tumorous department. A Queer Misunderstanding.?A certain West End man is growing more and more deaf, and greatly dislikes to admit it. He makes a brave pretence i of understanding what is said to bim, and this frequently entails amusing mistakes. Not long ago a neighbor met him and said : "Perhaps you haven't heard about the agreeable visitor that arrived at our house yesterday??a fine baby boy?a perfect cherub?" The deaf man smiled pleasantly and replied : "Oh, we have lots of 'em at our house. My wife gets them by the ] bushel. Stews 'em, you know, and puts 'em up. She put up more than 40 cans this summer. Yes, indeed." ' "Why," inquired the bewildered neighbor, "what do you think I said ?" "Yes. she likes the red kind best," continued the afflicted citizen. "Says i they ain't so tough. Is yours the black sort ?" "Sir!" exclaimed the indignant ( neighbor. "What are you talking , about?" The deaf man heard this. "Why, cherries, of course," he pleasantly remarked. "That's what you said, isn't it?" But the neighbor walked along without explaining. , ' Three Blessings.?An old clergyman, who formerly lived in a New , Hampshire town, was remarkable for j his eccentric modes of speech. His ( way of asking a blessing was so peculiar as to sometimes affect the risibles ( of his guests, although he apparently { was entirely unconscious of the fact. When he seated himself ' at the breakfast-table, and saw spread upon . it a meal greatly to his liking, he said, "Lord, we thank thee for this excel- 1 lent breakfast of which we are to partake." A more simple meal, but one which J he still regarded as comparatively satisfactory, would cause him to say, ' "Lord, we thank thee for this good breakfast set before us." But, when the minister's eye roamed over the table and saw nothing which was especially to his taste, although the tone in which he uttered his-petition was not lacking in fervor, his sentiments were clearly to be discovered. "Lord," he invariably said on these occasions, "fill our hearts with thankfulness, we beseech thee, for this meal set before us; for with thee all things are possible." The Dead Came to Life.?They tell a good story of one of the late rectors of St. Luke's Episcopal church, Brooklyn. A minister tells it, and it must be true. He was one of the most esteemed rectors of the church. "Dear old Doctor Diller," people say who speak of him now. He was eminently kindhearted and charitable. He was called on one day to visit a family with whom he was not well acquainted, and who were said to be in great distress. The head of the family was dead, and his widow and children were left almost destitute. The body of the husband and father lay in one of the rooms on the day that the doctor called. He did everything to show his sympathy with the familv. and also cave Dractical finan cial aid. He then hurried away, iD 1 his baste leaving his umbrella. He missed it immediately, and returned j for it. He entered the room he had just left unannounced. The family ' was still there, also the corpse, who 1 was sitting up and counting the money. ( , , i I^The highly respectable French ' simpleton, M. Calino, discovered the other day that he had left his umbrella somewhere. As he had visited < three stores, he knew it must be in one 1 of them. So he started back, and vis- ( ised all three in turn. "It has not been found here," he was told in the < first store; and M. Caliuo shrugged his shoulders a little, aud went out. ! At the next store the same response i was made. M. Calino shrugged bis i shoulders still higher, and went to the i third store. There the umbrella was i waiting, and was promptly turned over to him. "Well," he exclaimed, with | satisfaction, "I must say that you are ( more honest than they are at those } /\^ K AM otAKAO I " OVV1VO i New Kind of Fruit.?The Washington Star has heard of a young lady who went into the country full of a ' disposition to be interested in rural ( sights and sounds. On the second day she saw a farmer walking between ' the rows of his garden and picking 1 something into a dish. She went near, but could not solve the mystery. 1 "Excuse my ignorance," she said, po- I litely, "but I can't see any fruit on | these vines." "No?" answered the 1 farmer. "No, I don't see anything i but leaves and flowers. What are ' you piching?" "Tater bugs," said the farmer. 1 ? * ? I She Was Not to Be Fooled.? i "Let me see some of your black kid ! gloves," said a Houston, Tex., lady to j a clerk. "These are not the latest ' style, are they ?" she asked, when the gloves were produced. "Yes, madam," replied the clerk, "we have had ( them in stock only two days." "I ( didn't think they were, because the ] fashion paper says black kids have tan stitches, and vice versa. I see the ( tan stitches, but not the vice versa."

