Golden Text, Matt, xxv, 10—Memorize Rev. 11. S. Hoffman. | [From Lesson Helper Quarterly, by permission ol H. S. Hoffman. Philadelphia, publisher.] : Notes.—Lamps, torches. No oil, no grace. Oil with their lamps, grace should go with a profession. Tarried, the Lord will not come os soon to his church as expected. Not enough for you, no one can supply grace for another’s need. Door shut, as much for the comfort and security of those within as for the exclusion of those without. Watch I therefore, this is the scope and design of the whole parable. The central thought of this | lesson is that we must be always ready for i the Lord's coming. Are we? V. 1. The number “ten” would seem to lie I the perfect number of secular life, as “seven’ | is of the spiritual life. It may “have orig-! inated in the arithmetic of the ten fingers.” • Ten formed a Jewish company, ten ate the Passover together, ten Jews in ono place formed a congregation to build a synagogue, there were ten commandments, etc. This number would seem to refer to church as it appears to the world. The number five would seem to teach half consummation, the fingers of only one band, the five senses without tho five mental faculties, or vice versa. The parable is based upon the marriage customs of the east. The bridegroom went, late in the evening, attended by his friends, or “groomsmen,” to the bride’s dwelling, where she awaited him, attired in white robes, decked with jewels and attended by her bridemaids. The whole company then went in procession by torchlight to the bride groom's house, being joined on the way by invited guests (the virgins in tho parable) with torches. When the bridegroom's house was reached the train of friends and guests entered and the doors were shut, debarring any one’s entrance that would come later. I Lnmp« were absolutely needed by each one ! in the dark streets of an Asiatic city. In . j modern Jerusalem the authorities require | every one to carry a lamp. ! While the virgins symbolize the whole j Church of Christ, the lamp would seem to ' represent tho outward profession of Chris ' tianity. Tho “oil” stands for the spiritual life and grace in the soul. The “flame” of the lamp typifies tho outshining of holy life, fed and nourished by grace. Os course the “bridegroom” is none other than Christ coming to this world for his bride, the church. V. 2. The numbers make nothing to the case, only the division is essential. The church at Christ’s coming, as now, will con sist of the two classes, the nominal and real Christians. The wise and foolish are undis tinguishublfe until the crisis comes. V. 3. In the case of the foolish virgins the taking of the lamps is everything, but the wieo seem most concerned about taking oil in their vessels. Some are anxious about tho profession and forms of religion. Better be concerned about having grace in the heart. V. 5. Allusion i? imule to a longer delay ! of tho Lord’s Coming than believers reckoned, i While the bridegroom tarried they all, both ‘ wise and foolish virgins slept. The word . “slumbered” signifies drowsiness, nodding, i while “slept” describes the full uuconscious | ness of sleep. Two stages of spiritual dcclen i sion may possibly be indicated. But there ! aj pears no censure for their sleeping; it was I not interpreted as imwetchfulnsss, it was not At “midnight,” when that which was ' ■ wrong could not bo made right, a herald or a part of tho retinue went before, announ j ci ng the approach of tho bridegroom. Tho , midnight for the Church of Christ is when j the worldly spirit is so far in tho ascendancy [ as to make it seem that tho whole church has I fallen into the common course of the world, j and when the truth of Chris', is traduced and I cast asidf by the mass of men. Such mid ! nights of Christian history there have been I followed by a coming of the bridegroom, j V. 7. Snatches of tho joyous music were [ already falling on their ears. Excitement j was rising into enthusiasm. The virgins “all arose.” The trimming of the lamps im plied tho infusion of fresh oil and the re moval of tho fungi which had gathered around and was clogging tho wick. Self ex amination and renewal cf grace seems to bo set forth. V. 8.. The religion of impulse, of excite ment, of mere forms* of only a profession, fails in the hour of need. Unable to re kindle their lamps in tho crucial hour, their joy and hope arc