Jesus Loved Nature.

The careworn are so moody and gloon y
that they have no eye for the wild flowers,
and no ear for the song Of birds or Tor the
music OF ripping brooks or autumn winds.
But Jesus had an eye and ear for all sights
und sounds Of nature. Il say unto you that
even Solomon in all his glory was not ar
rayed like one OF thesr." Inquire not curl
ously OF what flower He spoke. as II 1t must
needs have been some exceptionally lovely
Hover OF gorgeous hue that called forth
such an encomum. Jesus. 1 believe, would
have said the same thing about the simplest
wild flower that grows in the mea low or by
the wayside-the snowdrop, the primrose or
the daisy. "A. b. Bruce.

For you are II part OF Gods great plan.'"
She knew no more than the twinkling star,
Or the cloud with its rain cup full,
How, why, or for what all strange things

She was only child at school:
But she thought, ''ris q part of Gods great
That even should do all that cam
So she helped another child along
When the way was rough to his feet,
And she sung from her heart a little song
That we all thought wondrous sweet;
And her father-a weary, toil-worn man
Said, II, too, will do the best that can"

A Mothers PRAYER.

Blessed Lord, thou are infinite in love and
tenderness and dost comfort us even rs Il
mother comforteth. Thou dost long and wait
with patience day by day for the unfolding
of thine own nature within us. Thou dost
rejoice in every sign of victory over the
lower and ever approaching toward the
higher. And SO thou art by our side con-
tinually, our divine inspirer and never fail
ing friend We pray thou wilt make this
love OF thine more real to US. Help
us who are mothers to realize that we
are the children of king and that
thou dost include in thy dear family the
children's children that the yearning of our
hearts for them is but the echo Of thine
own. and that nothing which touches their
welfare is unnotced by thy watchtul eye
We rejoice, o Lord, that thine ear is always
open to our prayers for our dear children.
o bless them this new day! They have not
passed this way heretofore. We commend
them in faith to thee. May they be respon-
sive to thy leading in right and pure ways.
And when the evening shades gather about
us and the curtains OF night are drawn,
may we all with unsoiled feet come around
the family altar with songs OF praise and
thanksgiving to thee. our Father, who hast
blessed us with all spiritual blessings in
Christ Jesus. in whose name we pray.
Amen.

TREES THREE INCHES HIGH.
Two Curious Forest Growths From tho
Arctic Regions.

The most interesting feature of the
forestry and herbaceous collection of
Cornell University is one recently
added, consisting of specimens of per-
feet forest trees less than three inches
high. They were brought to the uni
versity from the arctic regions by q
party of explorers sent ont by the in
stitution itself. The most noticeable
features of the collection are the arctic
birch and the crowberry.
Nowhere in this country, 80 far as
known, does museum contain perfect
specimens of the birch. This curious
growth is occasionally to be found on
the top of Mount Washington, but no
one has ever before been able to Sc
cure one 'of these tiny trees in abso-
lutely perfect condition. The speci-
mems which Cornell has were found on
the Greenland coast, some at God
haven, on the Isle of Diske. Others
were discovered at Wilcox Head,
where the exploring party that Sc
cured specimens did most of its work.
A curious difference between this lili-
putian birch and the ordinary forest
tree of the same species is that the arc
tic specimen bears fruit. The trees on
the Island of Diske were covered with
fruit when the explorers found them
What is more, this fruit is decidedly
edible. 1t has taste not unlike the
juniper berry and is said to be exceed
ingly alth-giving.
Ever SO many persons have read Of
this little birch tree under the scicn-
titic name of betula mana, without hav-
ing any idea of what the name really
signifed. Translated, it means white
birch, and those who have read of the
struggle Of DR.. Elisha Kent Kane and
his companions in the Arctic regions a
half century ago will remember what
an important part the betula mana took
in sustaining the life of the members
of the expedition The berries which
grow upon the birch seem to have all
the concomtants of food and drink,
and upon them a person may exist for
long time without materially losing
strength.
The second notable specimen is
known as the crowberry, or as the
scientist terms it, the emporium
nigrum. While this tree is in meas
ure cosmopolitan plant, although
classed as an Arctic growth, the same
difficulty has been experienced in Sc.
curing perfect specimens as in the case
OF the birch The crowberry grows in
this country on Mount Desert, in
Maine, and is occasionally found at the
highest points of the Sierra Nevada
range of mountains. Like the birch,
it bears an edible berry and it is no ex-
aggeration to state that it is one of the
principal sources of succulent food in
the region where it grows.

