and a sharp rock ON the other side."
Again, that man is in the crisis OF
the text who has a wasted life on the
one side and an unilluminated eternity
on the other Though man may all
his life have cultured elaboration and
self-poise, if he gets into that position
all his self-possession is gone. There
are all the wrong thoughts or his
existence, all the wrong deeds. all the
wrong words-strata above strata,
granite, ponderous, overshadowing.
That rock | call Bozez. On the other
side are all the retributions OF the fu-
ture, the thrones of judgment, the eter-
nal ages, angry with his long defiance.
That rock call Seneh. Between these
two rocks ten thousand times ten
thousand have persisted.
o man immortal, man redeemed,
man blood-bought, climb up out OF
those shadows. Climb up by the way
of the cross. Have your wasted life
forgiven; have your eternal life Sc
cured This hour just take one look
to the past, and see what 1t has been,
and take one look to the future, and
see what it threatens to be. You can
afford to lose your health, you can af-
ford to lose your property, you can al
ford to lose your reputation, but you
cannot afford to lose your soul. That

eternal possession you must carry aloft
in the day when the earth burns up
and the heavens burst.
You see from my subject that when
man gets into the safety and peace
of the gospel he does not demean him
self. There is nothing in religion that
leads to meanness or unmanliness.
The gospel of Jesus Christ only asks
you to climb as Jonathan did-climb
toward God, climb toward heaven.
climb into the sunshine of Gods favor.
To become a Christian is not to go
meanly down; it is to come gloriously
up-up into the communion of saints;
up into the peace that passeth all I'M
derstanding; up into the companion
ship of angels. He lives upward; he
dies upward.
Oh, then, accept the wholesale invi-
tation which 1 make this day to all
the peoplel Come up from between
your invalldism and financial embar-
easements. Come up from between
your bereavements and your destitu-
ton. Come up from between a wasted
life and an unillumined eternity. Like
Jonathan, climb up with all your might
instead of sitting down to wiring your
hands in the shadow and in the dark

To assert that women have had an
important influence on the progress of
science would certainly be exaggera-
ton; but to say that they have always
been wholly foreign to it would be
still more inexact. The female sex
have. in fact, been for many centuries
contributing to the extension OF the
field of scientific knowledge; and now
that they are beginning to take a more
prominent part in affairs of this cate
CORY. it seems a favorable time to re-
view some of their achievements and
10 notice some of the women whose
scientific accomplishments have been
most remarkable. We begin with a
Milanese mathematician of the eight
eenth century-Maria Agnesi, a woman
who was unique among the few who
have occupied themselves with the ex-
act sciences. Her precocious intelli-
gence and prodigious memory, which
permitted her to express herself cor
rectly in seven languages. and her
rare aptitude for one of the most ardu-
Gus branches of mathematics-the in

and Newton had only just indicated the
formulas-the saintIiness of her life.

In the Early Morning.

In the early morning as soon as you
awake to consciousness, remember that
you are in the very presence chamber
of God, who has been watching beside
you through the long, dark hours; look
up into His face and thank Him. Con-
secrate to Him those first few mo-
ments before you leave your couch.
Look on towards the coming day,
through the golden haze Of the light
that streams from the angel of His
presence. You can forecast very large
ly what your difficulties are likely 10
be, the quarters from which you may
be attacked, the burdens that may need
carrying. Take care not to view any
of these apart from God. Be sure that
he will be between you and them, as
the ship is between the traveller and
the ocean, be it fair or stormy.-ReY.

Tho Bee as a Dispatch Bearer.

An experiment has been made IN
England which has resulted in proving
that bees fly faster than carrier pig
cons, in fact, that little, insignificant
looking, hot-footed bee can beat the
handsomest pigeon home, in five cases
out of six. This being the case. the
future must witness the supplanting OF
carrier pigeons by carrier bees. The
latter have much to recommend them
for this purpose. A carrier bee Will
be hard to hit. A marksman that
would bring down pigeon would ut
terly fail to hit bee. Then there Is
nothing in a pigeons tail to inspire
the respect of foe. There is in
bees. The rude hand OF the triher
that would try to stop the carrier bee
in his errand would be withdrawn sud-
denly-and rubbed vehemently. With
the aid of Micro-photography, the car
rying of long messages by bee would
be a matter presenting no obstacles.
A column of reading matter could be
fastened to it's thighs, and a long dis
patch affixed to one of its feet.

that it may sing more sweetly. Let
me pass; I have no more to say"
With shiny eyes and pale, passionate
face she swept from the room, leaving
the earl overcome with establishment.
"She is the most high-minded wom-
an 1 have ever met in my life" he
thought. Il have been blind, indeed.
How superb she looked in her indigna-
ton! l will win her yet, | have
never cared about winning her before,
but 1 swear to give my life to the task

