s : it ; i - : ; US PHOTOGRAPHING ANIMALS. $oms Dangars th Man , Behind th , ' Cimin Encounter. , Today the ' camera penetrates everywhere, and sometimes its use is attended with considerable dan : gcr and difficulty. Nowhere is this 'more pronounced than when the camera is brought into use in tak ing lifelike pictures of wild ani mals in captivity. ,.; How hazardous this may be is 6hown by the following incident, which happened not long ago at a ,big zoological garden abroad: A fine white leopard had been added to ' the collection, and as soon as it ap peared to have settled down the au- : thorities decided to have it photo graphed. It seemed to be a fairly quiet creature nervous and timid, "to be sure, but without any sign of temper' W hen the keeper entered its cnge it had taken little notice of him be yond the usual spitting and hissing natural to it's kind. The photogra pher therefore followed the keeper into its cage without apprehension of trouble. He set up his apparatus, adjusted it, took several pictures of the leopard, and all seemed satisfactory. As he shut up his camera, however, the operator chanced to shuffle his feet once or twice on the floor of the cage. Like a streak of lightning the leopard, with an ominous snarl, leaped at him, and before Le could move the animal was gripping his ankle with his forepaws and fu riously biting at his foot. Luckily the keeper and some assistants suc ceeded in beating off the beast in time to save the photographer's life, but it was a narrow squeak. At the same zoo some time after when an attempt was made to pho tograph one of the llama9 an ani mal generally considered to be a fairly docile creature, with nothing particularly objectionable about it beyond its habit of spitting the photographer's "subject" revealed its true nature by suddenly making . a dash for camera and operator, and before the latter could be rescued he was the recipient of innumerable scratches, cuts and bruises which took 6ome weeks to heal. It is an open question whether seals and sea lions are vicious or not. They are certainly extremely curious and anxious to find out ' things for themselves, and a pho tographer who tried to take a pic ture of a troupe of performing sea lions had an experience worth re cording. lie erected his tripod and camera and was about to make the exposure when one of the sea lions wriggled off his pedestal and made straight for tho camera. It was all done so quickly that before the photogra pher realized it the camera was up set and the sea lion was biting the man's legs and feet pretty sharply. The trainer got him away, and no serious harm was done, but he ex- Elained to the camera man that sea ons often did a little biting just to find out what aq object was made 'ftmsQ'o -Weekly. Clancy's Employer. Benjamin F. Butler of Massachu setts was a tireless worker when he started on anything, ne and his secretary, Clancy, says the Balti more Sun, oftentimes Bat in the li brary until almost daylight when the general wanted to finish up any thing. During the night sessions of the senate toward a close of congress a senator called on General Butler one morning at 3 o'clock. The same senator called again when the senate adjourned the following morning at daybrer.k and found the general and Clancy still at work. "Don't you ever stop?" the sen ator asked. "No," General Butler said. "Sa tan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do." "General, I never knew before just who my employer was," Clancy said, bowing. Placing th Blame.

Their Live Seem to Ba Governed by T4teir Superstitions V Malays will' resort to any and every conceivable pretext to avoid fayijg money on Friday. They br ieve that if they pay their debts on this day they will be overtaken by poverty and want Tuesday and Saturday they consider generally unlucky days, and if they shave or cut their nails on-either of these'! days thereafter they will always be in troublo and will perhaps die soon. The Malay never sleeps in the after noon because of the fear that to waste the hours of daylight tends to shorten life. If a Malay finds his clothes to have been bitten by a rat he is sure that it signifies bad luck, and if he can possibly a.Tord it the clothes are given away in the name of charity. There is a species of bird called in the Malay country rowk rowk, which lives in the fields and does not build a nest. It is be lieved that whoever obtains a rowk rowk's nest will become invisible by placing it on his head. Of course the Malays believe there is such a nest hidden away somewhere. The Malavs always abstain from taking food during an eclipse of the sun or the moon and are exceeding ly careful about their baths, so as to prevent the attack of contagious diseases. The crow is a bird of es pecially ill omen to the Malay, and if it is heard cawing near a habita tion it means death to some one of the inmates. In some other parts of the world if an owl alights on or near a house and hoots it is said to mean "death or desolation" the house may be burned or sold for debt or other misfortune. If a black cat crosses the road in front of a Malay he will at once turn bitck and pursue his journey by an other wav. The crossing of the black cat signifies danger involving the loss of life. In some other countries a rabbit crossing the road has the sarao significance. The dis agreeable habit of biting the finger nails is almost unknown among the Malavs. They believe that if in dulged in the habit will surely lead to poverty. It is considered by the Malay to be a very lucky thing to see a pig or a Chinese funeral before the sun rises. Whatever he attempts on this day will be sure to prosper. Dreaming of jumping a brooklet as sures the dreamer that he will die in a short time. Then the faithful Malay dreamer gives alms to the poor and behaves gently and kindly to all about him in an endeavor to pacify the gods and persuade them to lengthen his life. To see a mon key in the morning is an evil omen, and it signifies that the day will be a bad one for trade. All of these omens have palliations, and the wise Malay usually takes each one as a warning of danger or misfortune that may be in part if not wholly avoided. Our Ugly Ancestors. "All our ancestors," said a physi cian, "were pockmarked, and small pox was a recommendation if you were looking for wajk. "Whar I nTentf Is that you ctruli, not get a job if you had not had smallpox. No one wanted a serv ant who was liable at any moment to be stricken down with the loath some disease; hence" he opened a newspaper volume of 1774 "hence 'help wanted' ads. read like this: "'Wanted. A man between twenty