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. .ESSON V, FOURTH QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, NOV. 1. .'ext of the Lesson, I Kings v, 1-12?Memory Verses, 4, 0?Golden Text, Ps. exxvil, 1?Commentary by the Rev. D. M. Stearns. 1. "And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent his ervants onto Solomon, for he had heard hat they had anointed him king in the oom of his father, for Hiram was ever a over of David." The association of Hiram ind David in the building of David's louse-Is seen In II Sam. v, 11. Isaiah peaks of Tyre In these words, "Tyre, the rownlng olty, whose merchants are irinces, whose traffickers are the honorhie of the earth" (Isa. xxlll. 8), but It is n the same conneotlon that we read of the jord of Hosts staining the pride of all ;lory and bringing Into contempt all the tonorablo of the earth. From Ps. xlv, 19, ve oonclude that In the coming kingdom Pyre shall be represented, and we think of uoh as the woman of Math, xv, 21, 28, ,nd the "more tolerable" of Math, xl, 22 n conneotlon therewith. 8, 8. "Thouknowest bow that David, uy father, could not build an house unto he name of the Lord his God for the wars vhioh wore about him on every &ldo, until he Lord DUt them under the soles of his eet." How siiggestlvnof Him who"must elgn till Ho hath put all enemies under 31s feet, that God may be all In all" (I lor. zv, 25, 28.) When the Lord told )avid that he could not build the tomple, le said to him, "Behold a eon shall be torn to thee, who shall be a man of rest, ind I will give him rest from all his enenles round about, for his name shall be lolomon?that Is, peaceable?and I will five peaoe and quietness unto Israol in his lays" (I Chron. zxil, 9, 10.) "He shall tulld an house for my name, and ho shall >e my son, and I will be his father, and I rill establish the throne of his kingdom iver Israel forever." Truly a greater ban Solomon Is hero whose kingdom hall have no end. The time of war on tarth is not yet over, for the greatost is yet ;o come, but Isa. 11, 1-4, shall bo fulfilled, ind when the Son of David shall judge jnong the nations "nation shall not lift ip sword against nation, neither shall they earn war any more." 4. "But now the Lord my God hath liven me rest on evory 6ide, so that there b neither adversary nor evil ocourront." le does not mention the instrumentalities vbloh God bad used to bring this rest, but ^knowledges it as the gift of God. Intruments aro nothing except as God uses hem, but God is all. He gives rest to all trho are willing to cease from their own rorks and let Him control. When in the text age our Lord shall have cast the beast nd false prophet into the lake of fire and he devil Into the pit then it shnll be true large measure that there shall be nelher adversaiy nor evil to contend with. 5. "And, behold, I purpose to build an louse unto the name of the Lord my God, ,8 the Lord spake unto David, my father." le was ready to be used of God to carry ut his purposes. This is rest indood, to ?Ileve that God has a purpose (Isa. ziv, 4) ana let uoa wora id un uuui uu wm ,nd to do of His good pleasure (Phil, ii, 8), sure that "every purpose of the Lord hall be performed" (Jer. 11, 39). Ho shall lot fail nor bo disoouragod, but 6hall see f the travail of His soul and be satisfied Isa. zlii, 4; lili, 11). Therefore we have inly to dwell with Him for His work. 6. "Thou knowest that there is not ,mong us any that oan skill to bow timber ike the Sidonians." Ho gives his order or cedar trees and promises to pay Hiam's servants and then adds these words if praise. Not all are oallod to the same vork. The Lord gives "to evory man bis vork," and the Spirit divides to every one lis gifts "severally as He will" (Mark :lii, 84; I Cor. xii, 11). Talents aro glvn to each according to hlB several ability Math, xxv, 15). If we aro fully yiolded, Jod will fill us with wisdom of heart to vork all manner of work that He may re[aire of us. 7. "When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly and said, Blessed be the Lord this day which hath [iven unto David a wise son over this ;Teat people." Every good gift is from ibove, and a man can receive nothing oxept it be given him from heaven (Jas. i, .7; John ill, 27). 8. "I will do all thy desire concerning imber of oedar and concerning timber of lr." Thus Hiram sont answer to SoloDon. All such records in Scripture are uggestive of the great love of God, who, laving not spared His own Son, will with lim also freely give us all things (Rons. riii, 82). "Delight thyself in the Lord, tnd He shall give thoe the desires of thine leart" (Ps. zzzvil, 4). 