‘ 'DEATH OF SAUL. International Sunday-School Lesson for . September 22, 1889, | " [Specially arranged from S. S. Quarterly.] LessoN Texr—l Sam. 81:1-13. . GoLpEN Texr—The face of the Lord is against them that do evil.—Ps. 84:16. ' CENTRAL TRUTH—*They shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.” - TmiMme—B. C. 1055-6. Four or five years after the lastlesson. : Prace—The plain of Jezreel, a part of the plain of Esdraelon, between little Hermon on the north, at whose base the Philistines were encamped at Shunem; and Mount Gilboa on the south, on whose slopes the Israelites were encamped. The two camps were thus four or five miles apart. This was the same battle-ground where Gideon and his 300 overthrew the Midianites. PARALLEL, ACCOUNT—I Chron, 10:1-14, SAUL—Sixty or seventy yearsold; capital at Gibeah. : y

Herps ovER HARD Praces—l. The Philistines: the old enemy of Israel, on . the coast of the Mediterranean. Fought against jsrael: see Place. Their object was to ravage the country, and to take possession of the great caravan route to Damascus, for their commerce. 2. Saul’s sons: all of his sons were killed, except the youngest, Ishbosheth. 4. Took a sword, and fell upon it: his army is »outed ; his trust gonej; his sons slain; God has forsaken him. David might have been there to help, but he has persecuted his only true friend. 5. Died with him: being answerable for the king’s life, he feared punishment. 6. All hig men: probably the soldiers of the royal body-guard. 9. His head: placed in the temple of Dagon at Ashdod (1 Chron. 10:10). 10. Armour: in l the temple of Ashtaroth at Beth-shan of, ‘Ashkelon. - Beth-shan: a fortress on the hejghts overlooking the Jordan, twelve meﬁbes south of the Sea of Galilee. 11. ‘Jabesh-Qilead: a town east of the Jordan, ten m:les from Beth-shan. ; ‘ LessoN Facrs—Between the events of the last. lesson and this five years intervene. David knows no rest for the sole of his foot. Jonathan sees ‘him onge, but clings with filial devotion to his father. Things go from bad to worse with Saul. At last the end draws near. The old-time enemy, the Philistine, appears; Saul is defeated; good Jonathan and his two brothers are slain with the edge of the sword; Saul flees;, is overtaken; wounded. He begs his armor-bearer to slay him to save him from the disgrace of capture and the ignominy of torture. His armor-bearer refusing, he draws his own sword, and wildly falling upon it, ¢ommits suicide. The armor-bearer follows his example. In their exultation the Philistines cut off his head and sght it in triumphal | procession around among theircities, while they nail his headless body to the city wall at Beth-shan. Finally the men of JabeshGilead, hearing of this indignity to the ] body of their King, organize a rescuing party, march ‘in-the darkness of the night, recover the body, and, burying it under a tree in Jabesh, fast seven days as a token of respect for their fallen monarch. CommENTS—That which will impress many scholars as remarkable in this lesson, is the fact that men so utterly different in character-as Saul and Jonathan should be united in their deaths. One would think that while so vile a man as Saul deserved so inglorious an end, so magnanimous a man as Jonathan merited a different death. Any novel would have brought things out differently. The word of God, however, is more novel than any mnovel, and is often very hard to understand, unless we take into account the other world. Judged merely by experiences of this world, things are all wrong. If therebe no future life, then all is frightfully bad in this world. If so noble a man asJonathan is to have so little in this world, and so cruel a man as Saulis to have so much; if Herod is to sit on the throne in luxury, while John- languishes in prison; if the Nazarene is to be nailed to the cross, while Caiaphas reclines on damask cushions in ease; if, I say, thatis all _that there is to look at, then of all imagina‘ble worlds this is the worst. Death does not end all. Our Golden Text is again good this week, for.its says: ‘‘The wicked is driven away in his wickedness, but the righteous hath hope in His death.” What if Saul and Jonathan lie in the same field, dead? Nay, what if Jonathan alone is ‘slain, and Saul live and reign many years? What if John suffer and Herod rejoice, and what if Jesus'pine away on the cross, and Pilate complacently carry on his earthly government? The end will set all right, for then will appear the true character of all thatis earthly., Then the true gold of character will-be found to be the only th’i]%g/&hat will l stand the fire of the refiners. “Let all suf- | ferers be patient, committing the keeping | of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto | a faithful Creator. The fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. Then will i Saul and Jonathan, Herod and John, Pilate and Jesus, stand no longer in such apparently false positions. Our scholars may as well know first ‘as fast that Jonathan is apt in this world to fare worse than Saul, and David often has to bear in patient, forgiving manner whathe never has deserved. | The true Christian recognizes this and endures patiently, for he has respect unto the } - recompense of the reward. Looked at from the stand-pointof time, the rectitude 1 ‘of a Jonathan is folly. Looked at from the stand-point of eternity, the envy of i of a Saul is suicidal. Thus while the Mount Gilboa draws ‘the same dark curtain over ’ the lives of such different men, the curtain rising and displaying the scenes of another world 'reveals them in:very different aspects, and weare led to exclaim: “Letme -die the death of the righteous, and st my ga.st end be like His!”’—Rev. A. F. Schauffler. ' . PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. ol 1. God gives us all many opportunities to live happy®*and useful lives. g 1 2. Life is a probation, testing us whether we will serye God or not. b 8.

