Sacred Trees.

There are many sacred treas Of
India which enter largely into the re-
ligious life of the Hindoos. Chief
among these is the sami tree and the
trembling peepul. Nearly all the
higher hills and rocks in the plains
are crowded each by a temple, shrine
or sacred tree. The peepul Is known
as the king of trees. 1t is the most
holy, and the three great spirits Of
the Hindoos dwell therein. The wor-
ship OF the tree is the worship OF the
triad Brahma, silva and Vishnu. AL
most every Indian village has its
peepul tree, with a raised platform
or altar around it. The devout re-
move their shoes before it and make
obeisance before proceeding on their
way.-Boston Transcript.

The Only Sufficient Dynamic.

In a sermon of great power upon
"The Christian Faith" Rev. w. l..
Watkinson has emphasized the re-
markable words of Isaiah 4S:5, BE
fore it came to pass I showed it thee,
lest thou shouldst say: Mine idol hath
done them" He pointed out that the
master force which has been at the
foundation of the growth of mankind
in all higher qualities was the truth
and hope vouchsafed to Israel" He
said: s'nsF',
1--WE are free to acknowledge that
there have been many collateral, con-
current, hopeful influences, but the
primal point is in the revelation OF
God in His Son Jesus Christ, and all
other uplifting influences must have
proved %unavailing if the knowledge
of God in the Messiah had not given
them efficacy. We are indebted to
supernatural sources, to redemptlVe
truth and grace for it ALL"
The peril that beset Israel, to give
the glory to their craven image, faces
the people Of to-day; and we are bid
den, in press and pulpit, to get rid OF
illusions, and to substitute for them
science and philosophy and politics.
But it remains true that 1.-The best
things Of the race are the creations
of redeeming grace."-London Chris
tian.

Electric Filter.

An electric filter, the invention OF
a Hungarian engineer, is about to
be exhibited in st. Petersburg. The
filter is in two parts, and is of very
simple construction. One part is con-
nected with an electric circuit, which
sends a powerful current through
the drinking water, and thereby kills
at once any heterogeneous in 1t;
the second part is an ordinary filter
of an improved type. This new nj
ter is to be tested in the st. Peters
burg hospitals and laboratories. So
long as the Russian capital sees nj
to discharge it's sewage into the NeVa,
and so long as the people will per-
sist in using the water of that river
for making tea, there will be a SPLEEN
did chance for somebody to make his
fortune and at the same time reduce
the death rate of the Russian capital
by inventing a really reliable filter.

Industrial Education.

The enlightened people of this
country are becoming more and more
impressed with the Importance Of in
dustrial education. We have fallen
somewhat behind the procession in
this respect, but we are not so far be-
hind that we cannot catch up.
Massachusetts has been the first
State to recognize her need and her
responsibility, and has set an EXAM
pie which is attracting attention and
suggesting imitation in other States
and sections. But this is a matter
that it is for our interest to nation
;alize as speedily as possible, that
when progress along this line is re-
to it shall mean the United
States and not any particular part OF
it.-Boston Transcript.

The Equality of Men.

A New Yorker who does his Lit of
"slobe-trotting" tells Of two odd en-
tries that he saw in the visitors book
of a fashionable resort on the Rhine.
A few years ago II of the Paris
members of the Rothschild family
had registered as follows: "R. de
Paris"

to inscribe his name in the book was
Baron Oppenheim, the banker of Co.

into straight cuffs, but when elbow

with those of the Follower sort. The

Black Velvet Collars

Black velvet ribbon dog collars are
the latest fad. Slides are set with
diamonds in the expensive designs
and rhinestones in moderate priced
collars. The slides are generally OBJ
long or heart shaped, while some Of
those copied from the expensive styles
are designed in intricate scroll pat
terms. Ribbon bracelets also are pop
ular, and they come with slides in
designs to match the collars.

travels of a Crab.

In his report for the quarter end
Ing September 80 the fishery officer
for the Northeastern District states
that he received one marked crab
during the quarter. 1t was captured
at Boddin, close to Montrose, Scot
land. 1t had travelled from four miles
north of Scarborough Castle, a dis
lance of about 155 miles, in $50 days.
Unless the crab had a lift on the way
from some sportive person it must on
the average have crawled not less
than 500 yards a day.-Westminster

Scarfs Should Harmonic.

Scarfs which are worn with after
noon as we'll as with evening gowns,
should match or harmonic with the
frock. For afternoon wear silks and
crepes which have borders in oriental
designs or stripes are used. Evening
scarfs of chiffon crepe or thin silk
have deep borders of silver or gold
spangles. Smart scarfs are extremely
long, usually reaching nearly to the
hem of the skirt.

In some hot valleys where the sun
