Putting Him to the Test.

A stockbroker was telling the other day how a girl, recently married to colleague of his on the Stock Exchange, suspected that her husband had been indulging little too freely in the cup that cheers. She determined to find out beyond doubt whether her suspi- cions were well founded.
 To friend she confided the source of her trouble, and from this friend she learned that 1t had always been said that man even slightly intoxi- cated cannot pronounce words of any length, whereupon the young wife de ciled that that would be good plan to try.
 When next the friend met the young wife she was in a state of great agi. tntion. Asked if the suspicious had been verified, the girl burst into tears and said that they had.
 II handed him this list" she said between sobs, fishing from her pocket n paper which she gaverto her friend and which contained the following words:
 'Phthisis, photochromy, gnomiomet rical, hypochondriasis, parachronism phlegmasia dolens, syncategorematic antinomianisR, pseudaesthesia."
 And" she continued, while her friend read the list, he missed nearly half of them!"-London Tit-Bits.

Why Snow Falls In Elnkea.

Snow falls to the earth in flakes be- cause 1t is water solidified in starlike crystals, each snowflake being usually made up of several crystals, which are excessively light on account of the large quantity of air among the frozen particles. The snow crystals arise from the slow passage of the water vapor of clouds, when the temperature falls below freezing point, into the solid con dition, the fairylike transformation taking place by the tiny independent particles of water grouping themselves with the utmost mathematical regular ity around different centers
 Each crystal of snow, as of anything else, Is therefore more or less per feet geometrical solid. The most con- plete snow crystals are formed in d clear atmosphere, where there Is noth- ing to retard the gradual process of specialization or molecule construction Rain, on the other hand, being HcEld falls ill drops.

SAVED FROM THE KNIFE
caI-cura Solvent, Dr. Kennedy's New Medl- cine Will Dissolve and Expel Stone and Gravel from the System.

A surgical operation is no longer neces- sary for the removal of Stone and Gravel from the Kidneys and Bladder, since the ase,o medicine, Cal-cura Solvent, discovered by the well-known physician and surgeon, Dr. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kingston, N. Y., quickly dissolves and swiftly expels Stone, Red and White Grav- el, thus freeing the patient of the inaamma- tion and pain, caused by the presence of these lime formations. Better than all, Cal-cura Solvent prevents the formation of Stone and Gravel and all uric acid condi- tions of the blood. The medical profes- sion has accepted and heartily endorsed the principal upon which Dr. Kennedy has based his claims for Cal-cura Sol- vent.

sin. What is it we learn rom these Christian meteorological reports? From one and another heathcn land comes the story Of people turning from idols to serve tl q living God. Everywhere slavery and cruelty and inhumanity are being gradually suppressed. The 7 world is coming more and more under the influence of the principles of Christ. It is slow process, but the general trend is in the right direction. Evil for thousands of years has had its sway. We must not expect 1t to be easily or quickly dislodged. But the good time is coming. Only do not let us who live ill Christian lands lose heart or hore. We have the promise of victory; we see the sky growing rosy with the coming dawn. Let us work on in faith and patience. Oh, my brother, think not this New Years day opens dark day" for Christ. Think not that your labors for the coming year will be thrown away. Push on i'll faith and hope. Drive up. Look up, in the name of Jesus. Plant In Gods name; plant for Jesus Christ!
 
 could be voiced in more inspiring lan- guage than that of my text. These eight words have for me a loving re- membrance. If any one should ask me what was my fathers favorite passage of Scripture. without moments hesi. tation I would answer, Ecclesiastes Xi, 4, He that observeth the wind shall not sow" They were to him hts meat and strength for everyday work. He quoted them to himself almost every day of his life. He quoted them to his wife and children hundreds, aye thousands of times. If any of us were discouraged or blue or cast down, his advice always was the same. Take courage. All will yet come out right. He that observeth the wind shall not sow" Shall not we on this New Years Sabbath press on with glorious antici- patton for the gospel seed planting at hand. which will ultimately mean our harvest ahead? I pray God that this coming year may be the best of years to all of us, as 1t will surely be the last of earthly years to some of us. A happy, happy New Year!
