FIGHTING NATURE.
What One Mans Patient Effort Wruna
 From . Desert In France.

What One Mans Patient Effort Wruns
 From . Desert In France.
 In the southwest of France, between the rivers AdOur and Garonne. are long stretches of pine woods green and cool.
 Where these pines now stand was a barren waste in the middle of the last century. Sun and wind vied with each other in making the land drler and dustier. Over the stormy bay of Bis cay came winds that set up great sandstorms and sometimes buried whole villages. The whole region was one of hopelessness and despair. Fate was against it,
 But finally there came a man who acknowledged fate only as something to be overcome. This man, one Rre- mOntier. was an inspector of roads. He began fencing in the desert. He built a fence and behind it planted broom seeds. Behind the broom seeds he put seeds of the pine. The fence protected the broom seeds. and the broom grew. Then the broom in its turn afforded shelter to the delicate pine shoots,
 Soon the pines spread. and their tough roots bound the sandy soil to- gether. The first step was accomplish ed. Then canals were made to drain the wet parts and carry water to the dry.
 Thus did one man by patient effort turn a dreary desert into a home for an industrious and healthy population. It was an instance of triumph over fate.-New York Tribune.

The Rusineaa of Life.

Life is a business we are all apt to mismanage. either living reckleSsly 
 to be guiled out of our moments by the inanities of custom. We should de spise a man who gave as little activity and forethought to the conduct of any other business. But in this. which is the one thing of all others, since it contains them all. we cannot see the forest for the trees. One brief i'm pression obliterates another. There is something Stupefying in the recurrence of unimportant things. and it is only on rare provocations that we can rise to take an outlook beyond daily con- cernS and comprehend the narrow linn It's and great possibilities of our exist ence.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

The courage of lion at bay, great as it is. is no greater than that of the buffalo. and he must yield his scepter to the elephant declares H. L. Tangye In his book, 'In the Torrid Sudan" as to courage. size. strength and intelli- gence. It is a temptation to declare that. the elephant possesses a sense of humor. A herd of elephants once fell In with train of donkeys. Their attention concentrated on the load the donkeys carried. With all the mischief of monkeys. the loads were torn asunder and their contents distributed over half the province. At Ror on the Mountain Nile. the elephants were at one time full of practical jokes Passing at night time through the vii lage. they would knock the sleepers up by demolishing their huts above their heads, then contentedly march away
