A youth who had, in a performance < of "Richard III.," to recite the words, "My lord, the Duke of Buckingham f is taken," came on shaking with stage fright, and brought down the house , by shouting: "My lord, the Buck of Dukingham is taken 1" An English clergyman, who was 1 given occasionally to such transpositions, used one day in a sermon as an 1 illustration the scene at Lucknow, when Jessie Brown called out, "Dinna ' ye hear the pibroch and the slogan ?" But he pronounced it: "Dinna ye hear j the slobroch and the pigan ?" He did not know that he had made the blunder until a friend told him of it after | the service; and then he was so much , i numilitucu lum., anci uuc vim V> evening service, he took occasion to say to the congregation: "I am told that this morning I said 'the slobroch and the pigan I meant to have said the 'slibroch and the pogan !' Receive the blessing." Another minister could never say, "Sweet for bitter, and bitter for sweet," and as the service called for the utterance of these words on one occasion, his congregation had to steel themselves to hear without a burst of laughter the phrase, "Switter for beet, and beet for switter." Macready has already told of an actor who, in rendering the words, "the poisoned cup," constantly said, "the coisoned pup," to the great delight of his audiences. At last he managed, by much practice, to control his utterances so that in public performance be pronounced the phrase correctly. Instantly there was an uproar; the audience missed its customary fun and would not let the man proceed until he had given the "coisoned pup" instead. Then he was consoled with shouts of applause. HER RULING PASSION. Ex-Congressman John J. O'Neill, of St. Louis and ex-Congressman Forman, of Illinois, who used to represent the South St. Louis district, were at the CaDitol recently in the interest of . the proposed new bridge across the ' Mississippi river at St. Louis, says the ! Washington Post. One of the St. Louis delegation j which appeared before the house commute on commerce in the interett of the bill, Mr. Lloyd G. Harris, told an amusing anecdote of Mississippi river * stearaboating in the course of his argu- ' ment. ( "The captain and officers of the * Missouri Belle, a Mississippi steamer," ( said Mr. Harris, "were very fond of ( buttermilk, which a farmer who lived 1 along the river bank supplied them. * The boat, in passing this point, would always make a landing, and blow her ] whistle in order to notify the farmer ( she was there waitiug for buttermilk, i The farmer would send down a Negro t man with a bucket of buttermilk, and, < having taken it aboard, the boat would t proceed on her way. < "On one occasion when she tried to t edge up to this point, she struck a sandbar and sunk. The captain blew { a signal of distress, fastening the lever < so that she would blow as long as there was steam, while the huDgry waters were gradually rising and swollering her up. The water had crept up to the boiler, and as it rushed in there was an expiring gust of steam into the signal pipe which caused a most peculiar, lugubrious and nerveshattering sound. Just at that moment, Pompey, who was responding to the signal, reached the water's edge with a pail. When he heard that sound, be exclaimed: " 'Great Gawd ! Da's de Belle a'sinkin' and callin' fo? buttermilk wif her last breff!" Would Be Interesting.?"I dunno," said the gripman of the cable car, as he toyed with the brake, "I dunno about it, after all."

Sharp Reporting.?An amusing 1 story is told of the editor of a go- , ahead evening newspaper, who iu the eternal rushing to get to press to get , ahead of the opposition, was constant- | ly impressing upon his reporters the . necessity for condensing ail news.

