"I always use di. tillo,l yrast." says Mr?. I-winK. in r.oo.l IIous-k--iInr. "I have tried comrrt'sscl ya.st. ami I have mail': rny own yca.t, hut I hav- always hal th? Vt nsults from distill rs' yeast. I u seit Imrrif.li itdy. I may k p it over niht. but seldom longer than that. I a spun so in the morning as soon as I set up. I don't like to sft broad at nlht. Tlure is no tclllr.ff what may harren to it w Ik n you are ak t p. The life may Set chiil'd out of it. or it may set too warm ami th n sour, so it is best to .start the Job when yon can watch it. I set a ?ionge at 6 o'clock in the morning, and at 10 it is out of the oven. Here arc my measurements fr a baking I do twice a v cek. They ive me about three pounds of broad, one lart;o loaf or two email ones. I use 1 cent's worth of yeast, a little ricre than a quarter of a cup. For wettins I sometime U0 half milk and half water, or all milk, generally the milk Irom which I have skimmed the cream for breakfast. If I happen to be out of milk I use water, and the bread is almost as good. For a cent's worth of yeast I us3 one and a half cups of wetting, a level tablespoonful of lard, half a teaspoon of salt, a pinch of soda, and one teaspoon of sugar. I don't scald the milk; pimply have the wetting lukewarm. To this I add the yeast, then flour to make a thick batter. I set it in a warm place and generally in forty minutes it 13 light enough to make into dough. I turn it out on the. bread board and knead till it la as smooth as satin. One of the secrets of good bread is to knead In the least flour possible. Some women go on adding all the Hour they can possibly work into dough; then they wonder why their loaves are tough and dry. After I have added all the Hour that seems m-cessary I ue no more, exevpt a pinch here and there where the dough sticks to the board. When it is smooth and elastic I return it to the bread pan and let it rise. The second time I put It on the board I give it the slightest kneading possible, timply enough to break every air bubble. An air bubble means a hole, and bread with a texture like a coarse sponge i3 pretty poor eating. I put my loaves in the pan and watch them. My rule is to let them rise to double their size, and I fut enough dough in a pan to have a oaf that will round slightly over the top of the pan. Wlun they rise higher than that they cut into pliers that are not fihtly. I don't consider j baking finished when the loaves are In The oven. "I plan to stay pretty near the stove during baking time. I turn every loaf after it has been in the oven five minutes. If one neglects this the result Is a loaf humped high on one side and low on the other. It may be good bread, but it Is not sightly. I bake with a wood fire, which is hotter than coal, and generally thirty minutes aftr I set the loaves in the oven they are out again, cooling on a ficve." Worn by Fashionable Women. New York Times. Miss Anna Sands wore at the Newport Casino a robe of pink Swiss. The skirt had two five-inch insertions of cream-colored lace near the bottom. The bodice showed crossing Insertions of the same lace, which was used again in the sleeves. A white !oa was worn, and a large white hat trimmed with pink and white. Miss Lily Oelrichs wears a close-fitting gown of pale gray. The material Is thin and, clinging. There are what might almost be called "sunbursts" of fine tucking all over tfca tight bodice, that Is the tiny tucks start from the outer edges and meet at a central point. The back of the bodice is a fcocd example of this, as the tucks run frfm the neck and the shoulder and armFfams to the center of the back, where 'an oval medallion of yellow lace, perhaps four Irenes long. Is set in. This same design is related on the upper portions of the sleeves. There are horizontal insertions of yellow lace in sleeves and front of bodice, and, four or five wide insertions with tucks between form the lower part of the Hailing, sheath-llke skirt. Miss Oelrich's beautiful blonde head is usually crowned with a brod-trlmmei hat of rough castor-colored t:aw with wide pale gray ostrich plumes applied flatly to the brim, when she wears tnis gown. Mrs. Cornelius Vandarbilt occasionally wars an exquisite costume of scarlet mouseeline trimmed with bands of changeable scarlet and mauve taffeta. Iioth cloefittlng bodice and skirt are laid in the finest tuck. In the klrt the tucking is done in groups fix inches wide and the arne