Being the first man to boast OF his

went some better. He sold one firm

amounted to 500.
"You people are not in it" said

The general topic of study for the
month of July is ''The Disciples Of Our
Lord" The special theme this week is
"The Call. i" At the Jordan, after His
baptism by John Baptist, Jesus is
sought out by two Of the followers of
the prophet who seem DESTROYS OF know
ing Him and being taught by Him.
Their interest has been awakened by the
strange words of the Baptist. While
standing by Him their attention is
called to Jesus of Nazareth, who is pass
ing by. Pointing To Him John cx-
claimed: "Sce! There is Gods lamb,
who removes the worlds sin.
The young men have listened earnest
" to the teaching of the prophet Of
Jordan, longing for the coming of
Messiah and the redemption of Israel
At once they follow Jesus, and coming
mp with Him open conversation. They
are soon convinced that they have found
no common man. One Of them, Andrew
by name, finds his brother Simon. after
ward called Peter, and brings him 10
Jesus Here we have probably the first
meeting Of the Master with two disci-
pies, who are afterward with Him in q
special intimacy closer than is given
any others IL His followers Peter.

A Strange African Race.

Strange stories are told of the Dokos,
who live among the moist, warm bamboo
woods to the south of kaffa and Susa, in
Africa. Only feet high, of dark olive
color, savage and naked. they have neither
houses nor temples. neither fire nor human
food They live only on ants, mice and
serpeDts diversified by few roots and
fruits. They let their nails grow long
like talons, the better To dig for ants and
the more easily To tear In pieces their ia
vorite snakes
The Dokos used to be invaluable IA
slaves, and they were taken in large mum
bers The slave hunters used To hold up
bright cocred clothes az they came To the
moist, warm bamboo woods, where these
human monkeys still live. and the poor
Dokos could not resist the attractions OF.

crowded around them and were taken In

These queer people have only one fault

habit of speaking To Yer with their heads
on the ground and their heels I'm the air
Yer Is their idea OF superior power, to
whom they talk In this comical manner
when they are dispirited or angry, or tired
of ants and snakes and longing for I'M

Do Diamonds Breede

One of the queerest of the old time
superstitions was the one that is respon-
sible for the notion that pearls and dia-
monds breed" like animals do Rues
says: "As for what know concerning
the reputed story that precious stones are
divided into sexes, male and female,
just as are plants and animals, and that
they breed like the latter do, l relate
the following, which came under my
own knowledge: A certain princess Of
Luxembourg had two diamonds, the col
ors Of which betokcned that they were
male and female. The princess laughed
at the notion until one day she was
startled by finding tiny speck Of dia
mond in her casket She put the two
large diamonds and the little one away

Prayer Pills.

The japanese wear wide sleeves to
their garments, in which they have six
or eight pockets In these they carry n
great variety Of articles. Among other
things they usually have n lot of prayer
amulets written by the priests on sheets
of delicate rice paper. When in any dis
tress of mind or body, these prayers are
swallowed, paper and all, like a pill.
1t would not be surprising if these
amulets would find large sale if in
troduced into this country. There are
many Christians who would relish some
such convenient method Of conducting
their devotions. If they could only
swallow their prayers instead of having
to spend time to say them. how nice it

IAL LIFE.
Chapter M the Sentiment OF Mother
hood In the Plant.

! Chapter M the Sentiment Of Mother
hood In the Plant.
In his investigations Of the psychology
Of the unconscious, DR.. David Allyn
Gorton of Brooklyn notes the sentiment
of motherhood III the plant, though it
is less strongly marked than in animals.
Many Towering species, he observes,
take special care of the seed in budding
time, in protecting it against rain and
frost, by wrapping their petals around
it or inclosing il by the lips Of their
corollas. This precaution is taken by
many plants at night To protect the
young and tender bud from the dew.
The impatiens noli-me-tangere hides
even its flowers under it's leaves by
night. Many plants inclose their young
in horny cases. and these again in thorny
burs to preserve them against rapacious
birds and insects, and TO assure their
coming TO maturity. Most ingenious of
all are some of the aquatic plants to Sc
cure the same end. Take. for example,
the alga species, the water lily, the
crowfoot, the water nut, ETC., which
send their flowers to the surface Of the
water for fertilization, and when it is
accomplished draw them to the bottom
again.
This student Of psychology in the
plant world discovers equal significance
in certain phenomena among many diff
ferent species in respect to light, MOTTO
ing with other illustrations the behavior
Of the sunfiower, (which will almost
break its neck in its eagerness for the
sunshine, and the common grapevine,
which will invariably Irvine toward the
light.
Wonderful again is the unfailing GER
tainty with which plants select their
food. They choose only that which is
good for them, even when environed by
poisonous substances in solution. Their
instinct of the whereabouts Of water is
unerring. "In one of my excursions to
the country one dry season, says DIR.
Gorton, II observed certain elm
which, in search for water, had sent
numberless rootlets several rods away to
a ditch where there was running water.
When l saw that it had not sent rootlets
| in any other direction for this purpose,
I could not but wonder how that tree,
consisting to the outward sight of cellu-
lose, sap and. chlorophyl only, without

Folly.

The usual title given sin in the book
Of Proverbs is folly. 1t is such because
it is contrary to Gods order and law in
the universe. Iniquity is never so thor
oughly ruined as by its own success.
Gods power is all for Righteousness, and
He has made all things on this plan.
Iniquity is madness and folly, for il can
not succeed. Sin is violation Of law, and
law in Gods world cannot be over
thrown. Penalty may be long deferred,
but is certain TO fall at last. Sin seeks
pleasure and finds pain. 1t defeats itself
a prosperous iniquity is the most I'M
profitable condition in the world. 1.-THE
way of the transgressor is hard. 1t
cannot be otherwise. Sin is folly be-
cause it is doomed to failure. Holiness
is happiness and wisdom because it is
obedient to the law Of things which is
the law Of God. 1t results in true and
permanent pleasure and prosperity.

James and John are three names often
associated. In all likelihood John is
the one with Andrew when he seeks
Jesus. James does not appear till the
party goes 10 Galilee, and in the walk
by the lake side Jesus finds him engaged
with John and his father Zebedee in
their usual occupation of fishing. Peter
was also fisherman living in the same
town of Bethsaida, ON the northern
shore of the lake Philip and Nathaniel
are first met in the Jordan journey.
Matthew is found in Capernaum at his
collectors stall, where the taxes are
paid, for he was a publican, or taxgath-
ercr The other apostles do not seem TO
have belonged TO the lake group, as it
may be called, but were selected after
ward when Jesus entered upon His
formal ministry.
