I jA TEXT TAKEN TOO LITERALLY | TervYear-old Julia Gets Into Bad Gracas of Mother by Giving Tramp a Half-Dollar. "Be not forgetful to entertain j strangers; for thereby some have en- \ . tertained angels unawares.'' * < The foregoing quotation is from chapter xlli, verse 2, Book of Hebrews, and It is Introduced solely because it constitutes a vital part of this story. Julia Is ten years old and she goes to Sunday school. It appears that on a recent occasion the Sunday school < teacher had considerable to 6ay about ! this matter of "entertaining angels 1 unawares." Anyway, it made a deep impression with Julia. A few days after the lef on Julia's i mother left her in charge of the house for a few hours. When the mother returned she went to a particular cup in tho cupboard to extract therefrom due-half dollar. In this cup is kept the family pin money, and Julia's mother knew that she had put 50 tents there before she had gone out. But the half dollar was gone. There was an expression of anxiety on Julia's face and mother scented mischief. "Did you take that money?" asked the mother, somewhat severely. Julia broke into tears: "I gave it to a man that came to the back door," sobbed the little girl. "Gave it to a man!" exclaimed the mother. "What for?" "I thought he might be God," tearfully replied Julia.?Kansas City Star. HOW IT 8EEMED TO HIM. City Cousin?The hotel you were stopping at, was it on the American or European plan?

KIDNEY PIIK HUNT BIGMETEOBIIE Huge Mass of Iron Knocked Hole in Earth in Arizona Such I* Belief of Prof. Ellhu Thomson ?Movement Started to Find Immense Piece of Ore Believed to Be Worth Millions. Phoenix. Ariz.?About the origin of most of the craters of the earth's surface there is little dispute. They are of all sizes. We find them in the Sandwich Islands, with floors from three to four square miles in area. These have reminded Professor Pickering of nothing less than the ring craters on the moon. In Arizona, near Canon Diablo, is a crater-like depression 4,000 feet in diameter and 500 feet deep. The rim can be seen from a great distance, and, such rims being called "buttes," this particular rim is known as Coon butte. The irregular contour of the rim is marked by broken rocks, some as large as a house. The outer slopes down to the plain are covered with similar masses pieces of many tons weight having been thrown thousands of feet away from the crater. But there is nc lava about the butte, and this would ?eera summarily to dispose or me iuen that Coon butte 1b the site of a vol :ano. Dr. G. K. Gilbert many years age suggested that the ring-shaped pitu or the moon's surface were caused bj the impact of giant meteorites, anc for some time he held the view thai Coon butte must have been formec in a similar manner. This view has of late been revived. Prof. Eliht Thomson, in a letter to the America! Institute of Electrical Engineers, re minds us that the masses of iron flunf down the outer slopes of the cratei ire ^ent to all parts of the world ai meteoric Iron. Mr. Barringe hai spent considerable sums in explora :lon under the firm conviction that h< will And a large amount of meteorii iron below the surface. So far he hai been unsuccessful, it Is calculate! that 600 bore-holes, each costini ibout ?400, will be necessary to maki sure of finding the meteoric mass, as 1 suming it to have been 500 feet ii diameter. The mass of the meteorite is estl mated to have been at least five mil lion tons. Of this the greater par would be Iron, but 8 per cent, wouli be nickel, and there would be thre* million ounces of platino-irldlum I worth about twenty million sterlini supposing the price to remain as a ! present, between ?7 and ?8 pe I I Arizona's Natural Beauty. ounce.

