, and the
_ ...ito vi.eir voW and
make them a king" (viii., 21, 22). It would
then seem that Samuel, having sent every
one to hi* city, waited upon the Lord to know 1
what next to do and bow to find the king.
15. "Now, the Lord hod told Samuel in his
ear a dtty before Sanl came, saying"? The
revised version says: "The Lord had revealed
unto Samuel"? Many words of Otsl
crowd to my pen as I think of Samuel
meekly waiting to know God's will, and
God, our Heavenly Father, so lovingly guid- i
ing His servant, who relied upon Him.
"The meek will Ho guide in judgment, and
the meek will He teach His wav." "I will
instruct thee and tench thca {n the way
which thou shalt go." "Thine ears shall
hoar a word behind thee, saying: This is the
way, walk ye in it." "In all thy ways acknowledge
Him and He shall direct, thy |?aths"
(Ps. xxv., W; xxxii., 8; Isa. xxx., 21; Prov.
Hi., 6). All these are true for ns to-day,
and if we sincerely want to know the will of
God that wo may do it, we may he perfectly
euro that Ho will show us His way.
18. "To-morrow, about this time, 1 will
send thee a man." Samuel was therefore expecting
confidently to meot tho man whom
God had selected; just where he should meet
him and how ho would know him ho left to
God, whom he served, hut in confidence made
preparation for him. Now, ns we read tho
first part of this chapter, and see by what a
series of apparently most natural event? Saul
was brought to Bnraunl, all unconscious of
what awaited him. we must, surelv bo com
celled to believe that there is a God In whose
hand tmr breath is and whos? ara all our
ways; and that though a man's heart may
devise his way tho Lord dirocteth his steDs.
17. "Tho Lord said unto him. Behold tho
manP' All prophets, priests and kings in
Israel were as to their office vnot their onaracter)
tvpes of the greatest prophet and true
Priest-lviug, Jesus of Nazareth; and as wh
lead of this first king chosen to reign over
Israel and hear tho words: "Behold the
man," we are at once carried forward to a
day when tho God of Samuel and of Israel
stood In human form before tho people for
thoir acceptance or rejection, and the Roman
Governor said: "Behold the mnnl Behold
vourKingt" (John xix., 5, 14) and although
then and still rojecbxl He snail yet sit on the
throne of David and reign over the house of
Jacob forever and the people shall bo all
righteous. (Luke i., 32, ?3; Isa., lx., 21.)
It). "Toll me, I pray thee, where the seer's
house is." A prophet was !>oforo time called
a seer (v. ?;) that is one who sees what natural
eyes cannot see. Raul and his servant
had given up seeking tho asses and were now
leeking the man of God if perchance he
might tell them where the lost animals might
be found; and as they come near to the city
certain young maidens going out of the city
to draw water inform them that tho seer is
just before them having come to the city that
day, and that there is a sacrifice in tho high
place (vs. 11-13), so Saul stands faco to face
tvitn tho man ho socks, not Knowing tnnt
Samuel expected him.
19. "I am the seer." How like this is to
the reply of Jesus to the woman at. the well.
Mid to the blind uiau: "I that sifak uuto
thee am Ho." "It is Ho that taiketh with
thee." (John iv., 26-ix., 87.) "Ye shall eat
with mo to-day." liow surprised ho must
have been; as much so, perhaps, as Zaccheus,
who only wanted to see Jesus, but was called
down from tho tree to receive Him into his
house.
20. "Set not thy mind on thorn; for they
are found." If we would consult Him who
is perfect in knowledge and isnlways with us
(Job. xxxvi., 4) we would more readily find
our lost, things.
21. "A llonjamite, * * * smallest of
tho tribes, * * mv family the least of
all the families." Benjamin, since tho
slaughter of Judg. xx., 46-48, was literally
iho smallest of the tribes in point of numbers,
and it nHiy have been in the same respect
that Haul's family was also the leasts for
his father is said in verse 1 to have been a
mighty man of power or substance.
22-24. "So Saul did not eat with Suiuuel
that day." What a day of surprises for
Saul! Samuel expects him, speaks to him of
a high place in Israel, iuvites him to a feast,
gives him the chi?rf^-iVxM,u, ?'porn on specially
him, while all tnat SauPhSa in
-\ ' " viev. wueu ue came to 8amuel was that he
inignr recover tne lost asses or his rather.
How many people are to-doy intent upon
earthly things, thinking of nothing higher,
while there is a (east and a kingdom and grw .,
honor awaiting them, of which they are
utterly ignorant.
35. "Samuel communed with Said upon
the top of the house." This was after the
feast when they were come down from the
high place into the city, and Saul and Samuel
were alone. We are not left in ignorance as
to the subject of their conversatian, for chapter
x., 16, implies that the communion was
concerning the kingdom.
26. "Up, that I nmy send thee away." So ,
spake Samuel to Saul, very early noxt morn- |
lug. Just as the three apostles had soon to
come down from the Mount of Transfiguration
where they would fain have remained,
so Saul must go forth from this holy place
and return to take up for a little season the
ordinary affairs of lire. Though by faith in
Christ Jesus wo are now children of God and
loint, hsirR with Phpillt. coativl u?hh r'hriuf in
the heavenliness (Horn, viii., 17; Eph. II., 6);
yet we must go forth day by day into the ordinary
affairs of life, there to glorify God
while we wait for the kingdom.
97. "Stand thou still a while, that I may
show thee the Word of God." The servant
was told to pass on and thus Samuel and
Saul were again alone with God. Samuel
then annotated him Captain or Prince (U.
V.) over the Lord's inheritance, foretold four
-events which should come to pass that day,
" and gave him certain commands until ho
should see him again and shew him what to
do. The events foretold that morning, all of
which came to pass that day (chap, x., 9).
teach me that as I begin each new day. ail
the events of the day. all the people I shall
meet and all they shall say to me, are all
foreknown to God and foreseen by Him, and
therefore it becomes me to be still and know
that He is God, and that He is making all
things work together for my good (l's. xlvi.,
10: Horn. viii.. 28).?Lesson flelper.

