4 Few Corrections.

A few things picked up from a child's
schoOlbook: Never say, Il don't think
1t will rain" What you mean is, Il do
think it will not rain" ".All over the
world" is bad; say Over all the world"
1.-The reason why is not only incorrect,
but doesn't sound ~ well AS The e Il
son that" In the King James version
Of the Bible. quoted by some authori-
ties as a standard Of pure English, one
may find the following. which occurs
in Isaiah xxxvii. 81: Then the angel Of
the Lord went forth and smOte in the
camp OF the .ASsyrianS a hundred and
fourscore and five thousand, and when
they arose early in the morning, be-
hold they We're all dead corpses." In
other words. the corpses arose early in
the morning and found themselves
dead. Don't say "A man fell off the
dock" 4 man might fall into a dock,
but to say that he fell off a dock Is no
better than to say he fell off a hole.

The Crested Rat,

The crested rat Of East Africa is re-
markable. first because of the great
length of the black and white hairs
down the ridge Of the back. which are
rendered the more conspicuous because
the hairs along the sides of the body
are so short and so differently colored,
being brownish gray and looking for
all h world as If some one had taken
a pair Of scissors and m~aliciously shorn
of the decorative hair. leaving only a
dull undcrfur. Secondly, it Is remark
able because the skull has a roofing Of
bones exactly resembling that Of some
turtles, while, furthermore. this roof
has a granulated appearance recalling
that presented by the skulls Of certain
fishes. In its habits it appears to be
arbOreal while from the structure Of its
teeth it would appear to be at least
partly ins%ectivorous.

4 Curious Tomb,

The most curious tomb in England is
that of Lady Anne GrimSton, daughter
OF the Earl Of Thanet, who died nearly
two centuries ago and was buried In
Tewin churchyard. Upon her deathbed
she disregarded the efforts Of those
who sought to administer spiritual
comfort. An atheist she had lived, an
atheist she would die. ut is as likely
that | should rise again from the dead"
she said, las that a tree should grow
out Of the middle Of my coffin" A
tree has grown out Of the middle of her
coffin an oakland by its side Il Syca-

and granite. The two trees first filled
the interior before they could find a
way out. When they did burst through
the masonry they 80 spread as com
pletely to envelop the grave.

The Yale Echo in speaking OF the
Bookings good roads meeting says:
at has been our pleasure to accom-
pany Mr.. King on a drive in Bates
county, Missouri, I'VE roads built and
maintained under his instruction, and
we take great pleasure in recommend
ing the split log drag, which in Mis-
souri, has become a very useful tool
for making good roads. Mr.. King
has done more for the good road cause
in Missouri than money ever did,, in
asmuch as his split log drag is inex-
pensive. Any farmer can have one,
and it only takes a few moments work
after a shower to keep the roads in ex-
cellent condition. His road talks are
very interesting, and we advise every
one interested in good roads to hear
d. Ward Kings talk on that subject"

Yankton College this spring. 1t ia
evident that neither pains nor expense
were spared in getting it up, and the
result is q work OF genuine artistic
merit. The cover is of heavy, rich
brown stock. Across the top and above
the title is a horizontal panel in poster
design showing the five principal
College buildings as seen from the
top of a hill at the south east corner
OF the campus. The fly leaves are of
the same stock, and on these are an
extract from President Wards inaugu-
raj address and pictures from the
pen drawings of the "beginning Of
the College," a little one story frame
building, and of President Wards
church. The body of the booklet
contains SO pages of half tone engrav-
ings, beautifully made and printed
in sepia brown tint. Pictures of all
the College buildings are shown with
representative interior views and several
campus views. There are also the
pictures OF thesYankton College Glee
Club which this year made a success

portion OF theIstate, of the foot ball
team at practice in the athletic park,
and the beautiful May pole Dance on

views there are pictures of the prin-
cipal public buildings, churches and
representative residences of Yankton,

as seen from the top OF the court house
looking toward the Missouri River,
and q charming autumn landscape
scene on the banks of the Missouri.

When Everything Is POinHnnus.

