Whom the Prince Imperial Died.

\ strange story Is being told in iul-
perial circles in Paris regarding tho
death of the late Prince Imperial. On
the 1st of June. 1879, lady who was
one of the most enthusiastic supporters
of the NapOleonic regime gave grand
fete in honor of her birthday, and at
the same time of the Prince Imperial.
who had gone out to the Cape. After
dinner there was a display of fireworks
in the park, the principal set pieces
being the Napoleonic emblems sur
mounted by imperial crowns. The
fireworks went off with the greatest
success until it came to the lighting OF
the imperial crowns. when, to the gen.
eral horror. not one of them would
take light in spite of every effort.
All of them remained unlighted while
all the other designs went off perfect
ly. The failure was looked upon as an
evil omen, and with reason, for two
days later came the news OF the death
of the prince in Zululand. A calcula-
tlon of the time was then made accord
ing to the difference of longitude, and
1t was discovered that at the very mo-
ment when the imperial crowns re-
fused to light the prince fell dead un-
der the spears Of the Zulus.
There would, perhaps. have been less
skepticlsm about this remarkable COIN
cidence II the story had been pub
lished Immediately after the event.
and had not been kept secret for near
ly n quarter of century. - Vanity

Ragballs-Prepare a number OF car

unwinding their balls to discover the
contents, which may prove to be a
thimble. a bundle of jackstraws. a
Japanese top. or any little comical con-
ceit.
The same idea might be applied to
the always pleasing popcorn balls:
then the knick-knacks must be first

from the candy used in making these
balls. Pleasant mysteries and sur
prises are always popular at fairs and
the more that caIi be invented the

world. They have power because he
Is power.
South America.
South America has been called "The
Neglected Continent" because the at.
tentlon OF Protestant churches and
Missionary societies in North America
has so generally seemed to pass over
from this field-as we often overlook
what is nearest to us-to countries
that are more remote.
One reason for the general inatten.
ton to the needs of South America
doubtless is the fact that like all Span.
ish America the continent has been
pcrvnded by the activities of the Ro-
mish Church and the impression con.
sequently prevails that it is adequately
Christianized.
The one who has been called South
Americas apostle is Captain Allen
Gardiner whose claim to distinction
rests on his sufferings and death in
the attempt to reach and evangelize
the inhabitants of TERRA del Fuego.
The population of South America is
about 37000,000, of which less than
100000 have been reached by the
gospel.
Only the edge Of South America has
been touched by missionary effort.
Mission stations are to be found in
Guiana, on the coast of Brazil, and in
Chill and Argentina. There are very
few elsewhere.
South America has not quite 400
Christian workers-about one to every
100000 souls No wonder it has been
called The Neglected Continent"

At first they Were inclined to assume
that this was the long-anticipated

Brine Pumped Up Like OIL.

There are many salt deposits in the
country which are made available. not
by mining, but the pumping OF brine
from their vicinity. Through 4 largo
part of Michigan, for instance. and
from the central part of New York
State, out as far as Buffalo, there are
beds varying in thickness from 112 tn
800 feet. and lying from 600 TO 2G08
feet below tie surface. All through
these two regions. as well as in North
ern Ohio, wells have been sunk. and
the brine is pumped up like oil. Fresh
water springs supply the water. mo-
doubt. and this, flowing over and
through the solid salt, dIssolves the
latter, and puts 1t within mans reach.
In few places there are salt springs
which eject their mineral-laden fluids,
without coaxlng.

"who Are the Praying Ones?"

1t is said OF, Charles G. Finney, the great
evangelist and preacher, that he always in.
sisted on the spirit OF prayer power to
prevail with God, as absolutely indispens.
able in a successful Christian worker. The
fact was very marked in all the powerful
revivals where Mr.. Finney labored. Per.
haps not the many were led in this way,
for as in our day. only the few hidden ones
got down into the deem places with God.
but there were always those who learn the
secret of the Lord as He loves to reveal it
to the willing and obedient; and these Mr..
Finney considered as mes important allies
in carrying on revival.
His question on entering place to begin
meetings, was, not who will help in the
preaching, but who are the praying ones.
Has there been a sp..it of prayer poured
out upon any in the community? Who
