Yet the creature who painted it had not succeeded in evading his subject altogether, ample as were his incapacities, and something of the man—the large minded, able, romantic man that 1 had heard of—was In it. I even thought I could see In it qualities I already knew In Miss Fanny, especially the receptivity, the openness to new ideas that made her seem so young and made it possible for her to wage such battle as she had entered upon. she was going. I drew back but of sight. There are some pains that sympathy can only double. through that long task, so little In Itself, so tltauir for her. No stain must rest on the great name her father left behind him. Through more years than I had lived every hour must have been colored to het by this heroic resolution. It had become her reason for living. When she had accomplished thiB end, the shoes or revolution in tier outlook, the withdrawal of the great motive, had been too much; the light that had been sustained so long ceased. Mrs. Martin told me that Mrs. Overman had been restless, had almost ceased to write, for two weeks before her death, although she well. Yes. I knew, I knew how, as with a child, the thought of her great achievement had absorbed her and how she could not be at ease till the sensible testimony of it was In her hand.

The handkerchief props* gates 70 per cent of all colds and infianp* mations of the head, throat and nose, b* declares. It often causes erysipelas to spread, and that influenza reoccurs sen* son after season in epidemical form ifl directly traceable to the use, or abuse, ot the linen handkerchief. Every physician knows the influenai bacillus. It is easily killed, because it cannot live where disinfectants are employed. It will die quickly if its element—water substances—is drained off. The bacilli of cholera, typhus, tet&nos, blood poisoning, etc., even those of tint dreaded plague, are confined in the intestines, in the skin or blood. If a person is known to have one of these diseases we take all possible care to prevent the spread of its microbes to othe* persons. So we now seldom hear of an epidemic of those maladies in American cities. Occasionally newspaper men are serious.

All had witnessed catastrophes and heartbreaking sights and the sad rending of family ties, scenes calculated to arouse the sympathetic emotions, even though one may, by constant association, become professionally indifferent. 24. "Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his It may be well at the beginning of "is lesson to call attention to verse 11, where our Lord said that it was given to the disciples to know "the mysteries of the kingdom," and thjse parables all refer to these "mysterffs." The kingdom of God, or of heaven, is not a mystery, but something very plainly revealed in the Scriptures. Bat that the kingdom then at hand should be postponed and not come till the King's return, at the end of the age, that was a mystery not before revealed. These seven parables describe the nature of events during this interval. We saw in last lesson how the word of God will be treated. In this parable the field is the world, the sower is the Son of Man, and the good seed is not the word, but those who have received the word and thus become children of the kingdom (verses 37, 38). 25. "But while men slept his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way." The enemy is the devil, and the tares are the children of the wicked one (verses 38, 39). In the parable of the ten virgins it is said that they all slumbered and slept (Math. xxv. 5). Jonah, the servant of God, slept while running away from the command of God; Samson, the servant of God, slept in the lap of Delilah. Even on the Mount of Transfiguration Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep (Luke ix, 32). Sleep suggests indifference to things about us. If we are indifferent to the things of the kingdom, we sleep. Topic For the Week Beginalng May ST—Comment by Rev. 8. H. Doyle. Topic.—Have patience.—Hath, rrlii, 21-86. THE PAEABLE. Here is the shortest story told: "I have seen my share of human suffering and heartaches," said a western man, "of blood and mangled limbs and bodies. Some years ago I looked after the police and hospital for my paper in a city that is a railroad center and terminus and which had several large powder mills near -by that appeared to be continually blowing up their workmen. "I have forgotten these pictures of human distress and misery; put them out of my mind, pretty much, all save this one. I was in the receiving hospital when the telephone from the city hall rang up the steward to say that the patrol wagon had gone down to the railroad yard to bring up the body of a man who had been run over by the cars. This was such an ordinary occurrence at the numerous grade crossings in the city that it excited no comment, save that the chief visiting surgeon asked me to wait uatil the case had been examined, and he would then walk up town with me. "You don't need to be personal and Jenkinsy," I hastened to as&ure her, "and you might write to Colonel Lawton for permission to tell about his sorghum presses." I could imagine as I looked at the picture that the judge, If put down alive In the queer room, would make some sort of intelligent effort to comprehend the conditions around him. Christ has recently said, "If thjr brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between-thee and him alone." This leads Peter to ask, "How oft shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him — till seven times?" The Pharisees said three times, and Peter no doubt thought seven was a generous number, but Jesus replied, "I say not unto thee seven times, but until seventy times seven"— that is, no definite number, as three or seven, but always have a spirit of willingness to forgive. This truth Christ then illustrates In the parable of "The Unmerciful Servant," which has been selected for our study. A king calls his servants to account. One owed him 10,000 talents, a great sum, which he could not pay. The king therefore ordered him and his family to be sold to pay the debt. The servant begged bumbly for more time, saying, "Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all." The king, going further even than he asked, generously forgave him. But this servant went out and found one who owed him and brutally demanded what was owed, and in spite of his fellow servant's appeal he refused to have mercy, but had him cast into prison. The king was told. He recalled his pardon and had the unmerciful servant delivered into the hands of the tormentors until he could pay. "If you will Just step over there to Miss Addington's desk, she will talk with you, madam," I heard the managing editor say In tones a little more She bad an air of relief as well as pleasure when she found me one night dressing for a reception. All her Innate love of the decorative and romantic came bubbling forth. "Ah, how becoming that is to youT' she exclaimed. "My father used to say that It was a test of blood and raising for people to dress up—that if there was anything common In them It would come out when they were In their best clothes. And ahall you see any of the gentlemen of your office?" she asked in an elaborately Incidental way, and disappointment was In her face when I said I hardly thought I should. gentle than were usual to him. I looked up from my half finished sentence and saw coming toward me, as if propelled by the wave of the editorial hftqd, a Uttle, shabby, dainty, delicate old lady. Her whits, withered face was charmingly pretty In thote fundamental lines upon which time has least affect. Resentment swelled within me. The managing editor always put It off on me to deal with the piteous feminine —•stents continually trickling In "I know what you mean," she said, "about the new, curt, quick way of writing. I hare noticed it in the papers, only I thought perhaps it was because they couldn't write any other way. But I can try to do It, too. If that la what they like up here in the north. And I'll tell anything about the Law ton plaoe that seems unobjectionable. I'm glad you think he won't dislike It. And now, my dear, I'll take myself away. I am sure you are giving me far too much time, but you can Just tell them, my child, that you dont see one every day up here who knows all about you for three generations. Dear, dear, It does seem too bad to leave you here all by yourself so, and you so young! What would you® grandfather tb— But, then, your grandfather would be very proud of your talents, Adeline, and he was a man who knew that we have to adapt ourselves to circumstances, and I'm sure these—gentlemen all seem veryvery inoffensive." And she overlooked the hardworking, scribbling crowd bent over their desks. Miss Fanny flecked at the frame with her pocket handkerchief, she carried me to one side and the other to see the picture, and she impressively told me the name of the poor soul who painted It. Then she sat herself down in front of it and told me about the Polk and clay campaign lu which Judge Marchbanks and my grandfather had "stumped" the state together, trying politely but fruitlessly to remember as many instances of triumph and adulation for my ancestors as for hers. That both gentlemen were on the losing side in that contest had never occurred to her as dimming their honors. "Where—where did you bury her?" I forced myself to ask. "I was at my wits' end. Miss Addington. Those I might have learned something from about her relatives were out of town, and 1 didn't know which way to turn, but at last I put,her In my own plot, where I shall lie some day myself.

In thU case the poor and ignorant, i the unwashed, are not to blame. It'« perfumed woman of fashion and the i In patent leather boots and a high s collar who act as distributers of ease. was glad to pay her respect." Mi Martin concluded with firm, downr!glD reflections—God bless her! I always remember her as she looked that day, like some quaint little priestess before a shrine. She sat in a chair close against the wall that in the narrow room she might be able to see the picture opposite. Her white hair was crimped a little and drawn softly back in a very good compromise between old styles and new—Miss Fanny was not the person to cling to the old for its own sake—and at her wrists and neck were, of all things, bits of "thread" lace. Hey figure was girlish rather than otherwise and pretty, too, with its nice flat back. But the old black gown made me sorry, because I knew the little woman was not and never would be indifferent to her dress. As she talked away so proudly, so feelingly, of "my father," I wondered what place in memory had all the rest of her long past—the wifehood and widowhood and motherhood, the common, blessed warm Joys and common, crushing griefs that fate had bestowed upon her, and which, good and ill alike, she, so little and tender still, had survived. All seemed to have sunk out of sight, to be burled, and only the first ties to be still active and operative despite time and death. "Dear Miss Fanny, It has never come, up. I don't think any of them ever thought of coming to see me." "It was nearly midnight. In a few minutes the patrol wagon rattled up the silent street, and, as I was comfortably seated before the fire in the steward's room, I didn't rise to go at once into the operating room, an unpleasant, antiseptic smelling place at best. J looked up from my half finlahed tenl tenet, panner, In which, nevertheless, a "Dear me! Well, these northern men are beyond me. I never knew of any gentlemen before who did not think of paying some attention to a charming girl whom they had the privilege of knowlog."

"I soon heard my name called and prepared myself for the usual distressing sight of suffering humanity. "The surgeon stood beside the conch wiping the coal dust from the victim's face with a soft sponge. "There lay the body of a little boy, a bootblack, with the strap of his blacking box still about his shoulders; a poor little boy not over 10 years of age, his white features fast settling in the mold of death, his frail frame a mass of broken bones which the hard car wheels had crushed out of shape. But his face was untouched save by a few scratches, and he looked as if he were asleep; tired and weary from the buffetings and kicks of a world which to him must have known no joys—only pain, hunger, suffering and sorrow. A poor, homeless, parentless, friendless little stranger, God alone knowing from where he had drifted, with not even so much as a penny in his rags; to be borne along by the tide of life, a nameless chip in the eddies, so suddenly and so soon to find a resting place in a pauper's grave miles away from his home, if, indeed, he had ever known such TAKING THE REINS.

"I suppose you have to have your meals according to these New Tork ways, With your dinner In the evenfng, on Miss Amy's account," she said. 27-20. "An enemy hath done this." It is not as fully recognized as it should be that there is an enemy of God and man who is ever resisting God and seeking to turn man from Him. His first recorded utterances are in the line of doubting the word of God and the love of God (Gen. iii, 1, 4). He is a liar and a murderer (John viii, 44), a deceiver and a destroyer and will yet gather his hosts against the Son of God, seeking to overthrow Him (Rev. xix, 10). His end is the lake of fire (Rev. xx, 10). \ The Interpretation of this parable Is easily made if we except one particular which must be borne In mind. The king is God; men are his debtors. None of us can pay what we owe God. God will forgive us only when we are willing to forgive our fellow men who have trespassed against us. The parable does not teach that God gives a pardon and then recalls itrva the king did. Christ simply means to Illustrate that unless we forgive God will not forgive us. The Illustration is human and hence Imperfect, but the one truth taught Is clearly evident THE INTERPRETATION. 8CDuator J. S. O'Brien has bought from Tommy Griffin the 2-year-old colt Wild Pirate for $1,100. "Yes," I replied, "Amy prefers It so." It was a safe assertion, though I bad never heard her express herself on the subject Like the true southerner she was. Miss Fanny never ceased to regard New York as the outside phenomenal thing and the standards of Wexville as the normal and accepted ones, although In bar writing she flexibly enough assumed the other tone. That was mental; the maintenance of ancient standards personally was Inarticulately felt to be a matter of loyalty and character. J. S. Brown, Griffin, Ga., has a 2-yearold by Oratorio, 2:13, that is a great one •nd will be raced as a 3-year-old. She had been left a widow with .two little qhlldren while still a young woman. The children, boys, had both died only Ja few years later, and she had spent most of ber life as a childless widow In her widowed father's house. She was his only child. He had died near the beginning of the war. Most of their property had been lost. Mrs. Overman bad since then made what shift she could, and now in her old age, with a courage rooted in inborn gallantry of soul and also in ignorance of this rough world, she bad come to this strange land, "the north," to try to make her living by writing. Bertina, a 4-year-old, by Directum, that is in Heating's string, recently trotted a mile over the Pleasanton track in 2:17. Up to the week ending on April 14 British agents had shipped from New Orleans 20,900 mules, valued at $1,980,- 875. averaging $95 each. tremor of timidity and anxiety was all too evident Lo, she was a southerner! There was do mistaking that gentle drawl on the vowels and suppression of the consonants. I shall not try to' reproduce the peculiarity of her Bpeech. Tbp written letters cannot convey what it f*U except as you know it already; and they seem to coarsen it. 30. "Let both grow together until the harvest" Verses 39 to 43 explain that the harvest is the end of the age (not the end of the world, as many think, for the word "world" is properly "age") and that at that time the angels shall gather out of the kingdom all that offend and do Id Iqulty and cast them into a furnace of fire, and then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. If anything conld be more plainly stated than that the righteous and the wicked shull continue together in this world till the end of the age, let some one tell bow. Where any one can find authority for belieTing that the world shall be all righteous before the end of the age and the coming of onr Lord I do not know. He said on another occasion that as it was In the days of Noah and in the days of Lot so shall it be when He •hall come (Lnke xvli, 26). The parable speaks of the wicked being gathered out first, and some desire to know how this can agree with the church being caught away first. It is all simplified by the truth of His coming to the air where His saints meet Him (I Thess. iv, 14-18) and then coming to the earth with all his saints (I Thess. iii, 18; Zech. xiv, 5; Jude 14). The age Is to end with great Judgments, which will immediately precede HDs coming in trtory (Math, xxlv, 21, 22. 80, 30), but before this great tribulation He will take His own to Himself, where, with Him, they shall be safely hid in the day of the Lord's anger (Isa. xxvi, 20, 21; Zeph. ii. 8; Rev. Ill, 10). The filly by Searchlight 2:08%—Zela Carter, by Director, 2:17, has been named Record Searcher. The little one Is entered in stakes to the amount of $30,- 000. rs the THE APPLICATION. I reflected that after all she had spent most of her life with her fatber, that it was as his daughter she bad chiefly found pier title to existence, but I did not know at that time the thing that really explained her special devotion to him—the fact that she was then spending herself In bis service, for bis good name. Tbe filial tie was re-enforced now by one yet stronger, by perhaps the firmest of human bonds, that which binds the server to the served, and at last something like a mother's love mingled with tbe daughter's loyal adoration of long dead man. Two practical lessons may be drawn from this parable that will apply and enforce the topic. a place "As the surgeon and I walked up the quiet street that night we did not feel like talking."—Washington Star. fer, « Miss Fanny and I each experienced some good lock about the same time.

The king bore most mercifully and generously with his debtor The Evening Appeal found occasion to send me abroad, and Miss Fanny obtained a little regular work, the superintendence of the correspondents* column on a weekly paper. This brought her in only the most trivial sum, 94 or $5 a week, but it did not take muck How foreign and far away this part of our common country seemed to her probably only a southerner pat) realize. Fundamental Ideas affect many ramifications of feeling as well as thought, and the weakness of the Idea of nationality at the south sharpens many a homesick pang in many a traveler and exile still In bis own country. That Mrs. Overmaff succeeded as well as she did was a continual marvel to me. There was a about the trail, delicate, lady 'bred old woman that made me proud of the civilization—if you will permit the word— that had produced her.

In this parable the present phase of the kingdom, the time of the mystery, Is compajfcd fc» the least of vhlcfc, instead of becoming a great kerb, becomes a great tree, with the birds of the air lodging in the branches. To understand this parable we must remember the two preceding and that this age is not one of outward encouragement to the child of God, Only a part of the seed produces children of God, and only a part of those bear fruit, and among the children of God the children of the devil are many. Now we see a great tree, with birds in the branches. Does this indicate the church flourishing and many flocking to It, cr is it on tne line of the other two parables and to sight discouraging? It seems to be all one discourse, for in verses 34 to 36 we read that when He had spoken these things He sent the multitude away and went into the house with His disciples. In the parable of the sower the birds, or fowls of the air, represented the devil, who catches away the seed. In this parable the church, which is in God's sight a little flock (Luke xii, 32), has become a great worldly thing and has received into it many a Judas and Demas and Balaam. If two or more swarms cluster together, don't put them all in one hive, or valuable queens may be lost. Miu Fanny flecked at the frame with her pocket handkerchief.

Let \?ader explain the parable ai)d thep have an open, voluntary discussion of the topic. Hives should be made so that they can be opened without jarring them. Nothing in more irritating to bees than sudden jars. BIBLE READINGS. The Bishop Williams Window. "It is perfectly safe anywhere In this part of the town," volunteered Miss Boggs, a W8 boned, dust colored young woman reading a calf bound volume at a drop light I hoped to see her make herself a little more comfortable and treat herself to a new gown. But when I sailed she came to see me off in the same overbrushed little outfit of rusty black that she had worn the day I first saw her. Ps. xxxvli, Eccl. vll, 8; Mftth. vl, 12-15; Rvm.

Conn., recently in memory of Bishop John Williams of Connecticut It bears this inscription: "In sacred memory of Most Reverend Presiding Bishop John Williams, D. D., LL. D., S. T.

European RauU.—London Globe. . \ hfl» A number of people visited me at the dock that day, and it has been a bitterly Intruding thought since that I did not give Miss Fanny all the attention that God knows was in my heart for her, and it does not soften that reflection, but brings the keener pang, to remember that she was too much absorbed and delighted by thy momentary syclal importance to have any {bought of herself. Here Is a handy table, furnished by The Christian World, which It would be well to cut out and copy for reference In your Bible studies: A New Use For BaIIoom. Bees moved in the spring seldom go back to their old quarters, for they generally mark their location when they take their first flight, whether they hive been moved or no^. Prypolis is a gum or varnish that bees collect for varnishing over the inside of their hiVes, filling cracks and cementing loose pieces of the hive together and making things fast.— St. Louis Republic.

The town of Givet, In the Ardennes, is taking steps to put an end to the depopulation of France. Hereafter in all town offices first fathers of more than three children and next married men will be preferred to bachelors. Prises of $5 will be awarded yearly to those parents who have sent the largest number of children to school regularly, and scholarships in the national schools will be reserved for families only of more than three children. Fathers of families shall also have the preference for admission to almshouses and\Dld people's homes. "It is a woman's boarding house, dear, a business Woman's bouse," she explained to me as we sat side by side 09 an Immense haircloth sofa in the clean, mournfcl, self respecting parlor.

THE BIG EXPOSITION. Miss Boggs looked at me with curiosity. She had not recognized me as a fragile young southern blossom before. The Paris exposition is not quite but Paris is ready. The people at France, are always ready for the dollar of the unwary traveler.—S'pribgfieid News. 33- This parable of the leaven is generally used to show that the gospel, like leaven, is so working that the whole lump, the world, will soon be leavened or made good, but this is a terrible perversion of Scripture, There Is pot one place in the Bible where leaven thing good. It was excluded from the meat offering (Lev. li, 11), which typified our Lord in His pure and holy life. At Passover time no leaven was to be found in the house of an Israelite (Ex. xii, 19). Our Lord compared the evil teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees to leaven (Math, xvi, 6-12). See also I Cor. v, 6-8; Gal. v, 8, 9. In tw*D cases Israel was commanded to offer leaven with their offerings, but in each ease it was to typify the evil that was in them even as they came to worship God, and it was met by the blood of the sacrifice (Lev. vii, 13; xxiii, 17, 181?Through one of the prophets He said that they thould offer a sacrifice of thangsgiving fcftth leaven, for that was just like them (Amos iv, 5). What are we taught here, then, but that the woman, the church, will so corrupt her food that it shall be wholly corrupted ere the end of the age? How much corrupted it is even now let the topics of Sunday discourses as announced in the papers testify. From a letter received today I quote a sentence: "We have many churches, It is true, but bicycle sermons, political sermons, etc., do not feed us. We would see Jesus." A shekel of silver was about 50 cents. A shekel of gold was $8. A talent of silver was $538.30. A talent of gold was $13,809. A farthing was 3 cents. A piece of sliver, or a penny, was 13 cents. ive I was living here in New York, .vay from everything I'd been used to and starting off now all alone on this voyage, though I was naturally of most shrinking and feminine disposition. Dear Miss Fanny! "Miss Mary Barnwell told me about It before I came on here. You neve* saw Miss Mary, did you? Your mother knew her. She Is a lovely woman. She was Timothy daughter, that endowed the college In WexviUe, and Miss Mary teaches there. She comes on to New York In the summer sometimes, and she stops here. It made me fee} so much more at home to come fq a place I'd heard Mary tell about, and I thipk.lt ts very sheltered and protected to be In a house without geqtlepien when one Is quite alone so." Let me give myself the pleasure 01 saying that I sent my protectress home in a cab, a form of luxury which in the course of our acquaintance I found she particularly appreciated. She never became accustomed to the city- streets. She went about always In a flutter of fear and nervousness, yet she must have done a deal °f |0 get together her little articles and sell them. I saw her down town sometimes, picking her way ftbput among the rushing crowds and oars and trueks, going through the great buildings, with their incoming and outgoing streams of humanity eddying around the rows of elevator doors, and in the grimy newspaper offices, where the air was ferase with silent activities, and as I looked at the quaint figure, the gentle, half frightened, high bred old face, I wondered why she was there. She must have lived some way since the war. Why did she not go Oh pow as she had before and satisfy her ambitions,If she had them, by such ladylike efforts with genteel journals as she bad made in the past, which had brought her much neighborhood consideration and a little money and which did not tear her away from the dingy, dignified, green old home where she was born and the simple, fixed, old time life in which she was surrounded by friendliness, albeit most of the friends wefe gone? Our prediction Is that at the Paris exposition all records will be surpassed in receipts, as they have already beep beaten in the matter of expenditures. And a great proportion of tile total will be American money.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Be Kept the Rln(. A story comes from South Africa which speaks well for the constanay of the Britisa soldier. Among the wounded brought in one day from Potsgister'a drift was a man of scanty clothing who held something in his closed hand. H» had kept his treasure in his hand for,, some eight hours. He showed it to the sister at the hospital. It was a ring. In explanation he said, "My girl gave m« this ring, and when-I was hit I made up my mind the Boers should never get it, so I kept it in my hand ready to swallow it if I was taken before our stretchers could reach me." I did very little letter writing during the eight months I was gone. I heard from Miss Fanny only once, but she was one of those who had urged that 1 spend none of my precious time rep.d" Ing or writing letters, so I was not surprised at her silence. A mite was less than a quarter of a cent. The Saltan's Crimson Sword. The fact that the share of the United States in the I'srls exposition is greater than that of any other country except France appeals to the pride of Americans and may be expected to prove of no small benefit to our commercial interests. —Omaha Bee. An ephah, or bath, contained seven gallons and five pints. Since 1604, when the Persians surrendered Armenia to Turkey, the numerous sultans of Turkey have never sheathed their swords in regard to the former country, save in the flesh of the inhabitants. True, every now and again, when matters are very slow in European politics, some country becomes righteously indignant and a concert of Europe is called and a note sent to the sultan. Still, the fighting goes on, or, rather, the butchering.—New York Telegram. Serlona Thought*. Make time for serious thoughts. Let no day pass without some memory of solemn things. Each morning as you rise remind yourselves that "God spake these words and said." Each evening as you lie down to rest let God's angels close the door of your heart on thoughts of purity and peace. The soul that has never lived face to face with eternity is a vulgar soul. The life that has never learned the high law of holiness is a ruined and a wasted life.—F. W. Farrar. When I came back, I went to the "business woman's boarding bouse" the day after landing to look her up. Amy had Just returned from a four months' absence herself—this was in September—and could give me no news of her. It was a big, old fashioned bouse, and tbe rooms were divided ap Into long and nafrow ones by wooden partitions, and contained two little Iron bedsteads. Tbe Inhabitants of tbe business woman's boarding bouse were united as roommates without reference to anvthln* but a rlsdrtlv Inroerteri respectability all around (surely none but the most respectable of women ever wanted to live there), but each was given a bed Jo fcerselt Miss Fanny found It a Httlo painful to explain these things to me, and A faint red spot came la eaclj withered, delicate old cheek as she said: "It seems a little like what they call an Institution up here, doesn't It?

Yet the creature who painted it had not succeeded in evading his subject altogether, ample as were his incapacities, and something of the man—the large minded, able, romantic man that 1 had heard of—was In it. I even thought I could see In it qualities I already knew In Miss Fanny, especially the receptivity, the openness to new ideas that made her seem so young and made it possible for her to wage such battle as she had entered upon. she was going. I drew back but of sight. There are some pains that sympathy can only double. through that long task, so little In Itself, so tltauir for her. No stain must rest on the great name her father left behind him. Through more years than I had lived every hour must have been colored to het by this heroic resolution. It had become her reason for living. When she had accomplished thiB end, the shoes or revolution in tier outlook, the withdrawal of the great motive, had been too much; the light that had been sustained so long ceased.

Every physician knows the influenai bacillus. It is easily killed, because it cannot live where disinfectants are employed. It will die quickly if its element—water substances—is drained off. The bacilli of cholera, typhus, tet&nos, blood poisoning, etc., even those of tint dreaded plague, are confined in the intestines, in the skin or blood. If a person is known to have one of these diseases we take all possible care to prevent the spread of its microbes to othe* persons.

All had witnessed catastrophes and heartbreaking sights and the sad rending of family ties, scenes calculated to arouse the sympathetic emotions, even though one may, by constant association, become professionally indifferent. 24. "Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his It may be well at the beginning of "is lesson to call attention to verse 11, where our Lord said that it was given to the disciples to know "the mysteries of the kingdom," and thjse parables all refer to these "mysterffs." The kingdom of God, or of heaven, is not a mystery, but something very plainly revealed in the Scriptures. Bat that the kingdom then at hand should be postponed and not come till the King's return, at the end of the age, that was a mystery not before revealed. These seven parables describe the nature of events during this interval. We saw in last lesson how the word of God will be treated. In this parable the field is the world, the sower is the Son of Man, and the good seed is not the word, but those who have received the word and thus become children of the kingdom (verses 37, 38). 25. "But while men slept his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way." The enemy is the devil, and the tares are the children of the wicked one (verses 38, 39). In the parable of the ten virgins it is said that they all slumbered and slept (Math. xxv. 5). Jonah, the servant of God, slept while running away from the command of God; Samson, the servant of God, slept in the lap of Delilah. Even on the Mount of Transfiguration Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep (Luke ix, 32). Sleep suggests indifference to things about us. If we are indifferent to the things of the kingdom, we sleep. Topic For the Week Beginalng May ST—Comment by Rev. 8. H. Doyle. Topic.—Have patience.—Hath, rrlii, 21-86. THE PAEABLE. Here is the shortest story told: "I have seen my share of human suffering and heartaches," said a western man, "of blood and mangled limbs and bodies. Some years ago I looked after the police and hospital for my paper in a city that is a railroad center and terminus and which had several large powder mills near -by that appeared to be continually blowing up their workmen. "I have forgotten these pictures of human distress and misery; put them out of my mind, pretty much, all save this one. I was in the receiving hospital when the telephone from the city hall rang up the steward to say that the patrol wagon had gone down to the railroad yard to bring up the body of a man who had been run over by the cars. This was such an ordinary occurrence at the numerous grade crossings in the city that it excited no comment, save that the chief visiting surgeon asked me to wait uatil the case had been examined, and he would then walk up town with me. "You don't need to be personal and Jenkinsy," I hastened to as&ure her, "and you might write to Colonel Lawton for permission to tell about his sorghum presses." I could imagine as I looked at the picture that the judge, If put down alive In the queer room, would make some sort of intelligent effort to comprehend the conditions around him. Christ has recently said, "If thjr brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between-thee and him alone." This leads Peter to ask, "How oft shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him — till seven times?" The Pharisees said three times, and Peter no doubt thought seven was a generous number, but Jesus replied, "I say not unto thee seven times, but until seventy times seven"— that is, no definite number, as three or seven, but always have a spirit of willingness to forgive. This truth Christ then illustrates In the parable of "The Unmerciful Servant," which has been selected for our study. A king calls his servants to account. One owed him 10,000 talents, a great sum, which he could not pay. The king therefore ordered him and his family to be sold to pay the debt. The servant begged bumbly for more time, saying, "Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all." The king, going further even than he asked, generously forgave him. But this servant went out and found one who owed him and brutally demanded what was owed, and in spite of his fellow servant's appeal he refused to have mercy, but had him cast into prison. The king was told. He recalled his pardon and had the unmerciful servant delivered into the hands of the tormentors until he could pay. "If you will Just step over there to Miss Addington's desk, she will talk with you, madam," I heard the managing editor say In tones a little more She bad an air of relief as well as pleasure when she found me one night dressing for a reception. All her Innate love of the decorative and romantic came bubbling forth. "Ah, how becoming that is to youT' she exclaimed. "My father used to say that It was a test of blood and raising for people to dress up—that if there was anything common In them It would come out when they were In their best clothes. And ahall you see any of the gentlemen of your office?" she asked in an elaborately Incidental way, and disappointment was In her face when I said I hardly thought I should. gentle than were usual to him. I looked up from my half finished sentence and saw coming toward me, as if propelled by the wave of the editorial hftqd, a Uttle, shabby, dainty, delicate old lady. Her whits, withered face was charmingly pretty In thote fundamental lines upon which time has least affect. Resentment swelled within me. The managing editor always put It off on me to deal with the piteous feminine —•stents continually trickling In "I know what you mean," she said, "about the new, curt, quick way of writing. I hare noticed it in the papers, only I thought perhaps it was because they couldn't write any other way. But I can try to do It, too. If that la what they like up here in the north. And I'll tell anything about the Law ton plaoe that seems unobjectionable. I'm glad you think he won't dislike It. And now, my dear, I'll take myself away.

What would you® grandfather tb— But, then, your grandfather would be very proud of your talents, Adeline, and he was a man who knew that we have to adapt ourselves to circumstances, and I'm sure these—gentlemen all seem veryvery inoffensive." And she overlooked the hardworking, scribbling crowd bent over their desks. Miss Fanny flecked at the frame with her pocket handkerchief, she carried me to one side and the other to see the picture, and she impressively told me the name of the poor soul who painted It. Then she sat herself down in front of it and told me about the Polk and clay campaign lu which Judge Marchbanks and my grandfather had "stumped" the state together, trying politely but fruitlessly to remember as many instances of triumph and adulation for my ancestors as for hers. That both gentlemen were on the losing side in that contest had never occurred to her as dimming their honors. "Where—where did you bury her?" I forced myself to ask. "I was at my wits' end. Miss Addington.

Mi Martin concluded with firm, downr!glD reflections—God bless her! I always remember her as she looked that day, like some quaint little priestess before a shrine. She sat in a chair close against the wall that in the narrow room she might be able to see the picture opposite. Her white hair was crimped a little and drawn softly back in a very good compromise between old styles and new—Miss Fanny was not the person to cling to the old for its own sake—and at her wrists and neck were, of all things, bits of "thread" lace. Hey figure was girlish rather than otherwise and pretty, too, with its nice flat back. But the old black gown made me sorry, because I knew the little woman was not and never would be indifferent to her dress. As she talked away so proudly, so feelingly, of "my father," I wondered what place in memory had all the rest of her long past—the wifehood and widowhood and motherhood, the common, blessed warm Joys and common, crushing griefs that fate had bestowed upon her, and which, good and ill alike, she, so little and tender still, had survived. All seemed to have sunk out of sight, to be burled, and only the first ties to be still active and operative despite time and death. "Dear Miss Fanny, It has never come, up. I don't think any of them ever thought of coming to see me." "It was nearly midnight. In a few minutes the patrol wagon rattled up the silent street, and, as I was comfortably seated before the fire in the steward's room, I didn't rise to go at once into the operating room, an unpleasant, antiseptic smelling place at best. J looked up from my half finlahed tenl tenet, panner, In which, nevertheless, a "Dear me! Well, these northern men are beyond me.

"The surgeon stood beside the conch wiping the coal dust from the victim's face with a soft sponge. "There lay the body of a little boy, a bootblack, with the strap of his blacking box still about his shoulders; a poor little boy not over 10 years of age, his white features fast settling in the mold of death, his frail frame a mass of broken bones which the hard car wheels had crushed out of shape. But his face was untouched save by a few scratches, and he looked as if he were asleep; tired and weary from the buffetings and kicks of a world which to him must have known no joys—only pain, hunger, suffering and sorrow. A poor, homeless, parentless, friendless little stranger, God alone knowing from where he had drifted, with not even so much as a penny in his rags; to be borne along by the tide of life, a nameless chip in the eddies, so suddenly and so soon to find a resting place in a pauper's grave miles away from his home, if, indeed, he had ever known such TAKING THE REINS.

It is not as fully recognized as it should be that there is an enemy of God and man who is ever resisting God and seeking to turn man from Him. His first recorded utterances are in the line of doubting the word of God and the love of God (Gen. iii, 1, 4). He is a liar and a murderer (John viii, 44), a deceiver and a destroyer and will yet gather his hosts against the Son of God, seeking to overthrow Him (Rev. xix, 10). His end is the lake of fire (Rev. xx, 10). \ The Interpretation of this parable Is easily made if we except one particular which must be borne In mind. The king is God; men are his debtors. None of us can pay what we owe God. God will forgive us only when we are willing to forgive our fellow men who have trespassed against us. The parable does not teach that God gives a pardon and then recalls itrva the king did. Christ simply means to Illustrate that unless we forgive God will not forgive us. The Illustration is human and hence Imperfect, but the one truth taught Is clearly evident THE INTERPRETATION. 8CDuator J. S. O'Brien has bought from Tommy Griffin the 2-year-old colt Wild Pirate for $1,100. "Yes," I replied, "Amy prefers It so." It was a safe assertion, though I bad never heard her express herself on the subject Like the true southerner she was. Miss Fanny never ceased to regard New York as the outside phenomenal thing and the standards of Wexville as the normal and accepted ones, although In bar writing she flexibly enough assumed the other tone. That was mental; the maintenance of ancient standards personally was Inarticulately felt to be a matter of loyalty and character. J. S. Brown, Griffin, Ga., has a 2-yearold by Oratorio, 2:13, that is a great one •nd will be raced as a 3-year-old. She had been left a widow with .two little qhlldren while still a young woman. The children, boys, had both died only Ja few years later, and she had spent most of ber life as a childless widow In her widowed father's house. She was his only child. He had died near the beginning of the war. Most of their property had been lost. Mrs. Overman bad since then made what shift she could, and now in her old age, with a courage rooted in inborn gallantry of soul and also in ignorance of this rough world, she bad come to this strange land, "the north," to try to make her living by writing. Bertina, a 4-year-old, by Directum, that is in Heating's string, recently trotted a mile over the Pleasanton track in 2:17. Up to the week ending on April 14 British agents had shipped from New Orleans 20,900 mules, valued at $1,980,- 875. averaging $95 each. tremor of timidity and anxiety was all too evident Lo, she was a southerner! There was do mistaking that gentle drawl on the vowels and suppression of the consonants. I shall not try to' reproduce the peculiarity of her Bpeech. Tbp written letters cannot convey what it f*U except as you know it already; and they seem to coarsen it. 30. "Let both grow together until the harvest" Verses 39 to 43 explain that the harvest is the end of the age (not the end of the world, as many think, for the word "world" is properly "age") and that at that time the angels shall gather out of the kingdom all that offend and do Id Iqulty and cast them into a furnace of fire, and then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. If anything conld be more plainly stated than that the righteous and the wicked shull continue together in this world till the end of the age, let some one tell bow. Where any one can find authority for belieTing that the world shall be all righteous before the end of the age and the coming of onr Lord I do not know. He said on another occasion that as it was In the days of Noah and in the days of Lot so shall it be when He •hall come (Lnke xvli, 26). The parable speaks of the wicked being gathered out first, and some desire to know how this can agree with the church being caught away first. It is all simplified by the truth of His coming to the air where His saints meet Him (I Thess. iv, 14-18) and then coming to the earth with all his saints (I Thess. iii, 18; Zech. xiv, 5; Jude 14). The age Is to end with great Judgments, which will immediately precede HDs coming in trtory (Math, xxlv, 21, 22. 80, 30), but before this great tribulation He will take His own to Himself, where, with Him, they shall be safely hid in the day of the Lord's anger (Isa. xxvi, 20, 21; Zeph. ii. 8; Rev. Ill, 10). The filly by Searchlight 2:08%—Zela Carter, by Director, 2:17, has been named Record Searcher. The little one Is entered in stakes to the amount of $30,- 000. rs the THE APPLICATION. I reflected that after all she had spent most of her life with her fatber, that it was as his daughter she bad chiefly found pier title to existence, but I did not know at that time the thing that really explained her special devotion to him—the fact that she was then spending herself In bis service, for bis good name. Tbe filial tie was re-enforced now by one yet stronger, by perhaps the firmest of human bonds, that which binds the server to the served, and at last something like a mother's love mingled with tbe daughter's loyal adoration of long dead man. Two practical lessons may be drawn from this parable that will apply and enforce the topic. a place "As the surgeon and I walked up the quiet street that night we did not feel like talking."—Washington Star. fer, « Miss Fanny and I each experienced some good lock about the same time.

To understand this parable we must remember the two preceding and that this age is not one of outward encouragement to the child of God, Only a part of the seed produces children of God, and only a part of those bear fruit, and among the children of God the children of the devil are many. Now we see a great tree, with birds in the branches. Does this indicate the church flourishing and many flocking to It, cr is it on tne line of the other two parables and to sight discouraging? It seems to be all one discourse, for in verses 34 to 36 we read that when He had spoken these things He sent the multitude away and went into the house with His disciples. In the parable of the sower the birds, or fowls of the air, represented the devil, who catches away the seed. In this parable the church, which is in God's sight a little flock (Luke xii, 32), has become a great worldly thing and has received into it many a Judas and Demas and Balaam.

"It is perfectly safe anywhere In this part of the town," volunteered Miss Boggs, a W8 boned, dust colored young woman reading a calf bound volume at a drop light I hoped to see her make herself a little more comfortable and treat herself to a new gown. But when I sailed she came to see me off in the same overbrushed little outfit of rusty black that she had worn the day I first saw her. Ps. xxxvli, Eccl. vll, 8; Mftth. vl, 12-15; Rvm.

European RauU.—London Globe. . \ hfl» A number of people visited me at the dock that day, and it has been a bitterly Intruding thought since that I did not give Miss Fanny all the attention that God knows was in my heart for her, and it does not soften that reflection, but brings the keener pang, to remember that she was too much absorbed and delighted by thy momentary syclal importance to have any {bought of herself. Here Is a handy table, furnished by The Christian World, which It would be well to cut out and copy for reference In your Bible studies: A New Use For BaIIoom. Bees moved in the spring seldom go back to their old quarters, for they generally mark their location when they take their first flight, whether they hive been moved or no^. Prypolis is a gum or varnish that bees collect for varnishing over the inside of their hiVes, filling cracks and cementing loose pieces of the hive together and making things fast.— St. Louis Republic.

The people at France, are always ready for the dollar of the unwary traveler.—S'pribgfieid News. 33- This parable of the leaven is generally used to show that the gospel, like leaven, is so working that the whole lump, the world, will soon be leavened or made good, but this is a terrible perversion of Scripture, There Is pot one place in the Bible where leaven thing good. It was excluded from the meat offering (Lev. li, 11), which typified our Lord in His pure and holy life. At Passover time no leaven was to be found in the house of an Israelite (Ex. xii, 19). Our Lord compared the evil teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees to leaven (Math, xvi, 6-12). See also I Cor. v, 6-8; Gal. v, 8, 9. In tw*D cases Israel was commanded to offer leaven with their offerings, but in each ease it was to typify the evil that was in them even as they came to worship God, and it was met by the blood of the sacrifice (Lev. vii, 13; xxiii, 17, 181?Through one of the prophets He said that they thould offer a sacrifice of thangsgiving fcftth leaven, for that was just like them (Amos iv, 5). What are we taught here, then, but that the woman, the church, will so corrupt her food that it shall be wholly corrupted ere the end of the age? How much corrupted it is even now let the topics of Sunday discourses as announced in the papers testify. From a letter received today I quote a sentence: "We have many churches, It is true, but bicycle sermons, political sermons, etc., do not feed us. We would see Jesus." A shekel of silver was about 50 cents. A shekel of gold was $8. A talent of silver was $538.30. A talent of gold was $13,809. A farthing was 3 cents.

Dear Miss Fanny! "Miss Mary Barnwell told me about It before I came on here. You neve* saw Miss Mary, did you? Your mother knew her. She Is a lovely woman. She was Timothy daughter, that endowed the college In WexviUe, and Miss Mary teaches there. She comes on to New York In the summer sometimes, and she stops here. It made me fee} so much more at home to come fq a place I'd heard Mary tell about, and I thipk.lt ts very sheltered and protected to be In a house without geqtlepien when one Is quite alone so." Let me give myself the pleasure 01 saying that I sent my protectress home in a cab, a form of luxury which in the course of our acquaintance I found she particularly appreciated. She never became accustomed to the city- streets. She went about always In a flutter of fear and nervousness, yet she must have done a deal °f |0 get together her little articles and sell them. I saw her down town sometimes, picking her way ftbput among the rushing crowds and oars and trueks, going through the great buildings, with their incoming and outgoing streams of humanity eddying around the rows of elevator doors, and in the grimy newspaper offices, where the air was ferase with silent activities, and as I looked at the quaint figure, the gentle, half frightened, high bred old face, I wondered why she was there. She must have lived some way since the war. Why did she not go Oh pow as she had before and satisfy her ambitions,If she had them, by such ladylike efforts with genteel journals as she bad made in the past, which had brought her much neighborhood consideration and a little money and which did not tear her away from the dingy, dignified, green old home where she was born and the simple, fixed, old time life in which she was surrounded by friendliness, albeit most of the friends wefe gone? Our prediction Is that at the Paris exposition all records will be surpassed in receipts, as they have already beep beaten in the matter of expenditures. And a great proportion of tile total will be American money.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Be Kept the Rln(. A story comes from South Africa which speaks well for the constanay of the Britisa soldier. Among the wounded brought in one day from Potsgister'a drift was a man of scanty clothing who held something in his closed hand. H» had kept his treasure in his hand for,, some eight hours. He showed it to the sister at the hospital. It was a ring. In explanation he said, "My girl gave m« this ring, and when-I was hit I made up my mind the Boers should never get it, so I kept it in my hand ready to swallow it if I was taken before our stretchers could reach me." I did very little letter writing during the eight months I was gone. I heard from Miss Fanny only once, but she was one of those who had urged that 1 spend none of my precious time rep.d" Ing or writing letters, so I was not surprised at her silence. A mite was less than a quarter of a cent. The Saltan's Crimson Sword. The fact that the share of the United States in the I'srls exposition is greater than that of any other country except France appeals to the pride of Americans and may be expected to prove of no small benefit to our commercial interests. —Omaha Bee. An ephah, or bath, contained seven gallons and five pints. Since 1604, when the Persians surrendered Armenia to Turkey, the numerous sultans of Turkey have never sheathed their swords in regard to the former country, save in the flesh of the inhabitants. True, every now and again, when matters are very slow in European politics, some country becomes righteously indignant and a concert of Europe is called and a note sent to the sultan. Still, the fighting goes on, or, rather, the butchering.—New York Telegram. Serlona Thought*. Make time for serious thoughts. Let no day pass without some memory of solemn things. Each morning as you rise remind yourselves that "God spake these words and said." Each evening as you lie down to rest let God's angels close the door of your heart on thoughts of purity and peace. The soul that has never lived face to face with eternity is a vulgar soul. The life that has never learned the high law of holiness is a ruined and a wasted life.—F. W. Farrar. When I came back, I went to the "business woman's boarding bouse" the day after landing to look her up. Amy had Just returned from a four months' absence herself—this was in September—and could give me no news of her. It was a big, old fashioned bouse, and tbe rooms were divided ap Into long and nafrow ones by wooden partitions, and contained two little Iron bedsteads. Tbe Inhabitants of tbe business woman's boarding bouse were united as roommates without reference to anvthln* but a rlsdrtlv Inroerteri respectability all around (surely none but the most respectable of women ever wanted to live there), but each was given a bed Jo fcerselt Miss Fanny found It a Httlo painful to explain these things to me, and A faint red spot came la eaclj withered, delicate old cheek as she said: "It seems a little like what they call an Institution up here, doesn't It?
