I Ram Literally Buttad
Himself to Bitter End
j A farmer named Darby had a ram.
.This ram could hove taken the blue
ribbon in the butter class at any fair.
•He would butt anything in sight, espe-
idally if it was moving.
Darby was a patient man but after
the ram hod butted everything on the
farm, Including Darby himself, he
vowed vengeance. So one morning
when he and ids family were going
;to be gone for the day he suspended
a heavy post-maul by a rope from a
tree limb and turned the ram loose.
The ram, seeing the maul swinging,
made a rush for It. He hit It a blow
that sent It swinging more. The maul,
on the return trip, hit him on the
head but he didn’t mind it; in fact it
merely made him call out his reserve
powers.
Darby and his family grew tired of
watching the duel between the ram
and the maul, so they went to town.
Toward evening they returned and the
first thing they did was to visit the
dueling ground. They saw the maul
swinging—and they wondered what
had become of the ram.
Then on going closer they found
that the ram had actually worn him
self out butting the maul. All that was
left of him was a piece of his tail
about as long ns ybur thumb.—Path

Good Word for “Bunny*
Rabbits have been much In the
news of late. A motorist has put on
record the fact that he had to travel
at thirty-four miles an hour to keep
up with a rabbit that was running In
front of his car. Then, Russia decided
to raise rabbits by the million for
food. But the rabbit, In spite of Us
smallness tnd timidity, has had a way
of making a noise in the world. It is
a curse to gardeners and farmers even
in this country, and In Australia It
qnlckly became a national menace. In
this (‘onnectlon a good story la told of
s newcomer to the Island continent —
a Scot—who asked an Australian If
there were many Scots In Australia.
“Yes.” was the Immediate reply, “but
our real plague la the rabbit!" Rut-
even though the Australian won t be
lieve It—rabblts are luckbrlngers. Say
“White Rabbits” three times first
thing on the first day of each month,
and you’re In for four weeks of good
fortune! So, at least, runs the story.

Temperature and Earth
Only a few feet of earth on the
very surface la affected by the daily-
range In temperature. There is then
s larger layer upon which neither the
surface temperature nor the tempera
ture of the inside of the earth has
any effect. Then comes the layer
where the temperature of the earth
Increases one degree for every fiO to
75 feet one goes Into the Interior of
the earth. The cold water comes from
the layer which Is uuafTected by tem
peratures from within the earth or ou
the surface of the earth. In some
places we have thermo springs where
the water comes from a depth below
this In the region which Is influenced
by the heat from within the earth.
East Indian Superstition
In the month of May the pipal tree,
• venerated in India, is said to be in
Its most benevolent mood: so In Ben
gal at that season groups of young
maidens, all dressed in yellow robes,
assemble each morning to pay homage
: to It If one of their number hap
pens to become engaged to be mar-
,ried at that time, she is honored with
a crown of pipal leaves by her com
panions, for whom in return she cooks
food; and those who partake of that
• food will also, It Is believed, meet with
a similar happy fate.
Rare Chinese Pottery
Peachblow ware is the most valu
able of Chinese pottery. It belongs
to the Chinese potteries which are
transmutation glazes embracing a type
of flambe color. These glazes differ
from red to a delicate pink, which Is
peachblow. Peachblow products have
realised prize amounts In salesrooms,
and many of these pieces are exhibited
to museums. They are no longer
made. Originally peachblow was made
In Klng-te-Cbln and was considered as
a perfect example of potter's art

I. The King Foretells His Death and
Reeurrection (vv. 17-19).
1. The King on His way to Jeru
salem (v. 17).
This is His last Journey to the be
loved city. He took the twelve disciples
aside from the traveling pilgrims to
make known unto them what was be
fore them. As they Journeyed, he went
ahead of the disciples. The courage
thus shown by the Lord amazed the
disciples who were following In fear
(Mark 10:32).
2. The betrayal and death foretold
(vv. 18,19).
He went forward, fully conscious of
the awful tragedy of the cross. He
for the third time since the transfigura
tion tells the disciples of His ap
proaching sufferings and death. But
they are so filled with their ambitious
schemes that they do not understand
Him. The treachery of Judas, the fierce
persecutions by the chief priests and
scribrs, the unjust Judgment, the de
livery to Pontius Pilate, the mockery,
the scourging, the crown of thorns,
the crons, the hanging between two
malefactors, the nails, the spear—all
were spread before His mind like a
picture! Though He knew all this. He
pressed on, not of necessity, but de
liberately. The Joyous outlook upon
the victory which would be accom
plished by the shedding of His blood
led Him forward. He went courage
ously, for He knew the time had come
for the accomplishment of His Fa
ther’s will.
X The resurrection foretold (v. 19).
Truly, this would have been a dark
picture had the resurrection not been
made known. The resurrection life
beyond is always seen as the Issue
of the crone. The blessedness of the
life beyond this “vale of tears" should
Induce us to press on. Christ is the
grand example. (Heb. 12:2).
