OYER FIFTY YEARS OF SUCCESS. I Rotable Career ol the John P. Lovell Arms Company. For over half a centuir the John P. Lovell Arms Co. has been looked to as an authoritv en sporting eoods, and no one who ever haft business dealings with this well known firm has ever had cause to complain of unfair treat ment. After 56 successful years this house is now known throughout the country, and the very mention of the name John P. Lovell Arms Co. Is & synonym of honesty and reliability. John P. Lovell, the founder of the Company, although 74 years old, is invariably at his desk every day to overlook the rapidly increasing business. No sharp practices in trade can be laid up aeainst him. His record for honesty and in tegrity is irreproachable. Fortunately, Mr. Lovell has some sturdy and businesslike sons whom he early associated with him. Col. Benjamin S. Lovell, who is endowed with rare business ability, fills the position of treasurer of the Company in a most thorough manner. He is attached to the Governor of Massachusetts' staff, as was he from 1880 to 1882; was aide-de-camp to Gen. John C. Robinson in 1877-1878, and served on staff of Gen. Russell A. Alger in 1889, and with Gen. Palmer In 1898. Thos. P. Lovell and H. L. Lovell are the Colonel's valuable assistants in keeping the Company to the front. The John P. Lovell Arms Company have every facility which money, a thorough Knowledge of the business and the greatest skill mechanism can produce to make the "Lovell Diamond" the best bicycle in the world. Every year since its first appearance this bicycle has been improved, until now it is unsurpassed in point of material, workmanship, finish, safety, speed, beauty and easy running qualities. Not only is the use of the Lovell Diamond becoming more widespread in this country, but foreign dealers are not slow in recognizing the merit of this machine. The "Lovell Diamond" has the field, and it has already demonstrated that it is the king of bicycles. As the mountains of New England stand for all that is substantial in nature, so does the John P. Lovell Arms Company represent all that is solid and permanent in the business world.?Boftnn Herald, Thought There Were Diamonds in It. Bully Bill Camp, a Montana cowboy, sent $10 to a Maryland terrapin dealer with the request that a diamond-back terrapin be forwarded to him, and full directions how to remoye the diamonds. The dealer, a very honest man, sent back the money and shipped a mud turtle to the cowboy. On the turtle's back he pasted a piece of paper on which was written: 'You are as slow as this."?New York Mail and Express. Nerada is the most sparsely settled State.

INTERNATIONAL LESSON FOR JULY 29. | Lesson Text: "The Youth oF Jesus," Luke ii., 40-52 ? Golden Text: Luke ii., 52? Commentary. 40. "And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him." The prdvious verse says that alter all things written in the law had been performed for the child they returned to Nazareth. This first verse may be said to contain all we know of the first twelve years of His life. Since John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit from his birth /T ?1-~ 1K\ /.onnnt fhinl- nfhprWLQP of ( Li U JVC i. , ?*JJ nw vnuuvk -Jesus, and that would explain His being "strone in spirit aud filled with wisdom." 41. "Now. His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover." Three times a year all men in Israel were commanded to appear before the Lord in Jerusalem (Ex. xxxiW.. 17 ; Doxit. xvi., 16). at the feast of the passover, the feast of weeks and the feast of tabernacles, and none were to appear empty. The time is coming when all the nations of the earth shall be represented in Jerusalem once a year to worship the Lord (Zech. xiv., 16). 42. ''And when He was twelve years old they went up to Jerusalem, after the custom of the feast.It would be a journey of two or three days as they traveled then from Nazareth to Jerusalem, but nothing is said of the incidents oi the journey. 43. "And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and His mother knew not of it." He does cot appear to have been the prodigy which the Apocrypha would make Him out to be. but probably a quiet, thoughtful boy whose mind was more in Heaven than on earth, yet not so absentminded as to be at any time or in fhn i??st decree disresDectful or disobedient, for He never sinned in thought, word or deed (II Cor. v. 21). 44. "But they, supposing Kim to have been in the company, went a day's journey, and they sought Him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.Had He been the wonderworking boy of the Apocrypha, they would hardly have left Him out of their sight, and great would have been the commotion in Jerusalem concerning Him. As it is, they actually lose sight of Him for a whole day. 45. "And when they found Him not they turned back again to Jerusalem seeking Him." While they had sacredly excluded all leaven from their food for days past, they would now think that they had not excluded all evil from their hearts and lives, else they might have been spared this retracing of their steps. Satan would be very busy at suca a time suggesting all manner of doubts and fears, and we may imagino Mary full of upbraidings. His presence is peaco and fullness of joy. Let us never lose it. 46. "And it came to pass that, after three days, they found Him in the temple sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and asking them questions." No: one nor two but three days of sorrow had they experienced because of Him and their neglect of Him, but over twenty years after this Mary had three days' deeper sorrow through no fault of hers. Where had He spent th? days? Who had feed and lodged Him? These and other questions we must wait ro have answered. But we see the beut of His mind in the place and company and occupation in which He was found. 