LAND OF THE DRACON.
ncllef Id TliH Unsightly Creature 1*
General Id China.
In China the belief in dragons is general.
There are good and bad dragons
in that land, and while it is easy togain
a dragon's favor, it is Just as easy
to irritate him. Some dragons live underground.
Others fly in the air. Thus ,
earthquakes are caused by underground
dragons moving themselves
tempestuously. Eclipses are caused by
aerial dragons, wherefore tireworKS are
set off and gongs are beaten to frighten
them. The overflowing of rivers Is
imputed to a specially bad dragon
named Kiao. One of the oldest Chinese
books, the Calendar of the Hla. recommends
In cases of inundation that the
authorities organize a hunt through
the country to discover and capture the
^ dragon. They always find him. They
a rroot iifoirnTi Qtorv of the Dres*
nt young Emperor. Some time ago
-tfcere were drouth aud famine in an important
section of the north. As, in
apite of many processions in his honor, ]
the dragon continued to withhold the
lain, the indignant Emperor at last
hurled a thundering edict condemning j
him to perpetual exile along the shores
of the river Hi, in the province of Torgot.
Officials had started to find the
dragon and execute the sentence upon
him, when the latter, with touching
resignation, sent word?they do not say
how?that he had started already for
the desert of Tartary. Such an example
of obedience " melted the heart'* of
the Pekin Supreme Court. The solemn
mandarins got together and threw
themselves at the feet of the Emperor. I
"Spare the dragon!" they begged. The !
young Emperor was touched in his ;
turn. The sentence of banishment was
revoked, and one of the imperial mes- I
seng^rs was sent galloping across the
land to overtake the dragon and ac- j ,
nuaint him with his good luck. Ho !
found the dragon, and the grateful animal
immediately sent abundant rain. |

