thoughts to the search for some good
object in which | could be useful in
that position, and after much reflection
introduced a bill which, with the gen

law and is now a law of the state

than in the old way. with an ordinary

Snakes waste Little Time Eating.


A serpent will go for weeks, some
times even for months, without feed
ing. Then it may take three rabbits or
ducks. one after the other, at single
meal and afterward become torpid
while digestion proceeds. When, after
sufficient period of fasting, it gets
disposed to eat and a rabbit happens to
be introduced into its cage, it may
plainly be seen that the rabbits pres
ence is quickly noticed by it. The
snake will begin to move slowly about
till it has brought its snout opposite the
rabbits muzzle. Then, in an instant it
will seize the rabbits head in it's
mouth, simultaneously coiling its pow
erful body around it and crushing it
to death at once.
The action is so instantaneous that ii
is impossible for the rabbit to suffer.
Certainly it can suffer no more than
when killed by poulterer. The snake
does not Immediately uncoil it's folds.
but continues for time to hold its vic
tim tightly embraced. sometimes rock
ing itself gently to. and fro. Then it
slowly unwinds its huge body and once
more takes the rabbits head in its
mouth and swallows it.

In the wilds of South America many

~ constructed of ii couple of ropes
stretched across chasm, upon which
was spread Il rough kind of mating

Picked Railroad Ties.

Picked railroad ties are now being
used to a great extent all over the
country. 4 number of railroads. in
Guiding the Burlington. the Santa Fee
and the Southern Pacific, have plants
of their own in which the ties are
picked. How to preserve the ties and
add to their life and durability has
been serious problem for railroad
operatives ever since the early days of
transportation by rail. The constant
wear and tear of ties has necessitated
their replacement as soon as they were
perceptibly worn. A solution of chic

arranged process The ties are put in
large alright cylinders, the air is
pumped out and the ties are heated by
steam The chemicals are then pump

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Topic For the week beginning
March 20. "Missionary Meeting;
Heroes of Africa; Living
stone, Cox, MacI<ay, Good"

ethiopia shall haste to stretch out
her hands unto God
The interest in missions aroused
among the young people of the country
is one of the noteworthy events of the
times. 1t is one of the most hopeful
| indications as to the future of the
4 church.
Events move with such marvellous
rapidity that it is difficult to keep well
posted in some matters of great i'm
portance But the facilities put in our
hands for a clear understanding of the
work of missions makes it possible in
every community by little care to
make our people thoroughly intelligent
us to the progress, prospects and needs
of our church work in all lands.
Africa is the least civilized of all the
great divisions of the earth. Within
the memory of many who are not
counted old the whole interior of the
continent was marked on maps ''un-
explored" Now the project of rail
way from Cairo to Cape Town is ac-
tually under way
The progress of discovery around the
shores and through the interior OF
the dark continent is one of the most
thrilling of stories No one person has
done more to open this vast land to CIV
ilization and Contamination than did
David Livingstone, the missionary ex-
plorer, who died while in the very
heart of the wilderness.
Every league should arrange one
evening at least for a public meeting,
when addresses or papers should be
read on the work done by the men
whose names we enroll on our topic for
the week as Heroes of Africa" Much
interest will be added if a large outline
map can be hung where all can see the
places mentioned in the story of each
man.
Cox will ever be remembered In the
Methodist Episcopal church, not for
the great work he did either in ex-
ploration or evangelization, but because
of his indomitable zeal and faith as
the first Methodist missionary to Africa
and his memorable words, which have
become the rallying cry of the church,
Though a thousand fall, let not
Africa be given up"
The evangelization of Uganda is one
of the miracles of this age. No greater
triumphs of the gospel have been wit
messed in any of the nineteen Christian
centuries. No brighter examples of
heroism and Christian martyrdom have
been seen in any land.
These records should be given to our
people until their hearts thrill at the
recital, and this not merely to raise
more money for missions. 1t will have
that effect, but that will not be the
greatest gain. 1t will quicken the zeal,
broaden the sympathies deepen the
faith and elevate the hope of multi
tudes who hear. The home churches
will feel the inspiration of noble
achievement and the fires of revival
power will be kindled on the home al
tars Young people will catch the
CLEAN and give themselves to the work,
and the whole church will receive
divine uplift.

Three young men, who occupied one
of the upper boxes at the Lyceum last
Tuesday evening, were invited to leave
the han before the performance was
half over. The invitation was so
pressing that they left between the
the first and second acts. The young
men seemed not to appreciate the act

their disapproval by misses and throw

Master treated life as a stewardship,
insisting that all life is a gift, that a
faithful use of it is the one requisite
to successful living and that for its
use we must all give an account when
the period of our stewardship is ended.
So poorly have we learned our lesson

Partnership with God In Patience

Partnership With God In Patience.
The example of Gods forbearance
and the incentive of his trust help to
prepare us for that self control and pa
tient waiting which are perhaps the
most difficult arts of living. Preachers
of the strenuous life often forget that
for one who dares to act there must be
many who are compelled to wait and
to endure. 1t is not the charge which
commanders dread for their commands
1t is the waiting before the word to
charge is given. Action relieves the
tension of the nerves and occupies the
thought. The example of Gods pa
thence is not in itself sufficient in
centive in our time of need. God
waits because He knows. He sees the
end from the beginning and is never
tempted to gather unripe fruit, as we
so often are He asks us to be sharers
of His patience by the exercise of faith.
We can wait because we believe. He
trusts us in the partnership of work
and waiting, and we renounce and have
patience because we trust Him for the
end He neutrality-suspicious..
