A LOYAL CLANSMAN. ~
The MacLean was being examined
by his pastor prior to bis being admitted
to the kirk. It should be noticed
here that the MacLean held one Article
of Belief, not insisted upon dogmatically
by any theologian, the MacLean
excepted, and this was that bis
clan was the most ancient in Scotland,
and, consequently, in the world. By
and by they plunged into the Deluge.
" 'In the selfsame day entered Noah,
and Shem, and Ham, and Japhetb,
the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife,
and the three wives of his sons with
them, into the ark,' " quoted the
minister.
" 'And all flesh died?' "
"Na," interrupted the MacLean,
positively, "there was ane ither na
droond."
"The record is explicit, mr. j?ac
Lean," argued the minister, stifly.
"No one was saved but those who
went into the ark."
"There was ane ither," asserted the
MacLean, imperturbably.
"What do you mean, MacLean?"
demanded the minister, explosively.
"Whom do you mean?"
"I dinna richtly ken his given name,"
explained the MacLean, cautiously,
"but yon mon was a MacLean."
"Tut, tut, man," expostulated the
minister. ".You very well know that
no MacLean went into the ark; so,
granting that a MacLean existed, how
could he have been saved ?"
"Hoot, mon, minister," retorted the
MacLean, disdainfully, "but ye iver
ken a MacLean who didna own his
ane boat?"?Truth.
Got Acquainted By Degrees.?
Bishop Curtis (Roman Catholic,) formerly
of Wilmington, Del., says that
he once went on a yachting cruise,
wearing a rough yachting costume.
An Irishman, observing him changing
his clothes as the boat drew near shore,
and discovering that he wore scapulars,
said, in a rather gratified tone,
"Oh, I see that you are a Catholic."
The bishop nodded and said, indifferently,
"Oh, yes; I am a Catholic."
- * i i ?. a
The man continued to waicn mm, auu
he gravely put on his Roman collar.
"Oh !" said the Irishman, "I see you
are a priest." The bishop, who had
difficulty in maintaining his gravity,
answered, "Yes, I am a priest." The
man fixed his eyes upon him with
more interest than ever, and Bishop
Curtis then proceeded to put on his
purple scarf. The Irishman started
with astonishment, and exclaimed,
"Why, I see you are a bishop !" The
bishop, said, quie.tly, "Yes, I am Bishop
Curtis;" and the man fell on his
knee and asked the bishop's blessing.?
Messenger.
He Remedied It.?They are telling
a story about town of a certain elderly
man from the south who is newly
come to town and a young woman
who lives at an H street hotel. She
is famous for her beautiful shoulders,
a and commonly wears her evening
gowns cut in the off-shoulder fashion,
with the merest pretense of a sleeve.
She went out to dinner a week or so
ago, escorted by the elderly gentle,
man, who is an old friend of the
family. He called for her, and awaited
her in the parlor of the family
hotel where she lives. She was in
full war paint.
"How do I look?" she asked, archly,
as she came into the parlor.
The elderly gentleman looked vaguely
troubled.
"Lovely, my dear; lovely," he said,
"but there, allow an old man to remedy
your maid's carelessness. Your
gown has slipped off your shoulders."
Whereupon he yanked the pretense
of a sleeve up over the young woman's
shoulder. The joke ot id is mai oe
hadn't an idea that he wasn't doing
her a real service.?Washington Post.
Breaking the News Gently.?
The doctor came into the room rub'
bing his hands and smiling. "Everything
all right?" asked the man, who
was anxiously waiting for him. "Could
not do better," returned the doctor.
"Good," said the man, with a sigh of
relief. Then when he saw that tbe
doctor intended to s4y nothing more,
he asked, with some hesitation, "Er?
ah?boy or girl?" The doctor stopped
rubbing his hands and looked a
trifle uneasy, as if the task before him
were not just to his liking. "Well,"
he said, at last, "you'll need a tandem
wheel for it."
IS?" The witty remarks of Judge
Craig Biddle, if gathered together,
would fill a good-sized volume, says
the Philadelphia Record. Here is a
good one gotten off by him recently
while sitting in the Quarter Sessions
court: A German juryman asked to
be excused from serving on the jury.
"Why?" asked the judge. "Well,
your honor, I don't understand good
fncriieh " "Oh. vou will do." replied
the judge. "You won't hear much
good English here, anyhow." Amid a
general laugh the juryman sat down.
86T Several men were arguing about
the difference between a lunatic and a
fool in the police station in Scbenectada,
N. Y., when Dr. S. entered. "Doctor,
what is a lunatic?" asked one of
the disputants. "A man who knows a
great deal, but is not able to tell it."
"What is a fool ?" asked another.
"A man who knows nothing, and tells
it immediately," replied the doctor.
86T "There is one thing about a
farm," said the granger-looking man
from Guthrie Centre, "that isn't improved
by consolidation." "And what
is that?" asked the young man from
Adair. "Post holes, young man," said
the old party, oracularly. "Post holes;
they ain't good for nothin' ef ye run
'em together or bunch 'em."

