WHEN HEAVEN SEEMED NEAR.

She loved flowers. and her little
garden was always abiaze with the

me now that her delight In their frag-
rance and color was characteristic,

for a chance to drop them before US

making 1t more alluring to our beau
ty-loving eyes. Dear human children
we were TO her-little ones to be TAX
en- into her great motherly arms and
brought to Jesus for His blessing.
Brought, thatwas 1t, not driven. And
SO, when we stood, large weeping
band, around her grave, Heaven
seemed very near and dear, very
homelike to US, because she was
there: and l doubt whether even to
this day there Is one Of us who does
not look forward to her warm well

anticipate visit to her sunny home

PRAY RIGHT.

The source of our most common
misjudgments Of prayer lies in our
forgetfulness Of that truth. People
are apt to test the validity as we'll as
that come to it, They very often an
swer does not come as they expected
it, they begin to doubt whether it is
worth their while to pray. But 1t
needs little proof to show that this is
a mistaken view of prayer and its
purpose. God has not promised to
answer every prayer, nor Is every
prayer, even when earnestly offered
to God. wise in the expression of the
hearts real wants. There is no part
of our life that requires more scru-
tiny and carefulness than the devo-
tional side.
1t is not surprising that SO much
is said in Scripture about prayer, be-
cause, easy though praying seems to
be as an act of mind and soul. there
is no exertion of our nature that
ought to be made with more DELHI
Grafton and wisdom. Jacob is said
to have wrestled with a divine COM
Blatant all through the night by the
lonely stream side; but he wrestled
as truly with himself as with his I'M
known antagonist. He learned a
great lesson about prayer in that en-
counter. No one should pass con-
sciously and deliberately into the
presence of God without realizing
what must be involved In that act
and the interview that follows it. 1t
is a gathering together of the SOULS
powers that they may be firmly set on
God. We cannot collect ourselves
for an act of Intercourse with our
unseen Lord without remembering
that He is wiser and holier than We

of God. To confine it to a petition is
to belittle God in the time of the

COMMON DAYS.

One of the chief dangers of life is
trusting occasions. We think that
CONSPICUOUS events, striking expert
ences, exalted moments, have most
to do with our character and capac-
ity. We were wrong. Common DAYS,
monotonous hours, wearisome paths,
plain old tools, and everyday clothes.
tell the real story. Good habits are
not made on birthdays, nor Christian
character at the New Year. The
vision may dawn, the dream NAV
weaken, the heart may leap with a
new inspiration on some mountain
top, but the test, the triumph, is at
the foot of the mountain, on the level
plain.
The workshop of character is
everyday life. The uneventful and
commonplace hour is where the bat
tie is won or lost Thank God for a
new truth, beautiful idea, a glow
ing experience; but remember that

SNAKE-BITES.

AS is well known, not all snakes
bite, and not all that do bite are
poisonous, but it is not always easy
to distinguish between the harmless
and the poisonous reptiles by their
looks. Appearances, in the snake
world, as we'll as elsewhere, are Of
ten deceitful. and it is not safe to as
sumo that a strange snake is harm
less because he looks like one that is
known to be non-poisonous. One had
better, therefore, not make an init
mate of any snake if his exact status
in ophidian society is not known.
In this country the principal pois
onous snakes are the rattlers, the
moccasins and the copperheads
Snake venom belongs to a large
group of organic chemical compounds
called proteins. The poisonous eff
fects are usually both local and gen.
eral. The local effect is a severe in.
fiammation with hemorrhage, otter
ending in gangrene The systemic
effects are marked by convulsive
symptoms, followed by paralysis
death occurring usually through pa
ralysis of the nerve-centers which
control respiration. Sometimes it is
due to thrombosis, or the formation
of bloOd-clots in the heart and large
arteries.
In the treatment of snake bite, the
first object is to prevent the absorb
ton of the venom by tying a cord OF
rubber band as tightly as possible
round the limb. between the bite and
the heart.
Then an effort must be made to
get rid of the poison in the wound by
cutting it freely, so as to promote
bleeding, and sucking out the venom.
Thirdly, an endeavor must be
made to destroy what remains in the
tissues. This is difficult of accom-
plishment, but the best remedy is
probably a l per cent solution OF
permanganate of potassium, applied
freely to the wound and injected with
q hypodermic syringe into the tissues
In the neighborhood of the bite. A
solution of hypochlorite of lime, one
grain to the dram, used in the same
way, is also recommended.
Prospectors, hunters and others
who are in danger of meeting snakes
In their tramps, often wisely pro-
vide themselves with a piece of rub
Der tubing about one-third of an inch
in diameter, some permanganate of
potassium and bottle of distilled
Water,-in order to make a solution
quickly,-a hypodermic syringe, and
some aromatic spirit of ammonia as
stimulant. Whiskey is less useful
than the ammonia, and is in no sense

Then Tommy he snatched and Peter
he fought,
(I1s SAD and distressing to tell,)
And Archy held on with his might
and his main,
Till out from his fingers 1t fell.
Away from the quarrelsome urchins

And then down a green little hill
The apple 1t rolled and it rolled and
1t rolled,
AS II 1t would never be still.
A lazy old brindle was nipping the
the grass
And switching her tail at the flies,
When all Of sudden the apple roll

And stopped just in front of her
eyes.
She gave but a bite and a swallow
That apple was seen nevermore,
