4. MidtGniteS.
The foes met by Gideon were Midianites.
They lived east of the Jordan. They were ex-
ceedingly numerous and very bold. Attack
ing a country they seized on property and
cattle and devastated the land. They were as
grasshoppers in number. (6:5; 7:I2.) There
were $4,000 Midianite soldiers arrayed against
the Israelites (S:10) Gods people had been
reduced to great straits. Many were forced
from fear to Live in dens, caves and strong
holds (6:2.) This was too much for the brave
Gideon to endure. Naturally bold, he was yet
more REINFORCED by the descent of the Holy
Spirit urging him to action.

Use of Dress.

No matter what man may write or say
upon the subject, the womanly woman will
always pay considerable attention 90 her
dress, as she should. Indifference and con-
seuuent iuattention to dress often show pc
dantry selt-righteousness or incidence. 1t
is not virtue, but defect in the charac-
ter Every woman should study to make
the best of herself with the means at her
command. Among the rich the love of
dress promotes some degree of excrtion
cnl display of taste in themselves and
fosters ingenuity and industry in interiors;
in the middle classes it engcnders contri-
yance, diligence, neatness of hand; among
the humber it has its good effects. So
ing as dress merely interests, amuses oc-
.pies such time and such means Us we
an reasonably allot to it, it is salutary;
refining the tastes and the habits, and CIV
ing satisfaction and pleasure to others.
Sensible men like TO see their wives and
daughters well dressed, and take pride in
their appearance. The woman who has
cot some natural taste in dress, some love
of novelty, some delight in tho combine
ton OF colors, must be deficient in sense
Of the beautiful. As work OF art, n we'll
dressed woman is o study. Consistency,
in regard to station and fortune, is the first
matter to be considered A woman of
good sense will not wish to eIpend in un
necessary exirayagances money wrung
from the hands OF an anxious, laborious
husband or ii her husband be a man of
ortune she viii not even encroach upo'l
her allowance 1t will be her study to

Bile; for it is unbecoming to no woman's
lisnity to be careful OF the clothes she
wears, and to be economical in her expen-

beyond tn. compass of means, it canno.
be too severely condemned. But it is the

WhippIng Children

a parent who don't know how to govern
: child without whipping it ought to sur
feEder the care OF that child to some wiser
person. Sportsmen once thought it was
necessary TO lash their dogs in training
them for the field. They know now that
the whip should never he used. Horse
men once thought that it was necessary to
hip colts TO teach them to start on the
spot at the word, and pull steadily. They
know now that an apple is better than the
lash, and caress better than blow. If
dogs and horses can be thus educated with
out punishment, what is there in our chill
dren which makes it necessary to slap and
pound them? Have they less intelligence !?
Have they colder hearts? Are they lower
in the scale of being?
We have heard many old people say :
If we were to bring up another child we
should never whip it." They are wise, but
a little too late. Instead of God doing SO
little for children that they must be whip
ped TO goodness, lie has done so much tor
them that even whipping can't ruin
them-that is, rs a rule. But, alas, there
are many exceptions to this rule. Many
children are of such quality that blow
makes them cowurdly, or reckless, or de-
ceitful, or permanently ugly. Whipping
makes children lie. Whipping makes them
hate their parents. Whipping makas
home distasteful-makes the boys run
away, makes the girls seek happiness any
where and anyhow. Whipping is barbar.

Orland was painfully shocked last
Friday evening on receiving tele-
gram announcing the death of Mrs.
Fremont Stevens, NEE Ina Sperry.
1t seems but yesterday she was in
our midst with the winning smiles
and joyous young face. Only
short time ago she left as beautiful,
happy young bride, in company with
her fond husband, for their home in
the far west; both hearts all aglow
with the delightful prospect the
treachorous future promised them, SO
suddenly and seemingly so roughly
ended. The mystic tie which bihds
the spirit to the body is severed, he
blooming rose has been transplanted
by Fathers hand to its heavenly
home to bloom beyond the pearly
gates and live and grow in that
higher life to perfectness, in the holy
realm of Gods eternal home. Words
of sympathy are oft mockery to
such grief. God will sustain and
comfort the mourning one.
