unfailing Ger
tainty with which plants select their
food. They choose only that which is
good for them, even when environed by
poisonous substances in solution. Their
instinct of the whereabouts of water is
unerring. I'm one of my excursions to
the country one dry season" says DR.
Gorton, II observed a certain elm
which, in search for water, had sent
numberless rootlets several rods away to
a ditch where there was running water
When / saw that it had not sent rootlets
in any other direction for this purpose,
/ could not but wonder how that tree,
consisting to tho outward sight of cellu-
lose, sap and ohlorophyl only, without
a rudiment Of nerve cell or nerve sub
stance to hang an instinct or to affix
reflex impulse upon. knew the existence
and direction of u stream of water"

A Great Wheel Salesman.

Recently several drummers happened
to meet ON train en- route to Indian
apolis, and they began, as usual, to tell
of their business. 1t happened that there
were some bicycle statesmen among
them.
Il struck great streak of luck last
week., T" said one Of them. II sold three
orders, and it amounted to 900 wheels. !"
Being the first man to boast Of his
business. he was easily outdone by the
next, and the third saw the others and
went some better He sold one firm
1000 wheels, and two other orders
amounted to 500.
You people are not in it," said a
small man, who had not taken part in
the conversation. 81 sold ono firm 8, 900
wheels. and they are all to be given
away for advertising purposes.
What's thati Sold 5000 wheels to
be given awayl What wheel do you

chorus
'The 1900 wheels / sold were con-
tanned in 1000 Waterbury watches

each Of the three men nine wheels for
their own use and accepting their offer
to get off at the next stop and "have
something. indianapolis Journal.

A CUNNING COLLECTOR.

Es ssas Devised Means by whiei. lie 10
Able to Reach Elusive Debtors.
The regulations of the postoffice de-
partment forbid postmasters to furnish
to inquirers the addresses Of persons
who have removed from the residences
or places of business formerly occupied
by them, the reason for this rule, as
given in the official instructions, being
as follows:
1.-The agents Of the postoffice depart
ment are furnished with the names and
addresses upon letters and other articles
Of mail matter for the sole purpose of
enabling them to make delivery thereof
to the persons intended. Such names
and addresses are to be regarded as con-
fidential, and this confidence must be
respected. 4"
Among those to whom this regulation
furnishes a protection against undesir-
able intrusion are some who have fol-
lowed the Arabian custom Of silently
stealing away after due folding of tents,
but have omitted to settle with their
grocers, butchers and milzmen. The
anxious creditors, on seeking from the
letter carrier or at the postoflice for aid
in finding the delinquents, are confronted
with this rule and retire from the
search baffled. An ingenious man, how
ever, whose business is thacof collect
or of such debts, has hit upon a method
Of smoking out these modest and retir-
ing nomads, and has practiced it with
success. His plan is to send each Of
them circular bearing heading which
gives the impression that he is i'll the
express business, and informing the re-
cipient that he has package for him
which he is unable to deliver for lack of
knowledge of his present address, to
which it will be promptly dispatched
on receipt Of the necessary information.
This circular is directed to the former
address of the man who is wanted"
and is then redirected and forwarded
by the postman to that which has been
confided to the postoffice. Inspired by
wild hopes as to the possible value OF
the package, the debtor takes the willy
author Of the circular also into his con-
fidence, sends him his new address and
awaits the arrival Of the mysterious
bundle, only to find too late that men
betray. He receives call from his cred
itor's representative, with demand for
an immediate settlement or threat of a
lawsuit Thus does the cunning pursuer
of the oft fitting debtor bring tonaught
the august mandate of the government.

And the airs full of birds.
One calls from the branch some sweet thing
And ono sings on the wing
The refrain.
You sang me song
MY heart thrilled to hear.
The refrain
Has run like a fillet of gold
Through the wool

Dark days Of year.
Tonight there's year at its start,
All the birds @re aloof.
Your eyes hold the sun for my part
And the springs in your heart.
