Time and Eternity,

The stream of time never runs dry,

The BenEaff.

The Bengali has the best brains of
all the peoples in India and the readi-
est tongue. His memory is prodigious
and his fertility In talk inexhaustible.
He is something of an Irishman. some
thing of an Italian. something of a
Jew-if one can conceive an Irishman
who would run away from fight in
stead of running into it, an Italian
without sense of beauty and Jew
who would not risk f5 on the chance
Of making $500. He is very clever, but
his cleverness does not lead him far on
the road to achievement, for when ii
comes to doing. rather than talking,
he is easily passed by people of far
inferior abilIty.-London Standard.

The Wonderful Diatom.

One of the most wonderful things in
vegetable life is a beautiful and mi
mute class of seaweeds called diatoms.
They belong to the seaweed family,
yet they may be found by the thou
sands in any roadside ditch, fresh or
salt water lake or even in cisterns,
wells. springs. etc. Most species Of
plants are made up of an infinite num-
Der of little cells, but with the diatom
it is otherwise. Each representative
of this wonderful family of plants is
formed Of but a single cell and this so
minute that it would require $500 Of
che most common form. laid end to
end, to make a string an inch in length.
Some species of diatoms have the pow
er of Independent motion, and on that
ACCOUNT We're for some time believed
TO be animals.

HOW THE TIGER KILLS.
Never Faces His Prey, but Attacks 1t
on the Flank.

never HIS ITeys Out II
on the Flank.
| have taken considerable trouble to
ind out how tigers kill large game.
Some time ago 1 was asked to come
and see full grown bullock that had
been killed by a tiger. On examining
it I found the animal had its neck
broken. and there were claw marks
on the nose and shoulder, but nowhere
else. There was no doubt that the
tiger had jumped at the bull and land
ed on the shoulder. and when the bull
turned his head to gore the tiger he
must have put his claw out and with
a sudden jerk broken the neck.
On another occasion l went to see q
young buffalo which had been killed by
tiger and found the same thing had
happened. There were similar marks
on the nose and also ON the near shoul-
der, which clearly indicated THAT this
animal had been killed in the same
way. Malays who have actually seen
n tiger killing a buffalo told me they
saw the same thing happen; also that
in dragging off Il heavy carcass, such
as buffalo or bull, he gets most of the
weight across his shoulder.
This must be fairly correct, as l
have often followed a kill, and the
marks left indicate that only a portion
of the animal was trailing along the
ground. | have known a full grown
bull which ten men could not move,
dragged for two miles by a tiger in a
heavy jungle. where roots of trees and
swamp had to be gone through. In no
case have | seen the pug marks facing
the wrong way except when stopping
to feed. which proves he must carry a
portion of the animal over his shOul-
der
The old idea of a tiger killing large
game by blow from his paw is non
sense; besides, in India a tiger never
faces his prey, but attacks him ON the
flank unless charged. Another curious
fact that may seem very like a fairy
tale is that a tiger does not seem to
mind small lamp being tied over a
kill about ten feet high, but will come
| and feed. | have known three occa-
sions when this has been tried, and
each time a tiger has come to feed
upon the carcass.-LOndOn Field.

on Christmas morning. 1t was an un-
usual thing for a bank to do business
on Christmas day and the weather was
cold, but the order of the banker must
be obeyed, and so through the snow
and the cold the poor old woman
makes her way and is waiting in the
cold outer Office for the appearance of
the man who holds the mortgage on
her farm, and also the interest cou-
pons, which she has been unable to
pay. At last through the inner door
comes the banker, nervously twirling
the unlighted cigar he always handled
when he was about to drive an uncOm-
monty hard bargain.

The greedy cannot be grateful.
The ecclesiastical boss is the enemy's
best servant.
A little warm cheer does more than
a lot of cold hash
The most empty life is the one that
thinks only of itself.
Faith in God is nothing without fell
lowship with man.
He who is not rich having nothing
will not be rich having all.
People who SOW no joy are first to-
complain when they reap none.
Many a good deed has died in in

Large ideas of spirituality cannot
take the place of definite ideas Of right.
Whatever is gained at the cost of

THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.