47. "And all that heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers." He could say then in at least some measure, as He did later. "The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself' (John xiv., 10). We may also suppose that His questions would be in the line of pressing Scripture hard upon the precepts of man, such as "What is written in the law?" How readest thou?" (Luke x., 26). His own answers would doubtless be in the very words of Scripture. 48. "And when they saw Him they were amazed, and His mother said unto Him : Son, why hast Thou thus dealt with us? J Behold, Thy father and I have sought Thee j sorrowing." They had learned mat carelessness?going from the sanctuary?causes loss ol Jesus?that is, communion?rind oue day's neglect had caused three days' anxiety, j How often it is so in the spiritual'life?a for[ getfulness of Him for an hour or not responding the moment He calls may lead to much anxious seeking for Him. See S. of Sol. iii., 1-4 ; v.. 6, 7. 49. "And He said unto them: How is it that ye sought MeV Wist ye not that I must be about My Father's business?" People today seek Him everywhere but in the one place where He is to be found. He wiil always be found in the sanctuary ; not necessarily in a so-called place of worship, though He should be found there, but always in His word. Contrast His "My Father" with her "Thy Father." This is the first "My Father" of human lips used in reference to God. and the words of this verse are the first recorded words of Jesus. 50. "And they understood not the saying which He spake unto them." If even Mary understood not, what wonder that the apostles afterward understood not? How utterly helpless we all are, apart from the Holy Spirit, to understand the things of God? The things of God knoweth no man but the Spirit of God (I Cor. Ii.. 11). All the wisdom I 01 JL^ypi ami 01 i>;iuyiuu cuuiu uvi | the dreams of their respective kinijs. None but a Joseph and a Daniel filled with the wisdom and the Spirit of Go I could do it. 51. "And He went down with them and cume to Nazareth and was subject unto them, but His mother kept all these sayings in her heart." Verse 40 covers the first twelve years of His life, and this verse covers tho next eighteen years. On3 has said that submission is the highest mission on earth, and we certainly see it in Jesus. He knew who He was, whence He came and what He cams to do, yet for eighteen years after He said He must be about His Father's business He quietly submitted to Nazareth, and the car? penter's shop, and the humble home. Thirty years, unknown, He trod Galilee 8 sequested sod, But His life was known to God. Daily work at Joseph's call, Daily duties howe'er small, Yet He was the Lord ot all. 52. "And Jesus increased in wisdom and In statue and in favor with God and man." Physically, He grew as other boys ; spiritually He became filled with wislom from above, like Joseph and Daniel, but in greater rneas are. All who admired goodness could not help looking favorably upon Him, while He did always those things which pleased the Father (John vlli., 29). The Scriptures were His special and probably Hl3 only study and the Holy 8pirit HLs eraat teacher. See our oommands and privileges in Joshua i., 8; Col. iii., 10; John xiv., 26; II Cor. iv., 11.? Lesson Helper. Returning to the Old Country. Thousands of emigrants are returning to the old country. Seven steamships in one week alone took away from New York 2658 steerage passengers, while eight arrived with but 1318. Last year there were 489,910 aliens landed here, and the total departures were 127,639. Friends and relatives are sending them money to return to their former homes, as they are unable to obtain work here. So large has become the exodus that Secretary Carlisle has appointed Superintendent Stump, and Assistant Commissioner JIcSweeny a epeoial committee .to investigate the cause. lo Use DiversOwing to the woeful lack of dotikin? facilities for naval vessels on foreign stations the Unite ! States Navy Department is seriously considering the employment of divers for the cleaning of ships' bottoms. Experience lias shown that barnacles an.I marine vegetation accumulate rapidly on hulls of the new steel ships in tropical waters. Their spaed aud general usefulness are considerably hampered thereby, and it is expensive an I frequently inexpedient to send them to distant dry docks to remove the causa of their dis? ability. From the Social Register: The summer edition of the "Social register" has just been issued. The exodus to Europe this year indicated by the Register is two and a half times larger than last year, and twice as large as in 1892. when people did not have the incentive of the World'* Fair to keep them at home. The Register indicates that out of the 5600 and odd New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston and Baltimore families whos<5 summer addresgis are mentioned, 468 have gone to Europe since May 1. An unusually large number have also gone to coast resorts. RELIGIOUS READING. Lt'THER AND HIS MA1P SERVANT. Luther had a domestic residing at his house by the name ot Elizabeth, who in a Jit of displeasure left without giving the family any notice. She subsequently fell into habits of immorality, and became dangerously ill. In her sickness she requested a visit from Luther. On taking his seat at her bedside he said: "Well, Elizabeth, what is the matter?" "I desire," she replied, "to ask your pardon for leaving your family so abruptly; but I have also something else weighing very heavily on