He Goes Before You.

He goes before you, o my heart!
Fear not to follow where He leads:
He knows the strength each task de-
mands.
He knows the grace each trial needs.
He's lust a little farther on
Along the dark and lonely way,
His bleeding footprints you may trace,
He goes before you all the day.
He goes before you, o my heart!
Through deepest depth, DER highest
height;
He knows where turks the ambushed foe,
And what the battles you must fight;
He sees the pitfalls you vii! meet,
The place where you. will faint or fall;
The WEAKNESS, the PAIN the tears
He goes before; He knows it all.
He goes before you. o my heart!
He does not ask that YOU shall bear
A single pang He has not borne,
A single grief He does not share:
He beckons on through toll and woe,
Through storm or calm or tempest
And S yoa. shall see Him, as he said,
For He shall lead you home at last.
He goes before you, o my heart!
Still follow on through gain or loss,
And for the joy that's set before,
Despise the shame endure the cross:
The path your falt ring steps must take
Is one His nail-pierced feet have trod;
Through garden, mount and riven tomb
He goes before you up to God.

Rare AIbino Deer,

An albino deer, with a coat as white
as snow and eyes a delicate pink, was
killed in the Canyon mountains OF
southern Oregon recently. 1t was one
of the very few albino deer ever seen
in the mountains of the west. Old
hunters tell of seeing them, usually
separate from the main herd, at vari-
GUS times during the early days; but
they were too shy to be approached
near enough for shot. The deer
killed in the Canyon mountains was
with four other deer at the time it
was found, and had not this been true
the hunters would not have taken it
for deer. It's white coat made it far
more conspicuous than the remainder
of the herd and it is perhaps for this
reason that albino deer are Stunned
by their mates.

FISH HARD TO. KILL.
Ineased in Mud, It Can Be Carried
fl Across the World. =.

incased in Mud, It Can Be Carried
4" Across the World. -.
= A very unusual demonstration was
recently given by Prof. Denny to his
students at Firth college, Shefdeld.
Among the most ancient animals still
lnhabiting our planet is the so-called
mud fsh of Africa. This creature is
worthy of our respect, if only In con-
sideration> of it's antiquity, which
dates far back in the early ages of
the world. The most striking feature
OF the mud fish is the possession OF
lungs as we'll as gills. On the ap-
proach of the dry season, in its nat
ural haunts in Central Africa, it hol-
lows a chamber in the mud and en-
tiers upon rest extending over many
mouths, during which time it is with
out access to water, and breathes only
air. =.
While in the mud these creatures
may be dug UP and survive even after
a journey across the world in this dry
state. Prof. Denny received one Of
these mud blocks not long ago. In
the presence of the students the hard
block was placed in warm water and
after being thus exposed for nearly
two hours the fish, that went to
sleep in tropical Africa many months
before, awoke and came forth from
it's temporary sepulchre to find itself
in a bath of tap-water in the biologi-
cal laboratory of Firth College.-New
York Herald.

Poor Pens Sarcasm.

Penhecker was, in vulgar parlance,
"catching it hot" from his better half,
for he had stayed an hour later than
usual at his cuban objectionable
offense in Mrs. P.'s eyes. That ener-
getic lady, having vituperated her
spouse in the hall as he took off his
great coat, at last stopped for breath.
1t was then that poor Pen tried the
effect of sarcasm.
DO you know the difference, my
DEAR" he said, coolly, 'between your
mouth and that street door,"
Difference between-No," said
Mrs. p, taken of her guard.
'Well, if you can't tell the differ
ence, you might shut one or other of
'em, and let the neighbors find out
which is which"
Mrs. P. did shut lone of 'em"-but
it was not the former.

THE GREAT RGlNIAN

teresting to see, as we have already
seen, how .humhly and how simply he
writes of his defects He says, Il
have no genius for war;" He finds 1t
hard to learn this business-warfare-
and at the same time to practice it.
He excuses Sullivan's defeat. "All OF
u.s." he says, want experience in NOV
ing men upon large scale; our
knowledge of military matters is linn
ited."
AS critic of war he was the first
to insist again and again that the COM
mand of the sea was all-important.
What the British fleet will do puzzles
him, but not the plans Of his adver-
saries on land. He predicts Bur-
goyne's disaster, and tells Greene that
such defeats as his are victories.
We have been told that he was no
great general. If, with half-fed, ILL.,
clad men, with constant lack of arms
and powder, and at last with inertia
everywhere and country in ruins; if.
with such means he baffled a foe rich
in men, money and sea power; if with
little he accomplished all he set out
to do, there must at least be label
for this form of greatness.
Turning from his fiery courage and
reckless exposure in war, there are
in these letters many evidences of ten
derness and humanity. They are
shown early in life, when he says that
he would readily die in torture to
save the frontier people from Indian
| cruelty. They appear in his extreme
unwillingness to make reprisals on
innocent men. He steadily. refused, as
he says, ITO avenge cruelty by cruel
ty." He reproaches general for such
conduct, and pleads mercy for the
Tories while Sir Henry Clinton is car
rying on a savage warfare of murder
| and rapine.
| This man had no children. He was
| the ancestor Of nation. Let no repe-
| tition of his praise lose for you the
| true value of the man. He left to us
the heirs of his renown, a record of
unfailing courage, story of heroic
conduct, an example of lifelong duty
the unequalled life of an unequalled
| day.-From an address by DR.. S. Weir
Mitchell.

