In lives, as in trees, there is sea

Suggestions.
The more we find of God In the
Bible, the more we shall find In ma
ture: and the more we see God In ma
ture. the better we shall understand
our Bibles.
Trees, the greatest of the plant
world, will have many lessons for
man. the greatest Of the animal
world.
A Christian is the stronger for the
reverent study of any natural science
and botany is one of the most convenr
lent and useful sciences for the pur-
pose.
Whoever habitually regards with
reverence the stars by night and the
trees by day can hardly live mean
life.
Illustrations. e.
All parts of the tree-trunk,
branches, roots, blossoms-are only
modified leaves. So let our lives be
formed upon Christ.
To one who understands natural
laws, the winters barrenness is but a
clear prophecy Of the summers lux
urlance. Thus shall we interpret our
hardships.
A nuble old age is like a healthy
tree in autumn; an ignoble old age
is like a worm-eaten tree In spring
When tree ceases to grow, in that
year it begins to die. So with a
man.

LONELY DOUGHERTY ISLAND.
No Landing Ever Made There and
Sighted Only Twice I'm a Century,

Which is the loneliest, most DESC
late and most inaccessible island on
the face of the globe? Many peo-
pie would doubtless plump for one
or the Crozets, which were recently
brought into notice owing to the
wreck thereon of the Norwegian ex.
ploring ship Catherine, and the sub
sequent rescue of the castaway crew
by the Turakina, a British steamer
dispatched from Cape Town for that
purpose.
But Hog Island, the westernmost
OF the group, and the one whereon
the wrecked men spent most of their
time, is by no means an undesirable
place OF residence, sbounding as II
does in hares and rabbits, penguins
albatrosses and sea elephants.
Heard Island, in the same seas, is
far more isolated, as we'll as more
barren; but it possesses, as does Hog.
shelter hut for castaways. and II is
visited by whalers occasionally. So,
too, is South Georgia. but it has no
shelter hut, and as 1t is right out of
the track of shipping any one un.
lucky enough to be cast away there
on would stand very poor chance Of
ever getting off alive.
Bouyet Island. in the same seas. is
visited ever more rarely, and on the
last occasion when ship touched
there Ave corpses were found frozen
ON the beach, grim memento of some
unrecorded tragedy of the sea. Pos.
session Island, in it's turn, is still
lonelier and more inhospitable than
Bouvet.
But probably the palm in this di.
rection must be ascribed to Dough-
erty Island, on which, so far as is
known, no landing has ever yet been
eifected. 1t has only been sighted
twice in a century. and is oficially
described in the admiralty sailing di.
rections as the most remote and iso.
lated spot on earth. ."--Pearson's

Care Of Youme Chlckens-

Take care of your young chickens.
They should not be let out of their
eoops too early in the morning, or
when the dew Is on the ground; still
less should they be suffered to range
over the wet grass, which is COM
mon cause OF disease and death.
They should also be guarded against
sudden unfavorable changes OF wea-
ther, more particularly II attended
with rain. Nearly all the diseases OF
gallinnceous fowls arise from cold
moisture. The period at which chicks
are left to shift for themselves de-
pends upon the disposition of the
hen. Some Will continue their atten-
tions to their chickens till they are
nearly fulI-grown, while others viii
cast them Off much earlier. In the
latter case an eye should be kept up
on them for a few days. for chickens
in this half-grown state are much
more liable to disease than when they
were apparently tender little weak
lings.

The Foot of a Horse.

The foot of horse is one of the
most ingenious and unexampled
pieces of mechanism in animal struc-
ture. The hoof contains a series OF
verticles and thin laminae of horn,
amounting to about 500, and forming
complete lining to 1t. In this are
fitted as many laminae belonging to
the coffin-bone, while both sets are
elastic and adherent. The edge of a
quire of paper, inserted leaf by leaf
into another, will convey a sufficient
idea of the arrangement. Thus the
weight of the animal is supported by
as many elastic springs as there are
laminae in all the feet, amounting TO
about 1000, distributed in the most
secure manner, since every spring is
acted on in an oblique direction.

The Great Lesson of Life.

What a vast proportion of our lives
is spent in anxious and useless fore
bodings concerning the future-eith-
er our own or those of our dear
ones. Present joys. present bless
ings slip by and we miss half their
favor, and all for want of faith in
Him who provides for the tiniest
sunbeam.
On, when shall we learn the sweet
trust in God that our little children
show us every day by their confiding
faith in us? We, who are so muta-
bic, so faulty, so irritable, so unjust;
and He who is so watehful, so pitt.
ful. 50 loving, so forgiylng? Why
can not We, slipping our hand into
His every day, walk trustingly over
that days appointed path, thorny or
tlowery crooked or straight, know
ing that evening will bring us sleep,
peace and home?-Phillips Brooks.

Roots For breeding Ewes.

Among wei1-informed stock breed
ers, 1t is generally accepted as true
that the feeding of roots, either car.
rots or beets or even potatoes, to
breeding ewes during the lambing
season and until the new grass is
plentiful produces most beneficial re-
suits in the way of increasing the
flow of milk. 1t is a good plan to
commence the feeding of roots
month at least before lambing. In
feeding them, sprinkle on a liberal
supply of bran and meal mixed in
equal quantities. AS we'll as roots,
always feed the best of hay; and feed
regularly, three times each day, If
your sheep are not out to pasture.

Events Are Gods

God hath a thousand keys to open
a thousand doors for the deliveranoe
of His own, when it has come to the
extremity, once said Samuel Ruther-
ford. Let us be faithful and care for
our part, which is to do and suffer
with Him. and lay Gods part on
Himself and leave 1t there; duties
are ours, events are the Lords.
When our faith goes to meddle
with events, and to hold a court Uf
so 10 speak, upon Gods providence.

Thou do this or that?" we lose

there. 1t is our part to let the AL.

Electrolysis is; the only practical
method known for manufacturing

aluminium in the electric furnace by
reduction OF aluminium with carbon

One OF the last contributions to
science made by Henri Moissan. the

was classification of the boiling
point of metals. His experiments with
the electric furnace demonstrated
that there exists no known solid
