There is considerable excitement
among the students and faculty of Har.
ward over the rumor that the celebrated
Louisburg cross has been discovered in
the rooms of certain secret society.
The cross is of real historic value.
It was taken from the old Catholic
cathedral at Louisburg by the English
under Shirley in l745, and after va
ried career in Massachusetts, was put up
over the entrance to the Harvard libra
nv, where 1t remained until about ?
year ago, when it mysteriously disap-

ToPIc.-Lessons from Solomon's life and
writings.--I Kings iii. 5-l5.
Solomon was the youngest son Of
David, the king of Israel. His name
meant "the peaceful one," probably
given because David was man of war
and desired quiet and peace for his son.
Solomon was born and reared in Jerusa-
lem. His mother was Bathsheba, the
widow of Uriah, the Hittite. Until ABB
salom's death he was the favorite son Of
David and the destined heir to the
throne. AT his death Solomon succeed
ed to the vacant place in his fathers
heart, and David promised Bathsheba
that at his death Solomon should be-
come the king. Solomon was raised I'M
der the influences of his father and Ma
than, the prophet. He was educated in
a manner fitting his position and his flu
ture destiny as king. When David was
old and feeble, Adonijah, Solomons
older brother, attempted to usurp the
throne, but his plot miscarried, and Sol
ONION was anointed king at Gihon. His
father soon died, and he then became
the sole occupant Of the throne. Solo,
mon reigned for AZ years over Israel,
and in his reign the kingdom reached
its most splendid position among ma
tives. Never before or since has it
equaled the splendor of Solomon's time.
Royalty from far and near came to be-
hold the magnifcence of Israel and
catch the words of wisdom that fell
from Israel's king. His principal work
was the building Of the temple. he also
built for himself magnificent royal
palace. But his life was marred by his
union with heather wifes and his gross
idolatry, which resulted from such mar
riages.
Solomon was prolific writer. "He
spake 5000 proverbs, and hts songs
were thousand and five" Il Kings iv,
82). We have only a few Of his 5000
proverbs and none Of his songs. Much
may be learned from the life and writ
ings of Solomon that should be instruct
i've and beneficial. Learn
1. A lesson on wisdom. Solomon wa
wise mantle wisest of men. Wher'
did he get wisdom? From God. Why
Because he desired it above everything
else, that he might do his life worl
properly. How did he use itP For tn
formation of splendid nation and TIN
betterment of the human race. We al
need wisdom. Let us seek it earnestl.
Of God, that we may do the work OF life
and when obtained let us use it TO
Christ and humanity.
g., A lesson ON folly. Solomon was
good preacher, but poor practicer.
seems paradoxical, and yet the wisest
men was one Of the most foolish of men
AS poet he could see the charms an
beauties of life, as a philosopher tn
wisdom of virtue and the folly OF vice
J but as a man he failed to be benefite
by what he saw. Let us be warned b
his example and his fate.

The Folly of Unbelief.

In view of the prevailing and abiding
love of Him in whose hands all power
in heaven and ON earth is lodged. what
a folly seems our unbeliefl And what q
sin and shame our worryi We have but
the duty of the present. The provision
for the morrow is our Fathers care.
And because He cares and wills that
we should have the help that never fails
His trusting children in their hour OF
need we can put our whole strength
into the moments work, assured that
the morrow's task will never be allow

working In the Vineyard.

In the vineyard of our Father
Daily work we find to do.
Scattered gleanings we may gather
Though we are but young and few.
Little clusters
Help to fill the gamers too.
Toiling early In the morning,
Catching moments through the day.
Nothing small or lowly scorning,
While we work and watch aid pray,
Gathering gladly
Free will offerings by the way
Not for selfish praise or glory,
Not for objects nothing worth.
But to send the blessed story
or the gospel DER the earth,
Telling mortals
OF our Lord and Saviour's birth.
Up and ever at our calling
TIN In death our lips are dumb
Or Till, sims dominion falling.
Christ shall In his kingdom come
And HIS children
Reach their everlasting home.

HARD TIMES IN ALASKA.

U. Day is miner He is a big, fine
looking man, and for years before he de-
cided TO go to Alaska he worked in the
silver mines. - the East. He was ex-
perienced in his business. and when he
made a trip to Alaska four years ago and
took look at the country he made up
his mind that he would come back to the
United States and get his wife. bride of
few months, and return to the land
of gold, says the San Francisco Call,
He caIne back and his wife. who was at
that time living in a suburb of Minneapo-
lis, Mimi, consented to return with him
to Alaska. She was not very strong. nut
had plenty of nerve. .Dund in the spring,
with the aid of her husband. she reached
the Yukon mining district in safety
Her coming was great ey cnt among the
miners. But one or two women had even
been among them, and those had held aloof
from the common miners. Mrs. Day tookan
intcres,inthem and endeavoredto bringhaE-
pinesS into their lives. Just two years ago
she gave birth to twin boys. Never did the
coming of any one. not even of the hardy
men who carry the mail, create such fer.

down today say that for three months after
the birth of the twins Mr. and Mrs. Dayrc-
ceived presents from miners far away who
heard OF the new arrivals. They were the
firstchildrel ever bornin tn Yukon district,
and they were the petted and caressed and
humored ms though they werethc children Of
some great king.
On June 3, this year, Mrs. Day, who had
not been well since the birth of the children,

broken open, and there was the delicate

from the plaster the cast was painted,
and the result was a lIfelike production
of the delicate iusect. AZ
Another remarkable production OF Wizard
Hendlcy wa an ear, which was attached to
the head OF Chicago man, who had his
naturalorgan bitten Off by hts brothcrduring
fight. The artificial ear was a wonder.
1t was as flexible as fleslt. the color was
natural, and it defied the closest scrutiny.
For this piece OF work Mr.. Hendley res
ceived $500. Afterward he received sew
eral orders for flexible ears and noses.
HIS ANATOMICAL WORK.
He Is now engaged on anatomical work,
and has made n truly wonderful produc-
ton OF the burned hand OF a young carriage
painter in this city named F. L. Blau. On
January 10, 1895, Blau had his right hand
horribly disfigured. While dumping a coal

had been almost entirely destroyed. The

He also has a cast Of a colored woman s
foot and ankle, showing a terrible ulcera-

The agony caused Blau to faint, with the
pain caused muscular contraction and the
fingers were clenched aboutthe coal.
Specimens of his handiwork can he found
