Cats and Mirrors.

give half a mind to write to a paper
in the New Hampshire village where
I was born and reared" said a lover
of animals recently, "and ask the
editor if q story 1 read in his last
weeks edition is a true story.
"It's about a wonderful cat that sits
on the edge Of the sidewalk with his
back to the gutter and looks into a
store window as if he didn't care for
ANYTHING or anybody. When he sees
by means Of that window that the Eng
lish sparrows are pecking close be-
hind him he turns as cats can turn'
like the Whit of a 1ashlight, and nails

Now. I've mussed with cats and
dogs and all kinds Of living critters
ever since I could walk; studied their
ways and habits, and 1 never couId
make any of them pay the slightest
attention to themselves in a morror.

Great Cities Il Germany.

Any city of more than 100000 innab'
itants is considered q great city. VI
these Germany has more than any
other country, namely, %forty-one.
Great Britain and the United States
have thirty-nine each. Then there is
a break till we reach Russia with Six
teen, France with fifteen, Italy with
twelve, Japan and Austria-Hungary
with eight each.
When the present German Empire
was founded, in 1871, Germany had
only five such cities, but by 1900 they
numbered thirty-three. Five of them
have more than half a million popula-
ton each. Berlin, for instance. has
more than 100000 inhabitants. The
next largest is Hamburg, 100000 fol-
lowed by Munich, Dresden and Leipsic.

A Woman's Work For CI,rIst.

Here is a practical gem from Dr..
Torrey. He said: "Sonle years ago q
woman who had a family of young
children had been reading the life OF
Frances Willard and was greatly stirred
by reading that life. She came to me
one day and said: 4 wish I could do
something for Christ I said. You
can No she said, 4 can't; my duty
is with my family I replied, or
course it is, but you can do something
for Christ; you a bring your children
to Him; you can bring your servants to
Christ; you can bring the s~hopkeepers
you deal with to Christ
"Ard I watched that woman. Every.
child in her family was converted In
early CHILDHOOD; Il Of them is now
studying for the ministry, two Of them
expect to go as foreign missionaries,
one Of them was called to the other
world at nine years Of age. The mornt
ing the little child Of nine died she was
told that a nurse was coming to nurse
her, and she said to her mother, I woni
der if the nurse is a Christian; if she
isn't we must lead her to Christ Every
servant that came into that home was
spoken to about her soul; when the
butcher came with the meat he was
spoken to about his soul: whenever n
went shopping to buy cloth, or a bont
net, or anything else, the clerks with
whom she dealt were spoken to abou,
their souls"

The Intelligence OF the Heart.

"Foolishly arrogant as I was, I used
to judge the worth of a pefson by his
intellectual power and attainment. I
could see no good where there was no
logic, no charm where there was no
learning. Now 1 think that one has to
distinguish between two forms Of in.
%telligence, that of the brain and that OF
the heart, and l have come to regard
the second as by far the more impor.
tant."
Thus comments Henry Ryecroft, the
character whom George Gissing reps
resents as resting in a quiet country
cottage after the strain Of a toilson
literary life in London. Ryecroft illus
trates his theory by the case of his
housekeeper, a village woman who has
been taught only up to the point Of
being able to read and write, but who
fulfls her duties with contentment and
consciousness, and whose Delights
in order and in peace.
We confuse the meanings Of words
when, as we often do, W. regard intellf-
gence as equivalent to either scholar
ship or smartness. 1t means literally
the power to understand, and is not
the heart as we'll as the brain an organ
of understanding? To put 1t in anotha
way, are we not helped to interpret the
world round us by the responsiveness
Of our sympathies as we'll as by the
alertness of our mental operations?
1t is the intelligence Of the heart,
much more than Of the brain, that gives
the invaluable quality which we cali
tact. In conversation, for instance,
there are certain subjects which would
give pain to a friend. 1t is by putting
ourselves in Misplace and trying to re-
alize how he would feel If these topics
were introduced that we learn to avoid
them. If we do this it is because u
heart makes US shrink from distressing
him, and also represents to us what his
distress would NEAR The beginning
Of the whole matter is the kindly pur-
pose-in other words, the intelligence
Of the heart.
The truth recorded by Ryecroft APP
plies particularly to the interpretation
Of spiritual things. 1t is the intelli-
gence Of the head that translates into
English a passage of the Greek Testa-
ment, and that ascertains its logical
connection with the rest of the book.
But it is the intelligence OF the heart
that shows the bearing of the passage
upon the personal life of the reader,
and that is able to make him wise unto
salvation.-Forward.

