It certainly shrunk greatly, especially in passen- ger traffic, but freight traffic has kept up better and of late years has begun to revive. One of the most im- portant changes has just been made this fall in the introduction of a new style of steel barges. The first three in tow of a specially built steamer have just reached New Orleans from St. Louis, and the trip has been so successful that a lfne of these barges will be built. There is food for reflec- tion here for Canadians who are not making all the use they should of their great inland waterwaysâ€"that is the waterways system, aside from the Great Lakes. Once while a man was eating his breakfast on a summer morning he saw a fly stuck fast in the. butter. His first idea was to let it die by the point of his knife, but, being in the main a kindhearted man, better thoughts came to him. and he decided to save its life. So this kind, good man tenderly removed the fly, gently wraped the butter off its little legs, carefully wiped its wings with his table-napkin, and, softly stroking its little back. set it at liberty. That night the fly Woke him. There was a burglar! He was just putting the last of the family silver into his basket preparatory to carrying it away; but when he saw the owner he dropped his plunder end (led through the open window. The fly. which had followed the man downstairs, buzzed triumphantly over the basket, and then settled oonfidingly upon his hand. EASILY EXPLA INED. The Ladyâ€"You’ve been bringing an pretty blue milk Intel). And, looking at it closely, the man by acertaim shiny look that linger- ed yet about its body. knew that it was the same fly that he had rescued from the butter. He had spared its life, and in gratitude it had saved his eilver. NILâ€"The truth 0! the above story in not guaranteed by the Editor. It has frequently been noticed that a plague of insects, as for instance, grasshoppers has often been averted, or destroyed in the nick of time by the breaking out of an epidemic am- ong the insects. The U. S. agricul- tural department has made a study of these epidemics and is now vigor- ously fighting insects by spreading disease among them. Ever since the discoVery of a contagious disease that would decimate the chinch bug popu- lation entomologists have been work- ing industriously along that line and contagion can now be spread among several varieties of harmful insects. A contagious disease similar to lep- rosy has been discovered in the grass- hopper family and experiments war- rant the belief that it can be made most efficacious in freeing the farms of that pest. the republic. The criticism occurs in a deepatch from Pekin, as follows: “All who participated in the puni- tive expedition of Paoting Fu have returned excepting the Germans and French, who remain as a permanent garrison. The provincial. t'reasurer, one general and a colonel, who were found by a court martial responsible (or the slaughter of seventeen Amer- ican and English missionaries, and tor- turing. four others who were rescued alive. were to-day shot, with twenty prominent boxers, with the approval of Field Marshal Count Von Waldor- see. Punishment also was inflicted en route on other notorious boxer strong- holds. In this just punishment for (rightful atrocities on American mis- sionaries and native Christians the United States took no part. Its fit- teen hundred troOps remained in camp here. Now that the cause of party pullthS at home has been served with the sacrifice by the Washington government of the national prestige- in China and the dictates of common justice and humanity, and after the miserable fiasco from following the Russian lead in scuttling out of Pe- king before good government was re- stored America will perhaps join. Germany and England in their pre- sent etl'ective policy of stern punish- ment of the chief officials, and help in establishing order and preserving the integrity of China. Our govern- ment, merchants, and missionaries will, in the future as in the past, he as prompt to claim full participa- tion in all the benefits enjoyed by oth- ers in China. but Americans have thus far shirked their fair share of the burden of securing such benefits and suppressing disorder.” The following very frank comment on the action of the United States an- thorities in regard to their army in China appears not in an English or Canadian paper, but in the New York Herald, one of the greatest papers in the. nonblic.

As far Zacchoua was a politician and a tax-gat-horer.

