^tumorous department. Valuable Information.?The visitor at the business man's desk might have been a tramp, and he might not. In any event, he was not there asking a loan. "Do you want to know how to make a dollar?" he inquired, politely. "Yes, I'd like to know how to make several," replied the puz/.led business man. "Ynn onn sir tint, nf ennrse. VOU must know how to make one first." "That's so. Tell me how." "My information is valuable, sir. It will cost you 10 cents." "That's two beers." "Yes, sir, includiug the lunch that goes with it." "Here's two dimes. Now, tell me." "Well, sir, when a friend strikes you for $5 lend $4. Good morning, sir," and as the visitor passed out the business man remarked that it wasn't half as bad as begging a dime, anyway. A Hard Handicap.?A party of football devotees were in an elevated train, and the other passengers were much annoyed by their loud and boisterous conversation, which related entirely to the game and its players. One young fellow boasted so long and earnestly about his runniug abilities that a crusty old man in the opposite corner resolved to take some of the conceit out of the youngster. "So you think you can run a little ?" he demanded. "Bet your life I can," was the prompt reply. "I'll tell you what I'll do with you," continued the old man. "I'll race you for a $5 bill if you'll give me a yard start." "I'll go you. But where will we run ?" "Up a ladder," was the prompt reply. ? JeT" Many Episcopal bishops are in the habit of describing themselves "by Divine permission, bishop of" their diocese, in official documeuts. A cer -: "r>f Inner ntrn had occasion laiu uiouwy to send such a document to a most devout, but not highly educated, layman. There it became the duty of the layman to draw up and sign an official document relating to some church business, and noticing the phrase referred to in the bishop's paper, he thought it was incumbent upon him, also to recognize the Divine guidance. So, in entire good faith, he described himself as "John Smith, by Divine permission, grocer and dealer in all kinds of flour and feed." The paper never got iuto the archives of the church, however. Color Blindness.?Two ex-conductors of the Missouri Pacific met in the rotunda of the Grand Pacific recently and begau to discuss the reasons for their discharge. "I was fired," said one, "because I was color blind." "I didn't kuow," said the other, "that conductors were obliged to undergo the same test in regard to colors as the engineers." "They don't; but my color blindness went so far that I couldn't tell the difference between the color of the company's money and my own." ?a?" "Why, Harry," said a lady to a small boy who was cryiug in the street, "what's the matter?" "Mother whipped me!" groaned the boy. "What for ?" " 'Cause I fell iuto the river and got wet." "Well, don't you think you deserve it?" "No I don't. I came purty near gettin' drowned, and, if I had, theu wouldn't she a cried her eyes out ? And just because I didu't, and I come home a little wet, she gives me a whippin'. Next time I'll get drowned, aud teach her how to treat a fellow?boohoo !" A Household Hint.?Mrs. Molly Bigham, a newly married lady, does not know anything about housekeeping, but she is anxious to have her husband believe that there is nothing in the housekeeping line that she does not know. He happened to be in the room when the cook came and said : "Will you please gib me out de coffee? De water is been a bilin' dis last half hour." "Let the water boil, Matilda," replied Mrs. Bigham, calmly; "the longer it boils the stronger it will be." JDSF An eastern drummer who was in Knoxville, listened to the complaints of a mountaiuer about hard times for 10 or 15 minutes, aud then observed : "Why, man, you ought to get rich shipping greeu corn to the northern market." "Yes, I orter," was the reply. "You have the land, I suppose, and can get the seed?" "Yes." "Then why don't you go into the speculation ?" "No use, strauger." sadly replied the native ; "the women is too darned lazy to do the plowing aud planting." Testing Their Motives.?Sweet girl?Papa, I wish you'd lock up your money and pretend to fail; there's a good old dear. It ueedu't last more than a week or two, and there are so many failures now no one will fiud fault. Father?Of all things! Wha? Sweet girl?Oh, it's all right. You see, I'm engaged to nine young men, and I've got to get rid of at least eight of them, somehow. 5&?Miss Sophronsby Waddlesworth, aged 25, was reading the fashion notes, and when she struck the paragraph, "Babies are fashionable this season," she fainted dead away, and remained unconscious 15 minutes. It was all the fault of the intelligent compositor. The item should have read : "Rubies are fashionable this season." Something of a difference, you will observe, though both are dear little things. The Last Chance.?Kliza and Jane were two old maid friends, and Jane broke the bond by marrying. Her husband was conspicuously homely, and the first time Kliza met Jane she said, scornfully : "(food gracious, Jane, why didn't you marry a monkey and be done with it?" "Ok !" smiled Jane, sweetly, "I thought you might like to marry sometime, and I didn't want to take your last chance."