*41?Memory Verses, 21.23?Commentary
on the Day'* I-esson.
Introduction. ? The history of Joseph,
as recorded in the Bible, is of inimitable
beauty. .So simple that a child may understand
it, yet, in its simplicity, so beautiful
that no uninspired hand can embelllish
it. Modern writers would fill a volume
in recording what Moses puts within
the compass of a few chanters. No blemish
apr.ears in the life of Josenh..
^ T_4._ A.U?. " Tlii? TMviVmlilv
I ^J. Jtltw VIIC |u inwii. A ?? ? r.
implies an edifice, or portion of the official
mansion, mostlv subterranean, of
which the roof or vault, rising immediately
from the surface of the ground, was
I round, or shaped like an inverted bowl.
In chapter 41: 14 it is called "the dungeon."
Such dungeons are still, under
similar circumstances, used in the East.
His imprisonment must have been very
severe at first. In Psalm 105: 17, 18 we
read that they hurt his feet with fetters;
he was laid in iron. But God greatly
blessed him. and it was not lone before
he had many favors shown him. "He was
there." .Toseph was in prison three years.
21. "The Lord was with Joseoli."
"This is an example of the strength of
God's consolations in the worst trials."
Josenh had power within him. which enabled
him to press forward, even though
it was very dark before him. The discipline
seemed severe: he was suffering as a
martyr. But he learned to trust God, and
with gladness of heart he goes to ilaverv,
persecution and imprisonment. God's
eve was unon him, and no weapon formed
against him prospered. He always did
light a^d made the best of everything.
22. "Keeper of the prison." An inferior
officer who was charged with the actual
discipline of the prison. "Committed to
Joseph's hand." We see here the real
nature of human influence. It is not the
influence of rank, but of character. Make
all men equal in rank to-day, and to-morrow
there will be found those who have
acquired influence over the others. These
prisoners were ell in the same position,
hut yerv soon Joseph's character gained
him influence.
23. "Because the Lord." etc. The rea
son ol ins inliuence was tne t>on witnin
him. ..Tnst so far as a man is Ghristlike
will lie have influence. Wisdom and virtue
wi'l shine in the narrowest spheres.
A cood man will do pood wherever he is.
and will be a blessing even in bonds and
brnis'if.ents, for the ft^Ht of tlic Lord
is not hound or banished.
1. "The butler."' The cupbearer and
overscci' of the wine?making and storing
and serving; an important officer of the
king. "Baker." This was another officer
in trust of the king's broad and its making.
and his post was one of high trust,
because they wrm had charge of the food
of the king might easily poison him.
"Had offended." Hieh places arc slippery
r'.-.ces.
3. "In the house.' The state prison
was in connection with Potiphar's residence.
S'ce on v. rsc 20.
4. "Charged .Tosc-nh," etc. The captain
of the guard himself, at ho w as Potiphsr,
charged Jo-eph with them, which intimate-:
that he began now to be reconciled
to him. and perhaps to be convinced of
his innocence. "He served them." Joseph
waited upon thnm. So long as (>"od is with
him Joseph will shine even in the dunpeon.
Pharaoh's officers ere sent to witness
his graces. v.-l'ich he is not permitted
to come forth to show.
5. "Each man?in one night." Tliii
shows that the dreams were of the Lord.
While our ordinary dreams have no spee'a.i
simiifieance, yet it ran not he doubted
that <>o.l lias in many eases, especially in
early times, snoken in dreams. "According
to the interpretation." This expression
is intended to show that the dreams
avere not meaningless, but. suited to each
man's ease and capable of a sound interpretation.
fi. "Sad." They were sure their dreamt
had more than an ordinary meaning.
7. "Wherefore?so smlly." Joseph
spoke" kindlv to them: lie. too. wa? a
common sufferer with them, and understood
their fuming*.
S. "\o interpreter." One thine that
troub'ed them was that *hev were not in
a position to submit their dreams to the
magicians of Egypt. who were sunnosed
to be able to internret dreams. Hut Josenh
l?ointed them to his Cod as the One who
'. ouhl reveal difficult thine*. "Tell me
hem." Thus had Cod at last broueht
Joseph prominently before these officers.
If. "Pressed them." From this we find
fhat wine anciently was the mmo juice of
the grape. without fermentation. The
eunbearer tool: the bunch, pressed the
iuice into the <u;>. and immediate'v delivered
it into the hands of hi* master. |
12. ' Throe branches are three days."
I1 uman knowledge could not hove known
that these branches had reference to
time, or it they did have whether three
davs, months or years were intended. It
was wisely ordered that one part of the
dream should require a divinelv inspired
interpreter. It v-a* Clod's design to assure
the but'er that Joseph obtained his
wisdom not from man. but by revelation
from above.
'3. "Lift un thine head." This may
rm'er to a custom which the king* of
Egypt observed when those supposed to
be gui'ty of great crimes were punished,
and others less guilty were pardoned.
14. "Think on me." Joseph bad much
yet to do to this world. He was to become
"the shepherd and the stone oi
Tsrael;" he was to be lord of Pharaoh's
house; lie was to become the father of
two powerful tribes in Israel. He could
not 1'frisn wane me promises fie lied received
wre vet unaccomplished. '"Bring
me out." "He desires enlargement not
preferment. Providence Fomefimes ?*?
signs the greatest honors for those that
least covet or exoect 'hem."
15. "I was stolen." Joseph makes a
very modest statement with reference to
himse'f. He do"s not refect upon those
who had sold )nm. or dwell upon the
great wrong done him in his imprisonment:
lie merely states the facts end declares
his innocence. '"Land of the Hebrews."
.Tudea was probably known bv
this name in Egypt. '"Done nothin<*."
Joseph's way is now for a time in the
darkness, but this is the very wav through
which (Jed often leads His people.
Josetih also intcrnreted the dream of
1 he baker. Vs. 1G-19. 0 i the third day
after this Pharaoh made a birlhdav
feast, and the butler was restored to bis
-iffice ami the linker wis hanged, "as
losenh had interpreted to them." The
nitier. however, forgot Jo-rob. It is supposed
that Joseph lib J at this tinm been

ru!l vears" yet befon- ( ' id's tim.e comes
'or bis release. Josenli knew ihe future

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
bv local applications as tbev cannot reach th?
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of tho
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
vou have a rumbling sound orimnerfecthearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
