Anyhow, Mark Twain has made sure that his patent on Huckleberry , Finn shall not expire for a long, long time. Thirty gallons of oysters were used at a church sociable at Hutchinson, Kan. Who says prosperity hasn’t returned? A philanthropic but misguided fish doctor in New York city has succeeded in saving the life of a German carp. | Cui bono? Orville Wright manages to get about ' on crutches, which is some progress j toward his practice of ignoring terra firma altogether. A Milwaukee doctor has married his cook. But the scheme doesn’t work. Just as soon as you marry them, they quit being cooks. A Parisian journal asks the question: “Should actresses marry?” We [ should say the answer is: “Not so often as they do.” We should imagine, from some of the rambling remarks of Prof. Hugo Muensterberg, that applied sociology was a good thing until one came to apply it. Gold, silver and lead mines are, it is said, to be worked extensively in the bleak district of Innishowen, County of Donegal, Ireland, overlooking the Atlantic. I “Forget it” is said to be the favorite maxim of the German emperor. Our guess is that he has recently been compelled to work his favorite maxim overtime.

The -Slot months’ bombardment of Port Arthur by land and sea did far less damage to that city than the earthquake did to Reggio. President Roosevelt is expected to capture alive in Africa for the Washington Zoological park an oryx, a kleene-boc and a kahau. Probably he will be successful.

And with like prog-' ress in other directions the finish is steadily and rapidly drawing near. A man in New York was arrested and sent to prison for begging for a cup of coffee with which to sustain his feeble strength while looking for work to feed his starving family. And from the fact that so many great crimes go “unwhipped of justice,” this treatment of poverty as a crime is one of the ■worst travesties upon our modern civilization. Here is proof that the courts are ' not respecters of persons and do not draw the color line. By a decision of the United States district court in j Oklahoma “Zeke” Moore, a colored ; man, is awarded royalty on oil lands which will make him the richest negro in the state. “Zeke” is also an exconvict, but his good fortune should help him to mend his ways. The fact that the new president of the New York Central railroad says in the next 15 years the railroads must spend billions, calls attention to 1 what an immense difference it would । make if everybody was content to stay in one place. It also emphasizes the fact, declares the Baltimore American, | that persons who have passed their whole lives in one home or even in one town, or who have never been on a railroad journey in their lives, are written up in the daily papers as human curiosities. The invention of the seismograph for the study of earthquakes has led to the discovery of the surprising sensitiveness of the crust of the globe to forces that might have been thought I too insignificant to cause distortion. The Indiana farmer who caught a : neighbor whom he suspected of stealing corn from his crib, by driving nails into a lot of his corncobs, so that the ' local constable afterward found in the neighbor's hogpen an armful of cobs with nails buried in the pith, showed real Yankee ingenuity. King Leopold of Belgium has con- ; ferred on Cardinal Gibbons the grand cross of the Royal Order of the Crown as a mark of his personal esteem and in recognition of his great, services in the cause of Christianity and humanity throughout the world Os all the oil fields in the world the most remarkable is that at Summerland, Cal., where nearly 200 wells are being pumped in the surf of the sea. In 1898 the first oil well ever drilled in the sea was sunk from a low wharf over the Summerland.

