Church Music.

Such is our nature, that even the
best things. and most worthy of our
esteem, do not always employ and de.

their real value, unless they be set off
and greatened by some outward cir

admiration and surprise in the breasts
of those who hear or behold them

by the power OF sacred music. To it

There is an air space in every egg,
but We notice it particularly in a
boiled one, because the contents have
been made solid by cooking and made
the hollow space more apparent. This
space is provision of nature so that
the chick which grows within the
shell may have air to breathe from
the time 1t comes to life until it be-
comes strong enough to break through
the shell to the outside world. To
generate life in the egg it is neces-
sary thet it be subjected to GER
tain degree of heat for a period OF
q days. When this is not done the
egg remains indefinitely in its raw
state. When it is boiled the pocket
of air within the shell, which would
have been used up by the chick if the
egg had been set to hatch, begins to
fight for its space, and pushes the
boiled contents of the egg back, leav-
ing the hollow space.

A Small World.

CaZalet sat up SO suddenly that his
head hit the woodwork over the upper
berth. His own voice still rang in his
startled ears. He wondered how much
he had said, and how far it could have
carried above the throb of the liners
screws and the mighty pounding Of
the water against her plates. And
then he remembered how he had been
left behind at Naples, and rejoined the
Kaiser Fritz at Genoa, only to find
that he no longer had a cabin to him
self.
A sniff assured Cazalet that he was
neither alone at the moment nor yet
the only one awake; he pulled back
the swaying curtain, and there on the
settee sat man with a strong blue
chin and the quizzical solemnity of an
animated sphinx.
1t was his cabin companion, an
American named Hilton Toye, and
Cazalet addressed him with nervous
familiarity.
Il say! Have been talking in my
sleep?"
why, yes!" replied Hilton Toye,
and broke into a smile that made a
human being of him.
Cazalet forced a responsive grin.
What did l say?" he asked, with an
amused curiosity at variance with his
shaking hend and shining forehead.
Toye took him in from crown to
nngertips, with something deep behind
his kindly smile. 81 judge" said he,

Il saw him lying dead, in my dream. "

"and now it's September eighteenth.

smoking furiously.
