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." 86?" "That yelling Smithers young 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 down."

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.

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 AirtM n/vAta nf Dt Q OT_ 3IQUIV tiiCll tUliOU 11UUJ ^/UViO vi ovi*^uant 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, I I Reading a book 1 jw Won't tell you about your health. i?