one kept me awake all night," growled
the bachelor boarder. "I suppose it I
is annoying," said the sympathetic
landlady, "but you must remember,
Mr. Cross, that you were a baby once
on a time yourself." "Mebbe I was,"
growled the bachelor boarder; "but I
hoped I had succeeded in living it

SERIES, JAN. 17.
lext of the lesson. Acts It, 88-47?Memory
Verses, 88. 39?Golden Text, Acts U,
"39?Commentary by the Rev. D, M.
Stearns.
82. "This Jesus hath God raised np,
whereof we all are witnesses." The man
who had with oaths and curses so cowardly
denied Him is the ono who is choeen by
the Spirit to be His mouthpiece to this
multitude. Being filled with the Spirit
takes away all thought of self and all fear
of man. He first quotes from Joel ii,
28-82, and says hero is a fulfillment of the
words of that prophet. He then speaks of
Jesus of Nazareth and the wonders
wrought by God through Him, and openly
nhairwui f.Hnm wlt-.h Hln death. He then
quotes from the words of David in Pa xvi
concerning His resurrection and continues
in the words of this first verse of our lesson.
83. Before He died Ho said that He was
going back to the Father who had sent
Him, and that Ho would send down from
heaven the Holy Spirit, whom they now
saw and heard in these disciples (John xvi,
6-8). Here, then, was the evidence that
Jesus of Nazaroth was really the one He
professed to be, and not an impostor or
blasphemer. Here was the evidence that
He whom they crucified was now alive
from the dead and actually in heaven.
84, 86. David did not rise from the
dead. He did not speak of his own resurrection
in Ps. xvi, but of Him of whom he
6aid in Ps. cx, 1, "TheLord said unto my
Lord, Sit thou on My right hand until I
make thy foes thy footstooL " David, as
to his spirit, is certainly in glory, but his
body still sloeps in the dust of the earth.
86. Peter, therefore, by the Spirit, insists
that the very some Jesus whom they crucified
God has raised from the dead add
taken to His own right hand, thus making
Him Lord and Christ and declaring
?llm to DC trie long promised son ui o?viu
to Bit on David's throne, and the Son of
Abraham in whom all the promises to the
fathers are to be fulfilled.
87. The Spirit, by His words through
Peter, took hold of their hearts, convinced
them of their Bin and led them to cry out,
"Men and brethren, what shall we do?"
There was no urging on the part of Peter
that they should come forward to the penitent
bench, or raise their hands for prayer,
or sign a card declaring their intention to
lead a new life, however helpful these
methods may sometimes be.
88. When Jesus was on one occasion
asked, "What shall we do?" His answer
was. "Believe on Him whom God hath
sent" (John vi, 28, 20). Peter says, by the
same Spirit, "Repent and bo baptized,"
which is another way of saying, "Believe.
" To believe that Jesus was their
Messiah would bo a complete chungc of
mind or repentance on their part, and to
be baptized in His namo would be the outward
confession that they hud received
Him. To receive Him ivould secure the
forgiveness of all their sins (John i, 12; I
John ii, 12).
89. The promise is to all who will come
that they shull in no wise be cust out (John
vi. 871. There were some illustrations of
houschc Ids ' 3iug saved, us in Gen. vil, 1;
xvlli, 10; xix, 12; Joshua ii, 18. He ca'ls
all who hear and bids them oomo withe it.
money and without price. The God who
sought out and restored Adam and Eve,
who sent angels to rescue Lot and his
family, who pleaded so earnestly with
