Only Twice a Xear. The recent volean.ie disturbances in the South Pacific, writes Geoffrey Pinnock, in Picoadi.ily, have wiped putt a village on Nivafoou-never heard of it, have you? And the map will 1 only show it as a red dot on a blue ocean, pitifully isolated, 340 miles, from Tonga. and 400 from Fiji. Niaufoou's coast of emu! reefs and ,jagged hidden locks is the sailor's bad dream after a thick night ashore. The only regular communication With the island is by the schooner which comes twice A year from. Amer- ica to load the copra, and even on these occasions many days have; sometimes to pass before the ships dare approach the treacherous shore. So Niaut'.00u, led by Mr. Ramsay, leas devised t own matt erv! .. is a ce Whenever the tourist ,steamer To- fua passes, sealed tin cans containing the mail and. gifts of papers and small edible delicacies are sent over the side of the ship about a mile from shore.Waiting it, support- ing uppo t-ing themselves in the heavy swell by swimming and by the aid of ten -foot bamboo poles, are Mr. Ramsay and two natives. The tins are seized by. the lengths of rope attached. Two black faces and one white face, bob- bing about in the immense Pacific, grin and cheer the Tofua's siren shrills, The tin can mail has been delivered, NEW MARRIAGE LAWS. Stringent Penalties Will Be Imposed De Roumania. Heart -breaking will cease to be a. popular pastime in Bucharest when Roumania'snew marriage law comes into force. Dr. Junian, the Minister of Justice, who has drawn up this formidable new document of mar- riage laws, proposes to punish offen- ders ind r ese tion and breach of pro- mise cases most severely. For In- stance, husbands or wives who leave home are liable to a :line and to im- prisonment with hard labor for a per- iod varying from three months to a year. Stringent penalties against jilting and Don Juanism are provided, and in breach of promise mases the return, of presents will not be left to the lov- er's conscience but to the law. Matriage safeguards will be ex- tended ztended to engagements. An engage- ment ring1 will receive the same re- spect as a wedding ring, and a girl who is toldthat the marriage is "off" will be entitled to carry her .lance's name (hyphenated to her own) ,until such time as she finds somebody who really wants to marry her. Illegiti- mate children in Roumania will suf- fer no ineonvenience`under the new law. They will be registered under the name of their father, whom -if they can find him they Gan force to pay for their education and malate nanee. Davy ,Tones' Locker. There has been numerous guesses as to the origin of "Davy Jones," says the Montreal Star. It has beers said that "Davy" is connected with "dove," from which we have our "devil." According to Brewer: "Jones" is a corruption of Jonah, the prophet, who was thrown into the sea, "Locker," in seaman's phrase, means any receptacle for private stores; and "daffy" is a ghost or spir- it among the West Indian negroes. The whole phrase, "He is gone to the place of ,safekeeping, where duffy Jonah was sent," Smollett's "Pere- grine Pickle," chapter 13, says, "This same Davy Jones, according to the mythology of sailors, is the fiend that presides over all the evil spirits of the deep, and is seen in various shapes warning the devoted wretch of death and woe." The Flying Snake. A number of wild animals and rep- tiles from. Sumatra have been pre- sented to the London Zoo by Mr. A. St. Alban Smith, The collection in- cludes a four -foot long specimen of the 8o called flying snake, an ex- tremely handsome reptile with a. brick -red and yellow head, and a green, blue, bronze, and black body. The settle does not actually tly, but has a habit of parachuting from one tree to another, its ventral surface at the time of "flight" be=coming quite concave, like a piece of bamboo longi- tudinally dissected. The "flying snake," a constrictor feeding on small mammals and lizards, is slight- ly poisonous. .Its bite is not fatal to man, Modernized Mohammedan. One Mohammedan who is not'per- turbed by the fact that Mohammedan women in Jerusalem appeared unveil- ed before the High Commisstener.for Palestine is Monlvi Farland Alt,`Im- am of the London Mosque at ' Sottth- fleltis.

