The Discipline of Life.

Sooner or later We find out that
life is not holiday, but discipline.
Earlier or later we all discover that
the world Is not playground; IL is
quite clear God means 1t for q school.
The moment we forget that, the puz-
zle of life begins. We try to play in
school; the Master does not mind
that SO much for it's own sake, for
He likes to see His children happy,
but in our playing we neglect our
lessons. We do not see how much
there is to learn, and we do not care,
but our Master cares. He has a per-
fectIy overpowering and inexplicable
solicitude for our education; and be-
cause He loves us, He comes into the
school sometimes, and speaks to us.
He may speak very softly and gently,
or very loudly. Sometimes a look is
enough, and we understand 1t, like
Peter. and go out at once, and weep
bitterly. Sometimes the voice is like
a thundercIap, startling summer
night. But one thing we may be sure
of-the task He sets us to is never
measured by our delinquency. The
discipline may seem far less than our
desert, or even to our eye ten times
more. But it is not measured by
these; it is measured by Gods love;
measured solely that the scholar may
be better educated when he arrives
at his Father. The discipline of life
is a preparation for meeting the
Father. When we arrive there to
behold His beauty" we must have
the educated eye; and that must be
trained here. We must become so
pure in heart-and it needs much
practice-that We shall "see God."l
That explains life-why God puts
man in the crucible, and makes him
pure by fire.-Henry Drummond.

A Talk About OstricheS.

The largest of all birds is the ost-
rich. 1t stands from seven to ten
feet high, and usually weighs about
forty pounds, though some ostriches
have been known to be a good deal
heavier than that.
In its native state the ostrich is
found in the deserts of Africa and in
some parts of Asia. The Arabs call
it the "camel-bird," because in some
respects it is like that animal, known
as the ship of the desert.
The ostrich has short wings, which
are too small to enable it to fly, but
when running it spreads these wings
like sails. II runs more swiftly than
any other creature, and it's speed at
times is SAID 70 equal sixty miles an
hour. 1t would be impossible for the
swfftest horse to overtake it but for
the curious fact that it runs in a cir
Gle, and therefore the Arabs some
times succeed in capturing it by u.s.
ing their fastest horses.
The ostrich is not very particular
as to what it eats. 1t prefers vege-
tables and fruits, but it will also eat
lizards, snakes and other living Gre
atures. Besides these, it will swal-
low gravel, stones, and even pieces
OF metal. Indeed, the ostrich is so
careless as to what it swallows that
IL sometimes dies as the result.
The ostrich is valuable for its
beautiful plumes, which are greatly
priced as ornaments. Because of the
great value of these plumes, it has
been found worth while to establish
ostrich farms both in South Africa
and In our own land, where ostriches
are raised in large numbers for the
sake OF their beautiful feathers.
In our own country these ostrich
farms are found chiefly in California,
and have proved very successful. The
ostrich lives to the age of eighty
years, and, as the plumes can he
piucked about every seven months
a large profit can be made on each
olrd that is raised.-Apples of Gold

The True Wife.

Literal Obedience.

ficer, he had already made a reputa-
ton as rigid disciplinarian. One
day it CHANGED that a midshipmap
whom he had sent ashore went a
trlffe beyond the instructions given
him with relation to his errand. The
matter was not of the least import
ance, but Markham chided him
sharply.

do simply what you are told to do,
and never particle more or less.''
The midshipman touched his hat
respectfully, but he thought the re-
buke uncalled for. A few days later.
Markham summoned him again and
said
You will take a boat, sir, and go
ashore to the post-office. See if there
is package addressed to me-"
aye, aye. SIR
The midshipman took the boat and
went ashore. When he returned.
Markham asked:
well, sir, was there a package
for me at the post-office?"
Eyes, SIR" replied the midship-
man touching his cap.

From Baltimore comes the report
that more money is being wagered on
the outcome of tonight's fifteen round

and Young Britt, of Baltimore, than
was ever bet on a Baltimore fight. Britt

Britt's Sypirers are demanding odds.
BY Writ. - two Victories nearly two
years ago Kline is confident Of winning be-
fore the fight goes to the limit. He wound
up his t~ralning last night at the Eureka
Club, and is in the pink of condition. His
final weight was 1872 pounds. while Britt
was at least 12S.
Another bunch of the Newark lads fol-
lowers will go to Baltimore for tho fight.
They will carry rolls of money and will bet
even that Kline stops the Baltimore boy be-
fore the ten rounds. Young Britt recently
made Joe Wagner, of New York. quit IN
four rounds, and his admirers think he has
the indian sign on Kline in tonight's bout.
