THE NEXT PRESIDENT. Republicans and democrats alike arc interested fn the selection of the next president of the United States, ai,d the rvnk and file of both these great parties stand together in one rtgard and that Is that they want a man who will truly represent the people and their best interests. At the last election President Roosevelt received the greatest plurality any president ever received. While he had more than enough republican
votes to r.ccure his election, his plurality was swelled by the votes of hundreds of thousands of democrats, and these democrats voted for the Man, in v.hoin they felt confident. All his nets since the last election have justified the confidence the people reposed in him. President Roosevelt has fought for the people atainst predatory wealth and their hirlings, political grafters, and while his victories in many cases have only been partial yet even this has been a victory of principle, leaving room for further progress without so much opposition. And it is President Roosevelt's successor to whom the people must look for continuing the work of reform. Whether he be democrat or republican ho must be for the peo

great parties can afford to differ in regard to their political beliefs and principles, but they cannot afford to differ in demanding that honest and sincere candidates head both party tickets. President Roosevelt has sounded the note of warning for the voters of the republican party and has shown them that the leaders of predatory wealth with a $3,000,000 corruption fund, are already at work trying to secure control of the next republican convention. Furthermore this ?..".' "0.000 corruption fund is to be turned on the democratic party also, and the work is even now going on insiduotisly to control its delegates and secure the nomination of a corporation man to head its ticket. If the corporations win out and each
party is lead by a corporation man
fho leaders of predatory wealth may well say, "Heads I win, tails you loose." Rut if the great mass of voters in both -nrties use their influ

sure of the safety of his secret, the
chemist went home to his dinner. A chimney sweep, or a boy disguised as such, wide awake in chemistry, was on the watch and followed the secret keeper to Charing Cross, and, sure that he would not return that day, the sooty philosopher hied rapidly back to Temple Bar, ascended the low building, dropped down the flue, saw all he wanted to and returned, carrying with him the mystery of making citric acid. The monopoly of tbe inventor was gone a few months after, and the price was reduced by four-fifths. The poor man was heartbroken and died shortly afterward, ignorant of the trick by which he had been victimized. London Spare Moments.
THE LOG JAM.
Quick and Sure Must Be the Workers - When It Goes Out. Log jams are not an abnormal part of the riverman's work, as most people suppose, but a regular incident of the day's business. In the breaking of them the Jam crew must be quick and sure. I know of no finer sight than the going out of a tall jam. The men pry, heave and tug sometimes for hours. Then all at once the apparently solid surface begins to creak and settle. The men zigzag rapidly to shore. A crash and spout of waters mark where the first tier is already toppling into the current. The front melts like sugar. A vast, formidable movement agitates the brown tangle as far as you can see. and, then with another sudden and mighty crash the whole river bursts into a torrent of motion. If everything has gone well, the men are all safe ashore, leaning on their peavles, but ready at any instant to

The story of the reunion of Joseph
with bis family, and their subsequent residence in Egypt, one of the most attractive narratives of Genesis, is
(found in chapters 42.30. Only a small
part is given in the lessons of the year. Chapters 42, 43, 44, should be read, so as to bring freshly to mind the incidents which took place during the visits of Joseph's brethren in Egypt. The pathos of the 44th chapter is most touching. Judah's appeal is certainly unsurpassed. 1. "Could not refrain himself." Compare Gen. 43:31. His tests had been severe enough to assure him that he could trust his brothers. "To go out." He did not wish any witnesses of the tender scene. 2. "Wept aloud." Tears of joy. "The Egyptian," etc. They were standing outside. "House." Household attendants.
3. "I am Joseph." He spoke doubtless in his old natural manner, and
in their own tongue or dialect. He had been possibly disguising his voice and was dressed in Egyptian fashion. "Could not answer him." They were astonished that they could not speak. "Troubled." Dismayed. 4. "Whom ye sold into Egypt." Perhaps this was rather to identify himself than to reproach them. Besides he wished to make it clear that he forgave them completely. 5. Joseph reassured them. "For God did send me before you to preserve life." He does not intend to condone their crime, but to show that God had not allowed it to work out evil. See also 30:20. 6. "Two years." The famine had yet five years to run. "Neither earing nor harvest." "Earing" is an old word for plowing," perhaps allied with the Latin root, which appears in. the
word, "arable."
7. "Preserve you a posterity." Remnant." R. V. To leave yon de
scendants. "Save jour lives by a great deliverance." The meaning is not very clear; the marginal reading is, "to be a great company that escape." 8. Again Joseph dwells on God's providence in regulating events so as
to be a blessing instead of a curse. "A father to Pharaoh." A metaphorical use of the word, meaning a wise and kindly adviser and administrator. Compare Is. 22:21. "Lord of all his house." Gen. 41:40. 9. "Haste, ye." Josepli knew that his father was grieving over Benjamin's absence, and Joseph himself was anxious to see his father. "Lord of all Egypt." This would explain why he did not go himself, besides being a source of gratification to the old man. 10. "Land of Goshen." This territory "lay on the eastern border of the Nile Delta, and furnished excellent pasture. It evidently lay on the
Syrian frontier (Gen. 46:28.)" It is described as "the best of the land." Gen. 47:6. The patriarch's household was pastoral, and so the district was
in every way specially suited to them.
"Thou." Jacob. His children and
grandchildren should be near Joseph,
whose position would enable him to
by their protector. Compare Ex. 1:8.
12. "Your eyes see," etc. Knowing
that Jacob would doubt the story, he calls upon them, and especially Ben
jamin, his own brother, to ratify themselves that he really was Joseph.
13. Joseph mentions other things
that would convince his father and
make his brothers more ready to tell their father the whole story of their crime, and how it had been overruled for good.
(The chapters omitted should be ad.) 50:15 "Their father was dead."
As long as their father lived they
felt perfectly safe, but when he died.
they judged Joseph by themselves,
and feared that he would requite the
evil which they had done to long before. 16, 17. They did not dare to go in person, but sent, begging his forgivenness, and maintaining that it was their fathers request made before he died. "Trespass." Better as in It. V. "transgression." "The servants of the God of thy father." This was to remind Joseph that they were worshippers of the
same God as he and their father. "When they spoke." When he received their message. 18. The brothers next appear In person before Joseph, in humility. 19. "Am I in the place of God?" That is to inflict retribution upon you. 20. 21. He again reassures them by
saying that God had overruled what they had done, and promises them
protection. Practical Thoughts. 1. It is a blessed thing that God so often overrules our mistakes, anl sins. 2. "Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement." 3. Romans 8:28.

