A Plea for the Optimistic, Christian View of Life. For what is your life.—James iv. 14. A Latin proverb says : "Art is long, life is short.” But life itself is an urt which must be studied. There are two schools that teach the art of life, the pessimistic and the optimistic. Pessimists arrive at the conclu- sion that lite is hardlyworthh living. That, however, is nut the Christian idea of life. True Christians are optimists and believe that "a-. things work together for good to thein that love God." In the royal gardens of Potsdam there is an old sun dial which bears the inscription: "1 count only the pleasant hours." One might envy it for this prerogative that records ,lone of the dreary hours, but only the SUNNY AND PLEASANT ONES. There are some persons that have the faculty of overlooking and for- getting the disagreeable features of life and noticing only the pleasant sides. Such a sunny mind is cer- tainly a great blessing and there is no reason why every Christian should not have it. There are hours of perfect happiness in everybody's life—hours which reimburse for years of suffering and woe, tho me- mory of which many years after lightens the worn face with happy smiles. But the pleasantest hours are not always the inose profitable, and it is true indeed what is said its the Nineteenth Psalm, that our life's strength is labor and sorrow. There are many of the pleasantest hours which we might just as well forget and there aro many among the dark hours which have left be- hind a lasting blessing. The most fruitful and valuable hours, those uhich give most impetus to the in- ner life, are, as a rule, not the pleasant hours of enjoyment and mirth, but the grave and serious hours, days of woeand nights nt s of tears, times of struggle and priva- tion, the memory of which one would not part with for any price. THE HOLY SCRIPTURE calls life a "sowing of seed" and says: "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." A selfish life, though it bo clean, is without charm and beauty. A sinful and contaminated life is still worse — remorse and self-accusation make it a hell on earth. The only life worth living is tho one of which Christ has left us an example. Devoted to tho service of others, full of that all -conquering love that is strong as death, it brings light and happiness into dark places and bears that sweet and blessed fruit which is promised to all. Such a life is neither tiresome nor ever a cause of regret, but finds grace before God and man. May we all try to (raster this wonderful art and life will become more content, more interesting, more productive of good front day to day until at last it becomes a sweet, harmoni- ous song to the glory of life's Cre- ator.

Most thinkers, how- ever, agree that the power of speech, with all that has grown out of it, is the clearest and most im- portant distinction of mankind, and the surest indication of the superiority that God has conferred upon the human race.

One of the most curious expres- sions of emotional life in China is the application of whistles to a flock of pigeons. These whistles, very light, weighing hardly a few grammes, are attached to the tails of young pigeons soon after their birth, by means of a fine copper wird, so that when the birds fly the wind will blow through the whistles and set thein vibrating, thus producing an open-air concert, for the instruments in one and the same flock are all tuned different - in' IS.

