That the great teacher knew men well, their rveaknosses and their needs, is remarkably shown by this ssounsol. He had noted the anxiety written in their faces. Their duties, thein business, their responsibili- ties weighed down the uplift of their hearts, And how much more He would have observed the same .aspect to -day, Life then was simple and free compared with the present.

Life is not -being Iived easily and naturally, hub under a pressure -almost painfully, Even the faces of the young reveal this severe con- ception of life. Now, Christ considered this a dis- torted, needless and unhappy thing, And so He calls mon to look at the freedon and '3. BLITHESOME JOY of the caroling birds -so much wispy in'their simplicity than they in all their anxious forethought and strain. How, then, can we avoid this error and take life easily and naturally4. Love your work. Do not, think that every one else has an easier calling than you have. Most of us have found the labor fitted to our hand, and, remembering that work is • life's chief business, we should take delight in it. Throw away all ambition beyond that of doing your day's work well, Exercise neigh- borliness, _feel kindly to your broth- er man, show an interest in his suc- cess, live and let live. Find pleas- ure in' Isfo and interest in s others. It is our selfishness that accounts LIFE . Cues for much of our stress. Were we s.etisfiod with our portion instead of cherishing a grasping spirit we would find life a far less thorny road, lie who takes time to do a kindly action lightens his own task and illumes his owmm. Again, have some innocent'' re- creation, It is the greatest error to confound religion with abstinence and austerity. The church has never made the mistake of oppos- ing harmless pleasures: Those Christian people who have douo so have sadly misrepresented it, Never work averevils to come, "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof:" Far more troubles are suffered in imaginations than in reality. Let us hope for the best instead for dreading the worst. Never bear more than ono trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds -ell they have had, all they have now and all they expect to have. Let us not, then, suffer from IMAGINARY SORROWS. And when troubles do come bear them patiently, Patienceis as a case of armor around the heart which deadens the blows inflicted on it. Impatience not only strips off the covering, but lays baro the ver,f quick in all its sensitiveness of nerve. To bear evilswith patience extracts from them their sharpest thorns and gathers from them the sweetest graces of temper. But the chief means of taking life easily is that to which the Mas- ter here points us. It is the lessee taught by the birds. They aro by no means idle. They work from morning until night. But their ac- tivity is without care. Their life is free, joyous, unburdened by anxiety -a gladsome flight, ceaseless song and yet your heavenly father feed-. nth them. Are ye not much better than they? Let us then havo .faith in God. Let us do our work and trust the rest to Him. JUNIUS B. REME1 SNYDEU. THE S. S. LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, FEB. 14. Lesson VII.

FARM LANDS AND STOCK STATEMENT O1' VALUES IN DIFFERENT PROVINCES. Latest Report of the Bureau of Sta- tisties and Census of the . Dominion. The Bureau of Census and Sta- tistics issued recently a report for the year just ended on farm land values in the Dominion, the value of farm animals, and the average of farm and domestic wages. The. average value of farm land for all the Provinces is $;s5.70 per acre. In five of the Provinces it is under 830, being $27.30 in Manitoba, $25 in Nova- Scotia, $21.40 in New Brunswick, $20.40 in Saskatchewan, and :$18.20 in Alberta. In Prince Edward Island the average is $33.- 70 per acre, in Quebec $41.90, in Ontario $47.30, and in British Co- lumbia $76.10. Values are higher. in the last named Province, owing to the comparatively large extent of farm land there in orchard and small fruits: VALUE OF HORSES. The average value of horses at the end of the year is $46 for those under one year, $100 for one to under three years, and $143 for three years and over. Horses of the last class are below an aver- age of $120 in Prince Edward Is- land, Nova Scotia and Alberta in New Brunswick, Quebec and On- tario they are about $140, and in Manitoba and Saskatchewan they are $170 to $176. Milch cows have an average value in the Dominion of 834, ranging from $29 in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick to $36 in On- tario and 837 in Saskatchewan, but in British Columbia the average is $48. Other horned cattle have an average value over the Dominion of $9 for those under one year, $21 for one to under three years, and $32 for three years and over. These averages are generally close for all the Provinces, but the high- est values aro given for Ontario and the western Provinces. SWINE AND SHEEP. The averse value of swine g is given at $5,86 per 100 pounds live weight, being lowest in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and highest in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia. Sheep aro given an average value of $5.23 per head for the Dominion, and are below the average in the Maritime Provinces, Quebec and Saskatchewan. The total value of farm animals, eomputed on the foregoing aver- ages and the number of animals on the farms in June, was• $530;000,000. The June price of wool for the Do- minion was 18 cents per pound, The average wages of farm and domestic help for the Dominion per month was 894,60 for males and 813.50 fey females, and per year $208 for males and $130 for females. The highest averages are reported for the western Provinces, where they reach about 8300 $300 per year for males and 8160 for females In On- tario and Quebec the average for males is about $240 and for females $120 per year.

When he gained his senses he found him- self in an alarming position. The floor, probably through some de- fect in building, had given way cleanly as though cut by a knife, right under his large doublebed, which thus had two legs hanging in the void, the other two being on the portion of the floor left.

A poor woman who was found in the streets of Messina attracted attention through her strange be- havior.

They were all buried among the debris of the house, the bigger children probably killed in the fall, as she heard no sound. The baby fell with her under a beam, but on her chest and would have been alive now bad nob one of the ghouls who added fresh terrors to the city, angry at not finding any- thing to steal and irritated by the crying of the child which attracted attention to the spot, brutally kicked it, killing ib immediately. The mother was afterward released. and finding a friend on the street, poured out her terrible trouble. The friend had evidently been the goody of her district and told the poor credulous creature, that if she said two beads of her rosary at every street corner, never re- peating a street and crossed her- self five times, her children, if not yet dead, would revive. So the poor thing had pursued her pitiable perambulations for 24 hours, with- out food, never: stopping for fear of thus indirectly killing slier poor children, long since dead. She absolutely refused even to sit dorvn until assured by the archbishop of Messina, before whom she was taken, that HER SACRIFICE WAS IN VAIN. Conditions in Reggio are worse than at Messina.
