Psalm f9-7.11.

Psalm 1911.
The Perfect Law.-That Law
Is described by six names. As
Law il is a rule Of conduct. As
Testimony 1t is Gods expires.
sion Of truth. As Statutes and
Commandments it is Gods spe-
ciaI and general prescription OF
duty, with fear Of God as its
cause As Judgments it is the
final judicial decision from
which there is no appeal.
The quality Of that Law Is
%variousIy described as Perfect,
lacking nothing; as Sure, never
failing; as Right, being un-
erring; as Pure, possessing the
fragrance Of Heaven; as Clean,
possessing the holiness Of its
Divine Author; as True, the
foundation stone of His char
acter, and Righteous, the glo.
rious temple of His manifest
nature.
The effect Of that Law is de-
cIared to be, % Converting,
that is, transforming into Godli-
ness. (2) Making Wise the
Simple, that is, instructing. ~
Rejoicing the Heart, that is,
satisfying all the souls yearn-
ings. (4) Enlightening the Eyes,
that is, giving clearer, higher
vision. ~ Enduring Forever,
that is, abiding with an unfail-
ing pernanency.
The Value of That Law.-lt is
more to be desired than much
fine gold, that is, it is more
precious than earthly treasure.
1t is sweeter than honey and
the honeycomb.
That LAWS Protective, for byi it
is the soul warned of pitfalls

That Law Is Eecompensing,
for in the keeping of it there
is great reward.

AS the street car rolled along, Anna

For her part, she saw no reason
why, just because her mother and
Marie's had been school chums, they
should insist on a friendship between
their daughters. She wished she had
not come to pay this visit, and was
heartily glad that the last hour of it
would soon be over.
When they left the car Marie said:
There's a lot OF time before your
train goes, Anna, and l want to stop
at the Thurlow house a minute"
Leading the way into a large hotel,
she stepped to the desk and spoke
to the clerk. He nodded, and handed
her a letter. Marie, her puzzled

ing, took the elevator to the parlor,
and asked to be excused while she
read her letter.
AS she turned its pages her face
flushed and grew pale. She put it
back in the envelope and tried to chat
with Anna, but there was an under
current of suppressed excitement, and
at last it broke barriers.
Anna" she said, in a low tone, at

that as soon as he was ready l would

Marie paused. She expected awed
sympathy, but the girl from the coun-
try was not even looking at her. In
stead, she was seeing a mother wait
ing with desperate anxiety that night
for the daughter who. had not come
home. She was feeling the row

pulse was to speak out harshly
against Marie's deception of her best
friend; to denounce a man who would
ask a girl to begin her married life
with a deception; but something
closed her lips, and up from her heart
went a prayer for help.
Then she said, quietly: Marie, /
heard your mother telling your father
yesterday that the reason she got on
with you better than he could was
because she trusted you. She said
you knew it would break her heart if
you betrayed that trust, and she was

Marie looked up, startled. Anna

TO BE USED TO SHOW ACTUAL

Bones Of the Dead PAGER Sysonby Be-
ing Mounter for the American
Museum Of Natural History.

James r. Keene. the owner of the
famous racer Sysonby, which died
few months ago. has had the skeleton
prepared for public display at the
American Museum of Natural History
at New York city. In the horse alcove
on the fourth floor of the museum
there are already several specimens !
of the equine skeleton. In accord
ance with the scheme of the man.
agement to prepare specimens TO por-
tray active life, each Of these Is
mounted so as to typify some charac-
teristic phase of the life of the horse
or of its history. So Sysonby, when
placed on public view. will be shown
galloping. arranged to suggest the
wonderful speed he showed on the
track. The bones of the great stall
lion after their long preparation are
now disarticulated in the laboratory
of DR.. s. H. Chubb, who is in charge
of this particular phase of the mu-
seum's activity. When the work of
mounting them will be begun is not
yet determined. 1t will be some
months before they are prepared for
public display.
Those who have not seen the, specil
mems displayed in the great museum
cannot fully appreciate the effect Of
their novel treatment. Each exhibit
placed on view there is immeasurably
enhanced by this suggestion of ANNA
ton. Birds in their eyries, beasts in
their lairs, and reptiles In their nests
are made to picture life as nearly as
the dead reproduction can. This idea
is not surprising. but to employ the
plan in the mounting of skeletons is
certainly highly ingenious and strik.

the framework of the animal can tell

The attempt has been made over
in Germany with some degree of sue
cess of raising breed of animals
known as zebroids, which is cross
between the wild zebras of Africa and
the domestic mule or horse. but the
breeding of these strange animals has
never been anything more than, an
interesting curiosity.
Now an American proposes to go
into the business Of breeding the ami
mails for practical purposes, claim
ing that they have such superior
points over the horse and the: mule,
both as to length of life and harsi-
ness, that they will command high
prices and be in much demand.
At his country place at Rye, n. T.,
Warren NJ Van Norden, a New York
banker, has established his zebroid
farm. In temporary quarters in one
barn are three zebras, said to be
among the finest of their species ever
brought to this country.
One of them is declared to be a
| genuine Grevy's zebra, from Abys-
sinia, and this animal alone Is valued
by Mr.. Van Norden at $4,000. The
| other two zebras belong to what is
| known as the Bohimii class. Two
more, equally as valuable as those now
in Rye, have been captured for Mr.
Van Norden, and will be shipped to
this country early next spring. These
animals are about six years old. and
inasmuch as the life Of the average
zebra is about so years. they are al
yet mere babies, and are full OF more
life and tricks than young colts.
So much for the zebra parents o
the zebroids. Their parents on thu
other side will range from full
blooded Arabian mare down to littl'
burro jennies, through list of horse
flesh including piebald, hackney AM
mustang.
In speaking Of the zebroid, Mr.. Va
Norden says: 1.-THE zebroid makes a
excellent all-around animal for domes
tic use, and | hope to introduce 1t |
this country. 1t is already used |