GOLDEN TEXT?"Jeeus said unto them, I am the bread of life."?John 6:36. This parable marks the high level of the year of popularity In the life of our Lord. It Is such an Important miracle as to be the only one recorded by all four gospel writers. The returning disciples (v. 30/ are | urged by the Master to come with him Into a desert place that they might | rest, and aUo that he might comfort their hearts over the death of John the Baptist. "They had no leisure." Jesus knew the need and also the proper use of leisure. But the multitude would not grant this and flocked to his retreat In the desert. They saw and followed that they might listen to his gracious words or behold some new wonder, but Jesus also saw and ministered, v. 24. Carlisle said he saw in England "forty millions, mostly foolB." Not bo with Jesus. He saw and was moved, not with Barcasra, but with compassion, which compassion took a tangable form of service. It Is Interesting to note In verse 34 that the compassion of Jesus led him first of , all to teach. It is better to teach a man how to help himself than to help j the man. We also infer from this verse that the soul of a man Is of more value than his body. It Is not enough, however, to say, "God bless you, be fed and warm." when a man Is hungry. So It Is that Jesus listened to his dlclples when they saw the physical need of the multitude. A Great Task. St. John tells us In this connection of the conversation "1th Philip. Phil- 1 Ip lived In Bethsalda near by, yet to feed this multitude was for him too great a task, even with his knowledge of the resources at hand, John 6:5-7. Yet we need not be surprised at Philip's slowness of faith. Moses in like manner was once nonplussed how to feed six thousand in the wilderness, see Num. 11:21-23. It Is not so much j as to how great the need nor how llt| tie we possess, but rather Is the little given to God. Another disciple, Andrew, who had discovered the Saviour unto Peter, dls1 covers as though In desperation a boy : whose mother had thoughtfully provided him with a lunch consisting of five barley blscuitB and two small dried herring (John 6:9), at least that much remained. It is a great commentary upon the tide of Interest at this time that this boy should not hare eaten hla lunch, for a boy's hunger Is proverbial. It seems aB though loans omnhiuiiM the helnleesness of , the diciples in order that he may show his power. His command, "give ye them," (v. 37) teaches us that we are to give such as we have, not look to others, nor do our charity by proxy. Prov. 11:24, 25. Again the Saviour asks his disciples to see (v. 38) as though he would teach them the boundless resources of his kingdom. Give what you have and he will bless and Increase it to the supplying of the needs of the multitude. The secret of success was when ; he took the loaves and "looking up" for God also saw on that day, and blessed it. We need to observe the systematic procedure. The people seated or reclining upon the ground in ranks or : by companies. The Master blessing and breaking the boy's cakes and giving first to the disciples, for God only works such miracles through human agencies, and then giving to the people. The result of this systematic procedure was that "all did eat," and further, they were satisfied, v. 42. Not alone, however, was there Divine order and lavishness, but there was economy and thrift as well, for Jesus gave careful directions as to the fragments. The lavishness is shown by the fact that the baskets Into which the fragments were gathered were each largj enough in which to Bleep. \ ; l.iviny di cau. The conversation process was & ; stinging rebuke to the Improvident i orientals, and to the present day prodl, gals of that wonderful bounty with . which God has blessed our land. God gives to us that we may use. . Joy dies unless it Is shared. Jesus, , the living bread (John 6:48) will satisfy hunger, and life, aa bread, generates In the human body heat, energy, vitality, power, etc., so he would feed r the hungry souls of mankind. We > havo at hand the Word; It Is for lack r of It that men die In the deepest sense j of that word. f The poverty and perplexity of the . disciples in his presence and the presi ence of this great need Is being rei peated over and over today and yet It Ib absurd. We have not enough to feed the multitude. Our few loaveB of amusements, mental activities, etc.. k will not feed them, but when we break unto them the Living Dread they have enough and to spare. >\ nen our i^oru s has the handling of our loaves then > they are charged with new power and are for the satisfying of the nations. s Jesus welcomed the multitude " though the disciples would send them away. Jesus saw their need spiritual3 ly though the disciples saw only the B physical need. Jesus saw the abun^ dant resources of the Father t Phil. 4:19>, whereas the disciples saw only 11 their poverty and helplessness. 0 The disciples had. however, learned to know Jesus well enough to obey, and so though his commands seemed out of reason they at once began to 5 give to the people, and as they gave, not before, the food was multiplied They drew not from an earthly, but a heavenly, storehouse. The multitude ^ also obeyed. "If ye be willing and obedl ent ye shall eat of the good of the land." Isa. 1:19. Nor shall one be ^ overlooked. He. Indeed.

WOMAN WORKS OUT PROBLEM Mrs. Sarah Erickson Declares the Hen Laya an Egg at the Same Hour She Was Born. What time o* day Does a hen lay! That question has puzzled poultry fanciers for unnumbered decades, but now, it seems, It has been satisfactoril solved by a woman. She is Mrs. Sarah Erickson of Falconer, N. Y. Having kept chickens for 37 years, she believes she qualifies as an expert in this line of effort. "I have worked out the problem," she declares. "By using marked legbands, trap nests and alarm clocks attached to the nests I have determined that a hen lays an egg at the same hour, minute and second that she was born, or, rather, hatched. For instance, if the hen happened to be able to peck its way through its shell at 7:43 a. m., she will lay an egg at precisely 7:43 a. m. And she will do this without variation every time she is inclined to lay. I have kept close, systematic watch on my hens for five years, and I have never known the rule to fail."

Mulai Hafid, the ex-Sultan of Morocco, while staying at Vichy, In France, made an excursion to Les Ardolsleres, says the "Matin," where Napoleon III. uBed often to go for rest. Three young girls, sisters, timidly approached the Sultan and asked him to sign postcards. Mulal Hafid consented on condition that they would each sing a song to him. Two of the girls at once complied, and the delighted Mulal Hafid wrote on their cards words which, translated, mean: "Like Napoleon III., I have visited Les Ardolsleres, where I have enjoyed, together with the calm and freshness of nature, the grace and charm of the voices of Miles. Pauline and Clotilde." The third girl did not know j how to sing, but one of her sisters having sung for her the Sultan added the name of Gabrlelle. Obliging.