I Text of the Lesson, Lake xt, 11-24?Memory Verses, 18-20?Golden Text, Lake xt, ' 10?Commentary by the Rer. D. M. Stearns. 11. "And He said, A certain man bad < two sonB." In our last lesson we saw the ] messengers bidding the people to come to ( the feast, but in this chaptor, which is all , nno nt.nrv In snveral narts. we soe the srreat first and continual sooker of men showing us how it should bo done. We see the love ' of Christ in the shepherd, the love of the ' Spirit in the woman with the candle, and < the love of God In the father receiving tho I penitent son. The lost sheep suggests our j Inclination to go astray; the lost money, our deadness to a sense of our condition; , the lost son, our solfishness, Ingratitude , and rebellion, while the elder 6ou makes 1 us think of the self righteousness and lack 1 of sympathy of some Christians. < 13. "He divided unto them His living." j The younger son's request, which led to the father's doing this, indicates a greater j regard for the goods than for the father, ( more thought of possessions than of God. It is the proud, self willed spirit of insubjeotlon and of independence of God, the ' I, me, mine spirit that wants Its so called rights. God sometimes lots such spirits I have their own way that they may in due j time see themselves. , 18. "There wasted his substance with j riotous living." This is briefly the story of the vouncer son who took all he pos sessed Into a far country. Illustrations 1 may be found In Cain, Esau, Absalom, J Manasseh, and can be seen in tho lives of i those all about us who live only for themselves and the prosent world. . I 14. "He began to bo in want." Those , who forsake the only fountain of living water will soon find that their brokon cisterns can hold no water (Jer. ii, IS); that 1 all that is under the sun fails to satisfy and is only vanity and vexation of spirit (Eooi. i, 14; li, 11), and that there Is a i longing in the soul still unsatisfied. I 15. "He sent him unto his fields to feed | swine." See a son of a wealthy father , joining himself to a citizen of a far country. The world is in its thoughts and ways a far country from our heavenly Father's 1 home, and in chapter xix, 12, the heavenly oountry is spoken of as a far country from 1 this world. When we receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour, we become oitizens of heaven (John i, 12; Phil, lil, < 80, R. V.). 16. "No man gave unto him." Ho ' would fain have sought to satisfy his hun- 1 rm with the swine's food, and there G* J J . was nothing better for him, for no man 1 oared for him. Those who have turned i from God to feed on the husks that this world offers are indeed in dire distress. Whether the prodigal makes us think of the sinner as one of the all who wandered through Adam's sin, or of the saved soul i who has for the time being wandered away from God, the facts are the same. i 17. "Ho came to himself." A man , must get to the end of himself before ho thoroughly comes to himself, and when he does thus come he finds hlmsolf a very poor subject. It was the thought of his Father's home and plenty contrasted with ' his own poor condition that brought him to his senses. One has said that if some one bad given him a cup of coffee and a sandwioh ho might have boon longer In ooming to him..elf. 18. "I will arise and go to my Father." The ono great separating thing between God and man is sin. "Your iniquities ' have separated botweon you nnd your God, and your 6ins have hid His face from you" (Isa. llx, 2). Tho first returning stop is a sense of our sin and a confession ( 'of the same (I John i, 9). We cannot truly say "my Father" in reforonco to God till , urn hwnmn His children: hence somo think that the prodigal represents a backsliding rather than a penitent slnnor coming to God for tho first time, but tbero are les- i sons here for each. I 19. "And am no moro worthy to be called tby son." It is an excellent thing for us when we have come to see that we are "no moro worthy;" that in us?that is, . in our flesh?dwelleth no good thing (Rom. vil, 18), for as long as we think that 1 there is a particle of good in us we cannot 1 appreciate tho Lord .Tesus as we should, i Better thoughts of Jesus, as revealed In ( the Word of God, will causo us. to 6eo our ( unworthiness. Compare Isa. vi, 6; Job xlii, 6, 6; Dan. x, 8. 20. "And he arpse and came to his fa- 1 ther." It was a good thing to say, "I 1 will arise," but it was far better to arise < and come. Many say the first who nevor 1 do the last. It was when he aroso that tho j father saw him afar off and ran to moot ] him. Jesus, who know tho father's heart so well, hore gives us a picture of His love to the erring and His wolcome for thorn when thoy return. Seo Jor. iii, 12-14; Hos. 1 xlv, 1, 2. I 21. "Father, I have sinned against i heaven and in thy sight and am no more < worthy to bo called thy sou." That was , as far as he got with what he bad thought , to say. Comparn verso 19. It is a great thing to be a servant of God and of Jesus ' Ot""lok nil* f/irH nnil ir? nnn cflnRA ten enn Dot Book anything highor, but our relationship to God is in Christ, that of obil- ; dreD and heirs (Rom. viil, 16, 17), and un- , til we see and enjoy this relationship we ( cannot well 6orvo. 83. "Bring forth the best robe and put . It on him." What a royal welcome from the father whoso love he had so slighted ' and whose possessions he had wasted. It I seems impossible, but our Lord here shows < forth the Father's heart toward every re- i turning penitent, and as we have said, , none knew the Father's heart as Jesus ( did, for He was "God manifest In the . flesh," and He could truly say, "He that , bath seen Hie bath seen the Father" (I Tim. iii, 16; John xiv, 9). i 33. "Let us eat and be merry." The ] best clothing, a token of endless love, and j abundance of food with great joy. If the j son had said, "Father, I am more thank- j ful than I can tell," it would havo only | been right, but to seo the wronged and ill , sreacea rainer snowenng sucii iuvb upuu the penitent son and to bear him say, "Let us eat und be merry," is more than human love as ordinarily seen. May we know and believe such amazing love as manifested In our Lord Jesus Christ, and hearing Him say to us the words of Canticles v, 1, lej us reply with tho words of Isa. lxl, 10. 84. "And they began to be merry." And have not finished yet, for the joy over the ponitent sinner is unending. Seo verses 7 and 10 and compare Isa. xxxv, 10, and Rev. vii, 17, ns suggestive of the eternal joys of the redeemed. But whatever wo may now know of these joys as revealed by tho Spirit we know only in part until with all the redeemed we shall see somewhat of tho breadth and length and depth and height of His love (Eph. Ill, 18, 19). j6T"Mr. Knowall (an educator)?Yea 1 children, I have told you iu most graph- I ic language the chief points in the ? study of geology.

