Breached from tit' following text
Solomon's :Long li., 12, "The titan
of Cm singing of the birds is cone,"
"Do you know what makes the
Mow -Imolai disappear In the spring-
Umoe"" asked n, nom of poetic temp-
erament. "Why, yes," 1 answered.
"It Is duo to the heat of rho stn
boissg so much stronger now than it
is in January. It 1s due to the fact
that, , contact the earth is
being warmed at tho sun's flreslde,
even as one side of a piece of broad
10 toasted by being exposed to the
kitchen stove's heat walla the othor
side of that pleat of bread remains
vnseorohed." "Oh, no," answerOd my
noetic friend, "The snow disappears
.trot on account of tho sun's rays; but
because the flames glowing among the
feathers of the red -breasted robins
have meltod thein. have you not
noticed, as a rule, the snowflakes
nevor entirely disappear until those
harbingers of rho summer flowers

, ture. Yet old, blind and ntgleoted
by his people, he had to write for
prosperity because the men of hid
own Gums and generation would not
listen to his poetics song, Edmund
Burke, one of the greatest of the
English statesmen of lits time, most
of his life w,es ]practically a states-
man without an °fal'ce, or, if in oitice,
ono who held a very subordinate
place. So littlo was ho honored by
his 13arJlamentary colleagues that it
was once said, "No man could empty
the house of commons so quickly as
when Edmund Burice arose to speak,"
First, like the song bird, God bids
us sing because ho has given to us
=Weal 'throats with which to sing.
• As the brown thrush or the redbird
or the nightingale is able to llft his
voice in treble or fantasia or lullaby
00 cauttata or serenade, God, by ana-
tomical construction of the throat,
leas made It poss[blo for us to sound
forth musical notes in his name. ITe
has not disconnected our windpipes
front the great bellows of the lungs.
He has not had us horn with palsied
tomato, or with deaf ears. But as
God has placed in tho larynx of every
singing bird's throat a thin mom
brane, so he has stir -totted over rho
end of almost every human being's
windpipe a fibrous, elastic tissue
which will vibrate as we attempt to
sing or speak. We ought, 1010 and
all, to b1) grateful that God has giv-
en to us ,nnntomically a musical
throat with which we can sing 1»s
praises. Thank Clod to -day for the
power of the speaking throat. We
are all ready to ackaowledee our
indebtedness to him for the blessings
of the eye. 7f you aro not, then
rend that wonderful story written by
tiro most famous of 1Jvtne English
authors. The book opens with a de-
se1'ipt(on of a noted war artist who
is growing blind. Frenziedly ho
works at his last canvas, then the
,i` dark cloud of total obscuration falls
inion him. ITJs friends leave him one
by oto for the Egyptian war, Iia
sit4 in his room alone, an object of
pity, until at last, crazed by horror,
hu stores for the front and is there
mercifully shot by an Arab's bullet.

singing birds in their oratorios hallo
glorious themes to sing about. Their
song is the resurrection, They slag
of the bursting seeds and the it-
conse of swinging flowers, Thoy
sing of the winter which is gone and
the harvests which are to come.
They sing of titu sheep which are
growing the wool that the little
children may have warm clothing to
defy the December blasts and of the
sap giving life to the trees that the
great logs may be rolled into the
old fashioned fireplaces around
which tho families can gather about

love. They sing of the open har-
bors and the king's ships going to
Tarsh.ish to come hack laden with
gold nod silver and ivories and the
wealth of foreign Wince. They sing
of our earth's resurrection, which
is emblematic of a heavouly glory.
Oh., my frie,tds, hike the song -birds

CHORUS OF TIM WOODS.
Again, God bids us, like the song
birds, sing becaase he does -not ex-
pect us to he soloists, but to take
an essential part in a great life's
chorus. The true beauty of the
song bird's singing is that he etu•-
rios a part and not a whittle day's
solitary musical rocitat.iot, .Like
tho piccolo, Or the clarinet, his
voice may be shrill, or like the Pluto,
soft and sweet, or liko the bass viol,
loud and deep; but wbnther soft or
loud, ins voice has a part, en essen-
tlatl port, in the chorus of trine woods
If you would know how essential
the bird's voices aro for the musical
sweetness of the woods just go with

chorus for the salvation of the

take our part, as each bird of the
woods has his singing pert. Sing !

Sing your part in the "Song of

Like the singing birds, we should
not only sing because we hay° an
esscintiol part in Cod's grant chorus,
but because cinch sopa bird inspires
othor song birds to sing, A little
canary in a room alone may not
caro to warble. But it is different
when two or three birdcages are
hanging 1 n windows through which
the suit is shining. 711011 ono lord's

'that such glory Coltld thus ht` veiled

AN EXAMINATION,
""You, of course, remember the old
classical story of the Gorgon's head
with living snakes for hair, which
turned the behoider Tato stone ? I
can now understand where the ori-
ginal of that idea came from. The
oxplanution was before me in that
beautiful boudoir.
"Surrounding a Iovely oval face
with a warm 01ivo complexion and
strange lilac blue eyes and standing
out a good twelve inches from it,
was a tremendous mass of black
hair. Every single hair was about
ELS thick as an ordinary manila
clothes lino and as stiff as that rope
is when first bought,
""There was actually a palpitating
kind of movement about the hairs,
which added to the dreadfulness of
it. The likeness to a mass of snakes
about the head was very real.
"I don't mind owning up to hav-
ing been an exceptionally long time
fn counting the heart beats at her
wrist while I was palling myself to-
gether and getting over the shock.
S speedily found that every single
hair was a tube full of viscid hum-
or, and that thero were actually pul-
sations near the scalp, pulsations as
narked and as violent as in the case
of an abscess or carbuncle.
"The strain upon the head of the
sufferer must be Intense, though the
pain from the thousands of heated,
SUPPURATING HAIRS
does not appear to be as great as
might be oxpocted. One need not
be very much of a surgeon to see
that whoa the hair ducts upon tho
scalp have been inflamed and become
enlarged so as to allow of the free
passage of blood and humor tho
cutting orf of the hair becomes am-
putation of a most clangorous .kind.
Indeed, local treatment of any kind
is almost an impossibility, though
the disease is not absolutely incur-
able.
"My patient was, I think, im-
proving under tl•eatlnent; but acting
upon either a hint from abroad,
from some of her revolutionary
friends, or upon n Budd .1 r s]

she told too, she left one day for
Germany. Instructions were loft
with her landlord to sell the furni-
ture and forward the receipts to a
lawyer in Berlin.
"No, I don't think that the Polish
disease is seriously infectious,
though there slay be hereditary pre-
disposition toward it. It is com-
nnonly thought that cleanliness and
are of the scalp and hair aro the
- -best preventives.

of this terrible and really dangerous
