Christ as an Orator,

In the space allotted to us We can but
give superficial glance at some of the
leading oratorical elements of Christ's
discOurses. He was an orator in every
sense of the word. There is a closer con-
nection between the form and spirit of
his discourses than in the case of any
other orator. He chose the most strick-
ing ways of presenting truth. Figures
OF speech, illustrations and parallels are
as thick in his sermons as stars in the
milky way. The general manner of his
address was direct or conversational.
He always had his audience in mind and
held the attention by his interrogative
style. care not five sparrows sold for
two farthings?" ''What went ye out in
to the wilderness to see?" At times he
commanded his audience. "Be not
afraid of them that kill the body. Let
your loins be girded about and your
light ulning." At other times he warns,
rebukes, reproves, reproaches, prohibits.
''Beware of the leaven of tue Pharisees;
ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of
the sky and the earth." "Thou fool,
this night thy soul shall be required of
thee" This form of direct address often
becomes sympathetic, as if he held his
audience in his mind and knew their
frailties. "Come unto Me, all ye that
are weary and heavy laden and will
give you rest" He was impressed deeply
with the great truth that things in heaven
are known by their likeness to things on
the earth; hence he often speaks in
the language of oratoric correspondence.
His most remarkable figure Of this nature
is his comparison of himself to vine.
son shall ask bread of any of you that is
il father, will he give him stone? Or
if he ask fish will he give him scor-
pion?" So truly oratorical was the stvle
of Jesus that he touched every chord of
the human heart A man of keen sensi
bilities, sympathetic by nature, and liv-
ing amid scenes of distress, sorrow and
poverty. His heart was easily moved,
and therefore His pathetic eloquence was
deep, sincere and unsurpassed, Take,
for example, his mournful dirge over
Jerusalem. His story of the Prodigal's
return has no equal for tender pathos in
the records of oratory. And yet while
the tender and loving prevails in his
discourse, no orator has ever uttered
such fierce denunciations and bitter sar
casms. "Beware of the Scribes which
desire to walk ir long robes and love
greetings in the market places and the
highest seats in the synagogues and the
chief rooms at the feasts, which devour
widows houses and for show make
long prayers; the same shall receive
greater damnation.'- From "Chr1st as an
Orator." by T. Alexander Hyde, in North
American Review for June.

Heavy Weight Scales.

| When the fattest young lady at For
Monroe got upon scales there was tusl
of expectancy, says the Washington Star
Up to that time everybody was pleased
because everyone seemed to have gained
in weight. The little girl with the au
burn ringlets had uttered little shrek
of delight when she found for the tirs1
time in her life she tipped the scales al
over 100 pounds. The youthful matror
in black, who had said all along that il
was only mourning that made her look
thinner, WAS triumphant when her avoir-
dupois was registered at III. As fo1
the fair creature with the balloon sleeves
and incipient crinoline, she declared that
she had never before weighed within
eight pounds as much.
When the fattest young lady got
aboard she said with amiable resigna.

':Put on the so pound weight, I'll need
it,"
So the iron disc representing so pounds
was put on, and the register was slid
along by the girl with the auburn ring
lets. Strange to say is passed up to the
very end of the bar without making the
scale drop.
"Guess you'll have to put on another
50," giggl-d the, unfeeling creature in the
balloon sleeves.
The fattest young lady began to look
alarmed.
'It isn't So" she exclaimed indignant

But the girl with auburn ringlets had
already added the extra so pound weigh
which caused the scale to respond at once
1t promptly registered 2o2 pounds.
The fattest young lady looked as
though she did not know whether tc
burst into tears or to slap off the bonnet
of the girl with the auburn ringlets and
stamp on it. .... "..
''It is cheat and horrid fraud !" she
declsred. Then she raised her parase]
with an emphasis that nearly broke one
of the ribs and marched away.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only ore way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inaamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Els
tacbian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound Of
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
trely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed Tor
ever nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (cansed by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by HALLS Catarrh

fng, Or d preference for other occiiDa-
tion, or dislike for engaging person.
ally in the work of the farm. a grave
mistake has been made. The best aS:
ricultural schools are those which com
bine actual teamwork with the proper
instruction. In such schools the term
of study extends over several years, in
stead of two OF three, and the instruc-
ton is in the hands of men who are
themselves not only educated men but
trained agriculturists.
Most of the agricultural colleges and
scientific schools with agricultural de-
partments which receive aid through
the land-grnat act of 1892 were not
intended to make farmers, but to
enable young farmers to obtain, if
they wished, an education suited to
their occupation. Their primary OBJ
ject was an intellectual and not a
manual education. AS a matter of
fact, only about per cent. of their
graduates take up the practice of agri-
culture.
AS the writer of the foregoing states
this country has provided in most
generous manner for the advancement
of the agricultural interests. 1t is al
legged that our lawmakers were 'lata
in the day" in setting under way the
several devices, SO to speak, that were
intended to elevate the agricultural
interests of the country, but I'M
der the circumstances we are not dis,
posed to criticize the hardness of our
government in the matter. When it
did act it acted nobly and generously,
and it must be admitted that consider
ing our age we are now doing we'll for
the cause of agriculture. And if the
people now take advantage of their op-
portunities there will be justifable ex-
cuse for our farmers being behind in
the procession of successful farmers.
We do not mean to imply that it will
follow as matter of course that our
young farmers will be able to so util-
ize the teachings of our several expert
ment stations as to assure immediate
success in their vocation.
But we do assume this much that if
they are not helped to make their
work something better than it has
been it will be, to a large extent, their
own fault. The instrumentalities
must accomplish much good in the end,
though this effect may appear to be
slow in their operation.