backsliding Israel (Jer. ill, 18, 14), is our
God and the same unchangeable Jehovah.
40. Perhaps some of the "many other
words" He used might bo found in Isa. i,
18; xliii, 25; lv, 8, 4; Ezek. xxxvi, 20, for
those are the Spirit's own words to sinners.
Peter did not think to save tho generation
or race of Jews, but He did expect, liko
Paul, to save 6ome of them (I Cor. ix, 22).
41. Roceiving His word, they received
Him and thus became children of God
(John i, 12; vi, 03; xvil, 8; Jus. i, 21).
Being baptized, they confessed Him and
had the assurance that He would confers
them before tho Father (Math, x, 82). But
think of 8,000 doing sol Would not some
evangelists be tempted to make a demo istratiou
over that? Whoever heard of such
u result from ono se-mon? This was the
Lord's doing and must have been marvelous
in their eyes.
42. " The}' continued steadfastly,"?that
is, they believed firmly, forthero is no other
way to be established. Compare II
Chron. xx, 20, with Isa. vii, 9. This verso
seems to say that they were instructed.
They talked with each other of these
things, especially of Him. They commemorated
His death. They were much in
prayer. How sorry they would be that they
had not received Him sooner! How they
would long for His return, and with what
zeal thoy would testify of Him!
43. The woudors and signs wrought by
the apostles would doubtless be on the lino
of Mark xvi, 17-20, and being such as Ho
Himself wrought when Ho was on earth
would udd to their testimony that Ho was
still alive, though Invisible, and had all
power in heaven and on earth. It was tho
Lord working with them and confirming
the word with signs following (Mark xvi,
20).
44. One great family bound together by
His love to them, and their love to Him
and to each other, having a great desire to
please Him and that others might receive
Him too. They doubtless believed that all
He had was theirs and thus were drawn
to share all they had with each other. The
Spirit controlled all, und it was a foretaste
of heaven upon the earth.
45. Earthly possessions lost their attraction;
they were no use except as they
could use them for Him by spending them
upon His who were in need. The Spirit
of Him who though He was rich, yet for
our sakes became poor, hud taken hold of
them, and they counted nothing so procious
us His love, and the privilege of showing
some love to Him The first gave their
own selves to the Lord (II Cor. viii, 5),
und then to each other by the will of God.
The same spirit today would fill the treasuries
of the mission boards and put many
workers in the field.
40. With one uccord, with gladness and
singleness of heart. This described their
daily life of service unto Him whom they
hod received as Saviour and coming King.
It is the third time we huve met the phrase
"With one accord." See i, 14; il, 1.
47. Praising God is a good way to draw
people unto Him, and thus they will be
added ?o the church. In chapters v, 14;
ii, 24, wo read of people being added to
the Lord, una that is the only real uuamon
tiiat will stand. Thus they ore truly
udded to the church which is the body of
Christ People may be added to the membership
of a church without being added
to the Lord, but if they bocome a purt of
Christ by faith in Ilixu they ore then a pore
of the church, and It matters little what
denomination they belong to. Tho Lord
fill us with H1b Spirit to serve Him with
gladness and singleness of heart.
Bfc#* He has the hardest work who
has nothing to do.

upright than to be brilliantly dishonest.

