This fact alone should make people more careinl as there is no danger whatever from a cold when it is properly treated in the beginning. For many years Chamberlain's Cough le medv has been recognized as the most prompt and effectual medicine in use for this disease. It acts on nature s plan, loosens the cough, relieves the lungs, opens the secretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a1 healthy condition. Sold by The R. 1. Loryea )rug Store. DEAF TAKE POOR PICTURES. Their Inirmity Gives Them a Hard, Fixed Expression. "That isn't a good picture," said a photographer, with an air of apology. "The man was deaf." "How can that ihfirmity affect the picture?" asked a visitor. "It gives his face a tense, strained look," said the photograph*. "All deaf persons have that 'expression when placed before a camera. They sit with their heads :tilted forward and eye brows uplifted, as if waiting for the command to look pleasant. Genarally, I suppose, that is what they are wait ing for. But even after I have given the'order to brace. their muscles refuse to relix. "'What's that?' says the deaf man when he sees my lips move. " ook pleasant!' I shout again. - "'Oh!' -says he. "He takes his hand from behind his ear and tries to assume a beaming countqnnce, but he only compromises on a fixed glare. None of the de. vices known to the photographic trade can dispel that. -In fact, the more 'business' I introduce to charm my sub Ject into a joyful state the more rigid his facial muscles become. He is listen ing always for further instructions. Whether they come or not, the look of expectancy Is there. For that reason the deaf are the hardest people in the worl4 to photograph. If an artist's reputation depended upon the pictures he makes of them he would soon be obliged to go out of business."-Ex change. _ THE CAMPANERO. Sweet and Bell-like Is the Toll of This Pretty White Bird. This bird, caled dara by the South American Indians and bellbird by the English, Is about the size of a jay. His plumage is white as snow. On his fore head rises a spiral tube nearly three inches long. It is jet black; dotted all over with small white feathers. It has a communication with the palate and when filled -with air looks like a spire. When empty it becomes pendulous.

Arrow Throwing. An old English sport ?hat still sur lies from the days when the bow and rrow were in use Is that of arrow hrowing, and In parts of Yorkshire it Is stil made one of the features of ath etic meets. The arrows are straight: hafts three feet. long, without either ~arb or feather, and are thrown by the aid of a bit of string wrapped about the thrower's hand and about the butt f the arrow. A skillful man can send he arrow 150 yards, though it requires ome experilence to cause the arrow to eave the string without tangling. Once he knack is acquired the sport is said o be more fascinating than puttLig the shot or throwing the hammer. Right In Hi. Line.

Text of the Lesson, Luke it, 40-52. 3Memory Verse, 51-Golden Text, Luke i, 52-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. 31. Stearns. [Ccpyright, 1.400, by American Pre msociation.] Between the story of the wise'men of the last lesson and this one the re corded events are the flight into Egypt, the sojourn there, the return to the land of Israel, the settling down at Nazareth and the three dreams in con nection therewith, whereby Joseph was guided perfectly. These and the mas bacre of the infants are recorded in Matt. 1, 143, and attention is called to the fact that in these events at least three Old Testament predictions were fulfilled, for all Scripture must be ful filled. God always watches over His word to perform it (Jer. 1, 12). The first verse of our lesson covers all that is recorded of Jesus from Hi infancy to the age of twelve, but the four sayings are full of suggestiveness. The child fr,: "ndj ts child was "(ed mani fest in the esi." He might have come in a full grown body, such as Ie gave to Adam, but then Ee would not have been perfectly one with us, "in all points tempted like as we are" (H1eb. iv, 15), and all boys and young :men might have said: "He can't sym pathize with me, for He never was a boy. ;He was always strengthened by the Spirit, and He was the wisdom of God, 'iU-9f grace and truth" (Eph. iii, 10;- or, 1, 24; John -, 14, 17). There is a whole lesson".the-feast of the Passover," .with its sprinkled blood, the Lamb to be eaten, the bitter herbs, the unleavened bread, the great deliverance of Israel in the past and the greater deliverance which draweth nigh ZEx. xii; Jer. xxiii, 7, 8; Amos ix, 14, 13), all pointing to and depend ing upon Him who in our lesson Is the boy og twelve. Who can tell.the interest Jesus manifested in the details of the great feast, understanding it as no one else could? Is it any wonder that He tarried in Jerusalem in the temiple with these teachers of the law, listening to them and -.asking them questions (ve.r) 40), and- can we be urprised that they were astonished at His intelligence and at the answers He gave? This was a rare opportunity for Him, and He knew it; for them also, but they knew it not, for there was one in their midst whom they knew not. We cannet but be surprised that Jo seph and Mary would start. homeward without their boy. It shows the folly of supposing when we ,ought to be sure, and in all things tha.t are reveAl ed to us in this wo lege to know the j... surely believing (Luke 1 4 is a most common.ii4e% to reply when ased co'; life and the forg1vene "I hope sp;".