distance apart, and these extend Home eighteen Inches below the waist line and are then allowed to flare, making the klrt sufficiently full. About the bottom of thj frock are two ten-inch tucked ruffles, and these tucks are also allowed to flare to make the ruffles full at the lower edge. Inch-wide bands of changeable mauve and aacrlet silk are applied an inch from the edge of each ruffle. The sleeves are tuckedtwo Inches from the shouder scam a band of the changeable silk crosses. At the elbow the sleeves are allowed to puff, the tucks being loosened, and then are brought c.osely In again by more tucks crossed by the bands of silk. The vest, of Irregular outline, was of white lace, and around the opening the silk Is stitched. With this frock a la alliere chain with a large emerald pendant Is worn. Mrs. Vnnderbilfs hat to go with it Is of white straw. Around the ,.at brm are masses of lilies of the valley and foliage. The left side is lifted and across it from the crown run two broad bands of black velvet and white satin respectively laid in folds. Under the left how whIte flowers and green foliage Mrs. Ogden Mills wore at a recent luncheon a simpV frock of white foulard, figured In a sprawling but graceful design on pale JiU' Thw "alnK ?krt was plain, save that at its foot five graduated tucks-thc lower two Inches wide and the upper an Inch n width-finished it. The bodice was equally simple and Moused a tritle in front. There was a white lace took and vest, and lace puffs above the wrlits. Mrs. Mills's hat as a large one of rale yellow strawtrimmed with ostrich plumes, one black antl one white, ami she wore a dcen boi nf white tulle, the edges fished in black! IIIr Hat to lie Worn. New York Evening Tost. In spite of protests, the lar?e dress hat survives as a leading fail and winter model. Some of the now Paris shapes are conspicuously huge as to brim and ridiculously low as to crown. Last spring, in all good faith, an effort was made to establish a smaller hat turned up at the back and tilted over the face, bringing the hotj and hatbrim into familiar proximity. To a certain type of women, with fine eyes and pretty cheeks and chins, thl hat was a becoming o.n and the compromise rather pleasing. Hut it did not Hatter as did the big. wide, eccentric picture hat. Its plumes and draperies certainly impart dignity und pkturesqueness to the Kembrandt, Raleigh, Devonshire and 1)1 Vernon styles, and the halo of the brim lends a charming background. The Victorian hat is a very smart lifr.dr for present ues. In Mack chip or Milan, it is wired and bent to suit the wearer's face and style of coiffure, while the bröad brim and a portion of the low crown are laden with tulle, fall flowers or foliage in brill!. int color melanges and table plumes. Tucked under the brim Just baek of the ear are Hots of velvet In herry red. of pale rose color, dahlia-shaped knots r.f pink and eream elvt. or Velvttpetalled nasturtiums or rose. This sort of trimming Is calculated to take the place of the cache peigne at the back and the large flu-ter of flowers there massed ami undenl iMy the erfe t given l must faces is quaint and becoming. To .MuUe iriipc Jelljr. CI ood Housekeeping. When I Uave a basket of grapes I look them over at once and pick off all green ancj hilf-rip ones, vaah them and put, without water, in an euamcbd pan. When I begin to get dinner I set the j.n in and ko about my other work. When taku up the dinner J turn the grapt int t a small Jelly bag utu let drain while we are eating. Then 1 measure the Juice and ud 1 about tnret-

fourths as much sugar, let it boil up Jv-t once; and pour into the glasses. It makes delicious jelly, with a lrcsh grape taste that cannot be obtained when waf r is added and it is being boiled longer. This is almost no work, and by the tini the season is over I have a nice lot of jelly wlthout having taken a whole day to stand over the hot stove. Almost any Jel! can be made this way, and is r.i r than the rUl method. Crab apples require the addition of some water or the j 1 1 v will be too stiff. In making preserves the fruit can be steamed till Just tender. Care must betaken not to steam to- long, or the picc s will not retain their shape. Then make- a svrup of the juice that forms around them and a sufficient amount of sugar. Cook In this till clear, and can. Watermelon preserves are nice made this way, being generous in the use of lemon juice and rind.

