A bird of this species was once startled by a plow passing within a yard or so of its ;test. Destruction was almost a certainty, as the plow must pass entirely over it in the next round, and the laborer wondered how the partridge would act. The time necessary for going around the field was about NO minutes, yet in that almost incredible period the parent birds had etrectcd the removal of some 21 eggs to a safe spot. Careful search led to the discovery of the bird calmly seated upon her treasures in the bottom of the hedge out of reach of the plow.

There is a man who holds the position of agent for popular preacher of this city. Ho was a college graduate and had stuieied saw, theology, horses, music, the dram:- and ram:and had tried the newspapers, all without success. Then he made the discovery that the preachers were the hardest pushed of all professional men for ideas to incorpo- rate into their sermons. "Now this,” says the agent, "is what I do. A preacher hires me to wander about town and report to him little incidents or queer ideas that strike me. Iia takes these and weaves them into his sermons. For instance, a preacher who has a largo congregation with much visiting to do could not, if he were so in - alined, visit all the public meetings, the re- torts of gamblers anti drunkards, the fac- tories and the shuns of the city. "I am the eyes through which he sees these things, and using my information he speaks learnedly and intelligibly of all phases of life and sets his congregation a-wonderingwhere he gets time to see so much. He is thus enabled to interest every clement in his congregation, appearing to the sporting man as a sport, to the athlete as an enthusiast iu athletics, to the musi- cian as a musician and to the theater goer as one well versed in the plays of our day. I also telt him what the pnople are saying about him, and so he is able to talk to the different classes in a way that leads them - ignorant of my offices as a go between -to think him really wonderful in readingtheir thoughts. I ant liberal in my ideas." ---Cin- cinuati Times -Star, All Lig Stores on Ono Side of n Street. Doubtless there are reasons for the fact that all the great retail dry goods houses in Broadway are, with a single exception, on the west side of the street. It can hardly be that their location on the west lido is merely the result of ebaaee or coincidence, for the great establishments of the saute class in Sixth avenue are also on the West side of the street. In other cities the same thing may be observed. Nearly all great retail establiehments (rent eastward, rare- ly to the west and still less frequently to the north. What is the reason? Can it be due to s;uI'erst.ticn of trade.I or is it the re: telt cf s:,:::e more p:•: cl.lcai cohsideration2 The most likely ctpla:nation is that mer- chants prefer stores fronting eastward on account of the better light thus obtainable. "It is city (reservation," remarked a vet- eran merchant, "that women do the more important part' of their buying before noonday. They seldom purchase but tri- Iles or unimportant articles after noon. Costly dresses, wraps and luxurious fab- rics are sold for the most part in the fore- noon. hence an easterly light is not only desirable, but almost indispensable. The dealer who builds on the west side of the way has an eye to the morning sunshine and to business." -New York Herald. t,Y'irrrnv rnl't'sa It to art bsaiu rn r11'i;t'b;'tV. fe ti'llieit ease ea certain to pay ":atm the eon promptly w'•hen .you said Cott Weald. dL'....:.dokt , iniY 1 4t CLOUDS AND STOIL 18. WHENEVER THERE ARE CLOUDS IN THE SKY LOOK FOR RAIN, if the Tido. Is Fiigit, Clouds In the North, west Po rut:Uean Bain, but Lc'v Tide and a Strong !find Seem to Bring Storms, i's- Your ft'yes For 'Weather Signs. Yon doubtless have seen thunder show- ers form under a perfectly clear sky. First n little cloud would form not much larger than It uuan's hand, then that little cloud u-111 pass through a succession of rapid t:ansf'urmations until the whole sky is ob- scured. The rain descends in torrents, and the wind blows a gale. lint there is not a acientillc book in the world today that gives a satisfactory explanation why that cloud formed or why the wind. blew. All scientists base their theories of wind and rain on the one fact that Beat ascends. Anel they maize an ascending current re- sponsible for everything. If you undertake to forecast the weather on that theory, you will gat left j" -t ',lee the weather bureau. On May 6 the Washington weather bza- ✓ c special t issued ucd n s, ecsnl bulletin to the press, in which they stated that the conditions were favorable for warts, pleasant weather Sae u day or two in this vicinity, Mit ou that very day ono of tho worst storms of this year swept over this part of the country. Now, if these people aro not able to forecast the weather for 24 hours by their system, with all their facilities, surely it is no use for you to try. What is needed is a system which any ordinary person can use without spending $15 or 3::0 for scientific instru- meats. With my system all that is needed is a good pair of eyes and a level head. And then you can reap out the weather for your locality with a greater degree of cer- tainty thuu the weather bureau cam for 43 hours. First lot us consider the first cause which starts the wind in notiou where a storm is forming. For several miles above the earth's surface there are currents and coun- tercurrents almost constantly in motion, while above them is a vast body of intense cold, kept away from the earth by the pres- ence of these moving currents. Were it not so we Would a',1 freeze to death in spite of the shining of the sun. For cold nat- urally descends. Now. notice the wonder - cut previsions a kind providence hue made to protect us and our harvests, Our at- mosphere is filled with little particles of moisture. Cold exerts a natural influence over moisture -it matters not whether it bo cold iron, cold gloss or cold air. Whatever particles of moisture exist in the vicinity of that cold body instantly concentrate in or around it and condense into drops of water. As these little particles of moisture vacate their position of space and descend to the earth the space which they previously oc- cupied must be filled. Then currents of air set in motion carrying other particles of moisture to occupy the space just vacated. This law which condenses the moisture else contracts the atmosphere. Therefore when- ever we notice that the wind is beginning to blow then wo know that there is an im- portant change takiug place in the upper striata of the earth's atmosphere and that it body of cold is descending. Now, if that cold lardy continues to de- scend what will be its efrectsp We read in the 13ible that the Prophet Elijah stood on the top of Mount Carmel, and before him were gathered all Israel -their crops were withered and their fields barren beckuse the Lotti had suspended this law, and rain had not fallen for three years and six months. But now the old prophet prays and sends his servant to look front.the top of the mount, and the servant ex- claims, "I see a little cloud like a man's hoed." We aro then told that the heavens are darkened, and the wind blew, and there tees great rain. And I desire to state right here that all clouds that ever existed and all winds that ever • blew and all rain that ever fell on the earth had their origin in the little cloud which formed in the midst of a clear sky. Very frequently, however, those who have seen the cloud form hove not seen the rain, But you must not cltssify the fog as as cloud nor call the gentle on and off shore breezes wind. Scientific writers have divided clouds in- to six classifications, as follows: Cumulus, tomato stratus, nit:ibns, cirrus, stratus and O nus stratus. Ilut 1 have never seen an explanation given by any scientists why the clouds assume these varied forms. Per- mit file to explain why. I hold in my hand a dry and withered leaf.