LESSON IX, SECOND QjARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, MAY 29. Text of the Lesson, Math, xxvl, 17-30. Memory Verses, 26-28?Golden Text, I Cor. xl, 26?Commentary by the Rev. D. 31. Stearns. [Copyright, 1898. by D. M. Stearns.] 17. "Now tho first day of the foaat of unionvcneu Drcua tne uiscipies cnmu tu Jesus, saying unto Him, Where wilt Thou that we prepare for Thee to eat the passover?" This was of all passovors the greatest, far it was the last, the consummation and fulfillment of all that had ever boon. Ho said concerning this one, "I have heartily desired to oat this passovor with you before I suffer" (Luke xx, 15, margin). And Ho also added that it would have a fulfillment in tho kingdom of Qod. The first passovcr was in connection with tho deliveranco of Israel from Egypt. The still future fulfillment will bo in connection with a far greater deliverance of Israel, so much greater that the former shall not seem worth mentioning (Jor. xvi, 14, 15; xxiii, 7, 8). May tho "Where wilt thou?" of tho disciples, with tho "What wilt thou?" of Paul (Acts lx, 6) bo ever our attitude to Him. 18. "And Ho said, Go into tho city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; 1 will keep the passover at thy houso with My disciples." In Luke xxli, 10, we loarn how they would know tho houso and find the man. They would meet a man bearing a pitcher of water, and following him they would find tho house. 19. "And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed thorn, and they mado roady tho passover." In Luko xx, 13, it is written that they went and found as Ho had said unto them. So it was also in tho matter of the ass' colt (Luke xix, 82); they found even as He had said unto them. In John iv, 50, the man believed tho word that Josub had spoken unto him, and ho went his way, and the sequel shows that he found just as Jesus hud said. 80. "Now, when tho oven was come, He sat down with the twelve.'' It would bo interesting to consider tho preparations which they made and tho significance of each item. Let tho teachor tako time to refer back to the institution of tho feast in Ex. xii, and show how tho Lamb, kopt four days and then slain, a lamb without blemish; the bitter herbs, tho unleavened bread, the sprinkled blood, aro all so full of significance as typical of Christ our Passover sacrificed for us (I Cor. v, 7). 21. "And as they did oat ho said, Verily I soy unto you, that one of you shall betray me." Thcro were only 12, the innermost circle of His followers, and yet Ho says "one of you." But it was no surprise to Him, for .Jesus know from tho boginning who they were that believed not and who should betray Him. 22. "And they were oxcceding sorrowful, ond began every one of them to say unto Him, Lord, is It I?" No hint had He ever given them of tho true character of Judos, and well hud Judas concealed from them what ho really was. Instead of suspecting any one they each ask, "Lord, is it I?" What a wonderful Saviour to have such a ono in His company all that tiino and never tell the othors. 23. "And He answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with Me in the dish, tho same shall betray Me." John xiii, 20, says that Josus dipped the sop and gave it to Judas Iscariot. When those who have been our friends, or at least liavo professed to be our friends, turn uguinst us and bocome our enemies, it is a most trying thing, but it is blessed fellowship with Jesus, for as He was treated wo must oxpect to bo. 24. "The Son of Man gooth as it is writton of Him. But woo unto that man by whom tho Son of Man is betrayed. It had beun good for that man if ho had not been born." It was all foroseon and foreknown, even as tho apostles said concerning tho treatment of our Lord by Herod and Pontius Pilate, and tho gentilos, and tbo peoplo of Israel, they only did what God's hand and counsel dotermlnod before to bo dune (Acts iv, 27, 28), but that did not in the least lessen their guilt. His knowing that it would bo done did not compel them to do it. Unloss there is an indiscribubly fearful future for the dospisers of our Lord, His words in this verso have no significance; but soo Job xxxvi, 18; Rev. xxi, 8. 25. "Then Judas, which betrayed Him, 1 AI nefn. If. TV Mo UIia?t'lCU miu OUiU, .LfAUOVW*, *0 * W *| XV said unto him, Thou hast said." Accordlug to Jobu xiii, 27, 3D, Jesus also 6aid, "Thut thou docst, do quickly." And Judas went immediately out, and It was night. And it is still night with him who botrayed his Master, the blackness of darkness forever, and thero is no escape. 26. "And as they were eating Jesus took bread und blessed it, and broko it, and gave it to the disciples, und said: Take, eat. This is My body." The pnssover being fulfilled, or about to bo, but not for tho national benefit of Israel at that time because they knew not the time of their visitation and would not have their Messiah. Ho institutes a new ordinance, to continue till He shall come aguin. 27, 28. "And Ho took tho cup and gave thanks, and gavo it to them, saying, Drink yo all of it, for this is My blood of the new testumont, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." When Ho suid, "I am tho door," or "I am tho true vine," or "I am the bread of life," He certainly would not suppose that any one would think that He was un actual door or vine, und so hero it is beyond thought that He would have us consider the bread und wine as His actual body and blood, but they represent His body given for us to the deuth on the cross and His blood poured out for us. 29. "But I say unto you, I*will not drink henceforth of this fruit of tho vine until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom." Luke xxii, 18, says, "Until the kingdom of God 6hall come." In Luke xxii, 29, 30, He speaks of His own kingdom und of tho apostles eating and drinking ut His table in His kingdom und sitting on thrones judging tho 12 tribes of Israel. From I Cor. xv, 24-28, it seoms that His kingdom shall precede that of God tho Father, and yet we sbull probably find that both are 006 ID (llHOrOIiCi BlUgCS. v/ii uiut cx?iuu night He suit] that He had given to His people the glory which the Futhor had given Him, und thut Ho was desirous to show it to us. In Rev. xx, 6, it is said we ihull reign a thousand years, and in Rev. xxi, 6, that we shall reign forever and ever. As in last lesson, so again we rejoice that wo shull ho "ever with the Lord," and then wo shull fully know. Aro we heartily ono with Him now in His great desire to gather out His bride and hasten tho murriugo of the Lamb? 8(J. "And when they had sung an hymn they went out into tho ilount of Olives."

