The Crater of KiIauea.

You step out on the crust of the rolling
sea of rounded and hardened lava pillows
beside your path, and the surface crackles
under your feet like the snow crust on a
crisp winter morning. Its glittering, iri-
descent colors please the eye and tempt you
TO carry away veritable load of the spar
king CLASSY pieces. Here and there, even
at distance from the edge, the fern
spores have taken root and relieve the eye
with their graceful waving fronds-and
this on soil like glass and formed no one
knows how long ago, though its surface
appears as fresh as if laid down yesterday.
On you go, punching the crust in front
of you vigorously with staff to determine
whether 1T Is safe or not, until finally, aft
er about goo yards of such material has
been crossed, you reach the rounded edge
of the caldron itself, perhaps after some
slight scares and probably getting your
staff on fire once or twice
Here you pause for n moment TO pick
out way up the side, which varies in
height from 10 to 30 feet, and is composed
of masses of Stag of all sizes, joined to-
gether by lava which has forced its way
out between the blocks. Here and there
you notice that through some of the larger
openings the white hot fluid is running
out upon the fOor and often in quantities
which would make an ordinary blast fur
mace blush with shame Here you can
study on small scale all the phenomena
of lava 1ow-the formation of the crust,
the assures and many other phenomena.
AT length you pass, by few steps, to the
rim, and there before you is the sea of lava
in all its terrible brilliancy. -Harperg

Some of the Reasons why 1t Is Treated

The question is asked by An English

Then, fer almost centuries at time, in

DEER MICE AS PETS.
They Were Delighted with a Home In .
Cocoanut Shell.

In ST. Nicholas G.. Rafael O'Reilly tells
of a couple of queer pets that he caught in
the woods. The writer says:
| While rambling one evening i'm the
woods l sat down on a rock close by IA
shaded bank all overgrown with soft green
moss and feathery ferns. Not far away
there was an ancient tree stump, with a
hole running in underneath ii, and what
should i see peeping out from the hole, but
| the head of little reddish brown animal.
| AT first sight took il TO be chipmunk.
Its large, black eyes seemed full of appre-
hensiOn, and as moved il drew back out
of sight.
On rolling oye. 5he stump, discovered
beneath il some withered grass carefully
rolled into a globular nest. Cautiously
drawing my handkerchief around this,
tied il up, with whatever IL contained, and
hurried homeward with my treasure On
emptying the handkerchief into box COW
cred with wire gauze, l found that l had
captured two beautifully delicate and ele-
giant creatures, somewhat larger than
mice Their fur was thick and soft, a
rich velvet of reddish brown on the back
and snowy white beneath. Their feet also
were white. But their chief beauty lay in
their eyes-great, black, liquid orbs half
protruding from the head. No gaZelle
ever had eyes half so lovely.
They soon became quite tame, and with
out showing any fear would allow me TO
put my hand into their cage to give them
fruits and berries. They carried their nest
into corner of the cage and reconstructed
it there
After about two weeks / procured a
large cocoanut, sawed it in two, and TAX
ing one-half of it, made in it little door
way. When 1 put this into their cage,
turned mouth down, they seemed to go
wild with the excitement of delight. In
and out they ran through the little door
way a hundred times in succession Some
times they would jump up on top of the
cocoanut and survey it all over, and then,
after washing their faces" with their del
icate white paws, jump down and again
run inside. Soon they made up their minds
to take possession of it as their home.
Their nest in the corner they pulled to
pieces and carried it off mouthful by
mouthful into the little cocoanut hut
There they have lived ever since.
During the daytime they sleep, but
when evening comes on they busy them
selves running and jumping about the
cage, and they have never once in three
years tried TO gnaw their way out.

Nervous Children.

Nervous children will not bear W..
much cold bathing They have not got
heat enough in their bodies to react
against it, Do not demand too much ex-
ercise from them.
Do not let them study too much or go
to school too early. OF course their minds
must be pleasantly employed and the
kindergarten may be available after they
are years old. Cultivate in them a love
of nature and outdoor life, especially in
pleasant weather. This is the true, grand
kindergarten. Do not forget they need
companionship.
Give them a good, comfortable bed
where the air is pure, and do all you can
TO promote healthful sleep. A little easily
digested food before bedtime often helps
them to sleep more soundly than they 9TH
erwise would.

IN A PINE WOOD.