.Otitis nntl Fntl. A b'nker who makes jam on a large scale says he never stirs it, but puts a large handful of marbles on th bottom of the kettle. These roll around when the Jam boils and prevent it from burning. To toast bread on a blue flame oil or a gas stove of anv kind, put the slices of bread in a wire broiler, lay ihe broiler on a griddle over the flame and turn frequently until. the slices are nicely browned on both tides. It is n frequent practice to place warm food in the refrigerator or upon ice to cool 'it quickly. This results In damage by the apor produced to both food and refrigerator. People should learn that food coots, to a certain point, more quickly in the open air than in a closet! refrigerator. To clean dull gold jewelry without removIrg jewels, etc.. and without injuring either the dull gilding or th gems, rub it gently with a soft brush moistened in bicarbonate of soda and water, to which have been added a few drops of ammonia. Then rinse thoroughly and dry in pure warm sawdust. Write the name plainly lnilde of rubbers, as soon as received from the shop, particularly for school children, and keep the umbrella a little longer in the family bv painting the name on the inside with white oil paint; allow to dry thoroughly before closing. Another way is to whittle off a spot from the handle and ink the initials on the unfinished spot of wood. One of the pretty sleeve models used by fashionable dressmakers is tucked or shirred lengthwise- from the shoulder to above the elbow. This decoration reappears Just below the elbow and extends to a Utile above the top of the wrist, where it ends. The material is then gathered into a decorated band, so that there is a puff on the elbow and another Just above the hand. From Paris and London come the following echoes of the autumn season: Hichhued velvet wall (lowers, gladioli. , nasturtium, dahlias and other autumn blooms and foliage for velvet hats; double vests cf contrasting color and fabric set one beyond the other; Carrick shoulder capes, in graduated Blzes, sometimes ending in decided points at the waist; revers, superposed one above the other, and a series of Jacket fronts, trimmed at the edges, and lapping each other like the roof of a thatched cottage. JINK M'ATEFS SHOOTING. "Now, I s'pose," remarked the huge man from Arizona, "that they think that's some hooting?" He wagged his head deprecatingly as he turned about in his seat to look Into the eye of his friend and guide, the New Yorker. They were at a vaudeville show, and a pair of young women in warm-looking buckskin waists and short skirts were executing "Yankee Doodle" by firing with target pistols at an upright xylophone. "Well," replied tho New York man, as the curtain descended on the performance and the two set sail for a place where there was a table In an alcove and a button to push, "I wouldn't care to have either one of those girls swear vendetta against me and round me up in a blind alley or corral me in a gorge of the Grand Canyon." "Call that shooting, hey?" sniffed the vast Southwestemer. drawing up his chair and pushing the alcove button with the ferule of his stick. "Why, Jink McAtee could ha done every one of those tricks throwing seven-pound cobblestones at a hundred yards, with both hands tied behind his back." "Jink." remarked the New York man, "must have been a bird." "He was all of that," sententiously teplied the mammoth man from Arizona. "There never was a man In the Southwest that could shoot alongside of Jink McAtee enough to keep Jim warm. Funny thing about Jink, too, was that he was about the most peaceable man in the Territory at a' time when old Arizona was a heap on the seethe. Lived in Tombstone, Jink did, when Tombstone sure was the finest place that you over saw for a man that valued his hide to walk sldewise in, and yet Jink never had any trouble. Minded his own business. Jink kept the New York general store in Tombstone when she was on the boom and let the others be as bad as they wanted to be. "Of course, Jink had all the best of it, and was let alone by all hands, on account of his powerful reputation as a shootist. When Jink first dropped along into Tombstone to open up his store business, he knew that there were about ten chances to one Jink being a sawed-off, mild-mannered chap that the boys 'ud be picking on him and tryin' him out if he didn't do something to show 'em that In case of a mix he was liable to be there or thereabouts. "First Sunday afternoon Jink was in he strolled out to the edge of the camp where a lot of boys were sitting around in the shade of their shacks drinking whisky and observing the Sabbath in a quiet manner. Jink pulled out of his pocket a two-by-two sheet of yellow tissue paper, spread it out and tacked it on the ground with stakes. The boys figured that Jink was bughouse and they gathered around him to have some fun with him. Jink didn't pay any attention to them, but yanked out one of his guns. He sniffed a bit at the air to ascertain the exact force of the moderate breeze that was blowing and then he pointed his gun straight up at the blue sky. "That made the gang huiph so that they were Just about to do a May pole dance around Jink when Jink fired at the zenith. As soon as he had fired Jink lowered his gun and began to count 'One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine zippl' Just on the stroke of ten the bullet that Jink had fired at the heavens chopped right into the center of the two-by-two sheet of tissue paper that Jink had staked out on the ground. "Well, you ought to've seen the eyes of those boys widen! Jink cracked a sort of a slow grin, raised his Kun over his head, sighted it carefully, an' tired again. Again he counted, and once more, just on the stroke of ten. the bullet made its return to earth. It dropped with a little thud right Into the little hole in the tissue paper that Jink's first bullet had made. Then Jink tired the other four cartridges in quick succession at that Invisible pin point in the sky that he was aiming at and just ten seconds from the instant the first shot was fired the balls clattered back, every one of the four falling risht smack Into the hole in the piece of tissue paper that had leen maele by the first bullet!" "Jink," put in the New York man, "must have been a peach nil right." "Of course, that stunt made a hit with the boys," went on the gigantic Southwestemer, ignoring the New Yorker's remark. "A couple of 'em thought there might have been some sort of a trick about It. Put no, when they took the stakes out of the piece of tissue paper and picked it up there w'ere the six bullets piled on top of each other in a little heap. "Well, that little Job made the way all clear for Jink. He opened up his plant the following week. and. the word having jjot around of what a sure-enough shootist Jink was. he was soon doing half the general store and outfitting business of Tombstone. Made money hand over fist. Put he didn't care lo spend It like the ret of the gang. Whisky didn't agree with him, and he didn't care anything about poker. Fact Is. about the only thing Jink did care much about was practicing with his gun. and we couldn't blame him mucin seeing what a marvel he was at gun work. "Jink was, beyond a doubt a " "You bet he wus." interrupted the Arizona Kiant. expansively, as he rattled th Ice against the sides of his tall glass with the spoon. "Jink had one style of shooting that is, ef shooting in the drk that you never see t:p this way at all. There never was a marksman who could find his aim in the dark like Jink. "Jink discovered his proficiency in this respect In a peculiar manner, he" told m. Ha was rleeping on the edge of th Mojave desert one night, it seems, when, suddenly awakening, he heard the ominous rattle of one of those venomous Band rattlesnakes some distance away from where he'd laid his head on his saddle. He picked up one of the- gun that lay alongside of him, waited for the rattlo to sound again.