FAVORITE HYMNS Our absent Lord has left us word, "Let ev'ry lamp be :burning." Should coming days be cold and dark, We need not cease our singing; That perfect restnaught,can molest, Where golden harps are ringing. Let sorrow's ruddiest tempest blow, Each cord on car to sever; Our King says: "Come," and there's our home, Forever, oh, forever! "l'liis Little hymn was written by a refugee while hiding from his: perse- cutors in a thicket beside tire Mississ- ippi River.' Hours of toil and danger they were 'indeed for him, for those' seekinghis life and liberty were so close to hint, that they even poked the muzzles of their muskets into the cry clump of bushes under which he u' as concealed, It was while lying there with the great bather of Wat.irs gliding swift- ly by, and the fugitive found an old leiter in his pocket, and with the stub of a lead pencil wrote the words of tete liyiarri printed above; David Nelson, their author had been a surgeon in that war of 181.2 in which. the United States thought to conquer and. annex Canada, but were "defeated at Chateauguay and Queens- ton' 'Heights, Afterwards he accont- parried the army in its expedition into Florida. That war ended, Dr. Nelson, e con- vert; frota, infertility, entered the Pres- byterian ministry, and was sticcossful itt his 'labors in ;Kentucky and Ten- nessee. After a few years of this he removed to Missotiri, bought a plan- tation and became a slave owner. One day he was deeply affected by an address uptan emancipation and de- clared emphatically: s'1 will live on roast potatoes and salt before a will hold slaves!" At once he set afoot a movement to establish colonies of freed negroes, and endeavored to in - :Wee the southern states, to agree to ;ive freedom to the slaves. His persistency, and not always gave speeches,k,ave rttuelt of- fence to his neighbors, and after many warnings he was informed that r;oncer•ted attempts were to be made to put him out of th'e way. For three days and nights he fled before the infuriated slavers, travelling through bush and swamps most of the time. At last he made his way to the Mississippi opposite where is now Quincy, Illinois. By continuous sig - nal ing he contrived to make known his condition to friends in that state, and felt assured that during the night some attempt would be made to -res- cue him from his maddened pursuers. He heard theeit voices near by, saw the points of their sticks and guns poking into his retreat, but almost miraculously escaped their vision. As night approached certain mem- bers of the. Congregational Church across the river came over in a canoe and began fishing Pear his hiding - place. At a signal from hint they drew their canoe close to the bank when he dashed into it and was quick- ly paddled to safety in Illinois. His persecutors followed as soon as they became aware of his escape, and demanded his surrender from the authorities, They were, howetter, in- formed that Dr. Nelson was now in a:"free" state, and could not be mol- ested. In Illinois he remained, employed by the Horne Missionary Society, be- came head of a training college, wrote a once well known book on infidelity and its cure and was greatly respect- ed for his earnestness and learning. He died in 1844. His hymn made ita way into one of the religious journals where it caught the eye of the mother of the musician and composer George F. Root, well remembered his rem for setting n d , c e tin g of Too Late" and other songs. She laid it be- fore her son with the remark, "George I think that would be good for music." "I looked at the poem," said Mr. Root, "which began 'My days are gliding' and a simple melody sang it- self along in my mind as I. read. I jotted it down and thenwent on with my other work. That was theorigin of the music of The Shining Shore." Henry Ward Beecher was very fond of both hymn and music and they were at one time prime favorites for Sunday School ;music . My days are gliding swiftly by, And 1, a pilgrim. stranger, Would not detain them as they fly, Those hours of toil and danger. Chorus.

These cells are so small that we require a microscope in or- der to see them, and so they are call- ed microscopic. Each cell is com- plete in itself. It is composed of pro- toplasm and is provided with an out- er wall. The cells i e•produce then- selves by the simple process of di- vision, There are different kinds of cells. One type is the muscle cell, and when we have a number of muscle cells, -we have muscular tissue,' Each organ: of the body is made up of several tie - sties, and each exists for softie spec- ial purpose, The heart, for example, is an organ. which 'serves to pomp the blood. The body is :frequently compared to an engine. An engine regttires fuel, anti so does tite body. The body re- ceives fuel in the foram of food, water' and air. An engine pto'tdes energy and so does the body, Body energy is seen when we use oilr muscles, and we are con5tatitly using this energy to keep our hearts pumping and to provide the heat necessary to keep our bodies warm. • An engine wears out and so does tiie body: The rate of wear and the point at which it occurs depend 'large. Ly upon the care that is given. The body differs from an engine in some important points, The Most im- portant differertce is that the body is built up of living cells and that it is not just a fine p'tete of mechanism, in as muclt as it has a meatal duality which allows it to feel and to think`. and to direct its activities, 9ecattse the body is composed of living cells, it is enabled to grow, aiid.

OLIO=A1 D=0=0= new cells can replace worn ones up to a certain point.- Unlike the engine, because the body is living, it cannot be shut down for.' repairs, nor can new parts be installed as can be done in an engine. There are persons who live as if they thought they could secure a new body, any day for the asking. They throw all kinds of needless burdens on their. bodies, they overwork and overload tlient without giving them time for recuperation. This leads in- evitably to. an early.
