unusual interest, as illustrating the sustaio-

daily contact with the world, its trials and

brinks. Amid the utensils ofthe brick -kiln
there were also other utetasilsof 000kery—the
lce:tles, the: pots, thepans, with whieh they
prepared their daily food ; and when these
poor slaves, tired of the day's work, lay
down to rest, they lay down among the
implements of cookery and the implements
of hard w'rk. When they arose in the
morning they found their garments covered
with the clay and the smoke and the dust,
and besmirched and begrimedwith the
utensils of Cookery, But after a while the
Lord broke up that slavery, and, he took
these poor slaves into a land where- they
had better garb, bright and clean and
beautiful apparel. No more bricks for
them to make.: Let Pharaoh make his own

the acquaintance of kla young man whom 1
shell call Ellison. Ellison was an infidel.
Ellison scoffed A e religion , an d tbe minister's
son soon learned irons him the infidelity,
and when he went home on his vacation
brake his father's heart by his denunclation
of Christianity. Time passed on and vaca-
tion came. and the minister's son went off
to spend the vacation and was on a journey
and came to a hotel. The hotel -keeper said,
"I am sorry that to -night I shall laave to

there is a very sick and dying mom I can
give you no other accommodation." "Oh,"
said the young college student and minis-
ter's son, " that win make no difference to
me except the matter of sympathy with
anybody that is suffering." The young
man retired to his room, but could nob
sleep. All night long he heard the groan-
ing of the sick man, or the step of the
watchers, and his soul trembled. He
thought to himself, " Now, there is only a
thin wall betweete me and a departing
spirit. How if Ellison. should know how
I feel ? How if Ellison should find out
how my heart flutters ? What if Ellison
knew my scepticism gave way ?" He
slept not. In the morning, coming down
he stud to the hotel.keeper, "How is the
sick man ?" "Oh," said the hotel keeper,
" he is dead, poor fellow 1 The doctors
told us he could not last through the night."
"Well," said the young man. "what was
the sick one's name; where is he from ?"
"Well," said the hotel -keeper, "Ise is from

what is his name ?" "Ellison." "Ellison!"
Oh, how the young man was 'stunned ! It
was his old college mate—dead without any
hope.

could leave that hotel. He got on his horse

• In Rutisia, until lately, liberty to cut,
burn, destroy, and devastate was unre-
stricted ; bat in 1888 a comprehensive and
well -considered law eut off, so far es this
SEM be done on paper, this liberty of van-
dalism. For autocratic Russia this law is
rather timid, and is in. the nature of a com-
promise between communal and privates
interests, in which much if not all depends
OD the good will of the private owner.
A federal low was adepted in Switzer-
land in 1876 which gives the federation
control over the -forests of the mountain
region embracing eight entire cantons and
parts of seven others, or over 1,000,000 ,
aores of forest. The tederation itself does
not own any foreat and the cantons
hardly 100,000 acres, somewhat over four
per cent. of the forest area, two thirds
of which is held in communal ownership,
and the rest by private owners.
The federal authorities have supervision
over all cantonal communal, and private
foresee so Far as they are "protective for.
este" ; but the execution of the law rests
with the cantonal authorities, under the
inspection of federal officere.
In Franoe not only does the stete num-
age its own foreat property (one ninth of
the forme area) in approved manner and
supervise the management of forests belong-
ing to communities and other' -public insti-
tutions (double the area of state forests) in
a manner similar to the regulation of forest
in Germany, but it eextends its control
over the large area of private forests by
forbidding any clearing except with the
consent of the forest e.dminstration.
