Does anyone ask, What is going to
straighten this out and bring about order
out OF existing chaos?" The answer is
by simply putting into operation the re-
suits of the deliberations OF the inter
national meridian conference, which met
in Washington at the invitation of Presi-
dent Arthur in October, 1884 expressly
to establish prime meridian and uni

Some of the Big
Things of the World.

FLOWER-The largest flower In the
world grows on the island of Mindanao
one of the Philippine group. 1t was dis
covered there some years ago by a Ger
man explorer. 1t is a f1ve-petaied bios
som nearly yard wide. At a distance
the buds look like great brown cabbage
heads: A single flower has been known
TO weigh over 200 pounds. The five petals
of this immense flower are oval and
creamy white, growing round a center
filled with countless long, violet-hued
stamens. The natives call it the bol9.
Specimens sent to Europe were recog-
nized to be of the species Raff1esia, a plant
discovered in Sumatra, and named after
the English governor of that isIand-Sir
Stamford RaffeS. The bolo is only to be
found in the neighborhood of Apo, one
or the highest volcanoes in the Philip
pines, or about $500 feet above the level
of the sea.
GRASS-If we walk knee-deep in grass
we say it is a fine crop, and the times we
see it shoulder high are rare. In India
there is a species called dab grass, which
reaches fourteen feet high. And there is
a grass four times as high in the Indian
forests. If trees are near the boughs
furnish it support There is besides a
grass which grows 100 feet high; it is the
giant bamboo, and the tallest in the
world.

HONESTY AND CONFIDENCE.

HONESTY AND CONFIDENCE
Honesty Of word and purpose is con-
coded to be a requisite to suhtantial and
worthy success, although Prof. Wilson
points out that ''he that speaks the
truth will find himself in sufficiently
dramatic situations"
Some one has said that he who lies
must needs have a good memory to
keep his lies from treading on ca III
other; and Pope puts the matter in
these words: HE who tells d lie is not
sensible how great the task he UNDER
takes, for he mast be forced to invent
twenty more to maintain that one"
Sin" says Holmes has many tools,
but a lie is the handle which fits them
all" Care in making promises, and
equal care in keeping them, is one Of
the virtues Of honesty, and is also a
valuable financial asset
He that hath care Of keeping days
of payment" says Lord Burleigh, lis
lord Of another mans purse" HE that
promises too much means nothing" is
an old maxim, and perhaps it was the
knowledge Of that fact which led
Shakespeare to remark through the

Venice"

Life Ltkened to a Ra e.

The Christian Endeavor topic for the
week Of March 10 is found in 1st Corin-
th1ans tx, A27. 1t is a temperance
subject. In the verses of this lesson
Paul Hkens the Christian life to a race
and to boxing contest. To the resi-
cents of Corinth these illusions would
have particular force. They were
prominent features in the isthmian
games which were celebrated near Cor
NTH and which were of the greatest in
tereSt to all it's inhabitants The is
thmian games were the chief glory Of
Corinth and at the time when Paul
wrote had even thrown the Olympic
games into the shade.
These Illustrations gave the apostles
a splendid text upon which to preach a
sermon on the subject Of temperance,
not sobriety Temperance in drink). but
temperance in all things. One of the
chief requisites of success in these attn
letfc contests was, temperance in all
things. Every man that strives for
the mastery Chat strives to win in
contesD is temperate in all things"
The contestants in these Grecian games
were required to be temperate. They
had to develop great powers Of en-
durance, and this could only be done
by long training and self denial. They
had to be pure, sober and enduring;
to obey orders, to eat sparely and SIM
ply, and to bear effort and fatigue for
ten months in advance" Temperance,
is also required in the Christian race
and i'll the fight of faith, and if the
athlete was willing to endure so much,
TO practice such self denial for the fad
ing crown of isthmian pine, how much
more willing we should be to deny our
selves, to be temperate in all things,
that We may win an incorruptibla
crown-a crown Of righteousness. a
crown Of eternal life

Sunday Study.