9. "Thou 6balt accomplish my desire in giving food for my household.'' The work n hand to be acoomplished by this partlership was the building of the temple of ho Lord. A temple is now being bulldod, if whioh our Lord Jesus is both foundalion and top stone, and bolievers are living itones in the temple. If we seek first the Eingdom of God and His righteousness, dl that we need in the way of food and 'alment will be made sure to us (Math, ri, 83). 10, 11. "So Hiram gave Solomon cedar ;rees and fir trees, according to all his deire. And Solomon gave Hiram twenty ihousand measures of wheat for food to lis household and twenty measures of mreoil; thus gave Solomon to Hiram year >y year." Solomon was seven years buildng the temple and thirteon years building lis own house (chapter vl, 88; vii, 1), so hat this was a partnership covering many rears. Our partnership is with the Lord fesus Christ, and the work on hand is the lonipletion of the church, which is the lody of Christ. If we give our attention vholly to this work, our Master will see to be supply of all the neod. To attend neroly to our own church or denomination nay not be the best way of completing he church, but we are surely safo in send ng forth missionaries as fast as we can, ir, rather, as fast as He can, to gathor out if all nations the elect body of Christ, the lulldlng of Eph. li, 19-22. 12. "And the Lord gave Solomon wis lom, as He promised him, and there was >eaoe between Hiram and Solomon, and hey two made a loague together." Wo nust distinguish between Hiram the king ind Hiram, Tyrian, widow's son (I Kings '11, 13, 14), the skilled workman in brass vho made all the bright brusswork lor tbf iouso of tho Lord (I Kings, vil, 45),- jin'et both Hlrams were identified with King Solomon In the work. To be identified vlth Israel in tho ngo to ooino will surely e a great thing, but it is much greater to ie in this age fully identified with the Sing of Israol. tho Son of God (John i, 49, 0). Of Him It is written, ' Behold tho an whose namo is the branch, and He hall grow up out of His pluce, and He hall build the temple of the Lord. VST We are God's plants, God's flowrs.

( HOW TO CURE A CARBUNCLE. t As soon as the swelling commences 1 make a salve of equal parts of white t pine turpentine (which is a gum) and ? new unsalted butter. Melt slowly to- i gether and thicken with wheat flour 1 until of a consistency which can be < easily spread with a knife. Spread the salve on a piece of green leaf, or on oil silk?some substance which will not t absorb the oil from the salve?and t over it a larger piece of white ( muslin, around the edge of which at c intervals has been put some adhesive \ plaster. If this salve is used early enough, it may prevent the growth of t the carbuncle; but 11 not, cuange me t salve twice each day, gently washing e the swelling with castile soap and warm water. It never needs to be lanced t when treated in this way, and the pain f is greatly reduced. When the carbuncle seems to have discharged about it < all it will, continue the use of the salve j and cover the sore with a cloth spread { with fresh mutton tallow for a few days, then with the muslin only, to prevent \ taking cold. If new butter cannot be ] obtained, pure fresh lard may be substituted, but the butter is far prefera- j ble. I keep a supply of white pine . turpentine in a tin box, and mix as needed. This salve can be used for boils, and is especially useful in treating felons. If applied as soon as the felon is first felt, it will prevent its growth. It is also very efficacious in treating broken breast, reducing the swelling and pain in a few hours. If in any case a growth of proud flesh should begin, itcau be immediately checked by the application of alum, prepared in the following way : Place on the stove a small lump of alum ; it will melt, theu bubble, and will soon settle down light and white. Pulverize a small quantity of this and apply it. Cover with cloth on which is mutton tallow. Wash once a day. It will soon heal. Be Explicit In Making Bar-J| GAINS.?ii is eviueni. tnai, wuuy mwsuits and unpleasant business differences, and considerable loss of money, could be avoided by explieitness in asking und giving prices, in ordering, and in making statements, either oral or written, regarding the details of J transactions. Kicks and complaints are very common in the lumber business, says The Lumberman, and it applies equally to business transactions * of every kind. Trouble arises from misunderstandings that might easily have been averted by carefulness at " the outset of a deal, while in other i instances definiteness of statement on j the part of the buyer or seller, in 1 the event of controversy, would have j made plain the merits of a case that J looks decidedly mixed because too j much has been taken for granted. 