When prayer is the outgoing of the thoughts in aspira- tion, in contemplation of that which is high and noble, a reaching after that which surpasses the flesh and the pre- sent, a recognition of things infinite and divine, its efficacy is seen in the outer life. prayer. No one has accused him of hypocrisy; but everywhere, in every creed and in none, we join in the prayer he taught us. There is a seeming contradiction about this whole matter of prayer. Men at- ways have prayed; they pray in every religion; honest, openâ€"eyed men of bust- ness and affairs, free from delusions or superstition, pray to-day. Yet we know full well that. natural laws cannot be THE PO‘WER OF PRAYER is not. in bringing heaven down, but in lifting man up. It. becomes a Jacob’s ladder on which the soul ascends to heaven instead of lying prostrate at its feet. It serves to remind us, when we would be engrossed with the things that are but temporal, that there are things eternal. it is the inner life breathing and eating. Prayer is 'the directing of the life toâ€" ward what is best. It is like the corres- pondence we maintain with a dear friend, not because we would obtain favors from that. friend, but because our hearts are hungry for friendship. So is the heart of man hungry for that which lies beyond bricks and business, for that. which age cannot whither and death cannot affect. If we live only for the bread that per- ishes and for the things that are seen, how soon we become of these things, the heart turns to clay, and the heavenly light dies from the yes. But to live to- pr'ay that this night never might fall darkness would set in just the same. "there are even more serious difficul- ties about prayer than the natural ones. Can we conceive that a great Father, INFINITELY \VISE AND GOOD, waits for his children to petition him to take care of them, waits for us. to pester hirr into doing good?

In view of the fuss made ove r the birth of a baby giraffe at the “Zoo,” it sounds strange to say that. that institu- tion once furnished half Europe with British-bred specimens of the animal in question. Yet such is the fact. The first giraffe ever seen in England was a. present to George. the Fourth, and died in the King‘s monageric at Windsor. The sen- sation ifs advent caused roused the Zoo- logical Society to action, and in 1836 they imported four “camelopards”~as they were then calledâ€"all at one time. Their capture involved a. spefi'flltli expeâ€" dition into the wilds of Ix’ordofan. The total cost. worked out at $1 LOP. i, and loud were the calories over the society’s “reckless extravagance.” But. the bargain was not a bad one, after all From those four giraffo’s sprang Exhale course some forty others, the bulk then being sold at rcmuneralivc rates to for- eign “Zoos.” Altogether more than $2,500,000 worth of baby glraffes were thus disposed of. But what promised to develop into a flourishing l‘fritish industry in a, small way was suddenly cut. short after an ex- tremely tragical fashion. On Noven'ibcr 7th, 1866, the giraffe house in Regent‘s Park was burned down, the bqu of the. giraffc‘s perisung in the conflagral-ion. This was the end, until the other day, of giraffe breeding in Britain, although, of course, stray snecimens have been since imported, and shown to the pub- lic, both in the gardens and in private menagcries. The great. difficulty in rearing these creatures. it may he added, lies in their extreme timidity. They are also very stupid, the net result being.' that if a young giraffe, unversed in the. ways of nicnageries. can by any possibility dis- cover a' chance to injure itself, it takes immediate advantage of it. I ’w MAKES THE DEAF HEAR. W Remarkable Demonstration By a paris Physician. A striking demonstration of what modern science can do was given last week at the Academy of Medicine, Paris, France, when, in the presence of a lum- dred physicans and surgeons, a girl of twenty, who two months ago was b4,- lieved to be. an incurable deaf mute, sang a solo, and later answered ques- tions asked her by doctors in the audi- once. She. is one of four pupils of Dr, Mar- age. and exhibits in her accomplish- ments the good effects of his new sys- tem of training deaf mates to hear and lr- speak. He uses in his practice a soâ€"callcd “vowel-syrcn,” an instrument commonly used by Paris DI'OIQSEOI'S of acoustics to amplify the volume of the. human voice. According to Dr .Maragc cases of ab. solute deafness are exceedingly rare. By use of the vowel-syren he says the rudimentary faculty of his patients is rapidly developed. and at the same time they learn to imitate sounds, and thus become able to speak. “\‘x’halevcr his degree of deafness.” said Dr. Maragc. “the deaf mute sus- 'ceptible of improvement if he can repeat what he hears. The young girl who sang and spoke has been under treat ment only six weeks." goo-scene fiww'i‘h‘i‘fl 4W - aoemaawrnwafiw SOME DAIN'I‘Y DISIIES.
