thoughts Of the comrades. This list IS
widely published.
Any one may become a comrade Of
the Quiet Hour that will send to Dr.
Clark a stamp for covenant card.
In our hurrying, nervous age, with
its many cares and worries few things
are more needed than the peace and
calm confidence which this Quiet Hour
aims to supply. 1t emphasizes one
of the most important features of the
Christian Endeavor pledge, and we
hope all Endeavorers will make trial
of the plan.
Some societies have appointed Quiet
Hour committees, whose duty it is
to quietly explain the plan to every
body, to obtain as many new comrades
as possible, and to make frequent sug-
gestions, in the society meetings, re-
garding wise ways of observing the

the development of their intelligence
Elephants are fond of wine and rum
and rats gnaw the slaves OF wine
casks to get at the contents. Cats,
however, rarely exhibit a fondness for
intoxicants. Among birds the parrot
takes first place as an habitual topper
Insects have many opportunities to
become intoxicated, and it is the most
active that most frequently avail them
selves of the chance. There is an arc
matte intoxicating fluid in linden bios
SONS for which bees show an especial
fondness. Instances have been OBJ
served where swarms of bees regaled
themselves with the poisonous linden
nectar until they exhibited all the
signs of intoxication. Hundreds fell
helplessly to the roadside, to be tram
pied under foot.

Eschew Secrecy.

The International Typographical
union at Springfield, Mass, has re-
solved that hereafter representatives
of the press and employing printers
who may choose to attend shall be adj
mitted to the meetings of the union.
This action was taken after a discus
sion which brought out the advantages
to be derived by trades unions from
publication of the truth about their
work, and by disabusing the minds o;
employers as to secret and disored-
liable methods of conducting union
business 1 see that this action is
being widely noted in the press as be-
ing probably the first time a trades
union in the United States has adopt
ed such an open policy" While it may
not be the first time, it certainly is a
radical departure from time-honored
custom, and step in the right direc-
ton. Whatever is done in secret
arouses suspicion of its fairness.
Neither have 1 ever known employ
ers to have been ignorant of what was
going on in unions, if they cared par
ticularly to find out. The rule of Sc
crecy keeps matters secret only when
no one cares to learn about them.
Open meetings should be the rule
everywhere. They must be, if orga-
nized labor is to receive general rec
ognition as a body of dignity second to
none. Nothing, 1 believe, would more
rapidly advance the cause of labor
than the removal of secrecy from its
meetings Secrecy may have been nee
essary in the past, when it was al
most a crime to belong to a union.
That day has gone. 1t is now held as
honorable to belong to a union as it
is to be a member Of a church, A po-
litical party, or a benevolent society.
The removal of secrecy does not mean
that every counsel of the union shall
be open to the world, any more than
Cpcn sessions of congress mean that
every word spoken by committee in
deliberation must be uttered in a loud
voice before a gallery of spectators.
A union, as firm, must at times de-
liberate with no outsiders present.
But there is a wide difference between
going into executive or secret session
when necessary and constantly saying
to the world that under no circum-
stances must the light of day penetrate
to where you work.
Labor is a giant. Its counsels are
honorable. Its ends create q better
America. The more labor is under
stood, the greater will grow its inf1u-
ence Remove the veil, that all the
world may see, learn, admire.

Not Fearful of Dea tn.

1t has been made known very wide
ly that the noble wife Of the Rev. Jo-
seph Parker of the City Temple took
strong stand against mourning dis
plays, says a London paper, and be-
fore her death made the request that
her relatives should not go into
mourning. The following words were
attached to her will: 81 particularly
request and direct that at my death
those who love me will put on no sign
whatever of mourning, but that they
will think of me as promoted to
higher school, where I shall meet my
Lord, and know even as 1 am known"
In his own pulpit and during the. first
service that he conducted after his be-
reavement, DR.. Parker referred to the
matter thus: GA man cannot have
been living thirty-four years in bright
est sunshine and suddenly stop. have
directed that all the hymns this morn
ing shall be cheerful. That desire has
been respected, except in that, to me,
always dreadful hymn, number 312 ("1
Need Thee Every Hour'), the most
selfish pietism I know of; beautiful in
words, but not fitted to my soul just
now. There is only one tone that be-
comes me. I have been told, with you,
not to go into mourning; mourning is
not a question of clothing only. See
that your souls be not in mourning,
see that your souls be not clothed in

Flashing the Light.

