Track Telephones.

Nearly all the lines of the Bavarian
state railways are equipped with a
telephone service which can be used
at any point. Trains, track foremen
and others are supplied with small
portable instruments which enable
connection with headquarters. The
system offers many advantages in
everyday use as well as for emergency
cases.
A single opper wire carried on the
telegraph poles is used in connection
with the track rails. The portable
instrument is connected to the over
head wire by means of an extension
pole, and to the track by a clamp,
which can be done in a few seconds.
The telephone is then ready for use.
The advantage over a telegraph in
strument is that any n can use the
telephone.

Military Pigeons.

In the British Indian army all caval-
ry regiments are supplied with carrier
pigeons, which are used for the trans
mission of information, during all
their military maneuvers in camp.
Young cavalry officers go through a
course of instruction in the training
of the pigeons for military purposes
at the Pigneral college. In each squad
ron of cavalry there must be one
graduate who has studied for a fort
night in a military pigeon establish
ment, and each corps must see that
six men graduate yearly. Theoretical
care on the instruction of pigeons, ON
the method of preparing and fasten-
ing dispatches, and launching birds is
given to the c~avalrymen.

MARRIAGE in Afchanistan.

Among the Afghans marriage is a
case Of purchasing the bride. A rich
Afghan marries early, simply be-
cause he can afford to pay for a wife.
while the poor one often remains sim
gle until middle life on account of his
inability to purchase. If the husband
dies and the widow wishes to marry
again she or her friends have to re-
fund the purchase money to the
friends of the dead husband. A com
mon custom is for the brother of the
deceased to marry the widow. No
other persons would think of wedding
her without first asking the broth
sr's consent.

Here is an old trick, but perhaps

You ask the company if they would

the hat. But when making your prop

His Status Settled.

When Bishop Berry, of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, was a young
preacher he once gave a lecture in a
rural community. Wishing to be witty,
he announced to his audience that he
was a berry and called upon them to
state what kind OF a berry. Nearly
every berry known in the vicinity was
guessed, and the speaker refused 70
share the qualities of any of those
named. At last an old lady, who was
not sympathetic with the seeming
levity of the lecturer, and ex-
claimed in a squeaky voice: i know
what kind of berry you are. You are
a gooseberry, and a very green one at
that. Go on with the lecture" And
the lecturer NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

"And they asked not counsel
at the mouth Of the Lord
These words explain why Israel
failed to keep herself free from
unholy alliances, and it is the
explanation Of every misstep OF
the Christian to-day.
The world is able to bam-
boozIe the children of God be-
cause they look on the evidence
which the world submits, rather
than looking to God who giveth
wisdom to all lei for the ask
ing.
To Israel the case seemed so
plain, | suppose, that it seemed
positively silly to ask God about
it. Like the little boy who
prayed for the protection of
God only at night, because dur
ing the day he could take care
of himself, so the Israelites
thought that in the present stu
alton they needed naught but
their w judgment in deciding
their course of action.
And it was just when they
felt the wisest and most able to
take care of themselves that
the enemy turned the trick upon
them.
Life is full of mistakes and
tragedies because everybody
else and everything else is con-
suited rather than the source
of all light and all wisdom.
But how is God to be consult
ed about everything?
BY 'subordination of the per-
scnaI inclination and the con-
scious recognition of a higher
will and higher purpose than our
own.
BY diligent S of our God
given powers, while at the same
time there is an appreciation of
the limitations of human wis
dom and Judgment.
BY the exercise of patience.
Take time to decide a point at
issue. A misstep is taken
through haste which prevents a
clear reading of the sign-post at
the intersection of the ways.
BY the spirit of prayer per-
vading the life. Pray without
ceasing is the ScripturaI admo-
milton. How? Surely not stay
ing on Bonded knee in the Sc
cret chamber and audible repe-
tition of words and phrases.
Surely not by going about with
closed eyes and mind absorbed
in spiritual CONCENTRATIONS. Sure
Iy not by any outward cloak of
sanctimoniousness. No. What
then? Prayer is communion with
God. And that communion con-
sists in the conscious and I'M
conscious domination of God in
the life. 1t marks the perpet-
ual attitude of the soul, so, that
whether immersed in business
for the time being, or what not,
Gods spirit is operative in the
life. This is prayer without
ceasing.

The idea of an indoor picnic is not

Bow CAUGHT on Meat Hook.

A strange accident recently hap
pened in Cork, Ireland. The 11-year-
old son of a butcher, while in his un.
cle's shop, made a jump from the
counter with the intention of swing
ing on to a meat bar. A large meat
hook swinging from the bar entered
his head near the base of the nose
and penetrated several inches. Inc
efforts made to release him by three
men were unavailing, and finally the
hook was taken down and the poor
lad laid on the floor and a doctor
called. On his arrival chloroform was
administered, and then with the aid
of a hammer the hook was removed.
The boy lives in a dangerous state.

The tempter gains power over the

Every one must light the battle Of
life, and gain the victory, If he would
