The Children's savings.

The children should be encouraged
to keep their small savings in the lit
tie individual banks that come for that
purpose. 1t teaches a child to take
care Of his money and not to spend it
foolishly. But is it not a mistake to
teach a child that the money he saves
is for himself alone, and to d at
the end of each year the sum already
in trust for him in the grown peoples
savings bank?" in II family each
child has two banks. For the first six
months Of the year the pennies col
lected by every child go into one OF

be put aside for the small owner until

Sea Animals In Fresh Waters

In the summer OF 1896. Mr.. A. T..
Low, of the Canadian geological sur
vey, made a journey through the cen
trail regions Of Labrador and revealed
u large extent OF new country. lie
travelled north for 500 miles, using the
little rivers for his canoe when posi-
BILE and crossing many portages. Ho
finally came to a lake fifty miles long
and from half n mile to five miles
wide. The lake stands 500 feet above
the sea and Is about 100 miles from II.
The explorers surprise was very great
when he discovered in this lake n large
number of seals which appeared to
be the common harbor seals or a close
ly allied species. In other words, ne
found sea animals In n fresh water lake
far from the sea and high above IT,
He learned that these animals are
breeding rapidly in their fresh water
habitat and that some of them are
killed every year by the Indians. Scar
Lake is the name he gave It.
His conclusion as to how the seals
came to be In the lake Is doubtless
correct. He found evidence all around
that this was part Of the region that
was submerged by the sea in the
Champlain or late glacial epoch. Az
that time the lake vas undoubtedly
connected with the sea and when the
land began to rise again, Mr.. Low says,
the seals having found the lake full
OF fish lost their inclination to return
TO the sea" So there they are living
today fully adapted to their new condi-
lions of life.
Similar instances that are still more
remarkable have been found In recent
years. In the great Siberian lake, Bal
kal, which Is 1900 feet above the sea
and hundreds of miles from 1t. are nu'
merous seals and q number OF species
OF marine crustaceans. or course they
never originated in fresh water and the
only explanation is that they came
into the lake at the time when nearly
the whole Of Siberia was below sea
level. The depression filled by the lake
Is Of enormous depth. The bottom In
some PARTS is th%ree-fourths OF a mile
below the surface, and In these depths
the sea animals continue to live and
thrive. They are undistinguishabie
from the phoca foetida Of ~Spitzbergen
waters, and the people in the neighbour
hood eagerly hunt the animals Tor
their skins, which are sold at large
profit to Chinese traders.
Awhile ago a British naturalist nam
ed Gunther declared that he had found
n number Of marine animals In the
waters OF the central African lake
%Tanganyika, about 500 miles from the
sea. II has since been found that his
report was correct, for the lake con
tains jellyfsh. numerous species o.
mollusks, prawns and protocol OF un'
doubted marine derivation. A part!
sent from Europe to specially study TIT
lakes animal life brought home un
doubted proofs OF the fact that Tan
ganyika was once connected with tn
sea, that ocean animals then foun'
their way to the lake, and when ~
rising land cut off the inland water
from the ocean the marine animals
adapting themselves to the new condl
lions, continued to live and produc'
their kind In Lake Tanganyika.

A Church with Courage.

The Walnut Street Baptist church,
fashionable and wealthy congregation
of Louisville, Ky, after some delibera-
ton has adopted a resolution urging
all its members who are in any man
ner engaged in the manufacture or
sale of intoxicating liquors to give up
that business and serving notice that
one year from date such members as
have not given up their Identification
with the trade in intoxicants will be
dropped from the congregational rolls.
Looked at from a worldly stand
point, this action appears severe. So
ciety recognizes in the traffic in in
toxicants source of widespread evil,
but 1t does not condemn all who are
engaged in that traffic; 1t limits its
condemnation to those who violate re-
strictive laws. So long as the COM
munity through legislation recognizes
the traffic as a legitimate human ne
cessity il follows that those who en-
gage in it, but respect the laws, are
entitled, so far at least as their world
ly relations are concerned, TO rank on
a par as regards business respectable
ity with dealers in shoes, clothing,
groceries, or other merchandise.
In the domain of morals. however,
this action of the Louisville congrega-
ton stands forth as at least a conspicu-
Gus evidence of consistency The hand
of forgiveness is not denied to any
penitent, but fair warning is given
that congregational sanction will not
be continued over conduct branded
from the pulpit as wrong. Not many