HOUOGKAPHS.
A straw stack is a very unfavorable
place for a sick bog.
To prevent hog cholera the essentials
are good food, pure water, and
clean, dry quarters.
It will pay to cook the small potatoes
before feeding them to the hogs ;
the hogs will thrive better, and the
potatoes go farther.
The sows will have more pigs and
do better if kept thin. About two
weeks before farrow, give plenty of
milk-producing food, and feed them
well while suckling.
Mother sows require more than twice
as much food as other bogs when the
pigs are three weeks old, and if they
do not have it, both the sows and pigs
will suffer. While there must be caution
at first, the rule is to feed the
brood sows liberally.
Cleanliness in feeding will increase
the use of our pork and pork products
in both our home and foreign markets,
where quality counts against mere
quantity of fat and mud flavored meat.
Neither does it take an epicure to detect
the difference.
There is more than one reason why
we should strive to procure a large percentage
of lean in our pork ; perhaps
the most important is that we may increase
the consumption of our pork,
while one almost as-important is that
it enables us to increase the vigor and
stamina of our herds.
Hogs should possibly not have access
to ponds or wallows, for these afford
most favorable conditions for the
development of disease germs. The
drinking water should be from deep
wells. The same rule as with human
beings; and the food should be clean
and fed in clean vessels or upon clean
floors.
There is a positive must in feeding
the hogs something more bulky and
less concentrated than corn, if the
feeder expects to keep them in a healthy
condition for any great length of time.
There is nothing better or cheaper
than pumpkins to feed with corn, and
when thus fed, they will fatten faster
than when upon corn only.
That swine should be allowed to

water, is so opposed to cominou
sense that it is a wonder it did not
long ago become an abhorrent custom.
Though not fully appreciated, balf the
cases of hog cholera would be avoided
were our herds supplied with pure
water from the pump or the brook.
Prof. Henry of the Wisconsin Experiment
station, finds that cabbages
have a good deal of value?more than
potatoes or turnips?as a swine feed,
especially in the early part of the
fattening period. The cabbage is
largely used in England for feeding
both.hogs and sheep. It is found to
be an excellent addition to a grain
ration, as it aids digestion and prevents
"cloying" when grain is being
fed heavily.
Salt For Fruit Trees.?In your
Fruit Grower, a correspondent asks in
regard to salt for pears and other kinds
of trees. Let me tell of a sea captain
who always had beautiful pears, while
his neighbors could not raise auy ; ou
being questioned in regard to the matter,
replied: "I salt 'em." Salt is
one of the best fertilizers known. I
have used it many years on all kinds
of trees and on my garden. Put it on
so thick that it looks like a fall of
snow. I have just salted my trees
and currants. Twenty years ago I
planted pear trees, and one Bartlett
would blossom full a perfect mass of
white, but no fruit for fou'* years, and
then I applied the salt, four quarts
spaded in, and since then it has been
au enormous bearer. The best fertilizer
for peach trees is urine. The best
place for a peach tree is planted by
a sink drain or pear tree. I have the
? . - i*?j L.
early ana late urawioru eacu muo ui
my drain, 25 feet high, that can't be
beaten for fruit. Use salt liberally,
and you kill thousands of insects and
the white grubs which are so destructive
to the strawberry plant. Many
farmers here use tons of salt on their
fields with great results. It is cheap,
easily applied and no danger in the
use. It is a great retainer of moisture.
I apply it bountifully among
ray Cuthbert raspberries, it keeps the
ground moist and does not produce
weed seeds.?William H. H., in Fruit
Grower.
Whipping Balky Horses.?Notwithstanding
the fact that the press
continually admonishes whom it may
concern that it does no good to whip
or pound a balky horse, almost every
owner or driver of one does it today.
It is probably the greatest piece of
horse folly in existence, declares The
National Stockman. It is not a remnant
of barbarism, but it is continued
barbarity, and brings out what original
sin there is in a man.
Tbe brain of a horse can retain but
one idea at a time. If tbe idea is to
sulk, whipping only intensifies it. A
change of that idea, then, is tbe only
successful method of management.
This may be accomplished in scores of
ways, a few of which are here named :
Tie a handkerchief about his eyes;
tie his tail to the bellyband or the
backhand ; fasten a stick iu his mouth ;
tie a cord tightly about his leg; clasp
his nostrils and shut his wind off until
he wants to go ; unhitch him from the
vehicle, and then hitch him up again,
or almost anyway to get his mind on
something else.
Whipping or scolding always does
harm. The treatment should always
be gentle. There are more balky drivers
than horses.
Vai.uk ok Hkn Manure.?A Ken
tucky poultry man carefully preserved
and wieghed the manure from his
flock. He got an average of 65 pounds
per bird during the year, au<} analysis
showed that this 65 pouuds of droppings
contained two pounds of nitrogen
and one and a third pounds each of
potash and phosphoric acid, all worth
50 cents in the fertilizer market. As
he got only the manure dropped at
night, he concludes that each hen
produces a dollar's worth of manure in
a year if she runsjunder plum or peach
trees. In that case her manure will
pay for her food, and her products
will be clear profit,