locate! the sound carefully by listening acutely, and blazed away In the blackness for it was darker'n pitch. He listened awhile for a renewal of the rattler's waridngful sound, but it didn't come and so he turned over and fell asleep again. "Next morning he found a huge rattler with its head shot off Just sevunty-two feet from the point where he had rested with his head on his saddle. He was afraid that this shot mi?ht have been simply accidental, ami so he tested himself. He discovered that he could shoot Just as well in the dark, locating the object of his aim simply by hearing. He had remarkably acute ears, had Jink. As a matter of fact, his eyes were none of the best, and his ears guided his gun hand unerringly. When he first told us about this scheme of his of shooting in the dark, some of us were a bit incredulous, and so Jink undertook to prove the thing to us. "We caught fifteen of those big me?quite katydids that we have down In ok Arlzone they make about five times as big a noise as the katydids you have up this way and we glued their legs in a circle about a foot in diameter to a piece of paper. This we tacked to the wall of the long 'dobe back of Jink's plant, which he used for a storeroom. It was pretty dark in that 'dobe storeroom even with the one door open, but when the door was closed It was blacker'n the middle of Africa in there. "The katydids chirped away for dear life as they tried to release their long legj from the gjue which held them to the piece of paper. Well, Jink took three guns and went into that storeroom, closing the door after him. The storeroom was just fiftyfour feet In length. We waited outside for the sound of the shots. Jink waited for the katydid chorus to ejuiet down some before beginning shooting. When the katydids dropped their complaining and only let out their alarms one by one Jink started in. "When we took the piece of paper into the light, by the horns of the Oila. each and every one of them fifteen katydids gluea in a circle had been qunched through the paper into the wall by Jink's fifteen bullets!" "There can be no manner of doubt in life." began the New Yorker, "that this Jink McAtee was a " "That's the best gamble you ever made. He was," cut In the big man from tho Southwest. "And he had 'em all skinned to a frazzle down our way when it came to string shooting, too. Never heard of string shooting? Huh! That's odd! We all tako a try at it once or twice in our lives, but It's mighty dangerous work, and Jink was the only man that I ever met up with to whom it was nothing but child's play. "Never will forget how surprised we were when we saw Jink perform his first string shot. . He rigged up one of his guns so that a good gust o' wind would almost ha' let her off. and then he fastened a piece of ordinary twine to the trigger. Then, with the gun resting on Its side on the palm of his lett hand, he put one ball In her, cocked her and was ready. He told us that he was going to try to hit the middle leaf of a cactus plant that stood beside the trail about 35u feet from where Jink stood. . "Well, he gave us time to dodge out of range behind our Mobcs, and then he very gently tossed the gun, which he still held on the palm of his left hand, into tho air. The string attached to the trigger he held in his right hand. When the gun had struck just the petition in the air that Jink wanted he jerked the string in his right hand, and bang! off she went! We raced down to the cactus and there, sure enough, we found that Jink's string-shot ball had gone right through the middle of the middle leaf that he had tried for. "That was about as swell a string shot as was ever fired down my way, and even Jink himself and he was a modest man couldn't hold In a little Hush of pride over the achievement. You see, it was no slouch of a job to seize upon just precisely the millionth fraction of an instant while his gun was Just in proper position in the air to pull the string-rigged trigger, and Jink justly regarded 3.V) feet as a pretty fair range for successful shooting of that character." "Well," the New York man started to say. "if Jink wasn't " "Put he was," interrupted the Arizona giant. "You bet he was. Well, .71 ik showed up one afternoon with a Queer pair of things strapped to his feet the like of which we'd never seen before. They were roller skates, which were just coming in about that time. Jink had heard of 'em, and he sent back Fast for a pair. "We couldn't make out what the dickens Jink wanted to fool away his time with such effete' things as roller skates for, but he only grinned when we asked hinl about it. and said that he'd show us after a while. Well, he did show us all right. He practiced with the roller skates for a month or 5o. becoming more proficient with 'em eveiy el ay. The stunt that he particularly devoted himself to was that of whirling around on his toes so fast that he-looked like a huge top. He got so's he could whirl around this way for almost any length of time. "When