SUMMER PRUNING. With all varieties of trees more or less pruniug is necessary iu order to secure a proper growth and shape. Just how much pruning shall be given can be determined only by the growth and thrift of the tree and the shape and form desired by the owner. There lire sr> rnnnv varvimr conditions under which the work must be done that no set of rules can be laid down. The judgment of the owner must largely determine how and when to prune. Pruning when the tree is dormant helps the growth. Pruning during growth tends to check it, and with thrifty, growing trees this is often desiruble in order to make an even development of roots and top. Trees should always be pruned when they are transplanted, cutting back the tops in proportion to the roots. Then, from this on, annual pruning can nearly always be given. One decided advantage in annual pruning is that the necessity for the removal of large limbs is avoided and a better shaped tree can be secured. As the tree grows it can be shaped as desired, with very little work aud much more satisfactorily than if the tree is allowed to grow its own way for several years and then an attempt made to prune it into proper shape. Annual summer pruning has the advantage of discarding the use of the knife and saw, for nearly or quite all the pruning necessary can be given with the thumb aud finger, aud rubbing or piuching oft' the undesirable growth. The work can be done easily aud rapidly, aud the nutriment that would otherwise be wasted in growing aud maturing branches that will need to be removed later will be diverted into other channels. It is a good plan to go over the tree two or three limes during the summer and give such pruning as seems necessary in this way. With small fruits this plan of pruniug is especially good. With raspberries, pinching oft' the ends of the growing canes after a proper height has been reached, not only keeps them under control better, but induces throwing out of more laterals and will nearly always cause a stockier growth. Grapevines, aud, in fact, all varieties of small fruits can be pruned during the summer to good advantage, and in nearly all cases with better results than at any other time.?St. Louis Republic. SST Cut this out and save it during the summer, when the festive fly appears. When be comes aguiu mix equal parts by measure of resin and castor oil, and when the mixture is made by melting the resin, stirring thoroughly one minute, put it away to cool, when it is ready. Spread it on some kind of paper that will not absorb it easily, such as manilla or foolscap, leaving a margin around the edge of the paper, so it cau be handled without difficulty, and it is ready for the fly to get his feet tangled iu, as he will surely do. Place these sheets ubout the house wherever the flies intrude. For getting those on the outside, take several pieces of strawboard, cut holes in them about the size of a nickel, on the underside of the strawboard spread some molasses, and place them over a receptacle contain ing soapsuds. The flies will be attracted by the sweetness on the underside, and will fall into the suds and drown. Facts About Wagon Roads.? Some one lias estimated that we have roads in this country, 1,500,000 miles in length, over which are hauled every year 500,000,000 tons of material, the average haul being eight miles, at a cost of $2 per ton, which makes the total cost of hauling reach the enormous sum of $1,000,000,000. It is urged that with good roads the hauling would cost only 80c. per ton instead of $2, thus making a saving of $600,000,000 per year, which is onefourth the value of all the farm products of the country used on the farms. It is, therefore, cheaper to expend a sufficient fund at once to put roads in good condition than to attempt to repair them every year. Best Way to Make Lemonade.? The best lemonade is made by boiling sugar and water together and adding the lemon juice after it is cold. Use one pound of sugar to each quart of water; add the juice of six lemons and the desired quantity of water at serving time. Pineapple lemonade may be made by boiling together one quart of water, one pound of sugar and the grated rind of one lemou for five minutes. Strain ; when cold, add the juice of six lemons, one pineapple pared and picked into very small particles, and either a quart of water or a quart of Apollinaris water.?Ladies' Home Journal. Self Help In Case of Fire.?As a house is never attacked by fire at the top and bottom at once, if there is a safe and ready exit at both top and bottom, very little dauger to life is to be feared. It is important that all exits should be so known as to be easily found, by day or night, by every inmate of the house. If the clothes you have on catch fire, a blanket, rug, or some such woolen article should be quickly and tightly wrapped around you. Air is thus excluded and the lire goes out. Prevention Against Borers.? The injuries of the apple tree borer may be prevented by applying late in May or early in June, and twice later at intervals of three weeks, a stroug solution of soft soap to which has been added a little crude carbolic acid. It will be made more effective and permanent by the addition of a small amount of paris green and lime. A paint made of pure wtme lean ami linseed oil has also been found to produce excellent results. Fast Walking Horses.?A horse trained to walk fast, whether he be for the saddle, single harness or team, always commands a better price than one equally good in other respects, but a slow walker. i The bruised leaves of a geraui- ] urn are an excellent application for cuts and other wounds of the kind.

