Ourt of 1,486 ex-students of Girton, Newham, Somerville Hall, Holloway and Alexandria, the women’s colleges of England, only 208 are reported as married. This leads to the conclusion that the more learned a woman is the less use she has for a husband.

SoME women bicyclists have a way of dividing their skirts at the moment of mounting by using a single safety pin tospin the front of the skirt at the hem to the back, between the feet. In this way all the value of the divided skirt is secured with none of its ugliness when walking. : TuE southerly winds of the past few weeks in Essex, Ct., have driven mosquitoes into the town in great quanti. ties and of snch size as never before known. The farmers are obliged to cover their working cattle, and in some cases the cows have been almost dried up because they will not eat in the pasture. i A DERMATOLOGIST has lately promulgated the theory that sunburn israther a good thing in its way. Theaction of the sun upon the skin*fs really beneficial,|he says, and it is only in the first place that the effect is unpleasant.

Dr. SHELDON JACKsON, the government agent in Alaska, states that there are now 600 head in the reindeer herds of that territory. The domestication has proved a success and will be likely to contribute largely to the development of Alaska'’s interior. The ricn . mines of the Yukon river are located 500 miles across a desolate country. The only practicable way of getting supplies scross this waste is by the ~ reindeer.

GOLDEN TEXT.—Thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which He hath given thee.—Deut. 8:10. : | THE SECTION includes the history in Numbers 21 to 26, and the whole of Deuteronomy. . THE TlME—Early in B. C. 1451 (Usher,) near the close of the fortieth year of the exodus, jiand a short timé before the death of Moses | THE PLACE—The Israelites were encamped {ln the broad space between_the River Jordan jand the mountains of Moab. abcut opposite Jericho, on the eastern bank of the'river. fThis tract has a breadth of four or five miles The space occupied by the Israelitish camp Iconsisted. in the main, of alarge and luzurious toasis upon this bank,slightly raised above the Jbam'en flat. —Rev. E. T. Espin. f_’ ) EXPLANATORY. b

~ The characteristics of the new home are set forth by Moses, in full view of the Promised Land, to cheer and encourage the Israelities to take possession; and to do all that was possible to make them faithful and obedient, so that they might retain possession, and enjoy the blessings and accomplish the work of the true people of God. V. 8. “That ye may inerease mightily,” because they would be fruitful, and long lived, and healthy, if they obeyed. ‘‘Asthe Lord thy God hath promised thee,” repeatédly to Abraham, to Jacob, to Moses. . ‘‘ln the land that floweth with milk and heney,” a favorite phrase for great fertility, and an abundance of the luxuries as well as necessities of life. : i V. 4. ‘The Lord.” Jehovah (as'always when printed in small capitals) the ever-living God, self-existing, the source of Life. ‘‘Our,” belonging to us, the One we worship. “Our God,” Elohim in the plural, as is usual all through the Old Testament. | The plural expresses not many Gods (for it is repeatedly declared that He is one, a unity), but the manifold nature of God, including all'the attributes of being, all good qualities, all powers, all anthority. “‘ls one Lord.” This statement contains more than (1) the truth that God is a unity; there are not many Gods but only one; but also (2) He is the alssolute, ‘eternal God, and He alone. : " V. 5. ‘“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart.” The specification, ‘‘with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,” is intended to include every faculty that can possibly come in question. He that has thislove in his heart has the fountain and source of all good. V. 6. “These words which I command thee this day,” chapter 5 and onwards, ‘‘shall be in thine heart,” learned by heart, understood and loved. | .

V. 7. “And thou shall teach them diligently unto thy children.” In every way, by home instruction, and by schools, and by Sabbath worship and teaching. ‘‘And shalt talk of them when thou sittest in ‘thine house,” ete. The atmosphere of the home shall be full of these truths. Men will speak often of that which is of the greatest interest. Conversation is a marvelous power for culture and training. V. 8. “Thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand,” ete: It|was a literal and formal interpretation jof this command which led to the use of phylacteries upon the arm and upon the forehead. These are - small cubical leather cases, in which are parchments containing four passages of Scripture in four columns (Ex. 18: 1-10, 11-16; Deut. 6: 4-9 and 11: 18-21). These are bound upon the arm and between the eyes by leathér thongs. But the real meaning of this command is that God's. law should be in every deed of the hand, in the sight of the eyes, in the plans of the head. Every part of the daily life should be ruled by God’s law. P 9. ‘“Write them upon the posts of thy house:” This is the origin of the Jewish Mezuzah, ‘‘the name given to the square piece of parchment, inscribed with Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:18-21, which is rolled up in a small cylinder of wood or metal, and affixed to the righthand post of every door in a Jewish house. : e : 10. ‘“‘Give thee.great and goodly cities, whieh thou buildest not:” The Israelites were about to make a*great change in their mode of living, from tents to eities; from a wild and wandering to a civilized and settled life. This exposed them to special dangers, because the change was sudden and these new comforts were not gradually gained by their own exertions, but were already prepared for them by the ungodly nations that were to be driven out. ““When thou shalt have eaten and be full:” then comes the danger which everaccompanies prosperity and luxury. 12. “Beware lest thou forget the Loord:” forget all you owe to Him, for‘get to think of Him, to worship Him, to love and obey Him. | : 18. ‘“Thoushalt fear:” reverence, look up to with awe, feel how great He is, and how He will punish those whorebel against. Him. ‘“And swear by His name:” Not profanely, but all legal oaths shall be in His name, and not in the name of the héathen gods, for that is a recognition of them as real gods, and is a step.in the direction of worshiping them. : 14. “Ye shall not go after other gods:” to which they would be tempted by association with their heathen neighbors. ; " : 15. “Thy God is a jealous God:” that is, determined to have no rival. ‘“The anger of the Lord:” His intense feeling: a%a;inst sin which leads Him to punish. “Destroy thee from off the face of the earth:” because they would no longer be His people, and kingdom, and proclaim. His truth, and carry out His purwoses sl

