One of his anecdotes was . fleet that a robin was feeding I oung with earthworms, when a ow. feigning lameness, appeared on he edge of the nest with open mouth md claimed a share of the meal. The *obin looked the intruder over, picked up a bit of dead twig that resembled ' worm, and hastily thrust it into his i %oat.

A roast duck s will have more fun with you in a dumb, solemn kind of way than any. thing that wears feathers. I don't except women or Indians. "I've taken carving lessons and I know just where the joints of a duck ought to be, but they're never where they ought to be: they're always somewhere else. What's worse, they're never located alike in any two ducks. . Again, if you have one duck you can't make it go around, and if you have more than one there's too much. And ^ the way a duck'll bound and spring off from the knife and go under the table with you, if you're not careful, is wonderful. A roast duck always seems to say to me: " 'You've got me where I can't do a lot to you. but you'll be sorrier than I am, at that, before we're through with one another.'" LONDON HOUSES COME HIGH.

Arizona Claims This Wonder in Its Famous Petrified Forest. There is unending variety of marvelous sights to be seen in the petrifled forest covering thousands of acres in the eastern part of Arizona, but what is regarded as the greatest of all is the bridge of petrified wood. It is a huge petrified tree trunk spannine a canyon-like ravine fifty feet wide?a bridge of agate and jasper overhanging the only clump of living trees found within the forest's borders. Each end of the log is embedded in scale and sandstone, leaving 100 feet of it either wholly or partly exposed. How much of its length still remains completely buried is unknown. but each year the action of the elements brings more inio view. So far, time has graciously spared the integrity of this natural curiosity, but in the last few years the log has begun to show signs o? yielding to the natural inclination of petrified trees > and in several places transverse cracks ?** appear. Fearing that the bridge would tumble to destruction the government has recently had two stone ?hutments erected under it. making of It a bridge of three spans. This no doubt will preserve it for at least several years yet. A Kipling Souvenir. Of an interesting Kipling relic, Charles Warren Stoddard writes: "The object that first caught my eye was an old desk, black with age, and no doubt rheumatic in every joint. Its lid was a solid panel, but curved in the fashion of a roll-top desk. Across the length of it, cut deep in large letters, such as schoolboys love % to carve was this legend: '"Oft was I weary when I tolled at Thee,' "So sang the galley slave in a faultless verse: and so. in the hour of triumph, Rudyard Kipling graved upon the cover of the desk at which he won his fame."?National Maga sine.

Y.?For the last sermon in liis series on "The Substance of Christian Doctrine" the Rev. W. H. Burgwin. pastor of the Eighteenth Street M. E. Church, preached Suntlay morning on "Sowing and Reapitio " T Tic tovt r**n c ehncon f rnm f-nl. ivak n u o v uvcv u 11 v in v/i?? latians xi:7-S: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth. that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to the ttesh shall of the tlesh reap corruption; but he thnt soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting." Mr. Burgwiu said: Our statement of the substance of Christian doctrine in the four preceding discourses has presented the Creator of all things as a merciful and bountiful Provider for Iiis creatures. Man. because of unique relationships to God, is the object of His particular and peculiar favor. Insisting that "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." the divine love finds a way to satisfy infinite justice and to redeem for eternity every sinner who will be saved. The nature of the sinner, as created, precludes the idea or the possibility of compulsion. There is. however, a too general tendency to discount Scriptural teachings ?to feel that God, having done so much for man, will do more. that, in some way, a comfortable and blissful future is assured us. even though unbelief and disobedience mark our conduct here. The apostle combats such a conception. Jesus Himself contradicts it: "Ye cannot serve God and Mammon." The Scriptures uniformly oppose It by precept and example. it i5? ili > lac-rw iuio uiviuiiig iv vuforce this thought: All men are redeemed by Christ; but we are not saved from our guilt and its fixed ) penalty until we are in accord with Christ and the divine plan. What the sowing is the harvest will be. This is the truth as taught us. Our text is a warning?an unmistak- 1 able danger signal. This warning is given in view of real dangers appar- 1 ent to all observers of human nature. It assures us that God does not make ] spiritual or moral paupers of men. 1 Men rthinot be redeemed without God; but. in the divine economy. God does i not save the man without the man < himself. The man. In addition to < God's work, must work out his own 1 salvation. For man there is a sowing ! and there is a reapiug. There is good i seed for sowing in mora! and spiritual soil; there is other seed which dej velops degraded human character. Man selects his own seed and sows it. ? The seed proceeds to follow the law 1 of nature. It brings forth after its i kind?noisome weeds or golden grain. < It is an eternal harvest of "eorrup- i tion" or of "everlasting life.'' Even I if man be deceived. God is not mocked. 