The latter was Sbe associated with the winter, as it comes to Tihe the meridian in Januarvy. The Pieiades, or "Ho seven stars, connected with all sweetness dise and joy; Orion. the herald of the tempest. store The aunetents were the more apt to study the thin ris physiognomy and juxtaposition of the cene heavenly bodies because they thought they P:eil had a special influence upon the earth, and Onri perhaps they were right.

Hii at And there are some things which make me thei think that it may not have been all sup-r- und stitution which connected the movements in E d awnd appearance of the heavenly bodice with thut great moral events on earth. Did not a ate, meteor run on evangelistic errand on the king he first Chlristmas night and designate th. seer rough cradle of our Lord? Did not the stars that in their course fight against Sisera? Was it and 'a- merely coincidental that before the destruc- toss I1 tion of Jerusalom the moon was hidden for nfl twelve consecutive nights? Did it merely pre aat happen so that a new star appeared in con- war stellation Cassiopeia, and then disappeared Got just before Charles IX of France, who was Y responsible for the St. Bartholomnew mas- just sacre died?

No zer fl- wonder that Amos of the text, having teard Jam these two anthems of the stars, cut down I tc the stout, rough staff of the herdsman and I as em took into his brown hand and cut and ru n knotted lingers the pen of a prophet and ad- we Le vised the recreant people of his time to re- we turn to God, saying. "Seek him that maketh ne the seven stars and Orion." This command, pi at- which Amos gave 785 years B. C., is just as Ca Pa. appropriate for us, 1897 A. D. lie In the firt place Amos saw, as we must his on- see, that the God who made the Pleiades and fir, too Orion must be the Godl of order. It was not so much a star here and a star there that Irn- ms pressed the in-piretl herdsman, but seven in cat one group and seven in another group. He he saw that night after night anti season after thi season, and decade after decade, they hail etc kept step of light, each one in its own place, a isa sisterhood never clashing and never contest- in: ing precedence. From the time Hesiod called air the Plaiades the .'seven daughters of Atlas," on and Virgil wrote in his "Alueld" of "stormy an Orion." until now, they have observed the ty] p- order estattlished for their coming and go- la ing: order written, not In manuscript that lot they may be pigeon-holed, but withttle hand su of the Almightyon the dome of the sky, so th that all Nations may read it-order, perslit- wa eot order, sublime order, omnlpotent order. It What a sedative to you and me. to whom Mi eommunltles and Nations sometimes seem an going pellmeIll, and the world ruled by some "1 felndt at haphazard, and in all dlreettonsmalt- a admlnistratlon! The God who keeps seven ct Bee worlds In right circunit for 6000 years can 01 certainly keep all the affairs of individuals de a an:d Nations and continents in adjustment, y, We had not better fret much, for the peas- to ant's argumert ofihetext was right. If God can take eare of the seven worlds of the at Plulades and the four chief worlds ot Orion to lie can probably takle care of the one world tr te inhabit. tb io I feel very much as my father felt one a day when we were going to the country mill sa to get a grist ground, and I, a boy ot seven re re years, sat in the back part of the wagon, anid w our yoke of oxen ran away with us, and ilt an- along a labyrinthine road through the ol woods, so that I thougbt every moment we it )US would be dnshed to pieces, and I made a ni terrible outcry of fright, and my father ri ed. turned to me with a face perfectly calm and w ei-d: "De Witt, what are you crying about? s; La- I guess we ean rile as fast as the oxen can a nun." And, my hearers, why should we be 5 OW afftrighted and lose our equllibrium in the swift movement of worldly events, especially it when we are assured that it is not a yoke of p unbroken steers that ara drawing us on, but that order and wise government are in the t( yoke'? In your occupation, your mission, your sphere, do the best you can and then trust A to God, and if things are all mixed and dis quleties and your brain is hot and your heart slek get some one to go out with you a into the starlight and point out to you the i Pleiades, or, b tter than that, get into some alex observatory, and through the telescope see -is farther than Amosr with the naked eye could say -namely, 200 stars in the Plelades, and that a lor, in what is called the sword of Orion there is t a nebula computed:l to be two trillion two a . hunlred thousand billion of times larger I than the sun. Oh, bh at peace with the Oo:l a who mnal that andt controls all that, the I wheel of thu constellatlons turning in the I wheel of galaxies for thuesands of years without thobreaking of a cog.or the slipping 1 or a iand, or the snap of an axle.

The case 'le"' ri. came from the Lawrence Circuit Court. In lby i he the trial court Adam Johnson sued Thomas phou of heath, a saloon keeper, for damages sus- of t us lained by the loss of his son. The boy had ire become intoxicated by liquor sold by Bosth. of w ,rk The court held that the saloon keeper is re. man ot sponsible although the liquor was sold by a bartender employed by him. The court per C ly held further that it is not necessary that the he father in pleading the loss of support by such death of his son should.be reduced to is pecuniary straits.

This monkey, by sheer force of brains, took command of the dogs which protected the camp, and used and directed them just as the Is older baboons command and direct the w, rest of the tribe. By his cries, says Le Vallant, he al ways warned us of the approach oZ an enemy before even the dogs discovered it. They were so accustomed to his voice that they used to go to sleep, and at first I was vexed with them for de serting their duties; but when he-had once given the alarm, they would all stop to watch for his signal, and on the least moion of his eye, or the shaking of his head, I have seen them rush to. ward the quarter where his looks were directed. I often carried him on my hunting expeditions, during which he would amuse himself by climbing trees, in or der to aid us in the pursuit of gatme. When he was thirsty he used to hunt S about and discover some succulent tuber which was as effectual, under the circumstances, as watermelon. One might say that he was not more clever than a truffle-dog; but though the dog s can find a root he cannot dig it up. The baboon did both, having the ad vantage of hands; though he used J these, not to extract the root, but to adjust his weight so as to use the lever - age of his. teeth to the best advantage. is IHe laid hold of the tuft of leaves n with his teeth, pressed his four paws on the earth, on all sides of it, and then s drew his head slowly back. The root generally followed. If this plan did not succeed, he seized s. the root as low down as he could, and n then throwing his heels over his head. AI turned a back somersault and came up f smiling with the root in his mouth. It 't was easy to teach him that It was a 1 part of his business to find these roots, -o and that his master must "go shares." ,t e Hasto Wastes Tinme.
