Warnliiw IVotea CallliiK the Wlekc to Repentance. There are a good many very poo people who have plenty of money If a hair shirt could make saint, the devil would w e a mourning all the time. . The purpose of all education Is to enable us to see' that the world la moving, and show us what It Is moving for. The trials that just about break us are the ones that make us. In most cases we look in the wrong direction for our happiness. The man who fears the light Is al ways running from a shadow. Whatever God's providence gives us to do is something He wants done. The money that does us the most good Is the money with which we do good. Some folks will do anything for th LiO rd except behave themselves at home. When we know that God Is the giver of all good, we shall find good in all Ho gives. Anybody can talk religion, but it takes a true follower of Christ to show what It Is. God provided for the worst that could happen to man before He breathed Into him the breath of life God believes in good cheer or He would not have made hearty laughter about the wholesomest and healthiest thing In the world. i T 2 THE MIGRATORY SENSE. The migration of birds, unlike the migration of human beings, is a very mysterious thing. Flying, as most of the song-birds do, by night, coming and going in great Hocks, and chang ing their locality for no one reason, but for many, the problem of these "tidal waves" in bird, life is wholly fascinating. D. Lange, in the Atlan tic Monthly in discussing some phases of It, speaks as follows concerning the birds' sense of direction: How do birds find their way? There Is no doubt that they are often guid ed by sight along coasts, lakes, riv ers and valleys, which are plainly vis ible for a great distance from the height at which birds travel. In other cases, old birds which have been over the route lead the way, and the young bird3 follow their calls and their leadership. What wonderful stories these wing ed travelers could tell if they could talk to us! What fascinating teachers of geography they would make for our children! It has, however, been shown lately beyond all reasonable doubt that in adidtion to keen sight, acute hearing, individual experience and race instinct, birds possess what must seem to us a kind of sixth sense, the sense of orientation. I The Harrlman Alaska Expedition j found flocks of murres, which are : sea-birds, flying straight for their J home on a lonely rock island thirty i miles away, through a fog so thick j that everything a hundred yards off i was absolutely hidden from view, j What human brain could guide a ship 1 thirty miles through a dense fog with 1 out a compass? ! Still more conclusive demonstration j of this sense of direction in birds has ! recently been furnished by Prof. John B. Watson. He caught and marked i fifteen sooty terns and noddies on the Dry Tortugas, in the Gulf of Mexico, and took them out to sea. Some of the birds were carried as far as Cape i Halteras, eight hundred and fifty miles north of the Tortugas, before they were set free. The sooty terns and the noddies are southern birds, which seldom range farther north than the southern coast of Florida, and it is not likely that any of those experimented on had ever been farther north; but none the less, thirteen out of fifteen found their way back to the Tortugas Islands. Didn't Know, "Well, Mr. Henpeck, what do you think of this Peary-Cook controver sy?" "I really don't know what to think about it." "Difficult to know what to think, isn't it?"

"As a rule," said the cynic, "one may reckon the number of his true friends on the fingers of one hand." "Well," answered the good-natured person, "anybody who counts up his friendships the same as he does hla money doesn't deserve any more."
