itself the objects of it's attractions, so
the soul of this child fresh with the
glow of innocence, felt instinctively a
kinship with the kindly stranger to
whom she beseechingly stretched out
her little arms. The next moment the
stranger, a young man of noble mien,
had taken her up and seating himself
upon the mound surrounded by vari-
Gus hued foliage, He placed her gently
on His knee, repeating solicitously His
former question:
''But where are the other children?"
They've gone to greet the Carpen-
ter. They spied Him in the valley
and ran to meet Him."
The answer came with a reawaken-
ing sob of disappointment.
"And who, my child, is the Carpen-
ter?"
The eyes. of the little girl opened
wide with questioning wonder as she
firmly answered with an assured, I'M
hesitating decision:
why, He's the friend of the little
children. He goes about preaching
and teaching, they say, and He tells
the children beautiful stories and
sometimes shows them how to play
new games"
Something in the still eyes before
her made her hasten to explain.
ooh, yes, wanted to go, too, but
they wouldn't wait for me; they
wouldn't help me. You see, I'm a Grip
ple," and pitifully she displayed her
little withered limb bandaged careful
ly with many coverings of staunch lin
en-.
The eagerness of her long anticipat-
ed desire so powerfully surged forth
in Overlooking explanation that she
failed to notice that this fascinating
stranger had called her by her own
name.
"Oh, I've waited so long, so many
days to see Him. pray every morn
ing when hear the matin-chant that
today may see Him of whom my lit
tie brothers and playmates tell me,
but I can't run as they do, and now
I've missed Him again." She finished,
catching back sob that would have
threatened more tears had not her
attention been diverted by the actions
of the stranger. Carefully. gently He
was unwrapping the little limb, watch
ing her meantime with eyes that re-
vealed the stiffness OF eternity. Sud-
denly the .child's face flushed; the joy
BUSINESS of happy realization seized
her.. The limb which had for years
hung almost useless felt the revigor-
ating thrush Of warm blood puising
with life-giying activity. The handage
was gone. Erect she stood, cured
With the ecstasy of Overwhelming
gladness, she pressed her cheek

leaves. In due season it produces
small yellow flowers, and these are
followed by small seeds, adorned with
wee tufts of silky hairs. These hairs
help in securing an attachment for
the seed to some position where ger
mination is possible.
Until recently the Spanish moss
was regarded as simply a nuisance.
but it now has distinct economic
value. The grey stems, when dried,
are very light and springyss and are
useful for filling mattresses, pillows,
and the upholstery Of furniture. But
it has to be kept away from the damp.
A year or even longer inside cush-
ion does not kill Spanish moss. A
few of the grey threads placed in a
warm, damp atmosphere will soon
start into active growth, and eventu-
ally the plant would flower.
Botanists believe that this remark
able air plant is capable of holding
on to life in a dry state for an indef-
mite period.

CAUSE OF THE WINDS.


Wind is caused by difference in tenn
perature or by the rotation of the
earth. An area of heat will cause the
atmosphere to rise and create a vac
uum into which the cooler air will
rush. AT the equator, the earth ro-
tates at the rate Of 1000 miles an
hour towards the east. It would seem
then that the atmosphere ought to
blow toward the. west at the rate of
1000 miles an hour. But as revolv-
ing rod in a glass of soda gradually
sets the surrounding liquid rotating at
a like speed, so the atmosphere almost
gains the speed of the earth and the
air is practically calm. However, a
slight difference in speed causes the
socalled trade winds that blow some
what steadily toward the west At a
high altitude these winds blow at
about 20 miles an hour.

A STRANGE PLANT.

Offhand one would hardly think that
there could hardly be more uncon-
genial place for plant than tele-
graph wire. Yet in many parts Of
Central America, says an exchange, it
Is necessary to keep a special staff
Of men to clear the wires of a strange
vegetable growth.
The species, which is known as
Spanish moss, or, more properly, sTill-
andsia," is a member of a curious
group Of epiphytes or air plants.
These do not root in soil at all. but
flourish perched on tree branch or
other elevated position, deriving their
sustenance entirely from the atmos-
phere.
The Spanish moss has practically
no roots worth mentioning, and it
chiefly consists of grey stems closely
coated with small scales, which are
all that It possesses in the way Of

CHILDREN'S HOUR
TO THOSE WHO WAIT.

On the hillsides overlooking the
lake OF Genesareth, group of
frightened children ran joyously
among the colored foliage as if pro-
:laiming that the master-motive of the
world was play. Suddenly, a shout,
! the outlet of unexpected joy just real
lied, arose as of one accord from the
happy. hearts of the children. Down
fell the leafy twigs which a moment
before the leaders of the childish band
had used as tokens of self-imposed
authority; forgotten were the oblong
outlines that had SO triumphantly
marked the royal domains of each
small ruler; forsaken in the oblivious-
ness of uselessness were the games
that 1ilagnetized the carefree hours of
their "make-believe" world.
Again. the shout resounded more
eager, more jubilant:
"He is coming. See, he is coming
Down, the hill raced the exulting
children, each drawn by one sweet de-
sire to reach first the spot where stood
the man they hailed. s
Unheeded were the pitiful cries Of
one tiny child who begged not to be
left behind. Unnoticing, unsympathiz-

lamentingly over her misfortune.
Painfully she arose, tottered few
steps forward, then realizing the use
lessness of her effort, she sank back
disconsolate upon a little mound shad-
ed by .deep-dyed sycamores. Her
curl-encircled head sank into the pro-
lection of her uplifted arms. as she
hid her eyes from which the tears
were flowing unchecked. Her little
body, tense with the agony of grief,
disappointment and abandonment,
shook with childish emotion. as her
sohs broke the stiffness Of the quiet
play-worId.
.'''I wanted Him, too," she moaned.
I've waited so long to see Him. And
now, now; He's gone. They've all
gone and left me alone!"
The intensity OF her grief was brok-

voice asking:
