away as BADLY as consumptives.

Pussy's Dinner Flew Away.

The Fort Worth (Texas) correspon.
dent of the Philadelphia Times writes:
We had some pretty cold weather in
this part of the world last week, and
one of the best blizzard stories turned
loose by the low temperature is that
in which cat and a lot of English
sparrows played conspicuous parts.
The cat, Chico, big, brindle fel.
low, belongs to F. Y. Elliott, of this
county, who is himself authority for
the story.
Elliott says that on Monday morning
of last week, when the snow was al
ready pretty thick and still falling,
Chico came into the kitchen looking
mighty we'll fed, and bringing an ap-
parentIy dead sparrow in his mouth.
The cat had evidently made pretty
meal, but had an eye to future con-
tingencies, so he deposited the bird in
an overturned basket in the corner
and went out. Presently he came in
again with another bird, deposited it
in the basket and went out, to reap
pear still again. loaded as before. In
fact, these trips kept up till ten or
dozen sparrows had been placed in the
basket, and then Chico curled up
under the stove to take snooze.
The kitchen is pretty comfortable
one and by-and-by things began to get
kind of lively in the basket, as the
heat got in its little work of restoring
to life the half-frozen birds. First one
then another of tho sparrows turned
heels under, stretched his stiffened
legs, spread his wings and came to.
Presently the whole catch were up and
out, futtering about the room, perch
ing on the shelves, helping themselves
to crumbs and feeling quite at home
generally. Indeed, they waxed gay,
and set up such chirping that they
awakened Chico from mis- snooze. and
when the big fellow arched his back,
stretched himself and made for the
basket, thinking to refresh the inner
cat with toothsome sparrow, such
look of astonishment depicted itself
on his features as was never seen. But
the birds were by no means slow to
take in the situation.
At Chico's first move they began to
make themselves scarce, and before
he recovered from his astonishment
the last one had flown, trusting rather
the ills they knew not than a catas-
trophe they wot of. But if ever a cat
was fooled, Chico was. He stayed by
the basket all day, and refused to be
comforted because the birds were not
there. No doubt the next time he
finds good thing he'll hold on to it,
and let the "rainy day" look out for
itself.

THE DAYS OF D1scouRAeEMENT.

It often seems as if there were sense in
which it might be said that nothing so tend
ed to keep God out Of our lives as work for
God done in q wrong and superficial spirit
.. The Scripture reader, the Sunday school
teacher, the evangelist. the minister, the
working laymen-all OF them. am sure,
have felt how religious work tries to push
out religious thought and to kill the souls

turned into duty, tends to become like air
turned into wind. :. . The more earnestly
you are at work for Jesus, the more you
need times when what you are doing for
Him passes totally out OF your mind and

be what He is doing for you. That is the

ment and self-contempt which come to all Of

A PRAYER FOR HUMILITY.

Dear Father. here am, where thou hast
placed me. Thou dost know the plans for
me which are in thy mind. Teach me, that
may know them. Give me grace that I
may accomplish them. Make me strong,
that may fill them as thou dost will. In
spirit me, o Holy Spirit, that I may embody
thine own self. Mold me, o Creator Of us
all, that may take on Immortality in the
likeness of Jesus Christ. Lead me, Saviour
Of life, that these days on earth may be es-
tablished in truest service and faithful min
istry. And the plans Of the hour that fol-
low out will then be thine, so that all the re-
suits, about which we thy followers are
often anxious, will be thine also. My growth
and transformation lead us into rest and
peace, that all our inner state and all the
works of our hands may be made holy. We
pray to thee because Christ Jesus opened up
the way. Amen.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The way to get better position is

1t takes higher degree of courage

The man who rides hobby thinks
nobody else is making any headway.
The man who knows himself we'll

To sneer at religion is to make it
that much harder for somebody to be
good.

in declaring that linnet could not

A RECEPTIVE PERIOD.

After special prayer and evangelistie effort
it is important that the church should have
q welcome ready for all comers. The cor
diality of individuals needs to be indorsed
by the sympathy of the church. At such q
time the prejudices of men are softened,
and they are prepared to respond to invita-
tions which they would previously have
dismissed without consideration. Some OF
Them have drifted away from early habits
Of church attendance, others have had at
least their curiosity aroused, and some are
feeling their way toward faith without hav-
ing had the courage to enter an inquiry
meeting or to open their hearts to Chris
tian minister or friend. The social atmos-
phere of the church ought always to, be
genial, but never more so than when the
Community has been stirred by calls to faith
and obedience, and the stranger in our gates
may be only waiting for an invitation to
become one with US In faith and service.
And to this genial atmosphere individuals
must contribute each their share, or the
geniality Of the whole will suffer.

