In the province of Smolensk, there
is little state practically governed
and inhabited for the greater part of
the year by women. The state is about
forty miles square and includes a num-
Der of villages which formerly belonged
70 the convent of Besjukow, The state
is known as the Kingdom Of Women"
because the male inhabitants emigrate
at certain time each year to seek work
in other parts Of the empire, leaving
affairs of local government to their bet-
ter halves. The woman mayor presides
ct the communal assemblies, where the
women discuss with praiseworthy zeal
questions of public interest. The finan-
cia! condition of the state Is said to be
excellent, and the women have all the
pin money they want.

The Chicago papers contain the an
nouncement that young man has won
the first prize for oratory in a certain
high school. This sort of thing should
be stopped at once. There is nothing
that is killing off our promising high
school pupils like oratory. There seems
to be some subtle poison lurking in
the flowing robes Of oratory that saps
the young life ere 1t blossoms into man
hood. Thousands of high schools
throughout the land are shooting thou
sands of brilliant young orators
through the manhole of fame before
they arc we'll out of knee breeches. But
what becomes of them? No one ever
hears of these great orators becoming
men and holding senates spellbound, as
they once held high schools. The NOR
tally of the boy orator at the present
day must be 100 per cent. This ter
rible slaughter of young lives should
be stopped at once.

Speak Out Your Love.


A French journal gives one excellent
way by which we may advance Christs
kingdom, as follows:
Let your friends know that you love
them. Do not keep alabaster boxes Of
your love and tenderness sealed up
until your friends are dead. Fill your
lives with sweetness; speak kind, ap-
proving words while their hearts can
hear them. The things you mean to
say when they are gone say before they
gothic flowers you mean to send for
their coffin send to brighten their
homes before they leave them.
If my friends have alabaster boxes
full of perfumes Of sympathy and affec-
ticn, which they intend to break over
my dead body, l would rather they
would bring them out in my weary days
and open them that may be refreshed
and chee-ed by them while need them.
| would rather have bare coffin
without n flower, and funeral with
out an eulogy, than life with
out the sweetness OF love and
sympathy. Let us learn to anoint
our friends beforehand for burial.
ost-mortem kindnesses do not cheer
the burdened spirit. Flowers on the
coffin cast no fragrance over the weary
days of our lives.

A great many exhibits in the way of
mysterious disappearance come to the
cognizance of the plural persons who
make the newspapers, but the loss re-
ported from fiourishing western city
recently is surely the strangest of the
lot. The person in question, says the
telegram, drove into the center of the
city on Friday in the family carriage
and tied the horse on the principal
street; then sunk out of sight into the
crowd" There is something positively
uncanny about this vanishment. This
choosing of the center of the city, the
principal street and the middle Of the
day ewes the disappearance a weirdly
theatrical effect, as though the vanisher
deliberately selected test conditions. {"

80, my God" says some man. "how can
I come to thee? am so far off. Who
will help me, I am SO weak? 1t seems
such q great undertaking" Oh, my
brother, 1t is great undertaking! IL
is SO great you cannot accomplish 1t.
but Christ can do the work. He will
correct your heart and he will correct
your life. "Oh," you say. II will stop
profanity" That will not save you.
"oh," you say, II will stop Sabbath
breaking" That will not save you.
There is only one door into the king
dom of God, and that Is faith; only one
ship that sails for heaven, and that is
faith. Faith the first step. the second
step. the hundredth step. the thou
sandth step, the last step. BY faith we
enter the kingdom. BY faith we keep
in. BY faith We die. Heaven a reward
of faith. The earthquake shook down
the Philippian dungeon. The jailor
said: What shall do?" Some of you
would say: Better get out of the
place before the walls crush YOU"
What did the Apostle say? Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt
be saved" "Ah," you say, there's tho
rub" What Is faith? Suppose you were
thirsty and / offered you this glass of
water, and you believed meant to give
it to you, and you came up and took it.
You exercise faith. You believe l mean
to keep my promise. Christ offers you
the water of everlasting life. You take
it. That Is faith.
Enter into the kingdom of God. En-
ter now. The door of life is set wide
open. l plead with you by the blood
sweat OF Gethsemane and the death
groan OF Golgotha, by cross and crown,
by Pilates courtroom and Joseph's
sepulchre, by harps and chains, by
Kingdoms Of light and realms of dark
ness, by the trumpet of the archangel
that shall wake the dead, and by the
throne of the Lord God Almighty and
the Lamb, that you attend now to the
things OF eternity. Oh, what a sad
thing it will be If, having come so near
heaven, We miss it! Oh, to have come
within sight of the shining pinnacles
of the city and not have entered! Oh,
to have been so near we have seen the
mighty throng enter, and we not join
ing them! Angels of God, fly this way!
Good news for you, tell the story
among the redeemed on high! II there
be one there especially longing for
our salvation, let that one know it now.
We put down our sorrows. Glory be to
God for such hope, for such pardon,
for such Joy, for such a heaven, for
such a Christ!

Low Temperature in Chemistry.

M. Raoul Pictet, who has done much
original chemical work at low temper
atures, suggests that by making use of
low temperatures syntheses may be OBJ
tanned which would be otherwise i'm
possible. In many chemical operations
the heat generated so raises the general
temperature OF the bodies acted upon
that all control over the combination is
lost. At very low temperatures, how
ever, all chemical action ceases. By
choosing the right temperature, there
fore, reaction between chemicals may
be made as slow as desired. BY this
means M. Pictet has effected combina-
lions that are impossible at ordinary
temperatures.

why Oysters Suffer from Drought.


