MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

The late General John M. Palmer
used to enjoy telling of being mis-
taken for a person of greater dignity
than the President of the United
States.
"When I was military governor OF
Kentucky" said he, "a disturbance
occurred in some town in the interior.
I was at a distance, but was needed at
the scene. There was no train, no
carriage, no buggy to be had. The
only vehicle available was a big gilded
circus chariot left by some stranded
show company. l didn't like it, but
there was nothing else to do, so I got
in. You may imagine I cut a great
dash as I drove through a small town.
People turned our iii droves to see me
pass. When I left the town behind
me and reached the plantations the
negroes saw me and stared with open
mouths. They followed me at a re-
spectful distance, until presently they
we're joined by an old, white-haired
preacher, who, on seeing me in my
magnificent chariot, raised his eyes
and his arms on high, and in a voice
that stirred all within hearing, cried:
"Bress de Lord, de day OBJ judg-
ment am cum, an dis gemman am de
Angel Gabriel hisself. Bredren, down
on yo' knees and pray, fo' yo' hour am
hyarP"-Chicago Chronicle.

Il VALUE OF SERVICE.

We all desire to do great things; to
occupy conspicuous posts of service in
the Masters vineyard. We are at
times inclined to envy those who are
doing some grand work for Him. How
we wish that we had the same oppor-
tunity to show our love for His cause !
But do we not often fail to realize
that even if these noble men and wo-
men do far surpass US in everything
that goes to make a useful life, there
is still much that we can do in u own
limited sphere?
After all, f~aithfulness to Him, and
His love for us, does not depend upon
our position in life. The little loving
sacrifices that we are able to make in
our humble situation are just as accep-
table to Him and are just as sure of
reward as the great things u more
fortunate fellows are doing. He does
not value our love by the noise we
make. The cup of cold water, given in
His name, will be far more acceptable
to Him than the large sum of money
given to the Church by some one who
wishes to be praised for his generosity.
Let us take courage, then, in our
humble efforts to give expression to
our love for Him in little helpful min
~istries. He knows how we long to
serve Him, and has called especial at
tention to one who, though humble,
yet "did what she could" and consid-
cred her devotion worthy of eVerlast-
ing remembrance N His word. Shall
we resolve that we will serve Him as
faithfully as this, ever doing what we
can? Such service is possible to every
child of God.-George D. Gelwicks, in
the Presbyterian.

BED QUILTS.

They are sometimes considered
neither artistic nor economical, and
the making of them called a waste of
time, remarks a writer in the Ameri-
can Cultivator, yet the fact remains
that there is scarcely a home in the
land that does not contain one or more
patchwork quilts. 1 am glad to know
that the old fashion of piecing quilts
is being revived, and that it has be-
come popular among young ladies in
some sections, who like to meet for a
pleasant afternoon chat, and watch the
blocks grow beneath their busy fingers.
Fancy work of some kind seems to be
a necessity to most women, and who
shall say that this method of saving
pieces of dresses worn by mother,
aunt, cousin or sister is not a wise
one? The quilts will last for years,
and a glance at them will bring back
faces of those they loved in years
gone by, and memories that are sad
n sweet.
There is no better way to teach lit
tie girls to sew than to give them
some pretty calico pieces and show
them how to put them together to
make a quilt block. Very simple pat
terms are chosen at first, such as the
nine patch or star, but they will soon
acquire considerable skill in sewing
the seams and getting the corners fit
ted nicely. Their first efforts are US
ually utilized for a cover for dolly's
bed, and they will then be ready for
something more difficult.

A PLEA FOR SINGLE BEDS.

Two in a bed is the usual custom of
sleeping, in the United States at least,
and also in Canada and England. But
in Germany and France, single beds
are the rule. The latter plan is the
more healthful and comfortable. It
is gradually coming into use in this
country. Single beds involve more
linen, more work in making beds, and
more washing, but I never knew a
family to return to the old plan after
once giving single beds a fair trial.
Especially in summer is the single bed
to be preferred, or even sleeping on
the floor, to two in a bed. Many fam
lilies declare they never knew what
comfort was, during hot summer
nights, until they adopted single beds.
[ might add a word of protest against
allowing babies or young children to
sleep with old people. The latter GER
tainly draw upon the vitality of the
former. This is probably true as be-
tween any ~bedfellows n of whom is
sickly Or less strong than the other.
Consumption and other diseases have
often been communicated from one
bedfellow to motherhood House
keeping for August.

GODS PART IN IT.