SYNOPSIS. The Escapade opens, not in the romance preceding the marriage of Ellen Slocum, a Puritan miss, and Lord Carrington of England, but in their life after settling in England. The scene is placed, just following the revolution, in Carrington castle in England. The Carringtons, i after a house party, engaged in a family lilt, caused by jealousy. The attentions of 1.,0rd Carrington to Lady Cecily and Lord Strathgate to Lady Carrington com- । celled the latter to vow that she would leave the castle. Preparing to flee. Lady Carrington and her chum Deborah, an American girl, met Lord Strathgate at two a. m., he agreeing to see them safely away. He attempted to take her to his castle, but she left him stunned in the road when the carriage met with an accident. She and Debbie then struck out 1 for Portsmouth, where she intended to sail for America. Hearing news of Ellen’s flight. Lords Carrington and Seton set out in pursuit. Seton rented a fast vessel and started in pursuit. Strathgate, bleeding from fail, dashed on to Portsmouth, for which Carrington, Ellen and Seton were also headed by different routes. Strathgate arrived in Portsmouth । in advance of the others, finding that Ellen’s ship had sailed before her. I Strathgate and Carrington each hired a small yacht to pursue the wrong vessel. I upon which each supposed Ellen had sailed. Seton overtook the fugitives near Portsmouth, but his craft ran aground, just as capture was imminent. Ellen won the chase by boarding American vessel and foiling her pursuers. Carrington and Strathgate, thrown together by former’s wrecking of latter’s vessel, engaged in an impromptu duel, neither being hurt. A war vessel, commanded by an admiral friend of Seton, then started out in pursuit of the women fugitives, Seton confessing love for Debbie. Flagship Britannia overtook the fugitives during the J night. The two women escaped by again i taking to the sea in a small boat. Lord I Carrington is ordered to sea with his ship ; but refuae# to go until after meeting I Strathgate In a duel. They fight in the grounds of Lord Blythedale’s castle. Encounter is watched by Ellen and Debbie. who have reached land and are in hiding. Carrington won a bloody contest at swords from Strathgate, Debbie and Ellen looking on and praying for the latter’s husband. CHAPTER XlX.—Continued. “I was his master because he was a •Hain,” answered my Lord Carrington. “He nearly had me undone at first, but I knew he couldn't go the pace, and a clean life and an honest heart wore him down at last; and yet I don’t know which is much the worse, the damned scoundrel or the damned fool! I hope he’ll live. Somehow, when I saw him there helpless on the grass, my sword through his breast, a good deal of the enmity went out of me. If I could get my wife now. I’d be satisfied. A damned fool!” my lord laughed nervously as he turned away. Yes, if he could have gotten his wife then, he would have b?en satisfied, and his wife would have been satisfied, too. But Ellen lay tn the bushes in a dead faint. The re'ief of the denouement had been too nuch for her. And there was horror at .he picture of Strathgate, blood spurting about the blade of the sword where it entered and where it left his body, reeling, his hands in the air, whitefaced, desperate, crashing down at her husband’s feet Debbie, in a like state of collapse, but nob quite insensible, not knowing what to do, not daring to do what she knew, if she had known. CHAPTER XX. My Lord Is Arrested. But Lord Carrington was not to go ▼ery far in his present path, for two carriages which had galloped rapidly across the park toward the one which had brought him thither stopped suddenly before Carrington and Parkman. The door was thrown open and Sir Charles Seton and a naval officer in full uniform alighted from the first. From a second a sergeant and four marines, completely armed, descended to the sward. The marines Instantly fell in ranks and stood at attention. The naval officer looked back toward them. The sergeant saluted and declared himself ready for the business on which he had come. Seton had taken a step toward his friend, when the latter, his pale face suddenly flushing, dajted at him. “Seton,” he said in a low, fierce voice, “where’s my wife?” In the intensity of his passion he seized Seton by the shoulders and shook him slightly. Now, Sir Charles had come there with a great pity for Carrington in his heart and a willingness to forget and fcrgive the other’s insults and threats, but the soldier was as quick tempered as the sailor, and his own face answered the ruddy flag in Carrington’s ; cheek. “Take your hand off me. Lord Car- ! rington,” he cried, wrenching himself free and springing backward, his own I hand upon his sword. “I’ve had one man’s blood on my hands this morning,” returned my lord, savagely, “and I don’t want to have another’s, but, by heaven, if you do not instantly declare to me what you did with my wife, I’ll strike you where you stand!” “And I swear to you,” cried Seton, whipping out his blade, “that if you come near me again I’ll run you , through without benefit of clergy.” “Sir Charles Seton,” began my lord, ■ evidently mastering his feelings with ’ great difficulty, “little do I care for j your threats, but I must have an answer to my question. Lady Carrington is known to have boarded that . merchant ship which was overhauled, I have no doubt, by the Britannia. Knowing our navy as I do, I have no hesitancy in believing that Lady Car- ; rington was taken from that ship; j that she was brought back to Ports- ! mouth on the Britannia, and has been, or is now, under your care. Where is she?” “Lord Carrington,” returned Sir Charles, standing upon a punctilio, “I recognize no right in you to question me and I decline to give you any reply ! in your present condition.” i “Will you reply to my sword’s point?” exclaimed my lord, passionately. “With pleasure,” said Sir Charles, proudly, “but perhaps I may say this ’ much. I don’t know where your wife la. or Mist j Slocum, either I wish ;

to God I did. She isn’t under my protection as you insinuate.” “That’s a lie!” burst out my lord, fiercely. "Good God!” cried Sir Charles, stepping forward menacingly. “Charles,” said Carrington with a sudden change of manner, “you were once my best friend, for God s sake, tell me where my wife is?” “You’ve insulted me publicly,” cried Seton, a man of slower temper, but of quite as hot a disposition, once aroused, as his former friend. He recked nothing of my lord's appeal. He saw only the fearful insult that had been hurled upon him. “Draw your weapon!” he exclaimed, extending his own bl£de_ sQ^hat^hj^..2ohß almost touched Carrington’^Teast ' My lord suddenly seized Seton’s sword by the blade with his naked hand, and although the sharp edge bit into his palm, with a quick jerk he tore it from the surprised baronet, who was naturally not expecting an act of that kind. “Tell me, tell me!” he cried. “You may kill me after that, or I you if needs must be, but where is my wife ?” “Bernard, you're beside yourself,” said Parkman, picking up Sir Charles'