An intelligent Claiborne oyster pack
err gives these as the reasons why the
oysters are so poor at this tinno:
First the excessive droughts of the
summer and fall, and, second, the sim
gular fact, that this year, particularly
since the beginning of simmer, the
Chesapeake tides have been extremely
moderate, not more than eighteen in
ches between high and low water any
time at the minimum. AS the oyster
is stationary and cannot go in pursuit
of food, the food must be brought to the
oyster. Heavy rains sweeping down
from the uplands over the oyster bot
toms bring food, so does the agitation
Of the waters by rains, windstorms and
currents.
I'm our waters the tides produce the
currents and it can easily be seen that
when the tides rise and fall three feet
q much stronger current Is produced
than when only at eighteen inches. Two
or three heavy rains, some violent
windstorms stirring up the water from
surface to bottom and a succession OF
strong tides would soon fatten the oys-
tiers. Were the oysters fat there would
be enough in our waters for the sea-
sons demand. In their present condl-
ton, If 1t remains SO, there will not be.
When a packer gets an order now for
100 gallons Of oysters it will take IT'S
bushels to fill it, whereas, IL they were
in prime condition, 100 bushels would
do it."-BaltimOre Sun.

The full bench of the Maine supreme
court handed down decision for the
defendants in a suit for heavy damages
against a Bangor furniture concern that
sold folding bed which shut up like
jacknife upon Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
White, making Mr.. White a helpless
and hopeless cripple and seriously but
not permanently injuring Mrs. White.
The court says that the defendant firm
had no knowledge Of the faulty design
OF the bed which made it dangerous
trap, and that no phase of the case casts
any liability upon the firm.

Christian EndcnVor Crumha.

Not content with doing remarkable
cvangeistic work among the heather
of their own town and neighborhood,
the Endeavorers of Nellore, India, talk
of adding foreign missionary commit
tee TO their working forces. They want
to have a share in mission work out
side of India.
Only four persons in Lamar, Col,
would take the pledge when the Pleas
ant Valley Young Peoples Society Of
Christian Endeavor was organized, in
1892. Since that time, however, the
society has increased, and has supplied
the only religious service in the place,
except the Sunday school. Out Of this
society a church has now gro:n.
The missionary spirit that is abroad
in Christian Endeavor was manifested
strikingly at a joyous service held by
Christian Endeavor society at st.
Thomas, Ont. These three questions
were asked at the conservation meet
ing: 1. How many would be willing,
if they knew 1t to be the Lords will,
to go to a foreign mission field?" 2.
How many would like to go?" 3. How
many expect to go?" Notice had been
given four weeks in advance that these
questions would be asked. of the
eighty active membersr, thirty-five an
swered affirmatively to the first ques-
ton, twenty to the second and nine
to the third.
Three prize banners will be awarded
at the Washington convention to three
Christian Endeavor local unions. The
first banner will so to the union making
the best showing in the way Of definite
and practical Christian citizenship
work. The second will be awarded to
the local union having the largest
number Of individual members who
| give not less than one-tenth of their
income to God. The third. or fellowship
banner, will be secured by the union
organizing the largest number of new
Christian Endeavor societies of any
kind. Chicago, Cleveland and Phila-
delphia, respectively, secured thess
banners at the Boston convention. Lo-
cal unions should send detailed reports
of their work to Secretary Baer before
June Is.

Sunday Observance.

The American Sunday should be re-
garded as a day of rest. The wheels of
industry should be closed, and the day
should be spent in rest, recreation and
prayer. All mankind should unite in
offering up their hearts to God in praise
and alteration. Every citizen through
out America should identify himself
with the American Sunday. We arc
called upon not to celebrate. but to OPP
pose the celebration of tho European
Sunday. All Christians should vigor-
ously oppose even the slightest intro
ductien of the foreign Sunday in Amer
ica,-Rev. Father Mark.

DIR. Merryweathers Ingenious Contriv-
ancs -Experiments Seriously Made.
The medicinal leech is still left on
the list of weather prophets, though
he has no doubt had his powers exag-
gerated, and two books have been writ
ten about his behavior during changes
OF weather, says Nature. One is by
Mrs. Woollams, who during long ILL
ness watched a leech in a bottle and
carefully noted what 1t did, and the
other is by a gentleman at Whitby,
who came to the conclusion that the
leeches could be made to give audible
and useful storm warnings.
So he contrived an instrument. No
one would imagine from its appearance
what it's use could be. 1t consisted oil
twelve glass bottles, each containing
leech in water and arranged in circle
in order, as the humane inventor states,
that the leeches may see each 0ther
and not endure the afliction OF quite
solitary conference.-the rather re-
minds us Of Isaak Walton, who told his
pupil TO put the hook into the worm
"tenderly, as II he loved IL. IN each
bottle was a metal tube of particular
form, which was made somewhat diff
cult for leech to enter, but into which
it would endeavor somehow to creep be-
fore a thunderstorm, according to its
nature.
In each tube was a small piece OF
whalebone, to which gilt chain was
attached, and so arranged on the
mousetrap principle that when the
whalebone was moved bell at the top
of the apparatus was rung by means OF
the chain. There were twelve leeches,
so that every chance was given that one
at least would sound storm signal.
The author called this apparatus the
tempest prognosticator," name
which he preferred-and I think we
shall agree with him-to that Of atmos-
pheric electric telegraph conducted by
animal instinct. He went on to state

Mrs. Butler has the distinction OF being

the outcome of a notable fusion be-
