To Walk With God.

Life is full of minor vexations as
well as major sorrows, and for both
the little and the big troubles divine
grace must constantly be sought and
put into exercise, lest this or that dis
ciple be swallowed up of overmuch
sorrow, as Paul feared some in his
time might be. Life is a school, and
in every school discipline must be
maintained. Many of the hard tests
that come to us are of our own in
curing, and all are meant for our
spiritual good. If God did not love us
he would permit us always to be at
ease in Zion There are gains and ad-
vantages, as the world regards them,
which are dear at any price. since
they tend to separate us from God. 1t
is better, if need be, to walk in the
dark with God than to go alone in the
light

JAPANESE TIDB!TS.

FilIet of Raw Fish, Whales and Rice
Locusts Among Them.
One of the great food delicacies of
Japan is sashimi. Il tillet of raw fish
served with soy and condiments. This
dish. though highly recommended by
both japanese and European medical
authorities. is pronounced queer or un-
civilized by those not born to the GUS
tom of eating it.
When these critics are reminded.
however. of their eating live oysters
with gusto it occurs to them. says the
Oriental Review. that the one is at
least more artistic in appearance than
the other. though both may be equally
palatable and nutritious
1t is likely that very few English
people know that the fisher folk along
the DevOnshire coast are accustomed
to eat laver. an edible seaweed. and so
think it very odd that the Japanese
should use certain sea weeds as an ar

Ferns. burdock roots. lily buds. To-

chrysalis of the silkworm. rice locusts.
the octopus. whales and sea slugs
eaten in some parts of China and Japan
are sure to shock their fine sensibili-
ties.
And yet the most civilized epicures
relish snails and frogs legs. which are
just as odd in their way as those vare-
ties of animal food mentioned above.

IN FEAR OF HONORARY TITLE
Baron Steuben Alarmed Lest He
Should Meet Mishap That sefeI
Lafayette.

Some men have Stunned honorary
have coveted them
After Lafayette had been made a
doctor of laws by a New Jersey col
lege shortly before the close of the
Revolutionary war, Baron Steuben
was in great fear lest he should meet
with similar mishap Having to pass
through college town where the
marquis had been thus distinguished,
the old warrior, so the story runs,
halted his men and thus addressed
them:
You shall have to spur the horses
we'll and ride through this place ike
the devil, for, if they catch you, they
will make doctors of you"
There is another story that only
few years ago, when college degrees
We're scattered somewhat lavishly, an
illiterate old man of great wealth, hav-
ing been honored with degree by
a college which he had laid under OBJ
legation, made wager that he could
obtain similar honor for his serv-
ant. He won the wager and, en-
couraged by his success, made anoth-
er that he could obtain a degree for
his horse. This time, however, he
lost. The college authorities got wind
of his game, and in answer to his
request for doctorate for So-and-so
the president wrote courteous note,
saving that thouoh tho fruofoor woro
anxious to oblige SO good friend Of
the college, they had found on exam
ination of the records that though
they had once conferred a degree
upon jackass, there was no prece-
dent for comforting one upon a horse.
