The Rain Was Hot.

Mrs. Goitt had been waiting for q
week or more to give her rear porch O
good scrubbing, but she was always
afraid of mourning the keen displeas
ure Of the people in the fiat below
who, it seemed, were never off Their
porch and who would get all the drip
pings Of her scrubbing operation.
When it raincd though, Mrs. Goitt
saw what she thought was her oppor-
tunity. The people down below surely
would not be out on the porch during
the rainstorm, and all the water that
dripped down would be attributed to
the rain. She flled bucket with boil
ing hot water, threw in Il sallow cake
of soap and got busy.
But she had reckoned wrong, for the
people down below were on their porch
enjoying the shower In minute Mrs.
Goitt heard Il woman's voice below
saying: why, Martha, the rains com
ing through from the porch above. The
roof must leak"
And then Martha observed, with a
gasp: Yes. And, oh, heavens, had YOU
noticed that the rain is hot? Did you
ever hear of such thing? Aren't ter
rible things happening? All these aw-
ful murders, ana now hot rain. But it's

Why They Don't Desert.

instances of desertion from the

the best of reasons said Senor Jose
de AIinaldez of Nueva Leon.
"The reason lies in the almost sure
capture Of the fugitive and the certain
ty that he will get not one but numer.
Gus floggings on his bare back. These
lashings are done in the presence OF
the comrades of the descrtcr, and when

A Horses Toenafls.

Few persons realize that horse
hoof is really the same thing as the toe
nails of human beings or Of animals
having toes The horn Of hoof grows
Just as q toenail does.
Tie hoof grows more rapidly in I'M
shod horses than in those wearing
shoes, and it grows faster in horses
which are well groomed and well fed.
Eut on an average, says the New York
Sun, the horn grows about third OF
an inch a month.
Hind hoofs grow faster than fore
hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the
longest part, it takes longer for the horn
to grow down there than at the heel.
For instance, the toe will grow entire
" down in from eleven to thirteen
mouths. while the heel will grow down
in from three to five months.
AS the new horn grows out any
cracks or defects in the old gradually
work down to where they can be cut
off Just as with human finger nails you
can watch the progress Of a bruise
from the root to the tip.

PIETY IN ACTION.

by their fruits ye shall know them"
Mass. Z: Is.
Fruit bearing is a vital process. We
are learning to-day to express religion
in terms of life, to measure it not by
its power to repress but by it's power
to develop and express the best in man.
The test OF any creed is not the an
tiQuity of its authorities, but the vital
ity of its ideals, its power over the
hearts and lives Of men to make new
heaven and new earth wherein dwells
rightness
This is the reason the old creeds pass
away, because each new day sees q
higher vision, catches larger glimpses
of what man must be. Religion be-
comes democratic, it is the voice Of the
people crying out for the highest good.
of humanity seeking after truth and
fullness of life.
In our day religion passes from phi
losophy to practice. Once when relig-
ion was regarded as a package Of truth
contained IN special casket, the all
important thing was to preserve that
package unbrOken. When we see re-
ligion as the soul of humanity seeking
the eternally good that search forces
us beyond old truths, beyond tracks
made on yesterdays road, forces us to
drop the garments of the past, the
packages of ancient PHILOSOPHERS and
press into to-day's truth.
Every true search for truth demands