he Rot it down as fine as this he Invited us to take a stroll outside the camp, as he was going to try a bit of shooting on roller skates. We went along, thinkin' that Jink would probably startle us with some feats of shooting while in full career on tho roller skates, but we never figured that mortal man could pull off the job of shooting that he accomplished that afternoon. "Jink fixed four bell targets at the four points of the compass equi-distant anel, with about a hundred feet separating 'em. Pight in tho middle of the space formed by these planted targets Jink set up a small wooden platform, about two feet wide. Then he stuck six guns into his belt, strapped on his roller skatess stepped up on the platform and requested us to duck behind a nearby 'dobe for a minute or so while he gave us some bell music. Said he was the only original and sureenough bell ringer. "And that's what he was. Jink started to whirl on the front wheels of his roller skates, and in about half a minute he was going around so fast that he looked like the governor on a rotary engine. Then bang! bang! bang! went Jink's guns, and ting! ting! "ting! went the bells of those targets! Darned if it didn't sound like sleighbell music, and it made some of us fellows from the North feel mighty lonesome for a taste of the snowy Northern winter. Whirling around like a top. making something like 1T0 revolutions to the minute. Jink continued blazing away at the targets that he couldn't see but could only sense, until he'd exhausted the cartridges in every one of his six guns, and then he slackened down on his skates and came to a stop. "lie was a bit dizzy after this extraordinary achievement in roller shooting, but that was his first trial at it. In time he became so scientific In roller shooting that he could plug dimes thrown In the air while he was whirling on the toes of his skates faster'n any flywheel." "Did he ever ' "Yep, frequently. That was one of the easiest of Jink's tricks. And his quickness of eye was amazin' all along the line. He often shot a lightning bug at a distance of 150 feet while th bug was still in the act of performing its illuminating stunt. How'd we know that he actually shot the lightning bugs? Why. because Jink made it n practice to just shoot their heads off, and we'd see the remaining portions of the bug drop to the ground, still sheddln" its light although decapitated too much surprised, I s'pose, to stop flickering so suddenly. "Another of Jink's hard, ones w:s his bullet-chasing trick. He was the only man ever known to pull oft that trick. He'd put two cartridges in his gun. One of them would onlv contain half the amount of powder hehl by the other, which, of course, rendered Its initial and muzzle velocity as well as Its general trajective speed only half as great. Well. Jink would fire with these two cartridges at a target 200 feet awav. He'd fire the half-charged one first, the other one following In an all but Inappreciable space of time afterward. The full-charged ball would catch the halfcharged ono midway between Jink and the targtt. and drive it to the target. Standing just half way between Jink and the target we could hear the click of the two balls when the full-charged one overtook the half-charged one, and they came together. It was a nice calculation on Jink's part, sure enough, but nicety of calculation was Jink's strong graft." The New York man straightened himself In his chair and attempted to fix the hupe man from the Southwest with a hard, hypnotic gaze. "What." he inquired hoarsely, "ever became of this Jink McAtee?" "Oh, he went over the Pig Divide while experimenting at his favorate amusement, poor devil." replied the vast Arizona man with a deep sigh of commiseration. "Jink invented a double-ended cartridge, you s.c not for commercial use, but simply for his own diversion and in the end it was his undoing. "This double-ended cartridge, as the name of it of course signifies, could be exploded from cither end. Jink invented the thing because there was nothing loft that he couldn't hit by direct firing, and so he wanted to try himself on rebound firing. He would fire one of these doubleended cartridges at a steel target. When the double-ended ball 'ud hit the stiel target, the unfired end would of course explode, and the ball 'ud come sailing back at a target that Jink had fixed close to the point from which he did the firing. "He got so he could ring up a quarterInch bullseye every time on the rebound of one of these double-ended bullets, but one day he essayed the job of knocking a short clay pipe out of his own moutii with one of the double-ender. He was a bit nervous that morning, probably, for when the ball came btck from the steel target it caught Jink In the temple and in he cashed, then and there." "Jink's was a sad, sad story," said the Nw York man with a sigh as he handed over the table to the Arizona giant a lyre which he had cleverly constructed out of the straws from his glass. York Sun.