II. The Ambitious Rsquset of Jams*
and John (vv. 29-23).
1. The request (vv. 20.21).
This request was made by their
mother. The request was for a place
of prominence In the kingdom. It is
not wrong for mothers to l>e ambitious
for their boys, hut they should know
that life's pinnacles are exceedingly
dangerous. It Is desirable that parents
should get places for their children
near to Jesus, hut the vain ambitinn
of the world should not occupy their
minds.
2. Jesus’ answer (vv. 22,23).
He spoke directly to the men, not
to their mother, declaring that they
knew not what they were asking. He
showed them that the way to this
position of glory was through suffer
ing The cup which they were to drink
was of great agony. The way to the
places of glory In the kingdom of
Christ Is by the path of lowly uml
self-forgetting service.
III. How to Bs Truly Exalted
(vv. 24-28).
1. The angry disciples (v. 24).
When the ten heard of the request
of James and John, they were tilled
with Indignation against them. Their
displeasure did not arise from the fact
that they were free from the same self
ish spirit, but that these two had
thrust themselves to the front.
2. Greatness among the heathen
(v. 25).
The rule of the world has always
been by the strong hand. The stand
ards have not been moral excellence,
but worth, station, and power.
3. Greatness among Christ's disciples
(vv. 20,27).
The standard here is In sharp con
trast. The way to the pl(ice of promi
nence in Christ’s kingdom is the way
of self-abasement. To give is greater
than to receive. To be serving some
one Is much better than to be served.
There will he degrees ofr rank In
Christ’s kingdom, but this rank will
be character, not position, or author
ity. The spirit of Christ substitutes
“the greatness of love for the love
of greatness.”
4. Christ Is the supreme example of
greatness (v. 28).
All who will be great should study
and Imitate Christ. Let them forget
self and serve others, even to the giv
ing of their lives.
Courage, Unspotted Life
Then said Mr. Holy-man, there are
two things that they have need to pos
sess who go on pilgrimage: courage
and an unspotted life. If they have
not courage, they can never hold on
tbeir way; and If their lives be loose,
they will make tbe very name of a
pilgrim stink.—John Banyan.

Turkeys Driven to Market Through the Streets of Malaga.
(Prepared by the National QaoerapnJa
Society, Washington, D. C.)
S PAIN is once again in the world’s
news because of Its change of
dictators, but it is chiefly the
Spain of Madrid and the well
beaten path between the eaaily ac
cessible cities, that most tourists trav
el. Moat travelers have their first ex
perience with the Spanish carabinero
either at tha customhouse of Iran,
south of Biarritz, or at Port Bou, on
the Mediterranean side. Then they
hasten to San Sebastian, on one end
of tha Pyrenees, or to Barcelona, on
the other, and after a brief stay, pro
ceed to Madrid. Later, If there la
time, to Toledo, and southward to
Seville and Granada.
Thua merely the high spots are
touched, while the unlimited beauty
and interest of Spain lying along the
bypaths remain scarcely known—and
are still waiting to delight the ven
turesome traveler.
In seeking little-known Spain one
of the best places to start the quest
la on the Spanish* Riviera, along tha
Mediterranean coast from Gibraltar to
Alroeria. The center of this district
Is the seaport of Malaga, a city of
150,000 Inhabitants, surrounded by a
semicircle of mountains which forms
a natural rampart against the cold
from the north and fires to this de
lightful spot a mildness of winter
climate unequaled In all Europe.
As a general description of Malaga
today, one need employ only three
words: clean, modern, charming. Potlta
traffic officers—perhaps one should say
“bobbies," because they are dressed
In neat uniforms of British pattern—
direct the stream of automobiles Just
as they do In London. There are broad
avenues, lovely villas, and well-kept
parks. In which an endless variety
of bright flowers Is always in bloom.
Indeed, this Andalusian city, nestling
on the blue Mediterranean, has am
bition and la exerting effort toward
its accomplishment—to attract the
tourists, or at least some of them, who
have grown tired of returning year
after year to the French Riviera.
In tbs Market Place.
One center of Interest la the market
place, a large covered building built
around a picturesque Moorish arch
which senes as its entrance. There
are aisles of stalls devoted to meat.
mosphere, it stands out clearly against
the deep, cloudless sky. The tops of
the nearer ranges take on deeper hues
of blue and purple of startling beauty,
and the^ foreground has its splashes
of brilliant yellow, green, and orange
in the sunshine.
As if still not satisfied with this
lavish rainbow of bright colors, Na
ture has painted the cultivated soil a
deep, rich Venetian red; so that even
the ground work in this Andalusian
land takes on a beauty and Interest all
Its own.
Artists who see this lovely country
for the first time exclaim that every
thing Ip “palntable”—every tree, every
building, every mountain top.
