On a bright summer morning, when the sob cornea oat and shines upon the spider's web, bedecked with dew, the goesamer structure seems bright enough for a suspension bridge for supernatural beings to croes on. But alas for the poor fly, which, la the latter part of that very day, ventures on it, and is eaught and dungeoned and destroyed. The fly was informed that it was a free bridge, and would cost nothing, but at the other end of the bridge the toll paid was its own lif& The next day there comes a strong wind, and •way goes the web, and the marauding spider and the victimised fly. Bo dolicate are the silken threads of the spider's web that many thousands of them are put together before they become viaibls to tbe human eye, and It takes 4,000,000 of them to make a thread as large as the human hair. Host cruel as well aa most ingenious is tbe spider. A prisoner in the Bastile, France, had one ro trained that at the eound of a Tiolin it every day came for its meal of flies. Job, the author of my text, and the leading scientist of his day, had no doubt watched the voracious process of tftis one insect with another, and saw spider and fly swept down with the earns broom, or scattered by tbe same wind. Alas, that the world has so many designing spiders and victimized flies.

The operation Is-sufficiently simple la the hands of a cool surgeon. The patient is placed upon hla back, with n pillow placed under the neck, and ansestbetlaed. A fold of skin is raised and tran fixed with a knife, and a wound from one to two Inches lu length U thus made in the oeotral line of the neck from the prominent portion of the larynx toward the upper portion or the breast plate. The knife is then laid aside, nnd with a small pair of forceps the soft parts are slowly tore asunder until the windpipe Is reached. The bleeding, which is generally most feared, can be entirely obviated by tearing through the soft parts after the skin has been divided.

There is no question that the parable here spoken by our Lord is the reproduction of Isaiah v, 1-7. For the statement is altogether unqualified. "The vineyard of the Lord of HotiU is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant, Isaiah v, 7. And again we read, "Yet I had planted thee a noble vine," Jeremiah U, 21. And we can trace each event described in this verse. Doubtless the planting took place at Horeb. Read Exodus xix, 4-0. Israel was chosen before this. But their visible taking out from the nations took place then and there. There the planting took place. And the setting of the hedge about tbem, what was this but the enactment of the statutes and ordinances shutting them in from the nations about them. And the wine press and the tower, what are these but completed arrangements for their efficiency and safety as the vineyard of the Lord. Now, there was a purpose In all this. And that purpose waa the receiving of the fruits of the vineyard. And here comes in the letting out to husbandmen and the departure of the owner into another country as perfectly natural incidents of the parable. And so Israel stands before us, let out to or put into the hands of the rulers, who ware appointed of God to oonduct its affairs as really as husbandmen do those at a vineyard. rt.it 7I »n &XTD FirilF-: l» tha lcW i? jourvrt of tho country ra the front A.h4« r-tr«Dn KrrDc.hl?car mov«oiy\ It h«Uevo» Um* ho Junior traffic «»it ex'.ctn to-i!ay in t.ho l/nlte4 JtatMin tiieeueuiT of toofiy, a lraltlul «n:«t r fiiruptlon 111 polities. »ha Kl» ot atDanliD, % -titnal nfcrtme, sod, with it* »vowCxl curu.x,o of Milne to corrupt it control elections tad 1- fi-'A- Iqzl in a menu*1.* to tlic public weiiara fuiii **- ;-r\ e» the condemnation of all uoou luca. la Orl«r, nil who wwli to have In tbttt tome* a HKW .l APKtt M laiioual Lcopo, broad vlewa, olean pagoa ut nurruromu, vot kmrtlr, utterances on all que*- Ions ot eunoral punlio interest will DM b* .sappolntcii in the Mail akd KxroJM, an* ■C rejpcctiaUy loilcit tuolr inttnanm aa* au^- rnfcnTPTioN ri 4TM.-WI«*LT.

I sometimes ask myself If it would not be better for men making wills to bequeath the property directly to the executors and officers of the court, and appoint the widows and orphans a committee to see that the former got all that did not belong to them. The simple fact is that there are a large number of men sailing yachts and driving fast horses, and members of expensive «lub houses and controlling countrv seats who are not worth a dollar If they return to others tkeir just rights. Under some sudden reverse they fail, and with afflicted air seem to retire from the world, and seem almost ready for monastic life, when in two or three years they bloesom out again, having compromised with their creditors, that is, paid them nothing bat regrets, and the only difference between the second chapter of prosperity and the first is that their pictures are Mnriilos instead of ICensetts, and their horses go a mile in twenty seconds less than their predecessors, and instead of one country seat they have three. I have watched and have noticed that nine out of ten of thoee who fail in what is called high life, have more means after than before the failure, and in many of the casss failure is only a stratagem to eecape the payment of honest debts and put the world off the track while they practice a large swindle. There is something woefully wrong in the fact thjit these things are possibleAn Indian urn about the size and shape of a cocoanut was exhumed on Benjamin Lapton's farm near Bridgeton, N. J.

Indian remains and arrows have been found there, and it is supposed to be an Indian camp ground. I would, adviso any father who has sons grown up, nncl is looking about to locate them, to pass by tho wholesale houses and put the young men into retail business. A boy who is intelligent can go into a retail giocery and in a few years he will be nblo to run "one of his own. The clerk or salesman In a wholesalo house docs not get the education that would fit him to ruu n store, yet tho retail clerk con, with very little training, fill a place In a wholesale house. Tho chance of making a success of lite is better in retail business. A man who is worth $2,000 a year to a wholesale house, is certainly worth more than that to himself. Any industrious, lionest young man ought to save up enough in five years out of his wages as a grocer's clerk to stnrt In business for himself In a small wuy, and nothing is to hinder him from becoming a wholesale dealer himself in time.—Globe- Democrat.

The ruling spirit of enmity within comes to a climax here. The Son of the Lord of the vineyard is Mat last of all, and him they cast out and kill. Of coarse the doubt as to how he would be received applies only to the earthly side of the parable. The owner of this vineyard did not know. But we cannot carry this over to its spiritual side, or to that which the parable represents. Here all is clear in the certainty of knowledge as to the treatment he would receive. In the councils of the Godhead be was "The Iamb Slain from the foundation of the world." Rev. xii, 8. And as the shadows of the cross darkened about hiia, bs said: "Now is By soul troubled. And what shall I say I Father, save me from this hoar. Bnt for this eanss came I to this hour." John xii, ST. And yet this oertainty of the fact of his rejection and death at their hands did not affect to the shadow of a hair the vohintarinem of their action in rejecting and crucifying him. "By wicked hands ye have crucified and slain" him, was the charge of the apostle against them under the direct teaching of the Spirit And the asseocn of their wickedness wss, "They bated me without a cause," John xv, 85. And there was no doak for that sin. Some weeks ago I «aw Marion D. Lytlo, an adventurous nephew of Gen. Wm. H. Ly tie, whose poetic fame rests on the authorship of "I am Dying, Egypt, Dying." Young Lytla was quoted aa denying the sensational story that the poem was written the night before the general's death under a presentiment that the author would fall in battle the next day. Dr. Carlisle Torry, of Columbus, Ga., saw the paragraph, and wrote to young Lytle concerning it. It appears that Dr. Terry was chief surgeon of Wither'! division in the Confederate army, and was engaged in the battle of Chickamauga, where Gen. Lytle waa killed. He says Gen. Lytle waa the only mounted officer In sight aa the Confederates advanced, and that he saw the general, nnder heavy fire, look down at his foot as he received the first of his four wounds, and then fall dead with three more wounds, any oae of which waa fatal A solitary aide remained with drawn sword by the body, and as Gen. West and Dr. Terry rode up, told them who the dead officer was, and asked that his body be protected. The aide emptied Lytie'i pockets, and Gen. West sent all his effects to bis sister. The aide said: "Gen. Lytle left his watch in camp, expecting to be killed today."

Artificial Babies. PEOPLE'S STORE. Comer Bast Market and Washington First of all, I eharge the blame on earslan, indifferent bank directors and boards having in charge great financial institutions. It ought not to be possible for a president or aashier or prominent offioer of a banking Institution to swindle it year after year without detection. I will undertake to say that if tin— frauds are carried on for two or three years without detection, either the directors are partners in the infamy and pocketed part of the theft, or they are guilty ef a culpable neglect of duty, for which God will bold them as responsible as he holds the acknowledged defrauders. What right have prominent business men to allow their names to be published as directors in a financial Institution, so that unsophisticated people are thereby induced to deposit their money in or buy the scrip thereof, when they, the published directors, are doing nothing for the safety of the Institution. It Is a case of deception most reprehensible. Many people with • surplus of money, not nseded for immediate oae, although it may be a little further on indispensable, are without friends competent •o advise them, and they are guided solely by the character of the men whose names are associated with the institution. When the crash came, and with the overthrow of the banks went the small earnings and limited fortunes of widows and orphafts, and the helplessly aged, the directors stood with idiotic stare, and to the Inquiry of the frenzied depositors and stockholders who had lost their all, and to the arraignment of an indignant public had nothing to say except: "We thought it was all right. We did not know there was anything wrong going on." It was their duty to know. They stood in a position which deluded the people with the idea that they were carefully obeervant. Calling themselves directors, they did not. direct They had opportunity of auditing Accounts and inspecting the books. No time to do sol Then they had no business to accept the position. It seems to be the pride of some monied nan to bo directors in a great many institutions, d all they know is whether or not they get their dividends regularly, and their names are used as deooy ducks to bring others near enough to be made gameof. What, first ml all, is needed is that'flve thousand bank directors and insurance company directors resign or attend to their business as directors. The business world will be full of fraud just a* long as fraud is so easy. When you arrest the president and secretary of a bank for an ombesdstnent carried on for many years, have plenty of sheriffs out the some day to arrcst all the directors. They are guilty either of neglect or complicity.

Price of BooT Is Parle. WILKES-BARRE, PA. A curious phenomenon is now taking place in this country. The price of cattle on the hoof is falling, and at the same time a marked increase fc noticeable in that of dressed meats In othsr words, French breeders are forced to sell their cattle at lower prices than they oould get a year or two ago, while never before has the cost of veal, beef and mutton been greater to thoee of us who consume such articles of food. Here in Paris and all the other large cities of France people are grumbling at the increase of butchers' bills, and farmers all over the country are complaining that it no longer pays to raise cattle for the markets. Never since 1870 has the price of oxen, calves sod sheep been so low as now, and In some cattle raising districts, notably in the eastern departments, the decrease is quite 60 per cent.

Now, in view of ths facts of this treatment, our Lord's question here is most natural and pointed. And to it there cooH be but one answer, and this the chief priests and Pharisees gave at onoe. And in it there are two truths very clearly stated: B. K. Jamison, one of the wealthy men ot Philadelphia, was a few years ago a poor messenger boy In a Quaker City banki ng firm. One day he went to the head of the firm and said he wanted his salary raised. Tbe great man was astonished at the boy's assurance.

The "penny" was a small silver coin, about the size of a sixpence, though rather thicker. The "image and superscription" of Ctesar were plainly visible, though somewhat irregular and worn.