also extinguished. i V. f>. Character and grace are not trans- • ferable. There are times when prudence has the appearance of selfishness. To have cli- : vided the oil would have involved uil in j darkness and defeated the purpose cf the ! procession. No one can supply grace for | another’s need. V. 10. We cannot prepare for the crisis at the moment. It took the virgins longer a’, this unseasonable hour to buy oil than at any other time. There is a special time when r. duty may be easiest done. Those who were prepared, who wore ready with burning lamps and with hearts lighted up with joy, went in with, the bridgroom into : tho banqueting bouse. Then “the door was i shut.” Light and joy inside, sorrow and i darkness without. “Almost saved, but lost.” i Wo shut the door ourselves by neglecting tc ! be prepared to ente r. i V. 11. The foolish virgins returned at , Esau, too late for the blessing which no tear-: I could give him. There is a time coming 1 when it will be too late for even pray. r. Example of European Politeness. In Italy, ns well as in Franco, we often j find a pleasant disposition to offer service, ! even if it is not directly paid for. I was • once in a city of northern Italy, where 1 I needed some articles of cl- thi::g. Laving just arrived, I wj entirely unacquainted ' with the place and inquired of : at j I forwarding or expre-s oul-.e, wncro I I.;?’ I some business, the address of a shop | I whore I could buy what I wanted, lie there upon put cm Lis hat and laid he would gc with me to one. I did not wish him to put him self to so much trouble, but he insisted that as I did not know tho city it would bo much better for him to accompany me. Ho took me to tho best place in town, helped me in my selection, mado suggestions to the shopkeeper, and when I had finished my busi ness, offered to go with me to buy any thing eke I might want. It is possible that he may have been paid for bringing purchasers to this shop, but the price I paid for what I bought was.so small that there could not have been much profit to anybody, and I do not believe that the largo and wealthy firm by whom this young ■ man was employed would allow one of their ■ clerks to go out in this way merely to give ! Lima chance to make a little money. Let any I :d ranger in ono of our cities enter an express i office and try to got one of tl.clerk.-; io go I wiih him to a tailor’s store and help him to select a suit of clothes, and wh-m he has made known his desire, let him wait and rca what hapuens next.—Frank D Stockton iu St. Nicholas. f ount D*Org*y and tho Tailor. It is recounted that one day, being caught in his private dressing room by a t; iior who raged, and said lie would not h ave till he had Im‘o:i paid his hill, Count D’Or.ay listened thoughtfully fora time, fixm:; his eyes ujion a package that the irate tailor had dejxjsit-I upi-n a chair, i his package was enveloped in a coarse ■ sori of canvas. ‘•Have you much of that stuff in your fihopF’ I- ’ I Count D'Or-ey. ‘•AVb:kind—that ugly canvas’? If I wantctl it I could to-morrow have enough : to wrap uj) all the merchandise in the (lo j: :. " „ ' l omhuj said the count; I • ‘don’t talk nonsense, Come to me to morrow at 4 o’clock and take my meas ure for a pair of trousers cut from this canvas.” In vain the tailor endeavored to dis suade the count, stating that the canvas was not suitable for a garment, and in a short time Count D’Orsay was supplied with the canvas trousers. At 5 o'clock one afternoon ho climbed tho vast staircase of Crockford’s, then one of the fashionable clubs of London, and the first person whom he met was Lord Chesterfield. “Upon my word,” said the noble lord, “you have a singular garment there— something rare, without doubt. Always tho same original and charming D’Orsay!” The count received the compliment with some confusion. ••It is perhaps not exactly elegant,” he said, “but it is very handy and fresh, (.specially suited to riding on horseback.” In a few moments a group of dandies had surrounded the clever Frenchman, Lord Chesterfield in tho main parlor was expatiating on the originality of D'Orsay’s taste, and a few days after ward tho tailor found himself overrun with orders for tho canvas trousers. Lord Chesterfield himself ordered a dozen pairs. Count D’Orsay had accomplished 1; is purpose, and the delighted tailor ■lame no more with his troublesome bill. —Edward