John Lewis, keeper of a saloon and gambling
house at Fossil, Wy., frightfully iu litres
tod his delicate wife. She received an
uuusually severe castigation, being detected
in teaching her little boy a prayor.

gave him a goal thrashing, leaving stripy*
all over his body and cuttmg his fnco and

Lewis resisted with all his strength, and
rursod loudly, becoming personal in his
abuse, some men present essayed to quiet
him, threatening tiio us > of a rope. A few
of Lewis' friends came to his rescue. ItoTolver*
wore drawn, and the burt:in? of s.x hooters
were loud nnd lively. The room
was filled wltb atnoke and the lights were extinguished.
When order was restored, among the men

things that England is spending loss on intox- e

ipite of two conditions which ordinarilv lead 1
to au incrvaso?n distinct revival of trade and J

Mr.Uoschen adduced evidence clenrlyshowiug J
a "sternly growth of national temperance '
which old men all testify to be taking place, I

POINTS FOR PROHIBITION* 1
The damage wrought to the physical health '
of its citizens, whereby they become unable 1
to support their families or themselves, and '
so become a charge to society as paupers, or
as inmates of insane asylums or hospitals, is
n damage wrought to the State. The State
not only loses through the diminished pro- 1
duction, but it loses through the expense imposed
upon it in maintaining almshouses and
asylums. What the State loses through in- 1
capacity to labor caused by the drink hnbit, 1
which is chiefly caused and fostered by the
saloons, cannot easily be cstimntcd, but the
cost of maintaining tne victims of the drink
babit in almshouses and asylums has often
been calculated.
Senator Blair says, on the basis of a careful
Investigation of statistics, that "from twothirds
to four-fltths of the inmates of our poor
houses are sent there by strong drink." Ti
State Board of Health of Massachusetts made
bu inquirv, the results of which nro given in
their sixth report, as to the proportion of inmutes
in the almshouses of the cities and
towns who were there by reason of strong
drink. In some cities the proportion ran as
high as 90 per cent. The overseers of the
poor, according to the fifth report of the
Massachusetts State Board of Charities, estimated
that the proportion of paupers who
are drunkards ranges from one-tenth in some
localities to nine-tenths in others.?Independent.

Dr. N. S. Davis, of Chicago, I'resident of

rrnino horses or tongue iou.tno.
There are several forms of bits in use
for curing horses of the habit of lolling
or thrusting out the tongue when at
work or driven on the road. But in all
the forms the idea is to prevent the horse
from thrusting his tongue over tho bit
and out of the mouth. Sometimes the
bar is bent up in the middle or has a
plate attached to rest on the tongue. You
i can make an excellent bit by using a
1 leather bar with rings attached to each
end. In the back of the leather bar
fasten two small screw eyes about two
' inches or a little more apart. Then take
a piece of number ten wire seven inches
long, and bend it with two right angles

