He Knows Best.

The outward features of our lie may not
be all that we should choose them to be;
there may be things we wish for that never
come to lis; there may be much we wish
away that we cannot part from. The per-
sons with whom we live, the circumstances
by which we are surrounded, the duties we
have to perform, the burdens we have to
bear, may not only be other than what we
should have selected for ourselves, but may
even seem inconsistent with that forma-
ton and discipline of character which we
honestly wish to promote. Knowing us
better than we know ourselves, fully I'M
derstanding how greatly we are affected
by the outward events and conditions of
life, God has ordered them with a view
to our entire and final, not only our i'm
mediate, happiness; and whenever we can
be safely trusted with pastures that are
green, and waters that are still, in the way
Of earthly blessing, the Good Shepherd
leads US there.-Arnold w. Thorold.

How He Saved His Brothers. life.

The sympathetic interest Of the coun.

Hoar recalls one of his own repartees
about his elder brother. The Boston
papers had announced the serious ILL
ness Of Judge Hoar, and a group of
his friends observing the Senator at
breakfast in q club room hurried over
for information.

A Noble African Woman,

A slave woman named Ogunro, living il
the country west OF the Niger, longed for
freedom and worked hard until she secured
it. Their she travelled to another region to
enjoy life.
There she Was converted to Christ. This
gave her a new longing. What she now
longed for was to tell the Tale people,
among whom she had been a slave, what
good things she had learned. She went
back to Hale, worked hard, earned money,
got a church built, and late in 1909 she
placed the church at the disposal Of the
nearest Christian pastor.
The Church Missionary Tntellieencer now
reports that five young men from Hale
have been baptized through these efforts of
the ex-slave. 1t seems that Anglo-Saxons
have no monopoly on the strenuous life.
The Christian name given to Ogunro in
baptism was the appropriate one OF Dor
cas.-Christian Work and Evangelist.

Fireproohns Wood.

Increased attention is being paid to
the problem Of rendering wood and
other easily infammable substances
fireproof. From reports in the Ger
man press it would seem that the pro-
cess Of a Mr.. Gautsch, of Munich, is
very successful. The timber to be treat
ed is placed in a vacuum, produced by
pumping out the air. The cells are
thereby freed Of air and the wood Is
then impregnated under pressure with
a solution of sulphate of ammonia and
borax ammonia. The color, texture, or
destiny of the wood is not affected
thereby. The process renders it fire.

An Ambitious Wireless Program.

A rather ambitious program IS
mapped out for the new wireless tel
egraphy station being erected at Pisa,
Italy, by the Marconi people. While
this station, built Of stone, is admit
tedly the largest yet attempted for
space telegraphy, yet the establish
ment Of communication with Great
Britain, Holland, the United States, as
we'll as with vessels in the Mediter-
ranean, the Baltic Sea, the Red Sea,
and the Atlantic and Indian Oceans,
is rather a comprehensive undertak-
taking at this stage of the art.

Horses ~Sunshades.

The German Omnibus Company, find
ing that the hats used for horses are
unsuitable in the case of pairs, have
introduced "sunshides" for their pro-
lection from the sun. These sun
shades consist Of a wire framework
covered with canvaS and fastened to
the harness. The advantage claimed for
this novelty is that, besides protecting
the animals from the sun, it allows q
free current Of mir TO pass over their
heads.

six model farms, to n Of which the

has a forced labor colony, to which va.