my consciencc: I have given my soul away to Satan!" "Why," rejoined Luther, "that's of no great consequence; what else? " I have, continued she, done many wicked things, but this is what most oppresses me, that I have deliberately sold my poor soul to J the devil, and how can such a crime ever find mercy? ''Elizabeth listen to me," rejoined the man of God, "suppose while you lived in my house, you had sold and transferred all my children to a stranger, would the sale or transfer have been lawful and binding?" Oh, no, said the deeply humbled girl, for I had no right to do that. "Very well, you had still less right to give your soul to the arch-enemy; it no more beInnirc tn vnii than mv nhil<lrf*n fio. It is the exclusive property of the Lord Jesus Christ; he made it, and when lost, also redeemed it; it is his with all its powers and faculties, and you can't give away or sell what is not yours; if you have attempted it, the whole transaction was unlawful and is entirely void. "Now, do you go to our Lord : confess your guilt with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, and entreat him to pardon you and take back again what is wholly his own. And as for the siu of attempting to alienate his rightful property, throw that back upon the devil, for that and that alone is his." The girl obeyed, was converted, and died full of faith and hope. THE SIMPLICITY OF FAITH. An attendance upon the reading of the papers and the learned and able discussions which followed at the late annual meeting of the General Association of Connecticut was calculated to impress the Christian mind with the importance of simple faith in Christ The topics which usually come before this purely ministerial body are designed to be in touch with the leading subjects of consideration in the theological world and also in relation to aggressive Christian work in the church. This year the scientific spirit as related to the evangelic spirit of the Congregational idea as worship, and the ground of faith were the leading topics. Under these the scientific trend of the day in connection with the higher criticism, and the nature and place of true worship were brought out from different points of observation with varying Tiews. The papers and the discussions which followed sntrcested the importance in these times of more closely adhering te simple faith in Christ. To a faith like that illustrated in the woman, to whom Christ said, "Woman, great is thy faith. Be it unto thee even as thou wilt The faith that is the gift of God. The faith that works by love and purifies the heart. The faith of the common mind. The faith that is not confounded or disturbed by the mysteries of science. The faith that trusts in God's Word, and recognizes the reality and the fruits of Christian experience is that which will remain in life and triumph in immortality. THE GOODNESS OF GOD. God is good as well as great. O, yes, reader, he is infinitely good to you, to me, to all. On this point I know not how to speak.where to begin or where to end. "The goodness of the Lord endureth forever." It shines in the sun, beams in the moon, sparkles in the stare, rolls in the thunder, streams in the lightning, sighs in the tempest, and comes down upon us in gentle dews and plenteous showers, to water and bless the earth, and make the Utile hills rejoice on every side. The apple which mellows in the sun. the vine, laden with the rich clusters of the grape, the bird that cuts the air, and the insect that floats along the breeze, are only so many varied expressions of God's unsearchable goodness. Think of tha air you breathe; what a blessing this, inhaling life and vigor, beauty and health to every living thing, and yet so common, that you almost forget the gift and overlook the Giver ! Should God withhold it but a few momeuts you and every living creature, would pant lor breath, and soon languish and die. The stream, that leaps from the mountain's side, and glides along through fields and forests, spreading fertility and beauty on every side, until its cheerful ripple is lost in the majestic roar of the ocean, is another expression of God's infinite goodness. What blessings are light and heat! How rich, how free! These also are the products of divine goodness. Should God withhold them, what a dreary eight would spread its mantle over this fair world, and convert it into one vast scene of lamentation, mounting and woe. FERVOB IN* BELIOIOX. Fervor in religion, earnestness as a Christian. is as natural an effect of the close contract of truth with a man's mind, as a spark is for the meeting of steel and stone or as a glow is from friction, or as ebullition is from pouring water upon unslaeked lime. Real religion is fervent. It awakes a man in earnest. It gives light, and heat, and spiritual electricity; and the preacher should be giving off those like an electrical jnachine or galvanic battery. He who is never fervent in prayer, nor in labors lor 60uls, nor in praise, nor in doing sjood, then it must be that the lire of divine love has never been kindled in his heart. Real religion, like lightning, will naturally give light, heat and electricity. The true Christian is chanted with truth, and with love to kouis; and the electric sparks will be flying off from him. If. you are a good conductor you can draw off a great deal of spiritual electricity from a good minister, or from any good Christian, and he will have none the less for it, while you will be all the better. ouk children in heaven. As the shepherd thought more of the sheep that was lost than the ninety and nine that were safe; as the woman scarcely reiilized the volue of the nine pieces of silver that remained in her casket, in