I know not They did not have Phil. iv, 6, 7, but hey might have known Prov. iii, 5, 8; ob xxxvl, 4; xlii, 2. Do the three ays suggest those other three days wen even to John and the other dis :ples He was a lost Messiah? For it s written, "They knew not the Scrip ture that He must rise again from the ead" (John xx, 9). When they -fnally ound Him in the temple and in amaze ent asked Him why He had treated them so and told Him of their sorrow ful search for Him His reply In verse 9 gives us His first recorded utter ne as the Son of Mary, for what He asked the rabys is not recorded. If the Revised Version Is correct, then e seems to have asked them why they did not come at once to the tem ple to, look for Him, knowing that He ould be in His Father's house. If the ordinary reading is correct, "Wist e not that I must be about My Fa ther's business or in the things of My 7ather?" what a glimpse we have of ~Is knowledge of who He was and why He had come and of the time when Hle would rise superior to all uman relationships! How striking it s that in this His first recorded utter ance and in' His last as He died on he cross He said, "Father!'? Count he number of times He used th4 name i His discourse and prayer on that Last night and you will be still more' 2nterested and, it may befind new sig,. aificance in the words, "T'our Heaven r Father knoweth," "My Father and 'our F'ather" (Matt. vi, 32: John 1,1y). "About My Father's business" would ean excellent motto for ,every child fGod at all times. The majority ire like Mary and Joseph and under stand not, but If, like Mary, we kept is sayings in our hearts and ponder d them (verses 19, 51) 'in due time we voud understand, and the water would be boiling water (Isa. lxiv, 2). "Subject unto them," or, as Weymouth translates it, "always obedIent to them," covers the next ci~teen years t Nazareth, and what a woni it is, for, as one 11as said, "Submission is the ~reatest mission on earth and te one. gret essential to either homd miens r foreign missions."

"men inl Pt- cities work twice as hard as the-farmers, and they get few or no holidays. T;ousands and thousands of professional men, clerks and men in small business enterprises delve and toil their entire lives away and at the end are earted out to the cemeteries without having had any more leisure or enjoyment in their lives than a horse on a treadmill. The rut they toil along in is as narrow as a case knife." This is not the farmer's view of the city man, whom he sees only during vaca tion, when the city mahii is taking a brief and much needed rest. The farm er sees him sporting his "glad rags" and mistakenly imagines him to be all the year round only an idle butterfly, consuming the produce of the horny handed son of toil. The truth, it Is held, is that the city man, as a rule, is the harder worker and gets much less enjoyment out of life. He longs for the rural scenes and occupations of the farmer; his dearest hope is to get back to the country to spend his last years. A few of the city folks make a big lot of money and get their follie'r ani amusements In the newskrpers, but the gr4et azfwy of city toilers live a very monotonous and stupid as well as a very laborious and poverty strick life. The farmer, it Is concluded, "the real thing," while the city man has only barren aspirations and disap pointments.
