largely formed of phosphorus, which
not only causes it to ignite easily, but
also accounts for the strength of the
flame and the heat developed. The sub
stance of the fish, largely fat, retards
the rapid burning, as the tallow acts
in an ordinary candle. The fish is also
valuable as food. Still another use to
which it may be put is as a substitute
for cod liver oil. which, aiding the nat
ural heat of the body, serves to protect
against the severe cold. 1t is to be
hoped that scientists will discover a
way by which the skin of this fish may
be made into clothing and its backbone
sharpened into miners picks.-Phila-

The Candle Fish of Alaska.

With the discovery of the Klondike,
with all its INTERPRETATIONS, comes also
the practical discovery of fish found
along the Alaskan shores which it is
said will furnish food, light, heat and
medicine to the prospectors who have
gone into the new Ell Dorado. This
fish is of the smelt variety, but larger
and fatter. They are caught in nets
easily and on being caught are found
to be of rich green color on the back
variegated with blue and with golden
reflections ON the belly. On being held
up to the light they are almost trans
parent. On being caught these fish are
dried and stored. When the Alaskan is
showed in and without lighthe simply
inserts the tail of one of these fish in q
crack in the table and touches match
to it's nose. 1t gives out a clear three
candle power light. The backbone is

But of Varied Tenor, Selected By the Ed

Many Minds.

There is no unbelief,
Whoever plants q seed beneath the sod,
And waits to see it push away the clod,
He trusts in God,
Whoever says, when clouds are in the

"Be patient, heart, light breaketh by

Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees meath winters field Of
snow
The silent harvest OF the future grow,
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to
sleep.
Content to lock each sense in slumber
deep.
Knows God will keep.
Whoever says Tomorrow" the I'm

eThe future" trusts the Power alone
He dares disown,
The heart that looks on when eyelids
close,
And dares to live when life has only
woes.
Gods comfort knows.

The heart lives by faith the lips

SATURDAY SERMONS.

God furnishes the material,
but man is responsible for the
character he builds.
We grow in grace just in pro-
portion as we cultivate and water
the seed of grace that has been
planted in our hearts.
In successful culture the weeds
must be dertroyed that the plant
may have nourishment. SO in
cultivation OF grace-the weeds
of sin must be rooted out.
In every good work man has a
part to perform, and that part
is just as essential according to
Gods plan Of work as the part
he has reserved for himself.>
No man or woman ever became
great by accident.
Some people mistake notoriety
for greatness.
There never was a Christian
without an earnest effort to please
God.
Many mistake the form of
worship for Christianity.
It is an impossibility for a
person who seeks the companion
ship of the low and degraded to
love the pure and good as it is to
bleach linen with muddy water.
Like the sculptor who takes
the rough stone and brings
from it form and shapeliness,
SO we take our souls an undevel-
oped quantity from tie hand of
God and shape them into a like
ness either good or bad.
Making character is the gran
dest work of man.
