THE JUNIORS MERRY BELLS.
The large attendance, of the Juniors of
Emmanuel Church, every Saturday after
noon is not hard to account for. Their
merry bells are kept singing by appro-
pirate gifts suggested by the various sea-
sons, and holidays. A few weeks ago,
Geo. Washington's birthday was kept,
in the gift of a basket and a lot of beauti-
full cherries to each member. Next the
marble season, suggested a gift of a box
of so marbles, and a shooter to the boys.
Last Saturday about A o'clock p. m. the
Church doors opened to let out about 80
boys, and girls, each carrying a little
chick, their easter gift. 1t 10 needless to
say hat the Junior League of Emmanuel
Church keeps all it has and gets more all
the time. Willie Diver, on behalf of the
League, last Saturday afternoon surprised
the Pastor with a gift of about So worth
of fine handkerchiefs. He declared the
gifts must not be allowed TO 60 one way
all the time. 1t was their turn now. The
Pastor, in receiving the gift, said he sup
posed he would be wetting them with
tear some day, when the Bishop sent him
away from them to some other place.

Wireless Storm WARNINGS.

For some time it has been posi-
bic to foretell future storms by
means of wireless telegraphy, many
instruments having been construct.
ed for this purpose which are
founded on the same principle, that
of simplified wireless telegraphy.
The method OF obtaining this result
is to place on a high point-as ele-
waited as possible-a metallic rod
from 20 to 26 feet in height, called
the antenne or shaft, which is de-
signed TO receive the electric waves.
The storm discharges engender
waves, which, after entering the
antenne, are led to the warning ap
paratus by means of conducting
wire. This warning apparatus is
formed of the famous small glass
tube filled with filings which was
invented by M. Brandy, these fill
ings being non-conductors of the
electric current except when they
are acted upon by storm waves.
The circuit on which the tube is
placed is charged with the current
from a pile of three elements and
the whole is connected with a bell.
If there are no storm waves the
current of the pile does not circu-
late and the bell remains mute, but
when the waves occur the tube al
lows the current to pass and the
bell rings. With an antenne twenty
feet in height storm waves begin to
sound bell when the storm is still
at distance of sixty miles.-Ex

Slow Reading.

If you were to travel across an
interesting land, would you prefer
to go through on limited express,
or to walk through, with plenty of
time for side excursions and sight
seeing? And yet-surely the moral
is obvious. Some young readers
find in good book about a dozen
times as much treasure as others
carry away from it; and you are
fortunate if you are like a young
girl who said: 81 cent read good
book fast. / can't understand it if
/ read it fast" She is likely to be.
come well read in spite of herself.
How many generations of men
have been at work upon Shakes
peare, Dante, and Homer, without
any danger of exhausting the mine
of wealth these offer. And the
Rihle-it is as exhaustless as eter-
nifty. No one ever will come to the
end of the riches in that great Ii
brary of every species of literature.
Every wise man who has ever made
list of the greatest books in the
world has put the Bible fret. 1t is
said that young people are reading
the Bible less than they once did;
if it be true, it is sure they are en-
ploying their reading hours to less
advantage. DO all of you know the
beautiful little READING editions"

Wives caress or parents welcome, brothers ,

And smile of love or glory trembled Ger each

Silence broke by groan Of anguish, vibrant with