1 This Scripture warns ?s that every i mortal has freedom to direct his own i career within well known fields, for good or evil. Above the human actor ] is the Divine Governor, who will not i compel Unman loyalty, our woo, ruling in more extensive fields than the merely finite and human, invariably directs the mortal to the future his own freedom has chosen, to the reaping of the harvest his own life has sown. Thus it is clear that man's destiny is in his own control. It becomes apparent that this universal governor in administering his government is not anarchic. He is the supreme exponent of order and law; He, the arch-opponent of confusion. All disorder tends to confusion, in particular as in universal dominion. The human sinner is a begettor of confusion in that he interferes with law and order. He thus challenges the divine wisdom, power and will. He is a rebel against the Creator and Rnior nf nil thincs. Were all nature to follow him. the original chaos and anarchy would prevail in ail realms. Perfect order in human life would bring man to the perfect destination for which he was originally designed. That perfect order becomes a real fact for man through Jesus Christ, who is the exemplar of that order. "Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." li' we encourage sin in our lives, if we do not persistently resist the devil, we are sowing accursed seed; we are not dead to sins, we do not live unto righteousness: consequently, that perfect order is not an actuality for us, though it remains a possibility, because of the divine mercy and our ability to sow the seed of repentance, by Cod's help, if we will. Evidently, then, the glorious destination of man as described in Scripture, bringing the creature back to his lost estate, where he is conformed to the image of llim who is the express Image of Cod's substance, is not an arbitrary goal to which every creature move whether or no. The attainment of that destination is a matter of ] choice and decision on the part of the j creature?that decision and choice ir.- ] dicating his accord with the will and | | plan of the Creator. Man has a goal. , ? irrpnt mirnose for livinsr. set before I < him. the "life everlasting" of our text, toward which it is his personal re sponsibility and duty Intelligently to direct his way. He is not like the cricket. If you have ever noticed this insect in an open space, bound for somewhere. you will remember that lie spring a foot or so into the air. turns a somersault or two at each jump, his course being zigzag and uncertain, as likely to terminate in one place as another, so far as you can determine. Many mortals do resemble the insect, with this exception, that the unintelligent. zigzag course cannot possibly bring them to the right destination. That this zigzag course exists indicates that the truth has l?eon perverted. Men have been deceived. In their confident intellectual self-conceit they have proclaimed various modifications of the Christian plan as we possess it. In their reasonings and speculations they have argued that a loving Cod would not do this, that He would not do that: that a just Cod would act thus and so. and would not act in certain ether ways. So they have an nouuced their conclusions that all will eventually be saved, whatever their lives' sowing: may have been; or that Immortality is conditional, that the Incorrigible will not suffer eternal punishment, but that finally they will be annihilated, utterly destroyed; that there will be a future probation, an opportunity beyond the grave to accept the divine mercy. All of this is attractive as speculation. The truth is, there is no adequate warrant in the Holy Scriptures for any such hopes. God says, "Be not deceived." God insists that the eternal life is a harvest following a seed sowing. In practice, too, there are dangerous theories, for "as a man thin! th in his heart, so is he." If he makdl himself believe that everything is coming out all right, irrespective of his con ?pm . . ^ duct, his belief will affect his conduct.'* If a man argues himself to feeling that if God cannot receive him into heavenly realms, He will put filui out of his misery, annihilate him, tne tendency will be for him to throw himself into the flood of activity, whatever its character, which promises him the fullest and most satisfactory return to his present selfish ambition. Such attitudes of mind, with their baneful results. are all too common. The thought of the judgment of God in absolute equity in the eternal existence of the soul is a most admirable and effective check upon all such human presumption. Well may we pray with the Psalmist, "Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me." The baneful results referred to have illustrations in every field of endeavor. In no other way can I account for the nsronishinir attitude of people whom | I am meeting often?uot bad, vicious people, either?but folks who are utterly careless and indifferent in relation to this duty or that; the moral and religious instruction of their children. Sabbath observance, the payment of bills due. the speaking of the unblemished truth, the holding of malice against fellow Christians; in perfect calmness men will argue in extenuation of any sin in the catalogue. Then, there is a popular feeling that a man to get along must have a "pull." Character, ability, the whole moral and practical capacity of the individual, are discounted. This feeling is so current that you may hear it expressed anywhere. It has come to me recently from different sources, in one case expressed by a man, in the other