They are lacquered in :ellow, brown. reel. and black to protect the material from destruc- tive influences of the atmosphere. The tube whistles ha%e either two, three. or five tubes. In some speci- mens the five tubes are made of ' s horn instead of bamboo. The gourd whistles are furnished with sora to the number of two. three, six, ten and even thirteen. Certain among them have besides a num• her of bamboo tubes, some on the principal mouthpiece, some ar- tanged around it. These varieties are distinguished by different names. Thus a whistle with one mouthpiece and ten tubes is called 1,500 MILES. Forger Sentenced in Rhodesia to Penal Servitude Escaped Front a '!'rain. Adventures as thrilliug as those of toe prisoner who escaped 'rein Levet s isle ended recently in Ju: rl Cress ick, an alert, etetermined looking man of tarty, appearing In Lite uu, k at Bow street, London. Creswick was sentenced to six years' penal servitude in Rhodesia ter forgery and was placed on a train at C,welo for removal to Sal- isb ' wasnum- ber Hc, guarded by a - n m ber of leen, his unklee were man- acled, and it seemed impossible that one could escape. During the early hours of the morning he eluded his guards and reached the back of the train. Tho train was travelling v llinngat a rate of twenty miles an hour at the time, but, without hesitating, he jumped oft, and landed uninjured on the rough track. 111s disappearance was not dis- covered fur some time, and although his movements wero impeded by his chained ankles, he was able to reach a place of safety. His first necessity was to rid him- self of his irons. This he accom- p.ished, after many attempts? by breaking the steel rivets with pieces of rock. Even then his plight was little better, for he was in imminent dan- ger of dying from hunger or being killed by lions. By an extraordin- ary chance he met a friend, who gave him a rifle and ammunition and lent him some money. FIVE MONTHS' TRAMP. Croswick decided that his best chance of escape was to reach the port of Boma, in the Congo Free State, and he set out on a 1,500 miles' walk across Africe. For five long months he tramped through the heart of the continent, living on animals and birds he killed with his gun. At times he was on the verge of starvation, he underwent many privations, and his escapes from death were countless, but at length he reached Boma. Here he ex- changed what was left of his prison dress for a pair of grey trousers, a striped jacket, and a cricket shirt, and booked his passage by a steamer to Antwerp. Froin Antwerp he travelled to London, where he thought it was impossible that he could be recog- nized. He was walking in Leman - street. Whitechapel, when he was stopped by Detective Inspector Belcher. "I believe you are John Cres - wick," the inspector stated. "and that you escaped from custody in Rhodesia." "Oh, no," Creswick replied. "The man 1 want has the Prince of Wales' feathers tattooed on his arm," snid the inspector. "Let me look at yours." "You are right," Creswick ad- mitted. "I am the man." After his arrest he told the whole story of his adventures. He was re- manded in order that the authori- ties might decide how they will deal with him. BOTH TAINTED.

SENTENCE STRMONS. Love never has to advertise for a job. Saints are never seen by search- ing in mirrors. Faith never travels far when it forgets the facts. No pian knows truth 1 'e wants ppatent it. The way to be faithftitf co truth to is to follow it. Every gift is measured by its real cost to the giver. Riches become dangerous only when rooted in our affections. The greatest verities are found by loyalty to small truths. The baggage car does not go through on the heavenly train. A good deal of public generosity hides a lot of private meanness. The large hearted always sec large qualities in their friends. Whatever is given by the hand is more than gained by the heart. Tho only way to fill the harves- ter's wagon is to empty the sower's beg. Every man's view of this world is better fur his being blind to some of it. It often happens that the punish- ment we think is remitted is only ripening. It takes more than Sunday dreams of heaven to make a heaven- ly week. Some people have a way of pray- ing for others that makes them pre- fer cursingk. The meewho inherit the earth do not get their title to it by crawl- ing in the dust. Some seem to think the hest evi- dence of being the salt of the earth is ability to snake folks smart. The most popular religious delu- sion of our day is that discussing duties is the same thing as doing them.

First Steeple ('lock Set up in Milan in 1309. In this age of centenaries, this year, according to a French con- temporary, marks the six hundredth anniversary of the setting up of ttie first steeple clock. It is claimed that the honor belongs to Milan, and it was in that city, in the year 1309, that the venerable sun dial of the campanile of Saint Eustace gave place to the clock. Dante on more than one occasion refers to it, and the horologe is said to have in- spired other poets with themes for versification. The claim of Milan of having the first steeple clock is not an estab- lished fact—that is, if the date of its installation be 1309; for the late Lord Grimthorpe, no mean author- ity on horology, states that a clock was put up in a former tower at Westminster with some great bells in 1288, out of a fine imposed on a corrupt chief justice, and the motto, "Discite justtiam, moniti." The bells were sold, or rather, it is said, gambled away by Henry VIII. In 14.92 a clock is mentioned in ('anter - bury cathedral as costing £30. There is also a clock in Dover Castle with the date 1348. Lord Grim- thrope adds that it is much like our common clocks of the eighteenth century, except that it has a vib- rating balance, but no spring, in- stead of a pendulum, for pendulums were not invented for three cen- turies after that dale,—London G lobe.
