When he ,W101 G years old his parents moved to the western part of his " native State and settled on a piece of unimproved land in the oounty,of Allen, near penoer- ville. To um his words, while' living in this rather sequestered spot ib wee that the boy became.00nsoioue that he was furnished by hie ancestry wither soul of fire. tl3efore he had reaohed the age of 12 his nwther's heart was frequently gladdened by these words of an aged minister : " Your son Jacob is.destined to becomea Levite. Werily, God has chosen him," The boy when only Ilii years old was seen to possess a remarkable degree of inspiration that seemed almoab divine. Hie earneit soul'and fiery spirit so impelled him that he was heard ever and anon to begin a son of prahein the, special Betakes held in those .days for bhe saving of the wicked. His in- tuibive soul realized the eminence and glory and power of God sothat the responses whioh he frequently made. fa service of testi- mony were forceful and clear His longing for association with the good, the pure, and the divine was intense even to pain. The youbh continued to live et Francisco until 1871, when he was 18 years of age, baring spent his time in attending the Village sohool ana devoting his aracations to temunerabive labor in the harvest (fields, He was engaged at one time as a book agent.. soliciting subscribers for the history of the "Franoo•Prussiare War," and suooeeded. At another time he was• working in a emithy,, at another time he was clerk in a 'tangisco' store of general merchandise. God had pub into his breast the fire of divine thought, which sooner or later must buret forth. This unquenchable fervor had caused him muoh suffering and uneasiness. He was painfully conscious of limitations whenever his Boal Bought to use its yet unfledged pinions. A phrenologist one of theeo days said "This young man is aiming toward the sky. He may not reaoh ib, but he will rise higher than he would rise if he did uJbso aim." In the spring of 1872 he attended Grass Lake Union School. His father's worldly goods were few and of little worth, hence the youth obtained limitedas8istanoe from home. His brother Philip and sister Libbie had his welfare ab heart and aided him to the extent of their ability by loaning him money out of their earnings. This money, with interest, he refunded a few years later, He attended this school all of the nexb year, 1872 '73. The Rev. R. S. Pardington and wife, then the incumbents of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Grass Lake, gave Mr. Sohweiafurth suoh assistance that without it he could' not have attained the last term of that year. In the summer and autumn of 1873 he served in the capacity of sexton of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Jackson, Midi.' During this period of service Mr. Sehweinfurth saw through one of the back, windows of Episoopal Methodism, as he says, a sight of social and religious condition which. compelled him with the slow and steady finger of candor to trace soros, his Method- ist hopes "disappointed." However, it took him about four years to spell out that wort:.. In the winter of 1873 and 1874 he taught school near Jackson. In the spring of the latter year and all of the following year he attended Albion College. The professors of this institution tnton regarded Geo. J. Schwein- furt!). as a model young man. He was believed by all who knew him to have a bright future before him. Dr. Perrin said to him: 'fl oung man, youhaveagood head on you, and your forte is composition. In the autumn and winter of 1875. he at- tended two terms of sohool at Evanston. That terminated his sohool days. In the early summer of 1876 he returned to Fran- cisco, Mich., and later went to the plaoe of his birth. le had gone to Marion to con- sult with his uncle about his future 'course. Persons and events were to him the index finger of God. His question addressed to. God wee : " What wilt Thou have me do ?" . Then he watched for the answer. The answer Dame : "Enter the Methodist ministry now ; do your further studying in connection with your future ministerial labors." His soul said "I will obey:" Returning to . Detroit, he was sent as a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church to Kingston, Mich. "Tn December, 1877, he met Dorinda Helen Fletoher. Beekman, and through the window of her soul he saw God. Mrs. Beekman was the gateway of his. fu- ture. She was the spiritual Mary, the mother of his soul. She gave to the Beek manite world its Jesus. Since the death of Mrs. Beekman- he has Ij3 been the head of the °hutch, and has been worshipped as Chrieb. THE AGE OF PAPER, it is ifpon IIs, and it ,Dias Come' to Stay. We live in paper houses, wear paper cloth- ing, and sit on paper cushions in paper cars, rolling on paper wheels. We do a paper business over a paper counter, buying paper geode, paying with paper money or charging them up in paper books, and deal in paper stocks on paper margins. We row races in paper boats for paper prizes. We go to paper theatres, where paper acbers play to paper audience. As the age developer the coming man will be more deeply enmeshed in the paper net.

