Inasmuch as In our lesson verses we find tbe word "waters" fourteen time* and the word "river" seven times, 1 take these two words as the key weeda* to the heart of our lesson. 1 think of the waters r.bove nnd waters N-low ol Cen. i. ft, 7; John Iv.

The waters give life and li'iil lng, and the trees give tueiit and fruit In Eden herbs and trees were for meal and fruit (Gen. 1, 2t>. 30). In I;den re stored the tree of life will hear fruil lavery month, and the leaves of th* tree will be for the healing or the na Uons <Rer. txli, 2). Compare verse 19 of our lesson. It will be a new day for the Pend sea when lt shall have become a place for fishermen, but the waters shall be healed by the waters from tbe sane ; tuary flowing by the altar.

What those who have charge of wild animal-- In captivity, and especially trainers, dread most a muna the large beasts la that Inexplicable change of temperanieut on the part of the ani? mal knowu In the parlance of the me? nagerie as "going had." Lions are likely to go bad about the tenth year of life; Meeta two or three years earlier. The male tiger ls the dread of the profession when he reaches this condition, heeaeae he ls more likely to go into a frenzy without warning, and once gone had untiling will satisfy him hut murder. He will leap for any man within reach, and when once his teeth are on the bone nothing hut tire will make him relinquish lt. and not always that This "going had" may come in the nature of a sudden attack or it m.-iy develop slowly and Ih> counteracts! if taken in time An old trainer cae usually detect the symptoms of thN curious ailment.

All that is re quired then ls a level head and the wisdom to refrain from further Inter fe renee with the animal.
