Nehemiah's Petition For Israel. N4ehemiah i-Nov. 26 rhe effotw.5, fervent prayer of 'a Vgheus men~ eeiek muck.','-mes a', AS. SRHTRTIEN years after Esra's company returned to Jerusa lemn, Nehemiah went thither with an escort and full author y from the king of Persia to rebuild ae wall of Jerusalem and. to restore. a gates. It would appear that Ezra's I :'ormation, while vet' helpful to the eople. brought against them the vio. 'ot opposition of the- neighbors, as :.s to have been expected. The Jews, aw considerable in numbers. were ". pised by their neighbors. who wish i to drive them out of the land. The :all of the city was poor taud did not ithatand the attack. .losephus says that Nehemiah, wealthy :ad favored of the king of Persia, re 'led in the king's palace at $hushanl. It- was a pious manu and deeply inter terad in the land his fathers.

He hadly inquired uipecting the aly l a u d . the ""roer in ieeret." maly cityv, God's temple, and concern 'ia the Jews who had returned from ':;hylon. The sad'story of their trials ;.d the desolation of the city and its Saposure to enemies touched his heart netl led him to prayer. That prayer Is h1: subject of this lesson. U'tdoubtedly the recorded prayer of Seihta lah is merely i.,. epitomizd It'ient, for we read that lie Made lto 11111tr a subject of earnest prayer m-- fonr months before he reached the s 'i of itnion W here (Go)d tsed him n the fltfiulmett of his own) petition.

OIGNITY 'OF SILENCE. "When I am traveling on a railroad train," says an old editor, "and go into the smoking room, I like that stranger best who says nothing; who just sits quietly and behaves." There is a dig. Mity in silence that * charming. Not grumpishness, not sullenness-that is sot what is meant, says Columbus Dis patch. One must speak when spoken to; one should bear his share of the burden of conversation at the proper time. But the "forward," or "fresh" 'ellow whd talks to the whole smok og room full of people, in a sort of worldly widq fashion, and in raucous roice; or. the one who discusses his private affairs with ,a friend or stran ger in a tone of voice that can be teard by everyone present-that is the Individual against..whom the complaint lies. The man "who just sits quiet and behaves I" Isn't that a good way to put it? People generally behave when they are quiet; certainly there is less chance of becoming involved in unseemly conduct. The loud talker may not be vicious-in fact he is sel dom of that turn of muind-but he Isn't "behaving" when he talks too much or in too loud a voice. He isn't deporting himself with that charm which per tai to the mian who "just sits quiet ly." This country is cutting each year nearly three times as much timber ask is grown. While there is a pressing need for forest couservation, the country is practicing forest devasta tion. These facts are from the recent report of the Seciety of American Foresters, an organization of nen who seek to arouse public Interest in tree planting, and in scientitic forestry on the part of federal and state govern ments. We need not go outside of our own state to note how rapidly the trees are being butchered, says Ohio State Journal. The great areas of tine oak were long ago laid waste. The rich stores of black walnut, once so plentiful in Ohio, aire no more. Other timber, the ash, for instance, has been cut land the state's splly enormously reduced.

KING SOLOMON IN FEATHERS Raven Has ,Been Well Described by Naturalists as the Cleverest of the Bird Tribe. The literary history of the raven be. gins with Noah and Elijah. Natural. Ists call him "the most wary, the most amusig, the cleverest of birds." He * has also beena described as grave, dig. nitled and sedate and many instances have ba"n given of the peculirities of this historical bird. The haill of the raven is a formidable weapon--strong. stout, sharp at the edges, curved toward the imp. It i- his one weapon of offt 'se. but it ansswers the puriose of two or three. Like the dirk of the oldtine plainsmyn. it Is equally available as a dagger or as a carving knife. It can also be used as a pair of pincers. It can kill a rat at one blow. The raven can drive its beak right Ihrough the spines of a hedgehog. It Is said that the raven will never at. tack a moan. If this be true, it is, it is thought, not so much from any de fect of courage as from the bird's keen intellectual perception of what I will. pay and what will not. Like most of his tribe. the raven is. in the strictest sense of the word, omn-, nivorous. His dietary ranges from "a worm to a whale." Whet his nest Is built, as it, general ly Is, beneath some overhanging rock which quite conceals It from view from above, its position may sometimes be discovered by the remains of rabbit neatly laid in the short grass at the top of the cliff in what might he called his "larder." But a larder implies an amount of economy itnd self-restraint that it is not in the raven to practice. In districts where food is scarce the ravens will attack without scruple a newly born lamb or even a sheep that has been cast. The raven has a passion for solitude. He will tolerate no rival, not even his own offspring, In the neighborhood of his throne. He drives them ruthlessly away as soon as they are able to shift for themselves. He Played the Part. No matter what mother said, father always chose to argue with her. If she were going to town and told hima about the proposed trip he would be gin: "But, my dear, 1'm sure you should not until--" One day he had carried through ar argument of his usual kind when ha: ten-year-old daughter looked up from the book she was reading, "Mother," she giggled, "father is your goat, isn't he?" Mother seemed bewildered but dad laughed. "I guess I am," he agre tl. "She certainly knocks me around. - "Oh, that wasn't the reason I said that," ten-year-old demnurred,. "I said it because you are always butting in on her so mtuch." ...., - 1. Religions of the World. According to 1'9t1able statIstics and carefully-made estimates the adhen ents of the leading Christian religions number: Roman Catholies, 272,80, 000; (Greekc or Orthlodox Catholics, 120, 000; Protestants, 171,650,000; making a total of' 564,510,000 Christians. Trhe leading nlon-Christlan bodies ntimber: Confucianlts, 300,8.'10,000; Mohiami medians, 221,825,000; Hindus, 210,540, 000 ; Ani mists, 158,270,000 ; Buddhists, 138,031.000; Shlntoists, 25,000,000. If to thaese he add~ed JTews and the un ciassilied, the total non-Christians numbera 1,081,981,000, who with the Chr'istlans alke a wor'ld's popnlation of 1,046,491,000. Couldn't Stand for That. The Lawyer-Yes, you have a per. fectly good cause of action for breach of promise, and, of course, the de fendant will have the privilege of ap pearing in court and making his do tense. The Client-It he's a goin' to show up, there's nothin' doln'. I don't want to show the world what a poor fish r've hooked. flour, the best <iuality plain flour Bold in Easley. We can prove it.