Filled With God.

There is a little bay on the North
cumberland coast which, when the tide
is back. is exceedingly muddy, covered
with thick and repellent slime. Th'
fshing-boats are stranded in the fou!
bed, and everything is ugly and for
bidding. And then the tide rolls in,
and the little bay becomes a thing Of
loneliness; the boats are floated, and
move merrily in the musical rush OF
the waters.
And so it is in the bay of human
life, when the tide Of the Spirit is back.
Our finest VOWS and purposes are
stranded. and life becomes ungracious
and unclean. But. when the tide rex
turns at the bidding Of Il willing
wills, our imprisoned ambitions are
foated, and u purposes move on tN
ward their desired haven. "He shaa
De to thee like the sea-" And the con5
verified man becomes filled with God.

LIQUID AIR FOR COMMERCE.

ufacture for industrial purposes of
enormous quantities Of oxygen and hi.
trogen, extracted in a liquid state
from atmospheric air.
Georges Claude, the inventor of the
process, furnished the explanations. AS
the liquid oxygen flowed out from the
generator it was of q blush hue, while
the nitrogen was colorless. Several
experiments were made for the visitors
to prove the importance Of having an
abundant supply of oxygen at ones dis
posal; a forge set up in the grounds
showed the wonderful effects Of the
gas. The fire, which had almost died
out, was Immediately rendered incan-
descent by a current of hydroXide from
the blowpipe. A bar Of iron was
brought to a red heat and then melted
like lead. Two pieces Of iron were
welded in a few minutes by the aid
of q powerful flame from the bloWpipe.
Much costly and tedious riveting will
be no longer necessary; iron will be
welded against iron, copper against
copper, etc. The doctors already fore
see the possible treatment with liquid
air Of certain affections Of microbian
origin, such as osteomyelitis, anthrax,
and the malignant disease Of the skin
termed lupus.
Liquid air has been tried in mines rs
an explosive agent, and for this pur-
pose mari is wet with petroleum and
then saturated with liquid air. The
paste thus formed constitutes a good
explosive when fired with illuminate,
and has the advantage, when it hangs
fire, of being without danger, as the
liquid air evaporates very rapidly.
The price Of oxygen, according to NJ.
Claude, for industrial purposes Will
not exceed four to six mills per cubic
meter. It is believed that it will be
possible to use LIQUID air as a motor
power.-New York Times.

CHAPTER TX.

Va D3shh 80
James Rolfe sat in his uncle's room
at his uncle's table and in his uncle's
own wooden chair. He had succeeded
to the business, apparently, as well as
the estate. Bundles of papers were
laid on the table before him; they were
the papers connected with his uncle's
iestate, now his own. For he had no
business Of his own, and his uncle's
clients, if he had any left, had gone
elsewhere. In his own room James
iRolfe, who had lunched c%opiously, with
a pint Of stout, slept peacefully. The
offices of Uncle Joseph, deceased, had
become q Castle of Incidence. Out
side, the world went on, quite uncon-
,scious Of the office. Nobody ever
looked in. Even the postman passed it
10y without a letter or a parcel. Every
body was asleep all day long.
Yet five minutes, and this calm was
to be rudely dispelled, not to return,
81 far as concerned the chief, for many
a day. In fact, it has never since re-
turned. This afternoon, the hcsiest
and the calmest, was the last day of
real peace.
Two girls, about to cause this inter,
ruption, were at this moment in Lin
coins lar Fields.
81 am sure it is the best thing to do,
Katharine" said one. "If this man
was really a friend Of Toms, he would

II do not think lie was friend, al
though he was. a cousin. But Tom told
me to go to him if 1 was in trouble.
We can but try, Lily"
Suddenly-without the least warning,
in the most unexpected manner-every
one Of those sleepers was startled into
consciousness.
The office bell was runS.
Then the chief sat upright. dropped
the half-smoked cigarette from his
fingers, and seized the papers tied up
with red tape which lay on the desk
before him. He would be discovered,
whoever it was that was coming to dis
turb him. in the act of wrestling with
legal intricacies. The two old clerks
jumped in their chairs, and each man
selzed a pen and dipped it in the ink,

HYMN.

O Love, that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
o Light that followest all my way,
I yield my Pickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
0 Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall fearless be-.
O Cross that liftest up my lead, .
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

to have dropped overheard from the