1 An ambiguous order should never be i given, nor should goods be forwarded on the strength of it. If there is any i opening for a mistake as to the dimen- j sious or quaiuy ui aiuu hj?l ia wiucied, all the points should be definitely stated. Orders by telegraph especially are often too brief, are open to misconstruction, or lacking in detail. If goods are so urgently wanted that they are telegrnped for, it is certainly highly important that there should be nothing wrong on their arrival. The great aim of most persons in writiug out a message is to save a few cents by boiling it down?an economy that often loses dollars for the sender. An order by telegram should be made to state exactly what is wanted, no matter how mauy words are required, and then in case of a dispute the buyer will have more ground to stand on. * An Irresistable Bait for Rats.? ^ According to a Washington correspondence to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, an interesting, not to say valuable, discovery has been made by Captaiif Weedin, in charge of the animals at the zoo. The building is infested with rats and how to get rid of them has long been a perplexing ques- j tion. Traps were used, but noth- ' iug would tempt the rodents to enter. In a storeroom drawer was placed a quantity of sunflower seeds, used as food for some of the birds. Into this drawer the rats gnawed their way, a fact which led the captain to experimenting with them for bait in the traps. The result was that the rats cau't be kept out. A trap which appears crowded with six or eight rats is found some mornings to hold 15. They are turned into the cages containing weasels and minks. The latter will kill a rat absolutely almost before one can see it, so rapid are us movements. The weasels are a trifle slower, but none of the rats escaped them. A Kicking Cow.?An Oregon fur- a mer gives a remedy for kicking cows which he claims to have used with great success for the past 12 years: Take a small rope or cord about, the size of a clothes Hue ; make a loop in one end; hold the loop end in one hand, drop the other end over the cow's hack ; pick it up and pass it through the loop, then slip it back just behind the hips, bringing it underneath just forward of and close to ihe udder, adjusting it so that th^loop is near the back bone. Now draw the rope through the loop, the more tightly the better, if the animal is very vicious. . Ou the first application she will jump and try to kick and perhaps bellow ; but let her kick, she will soon get ? tired of doing so. Now you can sit 5 down and miik without the least dan- * ger. You can hardly provoke her to e kick. If he should still try to kick, ^ tighten the rope aud continue to do this till she gives up. Three applications _ in succession will cure the worst case. Treat her kindly and gently all the time without the least excitement. i Horses In Dark Stahles.?The pupil of a horse's eye is enlarged by u being kept in a dark stable; be has a n harness put on him and is suddenly brought out into glaring sunlight, y which contracts the pupil so suddenly h as to cause extreme pain. By perse- e vering in this very foolish and injudicious, as well as cruel practice, the i nerve of the eye becomes impaired, and if continued long enough loss of sight will ensue. To see how painful " it is to face a bright light after having jeen in the dark, take a walk some ? lark night for a short time till the syes become used to the darkness, J ,hen drop suddenly into some well- ? igbted room, and you will scarcely be ^ ible to see for a few moments in the tudden light. You know how painful t is to yourself, then why have your lorses to repeatedly bear such unnec;ssary pain ? Six Rules For Lamps.?1. Let ,he wick always touch the bottom of ,he lamp, and trim the top square and iven, cutting off the corners. In stulents' lamps rub off the crust on the vicks and never cut them. 2. Fill lamps within half an inch of he top. If too full the oil runs out, ind especially when lighted, greasing jverytbing that touches it. 3. In lighting, turn wick up slowly, bat the chimney may heat gradually md thus not crack. 4. Keep the wick turned high (j suough to burn freely. If too low, a ioisouous and explosive gas is generited. 5. A free draught is as necessary vith a lamp as with a fire, so keep all )arls free from dirt. 6. Wash chimneys in hot suds and polish them with old newspapers. ROYAL Baking Powder Absolutely Pure ROYAL Baking Powdet Absolutely Pure ROYAL Baking Powder 1 Absolutely Pure MIR m LENOIR-RAILROAD.
