his own name; and when he lias occa
sion to speak of .John the liaptist does
it as if there were no other John in ex
istence. So was it with them all. And 1
thus did they at last attain true great
ness in the kingdom of Heaven.” On
the way home from the Mount of
Transfiguration the disciples had a
sharp discussion among themselves as '■
to who should he the greatest.
The Origin of the Discussion. —It may
have arisen (1) from tho fact that tlirce
of their number had been selected by
Jesus for His companions on the mount; -
(2) the keys had been given to l’cter,
and he was to he a foundation stone of
the kingdom (10:18, 19); (3) Judas, as
j tho treasurer, may have had special
I ambitions, as he thought of being chief
■ of the treasury of the Messiah king;
(4) we know that some time after this
the mother of James and John came to
Jesus, asking for her sons the place
Dearest the king (Matt. 20:20, 21); (5)
those who had received special favors
may, possibly, have usurped some au
thority, assumed a dictatorial spirit,
which would naturally be resented by
the others; (6) all this would be in-
I tensified by their expectation that the
kingdom would soon he set up. At
Capernaum Jesus asked them about
their dispute by the way, but the
guilty ones held their peace from
shame. After Peter had returned from
paying tho tribute, "at the same time,”
either these having thought it over, or
tho others, “came unto Jesus, saying:
Who is tho greatest in the kingdom of
Heaven?” Will you settle the question
for us?
! The Childlike Spirit the Way Into the
I Kingdom.—Vs. 2, 3. Mark 9:35, 30. In
answer to their question Jesus gath
i cred the twelve around ilim.and taught
them that they had wholly mistaken
the way to greatness, for "if any man
1 desires’to be first, the same shall be
last of all, and servant of all;” simply
I because the desire to be first Is the ex
-1 net opposite to the spirit which Is the
! law of Christ’s kingdom—the spirit of

more anyone has of the desire to bo
first, the lcsshe belongs to Christ's king- 1 ,
dom. So that the very desire to he first
makes him last by the very nature of
things.
Tho Self-Seeking Spirt leads to Sa
tan’s kingdom, not to Christ’s. It is tho j
Spirit of hell, not of Heaven. It begets J
evils innumerable and sorrows un
speakable. “Fling away ambition; by
that sin fell the angels." “Aut C:esar
nut mullus," “to be first or nothing," j
leads to crimes and wars. It was Mil
ton's Satan who said: “Hotter to reign
in hell than serve in Heaven." “How
like a mounting devil in the heart rules ,
the unreined ambition.”
Hut distinguish between tho strong
desire to improve, to have large use
fulness, to grow in holiness and love;
and the desire to have more honor and
power, or even to bo better t han others.
To do the very best we can in every
thing is our duty. The song: “Oh! to
be nothing,” is right if it means that
we seek nothing for ourselves, but
wrong if it means that we are willing
to be ciphers in (lod’s work.

The Waziri country forms a block of
about 9,000 square miles, backed by the
Suleiman ranges on the west and run
ning tlown our frontier from the Kur
ram valley on the north to llaluehistan
on the south. Of the dozen tribes which
occupy its fastnesses, says the London
Times, the Waziris alone are sufficicnt
ly powerful to require attention. The
Waziris are therzsolves divided into two
clans, the Darwesh and the Muhsud,
between whom rages a chronic feud.
United they could muster perhaps 40,000
fighting men, of whom about a half
have matchlocks, llut the Mahsuds,
although fewer in numbers, are braver,
hungrier and more untamed, and they
are driving the more civilized Darwesh
down from their ancestral glens and
pastures to the shelter of our Uannu
district. On the four or five occasions
on which it has been necessary to send
British punitive forces into the Waziri
hills the Darwesh have shown no com
bined front, and ns they possess scarce
ly any property it lias been diillcult to
inflict any real loss upon them. The \
Indian papers report that, on tlio |
threatened outbreak of hostilities, this
less warlike section of the Waziris
were making a peaceful exodus into
safe quarters within our frontier. The
Mahsuds have always played, and are
now playing, a very different game.
Down to thirty-four years ago they
harried our border villages almost with
impunity. But iu 1800 their audacious
attack on the frontier town of Tank,
with an invading host of 8,000 Maksud
warriors, forced us to try to touch them
a lesson. Within a month of the Tank

lor sueli warfare, when the spring crops
lay ready for destruction or as forage
for uiur transport animals, wo sent a
force of .1,000 troops into their moun
tains. It was the Mahsuds, however,
who taught us u lesson. One nigiit just
l before dawn 3,000 of them surprised
our camp, the bravest of their warriors
rushing through our tents and cutting
down men and animals till they them
selves fell covered with wounds, but
sword in hand. It was a surprise con
ducted almost exactly on the plan of
the night attack on our camp a few
weeks ago, anti with even more success.
In 1801 we lost no fewer than 229 men,
besides numbers of the transport ani
mals, while the Mahsuds left only 12C
corpses behind. "The whole campaign,’'
says Mr. Thorburn, “cost us nearly 40C
men, and admittedly failed in its object
of effecting the submission of the tribe.
As the Mahsuds would not submit and
the expense of maintaining a small
army in their midst was heavy, the
troops were withdrawn.”
During the next twenty years we
kept up a clumsy and intermittent
blockade against the Maksud elans.
But the steadily-growing list of their
outrages compelled ub in 1881 to take
them effectively in hand. A force of
4,000 British troops, now armed with
breech loaders, penetrated into every
part of their hills. Resistance, which
had been possible by the sword and
matchlock against the old muzzle-load
er, was hopeless against our new
weapon. The tribe gave up their load
i era to our general and submitted to his
terms.
Wo have already referred to the moro
recent history of the Waziris. The timo
has come when they must either accept
the peace and order which the Afghan
ameer nn*d the British government aro
jointly determined to irnposu on tho
border land, or they must bo compelled
to do so. Temporizing offers and half
hearted submission can avail them
nothing. Once tboy really mako up
their minds to come into tho new state
of things, thpro are several influences
at work on tho frontier to profit them

EXCAVATING WITH WATER.

\\ ithiu the past ton or twelve years
the uses of hydraulic “monitors” and
“little giants," of California mining
fame, as menus of earth excava
tion have become pretty well appre
ciated among engineers, says Oassier’s
Magazine, and water jets have been
successfully applied to a variety of en
gineering purposes, for which only a
short time previously they would never
have been thought of. Pile driving
with water jets, now so common, Is
only one modification of llq- general
method, while the removal of heavy
; earth banks by these aqueous battering
rams is another which is deservedly
working Its way into favor. What has
led to these rellectlons is a revised ver
sion, recently published, of tin account
of tho removal several years ago of
some river bluffs overhanging tho
tracks of one of the rail
road linos in the western part of the
United States. This was accomplished
almost wholly by the employment of
jets of water uudor high pressure,
bringing the cost of excavation down
to tho low figure of one and one-half
cents per cubic yard. It recalls also a
neat job carried out a few years ago In
the way of Ailing in a large area of
land just under water and bringing ijt
up to a level of several feet above the
water line. Large sand hills rntuud
along tho shore close by those hollaro.
The work got into tho hands of two old
California miners, who applied a modi
fied hydraulic mining ontAt to its exe
cution. They bought a couple of large
pumps, which delivered water from the
hay on the tops of tho sand hills
through an Iron pipe, and then, by
means of a series of boxes and sluice*
they carried the dirt and sand which
the water washed down from the hills
out to the spot to be Ailed. In this way
several ncres of land wore made at aV
expense which was merely mnhinal' 4 1
The pumps nod boiler were practically
worth as much after the work was dOM 3