1t seemed probable that it would be
a very long one, for Lady Caraven pos
itively refused to see her husband
again. In vain Arley Ransome plead
ed for him; she was memorable.
Even a worm will turn when it is
trodden," she said. Il have suffered
my last indignity at his hands"
The earl was compelled to return to
Ravensmere, and he did so almost de-
spairingly. Lady Hamilton was fast
improving; she would be able to go to
her own home soon. the doctor said,
and all anxiety about her was quite
at an end. The truth OF the story had
come to light; all the papers had it;
every one knew that Lady Hamilton
had been shot by mistake and that it
was the young Countess of Caraven
whom John Blantyre had intended to
kill.
The earl confided the result of his
mission to Sir Raoul, who was not
much surprised.
"You have tried her beyond her
strength" he said; 81 should advise
you without loss of time to return to
London again"
Lord Caraven did so, but his journey
was fruitless. Hildred refused to see
him; to all entreaties from her father
she answered simply:
81 have not one word to add to what
have said" and with that answer the
earl was Obliged to be content.
In sheer despair he sent for Sir
Raoul, who, though almost unfit to
travel, fastened to him; he besought
him to use his influence with the beau
tiful young wife who had no pity
for him. Then he grew wildly Jealous

Sir Raoul when she refused absolutely

Dinner at the Zoo.

Dinner at the Zoo calls for a most
extensive and varied menu. In fact.
the difficulty of keeping animals from
all quarters of the globe supplied with
food that resembles that to which
they were used in their native fields,
forests or jungles is one of the most
difficult problems that the managers OF
geological collections must face. Only
one animal-the hog-seems wholly in
different as to the nature and quality
of its food, and some species are eX-
tremely fastidious. Even the ostrich
manifests a choice and shows no rel
ish for the nails and old iron with
which it is credited with regaling it
self on the African farms; and one
species, the Somalt ostrich accepts
only green food, refusing to touch the
meat and biscuits of which the South
African ostrich is very fond. The gi-
raffe is one of the daintiest of beasts.
living in nature on the leaves which
it strips from trees, and in the gar
dens on the best clover hay, crushed
oats, bran and chaff, with fresh green
tares and an occasional onion as rel
ishes; and while it is very fond Of
fresh, whole apples, rejects one that
has been bitten. Some animals are
able to change their native tastes and
acquire others, vegetarians becoming
flesh eaters, and insect eaters turn
ing to fruit and grain-as the kea OF
New Zealand, which, once a strict
vegetarian, has become very fond of
mutton. Animals in the Zoo have to
submit to more or less OF this, for their
native food is often unattainable,

garocs are very subject to govt and

She was quite silent for few min

the hilltops before the light of the
sun, all shadow passed from her face,
and she answered him:

BRYAN's PATRIOTISM.
Seek to Discredft the
Champion of the Free
People.

In spite of the fact that William J.
Bryan promptly offered his services to
the government when war was declared,
the republican press has been bitter in
its attacks because he has not entered
the military service. President McKin-
ley ignored Bryan's offer, as might have
been expected, and appointed a large
number of rich nobodies to military po-
sitions. Of course, republican admin
istration would naturally do all it could
TO discredit the democrat who secured
$500, 900 votes at the last presidential
election. Now William J. Bryan has
begun active work recruiting regi-
ment of soldiers IN Nebraska, which he
will command, and it is understood that
he will ask to be sent to the front, where
he and his regiment can engage in
active service. It goes without saying
that Bryan's motives will be maligned
by the administration press. Doubtless
every effort will be made to keep Bryan
out of the army. As long as he waited
for an acceptance of his services the
administration organs jibed at his de-
lay and urged him to go to the front.
Now that he has become convinced that
he can expect no recognition from Nc
kinley as a patriotic citizen, and has
entered upon the independent work of
raising a regiment, he viii be abused
worse than ever. There is very little
patriotism and a vast deal of politics
in the republican conduct of war. The
administration wanted peace even at
the expense of dishonor, and it was
forced into taking a manly stand by the
loyal and patriotic people. If the re-
pubIicans can secure political capital
out Of war they will consider that they
have made some gain. but simply to
preserve the honor of the nation, to
make Cuba free and to revenge the de-
struction of the Maine would be con-
sidered small reward by them.

CHEAP GOODS.
A GoIdbuE Theory Thnt Lacks Any
thing Like Reasonable
Backing.

The gold men say that fall of prices
harms no one, because, if the producer
has to sell more cheaply, he can also
buy more cheaply, and thus keep even.
That sounds plausible, but in practice
it doesn't work. If everybody had the
same amount of money, everything fell
in the same ratio and everyone occupied
precisely the same position in all as
poets, then the policy would hold good.
But if mans wealth be entirely in the
form of money and prices fall one
half, it makes him, in effect, just twice
as rich; and when such change of re-
lation takes place somebody must have
sustained loss. If one man gets more
than his share others must have less.
1t is a singular circumstance that the
gold men will persistently claim that
fall of prices will do no harm because
the losses of the sale are offset by the
gains on the purchases, and at the same
time declaring that a rise of prices is
going TO work dire ruin. They ought To
be able to see that the rule which they
invoke applies just as well TO a case of
rising prices as of falling. If a person
sustains a loss by being compelled 10
pay more for what he buys, it would
seem as if he should be able to keep
even by getting higher prices for what
he sells.
