In Switzerland the studies of many years
have determined the fact finally that the
glaciers are not only steadily receding, but
that their rate of recession is becoming
greater each year. There are only a few
glaciers that still grow. The Boveyre gla-
cier, in Canton Wallis, is the only one that
has increased since 1892. The famous Rhone
glacier has receded almost eight hundred
yards since 1876.
Etiquette is the religion of Japan. No
people in the world are as polite as the
Japanese. AS a nation the Japanese are
more cleanly than any other people. In
nearly every way they are superior to the
Chinese, but they lack the Chinese con-
science and the doctrine of commercial
honor. London and New York merchants
sell many Chinese merchants goods on
credit. but they lave learned by bitter ex-
perience that the Japanese merchants fire.
quently fail to pay their debts.

Of grace. He that refuses to give his
whole heart to Christ is doomed TO perish
without Christ. He that saves for self
only looses; he that loses for Christ's sake
is sure to save. Would you secure treas
ures in heaven? Then learn to give, and
give bountifully. God loveth the cheerful
giver. This is not to be limited to gifts
Of the purse; for the offerings OF silver
and gold are only a part of what our
Master has a right to; we must freely give
Of everything that we nave freely re-
ceived.
II you have the heart to pray, give your
prayers; answered prayers will be a part OF
your heavenly inheritance. You that have
acquired wisdom and experience, give your
counsels TO those who need them. Give
your personal labors for Christ and the
salvation Of souls; no wealthy Christian
ought to compound with his Master by
drawing a bank check in lieu OF personal
Christian work. Those who have not much
money. or counsel. or Christian work to be-
stow, can afford the blessing Of godly lv-
ing, and a holy example. And so a ChristIy
life may be a constant expenditure; even
as the MONDAY sun overhows his golden
urn OF radiance, and is none the poorer In
warmth and brightness.
Such a life is a constant accumulation OF
heavenly treasures. 1t is a laying-out here
for Christ, and a laying-up yonder. Every
good deed is recorded. every victory over
sin has its crown; every service for our
Lord is remembered. for He hath said. the
reward is with me TO give to every one as
his work shall be-" Labor on, pray on,
suffer on. battle on, o faithful servant OF
the crucihed Jesus, Every day viii add TO
your treasures in heaven; and so shall you
be made meet to be partakers Of the giori-
Gus inheritance Of the saints in light.

REORGANIZATION

1 think FIVE was ONE by wild stories
OF lands TWO in tropical seas.
Where nature displays savage glories,
And people do just as they please;

Where A, b, c, SIX. never bore,
Where billets and bills are not posted:
TWO Edens-with serpents galore.
So, FOUR to these islands Elysian.

A fine ship is at anchor outside the bar.
She could easily enough enter the river on
a high tide, but this being the November
neap tide, a delay of at least one week is
unavoidable. Her last trip, a dangerous
one, was rather a tramp voyage, no at
tempt at a creditable record being made.
She visited countries teeming with savag
life in the antipodes, sailed over waters
colder by far than ice, and again, at a later
period, through a dense growth Of seaweed.
Her Captain is an admirable officer and
sober gentleman, but is always courteous
to strangers, and her crew as correct In
discipline as a corps of troops. and always
ready for any duty. WEBFOOT.

and as IL frequently devolves upon me to see
them through their saltatory reveis 1 have
plenty CT time to figure out how far they
travel In the course OF an evening After
much conscientious computing. L have set
tied upon these figures as a conservative es-
innate of the number of miles covered by
an interchangeable dancer in one night:
In a square dance the distance Travelled
Is about half a mile This may sound like
an exaggeration. but IL you reduce the term
TO yards or feet and recall the various
maneuvers OF the square dance you will
see that the figure is not a bit too high
"T~hree-quarters of a mile for the waltz
may likewise seem a trifie excessive, but
II Is really a very modest estimate
In a schottische. polka OF two-step one
travels about the same distance as In the
waltz With these basic figures for a start
ing point, further calculations are easy.
In the average programme for an even
ing there will probably be four square
dances, which will make a distance OF two
miles: six waltzes. a~ggregating four and
a half miles. and six or seven miscellaneous
numbers which easily foot up four miles
more.
All told. the persistent dancer win trfp
the light fantastic 20 the extent OF ten or
eleven miles every time she goes out for a
nice social evening at a hop This seems
like a pretty strenuous enjoyment. but the
sweet young things seem 20 thrive on H.

THE GRAVEL ROAD.

Wherever piece Of graded highway
on the black prairie soils of the coun-
try has been graveled a very practical
object lesson has been given of the
value Of this method of making good
road out of a dirt road. We think that
two applications of the gravel are
much better for the road than where
the whole amount is put on at once,
the first coat of four inches to be al
lowed to incorporate with the muck
soil and form good foundation for a
later coat of about four or six inches
more gravel. Thus built, supposing the
roadbed is properly drained, such n
road will last indefinitely, with only a
scant repairing from year to year.

HOW HE COT A START.

Ter years ago he was Il common la-
horcr living In Il small western town.
He had wife and four children, and,
ns his labor was of the unskillcd sort,
he rarely received more than Sl50 per
day. Deductng his lost time, his aver.
age earnings were not over 800 per
year. Ii IL easy to see that with such
n small income lie would have but little
left after barely supporting himself
and family. He had the honorable am.
bition to do something better; but, be-
ing without capital TO make Il start, 1t
seemed to be hopeless case. Finally
he hit on this plan: lie rented Ave
acres of good land near his home at SG
per acre. lie hired a man to plow and
drag It,, then he planted one acre of
onions, one acre of cabbage, one acre
of potatoes, one acre of popcorn, half
an acre of turnips and half an acre of
melons and cucumbcrs. Aside from
what he paid out to have some horse
cultivation of the crop he, with his
wife and children, took care of these
crops. Now here Is the result: Three
hundred bushels of onions Mt 40 cents,
$210; cabbage crop, $50; potatoes, 500;
popcorn, $40; turnips, $50; melons and
cucumbers, $50; total of SiG5, or AS
much, deducting what he paid out fou
rent and help, as he had ever earned in
n year when working for others by
the day. In addition he had all his
family wanted to use of the crops
grown, and the entire crop was grown
and disposed of inside of five months,
leaving him seven months to work out
as he had always done. or course he
could have done better If he had had
his own team and tools. The case Is
cited Just to show what man can do
who has absolutely nothing but his
hands to work with. 1t proved get
ting out of the woods, n step In ad.
vance for him, and others may do the
same thing, perhaps not quite so well,
perhaps better.

A WET SUMMERS CONVERSATIONS.

While crop losses were severe and
almost total in valley locations during
the past summer by reason of the un-
usual floods all through the west and
northwest territory, the compensations
of wet season are not to be over
looked. Throughout all the region so
drenched five previous years of short
rainfall ruined the water powers, made
brooks of the rivers, dried up the
springs, exhausted the subsoil mois-
ture, converted lake beds into corn
fields, killed the trees both in grove
and orchard and ruined the pastures.
The downfall of thirty-six inches Of
water and in many localities much
more during the months of May, June,
July and August has wrought out a
marvellous transformation. The rivers
are once more bank full, every spring
a-spouting, the earth saturated to n
depth of ten feet or more, the lake bed
cOrntield Is converted into a lake once
more, all tree life has made phenOm-
enal growth, and pastures have been
knee deep, as in June, all summer. 1t
is all in line with natures. way of bal
ancing things up, and all will feel bet
ter to think on the blessings brought
by the rains rather than on the losses
they may have entailed.