All substances. even eggs, are poison
GUS when they are injected in certain
quantities into the circulatory system
Of an animal. \ French investigator
has taken the powdered yolk Of a

In order to kill n rabbit fifty five grains
Of the substance were required for

every man was dependent upon
his fellows. To endeavor to live
apart from society is an undertak-
ing that none can accomplish even
where nature is the kindest to
man. Even the richest of men is
dependent upon his fellows. And
even if it were not so, it is not
best for man to be alone. True
development of character could not
take place, if we did not come in
contact with one another. All the
virtues of patience, charity, mercy,
love are possible only to men in
social relations. And whether we
will or not we must sustain these
relations to our fellows.
1t is the recognition of mans
social relation that has made pos
sible the family, the nation, human
government, law, in fact what we
call civilization. When, therefore,
one withdraws himself from the
world with a view to finding a
larger life he makes a supreme
blunder. For only by meeting
the problems presented by ming
ling with our fellows can we hope
to fulfil Our proper destiny.
But there is still another relation
that we cannot escape. We are
related to God. Even five should
try to escape from Him we cannot
for He is everywhere. AS the
Psalmist says Though I make my
bed in hell bohold Thou art there.
The omnipresence of the Almighty
is one of the most awful facts of
human life. He is our Creator
our Judge, our Saviour. No
conception of life can be complete
that leaver out of view the Divine
Being. And no individual life can
be complete that ignores the
claims of God upon it.
If we regard man as merely a
part of nature we must look upon
life as an existence. If we look
upon him as a factor in society we
must regard life as a career, but
if we look upon him as related to
God, we must regard life as a mis-
sion. This is the highest concep-
ton of life and it must be the true
one.
Accepting then the salvation of
God through Christ, receiving into
our hearts the spirit through faith,
let US in absolute dependence upon
His grace seek earnestly to accom-
plish the work He has for us to do.
Acknowledging our relation to ma
ture let US not rest in it, and while
remembering our relation to HUI
mainly let us not forget our duty
to God. Then shall we make our
lives divine.

Text-What is your life? James 4l4.

Text-What is your life? James 4I4.
The importance of the question
presented in the text is hard TO
Estimate. But of one thing we
are sure, that it is very important
indeed. And il is not only import
ant in a general way but it is i'm
portant 10 each individual person.
For while it may be valuable TO
understand the meaning of life in
general, il is even more valuable
to understand the purpose of ones
own life.
In contemplating human life we
cannot :ail TO be impressed with
the variety Of aspects it presents
and this variety inpresses different
people in different ways. To some
indeed, life seems like a show; %
others it is a quiet valley far
from the madding crowds ignoble
strife" To some, again, it is a
battle, TO some a tragedy, to some
a game, and TO some it is a sacred
trust from God, TO use, to improve,
and to return 10 Him who gave it.
To St. James the Apostle two
qualities in life were evident. He
saw the trailty and the brevity Of
it. 1t is rue that human life is
trail in comparison with the power
of God, and that it is brief in COM
parison with the eternity Of God.
But il that trailty what strength

1t is not, however, the frailty or
brevity OF life TO which | wish
to call attention at this time. Let
us discuss the question with re-
ference TO its three necessary
relations; for human life is related
to nature, to society, and TO God.
Mans relation 10 nature is one
that is absolutely necessary. II
is not a matter Of choice. He is
dependent upon the products OF
natureI for his existence. By
reason Of his place in nature ne
has to contend against all the
natural forces. Fire, water, earth
and air furnish the difficulties which
he must overcome. He is the
center Of a scene described by the
poet.
Blight and famine, plague and earth
quake. roaring deeps and fiery sands,
Changing fights, and flaming towns,
and sinking ships, and praying
hands.
The struggle that man has with
nature has had a strong portrayal
in the book Of Victor Hugo
entitled The Toilers Of the Sea-
in which ne shows the difficulty
with which man wrests his food
from that most reluctant source.
50 important has nature seemed
to some men that they have made
her their god. This was what the
Egyptians did when they wor-
shipped the river Nile. Some
seem to have thought that not
only was he related to nature but
that his whole life is confined
within her sphere. Hence man
has found exercise for mis- intellect
in studying her laws, for his
esthetic nature in contemplating
her beauties, for this acquisitive
nature in accommodating her treas
ures, and for his religious nature
in wo-shipping her powers. But
while men have done this they
have not found satisfaction as the
poet Holland has said.
go! indifference OF nature to the fast of
N pain,
Every grief tnat seeks relief entreats
it at her hand in vain.
Not a bird speaks forth mis- passion,
not a river seeks the sea,
Not a flower from wreath OF summer
breathes in sympathy with me-"
Only when through nature we look up
to natures
God can We find true b~lessedness.
We cannot find the full answer
to the question of L text in
considering his relation to nature.
The idea that the savage, or the
child Of nature as he is called by
some, represents the true life is a
mistanke, for mans life is not fully
understood apart from society.
We have all been delighted in
reading the story Of Robinson
Crusoe and his experiences on the
lonely island in the Pacific Ocean.
But perhaps few Of Us in reading
il, have understood the porpose of
the author. II was 10 show that
