zlGzAG VALLEYS.
The Processes of Nature by Which
They Are Formed.

Ihey are FOrhGOs
Volcanic action has in most cases pri-
marily determined the configuration of
the crust of the earth, but the chief
agents in the formation of tortuous val
leys have been streams flowing above
ground or below the surface. These
naturally take the course of least re-
sistance, dislodging the softest soil, and
thus gradually enlarge their channels
and are fianked by rising ground.
1t has been ascertained by well
known expert that the serpentine course
of the valley of the Cheddar gorge is
caused by the jointing in the limestone.
The rock, he tells us, is traversed by
two systems of joints, which appear to
be vertical or nearly so, intersecting ap-
proximately at right angle. The joint
surfaces form salient and re-entrant an
giles, the former opposite to the latter,
so that if the two sides of the glen were
brought together they would seem to
interiock. Water above or below the
surface would soak along these open
joints and widen them into assures, and
this movement, sometimes to the right
and sometimes to the left, would follow
zigzag lines, so that the natural course
of the current would by its continuous
action excavate valley Of this unusual
haracter.--London Answers.

The Birtb Of ON Ills steps.v

Since the Christian Endeavor society
figures very prominently in connection
with this famous book the following
will have an added interest; What
suggested to you the writing of In His
StepsY" was asked Rev. Charles NJ.
ShCldon. He replied: when ! went to
my parish, found myself in Il sparsely
settled district. and | found, too, that
| didn't know enough to preach two
sermons OIL Sunday Moreover,
found that the young people would
come out to hear.a story, and | didn't
want the business men to come out
Sunday evening since | found that
their home life needed them there, so
wrote In His Steps sitting out on
the porch with the thermometer for
days 104 degrees in the shade, and
read it to my Sunday evening audience
n chapter or two at time"

The law of the earth life is futtua-
ton, change. Men change in their
likes and dislikes. Children are inter-
ested In trinkets. toys and gewgaws,
but when they become men and wom-
en- no more of these for them. Riches
interest for a time but men either die
or leave them, OF they fail to give them
comfort in old age. The soul demands
something nobler, more enduring than
these. But to love these temporal,
nonsatisfying things is to become so
absorbed in them as to fail to consider
the interests which are eternal and to
live and die thus loving, thus absorbed
in the flesh life, is to pass naked, hope
less, unsaved into the eternal world.
"Then who shall those things be which
thou hast provided ?'-Religious Tele-

For 1 hate with deepest hatred,
liz q hi..n Alan rr., t.e- ..R 1.

For hate with deepest hatred.
Hate him as the gates of hell,
Who within him one thought harbors
While his lips another tell.
Such was the expression of an an
cient heather who had felt in the
depth of his soul the stirring of some
thing of the divine spirit of truth and
revolted from the torment of falsity.
How clear the word of God is in its
declarations on this subject! Jehovah
is God who will not compromise with
evil. AS our ideas of the divine ma
ture enlarge so does our appreciation
of truth as the unity of His being
grows upon us. If God is and all things
by Him exist and consist, then truth is
the self consistency of all things. Fal-
sity is the rebellion of a free inteIli-
gence against this unity and in its ma
ture is the absurd, the monstrous, the
self destructive evil. 1t cannot stand.
All things stand linked together for
it's destruction, as it stands opposed to
the existence of all. The very nature
of God is pledge that the false can
never be successful. 1t may be al
lowed to continue, for how long no
one can say. In moral universe the
presence of the untrue and false may
serve to emphasize the beauty and har-
mony, the goodness and indispensable
excellence Of all which it antagonizes.
But no profit can come to any creature
from sharing in the false. Only loss
can result from it.
Jeremy Taylor says, "a prosperous
lniquity is the most Improbable con-
dition in the world"
The very violence of the liar is not q
sign of strength in his cause, but of
weakness.
1t is ever, as Wendell Phillips OBJ
served, "when man does not believe
what he says he does he persecutes the
man who contradicts him; when he
does believe it, he sits quiet"
Lord Bacon said that mo pleasure is
comparable to standing on the vantage
ground of truth"
yield to falsehood, every real interest
dictates that it be resolutely resisted
No permanent good can ever be Sc
cured through lies and subterfuges
The heaviest penalty visited upon him
who falsifies is the loss of the power
to know the truth. His own hand
closes and bars every gateway to the
| right, the good, the beautiful, the true.
Carlyle In his counsel sounds like
some Old Testament prophet when he
cries: eff thou hadst all the artillery
of Woolwich marching at thy back il
support of an unjust thing and infinite
| bonfires visibly awaiting ahead Of thet
to blaze centuries to come for thy vic
| tory in behalf of it, 1 would advise thee
to call Haiti to fling down thy bator
and say, In Gods name, nor VIVA
will thy success amount to? If thu
thing is unjust thou hast not sue
ceeded. l tell thee there is nothing els,
but justice. One strong thing l fine
here below-the good thing, the tru
thing"

They were enlarged again after he had

Serpent worship, once very widely
diffused, survives in India. Sometimes
when Hindoos find cobra in some
crevice In the wall of their house it
will often be reverenced, fed and pro-
pitiated, and if fear or the death of
some one bitten by it induces them to
remove it they will handle 1t tenderly
and let it loose in some field. When
Hlndoos are bitten, they have far more
confidence in their magic spell or
"muntra" than in any medicine, even If
they do not scruple to make use Of
medical aid.

rhe Introduction OF Forks.

Forks are articles of such common
household necessity to us that we hard
ly realize that there was time, and
not so long ago either, when forks were
entirely unknown. A knife was used
at the table to cut up food, but the
food so cut was afterward conveyed by
the fingers to the mouth. Rich and poor
alike were accustomed to this method
and so thought it perfectly correct.
1t was about the year 1900 and in the
reign OF James |. when forks were first
introduced into England. This piece
of refinement" we are told. was de-
rived from the Italians.

by this constant communication of d.
