Among the chief attractions of the
German capital is the Geological gar
den, and on fine summer days as well
as on holidays throughout the year the
visitors often number 10000 to 10000.
Low admission days are provided for
by the management with the price
down to rs pfennig (six cents), so that
everybody is sure to view this institu-
ton of popular amusement and instruc-
tion once in awhile. And the Geological
garden is well deserving of it's popular
ity. 1t now contains (barring amphib-
ious and aquatic animal life, in which
the aquarium, a purely private institu-
ton in Inter den Linden, is exhaustive)
the most comprehensive and best
housed collection of living beasts and
birds to be found anywhere in the
world.
1t may, for instance, surprise many
readers, yet it is an absolute fact, that
the entire fauna of the United States
may nowhere be seen in such perfect

TERSE SAYINGS.
Some Epigrammatic Notes Taken from
tho Rams Horn.

g. tho Rams Horn.
Christ lived all the truth He taught.
God made other men to show us what
is in US.
The Christian who worries much,
prays too little.
There is no faith in the prayer that
expects no answer.
A good mans life is voice in which
many hear God speak.
No matter how God warns the sinner,
He always does it in love.
A sinners life is full of things he tries
to hide from himself.
No one who loves as Christ loved can
live in this world without making it
better.
1t is not hard to believe in Christ
when we see His face in the lives of
those we love.
Putting sand in sugar is no worse
than claiming to be q saint and living
like sinner.
There is no trouble so bad that we
may not get good out of it by talking it
over with the Lord.
Every man who has tried it, will tes-
tify that it is uphill business trying to
live religious without religion.
We wrong God and cheat men, if we
refuse to let our light shine as it should,
