Elizabeth rock, on the Cornish coast, a
marvellous colossal statue of that
great monarch, crown on her head

natures architecture, as the cathedral
rocks of the Derbyshire caverns. or the
castellated fortress near Roche, or the
magnificent coluinnar hall or Staifa,
every column sylnmetrically shaped
with mathematical precision. And,
throughout the world, are numerous
other instances OF natural rocks which
have assumed familiar shapes. as the
palisaded banks of the little river Vo-
liant In Francs, which, until examined,
1t is difficult to believe are not of arti-

of Bertrich-Baden, every column Ike a
pile of rounded chooses; with many oth-

But amongst the strangest, and certain

natural conformauons of rocks, is the

and unmistakable. (1he terms calvary

There is no order or method anywhere
They browse, or cogitate, but they DO

Slovenly mental habits will destroy the
finest minds. The strength and per-
dstency Of our habitual thought force
measure our efficiency. The habitual
thought-force in many people is so fee

focus their minds with sufficient Vigor
to accomplish much. We can quickly
tell the first time we meet a person
whether his thought-force is strong
or weak. for every sentence he utters
will partake OF its quality. The per-
son who has a negative thought-force
betrays his lack of strength in his