King in Cosmopolitan. When Attacked by Pneumonia. “What is the first symptom of pneu monia?” was asked a Brooklyn physician the other day. ‘ ‘A severe chill, ’ ’ was the reply. •■What ought a man to do who is seized with such a chill?” “He should get into a bath tub con taining hot water—so hot that it would redden the skin—and stay there as long as he can.” “What is the philosophy of such treat ment?” “A severe chill, which always precedes pneumonia, indicates that the blood has gen . .1 tho lungs, liver or kidneys. Now, tin: iirst remedial step is to dissipate this blood. The hot bath does this. It draws tlie blood to the surface, and dissipates it over a greater area. After having lain in the bath until relief is experienced, the patient should step out of it and wrap liimsclf in a woolen blanket. Don’t stop to dry yourself with a towel, but wrap the warm wool around you and tumble into bed. •■The consensus of opinion among the leading physicians of tho day is that pneumonia is an infectious disease. That is, the disease germ is in the air, and whi n the right physical condition is pre sented the disease takes root and fructi fies. The popular idea that pneumonia is confined to cold weather is an errone ous one. There is no pneumonia in the Arctic regions. It is mainly due to the svddcn changes in our temperature. By consulting the health reports of New York city it will be found that the high est death rate occurs in December and I-’el ruary. but that there arc a good many cases in August.—New York Sun. In the memoirs of the Count de Fal loux, now publishing in Le Correspond ent, the following passage, referring to the coup d'etat of Napoleon 111. occurs: “Among the prisoners detained at Mont Valericn Dee. 2, 1851, was one Anthony Choraet. He gave to a lady visitor a number of letters to take to Paris, and raid: ‘Tell my family I an* in no danger, but that I. feel inconsolable to have held tii'.' destiny of France in my hand and to have li it slip!’ Nobody understood the phra- '. but the fact was this: In the i- i:.ti“: "nt ;v.sembly preceding the elec tiof Louis Napoleon to the presidency, Chomct had introduced an amendment excluding the members of families that had reigned in France from the office of pr. -ident. Louis Napoleon ascended the rostrum and spoke against the amend ment so awkwardly, so incoherently, and with an accent so foreign and strange that lie was all tho time interrupted by th ■ n- Ly laughter and railleries, and finally compelled to desist ignominiously. Th< n Chomet arose and said: ‘After the ■ ly has heard that harangue, and all I’rance will have read it to-morrow, there is no further need of my amend ment. I withdraw it.’” He that makes liiui - It ridiculous makes himself impos i the French saying, and Chomct wasguid d I v it. But Louis Napoleon outlived the ridicule and became master of 1 'ranee, which would not have been i ; if i 'tioi ■'' ■ amendment Lid. co e law.—Paris Letter. Tholes Removed by Electricity. The fair sex owes still another debt to tlie scientist. A lady who had a mole on her shoulder and who, from this reason, was unable to display her otherwise fair and attractive corporal possessions, has had an electrical operation performed with perfect success. The mole was perforated with electric needles in every direction. After a week the mole, which ha<i been burned to a black mass, fell off and lei< the si in in good condition. The new skin shows hardly a trace of dis coloration. and she now wears the most fashionable ball dresses with impunity and success.—New York Mail and Ex press. A Hint to Smokers. It seems to me that ordinary polite ness, the honest dictates of courtesy, would suggest to smokers that public conveyances, public audience rooms, public' citing places, public drinking place.-, arc for the enjoyment of the whole public and not for a selfish ma jority. Men frequently come into my office with lighted cigarettes anil leave behind them traces of their offense, which annoy me for hours thereafter. By what right do they do so?