Different Views.

Professor G. f. Wright of "Ice Age In
North America" fame and Mr.. W. Up
ham, one of our leading biologists, are
prone to argue from cause to effect and are
supposedly logical In their deductions.
They were shipwrecked off the coast of
Labrador, their steamer the Miranda,
having run into an iceberg. On board
were many recently converted Eskimos.
To account for their misfortunes the Eski-
mos insisted that 1t was because the vessel
had sailed from St. Johns on Sunday,
"and to their simple faith our collision, F"
SO the scientists write, twas deserved
punishment for breaking the Sabbath. "
The Anglo-Saxon sailors accounted for 1t
from the fact that "three rats had been
seen to leave the ship when she was In
New York." because the steamer had sail
ed from New York on Friday, and, what
was more ominous, there was a Clergyman
on board Who were correct, the Eskimos
or the sailors?

Told of Greek shutters.

A writer from Maryland in The Amer
lean Field makes some remarks about a
duck which he calls creek shutters, better
known as the ring neck duck. He says
that they fly twice as fast as swans, and
swans have flown at the rate of 90 miles
an hour over measured course Besides
being buletlike fliers they are also
"corkers for brains.' Instead of coming
to the decoys, Nko decent fool ducks, they
have to fly over the top of the blind In cir
cles, far out of gun shot and, of course, see
the shooter, then make music for less dan
gerous localities and are out of sight in
four seconds.
The kinds of ducks mort likely to come
to one locality during given migration
cannot be told. 1t is so with the creek
shutters, bird abundant in Florida, and
varying in numbers from year to year in
the north. One year canvasbacks come in
thousands and, thank fortune, shutters,
then mallards, then shutters, and SO Oh,
in a way to make the man who likes to
shoot ducks of particular kind quit
shooting. Why the ducks should vary so
Is not known.

A Peculiar People.

1t is frequent accusation against
Christians that little difference is APP
parent between them and people who
make no profession of allegiance to
Christ This implies that some visible
difference is expected. 1t certainly is
true also that such a difference always
has been insisted upon by Christians
themselves, who thus have conceded
the fairness of the claim that it ought
to be evident. In what sense, then, is a
Christian believer bound to be unlike
others?
1t is not enough TO reply that he is
bound to be pure, peaceable, unselfish
and diligent in all good endeavor. This
is true of him, but it is equally true Of
every one else. Nobody is a real Chris
tian of whom this is not true-at least
so far as concerns the ruling spirit and
purpose of his life-but nobody Of
whom this is true is, therefore, "a Chris
tian. Wherein, then, lies the peculiari-
ty of the Christian? Is it not in this
fact that he is animated, as no one else
is, by the distinct purpose of initiating
and honoring Jesus Christ?--Congrega-
tionalist

ChurChgoing.

And, best of all, by churchgoing we
have our share in the greatest act OF
Christian worship-the showing forth
of the Lords death in the holy sacra-
ment. We may eat the flesh and drink
the blood of Christ to the strengthening
of our soul No private prayer, no BIZ
BILE reading at home, will make up for
the loss of this, for this is the Chris
tians highest duty and the Christian s
dearest privilege. BY churchgoing you
honor your God, you win His blessing
on all your pleasures and all your cares.
BY forsaking your church you lose the
blessing of His presence, and your soul
will faint and perish, until you come
near to forget God. And then how
shall He remember you when He calls
together His people at the great day?
If you have any love and gratitude to
God for creating, redeeming and sancti-
flying you-if you want anything from
Him, if you have soul TO be saved
don { give up going to church. If you
don't love God. if you don't care about
salvation, it is useless to argue with
you. Church Evangelist.

Shark Worship In Hawaii.

The shark has been, perhaps, the most
universally worshiped of all the Hawaiian
animal gods. Strange as it may seem, the
islanders formerly regarded the shark as
being the friend and protector of all those
who pay him devout attention. Each To-
cality along the coast of the main islands
of the Hawaiian group formerly had its
patron shark, whose name, place OF abode,
history etc., were all well known to his
superstitious worshipers. The biggest and
most celebrated of these shark diyinities
was u male whose mouth was so large that
he could easily swallow any other shark
known to frequent those waters. Accord
ing to the Hawaiian folklore stories, the
bulk of this "god of the sea" was so great
that he could not pass through the mar
row channels which separate the different
islands, but spent his time swimming
around the whole group and looking after
the welfare of the people.-St. Louis Re-
public.

Gagged WILD ANIMALS.
How They Are Treated by the Keepers =
the London Zoo.

How They Are Treated by the Keepers NJ
the London Zoo.
It always appeared to the writer that
Sutton, the head keeper of the zoo, treated
lions and some male tigers as II they were
dogs while all the lionesses, tho leopards
pumas and most tigers were treated as
cats. Lionesses he never touched with the
hand, and leopards, except the snow Loop
ards, very seldom, but some of the tigers
and the male lions behaved In their deal
ings with him exactly as IL they were do
mesticated animals. Bears, he maintain
ed, always became unsafe to handle after
they were full grown, though often tame
and friendly when cubs. Polar bears, on
the other hand he looked upon as always
dangerous and quite untamable, having
kind of incurable levity which makes them
absolutely without respect or fear for man,
even when they are kept In captivity. In
the case of the larger cats age and Ill tenn
per do not necessarily increase together.
In all the years spent In the care OF the
large carnivora he never received an In
Jury, yet, though never hurt by the bears
or lions, he was nearly killed by zebra.
The correct facts of this curious accident
were as follows: The zebra, which was
known to be very savage, was turned out
into yard, the sliding door between the
yard and its stall being pushed to but not
fastened by the man whose duty 1t was to
do SO. Sutton was In the inner stall, put
ting In fresh hay, when the zebra heard
him. He also heard 1t trot up to the door,
and the next moment saw Its muzzle
pushed against tho crack Which had been
left between the edge Of the door and the
post. 1t slid the door back in moment,
ran In, and, STOPPING its head, seized him
below the knee and threw him violently
on his hack. 1t held on to his leg, biting
60 severely that 1t cracked the shin bone,
though Sutton, who was lying on his
back, kicked 1t hard with the other foot.
The other men drove it off with stable
forks, but the keeper was laid up for Is
weeks from the effects of the blte.-Lon-

