Put on the whole armor OF God. ~

Now, the continued action and the
comprehensive unity of all the graces
Of the soul are indispensable to the

Christians who set themselves to the

A Widows way.

Old Solomon was wise in many ways.
But there were things he couldn't un-
derstand.
A.nd unto him be honor ana great praise
That he confessed his ignorance Off
hand.
He did not know how ships went in the
sea,
How serpents crawled, how eagles
sailed In the air:
A mans way with a maid was mystery
To him-he owned all this freely and
fair.
A maids way with a man is also queer
SO subtle that no man can fathom it,
He may be wise. but she. the little dear
shackles his wisdom and confounds his
wit.
But there is something stranger far than
this
How q young widow blinds lovers
sense,
And has him quite persuaded that the
kiss
He gives her is new experience.

Sir Robert Ball in lecture before
the Irish Literary Society told story
Of an Irish doctor who was asked to
attend a patient on Tory island, off
the Irish mainland The doctor said
that he was willing to go, but that the
fee would be e2 (s1O), payable in ad.
vance. The Tory islander paid the
money and ferried the doctor over
from the mainland himself. The ply
sician finished his duties and wished
to start back The only way to get
back was to be rowed back by the
same man who had carried him over.
The doctor asked what the charge
was Two pounds" said the Tory
island man, payable in advance" I
was paid.

Hard Question to peeld.

The athletic side of education is not
forgotten in England any more than
in this country. The bishop of Here
ford tells of conversation between a
schoolmaster and man who had Just
sent his son to public school for the
first time. The schoolmaster sympa-
thized with the father. and remarked
how difficult It must have been to find
exactly the right thing to say to his
son. Indeed, yes was the reply, II
couldn't make up my mind for long
time whether to advise him to take to
bowling or batting"

The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the
beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene,
are as effective as sunlight on the
growth of plants, and this may soon
become a subject for serious consider
alton by all progressive cultlyators Of
the SOIL
The results OF the experiments are
astonishing. inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great Increase OF
growth attained by supplementing
"The Light Of Nature" with The
Light of Acetylenep during the hours
in which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance, a certain
number of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light during the night, grew
to twice the actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight
only, all other conditions being equal.
and peas had blossomed and partially
matured pods with the help Of acety-
lene light, while without the added
light not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene is already taking its
Place as an illuminant for towns from
a central plant, for lighting houses.
churches, schools and isolated build
ings Of all kinds, and it is being used
successfully for many other purposes.
A striking and important feature Of
acetylene is the ease and small ex-
pense with which it can be made
available compared with the great ad-
vantages derived from its use. The
machine in which the gas is gener
ated is easily installed.

Peaceful Fruit Of Righteousness.

Some seem to think that man. to
be a Christian. ought to be able not
to suffer when suffering comes; but
the ache OF suffering is part of its
medicine You might as well say that
manliness requires that a man should
drink bitters and not taste them, and
call them sweet. as to say that Chris
tianity requires that man should
bear suffering, and say that Il is not
suffering. II requires no such thing.
1t does not even require that we
should illumine suffering so that for
the present II shall seem joyous. A
man Is not bound. when his com
panion is taken from him. to say, Il
am so wonderfully strengthened that
have no suffering" A mother Is not
called upon. when she has given up
her child to God, to say, Il suffer
none You have right to suffer.
And God has been pleased TO whisper
and say. that though no afFiictions for
the present are joyous, but grieyous,
nevertheless afterward they work the
peaceaDie fruit OF righteousness unto
them that are exercised thereby
Rev II. W. Beecher.

The MInIstratIon Of sutterlnu.

But in human life 1t would seem as

Quite General.

DR.. John Wolff. an old-time writer,
said "There is even in England
gentleman Of dark complexion and OF
great talents who walks exactly as II
he had a tail, and people Of high rank
told me that he and his family were
known to have tails, and therefore IN

ing Or Wolf in his travels and
adventures says: There are men
and women in Abyssinia with tails
like dogs and horses Wolff also heard
from great many Abyssinians and
Armenians (and Wolff is convinced Of
the truth Of it) that there are near
Narea, in Abyssin Ia, people-men and
women-with large tails, with which
they are able to knock down a horse,
and there are also such people near
China" A note in Baring-Gould's
book adds. "In the College of Ply

still be seen a human skeleton with
tail seven inches long. There are
many known instances of this elonga-
tion of the caudal vertebra. as in the