A Jauntier Connie Therty.eignednat Spot I[o Bad Just Vaelitialt in a Reirry. "Afraid of snakes? Of course I am, Every hunter fears them, and nob without good reason," remarked a Pibtaburgh aports- man recently. The last time I wee down in Maryland ou a hunting trip rattlesnake. came near searing me out of a year'ee growth.: "This was how it happened r T was look- ing for squirrels, and had shot several in a narrow ravine which I was following up, I had gob near the head of the gully when a atquirrolran up attree on the bank to my,righb. Adore I could get a shot at him he had dis- appeared, leaping into another tree. The franks of the ravine were eight or ten :feet high at this point. I thought I would climb up and see if I could add that squirrel to the contents to my game bag. By the aid of a sapling growing half way up the bank I drew myself up with one hand, hold- ing nay gun with the other. Just as I placed' my hand on top of a rook and was about to spring out I saw the squirrel. I was hesitating whether I should try to shoot him where I stood, when I chanced to look where my hand was resting. "Jerusalem 1 within two feet, coiled in a heap, was, the biggest rattlesnake 1 ever saw. He had thrush his head up in the ugliest man- ner, and seemed ready to spring for my hand. He had been sunning himself on the top of the rook and I had disturbed his nap. I for- got my gun, forgot the squirrel. and every- thing else except the snake. There I stood looking at him and watching his eyes. But I must either climb up or get down, as ,my position was decidedly uncomfortable. When I realized the necessity for aotion I drew my gun up to my shouleler as cautiously as I could, fired, and shot the snake. The squir- rel, of course, disappeared, and I conoluded I'd better get down where the earth was more edict I' looked down to the base of of the cliff, and Pll'be blessed if there wasn't another rattler stretched out right where I would jump on him. "Then I changed my mind and resolved to climb out. The•snake I had shot was per- fectly dead. I drew myself up and was arising from my knees, when whir -r -r 1 off went a rattle jusb at my left leg. A small atone had concealed the snake from my view. I didn't stop to load my gun, but took, to my heels.: It's lucky I did, for when I gob a rod or two away I looked baok, and the spot where I stood was jusb alive with snakes. I hadstarted out a e hole den of then:. They were old settlers and full of fight. When I saw their numbers—I count- ed thirty-eight—I` had no ambition to battle with them sivgle.handed. I left that neck` of the woods 10 quiok time. I'd rather face hears than ratlesnakee any day—there's less danger." A SODA L000MOTIPE. The First Engines of the Bind Ever Built in America. Four locomotives to be run by soda, whioh takes the place of fire under the boiler, have been built in Philadelphia. They are for service on .the streets of Minneapolis, polis, Minn., where steam engines are forbidden. The en- gine is about sixteen feetlong, entirely boxed in, with no visible smokestack or pipes, as there is no exhaust or refuse. The boiler is of copper, eighty-four and one-half inches in diameter and fifteen feet long, having tubes running through ib as in steam boilers. In- side the boiler will be placed five tons of soda, which, upon being dampened by a jet of steam, produces an intense heat. In about six hours the soda is bhoroughly saturated, when the aotion ceases. A stream of super- heated steam from astationary boiler is then forced through the soda, whioh drives out the moisture and the soda is ready for use again. Theexhaust steam from the cylinder is used to saturate the soda, and by this means all refuse is used. These engines are the first of their kind that have been built in America. They will have bhe same pow- er as those used on the New York elevated. roads. Soda engines are used in Berlin and other European cities very successfully, and they also traverse the Sb. Gothard tunnel, under the Alps, where the steam engines can- not be used, because the tunnel cannot be ventilated so as to carry off the noxious gases generated by a locomotive. Utilization