day afternoon he told me that he had
wanted to come TO church the Sundays
that he had been absent. but that he just
had to work every one of them
And then with all this-wifh his rela-
tions to the church and with the eternal
hope with which it fills our poor hearts,
what of the darkness which gath cred
about its close? It is only right that this
question should be answered somewhat ::
have thought much about it and consi-
dered it very carefully, because I am put
in my place not only to preach the gospel
but also set for the defense of the
gospel. And 1 believe the answer is
found in the few words-inalequate
pay = overwork = nervous prostration-
depression of spirits-ending in an un-
balanced mind.
Last Sunday the collect for the day in
the service of the chnrch was: 80 God
who knowest us to be set in the midst of
80 many and great dangers that by reason
of the frailty of oHr nature we cannot
always stand upright; grant to us such
strength and protection as may support us
in all dangers and carry through all
temptations: through Jesus Christ our
Lord
If instead Of his being at work on his
books he could have been in church as he
desired, and have heard and joined in
that prayer it may we'll be that his life
might have gone on long time and then
have peacefully opened into the everlast-
ing light and glory of God.
To those who so sorely afflicted and
bereaved I can only trust myself to say,
81 commend Jou to God and to the word
of His grace, which is able to build you
up and to give you inheritance among
all them that are sanctified'' and to Jesus
Christ, who is able to keep you from fall
ing and to present you before the Fathers
face ssnot having spot or wrinkle any
such thing" Amen.

Animals That Weep.
From the New York Sun.


He cried like calf Is remark some
times heard. 1t IS no disgrace for a calf to
cry and he sheds tears in quantities when
his emotions justify them. 1t is even easier
for him to cry than for many other ami
mails, because his lachrymal apparatus is
perfect and very productive.
scientific writer writing in La Nature
says that the ruminants are the animals
which weep most readily. Hunters nave
long known that deer at bay cries pro-
fusey. The tears will roll down the nose Of
bear when he feels that his last hour Is
approaching. The big. tender eyes of the
giraffe fill with tears he looks at the
hunter who has wounded him.
Dogs weep very easily. The dog has tears
both in his eyes and voice when mis- beloved
master goes away and leaves him tied UP at
home. Some varieties of monkeys seem to
be particularly addicted to crying, and not
a few aquatic mammals also find it easy to
weep when the occasion requires It, Seals
In particular are often seen to cry.
Elephants weep prOfusely wh-n wounded
or when they see that escape from .heir en-
ernies Is impossible. The animals here HELL
toned are the chief ones that are known to
weep, but there Is no doubt that nany
others also display similar emotion.

Their Golden Wedding.

Full fifty years ago
When fell the Christmas snow
Two happy people took the that made them

She with her blue eyes tender,
He the alert defender
Brightly they trod the fowery way up the steep
hill of life.
Always they stood together,
In fair stormy weather.
Bearing each others burdens, sharing each pleasure
bright.
She with her counsel tender,
He the alert defender
Onward, still onward, vending up to the mountans'
height.
Then they down together,
In fair and stormy weather.
Some little quieter, perhaps, but loving still and
true
And so. hands locked, hearts tender,
He the alert defender,
She with her blue eyes smiling the STEEP rough
way beguiling
With cheer of song and story
Both wore white crowns of glory
Each, looking upward knew that home and heaven
awaited
Two hearts nat, truly mated,
Had lived and loved and waited
Till, loyal, tried and true, they meet beyond the
blue. MARY A. DENISON.

Why Indians Paint Their Faces.

from IeaFsoH Magazine.
The fact of the matter is that every paint
mark on an Indians face Is sign with a
definite meaning which other Indians may
read. When an Indian puts on his full war

by his own bravery, but also with the special
honors of his family or tribe. He may pos
sess one mark of distinction only. or many;
in fact, he may be so well off in this re-
spect that like some English noblemen. he
is able to don a new distinction for every
occasion. Sometim he will wear all his
hOnOrs at one time.
Among the Indian tribes is one designated
by the symbol of the dog fish. painted in
red on the face. The various parts Of the
fish are scattered heterogeneously on the
surface of The face; the peculiarly long
snout Is painted on the forehead, the gills
represented by two curved lines below
the eyes, while the tail is shown cut in
two, and hanging from either nostril. When
only one two parts of an animal are
painted on a mans face, 1t is an indication
of inferiorty: when the whole animal APP