He looks down and answers ache, and groans, and outgushing tenderness. 'l‘hat night they do not sleep any for talking of all the years wasted, and of that Saviour who ceased not to call. Before morning they had laid their plans [or a new life. Morning comes. Father and mother descend from the bedroom. The children do not know what is the matter. They never saw father with a Bible in his hand before. He says, “Come, chil- dren, I :want you all to sit down while we read and pray." The chil- dren look at each other, and are al- rnoet disposed to laugh; but they see that their parents' are in deep earn- est. It is e short chapter that the father reeds. He is a good reader at other timu; but not he deal not get Now the husband is distressed and annoyed and almost vexed. If she would only speak to him, he; would “blow her up.” He does not like to say anything about it, but he knows that she has a hope that he has not, and a peace that he has not; and he knows that, dying as he now is, he cannot go to the same place. He cannot stand it any longer. Some Sunday night, as they sit in church, side by side, the floods of the soul break forth. He wants to pray. but does not know how. He hides his face. lest some of his worldly friends see him; but God's Spirit arouses him. melts him. overwhelms him. »And they go homeâ€"husband and wife-in silence, until they get to their room. when he cries out, “Oh. pray for me!" And they kneel down, They cannot speak. Now suppose Christ should come in- to your house. First the wife and the mother would feel his presence. Religion almost always begins there. It is easier for women :to. become Christians than for us men. They do not tight so against God. If woman tempted man originally away from holiness. now she tempts him back. She may “01. make any fuss about it, but, somehow, everybody in the house knows that there is achange in the wife and mother. She chides the children more gently. Her face some- times lights up with an unearthly glow. She goes into some unoccupi- ed noom for a little while, and her husband goes not after her, nor asks’her why she was there. He knows without asking that she has been praying. The husband notices that her face is brighter than on the day when, years ago, they steed at. the marriage-altar, and he knows that Jesus has been putting upon her brow awreath sweeter than the orangeâ€"blossoms. She puts the child- ren to bed, not satisfied with the formal prayer that they once offered but she lingers now, and tell:. them at Jesus who blessed little children, and of the good place where) they all hope to be at last. And then she kisses them good-night with some- thing that the cihld feels be be a heavenly benedictionâ€"a something that shall hold on to the boy after he has beeome aman forty or fifty years of age; for there is something in a good, loving Christian mother’s kiss that fifty years cannot wipe off the cheek. companied his surrender. to Christ with the restoration of property that did not belong to him. He says, “If I have taken anything by false accu- sation, I restore fourfold." That is, if I have taxed any man for ten thou- sand dollars, when he had only five thou-sand dollars of property, and put in my pocket the tax for the lastfive thousand, I will restore to him four- fold. If I took from him ten dollars, I will give him forty dollars. If I took from him forty dollars, I will give him one hundred and sixty dollars. Exodus 1:21.; “If 3. mm shall steal an ox or a sheep, and kiilll it or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blend be shed for him. If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him, for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing. then he shall be sold for his theft. 1f the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall restore double. If a man shall cause afield or vine- yard to beaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man’s field, of the best of his own field, and of the best! of his own vineyard shall he make restitution.” You say, "I cannot make restitu- tion. The parties whom I swindled are gone.” Then I say. “Take the money up to the American Bible Society and consecrate it to God.” ZACCHEUS WAS WISE when he disgorged his unrighieous gains, and it was his first. step in the right direction. Msnchuris being about 800 miles one way and 500 the other, it is no wonder the Russian bear denies having swallowed it at the first gulp.

During the day, the soldiers drilled, and at night they all went to their tents. So, to-night, I look on this aug- ust assembly as agreat army. We have been drilling to-day. Now we are about to break ranks, and to go, each one to his family te-nt. May the An- gel of the Covenant spread his wings over each one of those tents! God bless you and your children! Before ten o’clock to-night, build'your altar. kTake the family Bible lying on the parlour-table. Call together as many of your family as may be awake. Read a chapter, and then if you can think of nothing else besides the Lord‘s Prayer, say that. That will do. Heav- en will have begun in your house. You can put your head on your pillow, feeling that, whether you wake up in this world or the next, all is well. In that great, ponderous Book of the Judgment, where is recorded all the important events of the earth, you will read at last the statement that this was the day when salvation came into your house. KIPLING TO WRITE Ulr‘ PUSSY’S PURR. One of Kipling’s new “Just-So" Stories, which he is now writing for The Ladies’ Home Journal, will tell "How Pussy Got Her Parr." In the same humorous vein the famous au- thor will tell of another feline pecu- liarity; “How the Tiger Got His Stripes." Kipling loves to write about animals, and to interest chil- dren in his stories; but fond as he is at children he will not write “down" to them. He despises the “twaddle” which till: .0 may books intended for their entertainment. and keeps ter- any trom it in everything he does with his pen; consequently his stories interest men and women as well u delight children. ‘ onnruch.

They do not know that they must. It is some time before they all get down. The sentences are broken. The phrases are a little un- grammatical. 'Ihe prayer begins abruptly and ends abruptly; but, as far as I can understand what they -mean, it is about. this; “0 Saviour! help us. We do not know how to pray. Teach us. We cannot live any longer in the -way we have been living. \Ve start toliiay for heaven. Help us to take these children along with us. Forgive me for all the past. Strengthen us for all the future.

Many people are under the delusion that Annie Laurie was more- ly a. figment of the poet’s brainibut this was not so. She was the daugh- ter at Sir Robert Laurie and was born in Maxwelton house, which stands on the “bracs” immortalized in the song. Her birth is thus set down in the Barjorg MS; “At the pleasure of the Almighty God, my daughter. Anna Laurie. was born up- on the IBM: day of December, 1682 years, about 6 c'clock in the morning. and was baptized by Mr. George, min- Lster of Glencairn." Maxweltom house is still full of memories of this Winsome girl, and in the long drzhving-room there still hangs her portrait. Her lover and author of the original song was young Douglas of Fizngland. but in the se- quel she gave her hand to a prosaic countrywlaird, her cousin. Alexander Ferguson. They lived at Craigdarroch house ,five miles from Maxwe ton, and when she died Annie was buried in the beautiful glen of the Cairn. That night there is a rap at the bedroom (1001'. “Who is there 2" cries the father. It is the oldest child. “W’hat is the matter? Are you sick i” “No; I want to be saved." Only a little while, and all the children are brought into the kingdom of God. And there is great joy in the house. If you looked out of your window and saw me going up your front steps, you would not wait, but go your- self to open the door. Will you keep Jesus standing on the outside, his locks wet with the dews of the night? This day is salvation come to thy house.