Now, clouds are subjected to'tIie same law of growth, and there is only-oite form of cloud credited, namely the cumulus, and that little cloud which the servant of Eli- jah saw from the top of 3Iount Carmel Was a cumulus cloud. lint the little cloud trussed through three stages of rapid trans- formation; then it rained. First the cumu- tits, then cumulo stratus. The little cloud had formed into ridges. 'Then the upper edges of the cloud became smooth and white, with perfectly curved letdrt, and drops of water begun to descend from tho upper ecige:e, and it became n uimbdts cloud. Now the told air squeezes the cloud, and the water is forced out of it like at sponge.

Hoar and Shiftless liettlors According to a Northern Traveler -now They Itegurdod the •.ankt,e Who Sought .In Vain Per Their Ville in the Stream. All the world knows of the Suwauee riv- er tbrough the song that bas immortalized the etrea111, but not one in tea can tell you where the Suwaneo river is, where it rises 01' whither it flows, As a matter of fact the torp shows that it rises in Georgia, flows south through Florida and empties into the gulf of Mexico, Along its banks in Florida the land is low and marshy, and there is not much iu the scenery to inspire sentiment, tender or pathetic. In Georgia there are many pretty spots along its banks, but the trouble of reaching them takes away, in agreat meas- ure, the enjoyment they impart. I was disappointed in tho river and its scenery, but what the river lacked the na- tives along its shores made up to me. The "Cracker" Las often been delineated and his characteristics commented onto length, but he never strikes you twice alike and is Pherefore always an object for intereat and study. An unconquerable dislike for labor and a contentment that strangles ambition at its birth are the most prominent traits of his character. Why I should be poking along the river and paddling up and down without any ap- parent motive and taking pictures was something that they could not guess with- out doing some thinking, so they let it go as a mystery, and when u man is on myste- rious business in that part of Georgia they take it for granted that he is hunting for stills. One old fellow who was sitting on a log deluding himself with the idea that he was fishing became so interested in my opera- tions for taking a photograph that I could not resist the temptation to add a little by way of extempore moves to the process. For a time I was fearful lest heshould dislocate his neck trying to watch me, as I was be - .hind him. Finally ho compromised with his anatomy by straddling the log. I knew that he was just dying with curiosity to know what I was doing, but wanted me to tell him without his asking. I carefully measured off a triangle with a leg of the tripod and then set the camera within the mystic lines. Then X stood at each corner of the triangle, where I had driven a little stake, and waved my arms in the sir. I paid no attention to the audi- ence. Then I focused the camera and made the exposure incidentally. Then I laid a little train: of magnesium powder from the camera to a hollow tree near by and fired the train. There was a line of smoke, but of course no flame showed. Then I walked to the hollow in the tree and apparently took from the cavity a dark, flat bottle -it was fall. Without a word I walked up to the old man, who had not let a move escape him, unscrewed the top and banded hits the bot- tle. Ile took it, looked at me, smelled of it -when he handed it back there was not a drop in it -all in silence. Without say- ing anything I saw who the joke was on, put the bottle in my pocket, gathered up the camera and wal ked away. When I got behind some. bushes, I turned and looked back. The old mans was trying to pry that dead tree open with Itis fishing pole. One man that I met was not at all im- pressed by the fact that fate had domiciled him near the rippling waters of the cele- brated stream. I opened conversation with him.

