Convincing Evidence. In the Afghan war of 1878 some Brit- {sh forces under the late Sir Montagu Gregory came upon the only 8ikh tem- ple in Afghanistan and heard the story of the laying of its corner-stone from a member of the gallant warrior tribe. A Sikh who had saved the life of the Ameer then reigning had received per- mission to erect a shrine. One of the native prophets was invited to be pres- ent at the laying of the corner-stone of the building; but, being unable to ac- cept, he sent four bricks, one for each corner of the temple, and the message, "I will be with you in the spirit." To make assurance doubly sure the prophet explained that by the sound of the rushing of horses through the air the people on the scene might time the arrival of himself and his disciples "Did you hear them?" inquired Sir Montague at this point of the Sikh's recital, "No, but I saw the hricks replied the native, with perfect composure. erect prin man had entered so quietly that | tle of Chamberlain's Congh Remedy fact that in no year in the history of | lis pi gant taste and prompt only knew of his presence when he | saves herself a greal amount of an the poor law has the population of the | cures have made Chambe rlaiy 'a E came and bent over her chair.

"What epistle did you read?" asked the doctor. "From Romans to Hebrews," answer: ed the old lady.

The viands must be well chosen and eaten slowly, met devoured, then well turmed over . the er a he. til with ease and comfort they are per- fectly digested and furnish nutriment to the bralm. Most students study without thought, which is like eating without digésting. Others read merely as a fad and soon forget all they may have I¥irned. The most satisfactory methed of study is the digestive. It is the thor- ough one--the one that gives strength to the brain. Take the subject you are studying. Read a few lines or a few pages, as the case may be, then put the bo x down and think on what you bave read. Turn it about in your mind from every standpoint. Do not accept it immediately. Argue for and against it in your mind. In other words, masti- cate it. You need not be at your leisure . to do this. Do it in your walks, in your idle moments, at any time. - When you have satisfied yourself on the subject go on with a little more In the same way.