TIIK srXIlAY-SC'HOOL LF.SSON. Thlril Quarter I-esson III The (piarr terly Review. The concession is almost universal among competent authorities that the Dock of Geneis was r.ut written in Us rrer-ent form by Moses, or, indeed, by any one person. The documentary hypothesis wins its way. It affirir.9 that fragment of stUl more ancient literature were ncvtn Into the text as we have it and that the process may not have been completed until as late a date as .the time of Ezra and Nehemiah. A child will rtaJfiy discover the "doublets" of Genesis, viz., the two accounts of Creation and the Flood, and the two names cf Deity. Confusion results unless some reason is given. The natural explanation, which would be accepted without objection In the caso of other literature, Is that of the interweaving of ancient documents. This is no lato and crude theory. It seems to have been first suggested by the devout scholarly French priest imon, 220 yeai J ago. iince then it has been worked out with infinite pains to the minutest detail by scholars o every nationality and creed. Again it 1 affirmed that ejencsis is not a transcript of actual history, but that th "origin of man," "raradise," and "the Flood" reached Israel in traditional form from other nations, and became the folk-lore of Canaan. In thus preserving these ancient traditions, tna editor of Genesis "created a genuine archaeology." But whil Genesis may thus have appropriated certain elements of an elder literature, it presents several remarkable lines of cleavage from the IJibles of the Tigris and the Nile; It differentiates Itself; it stands solitary. The first sharp line of cleavago is the absence of ths slightest tinge of racial bigotry. While "national narrowness" is almost a characteristic of other sacred book. Genesis deals with the universal man and Is so true to this ideal that it deserves the nolle title Georgo Adam Smith gives it when he callsyit the "Epic of Humanity." A second Una of cleavage is Its splendid optimism. The trend of other sacred literatures is toward pessimism. They clot on the decline of the race, the crop from gold to iron, and hopes of return tc. the Golden Age are scant. Hut Genesis sho.vs au uplift. In spite of occarional lapses, it pictures the pkne of humanity in the ultimate anal j bis to be an ascending one, aa evolution cf morality and spirituality. The third line of cleavage is most remat kable of alL It finds expression ;n a single word Monotheism. Whatever elements Genesis may appropriate from tradition and literature, it sloughs oft pantheism and polytheism. The unity and spirituality of God burst out of its pugc like a sunrise, before which all darkness takes its flight. That is the divinity and inspiration of Genesis! Etfore It critical questions of authorship and leliitlve antiquity seem comparatively insignificant. Whatever theories and hypotheses may maintain or fall. Genesis cannot lose Its place as the "Eilc of Humanity." THE rEACIIEU'S LANTERN. Lesson I God tho Creator of all things: The Mosaic account of creation is a miracle In words. Not to this present highly-cultured age, but Lack thre thousand years to the beginnings of literature, must w look for the most satisfactory statement of the origin of things. There, through the mists of human speculations, through rising and falling systems of philosophy, GenesU shines like a etar, ver ascendant. It is not attached to any system of geology, astronomy or biology; so, as numbers of these in succession have sui.k, it has never been submerged. The buuk may clath with an hypothesis. It never does with a fact. The rarrative Is elastio enough to take iu all the modern discoveries of physical science, but presents a rim of eteel to the vagaries of sciolist. Lesson II Beginning of sin and redemption: Modernize this lesson. Translate it into the language of to-day. Every boy and girl and older person can Lo shown to. be standing under a tree of test. Destiny is deciding now by one's attitude toward God. The chances of a happy outcome are bettor and worse "than those of Adam. Worse, because ofyun hereditary predisposition to a wrong choice, lietter, because of the provision cf mercy. Where sin abounds, grace much more abounds. Even now God's voice is ringing. "'Son! daughter! give rue thine heart!" One does not need to run the whole gamut of sin to Le lost. Merely declining to obey 0d is enough to exclude one from His presence. Lesson III Xoah saved- in the ark: Rivft fidgety scholars this paragraph certainly will; it is so scenic. It fairly teaches itself. The natural method is to describe the condition of the race before the flojl; the superlative wickedness which made that wholesale destruction an act cf mercy as well as of Justice; how the irretrievable misery of the human family, which had doomed Itself, "Aas cut short, and a chance given to begin anew under happier auspices. Lesion IV God calls Abraham: The genesis of anything always has a peculiar fascination. We never tire of origin. This lesson brings us to the fountain-head of the most Important racial stream that has ever coursed its way through history; & stream to whoso bosom the oracles of God were committed for twenty centuries; a stream thtt bore to earth the infant Messiah, as his type once loated on the Nile. A bird's-eye view of the winding of this stream, and the possible important function It :nay perform in the future of the kingdom of God, will prove an attractive introduction to the lesson. Lesson V Abraham and Lot: In this Incident Abraham's character thines resplendent. Two thousand years before Christ he showed the Christian spirit when he said to Lot, "Let there be no strife, between me and thee and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we bt brethren." Nor are these mere words. Abraham backs them up. He waives his right. The land was his. It was all his. Yet in noble maananimity he said to Lot: "Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thjelf, I pray thee, from me. If thou wilt take the left hand, then I wdl go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to tho left." Eot's selfishness crops out. He took advantage of Abraham's