be digestion or our food will cause dyspep-

they are digested.
The use Of books is to stimulate and
replenish the mind, to give it stuff TO
work with, ideas. facts, sentiments. but We
must not deluge it. \ mill will not so if

ART OF LISTENING.
"All true life is listening. Take heed
Light will not come to the careless, mat
tentive mind We must take heed, listen
for the many notes that record some sweet
thought of nature. Light does not shine
into our soul irrespective of our gazing.
The scent does not dissolve itself to us
without our seeking Nature is fun of
delicate signs. small whispers. that only
needs the attentive ear TO unfathom.
The man of business puts his ear to the
great traffic of life and out of the clash
and turmoil he catches the fluctuation of
the market and knows where to buy and
sell. The child of God may be tossed here
and there on the arduous duties of life.
but above the noise and hustle he hears
the encouraging words of his God, show
ing him how to live and walk.
christianity does not mean the suppress
sion of our intellect. but awakening them.
God does not communicate his secrets in
an earthquake, but in the small voice. He
does not illustrate his meaning in blazing
diagrams, but in delicate signs that only
true child of God can read. May we not
say, I will watch to see what he viii say
unto me?"
CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE.
1--WE ought to be stirred with such noble
discomfort We ought to leave behind us
the south land of a merely usual and rou-
tine experience and seek the springs Of wa
ter of the peace and joy and strength of a
purer likeness of our Lord.
Don't dwell in the borderland, but seek
the higher mountains of Gods wisdom and
knowledge Don't rest in ease in the valley.
but fight manfully onward until you reach
the top. DON'T be a Christian in name but
be one in heart and character. Don't be
satisfied with meagre idea of Gods Word.
but never rest until you know it's utmost
depths and make it part of yourself.
Don't live for the earth alone, but remem-
Der there is heaven above and a crown as
your reward Seek a higher life and above
all things, while here on the arduous du-
ties of life be a man.

GLASS PAvEMENTs.

Glass is the latest paving material
that has been introduced. Last Summer
several streets in the city of Lyons,
France, were paved with this material,
and the reports are that the experiment
is a success. The blocks are, of course,
prepared by a peculiar process which
has not been made public. They each
have a surface. area Of sixty-four square
inches, and each one is crossed or
checkered by a series of grooves, divid-
ing the surface into small squares and
giving a better foothold for horses. The
blocks are fitted very closely to each
other, and are said to be cleaner than
any other kind so far used. They are
very durable and show neither wear
nor chipping The latter seems hard to
believe. especially where heavy hauling
is done. Glass may prove to be valuable
paving material, although this single
experiment. and not yet long tried. is
hardly decisive. Railroad men have
been experimenting. with glass ties on
small scale, and good results are
said to have been obtained, although
their general introduction has not fol-
lowed.