The American Agriculturist says: A
new opening for young men will be
created if the domestic sugar industry
develops as it now seems likely. One
great obstacle to this development is
the scarcity Of sugar factory experts.
Fortunately, however, there is in this
country school magniiicently
equipped with men and apparatus to
educate young men as sugar experts.
1t is already evident that the sugar
school of Louisiana State University
at Baton Rouge will be well filed the
coming fall.

ArInlng Cavalry With Lnnces.

Some years ago, writes Harold
Frederic, 1 reported the conclusions
reached by party of English experts
who went to Germany to study the
question of arming cavalry with the
lance, which had just been done there,
and who urged the adoption of the
plan here. A tentative step in that
direction has now been taken by chang
ing the Twenty first Hussars into Ian
GERS. 1t is understood that number
of similar changes are to follow shortly.
The weapon used is of tubular steel,
ten feet long, and I found among
friends in the Rhcnish Cuirassiers last
winter that, though the men ut first
loathed it, they now think very we'll of
it. Officers believe they will charge
in battle with much more confidence,
as well as execution, than in the old
days of the sabre.-New York Times.

listening dreamily to their conversation,
which reached her in snatches through
the open door separating them from
the music room, she was attracted by
the sound of one voice familiar to her
ear. Cecil Warrington was speaking
of the duty he thought every man
owed his fellow-man, every owner Of
property, the laborer who ploughed
his fields. His young enthusiasm, all
honest and sincere, spoke in earnest,
glowing terms, and turning, Mamie
could see his face radiant with high
purpose, when, like lightning flash,
came the thought, "Must one to be
hero go forth in search of some heroic
work? Does not life with its everyday
needs demand a greater, truer hero
ism, although no bard may ever sing
its praises, nor may it be recorded on
any page save that written in the
great book which one day shall lie
open to all eyes?" Had she not
spurned the one great gift offered her,
leaving her life bare and desolate?
Unconsciously her hand wandered over
the keys and her sweet voice spoke
out in the lines ending:
"The sunshine OF my life Is in her eyes,
And when they leave me all within is dark"
"Whose eyes, Nannie?" questioned
a voice beside her. and she knows
Cecil has left the table and effected n
noiseless entrance. Darling, my life
has been all darkness since you took
from it the sunshine of the hope which
was its glory. Imust 60 away; I
cannot stay here longer to see you,
and feel you never, never will be mine.
When you sing that song again, Nan
ME, you will know why 1 left you;
but" he stops suddenly, for the
girls head has fallen with discordant
crash upon the keys, and one bitter
sob his quick ear catches. Mamie,
he questions, bending low over the
fair head, with its shining hair, "can
it be that you would care, that my 60
ing would cost you single pang? The
decision rests in your hands, my own.
Is it go or stay?"
And with glad burst of thanks
giving at the heart which has freed it.

One of the most impressive and Pc

a traveller in Japan is that of the wood.
en- sandals worn by 35, 900, 900 people.
These sandals have n separate com.
partment for the great toe and make n
clinking noise on the street. Straw
slippers are also worn, and traveller
starting out on journey will strap n
supply Of them on his back, that he
may put on new pair when the old is
worn out. They cost but cent and o
half pair They are rights and lefts
and leave the foot free to the air. We
never see these deformities of the foot
in Japan which are 80 frequent in this
country. They are never worn in the
house, but left outside the door.
Passing down street you may see
long rows of them at the door, old and
new, large and small.