by a woman. In both instances, children are being reared, reared and trained by professed Christians in that atmosphere. Most emphatically, I resent and condemn such an attitude on the part of any, especially Christians. It is specious, vicious, disastrous. "Full" may secure place among men. but character aud ability only bring honor. Some men may be tardy In recognizing worth. Gotir is not. Ilis judgments are based on character. Again, in business it has come to pass that too often any legal means is considered justifiable. "According as you put something in. the greater will be your dividend^ of salvation," one man of enormous wealth* and extensive business interests is reported to have said. That "something" which you put in is not money, or words, or deeds. These, one or all, may be a symbol of that "something." The thing put in must be a self-surrender to God, an acceptance of the Divine will as our standard of conduct. If Mr. Rockefeller is destitute of this disposition of moral selfsurrender, all his great gifts are not sufficient to "win Divine approval. N'one can buj the gift of God. God is too rich to sell, and man is too poor to buy. Any man's gifts may indeed become an obstacle to favor with God In that they may promote a conceit of self-righteousness such as certain anPhoricnoc Vinrl Tt ts WOfSC than useless for a man to make the church tils hobby If he gouges his fellow-men in business every chance he gets. "Be not deceived." Remember the harvest md be heedful of the sowing. There are men active in political life, irofessed Christians, who. according to rumor?in some instances the rumor iias been proved fact in court?are the ecipients of peculiar favors popularly tnown as "graft." It's custom. Oth?rs do it. they say. Yes, and it's ilegal, dishonest; it's perjury, too. Secretary Bonaparte does well to insist hat this species of dishonesty is a jrave menace to the nation. The book says, "Be not deceived." I speak to roung men. Some of you may hold jolitical position, as you now hold busiless places of responsibility. I speak 'orcefully, for I know your possible emptations. Abhor any moral comiromise in politics, In business or in social life. The man who leads a louble life is a doomed man. He may lot be condemned to prison by a jury >f his peers: his integrity may escape piestion because of prevailing laxity >r personal shrewdness. But. "Be not leceived; God is not mocked." "Be ;ure your sin will And you out." All ;ouls reap, gathering as they.hare sown. Thank God, there are men, nany of them here and everywhere, ,vho are above reproach. May their ribe increase. So we deceive ourselves. In our selfleceiv-d state, we may find a sort of omfort; we are with the crowd; our hanees are as good as another's; we'll urn over a new leaf, now or hereafter. "God is not mocked." We cannot treat lod contemptuously, as we may our .'ellows. As truly as seed brings a like larvest, so truly our derision of God esolves itself into despair. The insult :o Deity always reverts to the insulter. Men must not find comfort in the < bought that such willful disorder ou heir part can produce order hereafter. , [f the sowing be sin. disorder, the reaping must be confusion. Christianity offers humanity its greatest conceivable opportunity, but tiumanity must embrace the opportunity. ~ Victory. The joy of resisting temptation Is the highest joy men can feel.

Golden Text, Paa. xiiIt., 7 ?Memory Vpwei, 21-23?Commentary on the Da)'t Lenon. I. Daniel praying (v. 10). 10. "When Daniel knew," etc. Daniel knew that the king's edicts were irreversible. "Open*-toward Jerusalem." This was not an act of superstition. but a recognition of God s promise to Solomon (1 Kings 8:35-44i, who had in his prayer at the dedication of the temple entreated God to hear the prayers of those who might be in strange lands or in captivity when they should turn their faces toward their own land and city and the temple. It was an aid to the spirit of devotion. "Kneeled." Compare 1 Kings 8:34; Ezra 9:5; Eph. 3:14. Kneeling is a fitting attitude for humhie prayer. "Three times a day." See Psa. 35:17. The three hours of prayer were the same as the hours of sacrifice in the temple. "As he did aforetime." lie did not swerve a hair's breadth, lie could have prayed in secret and been heard, but that course would have been a public confession of want of faith in God and of yielding to the enemy. Daniel simply went on his daily path of life, as if no such order had been given. There was no time when he needed to pray more than at this time. 11. Wicked men plotting (vs. 11-15). 11. "These men." The princes who had been plotting against Daniel. "Assembled." Ran has'My, so as to come upon Daniel sudden v and detect him in the act. They l*a ' heard his voice and now rushed in upon him. 12. "Law?which altereth not." It was quite common in ancient times to worship the king. To alter the law would be a confession of fallibility, and an abrogation of godhead. 13. "That Daniel." etc. The accusers do not mention the high official station of Daniel and his intimate official relations with the king, but merely refer to his foreign birth in older that' they may thereby bring his conduct under the suspicion of being a political act of rebellion against the royal authority. 14. "Sore displeased." Vexed at thus being overreached: for he saw that it was enmity toward Daniel and not anxiety for the maintenar.ee of his authority which had led to the Dlot. "Labored." Endeavoring to find some way to evade the execution ol the sentence. 