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 }

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

them in stock only two days." "I (
didn't think they were, because the ]

can question. The boy asked more
questions in five minutes than Solo- '
mon could answer in five years. At
last, after he had asked everything he ]
could think of, from the science of i
navigation to the cultivating of coffee, 1
he put the question, "Papa who was <

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.