sword, “let me apologize to you. Sir Charles, for my principal.” He bowed gravely and extended the hilt toward Sir Charles. But Sir Charles would not be pacified. "Tell your principal to make ready at once,” he continued, “or I shall feel justified in cutting him down.” "This can go no further, gentlemen,” now interposed the naval officer who had come with Seton. “And what business is it of yours, McLear?” cried my lord, laying his hand on his sword hilt and quite desperate at the situation in which he found himself. “I take it that you have no interest in this quarrel unless it is to perform a friend’s office for Sir Charles Seton with whom you came.” “Have I not?” said McLear, sharply. “Nay, never menace me with your blade. Lord Carrington. I'll take charge of it.” He stepped closer and extended his hand for my lord’s sword. "And on what grounds, pray?” asked Carrington In a high voice. “On these,” answered McLear, equally determined. As he spoke he hauled out from his pocket a folded paper. “ 'Tis an order of arrest from Admiral Kephard for disobedience of orders, failure to rejoin your ship, insulting language to your commanding officer. Admiral Kephard’s sign and seal, sir.” He shook the paper forth as he spoke. “Now, your sword.” “As a gentleman and I make no doubt a man of honor yourself. Lieutenant McLear,” continued Carrington, glancing at the single epaulet on the officer's shoulder, “you will, I am persuaded, grant me a few moments respite In which this gentleman and I may continue our debate.” “What, and run the chance of having to carry back a dead body to the admiral? No, sir,” returned McLear peremptorily. “I have orders to bring you to the Britannia in your proper person.” “And if I refuse’” “Sergeant,” McLear turned to the marine, “if Lieutenant Lord Carrington does not hand me his sword before I count ten, you will advance your men and take it from him by force.” “Parkman, will you see this thing done?” cried my lord as McLear, who was a man of great determination, began to count. “You’re in the wrong, Bernard,” answered Parkman, “you must obey orders. J’ve no doubt you can get clear,

"I did you an injustice. ready to atone for it in any way }> u may decide if

ever I get free from this cursed arrest, but I cannot go away easy in my mind without any apology.” “No apologies,” cried Sir Charles, “are adequate to such a situation.” “I suppose not,” returned my lord. “I’ve just done for Strathgate yonder, perhaps fate’ll get even by giving you a chance at me. You know what Strathgate said to me?” he continued with one of those quick changes of manner to which he was subject. “As he lay on the grass with half a fathom of my blade in his breast, he cried out: ‘Carrington, you’re a damned fool!* It’s true, Charles. Drive on, McLear.” he said, sinking back in the cushions and turning his face away. The two carriages rolled out of the park rapidly leaving Seton staring in amazement at the remarkable and contradictory remarks of his former friend. When he recovered his equanimity in some measure 1 at least, the baronet turned and walked toward the two still busied ab<<it Strathgate. His situation was sb&ritieal and there was so much to do Jiiat they had paid no attention whatsoever to the exciting incident which had just taken place within earshot. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Sad-Colored Food. Now that it has been discovered, or rediscovered, by an eminent physician that the colors of food have much to do with the appetite, a woman in town who is known for her novel entertainments is going to give a luncheon where all the dishes “will be bright and cheerful in tone.” There will be no overdone roasts at this repast. A London gastronomic expert, preaching along the Pittsburg doctor's lines, says: “Persons naturally avoid sombre-colored food. As an instance, a man will come home to dinner and see a grayish-colored, overdone leg of mutton before him. He won’t touch It. It is not the meat, but the color, which has turned him against the food. The same man will see a piece of red. underdone beef, and he fancies it at once. He is attracted by the color.” Photographing Angels. Little Harry, aged four, looked at a picture of some cherubs: "Mamma, who took the photograph of the angels?” Then, after a pause: "Oh. 1 know. Santa Claus took it. God'g got 8 n amera ”

