Israel Putnam's Exploit Matched.

Near Pearl, in Boise County,
Idaho, a mountainlion, shown to be
of great size by its trail, vas tracked
to cave by Charles Lockerman, who
had two or three men with him.
Then the question arose, "How was
the cougar to be got out of the csve?"
zone of the men with Lockerman"
so the hero is designated-volun-
teered to enter the cave, light fire,
creep out and leave the animal to be
smoked out, so that Lockerman could
shoot him.
Now a mountain lion of full size is
quite as formidable as wolf, and to
enter the cave with him must be as
great an achievement as that which is
legendary concerning Israel Putnam.
But this anonymous person did not
hesitate. At the risk of encountering
the wild beast, he took some brush
and matches, crept into the cave,
made fire, and crept out again.
Soon the smoke filled the cave;
soon also the mountain lion, snarling,
came bounding out. Lockerman was
ready, and ball from his rife laid
the creature low. 1t was measured,
and found to be seven feet in length.

Interpreting God to Men.

One Of the gravest hindrances to the
spread of the Gospel is that men do not I'M
derstand Gods dealings with them. This is
true not only in reference to missions but
also in Christian lands. in our own commu-
mites The mystery which often shrouds
the motives, and even the actions, Of the
divine Being was so depressing to the be-
lever before he surrendered himself to
God that he ought not now to wonder
that unbelievers are perplexed and re-
PEELED by it, 1t is his mission to
help them in regard to it. He is to
be Gods interpreter. He has learned to
trust. He has experienced the safety and
satisfaction Of unfaltering faith in spite OF
prospect no matter how threatening and dis
couraging. He has learned something OF the
heavenly Father. He therefore may serve
as link between God and his fellowmen.
He is in pathy with both. He can tell
his fellows what he has found out about
God and duty, He can tell them this look
ing also at the matter from their point OF
view. for once it was his own. Here Is
where much OF the strength Of the Christian
lies as worker for souls. Let him recall
his own earlier gropings after God, 1t may
be even his own disregard Of God, and let
him mentally put himself once more in the
place of him to whom he would appeal.
Then let him make his plea with courtesy,
tact. kindliness and unaffected sincerity, and
he will not wholly fail. II he do no more at
first, he at least will make an opening for
future efforts which may succeed.

Growth in Grace.

The Christian cannot stand still in the
matter OF his spiritual development. He
must either advance or fall back. Every
lay makes its impression and its differ
ence. Growth in grace is the law of his
being as true. healthy believer. 1t has
its signs which are plain for others to
read. and often plain for him. II we OBJ
serve him exhibiting increased steadiness
of Christian purpose and effort, more fldel-
.ty TO every duty, more earnestness, more
activity, more satisfaction in spiritua!
service, we regard him as growing in
grace. He need not undertake novel
forms OF effort. but il he travel day by
lay in the pathway Of customary duty
with growing zeal we can trust him. The
effect will be visible in his daily occupa-
lion whatever it be. Thank God that we
,an prove our growth in grace by the do
ing OF common things. We need not
search afar for the heroic. 1t will reveal
Itself in unexpected places and ways to
him who steadfastly does one duty at a
lime for Christ as thoroughly as he
.an. Often this growth in grace becomes
noticeable first in relation to the Bible.
We find new meanings in it for ourselves.
We love it more. We open it oftener. The
same is true Of prayer. As we develop
slowly into something OF the divine likeness,
We learn better how to pray and how to dis
cover the answers to prayer. Many prayer
meeting has been thrilled by new tone and
spirit filling the utterances Of some perhaps
familiar voice, because it unconsciously re-
geals a new inner experience. You cannot
grow in grace and Keep the fact secret
long. 1t will out in look, and voice, and
act. 1t is worth noting that We are not al
ways the best judges Of our own growth in
grace. Sometimes others are aware Of it
when we are despondent about ourselves.
On the other hand, sometimes others do not
perceive it as clearly as We think they ought
to- Then usually it Is we who are mistaken.
But when we feel our love for Christ grow
ing within US so imperatively that it must
find fuller expression. we need not doubt
longer about the fact OF our growth.

APraYer for Solace.