Be kind but firm with the borse; petting is as much out of the way is abuse. Feed tbefborse out of a trough placed >n the ground ; this is not only the most natural position, but it prevents the proper elevator muscles of the shoulder becoming rigid and fixed, which by constant use of high mangers and tight reining is frequently the case. How nften do we see horses worked in towns to heavy carts or light carriages unable when turned out to grass to get their beads to the ground without setting the fore feet out wide, sometimes going 3own on both knees, or setting one leg forward with the other as far back as possible. Twelve quarts of good, clean old oats, with twenty pounds of good, clean old bay,with as prinkling of salt, is sufficient ration for an ordinary-sized horse for :>ne day. Beans are the most muscle producing food given to horses.

Never offer unsolicited advice for medication of a neighbor's sick animal; if it recovers, you have nothing to gain, and a good deal to lose if it dies. Before venturing to use or prescribe a medicine, become thoroughly acquainted with its nature and action ; better leave a sick animal alone to nature than impose blind assistance. Never buy a horse afflicted with a mucous discharge from oue or both nostrils; by general observance of this much could be done to prevent spread of glanders, in some districts. Never trot or run a horse suffering with tympantic colic, which presents s swollen appearance. Walk the ani mal slowly, or allow it to roll at pleas ure, taking care to provide a suitable place. Carrots?about one pound each morn ing, an hour before breakfast?is good for a horse troubled with worms. Val uable horses have been sacrificed bj the ignorant practice of administering medicine through the nostrils. Ground oil cake in single bandfuls at regulai intervals for all kinds of stock is a first class condition powder.

Peanuts For Consumptives.?The Journal of Hygene states that Dr. Brewer has a new idea concerning food or consumptives. His treatment consists of inhaling the fumes of vinegar ind the eating of peanuts. He gives lis patients as many peanuts as they lan eat without injuring their digestive irgans. Two young ladies, who had ieen the rounds of the doctors aud aken cod liver oil and tonics till they were nearly dead, were put on his treatment, and recovered. Concerning these cases, Dr. Brewer says : "I now reccommend feeding (do not laugh) peanuts. One would think this a very indigestible diet, but they i crave them, and it has always been my policy to find out what my patients desire to eat, and unless it is too unreasonable, I humor them. Both young , ladies have become quite plump, and : after a year's inhalations have ceased coughing, and I pronounced them well. roe peanui was long Known as an eifat producer, and much more agreeable than rancid shark oil that ofteni times is sold for cod liver oil.