and thirty years of age to be footman and underbutlcr in a great family. He must have had the smallpox in the natural way; also a woman, middle aged, to wait upon u young lady of great fortune and passion. The woman must have had the smallpox in the natural way.' " A Filtering Medium. Absorbent cotton is highly rec ommended as a filtering medium. It acts rapidly and is therefore of great value in filtering volatile ele ments. For ordinary household use it is specially recommended be cause of its inexpensiveness and case of management. A large fun nel must be provided, and the cot ton is pressed more or less, firmly into the neck, according to the sub stance to be passed through. Some liquids are much more difficult to manage than others, and this must of course be allowed for. A little practice will show the housewife just how closely the cotton must be packed to insure succe? in filtering the various liquids with which she has to deal. Reversed. The foreign visitors to China had asked to see a native execution, and the governor of tho province for n consideration had consented to oblige them. "Have mercy, your highness," wailed the wretched criminals as they cringed before the governor. "Have we no chance?" "None whatever," responded his highness cheerfully. "Its a case of 'taels I win, heads you lose.' " Bohemian. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson VIII, First Quarter, For - , Feb. 23, 1908. , THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John v, Memory Verses, ft, 9 Golden Text, Matt, vlii, 17 Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Copyright, 1907, br American Pnm Aisoeiattoa, The Lord bad appointed feasts for Israel in which they might draw near to Ulm and in which He might special ly reveal Himself to them and bless them. A full record of these Is found In Lev. ixlii. These feasts hud be come feasts of the Jews rather than feasts of the Lord (John 11. 13: v. 1; vL 4; vli, 2), in which they relied upon their outward devotion to Hlui rather than on His undeserved mercy; hence Ills saylug. "Go ye und learn what that meancth. I will have mercy und not sacrifice" (Matt is. 13; xii. "i. Ue caine to bestow the mercy of God. not to demand sacrifices from them as if they must pay Him for ull He did for theiu. We are all us helpless In the matter of salvation or of service us was the sick and dying boy in last week's lesson to obtain health or his father to give it to him. Here In this lesson Is another Illustration. There Is a pool whose waters at certain sea sons are troubles by an r.ujrel and be come possessed of healing properties which are exhausted by the first dis eased one who steps In. About this pool lay a great multitude of Impotent folk waiting for the moving of the wa ter. They are a constantly disappoint ed crowd, for only one of the niultP tude can le healed. The uext must all wait for the next scramble. uuJ only the least helpless stands any chance whatever, and a wholly impoteut per son hud no chance at all of obtaining bealth from that pool. The condition af the impotent represents the condi tion of all by nature, without strength, ungodly, siuners. enemies (Horn, v, 6-10), but what is represented by the pool, by which some one with a slight ailment wus healed, is not quite so clear, for there is only one way of snl vatlon, and lie Is a Saviour for sin ners, not for righteous people who think they can do for themselves. Je sus came to these porches by that pool one day and saw there a truly Impo tent man whose trouble had already lasted him thirty-eight years. Notic ing how matters stood, He said to him. "Wilt thou be made whole?" The man's reply, "Sir, I have no man to put me Into the pool," shows his help lessness. All he could think of was the pool and a man to put him iu. The pool be could see, but the man to put him in he had not yet seen, and when there might be a possibility of his be ing healed by that pool who could tell? Yet In his helplessness he continued until this day, when a seemingly ordi nary man asked him this question and then added, "Rise, take up thy bed and walk" (verse 8), a wholly Impos sible thing for him to do, and yet he did It. for immediately he was well and strong and took up his bed and walked. A thirty-eight year trouble gone In a moment! Compare the mir acle wrought upon the man who was over forty years old by the same Jesus risen and ascended through Peter and John (Acts iii, 2, 8; iv, 22). Splendid healings! Why not more of them? But what about all the rest of the jnultltude that day? Sometimes He herilel"ll. ofiqje His own remarks about only one wlati and only one. leper out of the many lit AV. &iyr6f Elijah and Ellsha (Luke iv, 20-27). and so we are dumb while yet we trust Hlni fully and rejoice to elng. "As for God, His way is perfect" r. xvlib. The Jews accused the healed man of breaking the Sabbath. He fell back upon the command of the One who healed him. but be knew not und therefore could not tell who He was until he met Him In the temple and heard another message from Hfm. Then he made It known that Jesus had healed hi in. After this the Jews did persecute Je3us and sought to kill Him because, an they said. He had broken the Sabbath und also made Himself equal with God by calling God His Father. Instead of rejoicing in the great deliverance granted to the im potent man and giving heed to the words of his deliverer they have only hearts for their own affairs, their law, their Sabbath, their authority, and whoever does not submit to them must be broken to pieces. Contrast God's treatment of the One in their midst whom they knew not. "The Fnther loveth the Son. hath com mitted all Judgment unto the Son, showotb Him all things that Himself doeth" (verses 20. 22). They were pro fessing to honor a God of their own imagination, not the God who Jrougbt them out of Egypt into the land of promise, for He was in their midst, but they were so blinded by their pride nnd' self righteousness that they could not see Hlni. Contrast Ills humility and emptiness with their pride: "I can of mine own w!f do nothing. I seek not rolue own will" (verse 30). See bow He looks onward to tho resurrection of Just and unjust at the beginning nnd end of the coming hour (verses 23, 29), the pres ent ago being the hour when those who ere dead In sin may bear Ills voice and live (verses 25. 20). He cau wait and be patient with the foolish ones who know IHm not, for tho king dom is Ills and all power In heaven and earth, and In due time it shall be seen by all that God hath made Him Lord and Christ He Is the Fountain of Living Water, and pools are not nee essary (Jer.
