Housekeepers will appreciate this

a visit to America, not long before his
death, he was invited to dine with a
certain college president in a south
ern town. Early in the meal the Dean

ply, "by telling you Lady As com

You would better try the soup. It's

consequence of the moisture of the

It is not difficult to distinguish between
the true and the artificial. The moral test
is the sure one. When conscience is sensi-
tive and the will submissive, and the life
consistent, there is no doubt about ones
spirituality. When the soul sings::.'1 de-
light to do Thy WILL o, Cod" and then
does delight to do Gods will, or does the
will of God from firm resolve, there can be
no doubt. When one loathes sin and tries
to leave .it-all sin, all kinds of sin-sin
against the body, sin against the soul, sin
against the neighbor, Gin again Christ and
the Father-there is no difficulty in reach
ing a decision as to the commences of
garden of the Lord is there. -Bishop John
Il. Vincent.

Tender Animal Mothers.

A wild beast tanner of long expert
ence tells some interesting things of
the affection of animals for their
young. He had an elephant once, he
says, who did all in her power to
spoil her young one. She fused over
it and cuddled it up SO that when over
time came for it to leave the cage
it was simply unmanageable. When
one of the men made bold move to-
ward the baby he was promptly butted
in the stomach and bOWled over in a
peculiar way which the youngster had
of expressing his feelings toward those
whom he disliked At last, by a ruse,
the mother and son were separated.
But there was no such thing as keep
ing them apart. The baby rubbed the
skin off it's forehead and trunk, try
ing to get through the bars, and both
walled so long and piteously that the
keeper was obliged tC put them to-
gether again.
A shy baby camel that passed
through the hands of this same train
er refused to look upon the world
except from it's tavorite station, be-
tween it's mothers legs. The mother,
too, would show her displeasure at
any effort toward intimacy by spit
ting violently at every one in sight.
The kangaroo also is very fond Of
her offspring, and will patiently carry
it about long after it is ready to hop
on it's own account.
But for a display of pure affection
the mother monkey beats any other
animal, and when there is an addition
to the family circle there is general
rejoicing. A baby monkey sticks fast
by it's mother, and asleep or awake
it seems always in her thoughts.

Firing at Unseen Marks.

Now that the United States govern
ment is experimenting in building a
naval cannon for which a range of
more than 20 miles is claimed, the
possibility is opened that some day
in the future there will be a battle
between ships and forts that are so
far apart that neither can see the
other.
Until the last few years the army
rather thought that it had the better
of the navy in the way of rifled can
non of immense weight and power.
Naturally there is limit to the size
and weight Of a cannon intended for
a ship: but for land defenses, where
the guns are fixed in place once ana
for all, there is no limit whatsoever,
and the sixteen-inch gun seemed to be
the last word
"But now, if the government sue
ceeds in getting a type of gun that
combines lightness with unheard of
mower, so that it can fire a projectile
to a distance of more than twenty
miles, the army will have black eye;
for a gun that can shoot more than
twenty miles really is of little use to
a fort.
This is because a ship cannot be
seen very much beyond that distance.
1t is hull down then, owing to the
curvature of the earth. And, of
course, if the ship is invisible, there is
no use in shooting at it.