—Jet Howard in New York Graphic. THE BUFFALO QUESTION. A Solution Wliicli Should Be Adopted at Once—A Manitoba Herd. There is no question in Taxidermist Richardson’s opinion that the buffalo is now well nigh extinct on the plains. i There are a few in Yellowstone park pro | tected by the government, but they are ■ likely to be killed at any time. In Texas i a herd of about thirty is owned by one ! ranchman; several other small bunches may be found, but the days when they rambled at large over the country have been numbered. Unless some means of protecting them is adopted within ten years the American bison must become an extinct species. In Central park Di rector Conklin has several specimens of buffalo, but the cow is growing old and another one has not been secured. Tho buffalo will not breed in captivity unless, like other domestic animals, it has abun dant room for feeding and exercise. In Central park the animals are confined in narrow stalls because the space at the disposal of tho manager is so cramjied. ! There is a practical solution of the buf falo question, Mr. Richardson thinks, which, if adopted at once, may prevent the extinction of the animal. The buf faloes are easily domesticated, and if ac : customed from birth to domestic sur roundings, they become quite as easy to ! control as .flrdinaiy domestic cattle. In the northwest, where the winters are long and the thermometer sinks below zero at tho slightest provocation, buffalo subsist without any discomfort, while the winters there are generally fatal to i domestic cattle unless boused and r.xtked , after with the greatest care. “In Manitoba. ” said Mr. Richardson, “there is a herd of about fifty buffaloes owned by S. L. Bedson. Ernest E. Thompson, who is assisting me in the museum, has written an interesting ac i count of them in a recent pamphlet on the ‘Mammals of Manitoba.’ A portion of this herd are half breeds, crossed with common cattle, another portion are tbrec i quarters bred, and the rest arc pure : blood. It may be a question whether the pure breed will continue itself, but it ! ; certainly could be maintained if looked i after. This herd has developed from j i five buffalo calves, brought by some In dians from Winnipeg in 1878. It re quires no care beyond what is necessary i to keep the different animals from wan tiering or being stolen or shot. buf i faloes are as hardy as in their wild state. Mr. Thompson saw them late in Janu- • ary last year, when they were able to dig ■ i down in the snow and find grass enough to keep them fat. During a blizzard i tlfey would lie down in a group, with 1 their backs to the wind, and let the snow • drift over them. The snow and their woolly coats kept them perfectly com fortable. In January, 1884, one of the cows calved in the open prairie, where the thermometer registered 38 dogs, bo- ■ low zero, and both cow and calf survived i and did not appear to suffer. “It seems to me that this is an import ant question for the farmers of the north i west, and the national government ought to take measures for the encouragement ■ of the raising of buffalo stock. An ordi i nary cowhide is worth $2, but it i.i use ; less as a robe, while an average buffalo hide is worth $lO and, as a robe, is al - most indispensable in the northern cli mate. The buffalo sheds its woolly hair i once a year. This wool is easily gatli i ered, and it works up well into a coarse yarn. One animal will yield ten to i twelve pounds of raw wool. 2't one 1 time there were factories for the manu , facture of buffalo wool, but they have 1 disappeared with tho buffalo. Tho wool of tho hybrid animal becomes darker and 1 finer, and the buffalo hump disappears in 1 the mixed breed. The aninial itself be -1 comes more docile, though retaining its I hardihood, and is a better milker than the pure buffalo. This cross breeding affords a wide opportunity for stock raisers.”—New York Tribune. ; Tho Most Decorated Man. It would be difficult to say who is the most decorated man of Europe. Each of the three emperors and the royal sover eigns of Europe average fifty grand crosses, with their respective appendages. Aside from the sovereigns and princes, I should think the most decorated man must be either Count Andrassy, the former chancellor of Austria, or the sta \ tion master of . a well known water- ing place. The latter receives an aver ■ ago of three minor crosses annna’ly, de ! pending mainly on the number of I I sovereigns and princes visiting th" jdacc; 1 station masters, physicians, police com ; missioners and others are in many in- II stances remunerated for their services with crosses, very much as tho gate keeper of the castle of Chilion receives a ' \ shilling front every visiting Englishman.

