C6urtship Among Animals.

Another human trait that seems al,
most universal among the lower ami
mails is the coyness and reluctance
of the female in her relations to the
male. Her first impulse is to refuse
and to flee. She is negative as the
male is positive. Among the birds
there is something like regular court
ship, there is rivalry and jealousy
and hostile collision on the part OF
both sexes. With the birds the propa-
eating instinct in the female is evil

of recurring intervals that it is
among mammals. Hence the female
must be stimulated and won by. the
male. He addresses himself to her
in a way that is quite exceptional,
If it occurs at all, among mammals.
His aim seems to be to kindle Or
quicken her sexual and mating i'm
pulses. In the case of mammals these
impulses recur at certain periods, and
no courtship on the part of the male
is necessary.-John Burroughs, ia

The Blood of Christ.

Have we outlived the efficacy of the
blood of Christ, and is the tale of His
Cross a sound from which all the
music has gone forever?
We need the sun to-day, as we have
ever needed it; the wind is still the
breath of health to our dying bodies;
still we find in the earth the bread
without which we cannot live; these
are our friends of whom we never
tire; can it be that the only thing of
which we are weary is Gods answer
to our souls deepest need? Shall we
keep everything but the blood OF
Christ? Shall the Cross go, and the
sun be left? Verify, as the sun with
drew at the sight of that Cross, and
for the moment fled away, he would
shine never more were that sacred
tree hewn down by furious man.
The blood of Christ is the foun-
tain of immortality! The blood of
Christ, it makes the souls summer
warm and beauteous! The blood OF
Christ, it binds all Heaven, with it's
many mansions and throngs without
number, in holy and indissoluble Sc
curity! My soul, seek no other
stream in which to drown thy lep-
rosy! My lips, speak no other song
with which to charge your music! My
hands, seek no other task with which
to prove your energy! l would be
swallowed up in Christ. l would be
nailed to His Cross. l would be bap-
tiled with His baptism. | would
quail under the agony of His pain
that l might triumph with Him in
the glory of His resurrection.
o my Jesus! my Saviour: Thine
heart did burst for me, and all its
sacred blood flowed for the cleansing
of my sin. 1 need it all. l need it
every day. l need it more and more.
| search out the inmost rscesses OF
my poor wild heart and let Thy blood
remove every stain of evil,
Fer since by faith saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till l die.

miracles by taking away the guilt
and torment of my infinite sin.-By

WARNED BY RATS.

Most miners favor the presence OF
rats in the mines in which they are
employed. When rats are occasional
ly visible the men feel that the mines
are safe," says Chums.
LAS sailors believe that rats will
desert an urseaworthy ship, so miners
believe that when danger is imminent
in a mine the rats all disappear; and
it is no doubt true that in some in
stances the rodents seem to under
stand when water threatens to burst
in on a mine or when dangerous
gases are accommodating, and take
warning and desert the threatened
mine.

in a transport of joy. OH" said
she, 81 have not pain or priva

Surely He hath borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows; yet we did
esteem Him stricken, smitten of God,

bruised for our iniquities; the chas-
tisement of our peace was upon Him;
and with His stripes we are healed"

NAGGING MOTHERS.

When anybody talks of a nagging
wife it is generally to refer in pity
ing terms to the man whom she has
married. Much more to be pitied,
however, are the children.
In fairness to mothers it must be
said that they unwittingly fall into
the habit of nagging their children.
Don't do this" and don't do
that" and so forth are remarks cal
culated to reduce children to a state
of sulky irritability. Unless the
rights of the little ones are care
fully kept in view by the grown-up
ones it is small wonder that they
sometimes rebel openly against an
authority whose pressure they feel
in CALLING jerks and unreasonable re-

try to see what you can do with:
Tie a string about yard long to a
door key and take the string in the
right hand. Hold it so the key
will clear the floor four or five in
ches. If you will hold the string
steady enough it will begin to swing
back and forth in a straight line. Let
another person take you left hand
in his, and the motion Of the key
will change from the pendulum-hke
swing to circular swing. If third
person will place his hand on the
shoulder of the second person the
key will stop. Just try the above
and then solve the puzzle.

BLUSHING A YOUTHFUL TRAIT.

AS a rule, blushing is only
trouble of the very young, and there
fore to older people is a great charm.
To see a pretty, ingenious girl color
gracefully is charming; to see fitfu1
color come and so lightly and sud-
denly from desire to please, or ex-
element, is to recognize one of the
many undefinable fleeing charms of
youth. With an older woman, how
ever, it is different. Just as shy
ness is charming in a girl, so blush
ing is pretty. But shy woman Is
an awkward one, and it is painful to
see her color a dull, deep red under
special or unusual circumstances. 1t
is so true that one ages virtue be-
come another ages faults. But youth
never realizes it's especial attractions
till they have gone, so one and all
may profit by these hints.
Blushing is generally caused by ex-
cessive nervousness or self conscious
ness or hysteria. The last is a real
disease, and must be attended to by
a doctor; the two first are mental,
and can easily be checked, says Wo-
mans Life.
Sensitiveness and excessive mod
esty can best be cured by forgetful-
ness of self. Train yourself never to
think of yourself. Do not be intro
spective, simply try, especially when
with others, to think of yourself not
at all. You will soon find you can
enter a crowded room without any
reddening of the face or miserable
shyness. If it is almost impossible,
concentrate your mind on some out
side question. l knew shy little
girl who tried to get through men,
tally her multiplication table and
even so slight a concentration as that
diverted her thoughts and made her
forget herself. 1t is hard to ones
pride but salutary to remember very
few people think of one at all. Never
give way to it; ignore it; if you feel
the blush coming, talk on, and it
dies away.
