SIR EVELYN WOOD.

There must be few Britons who are
not familiar with Sir Evelyn Woods
achievements; how, for instance, at
Kambula he held his own with hand
full against many thou sands of brave
Zulu warriors. A singular combination
OF the SudUiter IN modo with the forti-
ter IN re, Woods soldiers have ever
loved and respected him with an almost
unique personal fidelity. OF a compact
and nervous build, man somewhat
under medium size, his body is scanned
with wounds; yet he can endure fatigue
and privation with the toughest. There
is command in the clear blue eye; the
sweetness of his smile goes to your heart
and stays there. A man of singular
modesty, it is not from himself that one
can hear a word of Woods conduct un-
der fire. But when l first visited his
camp in Zululand, some of his soldiers
took me up to the bare ridge of KAN
bula, where, out in the open. up against
the skyline. he stood directing the fight
ing, while the Zulu attacks surged in
front and on fianks, and while storm
of bullets whistled about him. Wood
has been fighting man from his boy
hood. He received his first wound when
a midshipman in battery in front Of
Sebastopol. Then he went into the
cavalry; and in the Mutiny time he won
the Victoria Cross in command of
corps of wild, irregular horsmen which
he had himself recruited. He fought in
China. and had little campaign all to
himself in Africa with Lord Wolseley.
AS poor ColleY's successor on the Dor
der of the Transvaal he proved himself
as wise in council as he had shown him
self valiant in war. A manY-sided man,
he found time in an interval of peace to
become barrister; he was the most pur-
poseful, the most thorough, and the most
unresting divisional commander that AL
dershot has ever known; he is habitu.
ally at the War Office from A. M. to 5
A. NJ; he is in the first fight in the hunt
ing field. and he has published volume

THE MUD HOUSE.

1t was a warm. sunny day in June.
when wasp decided to build herself
house. For some time she had watched
her three cousins as they busily worked
on their own homes, but their ways did
not suit her.
One cousin was boring her nest in a
decayed fence-post; a second had hung
hers from a limb of a tree; while
third, too lazy to do either the one or
the other, had taken possession of de-
serted angle-worm's hole in the ground,
and was now carrying into this hole
kicking green caterpillar as food for the
young grub.
NO." thought our wasp. II shall not
do as my cousins are doing, for | know
I can do better. I suppose my cousin
in the fence-post thinks that she has
chosen safe place for herself. but she
did not stop to think that in a thunder
shower that post may be struck by
lightning. Then, too, perhaps the far
mer will tear down those old rails and
put up new ones. | shouldn't wonder
bit il he did, for that wood is so rotten
that it cannot stand many more strong
winds.
NOW, see the foolishness of my tree
cousin! 1t may be pleasant to have til
breeze swing her huge paper nest, up
among those green leaves, but she had
better take care! Breezss sometimes
become hurricanes; there ia the same
danger of being killed by lightning, and
it would be just like one of those horrid
human beings to cut down the tree
itself.
"My earth cousin is no wiser than the
others. She may be trodden by any
kind of animal that happens to come
this way, or those dreadful creatures
that live in the ground will bore into
her nest and eat her little grub. The
angle-worm that owns that hole may
come back and drive her out. How
angry he would be to find that she had
moved in without even asking the price
of the rent"-Cumberldnd Presbyte-
ridn.

PIANOS CARRIED 200 MILES BY
MEN.

There are said to be over 400 pianos in
Durango that were carried upon the
shoulders of poems more than 200 miles
before the railroads came this way.
There were no cart roads. and burros,
mules and men furnished all transpor-
ton. A gang Of sixteen men. working
eight at time and relieving each other
at frequent intervals, can carry piano
long way if they keep at it long enough
and have their load rugged so they can
get under it. The heavy machinery in
the mines around Durango was all
brought in the same way.
Ex-Governor Shepherd, who lives at
Batopilas, mining town in the Sierra
Madre mountains hundred miles or
so west of Chihuahua, has piano in
the house that was carried over 400
miles on the backs of men, and it's
transportation from Washington cost
5000.
But know an even bigger story than
that. The only steamboat on Lake Cha
pala--a body of water in the southern
part OF the republic that is 100 miles
long and 30 miles wide-was built in San
Franciso. taken to pieces and brought in
parts to San Bias, port on the Pacific,
and from there carried over two ranges
Of mountains on the backs of poems and
burros. The name of this wonderful
boat is Liberty Correspondence of

LESSON STORY.

The Inner Voice spoke to Solo,
mon in his maturity as it had spoken to
him at the threshold of his career.
At Gideon it was, we recall. Dream
Voice. We are told that it was now
simply Night Voice.
We may unhesitatingly believe in was
in any case the Voice of God. What do
we mean by this? Not that it was liter
ally suspension of the Eternal Silence.
Not that the Omnipresent One actu-
ally became man, or like man to speak
as man speaks. We wrong the intent
of the tradition when we attempt to con-
strue it with narrow and unnatural
liberalism. But it was an absolutely
truthful voice, and the Truth is ever
Gods word. 1t interpreted truly the
nature of things; and the right interpre-
tation of the nature of things is always
divine.
1t is manifest that there could have
been no historic basis whatever for the
story of Solomon's private experience
told by the old annalist. except it came
from Solomon himself. 1t must have
been Solomon himself who. twenty-four
years before, reported that God had
made manifest his presence to him in the
night-season, and had invited him to
solemnly and decisively make his life
choice. 1t was the same royal prophet
who now, in his prosperous maturity,
declares that he has heard Voice in
the Silence speaking to him in solemn
warning.
The Voice promises Solomon bless
ing las the Lesson Commission has by
the title of our Lesson declared), but it
is blessing conditioned on an Ii. The
whole emphasis indeed is to be placed
on the If. The IF, as we dwell upon it
grows colossal. Let us try and translate
into simple terms the message of the
