Greatest Greek Painter. The most celebrated of the Greek painters was undoubtedly Apelles, 332 B. C. Apelles was the eourt painter of Alexander the Great and is said to have been the only artist whom the great Macedonian would permit to paint his portrait. It is related of Apelles that, while Alexander was inspecting one of his paintings of a horse, a horse, seeing the picture, neighed, whereupon the artist exclaimed to the king, “The horse knows more about art than you do.” Having once accepted a correction from a shoemaker about a wrongly painted shoe in one of his pictures, he declined further criticism from him with the observation which has become famous, “Let the shoemaker stick to his last.” A Homemade Barometer. A weather man described the other day a cheap homemade barometer. He said it was only necessary to take a piece of string about fifteen inches long and to soak it several hours in a strong solution of salt and water. After being dried the string should have a light weight tied to one end and be hung up against a wall, a mark being made to show where the weight reaches. The barometer is now complete. It is as accurate as a SIOO instrument. The weight rises for wet weather and falls for fine.—Exchange. Flowers as Food. In many parts of India the natives depend for food upon the blossoms of the bassia tree. They do not cook the flowers, but make a good meal of them raw. These blossoms are described as sweet and j sickly in odor and taste. They are j sometimes dried in the sun, when ! zhey are kept and sold in bazaars as a regular article of diet. The trees are so highly esteemed that the threat of cutting down their bassia trees will generally bring an unruly tribe to terms. —Alsyke and timothy seed for sale by A. W. Strieby & Son.

negro premonition; Colored People Who Mysteriously Knew of Lincoln’s Death. The unaccountable celerity with which news travels among the natives of Africa has often been commented upon and explained in various ways. What George Haven Putnam tells us of an instance of this puzzling early knowledge of events among our> own negroes in the south was, however, a different matter, according to the old darky who conveyed the information to him. Mr. Putnam narrates in his of My Youth” that he was with his division at Greenleaf, N. C., on the morning after Lincoln’s assassination and that he received the first hint of the tragedy through what seems to have been the telepathic gifts of the negroes: I had reported myself for a shave to an old darky yhom I had visited once or twice before. He took up his razor, dropped it, took it up again, and again dropped it. “I can’t shave you this mornin’, massa,” he said. “Why, what’s the matter, Uncle Ben ?” “Why, sir, somethin’s happened to Massa Lincoln, and I can’t do nothin’, sir, but jes’ think about it.” “Why,” I said, “what has happened to Lincoln? You have no news that I haven’t got I” “We colored folk,” he said, “sometimes get news, or half news, ’fore it comes to you white people, and we colored folk here all feel this mornin’ that somethin’s gone wrong with Massa Lincoln.” At noon the courier made his appearance, riding out from the woods on the northeast, and we felt at once from the appearance of the man that he had bad news. He was hurrying his horse, as he was bound to do, and yet he seemed afraid to arrive. He handed the bag of documents, with one separate envelope, to the division adjutant, and the adjutant, tearing open the envelope, began to speak, and then his voice broke down. He was able finally to get out the words. “Lincoln is dead.”

