ADVENT.

Tonight heard the children
Going on their homeward way,
Singing, Carol, Carol. Christmas ~
\ song for Christmas day.
And sweet thoughts came like music
Just as listened then
Thoughts of the year going from me,
And Advent come again.
l thought that other voices
Were chanting il abroad
That other lips were singing
The coming of the Lord.

Ifail this crowd we meet
This winding, long procession
Down all the lighted street
l wonder if they hear it,
The song SO glad and free,
That makes this gloomy evening
So beautiful to me.
The dark night is tranSiigurcd.
And where the shadows GhI!
\ clearer light than sunlight
Is streaming over all.
Oh, Christmas, clasp thine arm0r,
Not yet the crown is won
There's so much wrong around Us,
And So much left undone.
We know the worlds great struggles
Are harder than we thought;
Our rulers and the people
Take counsel, but for nought
Why do men grope i'll darkness?
Why will they never see
That God would make them holy
Before He makes them free?

When will these sorrows cease p
Christ comes to heal the nations,
And give His children peace.
The leaves lie dead and dying;
Oh, Christmas, it may be,
Next Summers crown of green leaves
Is not for you and me.
The tender blush of spring time
Upon our graves may fall;
Next year we may not hear it
The solemn Advent call.
Learn we by prayer and watching
To count all gain as loss;
Learn we to suffer hardness
AS soldiers of the Cross.

And work while work we may;

Plant Growth In Alaska.

Alaska is a country of great agri-
cultural possibilities. The coast belt
and the lowlands of the Yukon region
are covered as soon as spring arrives
with luxuriant growth of grass and
flowers. Among the most valuable
grasses is the familiar Kentucky blue
grass, which grows as far north as
Kotzebue Sound, and another is the
blue-ioint grass, reaching four or tive
feet in height. These make most ex.
cellent forage. Barley has been tried
at Port Yukon in small patches, and
it has matured, though the straw was
short Rye and barley ought to sue
coed, inasmuch as those grains are
grown in very high latitudes in Europe.
The Island of Kadiak is in the same
latitude, with temperature and RAIN

which produces much barley and rye.

The Peacock at Home.

The real home of the peacock or
peafowl is in India. There they were
and are hunted, and their flesh is used
for food. As these birds live in the
same region as the tiger, peacock
hunting is very dangerous sport.
The long train of the peacock is not
it's tail as many suppose, but is COM
posed of feathers which grow out just
above the tail, and are called the tail
coverts. Peacocks have been known
for many hundred years. They are
mentioned in the Bible; Job men
toned them and they are mentioned
10 in / Kings, 10. Hundreds Of
years ago in Rome many thousand
peacocks were killed for the great
feasts which the emperors made. The
brains of the peacock were considered
great treat, and many had to bt

The Sultan's Heir.

The Sultan's heir is not his eldest
son. but his eldest brother. The old
est male succeeds. Such is the law
of Islam, and the fruitful source OF
dynastic murders is almost every
reign since the Turks became power.
The Sultan has four brothers; not one,

Sultan Murad ", who, being insane,

Waredin and the fourth SULLIVAN. The
Sultan's eldest son, Prince Selim, has
no earthly chance of succeeding his
father. He has too many uncles and
