His Toothpicks.

Mr.. Corson, owner of the sawmill,
had his eye on every stick of timber
in the county, and the owner of
every poor little clump and grove had
his eye on Mr.. Corson and the rising
prices of lumber.
George Wales cut this thin squad OF
pines, trimmed. the logs, and piled
them in his front lot by the road.
Then he waited for the time when
he should accidentally be visible on
the place and Mr.. Corson should
drive by.
The encounter took place in due
time. Mr.. Corson ratified past in his
wagon, took a sidelong look at the
pile Of logs, and called, Say, George,
don't you know it amt polite to throw
your toothpicks round the front
yard?"-Youth's Companion.

Good Snail Year, Good Sheep Year,

Most people would be Mortified

the world comes from sheep fattened

Southdown sheep; nevertheless IL

plentiful the mutton from our sheep
has delicious flavor which IT nevei
acquires from the most scientific form
OF feeding. On the continent diet

sumption and is said 10 fatten and

due largely 10 the quantity OF wild
thyme which they crop with the

Moving Parts Which Arc the "Brains
of Plant Life"

OI Ilant Lie.
There are two classes of plants
which are melted by mans presence
TO describe certain definite move
ments. One class, the sensitive
plants, retract their leaflets as we APP
proach them as if they resented any
attempt at closer intimacy, while the
other class, comprising all those vines
which develop climbing organs called
tendrils, will reach out toward us IL
we place our hands in contact with
them, and will even use finger as q,
support to climb upon. We know
that these tendrils will wind just as
readily about twig or grass stem,
but as one feels these sensitive
strands multiply their encircling coils
about ones fingers there almost
and the vegetable world more inti-
mate relationship than has ever ex-
listed before.
Tendrils are indeed capable of ex-
hibiting faculties and going through
evolutions more wonderful perhaps
thoh many Vi 10 IL ohly
after we have seen them at work,
testing with their sensitive tips the
objects they come In contact with,
apparently considering their suitable
ity as a support and then accepting or
rejecting them, as the case may be
it is only then that we realize how
justly they have been called the
brains of plant life"
The thoroughness with which these
wandering tips explore their sur
roundings is illustrated by an in
stance / observed in a grapevine ten
drill. A cherry branch, whose leaves
had been variously punctured and
scalloped by insects, hung near the
tendril, and a particular leaf had
just one small hole in it's blade, not
over three-sixteenths of an inch in
diameter. SO careful had been the
exploration Of the leafs surface that
this one small hole had been discov-
cred by the tendril, which had thrust
itself nearly three inches through
the opening Harper Magazine.

which our fathers never dreamed OF.
The study of these lands and peoples
throws a flood Of light on the language
and history of the Hebrew people, the
study of Hebrew quickens our interest
in these great fields Of exploration and
the wonderful discoveries Of modern
times. The distinguished scholar HON.
MEL I believe, has said that the time is
near when every student Of the Bible
will be an archaeologist; now it is pos
sible to be something of an archaeologist
without knowledge of Hebrew, but the
student Of Hebrew will surely have
more intelligent grasp Of the situation
and his delight will be correspondingly
increased.
4. With a knowledge Of Hebrew the
other languages Of the family are easily
mastered, a few weeks or months
will suffice to acquire knowledge
reading knowledge of the other dialects,
for they all stand closely related to each
other, much as the romance languages
do. This makes the study Of Hebrew an
enticing subject.
S. It will give us truer and deeper
appreciation of the literature of the
Old Testament It is well understood
among scholars that the Bible is liter
ature of marvellous beauty and power.
1t is library Of masterpieces. The
student of Hebrew has his own feast Of
revelations from this source. He can
not only see it as others when pointed
out to him, but his study Of the Ian
guage compels him to see it.
6. 1t encourages proper estimate,
knowledge and use Of the Old Testament.
The Old Testament is too much neglected
in the pulpit. Jesus and his disciples
lived and moved in the Old Testament.
1t was all the book they had. Besides, it
traces clearly the relation between God
and His world, between God and man,
and man and his fellow, and contains the
solution Of many Of our social ills.
7. 1t has rhetorical value apart
from the aid it furnishes in interpreta-
ton. GA sermon needs the qualities,
of simplicity, concreteness and conversa-
tional intensity the study of Hebrew
helps us to acquire these qualities. The
simplicity of the language in it's words
and sentences, it's freedom from alb
stractions, it's presentations Of thought
in concrete and sensible forms it's
wealth Of imagery and illustration can
not fail to encourage simplicity Of style
and popular oratory, and the influence
of the Hebrew prophets with their nerv-
Gus energy and thrilling eloquence,
which can be seen nowhere as in the orig

fessor of Hebrew in the Virginia
Theological Seminary.

