SOWING for Eternity.

I'm the morning sow thy seed, and
in the evening withhold not thine
hand."-Eccl XII. 6.
It Is a law Of the harvest that we
reap more than we SOW. Then how
careful ought we to be of the seed we
are sowing day by day, II we would
reap a rich harvest of golden grain
for the Master. Very much depends
upon the manner in which the seed is
sown, and the fertility Of the soil to
receive the seed, that it may take deep
root and spring up and remain pro-
ductive. In nature, like produces like,
often in tenfold ratio. In grace, the
seed sown sprang up and brought
forth some thirty. some sixty, and
some a hundred-fold. Are we sowing
constantly what it will be our joy and
pleasure to reap in the vast eternity
that lies before us all?

ABIDING IN cHRIsT's LOVE
To His Followers He Always Is Stand
ing Near, Though They Be
Occupied.

"And now, little children, abide in
him; that, when he shall appear, we
may have confidence, and not be
ashamed before him at his coming"
/ John ii:2S.
Abiding in Christ does not mean
that you must always be thinking
about Christ. You are in house,
abiding in it's Enclosure or beneath its
shelter, though you are not always
thinking about the house itself. But
you always know when you leave it.
A man may not always be thinking
of his sweet home circle, but he and
they may nevertheless be abiding in
each others love. And he knows in
stantly when any of them Is in dam
ger of passing out of the warm tropic
of love into the arctic regions of sepa-
ration.
So we may not always be sensible
of the revealed presence of Christ; we
may be occupied with many things Of

Prehistoric Asia.

Central Asia, according to P.of g.
F. Wright, must have been "the cen.
ter from which man was dispersed in
company with the mammoth over the
entire northern hemisphere, as well
as the earliest center of civilization.
A study of the physical changes
which passed over this region con-
temporaneously with those in north
ern America and Europe during the
glacial period and the now undoubt-
ed connection of man with the gla-
cial period, render very plausible the
hypothesis that the changes connect
ed with that period were a contribu-
tory cause of the dispersion OF man
kind from the Asiatic center. Recent
Investigations show that, during the
glacial period central Asia offered a
specially favorable area for the de.
velopment Of man together with both
the vegetable and animal species
upon which he is dependent for
means of sustenance The fertile
plains Of Europe and North America
were opened to occupation by the
melting Of the ice. so that streams of
emigration entered both Europe and
North America from this common
center. In America the Aryan-speak.
ing races are just entering upon this
glacial Inheritance"

Dog Meat for Human Food

According to Paris paper, the pre-
lecture of police has received numer-
GUS applications from persons desir-
GUS of selling dog meat. The permits
have not been granted, for such traffic
is not considered lawful. But if the
number of applications continues to
increase, it is said that the police will
have to obtain definite decision on
the subject Horse, it is well known,
is sold in continental cities, but, as
the Paris authority observes, there
would be an instructive repugnance
to eat the flesh of mans best friend.
The flesh is eaten in China and by the
Eskimos, but, like that of all carniv-
orous animals, it is tough.

Sinele-Handed Holds Thieves at Ba.
Till Relief Arrives.

The double column that followed
was detailed glorification of Michael
Denis Finigan and his great coup.
According to the paper, few min
utes after Finigan had gone on his
beat the previous night, having re-
lieved Officer Jack O'Brien, he had
made the discovery that the rear door
of the Hill mansion was open, and
noiselessly entering the building had
surprised ten hou5ebreakers, collected
in the dining room about basket of
wine.
Covering the men with his revolver
and pressing the electric burglar
alarm, he had held the entire party at
bay till relief arrived, when the ten
men were handcuffed and taken to the
station. Only one shot had been fred,
which Finigan had been forced to ex-
pend on the legs Of one of the house
breakers. who had objected to his
capture.
The paper went on to state that a
grimly amusing fact had subsequently
come to light. The housebreakers had
effected their entrance to the Hill
mansion in parties of two, without the
slightest suspicion that they had been
preceded or were to be followed by
others on like mission.
Imagine their Observation-Disclosures
the reporter-when each pair found
that the same night had been chosen
by four other couples bent on like
robbery, and their still greater sur
prise when officer Finigan had held
them up in body.
Finigan, the paper went on to state,
had already been recommended for
promotion, which he so richly merited.
When O'Brien had finished this re
port, his appetite for breakfast was
quite gone. From his place of con.
cealment under the hedge he had wit
messed the icipience of the whole bust
ness, and had he taken steps to arrest
the men his name would now stand
bracketed with glory instead of the
name of Michael Denis Finigan.
But who the devil would have
thought that ten jimmies would hit

mashed thumb.

O'Brien waited good two minutes
then thrust his helmet from the hedge
with the intention of following, when
he was stayed by the appearance OF

and determinedly, proposing to wait

occupied with their labors, then ii
would be but the work of courage.
GUS five minutes and he would have
them both handcuffed and on their
way to the station house.
Now again he thrust his helmet from
the hedge and was about to quit his
place of concealment, when a third
figure appeared suddenly from the
front Of the mansion, keeping close
to the right wall, and stole to the
rear, where, opening second window
this figure also disappeared into the
mansion.
Why the devil didn't he take the
other window" wondered O'Brien
Sure, they must all belong together
A low whistle came from this sec.
ond window, and a fourth shadow de.
tached itself from shade tree set
half between the building and the
stone wall on the right, and CROSSING
the lawn disappeared into the window
whence the whistle had proceeded.
O'Brien reached for his helmet
which in his establishment had fallen
from his head. Sure, it looks like
business" he meditated. Shall ]
pinch 'em myself, or call up Finigan ~
He decided on the former course:
Though there would be more danger
entailed. there would be more honor
gained. He might even succeed In
landing all four thieves, single-handed
such feat as Jim Maloon had once
accomplishment be marked man
from that night.
Again he felt for his pistol, his
handouts and billy, and was about to
come from the hedge, when he was
stayed by fifth and sixth shadow,
that stole together from around the
left side of the mansion to a rear
door, which they now forced and en-.
tered the house.
Sure, I'll call up Finigan." decided
O'Brien. And I'll send in a hook for
dozen of the boys and a patrol. It's
gang that's got tipped off the serv.
ants are away and have come around
to clean out the place"
He backed towards the stone wall
with the intention of putting this plan
into effect, when again he was stayed,
this time by two men leaping over the
stone wall only a few yards from
where he was concealed.
These men, after crouching for s
minute in the shadow of a hedge.
hugged low cross-hedge to position
opposite the rear wall OF the house,
from where they stole across the mar
row strip of lawn and disappeared