PREHISTORIC STAMPEDE.
Fossils Show Death by Droves In the
Schuylkill Valley.

Schuylkill Valley.
Fossil bones that shed much light on the
character of the strange animals which
roamed this continent in the pleistocene age,
or period Immediately preceding the present,
have been taken to the Academy OF Sciences,
Philadelphia. from Port Kennedy, Mont
gomery County. Penn. and will be objects
OF study by the learned men OF tho lnstltu-
ton for months to come. Brittle fragments
they are, incased in plaster of paris to keep
them from crumblinS to pieces. but they fur
nish sufficient foundation for the scientists
to build up an accurate idea OF beasts long
since extinct.
In extent the fossil deposit seems almost
unlimited, and while it contains no COM
plete skeletons, it is in many respects the
richest ever discovered. Bones form fully
one-thlrd of the material IN the giant tissure,
but q large proportion OF them are so
crushed and distorted as to be OF no value.
Probably forty distinct varieties OF animals
are to be tr tcei in the mass, and the Strang-
est part of it all Is that those with entirely
unsympathetic characteristics are found
closely associated with one another. Great
mastodons and tiny moles lie side by sldes
and the fiercest carnivorous beasts are
mingled with gentle llamas and deer. !
The supposttion is that countless years
ago some great disturbance stampeded the
animals of tho region, and they rushed down
the Schuylkill Valley. Coming to the yawn-
ing chasm, the foremost we're pushed In by
those behind, and they piled up on top OF
one another until the rift in the ROCKS
was filled eth bones. Al some later period
the breaking up OF the glacier created havoc
in the valley, forcing down clay. stones and
sand upon the skeletons and crushing them
by the great weight. Among the most
priced of the bones which MIR. Mercer has
unenrthed are those of the saber-toothed
tiger and cave bear. " J

held in the decree that a person riding

it is occupied by many other persons
going in the same direction, is liable

that he was unable to see and avoid it

CHAPTER XIV.

THE wANDERER AGAIN WEIGHS ANCHOR
Captain Fox believed that he had
Colonel Graham wholly in his power,
and he bled him accordingly. In addi-
ton to the large sums the Colonel had
already paid to his tool, he now gave
him more, not so much, Fox thought,
for gratitude as to insure his silence
about the crimes on Long Island, Ber-
muda, and Long Island, New York.
Fox would not have been quite SO
comfortable with his aristocratic guest
could he have known the truth.
Before leaving New York, Graham
had arranged with one OF his tools to
notify the governor at certain date
that Captain Kidd would be about that
time off the eastern end Of Long Island;
and this tool did his work we'll.
The governors object in sending for
Captain Denham was to put him on
Fox's track; but as there were no other
ships in the harbor suited to this work,
and Ralph Denham neither reported in
person nor by letter, the authorities
were perplexed, and the young captain
was in disgrace.
After Graham felt assured that Ralph
Denham was out Of the way, he would
municated to Mr.. Hedges, without dan
ger to himself, that the Wanderer was
commanded by Captain Kidd.
Graham loathed ana dreaded the man
whom he had used so many years 10
further his own designs; and now as
Fox told of his plans for the future, the
Colone! was amazed at the mans au-
darity anC ingenuity.
It was arranged that by daybreak Of
the morning that Ralph Denham and his
men went on board the Wanderer. thai
Colonel Graham and his servant should
90 ashore to the i'm, and make imme-
date prepa1 atlons for returning to New
York.
Othello, or some other servant equally
ekillrul, was as essential to Graham
comfort as his clothing and his meals
But when daylight came, and Othello
did not report at his masters door, as
was his habit, that choleric gentleman
was highly indignant.
In obedience to the Colonels request,
a search of the ship was male for
Othello, but he failed to reveal himself.
One OF the most active OF the searchers,
and the only one who could have thrown
any light on the matt L, was the shrewd
Scotch boy, Don; and he die not think
1t to his interest to tell that he had seen
Othello vanishing through an open port
the night before, and swimming in the
direction of the Sea Hawk.
Depend upon it, that old nag, Dinah,
has seduced the boy off" said Fox.

LOVE soFTENs THE LIGHT.

The landscape is very much affected by
the glass through which you regard it. II
that glass Is yellow everything looks yellow.
II it is blue, everything looks blue. If it is
sombre. everything looks sombre. Now,
the man who is living life of love looks out
upon his life through the love Of God. and
the love of God has such mysterious prop
erty in it that it takes away from terrible
things their terror, from dreadful things
their dread, and from the malignity Of man
his spite and the soul looks with calm
serenity upon all the circumstances of life,
and finds itself hushed and calm.-Rev. F.B.