Light, by its very nature, radiates:
1t strikes one spot only to slant from
it to another. A boy may sit in his
window and catch the whole disk of
the sun in his hand glass and dazzle
with it some puzzled nefghbor clear
across the road. Sometimes in war
the signal service men stand ON a hill
top and flash the light from one mirror
to another, until at last there is trans
mitted far across the country the plan
Of their campaign. Under the same
principle of radiation the messages OF
God are transmitted to the world of
men. The mirror of one pure life
catches the light on its undimmed sur
face, and then light slants on to other
lives, and across the years the pur-
poses of God are conveyed and made
plain. 1t takes a very small mirror to
reflect the whole circle Of the sun. 1t
takes no more than a very insignifi
cant life to transmit in a clear image
the reflection of the light of God. And
that is what gives life significance-not
how great it is, but how pure is its re-
fecting power; not its receptive, but
its transmissive capacity.-Sel.

An Improved Microscope.

The microscope, as constructed here
tofore, only allowed the inspection of
even surfaces, and its focus was so linn
tied that objects of any thickness had
to be first prepared between glass
plates or upon fiat surface to become
visible at all. This quality makes it
a most difficult matter to observe OBJ
jects through a microscope of great
charging power. In order to obviate
this difficulty and to enable the en-
larging of small bodies as we'll as of
fiat surfaces, an American living in
Paris, Mr.Greenough, constructed a mi
croscope with greater depth of focus,
which has since been further improved
by the optician, Czapski, of Jean, Ger
many. Its lenses are so arranged that
they will permit the inspection of I'M
even surfaces, and in order to make
the vision more perfect, two systems
of lenses are provided, giving the i'm
age strongly stereoscopic effect.

The Best Good.

How foolish to order life on the
principle upon which we are all tempt
ed to do it, and to yield to the tempta-
ton which some of us yield far too
much, of fancying that the best good
is the good that we can touch and
taste and handle and that men can
see. No! No! Deep down in our
hearts, a JOY that strangers never in
termeddle with nor know, a peace that
passes understanding, a present Christ
and a heaven all but present, because
Christ is present-these are the good
things for men. and these are the
things which God does not, because he
cannot, fling broadcast into the world,
but which he keeps, because he must,
for those that desire them and are fit
for them. He causeth his sun to
shine and the rain to fall on the I'M
thankful and on the disobedient." But
the goodness laid up is better than the
sunshine and more refreshing and fer
tilizing and cleansing than the rain,
and it comes and comes only to them
that trust him and live near him.

Silk from Shell Fish,


The idea that the sea contains a ma
terial capable of being wrought into
the form and characteristics of silk
has commonly been treated as a myth.
But according to the American Silk
Journal, the shell-fsh, known as the
pirma, found in the Mediterranean,
has the power of secreting a viscid
silk which, in Sicily, is sometimes
made into a handsome fabric. The
silky matter is elected by the she1l-fish
in the first instance, for the purpose Of
attaching itself to the rocks, possess
ing the unique capacity, as it does, of
guiding the delicate filaments to the
proper place and there gluing them
fast, reproducing them also if they are
cut away. This substance, when
gathered, is washed in soap and water,
dried, Strengthened and carded, one
pound of the coarse flament yielding
about three ounces of fine thread,
which, when spun, is of an attractive
golden brown color. There is also said
to be in the Royal Berlin Museum, a
pair of golden brown silk gloves made
of byssus silk, a material obtained
from the small silk tufts protruding
from the byssus shell; this fibre is
silky and changes in color from green
iSh yellow to dark brown, the single
threads being two to three inches long.

a
There is a curious fish called the
seabream, which is very seldom caught
in this part of the world, as it is
native of warmer seas than ours. 1t Is
thin and fiat, with a brightly colored
body and mouth which in many speci-
ments projects so much as to look
like small snout. This snout is used
in wonderful way; the fish actually
shoots insects with it. Having dis
covered with its sharp eyes fly rest
ing on some leaf or twig not far above
the water, the Dream swims cautiously
to spot directly beneath, and then
suddenly raising its snout above the
surface, darts from it a single drop of
water straight at it's prey. 1t seldom if
ever misses it's aim. Down drops the
unsuspecting fly into the water, where
1t is pounced upon and swallowed. In
China this strange fish is often kept
as we keep gold fish for the amusement
of seeing it shoot. A fly is fixed at
some height above the vase or globe;
the Dream shoots at it again and again,
puzzled no doubt that it does not fall,
and rarely aiming wrong, though it
may be at distance Of three or four
feet.