The mystery of pain and evil meets
us on every side. We are not wise
enough to give reasons that explain
it. Comfort lies rather in casting
ourselves upon the goodness of God,
and believing in the b~enevolence
which we all feel, although we cannot
explain or understand it.
A gentleman went home from
church one Sunday angry and resent
full. The sermon had not been a help
to him, and he remained moody and
silent during the dinner. After the
meal was over he sat by the bedside
of his little girl, who for a year had
been lying there helpless from an in
jury to her hip. She noticed his mood,
and endeavored to draw him out of it.
did you hear a good sermon to-day,
papa" she asked.
"No, I did not" he answered bitter
ly. II heard a sermon that made me
angry. The minister told us that
there is a providence in the things we
suffer; that our troubles are blessings
in disguise; that a good God sends
them upon us. Do you think 1 believe
that? Do you think I could love a God
who would send such trouble upon my
little girl?"
So he poured out his bitter words
against the sermon, which, indeed,
may rashly have undertaken the ex-
PLANTATION of mysteries which are mex
plicable.
The little girl did not understand
all he said, and before he had finished
her eyes were closed and a tear had
trickled out from under each lid.
"My dear child" the father said, ct
ought not to have brought my anger
here to you. You have been so pa
tient, so brave! I ought not to have
added to your burden!"
at isn't that, papa" the little girl
said. "But 1 couldn't help thinking
while you we're talking-I've suffered
so much-I've tried so hard- haven't
always been good, but I've tried. You
know better than I do, but I was
thinking-if I hadn't believed all the
time that God had something to do
with it, I don't think I could have
borne It'll"
From that day on, although anxious
months followed, the father shared his
little daughters comfort in the be-
lief that "God had something to do
with it" 1t was a simple creed, and
it was adequate. By it both father and
daughter were cheered and supported
during the weary time that elapsed
before her health was restored.
There is much in life that is beyond
our wisdom. We need never be
ashamed to admit it. But a simple
faith in the goodness of God is some
thing which does not ask or need any
explanation. Yet it is the one thing
which makes grief ~supportable, and
brings light and peace.-Youth's Com
p%anion.

sOME QUEER KINDS OF EYES.

Look at the next spider you find, and
try to find the eight shiny little eyes
at the anterior end, some above and
some put under the edge of what we
may imagine to be its forehead. To
examine these parts to best advan-
tage hold the spider in tweezers, or it
may be better to use a spider killed by
being dropped into a bottle of diluted
alcohol. These eight eyes vary in ar
rangement and in relative size in va
rious species of spiders,-in some they
may be arranged in two rows, in others
in three; some may be very small and
others large and prominent; and so
on,-but there they are; rather poor
eyes, near-sighted, looking in several
directions at once, and the spider, who
can never shut any of them, is sure to
see everything that approaches, unless
she is asleep.
For some purposes it may be. con
v%enient to have eyes hat roll up and
disappear at the approach of danger.
And these are exactly what the snail
has, situated at the end of two long
and sensitive palpi, or feelers. When
all is quiet their owner extends these
organs, and you can see at their tips
small round knobs upon which the
eyes are placed. But if you touch one
of the palpi, or even jar the snail a
little, the eyes begin to back into these
feelers as the tip of a glove-fnger
may be turned in, and they no longer
see the danger. Queer animal, that,
which dares to peep at the world only
when it is in perfect safety, and re-
fuses to look when danger threatens! !
But the snail never had much reputa-
ton for bravery, and therefore has lit
tie to lose.
But there are many animals whose
eyes are not perfect enough to form
a complete image, or even parts of an
image, but which can receive only a
sensation of light and perhaps, in
some cases, an indistinct impression
of color; and among those that can
in this way perceive light, it is proba-
bic that the sensation is more like
what we call heat than it is like actual
vision. In the simplest of these cases,
the "eye" consists of nothing more
| 4Lo- 1S+41o n &c 1o-1-o o1or1nr
matter, known as pigment, placed
around the outer edge of a nerve. You
know how much warmer on a hot day
a black dress is than a white one, and
a black sunshade seems to collect more
heat than does a light one. In a sim
liar way the little black mass of pig
ment absorbs the heat in the strong
light, and by this simple means the an
imal may be able to perceive the di-
rection of the light and regulate its
actions accordingly. A greatly i'm
proved form of this pigment-eye is
seen in a tiny crustacean, that is, a
crab-like animal, about the size of a
pinhead and found almost everywhere
in fresh-water ponds and bitches. It's
name is Daphnia, and its head, when
seen sidewise under a microscope,
looks like that of a bird, with its large
round black eye. But if you see it
from above you will notice that in
stead of having two eyes it has but
one, and that one in the center of the
head, and thus upon whichever side
you look you see the same eye. This
queer organ does not come to the sur
face anywhere, which is in this case