MAK.NG COTTON TIES LR Gt H | e ¥ Siksd 2 The Process Employed jn the New Mills : ..+ Down South. The new rolling mill at Rome is turning out ten tons of cotton ties a day. . il : Xt this rate it will make eunough to band one-twelfth- of the .cotlon crop, and by running night and day, it will supply one-sixth of the whole demand. This is one of the results of the Rome boom two years ago, and the active work of the business men to bring new industries there. Mr. Nevegold. the president of the rolling mill, is a Pennsylvanian, who was raised in the manufacture of hoop iron, and knows all the details of management by wbich the business is made profitable. As we stood looking at the volls through which the billets were passing the white hot iron came out ¢f the next to the last roll a long, thin, incandescent. hoop, which might havae been compared to a fiery serpent. » Instead of pulling it straight out and sending it back through the last roll by the reverse motion, the boy who stood there seized the end with u pair of tongs as soon “as it appeared and bent it round him to the last roll, which seized it and carried it through in a:second. Meantime he was standing inside the fiery circle that whipped by hislegs so fast that he seemcd in imminent danger of having his calves burned off. . . : “That was the secret of my father's success,” said Mr. Nevegold; ‘‘when I was a boy I started that method move from laziness than any thing else, and I became so expert at it that it was regularly adopted. We found that we could run it through the rolls quicker and get-better results ttat way, so we have used that plan ever since. *“lt is not necessary, however, for the boy to stand theré and bend the hot hoop about his legs. I have a guide box which leads it round to the last roll and dispenses with the boy altogether. I will put that’ on by-and-bv- 7 .

This mill first takes pig iron of the various grades used to make the tough composition for cotton ties and puddles it. Then it is hammered into blooms, which are reheated and rolicd down into small billets.

These billets are cut into short picces and heated again. Passing throuch a number' of rolls they come out at last one thirty-second of an inch thick and forty-six feet long. They are then run through a smoothing machine and trimmed at the ends to a length of forty-four feet. This is cut into four pieces and the ties made. - All that vemains is to put them up in bundles of thirty, with thirty buckles strung on one of the ties. The thirty ties are placed® in a long flat box, just wide enough for two layers of “fifteen to lie side by side. The buckles are put on one of the inside ties, and the whole pile is doubled over and bound with short pieces of hoop iron. The process of bundliing usually takes two minutes, and an expert can put up a bundle in one minute. It takes four hundred bundles to make the day!s output of ten tons, and one hand can about keep up with the ties as they come out of the cutting machine. :

The puddling is done at night to avoid the heat. A singular fact in this connection is that the puddlers don’t suffer’from heat as much here a 3 they do in Pennsylyania. : “I don’t know why it is,” said Mr. Nevegold, “but they do not seem to get overheated so easily. It is nos such an overpowering heat here as in the North—not so ,sutfocating:” - Possibly this is due to a greater humidity in Pennsylvania. \%atever it is, the men feel the difference very greatly and aré better able to stand up to their work in hot weather. —®tlanta Constitution. e