The value of buckwheat as a farm crop
is not fully appreciated by all farmers.
When thousands of acres of virgin land
\tps being cleared by our forefathers,
buckwheat was always tho first crop to
be planted. It was the only crop that
would catch well pn such land and looseu
the soil properly for better crops. Buckwheat
contains less of the albuminoids
than wheat, but a greater amount of
itarch and fat. It is, therefore, very fatl
tcning, and makes an excellent feed for
1 pigs and poultry. It will grow tho best
| where there is a light soil, and it will
i Houriiii under a greater rainful than other
- grains! "
1 As a second crop buckwheat cannot be
j surpassed. Crops that have been dess
troyed by drought , insects or other causes
= can baancceeded by buckwheat with good
results. New land is benefited by it in
t several way. It loosens the soil and exr
terminates the weeds. It is such a rapid

ture ground for colts is such as is well
" drained," or naturally rather dry, and if
it abound? with scattered recks a foot or
more in diameter, these are not objectionable,
but small stones arc, for the
colts in running about are liable to strike
on them to the injury of their hoofs,
whilo they avoid the lurger ones and rocks
8 in their exercise. The grass on such lands
I is sweet nud tender, highly relished by
the colts, and very nutritious. Growing

the feet and legs nnd the bones of the
wholo body become extra strong, more
like ivory than common bono grown on
* quite succulent pasture. For cattle tho
pasture need not be so select iu quality,

? To have flowering plants and shrubs
Jj through the Warm season, writes Helen
Wharb arton in the Washington Star, one
j must needs take good care of them, and
i aot trust too much to nature. The fault
' with many is to think that in the sutnmei
? time everything Will bloom and look its
o best no matter how little attention is bei
itowed upon it. But the garden of the
r experienced flower-lover will always looV
, much neater, prettHPt and fresher than
i" tho one presided over by an ignorant
' unateur. To Ray that weeds should b<
'e kept out of the garden is an unnecessary
e precaution, for all understand the need
? Df such work. But there are other little
? xhl jobs that can be done about the flowci
* garden with satisfactory results. If th<
a mourning season u 10 uo proiongeu ai
flowers should be removed as soon as the]
? begin to fade. Tl^o. strength of the plan!
that would go to produce seed'will ther
* contribute toward making new flowers,
s The embryo seed-vessels should be pinchec
1 off, and the plant will make another ef(
fort to bud out in all such places. To se
o cure flowers all attempts of the plants U
produce seeds should be stopped.
Bedding plants should be cut bad
frequently, as this induces new growths
?1 and new growths usually produce nov
;? flowers. The flowering season can als<
j' be prolonged very greatly by taking can
l! to stir the top soil occasionally with i
.. small trowel. This allows the air to cir
^ culate around the roots of the plants ant
makes small passage ways for the watei
e to trickle through. If plenty of water L
" then supplied the plants there is no reasoi
j' why flowers shoslu not be blooming it
f the garden until late autumn. I hav<
r had annuals flowering until the first frosl
y of the year nipped thorn.
Some plants, such as dahlies, tube
o roses and the tall varietidfof the gladio
Ins, are easily broken, and they new
*' some support other than their frail stems
Stakes should he placed alongside o
(1 them, and the stalks securely fastened ii
an upright position. If the stakes an
[l cut from the woods when green they cai
hardly be distinguished from the plants
The plants should bo tied to them wit!
wide strips of cloth, and not with'string

