BUNYAN ACTIVE TO THE END
His Last Years Busy Though Peace
full Ones and Death Result Of
Act of SeIf-Sacrifice.

The closing years of the life of John
Bunyan were peaceful, unlike in that
respect the years that had gone before,
but they We're busy years, devoted to
preaching, to the work of q pastor and
teacher. Of these closing years,
F'roude, in his Life of Bunyan," ed
tied by John Morley, writes, Happy
in his work, happy in the sense that
his influence was daily extending
spreading over his own country, and to
the far-off settlements in America, he
spent his last years in his own land
of Beulah, Doubling Castle out of
sight, and the towers and minarets of
Emmanuel land growing nearer and
clearer as the fays went on
His end was brought about by ex-
posure when he was engaged in an act
of charity. A quarrel had broken out
in a family at Reading with which
Bunyan had some acquaintance. The
father and son were at variance, and
in the hope of reconciling them Bum
van journeyed from Bedford to
leading on horseback He succeeded,
but at the cost of his life.
Returning by London, he was over
taken on the road by storm of rain
and drenched TO the skin. This
brought On a chill He reached the
house of a London friend, Mr.. Strud-
wick. but he never left his bed after
ward. In ten days he was dead. The
exact date is uncertain. 1t was to-
wards the end of August, 1858. be
tween two and three months before
the landing of King William. Bun
yam was sixty years of age. He was
buried in Mr.. Strudwick's vault in
the burying ground at Bunhill Fields.

Make Pets of HornbiIls.

The yellow hOrnbill, one Of the most
interesting Of the species, is a COM
paratively fearless bird and is easily
killed. The male Is fond of perching
on the tiptop' Of tropical trees and
making a noise like young puppy.
The natives in Africa find young
hornbills easily tanned. They dig the
birds out of the tree nests when quite
young and raise them on milk and
berries In their huts. When grown
the hornbill remains attached to its
foster parents and will eat out of the
same dishes. Left free. the hornhill
comes and goes much as does pet
crow and remains about the hut I'M
til the first mating season, when it
goes away with one of it's kind, rare
ly to return.

plant Food In Soil.

A chemical analysis cannot show the
amount of available plant food In q
soil. A chemist could. without diff
Guilty, make an artificial soil contain
ing every element of plant food in
abundance, and yet be perfectly ster-
lie. Peat, for example, is usually very
rich in nitrogen, but it is locked up or
unavailable. To pulverize it and mix
1t with lime is to change 1t into a high
IL nutritious soil.

1T was only . little river, almost Z
brook; it was called the User. One
could talk from one side to the other
without raising ones voice, and the
birds could fly over it with one sweep
Of their wings. And on the two banks
there were millions Of men, the one
toward the other, eye to eye. But the
distance which separated them was
greater than the stars, in the sky; it
was the distance which separates right
from injustice.