The waves are breaking ON some faron strand,
And as the fresh wind sweeps across the land
1t bears sea melodies 10 this s;iil grove.
This squirrel haunted spot, whore .hc wild dove
Mourns undisturbed amid the solemn pines,
While high above the breaches bend aud sway,
Battling the breeze. Beneath in serried lines
The stately stems stand in unmoved array,
And soft green tronds at intervals show clear
Their vivid tints against the somber bed
OF scented pine points strewn there year by
year.
Then, sudden as IL came, high overhead
Past whirls the wind, and down The purpling
glades
Nights silence settles as the daylight fades

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Lesson For the Week Beginning Nov. =.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates, A. nj.
Topic. The Church-Its Unity
of Life and Hope.

SCRIPTURE READING.-Eph. iv. 40
Men associate themselves and form
companies with great many different
objects in view, but every organization
is formed with the hope OF securing
some special thing The hope which is
the bond of union in the Christian
church is TO obtain eternal life and hap
piness.
No other religion presents the view
of future existence which is held by the
church of Jesus Christ. The belief in
some form of existence after death is
held by the great mass of men. Most
believe that ones future largely de-
ponds on his conduct in this present
life, but no other religion presents a
basis for firm belief founded on the
actual resurrection of one who has been
dead. Christianity stands alone in the
hope it inspires and in the life it de-
mands.
AS Christ rose from the dead, so shall
His followers arise AS He was pure in
all men, so must those be who would
follow Him. One ruling purpose He
had in life-to please God, the Father.
The aim of all followers Of Christ must
be the same.
When this spirit Of holy devotion
takes possession of the souls of men, it
constitutes bond of union in this pres
ent world which is more powerful and
enduring than any other which can be
imagined.
All men who have this spirit of pure
devotion to God and hope of eternal life
in and with Him are drawn together in
unity which is independent of race and
lines of national distinction. 1t breaks
down all barriers of social custom and
prejudices of education. 1t levels dis
tinctions of age and culture, of wealth
and pride, and while laying no stress
on the forms and ceremonies of fellow
ship, binds i'll heart union and oneness
of purpose and expectation those of most
distant lands and most diverse circum-
stances and conditions.
Holy living and hope Of heaven are
the cords which unite Christians to each
other and to their one Lord and Master
To be good, TO do good and get good is
their aim i'll life and expectation in
death.
The strength Of attachment lies less
in opinions held in common, not so
much in vows taken or creeds subscribed
to, as in an inner spirit of life devotion,
sentiment of affection, an attraction
and attachment of soul which cannot be
expressed in words and can only be dim
ly symbolized in outward forms and
ceremonies.
In the faith of our Lord and God, in
the baptismal dedication to His service
in life and hope in His promises of eter-
nal bliss after death, lies the unity of
the Christian church as presented in
the writings of Paul the apostle of Je-
sus Christ, and as it should bo actually
constituted in the world.

Admiration and Imitation,

Many mistake an admiration of good
ness for the possession of virtue. 1t is
much easier to admire heroism than to
be heroic. The like is true of every ex-
cellent quality. No one will be apt to
attain to any excellency unless he has
sincere admiration for that particular
quality of character, but if he does not
follow his appreciation by an earnest
striving after and exercise of the power
he will never possess it in any eminent
degree. Multitudes are enthusiastic over
John Wesley and his work His deep
heart piety is recognized as the prime es-
sential for Christian usefulness and hap
piness. How many, however, stop short
OF an imitation Of his virtues and find
it easier to merely admire his holy liv.
ing than to live holly themselves! Our
present need is not less admiration of
goodness, but more imitation of the &C.
lions OF those who have been good; not
mere copying of their actions, but a
genuine likeness to them in deed and
thought and purpose. Emulation is bet
ter than imitation, and to this should be
the goal of all admiration.

Arbitration Sill a Live Question.

Chicago Chimes Hdald" tlndl
No one who heard Mr.. McKinley's al
lusions to the subject of arbitration in the
course of his inaugural address, knowing
the steadiness of the Presidents purpose
when his mind is made up, could believe
that one defeat in the Senate would end
the negotiations between this country and
England. The information now comes
direct that another arbitration treaty is
preparing and that when completed and
accepted by the British Government it
will be presented to Congress at the regu-
lar session. We may hope that the Sena-
tors will have gained in wisdom sufficiently
by that time to pass the treaty. Their
recent action was in defiance of popular
sentiment expressed by every known agen-
cy. But whether this Senate bows to the
inevitable or in sheer malice again delays
the ratification of the treaty, it is safe to
predict that Mr.. Mckinley will not aban-
don his intention of creating permanent
peace between the United States and
England while he occupies the Presiden-
tial chair

Take coal tar two parts and coal oil

with a small amount of carbolic acid.
Apply with cloth by moistening the
hair and horns of the animal with the

days or more in dry weather. Apply as
often as necessary, and your cows will

Any kind of old lard or grease can be