sary or waste Of time and as some Of
our bishops appear to be making a
rather free and reckless use Of dispen-
sations from the study Of this language,
it seems to us desirable to state the more
important reasons for retaining this
study in that place of dignity which it
has held in the past. We will endeavor
to do this as briefly as possible.
1. The study Of the Bible in our the
illogical seminaries should be placed on
the most scholarly basis; there can
hardly be any dispute on this point. 1t
would seem to follow without contradic-
ton that the sacred languages should be
our Text Book. That students studying
for the sacred ministry should be able
to handle only the English Bible in the
class room, as we are informed is ire
quently the case, the use of the Hebrew
being exceptional, where the study is
elective, seems to us disgrace. The stu
dent should be able to refer to and draw
his inspiration from the original sources.
Only knowledge of the sacred tongues
can assure us Of the accuracy Of ver-
sion and make us independent and re-
sponsible expositors Of the Word Of God.
AS four-ffths of the Bible is in Hebrew
the value Of this study can not be- over
looked, and any movement toward elm
mating it partly or wholly from the
course should be received with the grav
est concern.
g. There never was time when the
Old Testament revelation in its various
aspects, literary, critical, religious and
otherwise, occupied as much attention.
The Old Testament stands to-day where
The New Testament stood a generation
ago. All eyes are directed towards the
primary sources Of the Christian re-
igion. To be abreast Of the times in the
critical discussions of the Theological
world, and to escape the humiliation OF
confessing ignorance on all occasions,
and the. necessity Of submitting to the
authority Of the so-called experts, it is
clear the minister should understand, if
possible, the language in which the docu-
ments were written; only the most serl-
Gus reasons should induce a student to
forego this privilege.
3. The claims Of sister tongues and
Bible lands are pressing upon us. She
mitic study is hardly out of it's infancy:
We are just beginning to understand
the different branches Of the family and
their relations to each other. Com
parative philology in the Shemitic fam
lily is the scientific method Of research
and lays an imperative claim on the stu
dent of the Bible. And we are becom-

students that some Of their best lessons
in elocution have been received in the
Hebrew class room, it thus furnishes a
valuable aid to another important de-
partment Of study. Confusion of sound
is quickly removed by the imperative ne
cessity of distinct enunciation and the
string Of many tongue loosed. 1t re-
veals the necessity Of and demands good
reading. It calls attention to the place
Of emphasis and the logical value Of the
accents, the oldest commentary on the
Hebrew text.
9. It cultivates taste for the best
books and induces the greatest economy
of time as well as the most scientific
study. The student with his Hebrew
Bible Grammar and Lexicon gets behind
the great world Of commentaries, and
finds after awhile that he can under
stand, criticize, and dispense with most
of them. He throws away his crutches,
and learns to respect himself, and is
never in want Of material to feed his
flock. The easiest way to find material
for a sermon is to dip into the primary
sources.
10. Let us look little into the value
of Hebrew word-study and grammatical
forms.

DON'T BURN SANTA
CAUTIONS PURTELL.
Large Loss of Property Will Be Averted
if Great Care Is Taken in Light
inp EyerpreerS

MADISON. Wis, Dec. s. Special. -
To protect Santa Claus from being
burned and property from being de-
stroyed, Fire Marshal T. NJ. PurtelI has
issued notice of warning that but little
timsy and inhammable material should
be used in the decoration of Christmas
trees In years past casualties from
this source have been second to those or
the Fourth of July festivities.
THE season is at hand when word
OF warning as to the decoration and ma,
t1re thereof is timely said Fire Mar
shat Purtcll today. Each year the use
OF inhammable and Aimsy material used
in decorations is the cause of many fires,
large losses OF property and frequently of
life. This could be avoided to large
extent by usina Judgment in the selcc-
ton of materials for decorations and in
the placing of the same.
Zone of the most highly infiammable
and consequently one of the most danger
Gus materials is cotton, yet in the past
1t has been the material most commonly
used. In fact, all decorations around
lights are dangerous and should be avoid
ed as even the electric bulb. which is the
safest, often becomes hot enough to ig-
mite paper, which comes in contact with
It, The Christmas tree and almost all
the evergreens ordinarily used for decor
alton purposes should be handled care
fully, as when they become dry, they are
very easily ignited
In the arrangements of the tree all
decorations should be on before the can
dies are lighted, and these should be ex-
tlngulShed before anything is removed
from the trees Also the practice of set
ting a tree in or near window on
which lace curtains are draped. should
be avoided as a draft, or tipping Of
tree might easily cause a serious fire.
More caution and less cotton is
good motto for holiday decorations"