can bfe done by cutting green grass from p

A ' THRK81IINO DAT.
Ah me, how many threshing days do 1 1
remember?some sad ones and some pleasant
ones. Sometimes the crop proved
almost a failure, and sometimes it turned
out better than wo expected, and the
good wife rejoiced and gave the threshers
and ail hands the best the house could
furnish. In mj younger days we were
threshing more or leepall winter. Now a \
ten-horso power steam thresher does the 1
whole work sometimes in one long day j
and always in two days. It is a trying <
time. The hopes and fears of a whole ]
year are brought to the test. It is a busy
time for the farmer, and if he is not care- ]
ful he will be likely to overtask himself.
If ho is wise nothing but absolute neccs- )
sity should induce him to 4'cut bands," or
take away the grain, or build the stack,
or undertake any wofk that will confine
him to one spot. He can always find
plenty to do. Sometimes the men who
are pitching the grain to tho machine
may come across a lot of rnkings, and a
little help may encourage them. Sometimes
the man who is carrying away the
grain will find the granary chocked up,
and the farmer, by the vigorous use of a
scoop shovel, will make all rightagain in a
few minutes. Sometimes the wind may
bother the men on the stack, and a few
words of encouragement and sympathy,
with a little assistance, will put new
spirit into them.
The essential points to look after are:
4st. The granary. It may need a few
strips .of tin to make it rat and mouse
proof. Recollect, also, that you have
not only to get the grain into it, but also
to get it out again?nnd it sometimes
happens that it is necessary to get it out
sooner than you expect. Should it get
warm it will bo necessary immediately to
turn it Or spread it out on the baru floor,
or run it through a fanning mill. 2d.
See that the machine threshes clean. If
not, lower the concave. Bee that no
graiu Is carried over with the chaff.
Occasionally the thrashers have a visitor
who wants to feed the machine, and he
crowds in the sheaves, and the sieves
cannot properly clean the grain, and
more or less of it |>asscs over on to the
straw carrier. 3d. Look to the straw
stack. This is nn important matter to
those of us who feed out the straw. The
great secret of making a stack rain-proof
is to keep the middle full and well trodden
down from the start, so that
when it settles, the outside will sink
down lower than the inside. When you
begin to build the roof, tho part that
needs tho most care is immediately under
the stn^w carrier. The chatl is apt to
accumulate there, and when the machine
is removed there will bo a depression in
the stack at this point that will let in the
rain. Take special pains to put some
layers of long straw under the straw
carrier. Many of our straw carriers aro
not long enough, and if it is necessary
for a man to throw the straw up on tho
roof of the stack, drive some long poles
' into the stack and place nn old door on
' them for the man to stand on. If this is
1 not done, the place where he stand will
f be a hole difficult to fdl up so that it will
[ shed tho water. Tho fanner, if he is
1 wise, will frequently be on the straw
' stack during the day and help to tread it
i J it.? I...A / Li. ~

safety and for the good of the stack he
1 will not venture too near the outside.

gine, but ii) point of fact there is more
danger from tobacco smokers than from

FARM AND OAKDKN NOTES.'
Forethought is one good harvest hand.
, The best incubator in the world is the
hen.
i It is highly extravagant to use lowi
priced mower oil.
As a rules black bees are not moro
' hardy than Italians.
Grow the pigs from the day of birth to
1 the day of slaughter.
Twelve hours with system harvests
more than sixteen hours without.
A well-known agriculturist claims that
i Canada thistle can be eradicated by
smothering with clover.
An experienced poultry raiser of Georgia
is confident that at the South poultry
cannot be made a success without a good
shaded run for the fowls during the hot
months. *
i Kye which has been sown for pasturage
i must bo kept fed down closely. If it be
i allowed to grow too much it will becomo
I tough and woody; if fed closely it will
; sprout, and if the ground bo rich tho
* food will be abundant.
1 A correspondent of the Southern Culti'
vator emphasizes the hardiness of Lang*
shan fowls saying that they stand tho
: cold winters of the North and the hot
' summers of the Bouth better than any
k breed he is acquainted with.
' Poultry droppings make the best of
i manure for the garden. If you have not
already built n tight bin for their prescr\
vation, you should do so this winter.
Their droppings will buy one-third of what
I they will eat in twelve months.
r How to make a good warm breakfast
ior iony iowis: uoii a neaping imlf pock
of potatoes, mash them; add one quart
each of shorts and bran, a tablenpoouful
each of salt and pepper; add hot water
'enough to mix into a stiff dough.
That the farmer may establish a quickgrowing,
beefy kind upon his farm, he is
only required to secure growthy specimens?good
feeders?of breeds not akin,
and he will straightway obtain what ho
desires. It is largely the throwing in of
new blood that tells upon a herd, a wise
selection never failing to make a betterment.
The testimony accumulates that it is
1 better to feed milch cows but twice per
r (lay, at it is alleged that well fed cows
i can put in their time resting and remastii
citing their food more protfltably than to
i spei.T it in any other way. The man who
) thinks a cow ought to be cantering all
t over a half bare pasture to get a livelihood
doubtless dpea not believe in the
- above, t
The introduction of the Pekin duck,
1 together with rapid strides in artificial
hatching, has made duck raising a profit
f able industry. Ducks are very hardy, ena
tirely free from vermin, and liable to few
? diseases. They take to confinement much
a better than fowls, and a cheap (very low)
fence ia sufficient to keep them in the dc
i sired place. They stand transportation
t better, either alive or dressed, than most
t kind of ipwls. They are great egg proi
ducers, and their feathers arc of eoosid?
croble value.
