dedicated them, will look after them

when he is old he will not depart from
it, He may wander away for awhile

But ] learn also from this subject
the beauty Of Christian sobriety. The
meat and the wine that were to come
to Daniels table were to come from
the kings table. Well, Daniel had
no right to take that food. The king
was heather, and like all the heather
was accustomed to ask a blessing be-
fore he partook of food, and in that
blessing they always dedicated the
food to the gods. So that If Daniel
had taken this food he would have
broken the law which forbade the
taking of food dedicated TO idols He
chose pulse. 1t was a miracle that be

Some people talk as though that were
a kind of diet which would make a
man swarthy and competent to do the
duties OF this life. That is not the
lesson at all. But for a positive mir
ac!e Daniel would have dwindled
away, and when God for his self de-
NAL puts upon him this benediction he
puts a benediction upon all Christian
sobriety.

Temptation TO Dissipation.


But. oh, how many temptations to
dissipation! With so many things to
tempt the appetite, how many tempta-
tions to gluttony! With so many
sparkling beverages, how much temp

before you this morning the mothers

wept at the graves of the inebriate,

cup, the rudy cheek from which rum
has wormed the rose, your souls would
up and cry, "Begone, thou dream Of

The Gentle Reader.

What has become of the gentle read
er? asks Samuel NJ. Crothers in The
Atlantic. One does not like to think
that he has passed away with the
stagecoach and the weekly news letter
and that hencefOrth we are to be con-
fronted only with the stony glare of the
intelligent reading public. Once upon
a time-that is to say, n generation or
two ago-he was very highly esteemed.
To him books were dedicated with long
rambling prefaces and with episodes
which were their own excuse for being.
In the very middle of the story the
writer would stop with word of apol-
ogy or explanation addressed to the
gentle reader or at the very least with
a nod or n wink no matter if the fate
of the hero be in suspense or the plot
be ineXtricably involved.
Hang the plot"' says the author. 81
must have Il chat with the gentle read
er and find out what he thinks about
it,
And so condolences were interchang-
ed, and there was gossip about the uni
verse and suggestions in regard to the
Queerness of human nature until at
last the author would jump up with:
Enough of this, gentle reader; perhaps
it's time to go back to the story"

alarmed the gorillas, and they fed
with Il bark and howl, the old male
swinging from bough to bOugh like an

On another day Miss Kingsley and
her two guides came suddenly upon a
solitary male gorilla, who. as usual,
had appropriated forest glade as a
park for his private enjoyment. Fu-
rious at the intrusion, the brute, in
stead of fleeing. came stumbling to-

again ran forward until quite close.

Some 30 or more American scuIptors

rative groups which are to have a
place at this Exposition. These are
TO be nearly all original productions
under the master direction of Karl
Bitter. 1t will be the most elaborate
use OF decorative sculpture ever under
taken at an Exposition, there being
more than 125 groups. These will
adorn the fountains, bridges, entrances
to buildings and other salient points
Besides the pools and fountains, with
in the several courts will be a grand
and stately canal which will surround
the entire group of buildings. In the
southern reaches Of this canal are
artificial bodies of water known as the
Mirror Lakes, from which lagoons ex-
tend in several directions, thickly set
with aquatic plants of rare species.
In addition to the sunken gardens
and other floral features of the courts
will be the horticultural exhibits in the
southern part of the grounds. These
will consist of several acres of beds of
the finest productions of the best nurs-
cries and greenhouses of the western
world. The competition for supremacy
will be very keen and the lover of flow
ers will have n rare opportunity to
make a comparison of the merits OF
the productions of competing growers.