Topic For the week Beginning Aug. n7. Comment by Bev. 8. II. Doyle. Torte.-Coutinual witnessing, Acts xxvi, 22: Ps. xxxiv,1-4, Less than a year ago, Oct. 23, 1892, we had for our topic, "Witnessing For Christ." The 'topic at that time was general, embracing all the phases of Christians as witnesses for Christ and His gospel. The topic before us, how- ever, is limited to one phase of theesub- ject-naniely, continual witnessing. In the illustrative references we have set forth several profitable characteristics of continual witnessing. 1. How inay we continually witness for Christ (Acts xxvi, 22)? Paul attributes his ability to God. "By God's help" he says he has been enabled to stand and witness continually for Christ. God is the true source of constant witnessing. He prolongs our lives. Ile fills us with the proper disposition. He surrounds us with the necessary opportunities. It is therefore expedient for us to pray to our Father that He will bless us with all these necessary qualifications: 2. What are we to continually wit- ness (Acts xxvi, 22)? Again Paul may be our model, for he witnessed "none other things than those which the proph- ets and Moses said should come to pass." Paul limited his witnessing to divine truths, as God had revealed them through His inspired prophets. Wo should limit our testimonies to the same. That which has no sanctum in the divine word should form no part of our wit- nessing. It is not tradition and men's opinion that will affect men, but divine faycts and truths. Tho Bible should be the source of our instruction and our facts, and our witnessing will then bs effective; otherwise it will not. 3. To whom should we continually witness (Acts xxvi, 22)? Paul witnessed continually to all -"to small and great." To all men we should bo constant wit- nesses. The rich ase not to be shunned because of their riches, or the poor be- cause of their poverty, the wicked be- cause of the opposition to divine truths; os the indifferent because they may mock the sacred things of God. To all r'icttsuntWords I`or i•:ndoavorcrs. Such a tour of the world as Dr, Clarlf has made is to memorable axld cheering sign of the times, It is ono of a thou* sand proofs that there aro now no foreign lands and that there can be no more hermit nations.

P. 5, 0, E. is helping in a priceless way to heal the world. He hits nowhere taught any erratic or perversive doctrine, but has borne faithful witness to the pr- ganizing and redemptive troths and in- stitutioxls of a scholarly and .vangelicaI faith and life. After their prolonged fatigues and perils of travel, let ns wel- come home Dr. and Mrs. Claris not mere- ly as Americans, but as crowned cosmo- politans of Christian Endeavor.

In some of the district congregations in India the native Christians (,ose their services with three words that mean, s "Victory to tate Lord Jesus," Over 200 African converts in Uganda and the regions about have suffered death rather than give up their faith in Christ. f It is said that if the United States were 'supplied with ministers in the same pro - !portion that tho heathen world is with ;missionaries there would bo altogether about 275, about two-thirds as many as there are now in Boston alone. 1 Nine casks of missionary arrowroot [have been sent to Edinburgh this year from Ancityttin, New Hebrides, and throe from Fortuna. The latter is a contribution from the native Christiana to help prepare native teachers and to build the first church in Fortuna. Will Keep on Endeavoring. Some apprehension is expressed in England lest the Endeavor society should become identified with the Boys' Bri- gade and similar movements which are denounced in many quarters in tngland as fostering the military spirit and as tending purely to secularism. While the Endeavor movement sympathizes with every good cause our friends in England and America need have no fear that it will not keep strictly to the legiti- mate religious and si?iritual purposes for which it was organized and in keeping to which it has been so blessed.-Est- change. lessed.-Eachange.

Why should we witness continual- ly (Ps. xxxiv, 1-4)? In this passage we have an outburst of the psalmist in praise to God, 1'I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continu- ally be in my mouth." So it should bo with all. Why? Because God's mercies and blessings to us aro contixiucuts, hourly and daily.
