Inappropriate Songs.

"Our Sunday school superintendent
once gave a lecture on Inappropriate
songs" says a musical director OF an
uptown church, In which he told OF
visiting the primary room to find the
infants Justify singing:
MY latest sun Is sinking fast
My race IL nearly run.
"And our presiding elder used to tell,
with great glee, Of bishop who at a
general conference retired with his
committee to the anteroom to finish
an important report, a song service to
fill the gap. As the returning clergy
men filed down the main aisle, headed
by the bishop, the chorus came ont on:
See tho mighty hosts advancing.
Satan leading on.
"But the most amusing incident that
really came under my own observation
was while assisting In q revival serv-
ice In a small western town. The
evangelist seemed to find In a very
successful doctor of that place a sub
ject for special and unusual effort
One evening, while he was earnestly
exhorting with tho medical gentleman
to come to the altar, an enthusiastic
sister began singing:
1.-THE great physician now 10 near.
"A smile ran through the audience,
the doctors eyes twinkled, and the
divine himself with difficulty maintain
ed a straight face. It Is needless to
add that there was no conversion that
night."-Buffalo Times.

The Diamond.

Writing on "Tho Romance of the
Diamond" In the North American Re-
view" Sir william Crookes refers to
that the diamond Is a gift from heaven
conveyed to earth In meteoric showers
and he confesses that the theory Is not
without support. His description OF
the Kimberley diamond mines Is inter
estlng. The writer says:
"Many circumstances point to the
conclusion that the diamond of the
chemist and the diamond of the mine
are strangely akin as to origin. II Is
evident that the diamond has not been
formed In stu In the blue ground
where 1t Is found. The genesis must
have taken place at vast depths under
enormous pressure. The explosion Of
large diamonds on coming to the sur
face shows extreme tension. More dia-
monds are found In fragments and
spllnters than In perfect crystals. and
1t is noteworthy that. although these
splinters and fragments must be de-
rived from the breaking up OF large
crystal. yet In only one instance have
pieces been found which could be fitted
together, and these occurred at differ
ent levels. Does not this fact point to
the conclusion that the blue ground Is
not their true matrlxf Nature does not
make fragments OF crystals. As tho
edges Of the crystals are still sharp and
unabraded, the locus of formation can
not have been very distant from the
present sites. There were probably
many sites Of capitalization differing
In place and time or we should not see
such distinctive characters in the gems
from different mines nor indeed in dla-
monds from different parts Of the same