CARICATURE CULLINGS.

A wALL in a Roman street, which was closed up about 100 A. D., when discovered in 1857 was found scratched all over with rude caricatures. One was a gibe at the Christians. Tar South sea bubble produced caricatures galore. The only woman artist in this line was Mrs. Trollope, whose volume on American domestic manners in 1832 created a sensation. .

- CARICATURE is a universal practice among the Chinese and Japanese, but owing to their crude taste and lack of perspective their efforts are not interesting to outsiders. The Greeks,strange to say, when they wanted to indvlge in caricature chose their gods as subjects. ; . Tuar the Egyptians were a goodnatured set and fond of wine may be Jearned from the caricatures they left. One belonging to the New York Historical socicty was evidently a burlesque on some well-known picture.

THE REVIVAL AND IMPORTS. A Natural Recnlfof Returning Commer- _ Aol osperity. : The ggﬁub.gx:apres's continues to groan daily over the increase of imports. Catching at every straw which they think may serve to keep them and their McKinley tariff issue above water, our republican friends point™ to the difference between the imports - of the last few months and those of the corresonding months last year. They refuse to compare the recent figures with those of the corresponding - periqd in the fiscal year 1893, but persist 1n telling their readers that the country is going to ruin because we are importing more goods now than were imported in the depths of the panic. -

It is true that the imports during the months which have elapsed since the enactment of the new tariff have been larger than the imports during the corresponding months of last year. Itis encouraging that this increase has #taken place. - Our republican friends should bear in mind the fact that at the same time the country has been experiencing a remarkable revival of business activity and confidence. Has the increase of imports paralyzed domestic industry? Let the great. and growing demand for consumption, the extraordinary list of increase of - wages, the resumption of work in hundreds of idle factories, the advance of prices, and the many other - proofs of returning prosperity, answer ; this question. It was inevitable that recovery from panic depression should be accompanied by an increase of im'ports, and this increase would have taken place even under rates like those 'of the MeKinley act. Republicans ' know, or ought to know, that the im- ! ports of dutiable goods were considerably larger inthe fiscal year 1893, when |‘ the McKinley duties were in force, than they have been in the fiscal year ' just ended, although raw sugar was free from duty then and has been dutiable since August 28 last. The following table shows the value of the imports during the eleven months ending ’ on May 31 for the last thrée years, the 1 last three figures of each numbér having been omitted: « ‘ :

It is encouraging, and it is a sign of returning confidente and prosperity, that the imports of' 1805 are larger than those of 1804. The McKinley rates did not prevent the purchase of foreign goods by the people -of this country, who shipped to foreign lands last year $550,000,000 worth of the products of agriculture, with other exports amounting to about $250,000,000.- During the’ panic, however, their foreign purchases were abnormally small; now they are Increasing again - But the increase has not brought the totals up to the level of 1893, and to this fact—so carefully avoided 'or igpored by them—we direct the attention of republicans and républican journals. [fhe following table will enable them to compare ‘the imports under the leading schedules during the eleven months ending on May 31 of this year with those of the corresponding months in the fiscal years 1894 and 1893. They always stop with 1894, because the figures for 1893 (a year during which the McKinley tariff was in full force) make their partisan pleas and arguments ridiculous. For’ convenience in tabulation we have cut off the last three figures of each number: sl ¢

Asin the case of the totals in ,our first table, so with respect to every one of these items, the value of; the imports has been less in 1895 than it was in 1893. We have repeatedly urged our republican contemporaries to admit the existence of this difference, and to comment upon it, but we have urged in vain.—N. Y. Times. t i g e s o @ , Coy Dr. Harrison. P Undoubtedly a square, honest declaration by Harrison that he would accept the nomination if it were offered. by the conventiom would help him. Nobody supposes he is actively seeking it, or that he will engage in any undignified scramble for it, but everybody believes he wants it, and ' a candid acknowledgment of this fact would raise up new friends for him. The people like frankness among men holding or desiring public station. Office seeking is creditakle if pursued in a manly, open way. The desire to gain. the presidency, even by one who has already held it, is a praiseworthy ambition. Some of the iﬁésh illustrious men of the country spent a dozen ora score of years in seeking it. They told their fellow citizens that they wanted it, and their fellow citizens honored them for the avowal. On the other hand, the coyness, the mystery and the evasiveness affected by many of the presidency seekers of the present day anger and disgust the people.—St. Louis Globe-Demoerat. =~ =
