The horrors of the Indian mutiny will still be remembered, and the cause which led to it is a matter of history. Cartridges greased with cow's fat were served out to the sepoys, who rcfured to um them on the ground that the cow was a sacred animal. Almost without any warning the terrible massacres followed, which were only avenged at an enormous expenditure of lives and money. The war which deluged Austria and Prussia with blood in 186G emanated in the former failing to answer a question asked by the latter. In the spring of that year the Austrians began to arm very speedily and powerfully, and the Prussians wanted to know the reason. To this they would give no reply, and Prussia, thinking it was an unfriendly and menacing action, brought about the gory campaign. London Tit-Hits.

Chlnet Worship of Anctttori. The one spiritunl force that dominates every class of society in China is ancestor worship. In the Chinese religion there is no other thafc can take its place for a moment. A man may or may not worship idols. He may express his titter skepticism about them or profess belief in them. Xo one cares what ho thinks. Let him, however, neglect the worship of the dead and he is looked upon and pointed to with the bitterest scorn both by his own relations nnd by his neighbors. Thv worst taunt that .the heathen can hurl against tho Christian, and th one that stings him most, is the Bncering statement that he has no

"No, ma'am," replied Tommy after inspecting the picture. "Xot wunt to be an angel, Tommy!" reproached the teacher. "Why;