BY rev. ~. r. Fox, d. d.
No season of the year awakens so
many loving and forbearing thoughts
and deeds as does Christmas In her
dungeon in the Tower of London, Lady
Jane Grey lost the sparkle Of her eye
and the sroseblush from her cheek. SO
depression and worry take the nerve
from many strong arm, the brilliance
from many a bright mind and the vic
tory from many well-furnished life.
But now, at this season, many who
have felt that they were fighting a
losing battle take heart. Men every
where are meeting storm with calm,
defeat with faith, and conscious of a
new reserve force they join the great
company of sweet, wholesome, happy,
healthy souls who are helping to ring
in the larger Christ that is to be.
He is a wise man who makes much
of a time that will rub the wrinkles
from his brow and will help him to
forget even for an hour his weight Of
sorrow. 1t is good for us also to read
again our great authors who interpret
for us this era of gladness. One thinks
instinctively of the transformation
that was wrought in the life Of
Scrooge, who is depicted by Dickens
as a squeezing, wrenching, grasping,
scraping, clutching, covetous old sin
ner, with a hand as tight-fisted as
grindstone, a mind as hard and sharp
as flint and a heart as secret and self
contained as an oyster. 1t may have
been cold without, but that did not af-
feet him. 1t was the cold within him
that froze his features, tipped his
pointed nose, shriveled his cheek, stiff
fened his gait, made his eyes red, his
lips blue and rasped angrily in his
grating voice. Now the problem is,
how are you going to save Scrooge?
How? By seeing that mems courses
foreshadow certain ends. When
Scrooge was made to see his name
upon the tombstone of neglected
grave, then he began to ask, Am l
past all hope?" And when he was told
that he could sponge away that writ
ing on the stone, he said, II will hon
or Christmas in my heart" And he
did, much to the joy of all who knew
him.
1 was reading the other day that
chapter in the life of David Harum
that tells of how he had ordered the
widow Collum to come up to his office

The Asparagus Pest.

Kindly insects help in the destruc-
ton Of the asparagus pest. The lady
bug, some snake feeders, or dragon
flies, and wasps and the spined and
bordered soldier bug-all these eat the
larvae of this beetle. Ducks and chick
ems are fond Of them. Air Stacked
lime busted on the dew wet leaves
destroys the pest, or the ends of the
branches where they congregate may
be cut and burned. The same rene,
dies hold good for the spotted beetle.
but his favorite place of hiding is in
the berry, so these should be cut and
burned as fast as they form.

A Forager in Despair.

81 have a friend,' said the Captain,
"who lost confidence in Sherman on the
march from Raleigh to Washington.
In the march to the sea and in. all his
long marches before that Sherman en-
couraged foraging. In the march south
ward from Atlanta detachments of men
secured the country on either side Of
the line of march coniscating every
thing that could support man or beast.
Strict orders were given as to the con-
duct Of foragers toward the people, but
thew were encouraged to carry off all
provisions and forage and to destroy
whatever would support the enemy.
"Foraging under the circumstane.es
became a part Of the soldiers trade,
and Sherman's men were experts.
Among them all no one stood higher
than nv friend Joe. He succeeded be-
vond any other man in our regiment,
and he often went fifteen or twenty
miles from the line of march, bringing
in horses and wagons loaded with flour
or meat or hay or corn, to say nothing
of chickens and pigs. He had many adj
ventures and rare escapes, and became
sort of hero in the command. Ger
tainly he was very proud of his work,
and was complimented for his success

after the surrender of Lee and
Johnston, when Sherman's army
marched from Raleigh toward Wash

gram that disguised all of the bum
mers and foragers. The order was that
there should be no struggling from the
ranks. no foraging whatever, that no
soldier should even go Inside the gate
If a front yard or back yard, that no
soldier should confiscate a chicken or
turkey or shoot hog. 1t was explain

Where Farmers Lose Money.

The aggregate value of the manure
annually produced in this country runs
in the millions. The average farmer.
however is absolutely wasteful in his
care of it, neglecting even the simplest
precautions for preserving it's fertile,
ing qualities, says Farming. In very
many cases the liquid manure is otter
almost a total loss, and the solid part
that remains has been so thoroughly
leached out by frequent transforms
and by exposure to the weather tina!
It's value is almost entirely gone.

Farmers and Poultry Fancicrs.

and aunts without any regard to prac-
heal utility. says Farming. Whether
Me hens from which he has been breed

|r 200 made no difference. His whole
lain has been to breed out a foul flight
heather or two, or to a create a better
Nmb or eyes of a better tint, at a
sacrifice of everything else. The result
Is that when a farmer goes into the.
market to buy thOroughbreds with his
money in his pocket, ready and willing
10 pay for the best stock, he not only
often pays for qualities he does not
need, but actually pays a premium for
something thai has been obtained at a
sacrifice Of the very qualities which he
does need. There are a few men, how
ever, raising thoroughbred stock that is
bred to lay" or to meet certain mar