The same Is true of many of the
lesser-known provinces of Spain,
though each has its own strong prov
incial Individuality, not only of land
scape. bdt also In facial types and
coloring, quaint Old World costumes,
and even in the different trappings
with which horses, mules, donkeys,
and the huge bullocks are decked out
Malaga has a dally paper. La Union
Mercantll, of which in all Justice It
may be exceedingly proud. A large
“double-deck” press of French make
• turns out Its 12 to 16 pages every
day. In the composing room four lino
types click busily all night long. Mod
ernity In the extreme ia the keynote
of Its production; yet in every issue
there la a quarter column headed “On
This Same Data.’* Thereunder appear
Items that have happened in the prov
ince on the date of Issue, but In prev
ious years. Generally, there are six or
eight years picked at random by the
well-informed chronologiat. but often
these go back befors the discovery of
America and refer to family names
atill existing in the city!
One reads In quite a matter-of-fact
way :
December 9, 14M.—Kina Henry IV
conferred the title of "Very Noble” up
on the city of Antequera, Province of
Malaga, showing proof of hie affeettou
and consideration for tha herolo sarv-
Ices rendered by Its inhabitants.
December, 1C1S.—After more than a
whole year of drought, it rained to
day In Antequera, but It was only a
little shower, so the hunger and diffi
culties still contlnua.
And these little p’etures themselves,
sometimes gay, hut more often grave,
fish, vegetables, and fruit; but the | the distant centuries, with their
market has overflowed its banks and cus tom8 and strange superstitions
uow extends out into the adjoining
streets, where in open air there are
rows of fruit and vegetable stalls In
charge of peasant men and women.
Apart from the fruit stalls is a
stand selling earthen water jugs, of
various sizes, arranged along the side
walk. These are open at the neck,
but have a tiny spout in the side. The
peasants drink by holding the jug
well above their heads and letting the
tiny stream of water fall Into their
open mouths. A novice at this method
has considerable difficulty not only
with the aim*; but also with swallow
ing against the steady stream of liquid.
The crescent of mountains which
surrounds Malaga is about 60 miles
from point to point and is formed of
five ranges. They still bear their quaint
Moorish names: Sierra de Mljas, Sier
ra de Abdalagis, Sierra de Alhama,
Sierra de Tejeda, and the Sierra de
Almljara which drops suddenly Into
the sea near Almunec&r.
The old word “sierra" means, in
Spanish, a “saw,” and it is vividly
descriptive of these irregular saw
tooth mountain lines along the sky.
Each range Is in itself cut and scarred
into jagged peaks and precipitous
chasms, the tops being of barren and
forbidding rock. Then, lower down,
la a covering of palmetto grass, thick
ly Interspersed with aromatic herbs—
thyme, rosemary, and lavender—and
od tbe lower slopes, in symmetrical
rows, like soldiers, thousands upon
thousands of silver-green olive trees.
Here and there, on steeper slopes,
the olives give place to almonds, and
In January their pink and white blos
soms, which appear before any of the
green leaves, make a little picture of
fairyland. Tbe valleys are all yellows
and greens—orange trees, lemon trees,
grapevines, and sugar canes.
Everything le "Paintable.”
From almost any viewpoint In the
valley, not one, bat three or four,
ragged mountain Uses may be seen,
oss piled op bach of the ether. The
last line. In tbs ter distance, Is ha
MM
§t the
very near to us. The narrow streets
in Malaga's center which one passes
every day are mentioned time and
again.
Whtre Phoenicians Lived.
In the very center of the city Is the
Gibralfaro, a miniature mountain,
which rises straight out of Malaga's
principal streets to a height of r>60
feet. Halfway up the approach is the
Alcazaba, which was the site of the
original Phoenician settlement. It
passed through the hands of Romans,
Visigoths, and Moors, the latter cap
turing it in the year 711. They made
this vantage spot half palace and half
citadel, and it was not until August
18, 1487, that the Spanish standard
w’&s flown over Its battlements. The
Alcazaba was one of the very last of
the Moorish strongholds on European
soil.
Today there are a few'^tortAoua
streets, steep and narrow, leading be
tween old houses, many in rains, and
a group of gypsy huts. At one or two
places the streets pass through arch
ways with the houses built over them.
Formerly this part of Malaga, which
Is the most picturesque and Interest
ing, was so dirty and the gypsies so
menacing in their demands for “One
penny, please,” that tourists were ad
vised to leave it oat of their itinerary.
Now It has been cleaned up to some
extent and the Inhabitants are less im
portunate.
a-.4,
In Malaga, as elsewhere in Spain,
one sees many apprentice boys of
twelve to fourteen years. Every plumb
er, carpenter, and electrician has a
small boy to carry his toois and help
with tbe Job.
In many cases taxi drivers have a
boy to do the cranking and other
onerous tasks. Tbe hairdresser’s boy
accompanies him to the house, carry
ing a little bag, and sita on the steps
whUt Madame is being marceUed. In
fact, even for the ordinary civilian, to
carry n small parcel of any sort is