15. "Know. O .King." Their tone was ma^erful now, for they felt able to compel the king to work their will. Kings are the slaves of their flatterers, ^nese wicked men were determined to get rid of the lioly Daniel. They hated him. III. Daniel among the lions (vs. 1G18). 16. "They brought Daniel." According to Oriental custom the sentence was carried out on the evening of the same day in which the accusation was made. "Thy God?will deliver." The heathen believed in the interposition of the gods in times of calamity. While Darius did not recognize Daniel's God as the irue God, yet he was "a god." and Dan.el's character was such that the king believed his God would deliver him. 17. "Sealed it." In the days when very few could read or write sigt.ets were used instead of writing the name. 18. "Passed the night fasting." The soul of the pleasure-loving king was so stirred that he had no care for food or sleep. His grief was greatly increased by his consciousness that this evil came from his own weakness and Sin. IV. Daniel's deliverance (vs. 19-23). 19. "Went in haste." A strange spectacle for a m onarch of the world thus to be attendirg upon a condemned servant of God. Yet the king had never appeared to such a good advantage. 20. "lamentable voice." Deeply distressed and in an agony of anxiety. He cried out between hope and fear. "Servant of the living God." Darius borrowed, this phrase from Daniel. God extorted from an idolater a confession of the truth. "Is thy Godable." Full of concern, he trembles to ask the questioh, fearing to be answered with the roaring of the lions after more prey. 21. "O king, live forever." The common salutation in addressing a king. Daniel might have | indulged in anger at tnc King, nut aia nor. His sole thought was that God's glory had been set forth in his deliverance. ti'J. "Sent His angel." Daniel had company in the den of lions. There was no music nor gladness in the palnco, but celestial joy in the intercourse between Daniel and the angel in the den. Daniel takes care to ascribe his deliverance to the living God, that He may not be confounded with the false gods of the heathen. He speaks of the angel as God's instrument, not the author of his deliverance. "Shut the lions' mouths." Angels had held the lions' jaws and paws and made them peaceable companions and harmless as doves. This was a new and wonderful experience for Daniel. He delighted to relate it to the king, whose voice betrayed his agony. "Innoceucy was found." Dy this wonderful deliverance Daniel learned how God estimated faithfulness an I how He is pleased to reward it. C od had shown Daniel that his disobedience to a heathen king was not sin. He had been faithful in what he believed to be right, and in the test God declared him innocent by his wonderful deliverance. "No hurt." Daniel had been .!( kn?..

Two burgesses of Liege, after a day's sightseeing. adjourned to a cafe for refreshment, and there began a dispute which led to hot words and finally to blows. Nothing but blood could efface the mutual insults, but as no deadly weapons were available the cafe proprietor suggested that the affair could be Just as well settled with douches, and he provided each combatant with a portable waterpipe. For several minutes the duelists leveled their chilly weapons at each other; until, dsenched to the skin, their passions t^re so effectually cooled they were ^ad to shake hands and rush away t? change their garments. Intelligence vs. Docility. Will people who talk about dogs ever learn to differentiate between Intelligence and docility? The word "intelligent" is used almost universally in talking and writing, when people mean docility; 1. e., the readiness of the animal to accept Instruction, says Joseph A. Graham in Outing. Now, as in human beings, docility is likely to be an evidence of secondrate intelligence, and the degree of Intelligence is likely to appear when the animal Is doing things on his own hook. It makes no great difference, but to the man who tries to think oortiirafolv the constant ncrade of an obedient animal as one of exceptional mental ability is painful. Rich Sago Pudding.?Here Is a recipe for the favorite pudding of a housekeeper of the last generation, who served it to her family after the simple Sunday dinner customary In her day: Soak six heaping teaspoonfuls of sago in a quart of sweet milk for five hours. Then add a quart of boiling milk. Cook till soft. Beat the yolks of six eggs in a pudding dish with a teacup of sugar and a little nutmeg. Then when the sago is soft stir (t into the eggs and sugar. Bake twenty minutes. After the pudding has been set away to cool beat up the whites of the six eggs until they are a stiff froth and fold into them three tablespoonfuls of sugar. Spread this meringue over the top of the pudding and brown it in the oven. A little jelly is sometimes spread over the pudding before adding the meringue. LOGICAL DEDUCTION.

And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing1 treadmill, earning1 their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, ovarian troubles, ulceration, falling and displacements of the womb, leucorrhcea, or perhaps irregularity or suppression of "monthly periods," causing back-' ache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude. Women who stand on their feet all day are more susceptible to these j troubles than others. They especially require an invigorating, sustaining medicine which will strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or perform her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female organism.