Tho coachman of a millionaire is tho prisoner. His employer has become ;, bondsman for him. and his attorney is : present to see that justice is dealt cut to ' him. And that is just what is done— II just that and nothing more of less. He j was arrested for using art infamous Ist, tho sides of which contained sharp tacks which pressed cruelly into the sides of th” horse's face, inflicting such pain that . he reared and danced. This gave him the appearance of great spirit. Mr. Bergh briefly states the case to tho court. The bit is produced.

Dnck Shooting Among tho Flout! Gar I dens of the Aztecs. Vast marshes stretch out in every th 1 rection, dotted with immense ponds—the ' j duck preserves of Mexico. This region, i in olden days, was the bosom . C lh« ’ broadest of the Aztec lakes. After the J construction of the great Spanish drain, only water enough was left to breed ma . laria and attract water fowl. , These ponds are rented to the Indians ; at fabulous prices, who mainly subsist upon the harvest of ducks which they . gather with all the regularity of a wheat crop. It is estimated that 500.('C0 an nually load the market of Mexico. The Indians are actuated by no love of sport, but from stern necessity; and while the slaughter involves little skill, it is unique and one of the features of the country. ' They erect a sort of infernal machine with three tiers of gun barrels—on<- level with the water, one slightly elevated, and the third at a still greater angle. They , employ from fifty to 300 musket l arreis, ' which they hide in the logs, floating them among the marsh grass near the ' water’s edge. These are exploded, some times by fuse and sometimes by elec tricity. The lower tier is discliar red at the birds while they are sitting, and the ' second and third tiers are fired in quick succession as they rise. During duck - season this wholesale havoc taken place several times a week, and nets these ' thrifty Indians from 400 to 600 birds per shot. The marshes and causeways were cov ered with a picturesque throng, on foot and horseback, the entire tribe, men, women and babies. They seemed to have no regular method of distributing the plunder; but so soon as the : moke cleared all plunged forward and secured as many as they could pick up. For an ' ’ hour the causeway leading to Mexi- i was lined with a duck laden procession. Tied ! to • rancheros’ saddles, hung on poles, dangling with the little mahogany babies I upon the backs of Indian mothers. Like all the good things in life, the distribu, : tion was an uneven one, and some could go to market with their gains while others would still go hungry. One little fellow, clad in a scant shirt and broad I smile, trotted along with only a duck’s I head as his portion. Never tnindf he will grow into the capacity of a whole bird by and by. We naturally questioned why these silly coveys return to the same death trap from year to year, and learn that there are myriads of savory eggs, called agayacatl, deposited here by an insect, which some declare a musquito, others designate as a fly. The ducks arc not alone in their appreciation of this dainty, for the Indians gather them also, and make them into a tortilla, which j they declare delicious. The taste re- I sembles fish roe, and “musquito pate” is a bonne bouche often found upon sash- I ionable tables in the capital, Father Page, in his “Travels,” says that ‘ ‘at one season of the year the In dians had nets of mail, with the which they raked off a certain dust that is bred tq>on the lake of Mexico. They gathered much of this and kept it in j heaps and made thereof cakes like unto brickbats. And they did not only sell this ware in the market, but also sent it abroad to other fairs and markets afar off; and they did eat this meal with as good a stomach as we cat cheese—yea, and they hold the opinion that this scum of fatness of ;the water is the cause that such great number of fowl cometh to the lake, which in the winter season is infinite.” This was written early in the Seven teenth century, and “infinite” is still the oroper word to designate the number of wild fowl that hero abound.