her anxiety for the one that was missing; so it has ever seemed to the bereaved parents, the flowers which heaven claims in tne spring time of infancy are fairer and sweeter than any that survive the early blight, to blossom and bear fruit In the cniiiy atmosphere 01 time. If flowers of earth exposed to blight, And withering long before their prime, Appear so passing sweet and bright, Amid the dim cold wastes of timeHow wond'rous: how surpassing fair, How redolent of life and love. Must those, whom heaven has called, appear, Transplanted in the fields above? SUBMISSION MUST BE PERFECT. The secret of success and happiness in the Christian life is known only to those who have fully submitted themselves to Godyielding to God through the operation of the Spirit. Tho Spirit will make duty plain to those who forsake all for Jesus. Many buckSlide by refusing to yield fully to the* Spirit. The path of duty is the only path of safety. Christian people who fully "yield lo God are led into all the fullness of the Gospel oi Christ. They will never want any good thing. They will know by experience that his ways are ways of pleasantness.?Holiness Era. No pastor ever found a congregation exactly suited to his wishes. Should anv congregation expect a perfect pastor? Tho pastoral relation would be more stable and pro uueuve oi more goou 11 uoiu cue parties to it would remember the perfections oJAjumanf?y. Weasels in Chicago. Chicago is overrun this sunnier with weasels. Where these destructive little pests come frotn is not known, but down near Jackson Park there are very many oi them, and many stray even into the business portion, obtaining shelter under the sidewalks. The animals seek the destruction of moles, rats, mice, etc., and are droadel as chicken thieves. To Jiixpel Anarchists. Chancellor von Caprivi, ol Germany, held a conference with the chief of the political police, when drastic anti-anarchist measures were decided upon. It is reported that the British Government has notified Germany that in future all anarchists will be expelled immediately upon their landing in the United Kingdom. Finest Horseiiwu in the World, "The United States cavalry of today are the finest horsemen in the world," said Thomas P. Quinlan, of Omaha, who is at the Sturtevant, "and it is all due to the wonderful training that the troopery are put through at Fort Reilly, where the Government has established a riding school which is the largest in the world. "While on a business trip out there recently I witnessed a troop of the Seventh Cavalry at drill. One of the most strikrv?ftT\an<rTfii?o ie o ci fnllnwc A rvlolnnrj 'ufS ? " of mounted men is drawn up at one end of the arena,. Acrosb the center of the arena a hurdle three feet and a half in the clear is stationed. At a note of the bugle each trooper sets back on the cantel of his saddle, at a second call al' the stimips are crossed, having been -previously shortened for the purpose. At the next call the troopers insert their feet into the stirrups and stand up ; then the charge is sounded and the troops in perfect line move toward the hurdle at a smart gallop, rising together and landing on j the other side in perfect alignment. ! The charge is continued to the end of the arena. The caR 'Fours about,' is heard, the platoon is again in line, returns and takes the hurdle the second time; the calls 'Fours left about' is again given and the command comes to a halt, drops back to the cfantel, removes the feet and replaces the stirrups. This is one of the most thrilling spectacles imaginable. It is by by no means as intricate, however, as the figure eight movement in single and double file executed by a full troop all standing up in their shortened and crossed stirrups. A frequent spectacle is a 'charge of forty or fifty men four abreast, all standing up.

A man named Zalesky, -who died in Poland in 1889, left a peculiar will. The envelope -which contained the will said: "To be openedafter my death." When the envelope wan torn off, another one was found underneath, with the words, "To be opened six weeks after the first envelope has been opened." The next envelope bore the inscription, "To be opened in ? year." After waiting a year the envelope was opened and found to contain still another, which said, "To be opened in two years." And when the will was finally reached it was found that he had bequeathed 100,000 rubles or half his fortane to his relatives having the largest number of children, while the other half was to be invested for a hundred years, at the end of which time the principal and interest were to be divided among his relatives. ?

What is the oldest tune in the world ? An Engliwh journal maintains it is the tune which is now wedded to the words "We won't go home till morning." Napoleon's soldiers played it in the shadow of the pyramids in 1779 and the Bedouins who heard it wept for joy. It was found among the children of the desert by the Crusaders. No doubt it was howled by Chaldean chappies when they were merry with wine. It is, according to experts, the elemental protoplasmic tune, and when you come to whistle it to yourself it is simple. A Curious Story. There is a Bpot in the northeastern ; corner of Calloway County, Missouri, that has a curious story connected with it. In the winter of '74 an im- J mense flock of wild geese alighted on the place, which was then a shallow pond. A sudden cold snap came up in the night and froze their feet in, hard and fast. In the morning the flock arose as though by a common ' impulse and carried the pond away ' with them, to the great disgust of the 1 farmers thereabouts, who had no place ' left to water the cattle.?New York Mail and Express.