ILL =, Reached Morocco Court.
II the Sultan of Morocco, Muley
Abdel-Aziz, loses his throne, it per
haps might be due to the discomfort
of his subjects seeing him adopt sc
precipitately European manners and
habits. The sultan disregards this
danger, however, and when he wants
a thing European he must have it at
once.
One night there was great mise
in front of the residence of an Eng
lishman inhabiting Morocco. 1mme'
diately the soldiers of the palace
struck the door violently, exclaiming:
"Daba! Daba! (quick! quickly. The
master wants all the sardines you
have in. your housed"
Tie Eng1ishman was not a sardine
merchant, but handed over what few
boxes he had, and learned later that
only a few hours before foreign min
lister had presented to the sultan q
few boxes of sardines, which were
opened in the harem and partaken OF
by all the inmates.
Such a sudden frenzy was created
for them that on the morrow special
rakkas was dispatched to Tangier.
with orders to bring all the sardines
in the place.-New York Tribune.

One warning utterance Sweet; -
Then faint AT first and low,

Hark! what a torrent gush!

Has fooled his fancy so
To scorn of dust and heat?

Feel the fresh breezes blow:
And see, through flag and rush,
Cool water sliding slow
Sing on, sing on, o, Thrush!
Sing on. What though thou beat
On that dull bar, thy foe!
Somewhere the green boughs meet
Beyond the roofs arrow: -
Somewhere the blue skies show,
Poor hearts with hopeless woe
Somewhere no black walls crush
Sing on, sing ON, o. Thrush! III

see too much of it, and would some

My purpose to-day is to speak to
you of Washington as find him in his
written words, where most he seems

what I got out of months OF pa
tient study of Mr.. Ford's collection of
his letters. .
These are in fourteen volumes
l. hit thousand pages in all. He was
the most productive of American writ
ers. There are three thousand docu-
ments, some two thousand entirely
from his own hand. Mr.. Ford tells
me that, in all, this untiring man has
left us about ten thousand letters.
None are mere notes, and the letter
of that day was no trif1e.
The handwriting demands word
of comment. How clear it is! How
steadily the same, with never a sign
OF haste! I have seen the letter he
wrote to announce Arnold's treason.

CAUSED HEAVY LOSS
SERIOUS CHARGE MADE AGAINST
THE ROBIN.
New Jersey Fruit Grower Alleges
That Depredations Committed by
the Birds in His State Involved
Loss of SO 100000.

The amazing statement is made on
what seems to be the best authority
that the law protecting robins enabled
those birds to destroy $4,000 900
worth of fruit in New Jersey during
the last season. ~...-
This is the plant Of Henry Jerolo-
man of Hilton, N. j., who is known
throughout the United States as king
of strawberry growers" In urging q
repeal of the state law protecting
robins from slaughter Mr.. Joroloman
says:
II have been fruit grower for
more than thirty years, only in a
small way, having about eight acres
in fruit, one-half being in strawber-
ries. Each season for more than
twenty-five years I netted between
$4,000 and $4,000 from the four acres
of strawberries.
For the past ten years, or since the
law was passed protecting the robin,
l have received little more than one
half of that amount. This season
(1903), although I had the same
amount of land in strawberries, did
not receive over $1,000, although I
had one of the best crops for the past
fifteen years. Fully one-th1rd or more
of my finest and largest fruit was
picked by this bird.
II have watched single robin at
work; he would run along a row,
picking at the largest fruit only, and
in less than two minutes I have
known single bird to destroy two
quarts of my largest fruit.
"They never stop to eat up single
berry, only hop along each row, max
ing hole in each large berry that has
commenced to turn red on one side.
thus destroying the fruit for market.
my loss this season, a very low
estimate, was fully $500 on strawber-
ries alone, and caused by the robins.
This is not the only fruit the robins
destroy. Their destruction Of early
cherries and red raspberries was
complete this season.
LAS soon as the first cherries show
ed red side the robins went at hem.
From ten to twenty birds could be
seen from daylight until dark all the
time in each tree, and in less than
three days they did not leave me a
single quart of" good fruit; all you
could find would be the stem, pit and
the green side Of each cherry still
hanging to some Of the trees.
II had about three acres of grapes
this season. I employ force of girls
to cover each bunch of grapes from
June 16 to July S, to protect the
punches from mildew, rot and birds,
putting on about $4,000 bags, but the
robins soon found out that there was
something good in those bags, and
during fogs and damp mornings, when
the paper bags would tear easily, the
robins would tear open the bags and
pick each bunch before they we're
ripe enough for market, not leaving
me enough fine punches for the fairs.
"The records kept by the state will
show that there are over 10000 farms
engaged in horticulture and fruit
growing, nearly all much larger
growers than myself. Now, taking
my loss this year of strawberries
alone $500, which is a very low esti-
mate). and putting each grower on a
par with myself, $500 loss by each Of
the 10000 growers will make the
total loss S. ,0O0."-New York
