A Tall Story.

Any one would suppose that there
must be some eagle blood in Mrs.
George Earle's flying hen, says a dis
patch from Middletown, N. Y. Mrs.
Earle lives at Parliamans Corners,
and has lot of chickens, the only re-
markable one being the flying hen
The hen is ostensibly a cross be-
tween a Leghorn and a Dominick, but
hasn't the qualities Of either breed.
Some time ago the hen decided to set
and built a nest of sticks and grass
in the very top of a tall tree. She
flew back and forth from tree top to
the ground like a crow, carrying the
material for the nest in her mouth.
In the course of this time she filled
the nest with eggs, and has Matched
out thirteen chickens, which she
brought safely to the ground without
assistance.

MILLINERY OR COUTURE?
Question of Covered Uncovered Heads for
Feminine Churchgoers.
~ = \ \ : \ ~ ~

Those who are elegantly halted are
tainted with pride, vainglory and by
pocrisy, while the meanly hated
women are afflicted with envy, hatred
and all uncharitableness. st. Paul
came to the conclusion that it was
as well not to take any chances with
women, and he thought it much safer
to extinguish them at church in the
shamefacedness and sobriety OF veil.
On the principal that thing half
concealed and half revealed is more
seductive than full revelation, it's
nSctty safe to say that the soft waves
aD3ut the forehead and temples and
the delicious little curls at the nape
of the neck, which all show below the
hat, have shared more souls than all
the uncovered heads will ever have
to their credit.-New York Sun.

den deaths from poison taken by mis-
take has induced the London Daily
Mail to invite patentees of poison bot
ties to send in suggestions or illustra-
tons for such things. The result has
been four designs, one much like the
diamond pointed bottle in use in this
country, while another is shaped like
the projectiles used in modern rified
cannon. The point of this device is
that the bottle can only stand upside
down, and this in ITSELF the inventor
believes, is sufficient warning Of its
dangerous contents.
Another bottle has two necks in
stead of one, both of which are so
constructed that without removing
one cork and loosening the other the
contents of the bottle cannot be pour
ed out. This device involves the ap-
plication of simple problem in atmo-
spheric pressure, but the two necks
alone would be sufficient to distin-
guish this vessel from all others.
Still another device is square or
rectangular bottle, to which a curved
neck is fitted. To pour the poison
from this bottle would require almost
as much effort as solving Pigs in
the Clover" puzzle.-New York Press.

Children of Liuht.

Walk as children of light" (Eph, v. 81.
We cannot too often be reminded OF
the fact that it is not SO much what
we say as what we are that impresses
others with a true sense of the religion
Of our Master. The boy grows up and
forgets all that his mother taught him
the books she read to him, the pray
ers and hymns she trained him to re
peat in infancy; but the meaning OF
what his mother was, her life of loving
self-denial and usefulness, that is i'm.
perishable, the engraving as Of an iron
pen and lead in the rock forever.
Hence the Importance which st.
Paul attaches to walking-not mere
talking-as children of light. 1t is by
our lives that men of the world will
Judge of the sincerity of our profess
sion and the genuineness OF our relig-
ion. The Christian is the worlds BIZ
BILE. and, alas! often the only one it
reads. Let US walk circumspectly,
then. II we wear habitually look Of
fretfulness and discomfort, 1t will be
useless to preach to them OF the Joy
OF Gods salvation. If we are known to
be selfish and worldly in our public or
private dealings, it will stultify our
message on the self-sacrifice Of the
Cross and the power of religion to con-
quer besetting sin. In short, If we are
I'M ChristIike in our own life and walk,
we are no At witness-bearers for the
truth as it Is in Jesus.
But let us not be discouraged. II
Christ be in us His life will appear
in ours, however dimly and imperfect
ly at first. He not only gives His peo-
pie light, but He makes them lumin-
GUS. "He giveth power to the faint. ="
He can transform us by His spirit, en-
able us to radiate His light and truth,
assimilate US more and more to His
own image and likeness, and help us
to become at length children of the
light and of the day.-Dr. Balgarnle