s s ore he High Priest.
Inc international Sunday school lesson
for March 10 is found in Matthew XVI,
oI-oo. The memory verses are 62-64 The
golden text is: Thou art the Christ, the
Son of the living God" Matt. xvi lS.
The date is Friday, April Z, A. D. 80 The
lesson covers the appearance Of Jesus be-
fore the high priest Caiaphas, and then
before the Sanhedim, Or the full court.
During the trial occurred denials Of Peter
and the testimony of false witnesses.
AnsWerest Thou nothing? What is it
which these witness against Thee?'.
Thus the high priest spoke to Him after
these false and disagreeing witnesses had
testified. But, as they lad proved moth
ing, there was nothing to reply to-
Priests were chosen to have compassion
upon their fellows and to offer sacrifices
for them and obtain for them forgiveness
from God, but here is a priest with a
seemingly helpless prisoner before him,
whom he is determined TO condemn even
though there be nothing against Him
when the false witnesses testified, He
held His peace and answered nothing 1t

was the usual custom for those who were
under sentence of death. I'm those rough
ages prisoner under sentence OF death

Holy One Of God. Splitting was regarded
by the Jews as an expression Of the
greatest contempt. Seneca records that
twas inflicted at Athens on Aristidos

the lesson are as follows
l. A blameless life is the best an
sWer to hatred and SANDER.
"A lie that is half a truth is ever
the worst of les
to be silent.
4. The truth Of Jesus words about
himself is proved by His works.
.. To this day false witnesses against
Christ do not agree together.
.. The friends of Jesus ought not to
keep company with His enemies.
4. We all need to pray against sudden
and unlooked-for temp tations.

A WRINKLE IN COOKING STEAK.
The proper way to cook a beefstealx is
to broil it, but oftenttmes it may happen
that it Is not convenient, and the steak
must be fried. This may be done very
satisfactorily if a little thought is given
to the matter Put an iron saucepan
ever the fire and let it become very hot;
then rub the pan with a piece of but
ter and put in the steak and quickly
brown one side; then turn 1t and brown
the other side. This VIII keep In tho

steak three minutes; again turn 1t and

SOUSA
John Philip Sousa, the famous band
master and popular composer, is an eX-
ample of q musician who does not allow
diScoura cement to prevent his pushing
himself ahead. When a boy, he prac-
ticed playing the violin until he was
able to study with a violin performer In
& theater orchestra. Continuous WORK
finally secured him the leadership of the
orchestra; but there were far greater tri-
umphs ahead. More work brought to
the great musician the position Of band
master of the Marine band at Washing
ton. Here the peculiar form Of aris-
tocracy existing in the United States
army made the ambitious director a non
commissioned officer, with no hope OF
promotion. One of his mettle could nol
endure the CALLING feeling of subordina-
ton, so he started concert band of his
own. At the death of Patrick Gilmore,
his band held a high standard, and when
the opportunity came to play at Man
haitian Beach, he was able to accept 1t.
His yearly income is now estimated at
$40. 000

the fact, known to all, that the man
was fighting long battle against mortal

which made any productivity seem like
a miracle. The heroic invalid was seen,
through all his books, still sitting be-

with undated courage, with increasing
ability, volume after volume Of gayety,
of boys story books, and of tragic ro-
nance. This courage and heroism
illumine all his books with d personal in

present long battle with death. We
read of his illness, his spirit; we hear
how he never gave up, but continued his
works by dictation and in dumb show
when he was too weak to speak. This

he at once examined it's structure In

should bear his name down to posterity
he, in a more prosaic fashion, fastened
to Philadelphia, obtained a botany and a
Latin grammar, the latter, with the aid
OF the village schoolmaster. enabling
him to follow the description Of Lin
naeus. Through correspondence with
London naturalist, Coilinson, he learned
to preserve and transmit specimens. He
purchased ground near PHILADELPHIA
since acquired by the city as a park,
In which was soon established an ex-
tensive collection of plants, shrubs and
trees, both native and foreign. Through
Coil1nson's influence he was appointed
botanist to the king, and Travelled ex-
tensively on this continent, sending
many plants to England in return for the
exottcs which found their way into his
garden. Thus, our first native bontan-
