the full term Of ten years had elapsed
when he was released, and he hastened
to embrace his mother, who believed
In his innocence. When he reached his
home he found the candles burning
near the body OF his mother, who had
died the night before. Then he says,
I vowed vengeance, and at the first

Many plants and flowers are provid-
ed with devices that protect them from
undesirable insects and other enemies.
The cactus and other prickly plants
find their spikes an admirable protec-
ton, while several plants exude a
sticky liquid which entangles insects
endeavoring to climb up the stem. As
insects are useful to many flowers in
conveying the pollen from the male to
the female plants, provision is made to
attract those insects which are capable
Of performing the service and to ex-
clude those which would be OF no use
to the flower. Several pale flowers,
for instance, which attract moths ex-
hale a fragrant odor only In the even

A Marine Monster Of 1900.


"When l saw our latest leviathan
warship, the Indomitable, launched at
Glasgow the other day." writes a cor
respondent. II could not help wonder
ing what our forefathers of a century
ago would have thought Of her. In
1900 a leading naval authority wrote:
The size OF our ships seems now
to have reached its ultimatum. The
French indeed have latterly built a
ship Of most extraordinary size, 172
feet keel, 90 feet inches by the beam,
tonnage about $3.50 tons. But she is
pronounced to be entirely unfit for
service And yet this marine monster
Of 1900, whose size made her 30 I'M
wieldly that she hath never been out
OF harbor,' was but a third as long as
our latest cruiser, little more than two
thirds the width and a sixth Of the
tonnage. In fact, she was relatively
% small that she might easily, one
would think, have been carried on the
Indomitable's deck. Although a fifty
acre forest had provided her timbers
and 1t had taken 200 shIpwrights a year
to build her, her total cost was less
than one-tenth that Of her successor Of
today."-Westminster Gazette.

which were so well arranged and
SO excellentlY carried out under
the direction of Father NASSAU
and large core of the older men,
bers of the church. The bishops
congratulatory address was very
highly appreciated by all who
were fortunate enough to gain adj
mission to the church and hear 1t,
for, notwithstanding the inclem-
ent weather, about two hundred
persons were unable to gain ad-
mission to the auditorium or gal
leries, every seat of which was
occupied long before the services
began.
/ In his remarks concerning the
vast amount of moral uplifting"
the Pensioners might do in their
new neighborhood, the Bishop did
not once refer to or insinuate the
nationality of his audience. That
strong Christian relationship re-
CARELESS of race or color exists,
the good Bishop seemed to have
no doubt, and his vast, attentive
audience of mixed races agreed
with him. Unfortunately, Father
NASSAU supplemented the Bish-
ops remarks by calling attention
to the fact that his is a Colored
peoples church, Notwithstanding
the fact that many white Chris
tians have and will contribute to-
wards its support. The musical