Distance Overcome.
With the invention of the steam engine
the world shrunk at bound to a twentieth
of its former size. Its vast distances ceas-
ed to be formidable. Where the numbering
stage coach or the Flooding caravan took
weeks the flying express covers the dis
lance In few hours. The trip across this
continent used TO be matter of life and
death. Now 1t Is matter of 500, and
take your ease as You go. Without the rail-
road a Close-knit nation thousands of miles
broad, such as this country, would have
been an impOSsibility. In 1928 the first
steam railroad was opened between Stock
ton and Ddrlir gtOn, England. A year later
similar experiment was tried at Quincy
Mass, where the engine hauled stone for a
distance of four miles. The first passenger
road in this country was the Baltimore and
Ohio, opened in 1880 with a mileage of four
teen miles. Today there are 2lU9O6 miles

extent that now there are more than 1000
such street car hines in operation in the
United States, with a capitalization Of 81

dimly known before the wonderful century,
now lights our cities. In the United States
there are half a million arc lights and about
10000. 600 incandescent lights-the latter be-
ing equivalent in light-giving capacity to
800 100000 candle tips such as they used in
1900.
While the railroads have served to Diff
fuse the population from one end Of the
land to the other, another invention has
served to centralize 1.-THE elevator. Be
cause of 1t the huge sky-scrapers, the i'm
mense fiat houses and the great factories
have been made feasible. Formerly, when
Shanks. his mare, was the fashion, people
had to climb stairs This tended to low
buildings and the consequent spread of pop
uiation. The elevator has changed all that.
Huge caravansaries teeming with human
beings accommodate many as formerly
could be crowded into respectable towns.
The elevator makes practicable the centrali-
cation of commercial interests which is the
basis of our great cities.

they construct them of steel and iron, and
so carefully are the plans developed that
the architect can say how many bolts will
be required in the construction of a sky
scraper, how much each beam can support
where each piece of iron belongs. Wooden
bridges have been supplanted by huge steel
structures. Even stone towers are being
abandoned for the lighter steel. The age

periments OF Samuel F. B. Morse, inventor
Of the telegraph, signaling was done by
means Of fires on mountain tops. or by
waving flags. Morse revolutionized this in
1887 when he announced the success of
his experiments. The first telegraph line
IN this country was opened In 1874. In
1899 there were 9O4 633 miles of wire In use
in this country; II 1893 157 messages We're

Photography and Printing.
Photography is a product of the last hun
dred years. To have ones picture took
in ye olden times required considerable
money and more patience. for 1t took some
time to paint the portrait. Daguerre's da-
guerreotype. the forerunner Of the photo
graph, hewed the way for the developments
in this line Of the last ten years. Photog-
raphy and color printing together have been
among the mightiest educational influences
the world has ever known. Appealing to
the brain direct through the eye, they have
taught more swiftly and more widely than
is possible to any other agency. To science
their aid has been inestmable.
No man can judge of the influence of the
printing press, which did not reach any
considerable development before 1900. In
1900 the principal daily papers were pub
lished in Boston and New York city. They
were marvels of staid conservatism. 1hey
permitted no news younger than week to
creep into their columns. AS for the paper
on which they were printed, respect toy
age prevents a description. The type,
handmade and hand-set. leaned either all
one way or in any direction most COM
Portable. 1t may have been superlative
work for those days, but nowadays new
type is cast while being set: paper comes
in rolls from two to four miles long; presses
run off 5000 complete newspapers an hour
The press, which is the most powerful agent
of progress. Is in itself typical Of the ad
vance Of the century.

The Riddle of the Century.


Russia the riddle of the beginning, Is
still the riddle Of the end of the century.
Europe is not yet all Cossack, but the dan
ger seems as great as it did to Napoleon.
In the last fifty years Russia's progress in
Asia has been amazing. She has overrun
central Asia to the Chinese boundary and
to the edge of India, and the railroad has
followed close on the heels of her Co.'S
sacks. She has built railroad across ST.
IBERIA and is settling the country rapidly.
and she has eaten into the northern rim
of the Chinese empire. She has established
manufactures and is developing exhaustless
natural resources. Her immense territory
is all within the temperate zone. 1t Is con-
tiguous. and there seems no reason why
this century should not see a Russian
growth to the eastward as remarkable as
that of the United States to the west.
One race that is not white and one only,
has taken part in the century's progress.