FACTS ABOUT WATEPR. .The Extent to Which It Mingles with’Ap= i parently Solid Bodies. The extent to which water mingles with bodies apparently the most solid, is very wonderful. The glittering opal, which beauty wears as an ornament, is only flint and water. Of every twelve mndred ‘tons of earth which a landholder has in his estate, four hundred are:water. The snowcapped summits of Snowdon and Ben Nevis have many million tons of water in 'a solidified form. In every ‘plaster-of-paris statue ‘which an Italian carries through our streets for sale; there is one pound of water to revery four pounds of chalk. - The air we breathe contains five _grains of water to each cubic foot of /its bulk The potatoes and the turnips which are boiled for our @inner, thave, in their raw state, the one sev-‘enty-five. per cent., the other ninety ‘per cent. of water. If a man weighing ten stones were squeezed flat in a hyAraulic press,seven and a halfstone of ‘water would run out, and only two and ‘a half of dry residue remain. - A man is, chemically speaking, forty-five pounds of carbon and nitrogen. diffused through five and a half pailtuls of water. = - .

In plants we find water thush;nin- ’ gling no less wonderfully. A san-flow-l er evaporates one and a quarter pints ‘ of water a day, and a cabbage ‘about } the same quantity. A wheat-plant exhales, in' a.. hundred ‘and seventy-two .vdays. about one hundred thousand grains of water. An . acre of growing wheat, on this calculation, draws and passes out about ten tons of water per day. The sap of plants is the medium through which this mass of fluid is conveyed. It forms a delicate pump, u%‘whieh the watery particles run with the rapidity of a swift stream. ' By the action of the sap, various properties may be communicated to the growing plant. Timber in France, is, for instance, dyed by various colors being -mixed with water, and poured over by tho roo of o txse. Dablns o 0 coloved by a similar process,—N.

—¢The good old days” were not better than our own days, after all. The work was every whit as hard, the hours of labor were longer, the wages and the purchasing power of those wages far less than at present, the home comforts much more scanty. It would be well if the ‘‘dissatisfied brother’’ would sometimes refléct upon the changes which have been wrought in the condition of the working people of this country in the lasthalf century —Spiced Peaches: When there are more peaches on hand than can be used to advantage while still fresh, peal and slice them, or simply brush them, removing the stones. Put them over the fire in the -preserving kettle with enough water to cover them, allowing a tablespoonful of videgar to each pint; spice them highly with any mixed ground spice preferred, and stew them gently to a pulp. When cold, putin air tight jars like other preserves. : e

—There is undoubtedly a .need in poultry culture for education and skill. Many failures are the direct result of the lack of knowledge. The trouble generally is that the beginner has given no particular ‘study to the culture of poultry, and often times does not even take a farm paper that has instructive correspondence upon the subject, by which they could learn about the subject they are attempting to handle. o

—Cream Nectar: One ounce of tartaric acid, one pound of white sugar, juice of one lemon, three pints of water. Boil five minutes; when nearly cold, add white of one egg, well beaten, with one heaping tablespoon of flour and two teaspoons of wintergreen essence. Bottle and keep in a cool place. Take one tablespoon of this sirup, and half a tumbler of water, fresh from the well; add quarter of teaspoonful of soda, stir quickly, and drink as soon as it commences to foam. This is a delightful drink for hot weather.—Western Plowman. °

—A member of the. Maine pomological society said at a public meeting that he could tell what kind of afarmer a man is ‘by his fruits,” if about apple-marketing time. If his apples were large, smooth, handsome, free from worms and bruises, he is put down as a good farmer. But if, on the contrary, his, apples are small, pale in color, with scabby surface, poor in quality and covered with dents and: bruises from careless handling, he is at once classed with poor farmers. The first-mentioned ‘man has found orcharding to pay; the other will inform you that there is no money in the business. G