Christian Endeavor Lesson.
Topic for May 12.
Joseph's biographer traces his life
from the time of his obedient youth to
his devout and trustful old age, and almost uniformly the character presented commands our admiration and respect. Possibly, he was a little ex
ultant as he related the dreams foretelling his dominance over his breth
ren, and possibly, too, he was overready to report his brothers' evil con
duct. Yet it may all have been done from a sense of duty, and the latter was perhaps an actual carrying out of his father's directions, as when he
went cheerfully and bravely to the
herdsmen's camp at Dothan. No sense of ill-will or bad faith bred fear in his mind, as had been the case with
his father when about to meet Esau.
His nature was not able to compre
hend the cold-bloodedness of h!s
brothers, who could sit down and eat perhaps the very food he had brought them while his pleadings and cries were ringing in their ears. But forgiveness grew somewhere in the root from which sprang an Esau and a Joseph,
and overwhelming tenderness made
the ruler of Egypt go out to weep, a-? he saw, after so many years, the "lad' Benjamin, gathered before him with his brothers. Unembittered by the
falsity of the charges on which he was
Imprisoned, and grieved that his brothers could think of a cherished purpose of revenge after their father's death, he was in all his life an exemplar of the love that "suffereth long and is kind." The unfailing readiness with which Joseph adapted himself to the conditions of his life is something to emulate. His father's obedient and trusted messenger, Potiphar's faithful slave, steward and overseer of the prisoa, though himself a prisoner, ruler of all Egypt, with vigor and integrity, he was always at the fore not only by scheming and plotting, but with no one to prosper his fortunes but God and
his own efforts. Some native quality of leadership he was doubtless endowed with; so were Caesar and Napoleon; but how absolutely different were the dominating purposes of their lives from his! Joseph seems to have been the first to realize that the promised Hebrew nation was already in existence, and

Three other bees reached the goal before the second pigeon. The bees were also slightly handicapped, having been rolled in flour before starting for purpose of Identification.

Valuable Ccnch She!!. There are evidently a number of mysterious properties about the conch shell in its relation to Indian religious rites and ceremonies that re-quire investigation.

Home years ago a conch of that description was offered for sale in Calcutta with a reserve price of a lac of rupees placed on it.
THE MERCHANT, THE CALF AND
THE KAFIR. In Kaffirland lived a merchant of
the tribe Amakosa, who dealt in hides
and tallow, and flourished greatly.
Once upon a time there came to his place of mart, one from the tribe of
Mambooki's with many calf-skins and much tallow which the merchant re
ceived with many thanks and very humble mein in the attitude of prayer. The Kafir impatiently demanded an
quivalent for his goods, whereupon
he merchant informed him that hav-
ng joined the humane society, and
the vegetarians, he had become convinced that it was a great sin to kill
and eat the poor calf who could not
defend himself. "I will," said he.
"accept thy goods and erect a temple of worship and allow thee to kill and sell tubercular cows, but I must not encourage the killing of the innocent calves." Whereupon the Kafir became so enraged that he slew the merchant with his javelin, opened his skull with his war club and sold the grey matter as choice calf's brains.