The Giant TELESCOPE of Paris.

The giant telescope that is to be
used at the great exposition in Paris
in 1900, is well under way. The aper-
ture will be 1872 inches and the focal
length 1876 feet and 10 inches, and the
estimated cost 100000 francs $780,
0OO). The telescope will not be swung
in domed building, but one of hori-
zonta1 position on solid supports OF
masonry, and will receive the light Of
the heavenly bodies by reflection from
a movable plane mirror two meters in
diameter (7S inches). This plane mir
ror is 10 inches thick and weighs $500
kilogrammes G,920 pounds). 1t has
been in process of grinding for seven
months and is not yet finished. 1t is
expected that a magnifying power of
5000 will be usefully employed, and oc-
casionally $4,000 may be used The

coed 1000, and there is great expecta-
lions from the working power of this

Topers in the Animal Kingdom.

1t is a curious fact that there are to-
pers innumerable in the animal king
dom. Bipeds and quadrupeds alike are
fond of alcoholic drinks, and although
some display aversion when first tast-
ing liquor, they soon acquire craving
for 1t. Chickens and ducks, after hav-
ing once tasted brandy, become abso-
lutte slaves to the drink. They refuse
tc eat, grow thin, and exhibit symp-
toms of detection when unable to OBJ
tain their favorite liquor. Monkeys

Keeping Stem.

Have you ever watched soldiers be-
ing drilled? Very often they have to
spend a long time just learning to keep
step with each other; one must not
march faster OF slower than the rest.
Often when a number of soldiers are
turning. those outside have to step
round. while the inner ones must just
keep step" or rank" lifting their
feet and putting them down again in
the same place, yet not standing still.
In I. Chron., xiii, where David's men
of war are described, all, we are told,
of those of Zebulon is, that they were
fifty thousand, expert in war, which
could keep rank; they were not Of
double heart" In the Christian war
fare there must be no standing still;
but it matters little whether we are
pressing forward in the forefront of
the battle, or simply fulfilling the lit
tie duties of everyday life, so long
as we are keeping our right place in
the ranks Of our great commander.

How Cold Crows Warm Their Feet.

report that there are an enormous
number of crows there, and they are
committing unheard of freaks. They
have been seen on the backs of the
sheep on several farms. A gentleman
stated that he saw three crows at the
same time on the back Of one sheep
and the animal did not appear to mind
them, but continued to walk about and

A Bird That Is a Real Wonder.

Possibly the rarest of all feathered
creatures is the "takahe'' bird of New
Zealand. Science names it Notornis
Mantelli. The first ones ever seen by
white eyes was caught in 1s49. A sec
ond came to white hands in 1851. Like
the first it was tracked over snow, and
caught with dogs, fighting stoutly and
uttering piercing screams of rage I'M
til overmastered. Both became the
property Of the British museum. After
that it was not seen again until 1879.
That years specimen went to the
Dresden museum at cost of $500.
The fourth, which was captured last
fall in the f1ords of Lake TIE Anau, in
New Zealand, has been offered to the
government there for the tidy sum of
$1,250. Thus it appears that the bird
is precious; worth very much more
than its weight in gold. The value,
OF course, comes from rarity. The
wise men were beginning to set it
down as extinct. Scarcity aside, it
must be worth looking at-a gorgeous
creature about the size of a big goose,
with breast, head and neck Of the rich
est dark blue, growing dullish as it
reaches the under parts. Back, wings
and tail feathers are olive green, and
the plumage throughout has a metal
lie luster. The tail is very short, and
has underneath it thick patch of soft
pure white feathers. Having wings,
the takahe bird flies not. The wings
are not rudimentary, but the bird
makes no attempt to use them. The
legs are longish and very stout, the
feet not webbed, and furnished with
sharp, powerful claws. The oldest
feature of all is the bill, an equilateral
triangle Of hard pink horn. Along
the edge, where it joins the head, there
is strip of soft tissue much like the
rudimentary comb of a barnyard fowl