generosity. He cast his eye on the well-watered plain of Jordan, and chose it. He Journeyed east. It was not long before he exchanged pastoral life for urban, lie attempted the Impossible. A double service God and riches met the inveterate and historic outcome. Lesson VI God's promise to Abraham: There Is a significant change of name ordered in the case of each party concerned in the covenant. The Deity himself condescends to follow the custom of man, tnd at this juncture gave himself a new- and significant name; namely, 11 Phaddal the All-sufiiclent God. Abram's name is changed from Exalted Father to Father ot Nations, Abrauam. arai, my princess, to Sarah, princess urlversal. This change of name was a device of the eldest times, when means of intercommunication and record were Ecarce, to arrest attention and fix la memory Important events and change of circumstance. By this means it was advertised 'to Abram's motley clan, and the surrounding tribes as well, that this aged sheik t-hould miraculously beget a ku by his own and venerable wife, from whom, in turn, should spri.i? noisy masses and tumultuous nations. The. pledge of this Incredible circumstance was the name of the Deity. He was sufficient" for this thing. "I am the Almighty God." On that golltn hook Abraham could hang hU faith. And he did.

After suffering for vears from the declaration of Mr. Darwin that we are descended from monkeys, we ;re now Informed by Prof. Hoeckel. professor of science." at Jena University, that Darwin was nearly right, but that he exactly reversed the true conditionsIn othe-r words, that monkeys are de scended from man! Professor Ilaeckel has been regarded as one of tho foremo.-t exponents of the Darwinian theory, and to that end has been searching Hie forests of Java for traces of tho long-lost missing link, litit now he turns up and announces with all the accustomed gravity of a Herman professor tliit he lias discovered what he is pleased to regard as striking, not to say indubitable, evidence that the monkeys are an offspring of degenerate man.

Lesson VII Abrahams intercession: From various angles Abraham has been viewed in the preceding narrative; as a pilgrim; as prince of a growing trite; In war; in worship; receiving promises; entering Into a covenant; but here he appears in an entirely new capacity In the lovely and holy cff.ee of intercessor. Picture the disinterested quality of bis intervention on the part of the Solmites; compassion for sinners was his chief motive. Here is the first grot outstanding instance of Intercessory prayer in Scripture. Abraham !s here a type of Him who "ever lives to intercede." Lesson' VIII-Tri.il of Abraham's faith: The superlative strength , of Abraham's faith would never have bem fully revealed to himself, to angels, or to men, had it bee-n subjected to any less crucial test than this. For Abraham, everything centered in Isaac. In language of Wesleyan hymn, he was his "dearest idol." He had waited some thirty years for his birth, apd had enjoyed his sweet companionship for twentyfive years. To calmly, quickly, obediently, bclievlngly lay him cn God's altar as a whole burnt offering argued the sublimest faith of all the ages. A revelation to Abraham himself this certainly was. He was not aware until then of the tenacity of his own trust. His ability to bear the brunt of such an unexpected and awful deprivation disclosed it to him. Though the son of promise fhould be taken, his faith flamed up in triumph. He believed God would restore him or fulfill the promise by other means. Lesson IX Isaac the peacemakr: The very placidity of Isaac's character insures the brevity of the narrative. Happy are the people whose annals are dull! Absence of events argues peace and plenty. In such periods there Is the 'wholesome growth of domesticity, which is the underpinning Indispensable to the stability of the political superstructure. Effort to picture Isaac as an effeminate character meets with indifterent success. The life of Isaac is not "the echo of the life of Abrahim." Ilfs spiritual life is on a higher plane than that of his father. "His meekness and gentleness Indicate a decisive progress like that of his pure monogamy." His poise is admirable. The King of the I'hlllstlne rroposes a league with him as with an equal. "His quietness, tranquillity and confidence in the Lord have a glorious iue." lie will be forever recognized as one of the threa immortal progenitors cf tho Hebrew race. Lesson X Jacob at Eethel: The story of Jacob puts no premium on craft InHhe management of one's affairs. "The Lord used Jacob for holy purposes" yes; but in spite of his despicable conduct, not beca ise of it. The seal of Divine disapproval is clearly affixed. Those who think Chicane a little of it, at least indispensable to success, find no comfort or Justification in this instance. Jacob was terribly punished. He was separated forever from his doting mother; was exiled forty years; got paid back in his own coin, with compounded interest. As he practiced a fraud to get a blessing, so Laban practiced one on him to withhold the woman he loved. The way cf the transgressor is hard. Lessen XI Jacob a prince with God: The lesson of this thrilling scene is the same that Jesus sought to impress by the parables of the "Widow and the Unjust Judge," and the 'Borrowing Neighbor." As the widow kept urging her suit, and the neighbor kept knocking, so Jacob kept crying: "I will not let thee go except thou bless me." There must be a moral earnestness, which discovers Itself to itself and to others, before God will bless. As one has said, the arrow which is to pierce the tky must part from the bent bow and strained arm. Lesson XII The temjerance lesson: Now Israel's poet-king and prodigy of wisdom sets himself to the task of painting the drunkard's portrait. It Is a faithful likeness, and horrid because faithful. The royal artist persists in his undertaking, though his canvas grows lurid and frightful under arh successive stroke of the pencil. His picture has proved a veritable danger signal, flashing iu warning color upon successive generations for three thousand years. CHRISTIAN KMJIMVOH.

