they would be startled. What. + as
rich as that king? one would ask
who is clad in garments of poverty and
at times has not half enough to eat.
UNDERVALUE OUR SOULS.
But it is true. said the speaker. for
we have immortal souls, and if we are
startled at placing our wealth above
Soiomon's. il is only because we have
undervalued our souls. How does God
value the soul, God who is omnipotent
and the ruler of the boundlesS uni
verse? Take. for instnace, the stiff
necked and rebellious Jews. Despite
all their crimes and even though they
were lapsing into idOltary, still God
selected them as His chosen people.
gave them innumerable gifts, took
them from the darkness of slavery and
bondage and established them in the
happiness and peace of the Promised
Land
Not for all the gold. silver and pre-
cious stones of King Solomon or of the
world, or of a thousand worlds. would
God shed even one drop of blood; but
for even one soul He was willing TO
shed the last drop. 1t is wise to learn
from an enemy. The devil is the great
est enemy of human souls. st. Peter
says he goes about like u roaring lion
seeking whom he may devour; hun
cry lion seeking for souls, and the devil
would give all the wealth of the world
10 damn one soul.
LAYS WARY TRAPS.
He lays wary traps to enmesh them,
through pride, through covetousness,
fame, honor. and the vanieties of the
world. y man will make the excuse
that he has no time to attend to his re-
liGiouS duties, but the same man has
time for worldly pursuits, amusements.
pleasures, and so on. but no time for
his soul. The speaker urged his hear
crs to learn from these lessons the
value of their souls.
After the sermon the announcements

CLEVER CHINESE coNJURERs.
Tricks They Perform Which Puzzle the
Most Expert Europeans.

The court jugglers in the time of Kub-
lai Kahn made it appear to those VINO
looked on as If dishes from the table
actually flew through the air. One of
the travellers who visited the regions
of which Marco gives us some account
says "And jugglers cause cups OF
gold to fly through the air and offer
themselves to all who list to drink. ,
And Ibn Batuta, a Moor who visited
Cathay century after. gives this ac-
count of a similar incident:
THAT same night a juggler. who was
one of the khan's slaves. made his ap-
pearance, and the amir said to him:
Come and show US some of your mar,
yels.' Upon this he took a wooden ball
with several holes through it through
which long thongs were passed. and
LAYING hold of one of these. slung it in
The air. 1t went so high that we lost
sight of 1t altogether. 1t was the hot
test season of the year and we were out
side in the middle of the palace court.
There now remained only little of the
end of a thong in the cOnjurer's hand,
and he desired one of the boys who as
sisted him to lay hold of 1t and mount.
He did so. climbing by the thong. and
we lost sight of him also. The con1urer
then called to him three times, but get
ting no answer. he snatched up knife
as if in great rage, laid hold or the
thong, and disappeared also! ny anu
by he threw down one of the boy 5
hands then foot, then the other hand,
and then the other foot, then the trunk,
and, last of all. the head! Then he
came down himself, all putting and
painting. and, with his clothes all bloody,
kissed the ground before the amir and
said something to him in Chinese. The
amir gave some order in reply, and our
friend then took the lads limbs, laid
them together in their places, and gave
kick, when, presto! there was the
boy, who got up and stood before us!
Ali this astonished me beyond measure
and 1 had an attack of palpitation like
that which overcame me once before in
the presence of the sultan of India,
when he showed me something of the
same kind. The Kazi Afkharrudin was
next to me, and quoth he: 'Wallah!

DRIED UP ON A DESERT ISLAND
Four Sailors on a Desert Island Were
Cremated by Natural Heat.

Uncle Robert William Quimby of Lew
iston says that he has travelled in all the
warm countries of the globe and that he
has been in the coolest ATTITUDES. He
does not think that we have such very
hot weather. If people would make pro-
vision for the hot days as they do in In
dia, he thinks we should not notice it
SO much.
But" says he, "the warmest weather
that I ever experienced was on a small
island called Johns Biscuit, off Cape
Gracias, in Honduras. The Elizabeth
Jennings, on which 1 sailed in 1870 from
Portland, stopped there for water. and
a boats crew went ashore for it. 1t was
little volcanic island and awful dry
and hot. We didn't know whether there
would be any water there or not, but we
did find a spring with a stream as large
as a broom handle pouring out all the
time. And do you believe me! the water
was dried up and soaked up before it
had run four feet in the sand. The place
was covered with dried trees and little
distance away was what looked like a