Speak to US, God, in words OF calm and
power that the troubled sea Of our desires
and griefs may be at rest. We have striyen
and failed. We have climbed and fallen.
We have hoped and been disappointed.
Yet we have never sought for thee with our
whole hearts, but we have found thee
close at hand. Our purest and most intim-
ate affections speak to US OF thine en-
during. all-embracing love. When we
are weary we remember that thou weariest
not. When we have failed we take refuge
in the thought Of thy long-suffering pity
and enduring righteousness. When we are
overburdened and distressed we lifs sur
hearts to thee. In all thy experiences by
completion meets and sustains our incom-
pletion. Everywhere thou addest gift to
gift until We are uplifted and our hearts are
glad. So hold us, Lord, above the level OF
our doubts aud fears, so quicken us to child
like trust, so glorify thyself in US through
work and pleasure. life and death, that We
may share the peace Of God that passeth
understanding. We ask in the name Of
Jesus Christ whom thou hast made our
peace. Amen.

Where Good Roads Pay.

It is acknowledged, says the Nashua
Telegraph, that if the Granite State is
to hold the prestige of the past and
still remain the great Mecca for visitors
and tourists, that the State must see
to it that. the roads are put in the best
condition possible. The people Of
other States are building systems OF
splendid roads which form very at
tractive feature, and one that will do
much to attract outsiders. New Hamp-
shire has got to do the same, and a
grand State road up the Merrimack
valley to the mountains is an imme-
diate demand of the condition Of affairs
at the present time.

In it, says the Self Culture Magazine.
Men of the largest abilities usually
find greater inducements in other pro-
fessions. Under the present condi-
,tions q Ian of great ability, unless he
be philanthropist, can scarcely afford
to devote his talents to ordinary edu-
cational work. If we are to have bet
ter education we must have higher
appreciation of its importance. We
must learn that the solution of educa-
tional problems requires the highest
order of intellect, skill and wisdom;
so far from being a mere routine of
appointing lessons and hearing recita-
tions, is professional work requir-
ing the highest intellect and moral
capaeity.

What are the objects and aims of a
college of forestry? First and fore
most, they are to find thesurest means
of saving our present timber growth
from destruction aud disappearance.
Wood is one of the indispensable re-
uuisites of the human race. Forests
not merely supply wood, but they pre-
vent the washing away OF the earth in
mountains slides, which can never be
restored. Forests hold the water that
drops from the clouds and allow it to
penetrate slowly into the streams, in
stead of rushing to the ocean in floods,
leaving a pathway of destruction iuits
brief course and parching waste be-
hind till the next rainfall comes. The
forest is natures reservoir. 1t is a
raservoir which costs nothing in the
beginning, but which, when once lost,
can never be rebuilt. There are wide
spaces, on the earth's surface which
once supported dense population,
but which are now uninhabitable be-
cause the forests were cut down and
the soil which furnished food for man
swept away in consequence.

Inithe English schools of the lowest
gradethere is class of drudges known
as pupil-teachers. They are mainly
girls hom thirteen to sixteen in age,
who are employed in teaching the ele-
ments of reading, writing and arith-
metie.t There are about thirteen thou
sand of these pupil-teachers in Eng
lish schools supported by local taxa
ton. This system of having children
as teachers has not worked well. 1t
was cheap and reduced expenses. 1t
was cheap also in quality and ef-
iciency. A parliamentary committee
has reeently condemned the system,
and proposed various measures for re-
forming it. 1t has advised the Educa-
ton Department to raise the age Of the
child-teacher from thirteen to fifteen,
and in the course of a few years to
make it sixteen. 1t has also proposed
a system of training Aachers for pri-
mary work. England is far behind
America in methods of primary in
struction.

Paragraphs About the Crusade.

The motor carriage will be another
shouter for good roads.
And what the highway most requires
is better drainage and broader tires.
The many cycle-2aths on Long
Island afford such good all-the-year
riding that wheels can be advantage
ously used there at almost all ssaaons.
The plan of appointing an engineer
as overseer of the roads of South
Orange, n. J., is being considered. 1t
ought to be done. The practice there
of annually throwing earth apd sod
upon the macadam to protect" 1t IS a
disgrace to so progressive q town.
The hard roads of Long Island are
so attractive to wheelmen that increas-
ing numbers are constantly using
them. Two years ago 10000 cyclists
travelled on the Long Island railroad;
last year 100000, and this year over
$50, 600, going to and from different
riding points on the island.