t ten ding to ine matter 01 Buoscnuiug at me
iroper time. It is this fact that makes It eslecially
desirable for us, just at this time, to
ecurethe. services of a large number of intelIgent
and energetic assistants, and to make it
forth their while to give the matter their
ttention, we are making the liberal offers
fhlch we will presently explain.
The price of a single subscription one year
b TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual
rho does not give his naipe to a clubmaker;
>ut sends it direct to this office. In clubs,
lowever. the price Is only ONE DOLLAR
1ND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
>r1ce which the subscriber pays theclubmaker,
>nd the price which, under all circumstances,
icisexpected to pay us. Now to our propoltlons:
THREE BIG PREMIUMS.
This year we offer three hlg premiums. One
B a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR BUGGY.
Another is a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR ORr
JAN. and the third Is a FIFTY DOLLAR
VAGON. The Buggy will go to the clubmaker
rho gets up the largest list of subscribers, new
ind old. The Wagon will go to the clubmaker
vho geta*up the second largest list, new and
Id;and the Organ will go to the clubmaker
vhose total list shall show up the largest
lumber of NEW NAMES. Theorgan contest,
lowever, will be separate and distinct from
he other contest, in that the winner of thiB
iremlum will still have the right to count his
intire club, including both old and new
tames, in the contest for the Buggy or Wagon.
To be more explicit. It is possible that the
ilubmaker who gets the Organ, may also be
he winner of either the Wagon or the Buggy,
t is also possible that the Organ may be won
vith less than 20 names, together with one
>f the smaller premiums.
FULL PREMIUM LIST.
But this is not all. In addition to the prenlums
offered for the LARGEST ANDSEC)ND
LARGEST CLUBS, and the largest club
>f NEW SUBSCRIBERS, we also offer other
valuable premiums for a given number of sub(cribers.
This, it will be seen, ensures that the
slubmaker who starts out for one of the larger
dubs and foils short, will not foil to be paid
br his time and trouble. Here Is the list in
till, followed by the conditions below :
$75.00 BUGGY.
To the clubmaker who returns the lanrest
lumber of names, will be awarded the BEST
BUGGY manufactured by the Carolina Bugjy
Company of Yorkvllle, S. C., for $75.00.

manufactured to order at the option of the
inccessful Clubmaker.
$50.00 WAGON.
To the clubmaker who returns the second
argest number of names will be awarded a
iVHITE HICKORY TWO HORSE WAGON,
ralued at $50. The wagon is the equal in
ivery respect of any other to be bought at the
irice named.
575.00 "LA BELLE" ORGAN.
For the largest club of NEW SUBSCRIBERS
ve will give one WlJ.eOX & WHITE ORiAN,
known as "La Belle," and worth $75.00.
This is the same instrument that is being sold
>y Mr. Geo. T. Schobb, and which is giving
uch perfect satisfaction to all who have purchased
it. It has five octaves, two complete
ets of reeds and octave couplers, and nine
tops. The case is of black walnut, ornamentd
with bevel plate mirror, and in tone, worknanship
and durability, the instrument is
qual to any reed organ ever sold on this market.

tool, for which there will be no charge.

them. After a clubmaker has returned and
paid for any name, he can, at anytime thereafter,
discontinue the sending of the paper to

desired was not a subscriber at the time the
original name was entered on our books.
