The Wisconsin Red Oak. The Wisconsin red oak has for several years taken high rank In furniture and finishing factories on account of its softness, adaptability to shop work, its lively color and figure. When plain sawed it commands higher prices than any oak, although quarter sawed white oak Is more expensive. According to the Northwestern Lumberman this red oak belt in Wisconsin is not wide, and at the rate the timber is being cut oft it will probably not last more than six or seven years. In the northwestern part of the State, which is not yet op ened up by railroads, there is a heavily timbered area which may contain much red oak, but it will soon be traversed by a railway from Duluth, — ——— ee Torpedo Boats, About 1871, the first torpedo was built by the Thorneycrofts, of London; it was fifty feet long and had a speed of sixteen and a quarter knots an hour, — EE — The Early Birds, It's the early birds that cateh the worm, boat saith the proverb, but what a foolish worm it is to get up so early and be caught, Some of our farmers are the early birds, forth at dawa to catch up, and they catch something else, Tramping through wet grass and stubble on cold, damp, frosty mornings like these, and going thus all day thereafter, brings to scores of them what they were not looking for.

Subject: “An Angelic Rescue.” Text: ‘Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb?"'—Genesis xxil,, 7. Here are Abraham and Isaac, the one a kind, old, gracious, affectionate father, the other a brave, obedient, religious son. From his bronzed appearance you can tell that this son has been much in the flelds, and from his shaggy dress you know that he has been watching the herds. The mount- ain air has painted his cheek rublecund, He is twenty or twenty-five or, as some sup pase, thirty-three years of age, neverthe- leas a boy, considering the length of life to which people lived in those times and the fact that n son never is anything but a boy to a father, I remember that my father used to come into the house when the chil- dren were hdme on some festal occasion and say, “*Where are the boys?" although ‘the boys” were twenty-five and thirty and thirty-five years of age. So this Isaro is only a boy to Abraham, and this father's heart is in him. It is Isaac here and Isanc there, If there is any festivity around the father's tent, Isaac must enjoy it. It is Isaac's walk, and Isaac's apparel, manners, and Isaac's pre prosperity. The father's all wrapped around that bo) again, until nine-tenths { the old m life is in Isaac.

Take my life spare his! Pour out my blood and Isaac for his mother and the world!" But this was an inward struggle. The father controls his feelings and looks into his son's face and says, ‘‘Isane, must I tell you all?” His son l “Yes, father; I thought you had something on your mind. Tellit.” The father said, “My son, Isaac, thou art the lamb!" “Oh,” you say, “why didn’t that young man, if he was twenty or thirty years of age, smite into the dust his infirm father? He could have done it.” Ab, Isane knew by this time that the sceno was typical of a Messiah who was to come, and so he made no struggle, They fell on each other's necks and wailed out the parting. Awful and matchless scone of the wilderness! The rocks echo back the breaking of their hearts, The cry, ‘My son, my son!” The answer, “My father, my father!" Do not compare this, as some people have, to Agamemnon willing to offer up his daughter, Iphigenia, to please the gods, There is nothing comparable to this wonder. ful obedience to the true God, You know that victims for sacrifice were always bound, #0 that they might not struggle away. Raw- lings, the martyr, when he was dying for Christ's sake, sald to the blacksmith who held the manacles, “Fasten those chains tight now, for my flesh may struggle might. ily.” Bo Isaac's arms were fastened. his feet are tied. The old man, mig all his strength, lifts him on to a pi ol wood, Fastening a thong on one side of the altar, be makes it the body of Isaac, and fas- tens the thong at the other side of the altar, and another thong, and another thong There is the lamp flickering in the wind more beautiful As the old through his “How shall 1 somn save ready to beput under the brushwood of the There fs the knife, sharp and keen, Abraham--struggling with his mortal feel. ings on the one side and the commands of God on the other—takes that knife, rubs the flat of it on the palm of his hand, cries for help, comes up to the side of the altar, puts a parting kiss on the brow of his boy, takes a messegos from him for mother and home, and then lifting the glit- tering weapon for the plunge of the deatn stroke—his muscles knitting for the work-—— the hand begins to descend, It falls! Not on the heart of Isaac, but on the arm of God, who arrests the stroke, making the wilderness quaks with the ery, “Abra 1s Abraham, lay not thy hand upon the lad, nor do him any harm!” What is this sound back in the woods? It is a crackling us of tree branches, a bleating and a struggle. Go, Abraham, and what itis, Oh, it was a ram that, going through the woods, has its erooked wr f and entangled in the brushwood and eo not get loose, and Abraham seizes it gladly and quickly unloose ac from the altar, puts the ram on his place, sets the lamp t der the brushwood of the altar, densn smoke of the saor the blood rolls down th and drops hissing into the words, *Behol takes away the sins o ell, what There is Heo says fo fastened yuld nre INS Ar sted with a glo O Josue! 3 re tremendous « s lifted over ried Keen nerve and it this last sacrifice was me, When Calvary “Stop!” and no hand arrested it and tremendous it cut down artery until the biood f the executioners, and aac! the knife thors igh sprayed the faces ita face spectacle, © because it o Isaac iid not endure Mount M he the ave thrown away into annihilation a tt ou. sand worlds than to have saorified His only Son.

Thenextday, at the same hour, she scattered more crumbs of bread amongthem, and so on from year to year until the day of her death. In her will she bequeathed a certain amount of money to keap up the same practice, and now, at the first stroke of the bell at noon the birds begin to coms there, and whea the clock has struck 12 the square is covered with them. How beautifully suggestive! Christ comes out to feed thy soul to-day, The more hungry you feel yourseivesto be the better it ie, It is noon, and the gospel clock strikes 12. Come in flocks!