moment he was rolling over and over
down the stream, carried away by the
rushing torrent.
Mr.. Bordie sought to free himself
and make an independent struggle to
reach the shore, but his feet were
fast in the stirgups, and he could not
pull them out.
At one moment he was above the
water, and at another beneath it.;
sometimes the horse was on top, and
sometimes the man. Bordie resolved
10 put an END to this state Of things,
and succeeded in drawing his knife
from his pocket, intending to cut the
stirrup straps. However, before he
could cut them his feet came free Of
the stirrups, and he struck out for the
shore.
He found the bank steep and rocky,
affording him no foothold or handhold.
He was out of breath, and was swept
downward along the bank. By and
by he came to q tree whose branches
overhung the water; he seized branch
and clung to it until he had regained
his breath.
While hanging here he looked about
him, and across the river, on the op-
posite busy bank, he saw his horse
caught in the bushes and unable to
rise, but clear of the water. Bordie,
by the aid of his branch, now felt that
he could get ashore, but he was not
the man to leave his horse in such a
situation.
He climbed up on the branch far
enough so that he could remove his
clothes, and took them all of, having
no fancy for swimming in dangerous
water with his clothes and boots on.
When they were laid off he dropped
into the river again, and swan over to
where his horse was. he unsaddled
the animal, assisted it to rise, mounted
it, and picked out the best place he
could find to swim the horse back
across the river.
He got across with some difficulty,
and still mounted, as frontiersman
should be, but little cold in the
March wind, rode on down the stream
in search of his clothes. He found
them, put them on, and continued his.
journey as if nothing had happened.

WASHINGTON. D. C. (SpcciaD Secretary

asks for an emergency appropriation to
pay for the exploration by scientists OF our
new territory.
The Secretary thinks that dairy prod
ucts can be proatably exported to
France and Germany whenever the
home supply snail exceed the demand.
He has sent an agent to japan aud China
"to establish agencies to which the depart
ment will make trial shipments and gather
all information possible for the American
producer.
The Secretary says that he distributed
19O, 900 bulbs during the year; that dip
has been perfected which takes the
fever ticks from cattle; that expert
ments in antitoxin serum to prevent
hog cholera should be continued under
Government auspices; that the depart
ment's vaccine is gradually wiping out
the blackleg disease; that good work
has been done in hybridizing the orange
and the crossing Of pineapples; that four

A Brave Deed.

This is the story related in the
issue of the Madras (India) Times on
the day following the deed it chron-
ic!ed:
Zone of the bravest deeds ever wit
messed in Madras was performed yes
terday by young sailor of the Boston
clipper Hurkaru. He had been in
trusted with letter by Captain Ship
man of the Hurkaru to send off to his
ship by catamaran. The Captain had
met with an accident, and was unable
to reach the shore in person. When
the boy arrived at the pier he found
plenty of boatmen, but the surf was
running so high that the most daring
of them declined to make the venture.
The boy offered as much as 1000
rupees TO the man who would deliver
the letter, but could find nobody who
would risk his life. 1t was evident
from the appearance of the sky the
cyclone was about to begin, and it
seemed like courting certain death to
attempt the perilous feat.
"The gallant young sailor borrowed
asou'wester from an English seaman,
giving in return his own sun topee,
and putting the letter in the lining of
the sou'wester, tied it firmly to his
head. He then purchased for ten
rupees eight annas catamaran and
paddle from fisherman, and was
soon embarked on it, and battling
with the surf. At least half dozen
times he was hurled back on the
beach. Fortune, however, favored
him. Taking advantage'of smooth
spell, he darted out, and by splendid
struggle got outside the line of the
breakers, and padded out in the
direction of the Hurkaru. He was
watched from the pier, and we are i'll
formed that he was observed to reach
his vessel just as the storm smote
her. We trust that the good. news
will be confirmed by the safe return
of the ship to port. All honor to this
gallant young Yankee"

The Boston subway has proved a
great success. 1t is nearly two miles
long, with FIVE large underground sta
tions, two of them under Boston Com
mon. For the most part the bottom
of the tunnel is thirty-nine feet below
the surface. The tunnel is wide
enough for two electric car tracks and
in some places for four. Three years

struction, and its cost is within the
original appropriation, $1,000, 900.
