An Arab Spy outwitted.

Once at least in Egypt the loss of his
eye in an earlier campaign proved a
great service to Lord Wolseley and his
army. He could get no information of
the enemy's strength or position. An
Arab was captured prowling around
our outposts and was brought before
him. 1t was ten to one the sullen fell
low knew everything. Lord Wolseley
questioned him. The fellow answered
never a word, standing stolid between
the two soldiers. At last happy idea
struck the general. He said in Arabic:
at is no use your refusing to answer
me. for | am wizard and at wish
can destroy you and your masters. To
prove this to you l will take out my
eye. throw it up, catch it and put it
back in my head" And, to the horror
and amazement of the fellow, Lord
Wolseey took out his glass eye, threw
it up, caught and replaced it. That
was enough. The Arab capitulated
and the information he gave the staff
led to Arabis defeat.-London Globe.

The Lord and the Word.

The very humanness of the Lord in
His earthly life, the very limitations Of
the nature which He took from men,
brought Him near in sympathy to those
whom He would help. They made Him
approachable, they made Him intelligi-
BILE as He could not have been If He
had not been the Son Of Man. The
same Is true of the written word. A
word in divine language, in forms of
thought foreign to men in their weak,
suffering life, would not be useful. Men
could not approach it. They could not
understand it. They could not receive
comfort and strength and healing from
it. Therefore, the Lord has made His
word also to be the Son of Man.
Helper.

vAsTNEss OF ST. PETERS,.


Large objects Appear small In the
Great Cathedral.
During recent ceremony in St. Pc
ter's, Rome, one Of the crystal chande-
liers suspended from the ceiling began
to creak ominously. and the people be-
meath it hastily scattered. In a mo-
ment the mass fell and was dashed in
to thousand pieces on the floor below.
In st. Peters few days before when
the workmen were suspending these
chandeliers they were taking them out
Of piles of numbered boxes, for st. Pc
ter's, like a theater, has many proper
ties" and is decked in a different man.
ner for it's different ceremonials.
Cords run over pulleys fastened far
up aloft, and with these the chande
hers were hoisted to their places. St.
Peters is so enormous that the eye
there is continually deceived. The
chubby cherubs at the holy water font
look to be the size of ordinary babies,
yet they are nearly seven feet tall, and
a man standing beside them looks like
q dwarf. When the workmen were
hosting these chandeliers from the
floor, a traveller noted with amazement
that the masses of crystal were over
eight feet high. Yet when hoisted to
their places far up In the dim heights
they looked about the size Of mans
head.
Workmen In st. Peters are called
"sanpietrini." They take their name
from the basilica "San Pietro"-"san-
pietrino." plural "sanpietrini" They
have a set of lofty scaffolds mounted
on rollers. These they move from place
to place about the vast church. They
are not unlike our fire departments
water towers. Ladder after ladder
runs up the scaffolding. and by their
aid they reach places from 100 to $50
feet above the floor. Other ingenious
scaffoldings are used for work on the
inside Of the dome. Seen up there the
"sanpietrini" look like flies crawling
on the ceiling. The top of the dome Is
about 400 feet above the foor.-St
Louis Republic.

to the accepted superiority of the

Training a Horse.

The horse is a logical and therefore
teachable animal. Once convince him
that locomotive or any other object
of terror is not really dangerous and
he viii never shy at it again. Every
year accidents occur because the har-
ness breaks or the vehicle upsets, and
then the horse runs away But such
accidents are unnecessary. Any horse
can, with little pains be taught to
hold back a carriage by his hind quar-
tiers as well as by the preceding. To
have wheels come of and straps and
other things hitting his legs should be
part of every colts education.-Co

Every Roman had the use of the
public baths on payment of about half
a farthing. These were not such struc-
lures as we call public baths, but superb
buildings lined with Egyptian granite
and Nubian marble. Warm water was
poured into the capacious basins
through wide mouths Of bright and
massive silver. The most magnificent
baths were those Of Caracalla, which
had seats of marble for more than
1000 people, and those of Diocletian,
which had seats for 5000 people.--Na-

Infidelity has its fashions but its
root changes not. An evil heart is at
the bottom of all its manifestations. 1t
takes on divers forms at different eras
and under different circumstances, but
1t still shows that its vitalizing source
is permanent heart of unbelief. Moth

newed soul and give clear and saving
apprehensions Of divine truth.-Pres-

against temptation, but strong soul.