IS the strongest exclusively fire insurance company in the world, and with all its financial strength, it is neither overbearing or contentious; but to the contrary its liberality is proverbal among its patrons and insurance people, and its adjustment of losses are always satisfactory. The -Etna has been before the insuring public for 85 years and in that time has paid out over EIGHTY-FOUR MILLION DOLLARS in fire losses and now has cash assets to the amount of over $12,089,098.00 1 I have six companies in my agency, all of whom are old, strong and fire-tested and no one can give you better protection, or lower prices than I. In the Rock Hill fire recently, only four companies in my agency were interested ; but these losses have long since been Daid and the money is now figuring in the rebuilding of the burned district: The ..Etna's loss, ?(>,827 00 The Continental's loss 0,100 00 The Delaware's loss, 3,500 00 Norwich Union, 5,300 00 Total $21,737 00 Now the thing to do, if you have not already done it, is to insure your property against loss by tire. A small policy for a fourth of its value is better than no insurance at all. See me and let us talk the matter over, I will appreciate your business and give it my best attention. There is one thing, however, that the public should be cautious of, and that is the many "wildcat" companies that are doing business in this territory, whose indemnity contracts are not worth the paper they are written on, and which will require only one tire loss to demonstrate the fact. My companies are business enterprises of the highest class and standing and since the indeminity they offer is the verv best, they do not seek to impress you with the idea that they aro so philanthropic that they will indemnify you against loss at a less cost than experience dearly bought has taught them that it is worth. My companies are now carrying polices on much of the most valuable property in the county aud as agent, I would be glad to issue you a policy. I also write Accident and Tornado Insurance. L. GEO.

SEVEN YEARS ago, Mr. W. Holme Hardin, of Chester county, enjoye the distinction of being one of the mo; practical and successful farmers in th Piedmont section, and according to th best information at hand he still rank among the first. The appended endorse ment of the Corbin Disk Harrow wa written by him in March, 1890, and win he said then we are sure he will endors now. Read it and do some thinking: Chester, S. C., March 27,1890. Sam M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dea Sir: I have owned a Corbin Disk Harrow for several years, and consider it the mos useful and economical farming imple inent of which I have any knowledge Mr. Corbin has done more for tho farme than all the politicians, reformers, etc, combined. He has done something prae tical. No fanner can fail to be benefittei by the use of the Harrow, and the more i is used the greater tho benefit or profil It is almost the only so-called improve* farming implement that I have ever seei that would do all its manufacturers claim ed for it, and the only one that would di more. Every farmer should have one and a man who is able to buy fertilizer for his land is more able to buy a Corbii Disk Harrow. The time will come whei the Corbin Disk Harrow will be consider ed as much of a necessity on the farm a the wagon, sewing machine, cookini stove, and I might say, the plow ; and th sooner it comes the better lor the farmer Tt only takes a farmer, who has been ac customed to the old way of doing things about one hour to realize how much tim and labor he has literally wasted befor he used the Corbin Harrow. In conclu sion, let mo say that I would not preteiu to farm without it. Respectfully, W. Holmes Hardin. We sell the GENUINE CORBIN DIS1 IIA RROW. It has never had a success ful rival. If you want a so-called Spad ing or Cutaway, we can furnish you on made by the manufactures of the Corbin Tho Corbin has solid disks and they ar the best; but as stated we can furnish th other if you prefer to take the opinion o someone who has had less experience thai we, and will furnish the best harrow o that pattern on the market. It's median Su iriaiiftiiiillir tlui uUtna uc Mia forllill the only difference being in tiio disks. CRIST CPUS INS. J. F. I.ISDSAY. T. It. V\ ROTH HUH LINDSAY CAKOTHKUS. Physicians.
