teacher met one Of his scholars, a little
girl. and said to her, "Why were you
not at Sunday-school yesterday, Jen-
nie?" After twisting In her hands for
some moments a obviously clean apol-
ogy for an apron Jennie answered, with
downcast eyes: Because my hat was
SO dirty, SIR what of that?" said
the teacher, still more seriously. Don't
you know that God does not care for
outward appearances? He looks to
that which is of Infinitely more impor-
tance, Jennie-that which is within"
Eyes, SIR said the little maid sub

O. B. Stanton has made great hit
in discovering water in the Mojave
desert He had noticed a little mois-
ture at several points on the surface
among some knobs on country grad
uallS rising back towards the noun
tains His idea was that by digging a
series Of pits enough water might be
gathered to be valuable. Here is his
own account Of his experience. The
first hole, however, was the last. The
idea was to cut them six feet square
and twenty feet deep. Well, when the
men got down about eighteen or nine
teen feet the bottom burst right UP,
and the water poured in SO fast that
they had to get out in a hurry. In less
than forty minutes the reservoir was
overlooking. There is plenty of water
for one hundred stamps if necessary.
The flow is six inches.

cate has begun a peculiar work. 1t is
the breeding, demonstrating, training
and sale of domestic or domesticated
animals in the German colonies in At
RIGA. In thosevast territories, it seems,
beasts of draft and for riding purposes
are wholly lacking, whereby commune
expensive, because human power has
to be employed IN lieu Of animal power.
Fresh butter, milk and beef are also
wanting, and swine, goats and sheep
are of inferior grade and not numerous
enough. The company will, therefore,
breed the Sunda pony, the tame buffalo,
the zebra (crosslng it with the Mascot
and the native African Donkey, the ell
ephant. the camel and dromedary, inn
prove the native breeds Of swine, goats
and sheep, and start ostrich farms on
the plateau lands of East Africa, as
well as in Togo and German Southwest
Africa.
The Solo,nons are not extinct. At
Chios, the capital Of the island of the
Same name in the Aegean sea, the de-
c;sion of Turkish Judge In railroad
accident damage case has excited the
admiration of the inhabitants of that
town. This wise eSpounder of the law
aaiudged tc man who had lost an
arm through the carelessness of the
railroad employe 5000 piasters (about
$4,000. while to q woman who had lost
her husband On the same occasion he
awarded only 1000 piasters When the
cadi. upon announcing his decision, no.
ticed looks of surprise among those at
tending the trial, he solemnly declared,
..f,bildren of the faithful, so let it be
done! You yourselves will perceive
+he Justice of my judgment. Poor Ach-
med lost limb that no power on earth
&c able TO restore to him. But you,
Fatina," turning TO the widow, you
are still young and handsome and now
;n possession of a sufficient dowry. 1t
win not be difficult for you to replace
vour late husband by one just as good,
or better. This is my decision: thus
shall it be executed"