MMTJOHOOL. Lesson VIII.—-Third Quarter, For Aug. 23, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Matt, xxii, 1-14. Memory Verses, 8, 9—Golden Text, Luke xiii, 34—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This parable of the marriage of the king’s son Is found only in the gospel hy Matthew and sets before us both the present phase of a rejection of the ■invitation and also a glimpse of the consummation, but chiefly the former. Miss Habershon says in her book on the parables that they cover the whole period from the first advent of our Lord Jesus Christ in incarnation to His second advent in glory. His Incarnation is Implied; His life, ministry and rejection are described, and His death Is prophesied, but most of the pictures represent the time of His absence or the epoch of His return. They were not merely the words of the man Christ Jesus, a great teacher and a God sent prophet. They were, like all that He said, the words of His Father given Him to speak, for He said, “Whatsoever 1 speak, therefore, even as the Father said unto me. so I speak” (John xii,' 50). He taught also “through the Holy Spirit” (Acts 1,2; x. 38), so that in all His teaching we have the Trinity. even as in the parable of Luke xv we see the love of the Son, the Spirit and the Father. Some aspects of the lesson today, such as the treatment of the Invitations, are similar to those of the great supper of Luke xiv. 16-24. The king and His Son and the servants are suggestive of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The words “Behold, 1 have prepared. * * * and all things are ready,” of verse 4 indicate that “salvation is of the Lord” (Jonah ii. 9). from first to last. Just as in Gen. iii, 21, the Lord God provided redemption clothing without any help from Adam and Eve, as neither Noah nor Moses nor David nor Solomon had any say whatever in the design or construction of ark or tabernacle or temple, as the disciples helped nothing in providing the food for the five thousand, so the purpose and the working of it out in the whole matter of redemption and the kingdom are wholly of God. Nothing can be added to the full preparation which He has made. See also Isa. lix, 16. It is ours to heed the invitation, “Come unte the marriage” (verse 4), and to accept thankfully all that the king has so bountifully provided. The abundance of the King’s table which we are privileged continually to enjoy will fill us with joy and peace if we are only believing (II Sam. ix, 13; Rom. xv, 13). The story of a marriage takes ns back to Gen. ii, 22-24, and on to the marriage of the Lamb (Rev. xix, 7,8), the former in Eden being a type of the latter, according to Eph. v, 31, 32. The brides of Scripture are most suggestive also, as Rebekah, Rachel, Asenath, Zipporath, Ruth and Abigail. The story of Rebekah, being obtained by the servant for the only son of his master, who had given all his wealth to Isaac, is wonderfully suggestive. The question put to her, “Wilt thou go with this man?” (Gen. xxiv, 58) is like the “Come” of our lesson, and all the other “comes,” such as Gen. vii, 1; Isa. i, 18; lv, 1; Matt, xi, 28; Rev. xxii, 17. We do not read of any of these disdaining the invitation or making any excuses nor of their being sorry that they accepted. Contrast the conduct of those in our lesson who were invited; “They would not come. * * * They made light of it and went their ways. * * * They took his servants and entreated them spitefully and slew them” (verses 3,5, 6). What ignorance. what blindness! How often we are reminded of the pathetic words in John i, 10, 11: “He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew* Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.” It seems almost unbelievable that men should despise or make light of the love and grace of God and the offer of His kingdom and glory, but the wicked adversary, the god of this world, is always doing his utmost to blind people’s minds, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them (II Cor. iv, 4). The carnal mind is also enmity against God (Rom. viii, 7), and none but the Holy Spirit can break it down and convince of sin. The burning up of the city (verse 7) may refer to its destruction by Nebuchadnezzar at the time of the captivity in Babylon or the destruction by Titus some forty years after the time of our lesson—probably the latter. The highway message may cover the whole of this age. when from all the world the guests are being gathered for the marriage of the Lamb. The bad and good remind us of the net of Matt, xiii, 47-50, and the end of the age, when there shall be the separation. We are to gather all who seem willing and leave it to Him to prove who are really His and who are mere professors, who really have and who only seem to have. In one place we read of the queen and also of the virgins, her companions (Ps. xiv, 9, 14). In Matt, xsv, 1 (Syriac and Vulgate), we read of the Bridegroom and the Bride and the virgins. In Rev. xix, 7,9, we read of the Lamb’s wife and also of those who are called to the marriage supper. In Luke xii, 36, we read of those who wait for the return from the wedding. All will be made plain in due time. Now the great question, is, Have I cordially accepted His invitation? Steal With Their Toes. Nearly aU aborigines can turn their toes not only to good but to bad account. This is especially true of the natives of Australia, who, while they are cunningly diverting tout attention with their hands, are busily engaged committing robberies with their toes, with which they pick up small articles as an elephant would with his trunk.