of Twins. The Lewiston (Me) "Journal" tells of twin sisters who formerly lived in Waldo county, Maine, who looked so muoh alike that no one out of the family could distinguish Jane from Susan, and their father himself was some- times puzzled. Susan had a "beau" a very devoted young man. who called often and stayed late --I30 often and so late that the Young lady began to feel the lack of sleep,. and remarked one' afternoon that she almost hoped George wouldn't come to -night. "` Why can't I take your plane for once and give you a vacation Y'' asked her sister. The offer was at once accepted; the tired damsel got a good night's sleep, and Georgie, never knew that he spent one evening from 8 p. m. to 2 a. m. in Jane's society, until several years after he and Su9an were happily married. Al. -similar story may be told of two Boston twins, brothers. One of them had engaged to take a young lady to the theatre, but from some cause it was 'inconvenient for him to do so. He therefore deputed the pleasing service to Ms brother, and the young lady did not detect the deoepbion.— [Boston Journal Business Changes.

VAS? •� THF, OF A,MYEXET'ER TIMES WIRBLETB The Manitoba Government has promised assistanceto the proposed summer carnival at Winnipeg. Ottawa lumbermen are erecting large saw mills on the Fre en River, B. C., and have scoured valuable limits. The area under cultivation in Manitoba` and the North-West is estimated at 3,360,000 acres wheat and 367,000 acres in other grain. The total loss by the St. Sauvant. fire is now pat ab between $300,000 and $400,000. Four hundred and ninety-eight houses were burned. T. P. Harkin & Co., shoe merobant, Ottawa, have assigned. The liabilities are not yet known, but are estimated to be be- tween $8000 and $10,000. The assets will, it is thought, nearly offset the liabilities. Some changes are about to take place in the representation, of the United States Government in Canada, which will result in Oltawa becoming a coneulabe•general for the province of Oat t io,,i nete ad of a commercial agency, as at preeent. The unusually hot weather is likely to cause an early rush to the St. Lawrence watering places. Already a very large number of cottages have been secured, eape:ially ab Caoonna, and the hotels are being prepared for the summer campaigns.

The vast region in the United States, where the rainfall is insufficient for success- ful agriculture, comprises about two fifths of our entire area (exclusive of Alaska). It ag- gregates about 1,200,000 square miles, and is about equal to the combinedareas of Great Britain and 'Ireland, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Holland, and Austria-Hungary. This arid region embraces nearly all the public domain, and is capable of supporting a population of at least 200,000,000. Ib is a third larger than British India,' a country having many dials physical oharaoteristios, and supporting over, 200,000,000 inhabitants largely by irrigation. In solving the problem how to utilize this vast arid reeled so as to make homes for the people, we h,.vu the experience of thousands of years to guide us. The most populous nations of ancient times occupied the arid re- gions of Asia, Africa, and Europe, and sub- sisted by agriculture prosecuted by irriga- tion, . Ib is estimated that there are 6,500,- 000 acres of land 'now cultivated by irriga- tion in the United States, varying in value. from $40 to $1,000 per sore, and yielding a net income equal to the interest on a muoh larger sum than this valuation. Oanada and Australasia. OTTAWA, MAer 30.—The Minister of Militia has heard from Major-General Strange, who is at present visiting Australasia for the purpose of introducing the Maxim automatic gun. . While in Tasmania he delivered a lecture ab Hobart on the subject, " The British girdle round the Globe ; its growth, preservation and decadence." The Mercury of April 2 reports the lec tare alniostverbatim, and the newspaper comments upon it favor- ably. General Strange's observations upon the possibilities of trade between Canada and Australasia would appear to have been aper• feet eye-opener to our sister colonists.
