Harper's Monthly gives the follow

many years ago been sent as mis-
sionary' to the Indians, found an old
Indian who could read, to whom he
gave a copy of the New Testament.
After the noble red man read it thor

baptized. The missionary according

much wealth and learning, nor cloth

ness, nor town, nor country, nor sta

DANCING.

The dancing of silly girl gave oc-
casion for the loss of life to the first
Baptist preacher who ever lived; and
the refusal of Baptist lady when in
vited to dance now is blessed of God
to the opening of a wondrous avenue
for truth into the priest-ridden coun-
try of papal Mexico, with a prospect
of a glorious result in the nlighten-
ment and salvation of many precious
souls. All Baptists should be OPP
posed to dancing, for it has never yet
done otherwise than inture those
who engage in it, while its reproofs
and refusals have been blessed Of
God. Faithful old brother John
would be rejoiced, were he now on
earth, to think such a great blessing
was about to come upon race of
people by one of his sisters manifest
ing his spirit boldly before the Gov
ernor. We want more such women.

OLD PROBLEMS.

When King Alfred the Great was
reigning over England thousand
years ago, school children pondered
over problems in arithmetic much as
our boys and girls do now.
Here are two taken word for word
from the lesson book of that day:
"The swallow once invited the
snail to dinner. He lived just one
league from the spot, and the snail
travelled at the rate of only one inch
a day. How long would it be before
he dined?"
"An old man met a child. Good
day, my son. said he. May you live
as long as you have lived, and as
much more, and thrice as much as
all this; and if God give you one year
in addition to the others, you will
be a century Old What was the
boys age?'-Exchange

NATURES INCUBATOR.

On a ranch in. valley of the Col
orado desert we find new and
strange method of Matching chick
ems.
Many artesian wells are in this
valley to furnish water for irriga-
ton. They are made by drilling
hole in the earth, and as the dirt is
drawn out a pipe is pushed in till
water is reached, which then rises to
the top and flows over the edge.
One hole was drilled for $50 feet
into the earth, and a flow Of water
came up with a temperature of one
hundred and two degrees. Since the
chicks will hatch when eggs are kept
just about as warm as this for twen-
ty-one days, the people who own this
we'll decided to use its heat to hatch
eggs.
The earth was dug away from the
pipe, so that the water, as it flowed
over, formed a pool, in which an in
genious form of incubator can be
submerged.
Of course, the eggs would spoil If
placed directly in the water, so a
round can of galvanized iron was
made, eighteen inches in diameter
and six inches deep. By stretching
the arm and hand down this chin
ney, the eggs are placed on straw on
the bottom of the can. In this way
too, they are turned twice each day
and out of the chimney the chicks
are drawn when two days old. They
are then placed in brooders and Civ
en- their first food and water
The can is securely fastened in the
warm pool by weights. The only
things that appear above the watel
are the chimney and the end of 6
small tube which is inserted in the
bottom of the can and curves up
ward.
Through the chimney the foul ali
rises and escapes. Into the tube
rushes fresh air with moisture
which ascends as vapor from the wa
ter. Both are necessary to give
health and strength to the little birds
growing in the shells.
These chicks are as strong as an.
chicks have ever been, and matched
in this way, it is claimed that the.

Sure enough. they returned in a

"Oh, I'm so glad" Harry excla!m-

There isn't very much in that,
Ralph asserted. THE book says that
they have a liquid which roughens

of defending themselves.

Some peoples religion has very
little song about it, new or old. 1t
walls and groans. True religion
sings here, and will sing more here
after. Distrust your religion unless
it is cheerful, unless it turns every
act and deed to music and exults in
attempts to catch the harmony of the
new life. Let the saints be joyful
in glory; let them sing aloud upon
their beds"-that was David's exhor-
tation. Blessed be our Christian faith,
that does not let us creep dolefully
along the path, but turns each new
advance into new hymn Of triumph,
and bursts the walls Of the narrow
way with the triumphant voices Of
the pilgrims, and keeps before us al
ways the promise Of the new song be-
fore the throne!-Phillips Brooks.

THE THING SHE BIDN'T SAY.

Il think the very meaneSt thing
you can say. sometimes, is just moth
ing at ALL" said Prue Elder. with a
decided nod of her auburn head.
The girls gave a shout Of laughter.
How can you say anything mean
when you say nothing at ally" asked
Bessie Snow.
We'll, will tell you. l was stay
ing up at Aunt Riah's last summer,
you know, getting strong after ty-
phoid fever All the girls were nice
to me, because they knew | couldn't
play, or even read very much. and
needed to be entertained. I never
knew before that girls could be so
nice. l got to love them ali.
There was one III particular. Her
name was Alice Otis. and you'll all
know her I hope, because she's COM
ing to visit me next vacation.
AT first I thought Alice rather
odd. She is very quiet, and she would
have been hard to get acquainted
with, only that she was sorry for me
because had been i'll, and took par
ticular pains.
81 just can't tell you all the things
that Alice did for me. She had a
pony and cart, and almost every day
she used to take me for a drive. Then
she would bring me flowers and read
to me, and even play and sing FOR
me, though 1 found afterwards she
would hardly ever do that for any
one-she is so timid.
We'll, there was crowd of girls
that call themselves the stickers,' be-
cause they always stick together.
They are a little bit-just a little bit
noisy and slangy, but after all, they
were good-natured and popular. and
well, to tell you the truth, l felt
flattered that they took me into their
bunch and seemed to like me.
''One day we were all out on Aunt
Riah's porch with our fancy-work-

Alice Otis name was mentioned, and
they all begun at once to talk about

A BIRD THAT NEVER FLIES.

The ostrich because of its resem-
b1ance to the camel, has been said to
be the connecting link between
beasts and birds. There is a horny
excrescense ON the breast of both
the dromedary and the ostrich, on
which they lean while resting; they
have similarly formed feet; the same
muscular neck; their food is much
the same, and both can go an in
credfbly long time without water.
Moreover, an ostrich never flies,
nor is it possible for it to lift itself
from the ground in the slightest de-
gree by the use Of it's wings; but,
like the camel, it is very swift-footed.
In its native country the shells of the
eggs afford almost the only house
hold utensil used. An egg will weigh
from three to. four pounds, and is
equal to two dozen hens eggs. II
| requires thirty-five minutes to boil
one, and longer if required hard. A
fresh egg is worth twenty-five dol
lars.
The keeper of. an ostrich farm says
the birds are the only thing he evel
tried that he has not succeeded il
tanning. They are known to live te
be seventy-f1ve years old, and some
think they will reach a hundred
They are about eight feet in height
Their hearing and sight are very
j acute and these seem to be about al
i the sense they are lessed with. Theil
legs are very powerful, and are tn,