—-Emily Pierce in Outing. The Cup Which Cheers. But not many days ago I found a new and better way of making tea, and that ■ the tea question should ever be stirred up and need settling once again surprised j J me. Mother’s way of making it had j seemed unquestionable at first: One tea- i spoonful of tea, one cupful of boiling [ water; steeped, not boiled, five minutes. But night after night there floated on my husband’s cup one, two or a dozen tiny particles of stem and leaf, until a strainer there must be, but “A pretty silver one,” I said, “and I will wait till Christmasi” Then came niy best of hus bands to the rescue with a mild sugges tion: for he is long suffering, and neither demands improvement nor finds fault with present methods in my housekeep ing. He proposed teaching me his mother’s way of making tea. It was to use the same proportion as before, but I not to pour the whole amount of boiling i water on the leaves until they have first I been steeped in just enough to cover | ‘ thorn, three minutes! Then add the amount of Waief required, and serve. If ■ the water really boils there will be no “floaters.” By the new rule, found in our daily paper, tea is made with cold water, and is intended to be used iced in tumblers. But. accidentally, we have discovered that it makes superior hot tea also. Four or five hours before using, pour one cup ful of cold water over a teaspoonful of tea leaves. At tea time strain and Bdbve as iced tea, or heated in the teapot. The straining before heating gives unusual delicacy to the flavor.—Good Housekeep ing- SOME CURIOUS TABLE MANNERS. The Gof.d Old Days When Knives and I’orks Were Scarce—The Saltcellar. It was late in the Fourteenth century when the first evidences of art in the shape of silver cups were noticeable on ' the buffet. The dishes were made of pewter or wood and spoons of bone, I wood or silver. Knives were rare, and on that account guests invited to feasts i carried their own knives. Forks came in : general us 3 still later, and for long years j after their introduction they were con- i sidered ridiculous affectation and foppery, | and not nearly so convenient as one’s I own fingers. The lord and his lady ' dipped their fingers into the same plate ( tnd sipped their wine from the same cup. , Even the queenly Elizabeth, with all her I elaborate ideas of etiquette, was content ! to carry her food to her mouth with he, | fingers, and at first despised tho new ly , invented forks as unseemly and awk ! ward. | Very gradually tho dining hall grew in comfort and splendor. Dishes of gold and silver were made, and so eager were tho nobles for them that they would sac- : rifice anything to possess them. Ths | saltcellar was for a long time the article i of highest importance on the board. It was a great affair, and it stood directly in the center of the table; it was the di- ' I viding line; the nobles were seated above tho salt, the commoners below; hence I grew the proverb, “Below the salt. ” Tho ; passing of salt was a ceremonious custom, tho guest throwing a pinch over his left ! I shoulder and murmuring a blessing. Tb 3 saltcellars were of the most curi ous device. Sometimes they represented bugo animals, sometimes a great, full blown flower, or a long! slender stem. , and again they were in shape of a chariot, ’ mounted on four wheels, on which they ; were easily run down the table. The first glass cups camo from Venice | during tho Sixteenth century, and from ' that time on society began to lose many j of its primitive ways, and became, in a I sense, more refined. Henry VIII was born with luxurious ! tastes. lie bad his banquet chairs sup- ; plied with velvet cushions, and about this time tho parlor or “talking room,” i as it was called, was introduced, and here it was that the dames took refuge when tho dinner had advanced beyond prudent limits, os it invariably did before the finish. The cook that presided over the kitchen j in those days was not the counterpart of ’ our Nineteenth century Bridget, but he j was an artist, and generally a man of quality. The ladies of the household, : even those of noble birth, attended to [ many domestic duties, making the j bread, preserving the fruits, while to understand the proper use of starch was considered a great accomplishment.— Tillie May Forney in Woman. Li tin.;, u. n.? S . To lift 1.009 pounds on the health lift ' is no very remarkable feat for a person . of average strength, giving sufficient i time daily for a few months to pmcliee. Mr. Blaikie learned in this w.-.y-:>- th • ag -< f 17. to lift 1.009 pounds after only ■ six n. -m'.. ' practice.

For tho body cannot, when at all aslant, bear such a weight as ' 1,000 pounds. Whether such czorciso is good for tho body as a whole depends a good deal on i the opportunities which a man has for 1 correcting an abnormal development <f ! the lifting muscles by means of other ex- ; ercises, increasing th: development of other muscles and giving activity as well as strength to the frame Kicffar.l A.
