Make Them Known to the Lord and He
 VIII Find a Way.
 Hannah Whitehall Smith once knew q woman who carried a heavy burden that was driving sleep away and under mining her health. She has told the following incident of how it was ban ished:
 One day when it seemed especially heavy, she noticed lying on the table near a little tract called 'Hannah's faith" Attracted by the title, she picked 1t up and began to read it, 1it- tie knowing that 1t was to create a revolution in her whole experience.
 "The story was of a poor woman who had been carried triumphantly through a life of unusual sorrow. She was giving the history of her life to a kind visitor on one occasion, and at the close the visitor said feeIIngIy, Oh, HaRsah, I do not see how you could bear so much sorrowi'
 T did pot bear it, was the quick reply; the Lord bore 1t for me
 Yes. said the visitor, that is the right way. We must take our troubles to the Lord.
 Yes, replied Hannah, but we must do more than that; we must leave them there. Most people, she contin- ued, take their burdens to him, but, they bring them away again. and are just as worried and unhappy as ever. But take mine. and leave them with him, and I come away and forget them. If the worry comes back, I take it to him again; and do this over and over until at last just forget I have any worries, and am at perfect rest.

lNEBRIETY AMONG ANIMALS.
Monkeys Rats, Birds and Even Insects Love
 fntoxieants.


 Tntoxicants.
 It is q curious fact that there are torers innumerabls in the animal king dom. Bipeds and quadrupeds alike are fond Of alcoholic drinks and al though some display aversion when first tasting liquor. they scon acquire craving for it.
 Chickens and ducks. after having once tasted brandy, become absolute slaves to the drink They refuse to eat, grow thin and exhibit symptoms of detection when unable to obtain their favorite tipple.
 Monkeys and apes are passionately fond of spirituous liquors. Of these, Buttons wfne-bibbing chimpanzee was a shining example, and Brehm, the German zoofogfst, owned several man drills that drank wine regularly and did not disdain brandy.
 Herbivorous animals frequently be- come intoxicated. innocently enough, through eating decaying fruit. In orchards oxen and cows. after eating overripe apples. have been seen to dis play all the symptoms of drunkenness. They stagger. their eyes lose expres- sion, and they grow sleepy.
 It seems that animals are susceptible to alcoholism in proportion to the de- velopment of their intelligence. Ele- plants 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 intoxi- cants.
 Among birds the parrot takes first place as an habitual toper. Insects have many opportunities to become in- toxieated, and it is the most active that most frequently avail themselves of the chance. There is an aromatic. intoxicating fluid in linden blossoms for which bees show an especial fond ness.
 Instances have been observed where gwarms of bees regaled themselves with the poisonous linden nectar un- til they exhibited all the signs of in- toxieation. Hundreds fell helplessly to the roadside to be trampIed under foot.

When ripe it turns yell low, soft and sweet, but the natives take it green and bake it in an oven till the rind is black. This they scrape off and eat the inside, which is soft and white like the inside of new baked bread, having neither seed nor stone, bnt if it is kept above 24 hours It is harsh

LfftGhris1Up.

And I. if be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me"
 That is not so much a promise as a description of how righteousness works
 We could afford to spend less time persuadiug men, and more in iIlasTa- tton Of Him. The genuine thing draws, and does not need editing. Ali Hsen want to be saved, but they would rath- CT be damned than be fooled.
 Conversely, the Scripture is just as true: And I, if be cheapened and be- Titled, will repeI all men from Me.
 Everybody turns away in disgust from q little" man in "big" place. and ln this wrong-headed but clear headed old world cheap and nasty Christianity will not go Men do not reason in the abstract. They go by their eyes and ears, mostly, and the average Christian is the vulgar defni- tion of Christ.
 Until Christianity shows more power over Christians it can make no strong appeal to the world If Christ save not the found, what message has He for the lost2
 If all men are not drawing to Christ, 1t is because He is not being Tilted up" That proposition seems unan- i swerable.
