bIust See Christ Unveiled.

We must set Christ before US and live be-
fore Him with unveiled face. "We all with
unveiled face rejecting as mirror" Throw

but the mirror gives no sign. And this ID
why, in q dispensGtion like ours, the
Christian dispensation, with everything
contrived to reflect Christ, to exhibit
Christ, we so little see him. How is it that
two men can sit at a communion table to-
gether, and the one be lifted to the seventh
heaven and see the King in His beauty, while
the other only envies his neighbor his vision?
Why Is IL that in the same household two
persons will pass through tdentically the
same domestic circumstances. the same
events, from year to year, and the
one see Christ everywhere. while
the other grows sullen, sour, indiffer-
ent? Why is it? Because the one wears
veil that prevents him from seeing Christ;
the other lives with unveiled face. How was
it that the Psalmist. in the changes OF the
season even, in the mountain. In the sea, In
everything that he had to do, found Godf
How was it that he knew that even
though he made his bed in hell he
would find God. Because he had
an unveiled face he was prepared to find
God. How Is 1t that many OF US can come
into church and be much more taken up
with the presence OF some friend than with
the presence of Christ? The same reason
still we wear veil; we do not come with
unveiled faces prepared to see Him.-Mar-

American Products In England.

United States Consul Lathrop, at
Bristol, in o report to the State De-
partment, gives some information con-
cerning United States products in
England. He says the United States,
Canada and Denmark supply Eng
land with bacon. The United States

ing, in 1896, 2,751,51S hundred
weights of 112 pounds. During the
first six months of 1897 there w.s a
large increase IN the shipments from
this country, amounting to 1,s30,1
hundred weights. The report notes
that there is scarcity of pigs in Eng
land and in Denmark, and says the
United States and Canada are expect
ed to keep up the increased ship
ments.
Leather is a product which has
made an appreciable advance in Eng
land. The colored feathers of Chi
cago and Milwaukee have been more
largely sold. The goat and sheep
leather from Philadelphia and Penn
sylvania districts have also found an
enlarged market, almost entirely at
the expense of the German and French
manufacturers. There has also been

Help US to rise to the thought OF all that thou

glory and delight, and may our thoughts Of
thee hereafter be enriched by the remem-
brance of thy purpose. We take this for the

While our hearts are bowed within US at the
wonder Of thy condescension, the glory OF

Fulfill in US thy purpose by all needful sor-

to be crowned by the desire Of thy great
love and the glory Of the eternal life with
thee. And for this hope and the comfort OF

Fired on Game Warden Wilcox and .
Fight Followed.
Game Warden Wilcox tried to arrest
some Utes on Snake River, five miles from
Lily Park in Colorado. They resisted and
fire on the Wilcox party. .....
Lily Park has been the scene Of most Of
the game depredations OF the Utes ever
since the cute war" Of ten years ago.
The trouble commenced when the White
River, Uncompahgre, Uintah Utes began
pouring over the line from Utah on theiI 1
annual fall hunt. The White River Utes
are exceptionally ugly, and have been ap-
parently anxious to pick trouble with par
ties OF whites.
Game Warden Wilcox with small party
started out to warn the Indians that the
game laws must be observed. The Game
Warden was resisted and finally fired upon
by the Indians. Then serious encounter
followed, In which number OF Indians
were killed or wounded. Game Warden
Wilco1's party also suffered severely.

TWO OF THE 8 8
OUEEREST CRAFT q
EVER CONSTRUCTED. e e
100000 gDEDgDgDgDgDgDg

A few weeks ago there was launched
from the yards of the Columbian Iron
Works, of Baltimore, the Argonaut, a
queer looking submarine craft, which
goes on wheels like wagon.
This vessel, which is the invention
of Baltimorean, Simon Lake, is, as
far as intentions and appearance are
concerned, unique. It is intended for
commercial work, including the ex-
ploration of the bottom of rivers,
lakes, bays and even seas, for treasure
seeking and other purposes OF kin
dred character.
The vessel presents curious ap-
pearance. The cigar-shaped hull has
two big iron wheels attached to linear
the bow. These wheels are about as
large as an ordinary cartwheel, and
are of solid metal. The edges of the
wheels are corrugated and cogged like
those of cogwheel. A smaller wheel
of similar character is attached to
the boat at the stern. The wheels are
intended to enable the vessel to run
along over the bottoms of rivers and
other bodies of water, the propeller OF
the vessel supplying the necessary mo-
tive power. The boat will be so ar
ranged that the divers can come in and
go out of the vessel while she is on
The bottoms of rivers.
The Argonaut, says the New York
Journal, is thirty-six feet long and
nine feet in diameter, built of steel and
strongly ribbed, to resist the water
pressure. She is propelled along the
bottom by an electric motor taking
current from powerful storage bat
terry.
"A strong electric searchlight is To-
Gated in the bow, capable of lighting
up pathway in front of the craft as
she moves along the bed of the ocean.

The Defects of Our Friends.

Most OF our friends do not come up to our
ideas OF physical perfection. When you
come to look critically at the face OF your
wife or your sister you do not find 1t diff
cult to suggest some trifing Improvements,
and the man to whom your soul cleayes In
loyal friendship Is short, dumpy fellow,
who never could by any possibility be mis-.
taken for an Apollo. But you realize per-
fectly that your wifes retrousse nose can.
not 1be changed or your dumpy friend
be elongated that you are quite con-
tent to take them as they are.
Indeed, their very imperfections commend
themselves to you, and you would not have
Mary or John different than they are If you
could make them over. But strangely
enough, this Indifference to physical defects
is often associated in our minds with q
strange intolerance OF imperfections OF mind
or disposition. Your friend takes narrow
views and shows no interest in what
lies beyond a limited range. Your
wife has certain popularity OF
temper that sometimes puts her out Of an
angelic mood. Why should you not look at
these variations in the same light az physi.
cal imperfections 1t will be quite as diff.
cult to change them. You remember the
story of the man who set about forming his
wife's mind. with all thy faults love thee

a days pursuit of game shod with
something more durable than what
nature provided. Heretofore it has
been almost impossible to hunt with
the same dogs more than two conse-
cutive days. Their feet would become
too sore.
The way Colonel Coffin overcame
this difficulty was to fit his dogs with
canvas shoes that covered the feet
closely and we're tied snugly at the
ankles. Great difficulty was found in
teaching the dogs to wear the shoes
and hunt. Now all old huntsmen in
Nebraska equip their hunters with
these canvas shoes.