The Power of Love,

The power for work IS love. Il
was love that moved God to all His
work in creation and redemption. 1t
was love that enabled Christ as man
to work and TO suffer as He did. 1t
Is love that can inspire us with the
power Of self.sacrifice which seeks
not its own. but is ready to live and
die for others. 1t is love that gives us
the patience that refuses to give up
the unthankful or the hardened. II
IS love that reaches and overComea
the most hopeless. Both in ourselves
and those for whom we labor, love is
the power for work. Let us love as
Christ loved us.
The power for love is faith. Faith
roots its life in the life of Christ Jesus.
which Is all love. Faith knows, even
when we cannot realize fully, the won.
derful gift which has been given into
our heart in the holy Spirit shedding
abroad Gods love there. A spring
in the earth may often be hidden or
fountain cannot flow out. Faith
knows that there is a fountain of love
within which can spring up into eter-
nal life, which can flow out as rivers
of living waters. 1t assures us that
we can love; that we have a Divine
power to love within us. as an inalien-
able endowment of our new nature.
The power to exercise and show
love is work. There is no such thing
as power in the abstract; it only acts
as it Is exercised. Power in repose
cannot be found or felt. This Is
specially true of the Christian graces,
hidden as they are amid the weak
nesses of our human nature. 1t Is
only by doing that you know that you
have; a grace must be acted ere we
can rejoice in its possession. This is
the unsDeakable blessedness of work,
and makes it so essential to a healthy
Christian life that it wakens up and
strengthens love and makes us par.
takers Of its joy.-Rev. Andrew Muir.

A Plant Within a Plant.

At Brookdale, Santa Cruz county,
Cal, fine specimen of the sequoia
or redwood tree, was blown over in a
recent storm. The tree IS estimated
to be over $50 years old. Ten feet
from the top of the tree, and at dis
lance of 165 feet from the ground
was found a hole somewhat less than
two feet deep. 1t had once been the
nest of a woodpecker. In this hole
had grown a sturdy, three-stalked
huckleberry bush, two feet tall It's
roots, extending six feet into the
heart of the tree, had absorbed the
sap of the redwood. The huckleberry
had fourished and borne fruit.

remind him Of the bounty and loving
mercy Of God in permitting blessings
and privileges. The truth Is, man Is
wayfarer on earth. and he never
finds his true home until he reposes
with a tender trust in God. In mo-

Bird Hawk Trapped by Grass.

A Bangor man while passing
through field near Branch Pond, last
Sunday afternoon had a peculiar eX-
perience with a hawk.
Hearing fiuttering in the grass, he
investigated, thinking that a bird had
become caught in trap. What was
his surprise to find bird hawk with
a yellow hammer. The hawk had
killed the yellowhammer, pecking it's
head nearly to pieces, but in the
struggle in the tall grass a number of
stout pieces of grass had become
tangled around one of the hawks legs.
Try as he would, he could not free
himself, and the man easily secured
him. He will be mounted, and is as
fine specimen as one will often see,
as he has not mark on him.-Bangor

"The Bare Head Slightly Damages the

wopoan1

The preacher went on to acknowl-
edge that a gorgeous hat may attract
as much attention to a woman as an
uncovered head, but he said that in
that case the attraction would be of
a coldly esthetic nature and therefore
comparatively harmless, while with
the hatless head the fascination was
physical and personal.
Waving, shining locks, beautifully
arranged, are assumed to be subtle
appeal to mans lower nature and
likely to rub some of the bloom off
his valuable soul, while the frightful
moral earthquakes which the con-
temptation of other women's hats in
church produces in the soul Of a
woman are ignored, or perhaps not
even imagined, in this truly mascu-
line view of the situation.

Why else should a clergyman, a
short time ago, in rebuking the habit
that the women Of his flock had fallen
into of coming to church without hats,
have taken the ground that the I'M
covered feminine head was a fleshly
temptation to the men of the congre-
cation and have ignored the fact that
the hated feminine head inspires
worldly envy of the worst sort in 9TH

to glide gently into the abyss upon

North Pole almost 100000 square
miles of area is yet to be surveyed,
and at the South Pole lies a continent
awaiting exploration.
Not only are the terrestrial poles
awaiting the adventurer, but the even
more important magnetic poles, OF
which there are also two, are not yet
accurately charted. Ross discovered
the north magnetic pole in 1881, but
Wis instruments were primitive COM
pared with those now made, and the
knowledge of magnetism seventy-five
years ago did not equal that Of to-day.
Ross may have discovered the north
magnetic pole, and he may not have
done so. Capt. Amundsen left Nor
way on an expedition two years ago
to rediscover it and to accurately
chart this important spot. A few
months ago word was received that
the intrepid Norwegian had accom-
plished his purpose, but the report
awaits confirmation. So far as the
south magnetic pole is concerned, it
has never been reached. AS yet no
explorer has held a magnetic needle
over the spot, although Borchgrevink
in 1898, in the Southern Cross expedi-
ton, claimed to have determined it's
location. DR.. Frederick A. Cook, who
was a member of the Belgica An
