Send them away, this countless throng,
That they may all I've fed,
For night comes on, aud no one here
Hath either meat or bread"
Shus spake the Twelve, but not the Christ.
For lie in love replied:
Give We to eat NV chosen ones,
And let them here abide"
"Kind Master. how shall we supply
Their hungry mouths with meat?
Two hundred pennyworth would scare
Provide enough to eat"
But in the multitude there moved
A lad unknown and poor,
Whose fish and bread the Saviour used
To show His mighty power.
All seated on the ground. the throng
Beheld the mighty deed.
Apostles, from Gods ample store,
Supplied their every need.
The children, too. His thought controlled,
And none were sent away,
For every soul was satisfied
Ere sank the light of day.
The world about us everywhere
Has many a desert spot
Where souls are hungering for Gods food,
And 10, they find it not
Oh, let us heed the Saviour's voice,
And answer Him in love.

Bring blessings from above.

THE RUsso-JAPANEsE CRISIS.

The man who judges things by weight, bulk and dollars may well wonder at Japanese termerity. To Japan, with her 147, ,OOO square miles. the annexation of Korea. with S200O square miles, means what the annexa- tion of Mexico would to the United States. To Russia, with S.666.OO0 square miles, it means less than South ern California to us.
 Though Japan has only one-third the population of her rival, she publishes as many books every year; and, de- spite the concentration of her popu- lation. which permits of the wide cir cu!ation of her city dailies. she pub fishes as many newspapers. The per centage of her people who can read and write is about eCual to that of our own New England states. In schools. and colleges she has 5,000,000 pupils and students. or one in every nine of the population, where Russia has only one in every thirty-five. In fact.

WHY THE MESSAGE WAS LATE.

When senator enters en elevator in the senate wing of the capitol he is car ried directly to his destination, without regard to the intentions of the other passengers. This senatorial preroga- gative delayed the presidents message to congress recently in am amusing way. MT. Barnes, the assistant secTe- tary to the president, stepped aboard a senate elevator from the ground fioor. In portfolio under his arm he carried a message from the president of the United States to congress. Senate floor" said MT. Barnes, as the conduc- tor shut the door. Just then there were three rings (the senator's signaD of the bell. and the indicator showed that a. senator wanted to be lifted out of the terrace. The elevator went down, in- stead of up, and MT. Barnes went along. The senator in the terrace only wanted to go to the ground floor As he stepped off, however. there was anr other senatorial ring from the terrace. This senator wanted to go to the gal lery floor, and the elevator went there without stopping. As the car startel down there were three rings from the ground floor, and again the car failed to step at the destination of the pve=:- dent secretary. Fortunately for Mir. Barnes, this senator wanted to get of at the senate floor and the congress. after long delay. received the message from the president.

system and the bathing facilities are uneXcelled.
 Most people who go to Castle Creek 20 in the first place for the bathing and there is none better in the world There are two pools. the upper one, in which the hot water pours from the rocks at temperature SO high that many persons are unable to bathe in it. Below is the lower pool in which the tempera ture is somewhat reduced. Then there are the bath houses below, with shower baths, steam baths and plunges. Then there are the bathrooms in con- necticn with each room of the hotel and beside 2 general bathing room.
 But aside from the bathing there is no pleasanter place in Arizona to spend a vacation. The surroundings are most beautiful. There is a great number of orange and palm trees and there is be- side as wide a variety of plants and flowers as can be produced in this eli mate Speaking of climate, there is perhaps none other in the territory so delightful in the winter time. The alti- tude is little more than twice that of the valley. the air is as nearly absolutely dry as possible. and the place is shel- tered from sweeping blasts on all sides hy the mountains The wind which may rage outside is tempered into a 2leasaut and constant breeze by the time it finds its way through the gorg- es. The air and the sunshine of the springs are things never to be forgot ten.
 There are about forty guests there m of most of them spent last winter there They will probably spend many more winters there.
 There is no laCn of means of amuse- ment, billiards, a bowling alley etc Then there is dancing, and in fact the guests live in a pleasant world all by themselves. The cuisine, too, is as nearly perfect as it is possible for it to
