that is, a scribe who interpreted
the law, made trial of him, or ques-
tioned him, in order to teat his
ability as a teacher.
What shall I do to inherit—The
tense implies that the lawyer had
in mind the performance of some
one great deed or perhaps the mak-
ing of some noble eaorifice. ('Oom-
pare Mark 10. 17.)
Eternal life—Literally, the life
of the ages. The expression "eter-
nal life" was familiar to the Jews
before Christ eamo, as is shown in
the apocryphal hook of Enoch (15.
44). But the lawyer, like the rich
young man who asked Jesus the
same question, had an erroneous
view of eternal life and its rela-
tion to this life, Jesus and his fol-
lowers referred to it as a spiritual
condition, the divine life in the
soul. (See Acts 18. 30; 1 John 6,
11, 12.)

Now and then a steamer may be

chinery becoming disabled by short-
age of coal, by fire or,by the loss or
its rudder or propeller in heavy wea-
ther. Its crew may decide to aban-
don it and take to the boats, but if
they neglect to open the peacocks on
their departure their ship may float
for many a long day,
Tho erratic movements of some der-
elicts are almost uncanny. Not so
very long .a new Norwegian sailing
ship, the Grown, left Nova Scotia for
a South American port. It was laden
with timber, and while still to the
North Atlantic Ocean was overtaken
by a terrible storm, which dismasted
and left it a battered wreck.
The crew, realizing- It was useless
to remain on board, abandoned it and
took to the boats, Dover to be heard
of again, but their ship, although it
vanished completely for no less than
three months, was sighted at the end
of this time on the edge of the Sar-
gasso Sea, a good seven hundred miles
from where disaster overtook it,
Soon aftsrwnrds it was elghtod off
Bermuda, bot then disappeared again,
and may still bo drifting about tiro

Another sailing ship was abandoned
off Cape May. The crew endeavored
to destroy it by fire on their depar-
ture, but, although 1t blazed furiously,
the sodden, water-logged cargo Avea-
tually extinguished the flumes.
A few weeks later the hulk was off
the English coast and it was thought
it would be dashed to pieces on the
shore, but, altering its course, it pro-
ceeded to the southward along the
French coast and was next seen near
the Azores. Having got thus far, it
proceeded to cross the Atlantic, and
after covering fully six thousand miles
in its wanderings, finally drifted
ashore near Panama,

Poi, instance, iu Venezuela is' the
cow tree, which derives its name from
the faot that when the trunk is out
a stream of milk gushes- out—milk of
thick, creamy consistency, with a
balmy fragrance. The milk flows best
in the early morning and at sunset.
At these times; the natives come from
far and near with bowls or palls to
get their family supply of the milk, It
is of such thickness that 1f left to

Another ono of nature's dairies is
the butter tree. Tho name is also
given to several tropical trees which
yield certain oils that tan be used for
butter, The real butter tree grows in
Central Africa, From the kernels of
the fruit Is obtained rich butter that
oan be preserved a year or more.
in order to make the mead com-
plete there should be bread to go with
the butter, and this is provided by the
bread tree, which flourishes in the
islands of the Pacific. The tree is of
good size, with largo lobed leaves and
fruit of a roundish form, from four•to
seven inches in diameter. This fruit
when baked resembles bread some-
what, and Is eaten by the natives as
such.
A boon to the weary wayfarer is the