Tople fer Sept. iTiH Mission: Growth of the KliiKiIoui Psnlm lxxll. Robert Stewart, miseionary martyr in China. asked, on his last visit home, "How can you say, 'poor missionaries?' I tell you It is a life the highest archangel in heaven might envy." Alas, that the churches at home have so little of the spirit of the missionaries abroad and on the frontier. When our Nation adds to Itself a nw Island, every citizen .feels enlarged; but the kingdom of God may add to itself a new nation, and most of the citizens of that kingdom will know little about it and care less. The marvel of history is that missions should progress so mightily with support so inadequate. What is an annual gift to foreign missions of less than 40 cents a 3 ear, when compared with the ability and ciuty of the average Christian? And yet this note of discouragement is warranted only when we look to what is possible. Actually, enormous sums are paid annually for missions, some ?2,0),(M), and the amount is constantly Increasing. No operation in all the world, whether of state or of commerce, equals in extent, complexity or importance, the operations of Christian missions. Literally, they are changing the face of the earth. Every Christian, by virtu of his Christianity, is a cosmopolitan. It Is his pride that he is a citizen of a kingdom reaching further than Great Britain. The Hindu, the Jap, the Hottentot, the Fijian, is Ids fellow-citizen. :o secular newspaper has 30 wide a political sweep as the religious newspaper. No student of worldly affairs requires so wide and profound knowledge of men and events as the student of the affairs of Christianity. When Christians come thus to recognize their world-wide field and exult in it, the entire attitude of the church toward missions will be changed. That patriarch of India missionaries. Dr. Jacob Chambsrlain, has well said. "The time has come for each church to support two pastors one for the thousands at home, another for the myriads abroad." Tho time has come for every church to put itself In. definite, vita!. Individual connection with thia great work, so that missions shall mean more than boards and societies tnd secrsteries and contribution boxes; they shall be an accepted part of the church work, as truly.r.s the sexton's salary. What can Christian Lndeavor do to hasten this spread of the kingdom? We can read more missionary books. And what branch of literature is bo fascinating to a Christian? We can promote the circulation of missionary magazines. Give thm the constituency of the great secular Journals, and they will have a more remarkable rrcssage to give, in a more effective way. We can prepare ever more interesting missionary meetings; though I have h?ard of Endearor missionary meetings so interesting that they had to be rtpaated before the entire church. We can train ur members to give systematically, Intelligently and liberally. Already mure than twenty thouiand of them have promised to give one-tenth cf their income to church work. That is a gooi beginning, but it is only a Uginrdiig. And in the midst of all this, constantly and urgently, wc can pi ay for that blessing of the Fpirlt. without which all endeavors are vain, but with which they are certain to succeed. , AMOS It. WELLS. tlon. the only one which has been ca'led to our attention being the reputed fact that children, when lost in the woods adopt monkey habits. In our experiences we have never come across a lost child hanging from a tree limb by its tall, nor have we seen one sitting on its hind quarter with one hand under its armpit, scratching and chattering vicious monkey language "or have we ever seen a lost child obediently following an Italian with a hand organ and climbing the water spout with entstretched cap for pennies of less unfortunate children, who have never been bt Still, Professor Haeckel may be right after all, and the monkeys who inhabit the tropical refclons of tho earth mav I.- the descendants of the babes in the wood' who, as we have been falsely taught to believe, were cared for by the robins who buried them in leaves. James King will not hang for the murder of Williamson Carlson, at Hibbing, Minn., on Aug. 23. Imprisonment for life is the expiation he will make for his crime. fTi the Jury at Duluth. after being out all night, on Friday returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree.