PLOWS AND PLOWING. Comments That Should Receive Thoughtful Consideration, Plowing is something more than stirring or heaving the soil, If properly done it turns completely under the surface with the weeds, stubble, grass, stalks and other trash that may be upon it, and brings to the surface the under soil to be acted upon by thedifferent elements that will aid materially to make available a portion, at least, of the plant food it may contain. ; There is certainly a great variety of plows adapted to a large variety of soil and kinds of work. But there is considerable in the handling of the plow as well as in the way it is constructed. And wb%woﬁld under ordinary circumstances be considered a second or ‘third rate plow, can, in the hands of a ‘thorough plowman, with a good team, } be made to do really better work, than ‘a much better plow in the hands of a iman who is incapable of properly man‘aging it. Some plows if properly ad"just_;ed will turn the soil completely over, others seem to. set it on edge, while others put the soil in almost any position between these two. Of course some plows do better work in - one kind of soil, and some in other kinds. It is quile 'an itéem in doing good work to secure a plow that is adapted to the kind of soil and work that is wanted to be done, adjust properly and handle right. A plow 'if made right ought to do the best work when it is running level; if it won’t, or is made to run on the point or heel, it will not do the work that it is adapted for as well asif it could be run léel.- It is thorefore not always the fault of the ‘plow that' good work is not done, al‘though a poor plowman is very willing to lay the fault to the plow let the ‘quality be what it may. - ~ Oneof the objections to & number of ‘sulky plows is that instead of carrying ‘the plow, as a properly constructed ‘sulky should do, the plow is made to carry the sulky, and instead of a light ~running plow the draft is increased to the amount of the weight of the sulky. ‘and driver. A good judge of a plow ‘can tell by its constrction whether or ‘not it will do good work in the soil he wanta fo plow.

. IN REALMS OF ROYALTY. * "Tue Czar of Russia speuds an hour a day chepping down trees. His ancestors found more fun in chopping off heads, ol THr English papers say that the Shah is & voracious sightseer and never seems to tire of examining the novelties he meets with. 3 ~ It is said that the German Emperor has made Victoria, his royal grandmother, com-mander-in-chief of a regiment of G.rman dragoons. : : . THE Prince of Wales has taken to transferring many of his lesser social duties to his eldest son, Albert Victor, alias Prince Collars and Cuffs. TaE Czar is occasionally a generous patron of the arts. He has just paid the Russian ‘painter, Semiridski, six thousand pounds for a colassal picture of Pkryne. SomMk idea of the Shah’s traveling expenses may be formed from the statement that Cook’s charge for what railroad and hotel expenses he had disbursed on the Shah’s acconnt was £25,000. : PriNCEss SoPHIE is the best looking .of Emperor Frederick’s daughters, but she is not exactly pretty. She has a pleasing face, however, and a soft, simple manner, Victoria is decidedly “German.” Margaret is plain. TEE Queen is so tired of sitting for portraits that she has refused to hBve her picture taken for the Victoria art gallery at Melbourne, but she 1s willing to allowa replica of her jubilee portrait by Angeli to be made for the colony which bears her name. THE Princess of Wales adds to her many other accomplishments that of being an able and competent musician. Not infrequently at private concerts at the St. James’ Palace she plays in the quartettes. Her musical talents are the more remarkable as she sufters from slight deafness. : NorraiNG is more charming, says the London World, than to see the Prince of Wales with the Queen. His manner is so tender, so deferential and so affectionate, and ha watches over her with such care, attending to her every want, and suggesting any thing that he thinks will please her.

. ADMIRABLE ADVICE. WaEN fortune smiles on you, don’t examine her teeth. Br neighborly; be honorable. Make sacrifices rather than dispute with neighbors. BEWARE of those who do not show their love for humanity by their every day acts and utterances. BEroRE we passionately desire any thing which another enjoys we should examine into the happiness of its possessor. SnovLp ‘misfortune overtake you, retrench, work harder, but:. never fly the track; confront difficulties with unflinching perseverance. Should you then fail, you will be honored; but shrink, and you will be despised. : : LeArN from nature not to divide your energies unduly. Her compromises frequently look like failures. The land is good for men to live on ; the seais good for fishes to live in; but a sea-marsh is good for neither, being too wet for men and too dry for fishes. . —— e & Mere Bundles of Nerves. ‘ Some peevish, querulous people seem mére bundles of nerves. The least sound agitate their sensoriums and ruffles their: tempers. No doubt they are born so. But may not their neryvousness be ameliorated, if not entirely relieved? Unquestionably, and with Igpstetter’'s Stomach Bitters. By cultivating their digestion, and insuring more complete assimilation of the food with this admirable corrective, they will experience a speedy and very perceptible gain in nerve quietude.