1t 10 one of the curious things in hu.

duty tends to narrow men In their views
aud sympathies. Holding tenaoiously
some item not fully recognized by 9th.
ers often leads to o pride Of knowledge
and sense Of superior moral worth which
at times becomes almost arrogance itself.
Others are looked upon as ignorant or
willfully vicious. More and more we
withdraw ourselves from them lest we
be contaminated by Intercourse with
them. We grow in our pride of mental
and moral superiority and become set
tied in our sectarian bigotry.
30 Peter found himself when Corne-
Illus servants came to ask him to 20 to
the godly centurion's house and show
him the true way to serve God. Jesus
might not eat with or keep company
with one of another religion. His ex.
clusiveness was constant badge Of His
piety and purity. Three times the vi.
sion on the housetop Of Simon the tan
ner was given to the apostle before he
was moved far enough from his Jewish
narrowness to understand the breadth
Of the Christian fellowship and the real
nature Of his mission as an apostle Of
Jesus Christ.
One of the hardest things for us to
master is the fact that others who do
not believe as we do may still be sincere
and earnest and as truly godly in life
and purpose as ourselves.
When the practice Of others is differ.
ent from our own, we wonder how they
can do such things and yet hope for the
favor of God.
Our exclusiveness Is not sign Of su-
periority, but of an intolerant spirit,
far different from the spirit of the Mas.
ter.
Peter finds that God has many true
worshipers who are not Jews. Though
they had not the enlightenment which
the Jews possessed regarding spiritual
things they had the earnest spirit of in
quiry and of obedience and of benefi-
cenoe toward the needy. They were and
ever are loved of God. His command is
to His more favored children to not re-
gard such as wicked and worthless, but
to go to them in the spirit of helpful
ness and meekness, gladly giving them
instruction in the right way. showing
sympathy and friendliness.
Ruskin in his "St. Marks Rest"
shows how this mind rules in SO much
of our inter- rotation of things national
as we'll as dividual. All are eager in
the missionary service of their own
schism. But zeal for our sect is not
love of God or our fellow man.
God love is over all His works. He
accepts all everywhere who reverence
Him and work the things they believe
right according to their best light.

NV Marriages Were Ceatrssted sad TIE
Men Who Tied the Knsts.
The advantage Of . marriage at Gretna
Green, In Dumfriesshire, near the border
OF England, was that no previous notice
was required nor was any residence In the
locality necessary. According to the law
Of Scotland, q man and woman taking
each other for husband and wife before
witnesses constituted legal and binding
marriage, but whether such q marriage
would have been held legal In England
had case Of disputed possession come be-
fore the courts was, l believe, never set
tied. Such marriages among English peo-
pie practically ceased after the passing of
Lord Brougham's act, In 1855, which
made marriage illegal unless one of the
parties had resided In Scotland for 81
days.
The persons who celebrated these mar
riages were self constituted ministers OF
no standing, either social or legal. They
had no monopoly of the business, and
there were often several priests residing at
or near Gretna Green and marrying the
various people who came to their houses.
A great deal has been written about the
marriages, but very little about the priests,

military uniform and claimed to have q
special license from the government as his

Joseph Paisley acquired a good business
He obtained the name of the Old Black

was at first smuggler, a farmer and a

at any time blacksmith. His first resi-
dence was at Megg's Hill, on the common,
or green, between Gretna and Springfield,
to the last of which villages he removed In

HE SAVED MONEY.
But 1t Was at the Expense of the Robbers
Liberty.

While Tom Fitch, the orator and poll
tician, was praoticing law in Tombstone,
A. T., he had occasion to visit Phenix.
On the way there the stage was held up
by lone highwayman, who not only rob-
bed the mail and express box but searched
all of the passengers. The fellow found
about SO, 600 in the express box, and Fitch
lost $780, besides gold watch and chain.
While still at Phenix the robber was
captured, and, hearing that Fitch was in
town, sent for him. Fitch's face appeared
familiar, but the highwayman had forgot
ten where he had seen it, and Fitch said
nothing about the matter.
what will you defend me fors' he
asked
"well, I'll tell you what I'll dc" said
Fitch. "I'll defend you for $500, but I'll
agree to get you out and free on writ Of
habeas corpus for $780,"
CAN right; it's CO."
The fellow told Fitch where his money
was concealed, and the attorney found it.
As soon AS he had 1t safely slowed away in
his gripsack he started home for Tomb
stone and left the robber to take care of
himself
A couple of months later Fitch was
nearly frightened out of his wits to see the
robber walk into his Office.