V. 36. “Joses.” One form of "Joseph.” “Surnamed Barnabas.” A Hebrew name, derived from bar, son. and Nabuah “prophesying,” pouring out words as from a fountain, tne impelling force being the divine inspiration.” “The name seems to have been conferred upon him by the general consent of his friends, as a kind of degree or pet name.”—Biblical World. Being interpreted from Hebrew into Greek, The son of consolation, "comforting,” “exhortation,” as in the R. V. Neither definition alone is complete; it takes both to give the meaning of the original Greek word, which is the same word as that given to the Holy -Spirit by Jesus (John 14:16), “the Comforter,” “Paraclete.” from para, to the side of. and kaleo, to call or summon, for comfort or help as an advocate, counselor, comforter. What Barnabas, filled with the Holy Spirit, did for others was similar, at ; least in most respects, to that which the Holy Spirit does for us. His work was far greater than that implied by the familiar definition of comforting—to soothe, to bring tranquil enjoyment. He was like the advocate in Greek and Latin courts, a powerful friend in whose wisdom, knowledge, influence and affection the client had confidence, and who advised, aided, strengthened and comforted him. Barnabas had a great gift by his words, ■ character and personality of comforting others by invigorating them, in- I spiring them with a new life, strengthening their faith and hope, giving them fresh courage. He was like a fountain of the water of life. “Comforting,” from two Latin words, means making strong together. Nothing is worthy of the name of comfort that is not Invigorating, inspiring, filling the soul full of courage and j strength. The Holy Spirit comforted the disci- i pies after the death of Jesus, just as ' Jesus promised. How? By making ! the frightened men bold as lions; by changing them into heroes; by giving I joy unspeakable when persecuted, im- i prisoned, tortured, scattered. There are two sources of danger to the church of Christ. Dangers from without. Dangers from within. In our last lesson we studied the first attempt of assailants from without to destroy the youthful Christian community. The fires of persecution were kindled to consume it. But the church i was like the three neroes in Nebuvliad nezzar & furnace; the flames did not harm them, and unc like the Son of God was with them in the flames. And , the light from them caused men to see I in clearer light the true God and the ! Gospel. It advertised the good news; it ! scattered the seeds of truth broadcast; ' it led to more prayer, a stronger faith, । a firmer coruage, more generous giv- ! ing. more fervent preaching; it proved that the piety of the church was no temporary excitement, but a steady burning and shining light. We now come to a more dangerous j attack, from evil within her ranks. I Fire cannot consume, nor waters j drown the church. There is no way j to destroy it but by enemies within. The engine is powerless if the fires fail. The light goes out when the ! electric current ceases to flow. We : are to study this attack, learn its les- : sons for to-day, and see how God over- । ruled even this, by victory over evil, । for the advancement of the gospel. V. 5. “Ananias . . . fell down, and gave up the ghost.” Literally, ; "breathed out his life, his soul.” In whatever way it came, by the shock jf the discovery of his sin, or by a direct stroke from God, it was God’s act. ind in no sense the act of Peter and the apostles. Very probably they were as much astonished as anyone. Had Peter done this act he would have been a murderer, subject to the law of the land. But he had no hand in It whatever. Why such sevirity of punishment? 1. It was deserved, it was justice. “Exact justice is commonly more merciful in the long run than pity.” 2. It was necessary in order to save the church from destruction from within. 3. It was n«ecssnry tn counteract the effect of his conduct upon the world. It would tend to make men believe that there was nothing in religion, that there was no such thing as conversian and true pity. Therefore, it was needful that the deed and Its spirit should be publicly repudiated in the most remarkable manner. as contrary to the whole teaching ; and spirit of religion. Ananias was ! a dead branch on the gospel tree, a ; noxious weed in the garden, a upas ' tree exhaling poison, and no part of the Tree of Life bearing the fruits of the Spirit. 4. Thus it was an act of mercy, not of hatred or revenge. Impress on our scholars the deadly nature of lying in all forms. There ' are no “white lies.” Truthfulness lies at the foundation of all good character. A few counterfeit Christians do nbt prove that the gospel is a failure, or I the church unworthy. A few dead i trees in the forest, or dried stalks in । the fields, do not prove that spring is 1 a failure or that the sun does not : impart real life. We must be careful not to measure a man or a society by its imperfections alone. The punishment of sin is an absolute necessity. Those sins always nourish which can be practiced with j impunity, and are lightly regarded.

"Well,” observed old man Potts, “I've spent a heap of money on my boy Bill's education, more'n S9OO jest to see him through Yale. And I ain't through yet. It shorely makes me sore to think of the money I'm wastin’ on a boy who ain’t got as much sense now as he had before he went to college.” "What’s the matter, father?” asked Mrs. Potts. "Mebbe you're a little hard on Bill.” "No. I ain’t. Mary," answered the old man. "Jest to show you—a little while ago I says to him I thinks it was going to rain to-morrow.

All Who Would Enjoy good health, with its blessings, must understand. quite clearly, that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoyment. of contemplation and of effort may i be made to contribute to living aright. Then the use of medicines may lie dispensed with to advantage, but under ordinary conditions in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time and the California Fig Syrup Co. holds that it is alike important to present the subject truthfully and to supply the one perfect laxative to those desiring it.
