Cant1y in New Testament.
The phenomena of the figure I &nd
its multiples, occurring in the New
Testament, have been touched upon
by Ivan Panin, a Russian student Of
the Bible, who for a number of years
has made his home at Grafton, Mass.
This significance Of the seven" group
will not be lost even upon the super.
stitious who are outside the pale Of
scriptural points, and, as Mr.. Panln
has shown them, their relations Of
their groupings to the first eleven
verses Of the New Testament must
suggest that they were scarcely

For instance, in these first eleven
verses of Matthew, the vocabulary Con.

eight, or four sevens, which begin with

"Of the forty-two nouns there are
thirty five proper nouns, or five seVens'

As q further and absolute proof thas

Family DiaoinIina

The Rev. Elijah Kellogg was a most
unconventional minister. There are
many stories of his daring on sea end
land. SO undaunted was he that his
influence over sailors and other men
of adventurous life was very great.
When he was settled at Harpswell he
had on his farm a bull that had be-
come exceedingly trying and even dam
gerous to visitors who liked to take a
short cut across the pasture. The bull,
said Mr.. Kellogg, must be disciplined.
and taught some slight respect for
humankind.
He therefore harnessed the animal
to the front wheels Of a heavy cart,
preparatory to driving him over the
road and showing him who was mas
ter. But before the guiding ropes had
been adequately arranged the bull took
to the woods in a mad rush, leaving
fragments Of the cart-wheels and har-
ness on its trail.
The little minister was not to be out
done. The next day at nood-tide he
lured the bull to the end Of the wharf
by q tempting display OF fodder, and
watching his opportunity showed him
hack into the bay. Then he jumped
astride his back, and with the prowess
Of a "bronco-buster" thrust his head
under water until the creature was
conquered. Thereafter he was a law.
abiding beast.

Observation-Disclosures In the Forests Of

Rock-a"by- Babyism in the Forests of
This Little-Known Country.
Our first meeting with the Sirans
presented many ludicrous features.
says writer in Golfers Weekly. We
were plunging through the gloom Of
the forest when our ears were assailed
with concourse Of yells which echoed
through the supernatural silence with
ghostly weirdness. In this forbidd!ng
wilderness we had not looked for signs
Of human habttation, so hastily ar
ranging ourselves in position we pre-
pared ourselves for what seemed an
inevitable hostile attack. Long and
anxiously we awaited the onslaught
Of our supposed hidden assailants,
when again the peace-disturbing sound
echoed almost, it seemed, over our very
heads. CHANGING upward, the mystery
was soon explained, for in the lower
branches of the tree we could descry
numerous small bundles, each too large
for any eyry and too small for a wind
fall.

puzzled and awed until, peering more
closely, 1 became aware of the fact
that the disturbing elements which
had caused so much concern arose
from the fact that we had unwittinplv
stumbled upon an aboriginal nursery,
and that the weird and ghostlike
sounds emanated from several hungry
and lusty-lunged infants. Then the
solemn stiffness was broken by orr
hearty laughter, the KianRsi and

their credulous fears, making the
