proved by a mechanical repetition of

adaptation of its principles to present

~revivals. Every mans work must be
individual. if it is to avail. Elisha did
differently from Elijah. but still in the
spirit and power of the former. Imi-
tation is always death. The man who
is hailed as "a second Spurgeon." or as
"a second Beecher," usually turns out
to be only a second rate nobody.
A BIG MAN AND SOME LITTLE
ONES.
1t was a trying hour for Elisha when
he started back over the Jordan after
the passing of Elijah. The eyes OF all
the sons OF the prophets We're upon
him; as peoples eyes always are upon
the new man-upon Mr.. Roosevelt at
President McKinley's bier. upon a new

There seems to have been a quaver in
Elisha's voice as he lifted the mantle
of Elijah and shifting, babe the waters
divide. Still he dared. even though
scared. Courage is courage, though it
trembles. The act proved to Elisha
and the ~on-looking company that he
was the head of ~ISrael's prophets, and
the successor of the Tishbite.
Right here came Il testing. The ons
of the prophets bowed to HINT is
easy to bow to the big-and besought
his permission to search for the body
of Elijah. These raw men of the
schools We're the original higher critics;
they thought that the spirit of Jehovah
might have dropped his precious our
den in some mountain fastness. The
stupidity of it-as If the Spirit could
not care for him whom He carries?
Elisha knew better. n denied the ig-
norant request. In time he was over
the 1ndecisfon of a man new to author
ity. or because. as a wise teacher. he
wanted them to discover by painful
effort what he perceived at a glance.
After all its screenings, honest scepii-
cism Is bound to com back to the
position which the spiritual illumina-
t1on of h centuries has held.
There are some people who never
look upon anything except in relation
to themselves. II the president comes
to town, or can be brought to town.
let us secure him for our dinner or our
club or our pet project; no thought
for the president. but only for them
selves. So the people of Jericho did
not stop to rejoice over the raising up
of n new prophet in Israel; their first
thought was of the city's poor water
supply, and the possibility of getting
the great prophet to relieve it. Elisha
must have sighed when the request
came to him. After all, though. 1t was
a recognition of his authority. and an
opportunity to be helpful. and Il type
of his mission rs a sweetener of life's
waters. so he acceded to the petition,
and healed the waters. even as Moses
had done at Marah.

s'ransc Myths of the Tibetans.

nave nulnberless TRANCE myths, one,
the most curious, pertaining to the sun
loon n stars. The sun is believed
to be an immense ball of yak meat
ana fat. whereon the spirits of departed
ancestors are supposed to feast, the
light being caused by its heated condi-
ton. The stars are portions of this
immense feast which, dropping to the
earth. give birth to animals for the sus-
tenance of suffering humanity. The
moon is Il lesser ball of similar texture

When sun o: moon fails to appear in

are undergoing a period of fasting and

DUTCH DRAUeHT DOGS.
Take the Place Of Donkeys in Belgium.
And Holland.

New York Tribune: In Holland and
Belgium the dog occupies the place
which the donkey does in several other
countries. In the former the sight of
a couple of dogs dragging along a
pushcart loaded with vegetables, flow
ers or shining milk cans is a familiar
one. They trot along underneath the
OF the sabot of the woman
who walks behind it to guide
1t by the handles attached at
that point. In Belgium the dogs are
hitched in front. as the Russians at
tach their horses to their droskies,
three abreast, and are guided by a pair
of rope reins fastened to a muzzle
about the nose of the dog in the mid
die. Recently the National Dog Cart
association. organized to %regenerate the
original race of Belgian mastiffs, held
Its first exhibition of cart dogs. The
Flemish breeders nave found that in
crossing the Belgian mastiffs with the
Great Danes, with the idea of increas-
Ing the size of cart dogs. and so Sc
curing additional strength, they made
a mistake. The result proved to be
animals with weak headquarters and
disproportionate limbs. Now they are
~endeavoring TO revive the original
stock.
The women and dogs Of these two
little countries are another evidence
that human nature inc canine nature
are the same the world over. When
one sees the white capped Belgian
milk woman with her dogs standing
ear a well. the woman having a bat
tered can slung ON her forearm, one
instinctively becomes suspicious. Uhe
suspicion Is confirmed when c.le dis
