homes we could realize that we were

mary object, but to discover what God
doing in the world, and 10 give Him
such help a we could! Il may seem Q
high and impossible idea, but the more one
thinks Of it the more II grows upon the
mind. W. are hidden by the apostle to
abide with God in every calling In which
we were called. We know that he claimed
70 be . fellow worker or colaborer with
God-and why should the significance OF
such q conception be reserved for the mis-.
sionsry or minister Of religion alone?
Nothing 20 degrades our toll a. the con-

that our work was with God, how eager,
how quick, how strenuous would be

Brain and Inteueet.

The exact seat In the brain Of the
highest intellectual faculties has
formed q moot point n science since
the functions Of the organ Of mind be-
gan to be Investigated with accuracy.
The general opinion localized what We
term mind" in the pre-fontal lobes Of
the brain. but BY another school Of
thinkers the hinder lobes have been
credited with performing q highest
cerebral duties. The balance Of evi.
dence Is decidedly in favor Of the for.
mer view. and recent researches and
observations by DR.. Phelps. an Amer
lean Investigator. would appear to as
sist In strengthenin the opinion that
the most important portion Of the brain
Is It's anterior region. In the course Of
the Investigations in question some
295 cases Of brain injury and disease
were examined. In all ave two II was
noted that interference Of extensive
nature with the pre-fontal region re-
suited in serious disturbance OF the
mental faculties. Less severe injury
produced less marked effects. These
facts parallel the researches Of other
investigators. and they are further SUBJ

Electric Power n, Niagara Falls.

The original Development Of 5000 horsa
power on the American side Of Niagara
Falls is soon to be supplemented by an
equal amount on the Canadian shore dur
ing the coming year, and contracts arc al.
ready signed which contemplate a total Of
not hss than 10000 in units OF 10000
horse power each. It is, in fact, expected
that about $4,000 horse power will soon
about 81 10000 300 annually. Within ten
years it is prophesied that a million horse
power. at least, will be furnished by MIA

fail to indicate any cffec. on the Falls

Bearing Fruit.

Are YOU still bringing forth fruit? What
ever you age, you may grow in goodness,
in knowledge, in love aud purity and IN
good works. You may bear the burden OF
declining physical powers in a sweet and
heavenly manner. Second childhood may
be but the renewal OF the spirits youth.
and an obcdient answer to the suggestion
of our Saviour-"Except ye become as lit
tie children. ye can in no wise enter the
kingdom of heaven" The older you grow
the more lovely and lovable you may be-
come, until holiness to the Lord IS writ
ten on your forehead. Do not cease to
value time because you are 80 near It's
close. What may one year do for you. or
what may you do in one year? You MAJ,
still give love aud sympathy, tenderness, II
nothing more. When the Son Of Man com.
eth, shall He find the fields white to the
harvest, and you not reaping! Shall He
find the sheaves bound and ready, and
you not gathering them in because you are
growing Clubhouse Haywood.

vent seasickness. 1t may be briefly de-
scribed as q submarine boat supporting a
platform. The boilers. engines and steer
ing gear are within the submarine boat,
which is submerged twelve feet. From the
submarine boat rise vertically two float
ers." by which communication IL main

The IL er contains cabins and rises thirty
feet above the sea. The inventor says that
It will neither roll nor pitch. this result

displat cment is 63oo tons, and 1t has a
speed of nineteen knots.

It Is certainly easy to say, and It Is very
common to say, that the realities OF the
spiritual world are things that cannot DC
confidently gotten at. Just as certainly
was it an easy and very natural thing Tor
the dcnizens Of the o.den centuries to say,
or at any rate to think. that the great
lights that shonc in the heavens could no:
be gotten at, or that o man could not hoid

his distant neighbor 5000 miles across the
sea, bit such intercourse is now matter OF
history. aad as to the heavenly bodies that
were on~e but N impossible and uninter'

certain point contemplates them to-day
with as assured and rs STEADY 4 thought as
that with which it marks the flight OF q
bird or the futter Of a leaf.
In the realm OF the spiritual, on the con.
trary, not a great deal has been achieved
vet that the spirit of man can encourage
itself with or that it can found great ex-
pectations upon and profound anticipa-
tons. So tar al such matters arc con-
