PUBLIC ENDORSEMENT OF SOUL.

After this divine call OF Saul to be king
through Samuel's fundamentally, it only
remained TO go through the formal
choosing and get the endorsement of the
people.
So Samuel called the people together
unto the Lord at Mizpah, and after again
reminding them that, by this act, they
select their king from the tribes by lot.
And the lot fell upon the son OF Kish Of
the tribe Of Benjamin and family Of
Matre.
But when they sought for the man thus
chosen he could not be found, for "he
had hid himself among the stuff" What
shall we think of such a man as this for a
king? 1t would certainly seems to us to
be a very unheroic act, and unworthy
one about to assume so exalted a posi-
ton. The result could not have been
unexpected to him since all that had
passed between him and Samuel, "Mod-
esty is n good thing when it does not
degenerate into cowardice. Only a fool
will rush headlong into a position OF
bioNS iNoPOi9A'AAANN a Nv bhAiiV tAiiitt
it is doubtful whether a good man should
ever feel himself at liberty to decline a
position to which he has been providen-
italy designated"
So we must not be too hasty to con-
denim this manifestation OF feeling that
characterizes Noses and Gideon, and
jeremiah, and the other great men, con-
ptraipiprr thar, ,p ehri,ly ,rop, aos,,rn;nr
great responsibilities. This trial seemed
to meet the appreciation of the people;
for "they ran and fetched him thence"
and when the tall son OF Kish lowered
above all the crowd about him and Sam
uel proclaimed him the "chosen of the
Lord" they all shouted, "God save the
King!'
To consummate the transaction and to
establish a constitutional monarchy,
samuel told the people the manner OF
the Kingdom and wrote it in a book and
laid it up before the Lord, and sent all
people away every man to his house"
The probability is he made a transcript
OF Deut. 17:14-20, showing that the Bible
is the best text book OF human liberty.

there went with him a band of men
whose hearts God had touched" And
the fckleness of public opinion was i'm
mediately shown in the saying OF the
children OF Belial: "How shall this man
save us?n And it is added, ''they de-
spised him and brought hin no presents.
But he held his peace.", He could do
nothing else now. Like a wise and pru-
dent man he bided his time to prove that
he was worthy the position to which he
had been called.
Such was the feeble beginnings OF roy
atty in the great Jewish kingdom, ruled
later by David and Solomon. What
possibilities were spread out before the
first king OF Israel! Alas, we shall see
how poorly he fulfilled them!

THEY WANT A KINa.


The corrupt character OF these sons and
Samuel's approaching old age seems to
have stimulated the desire, cherished
since the days OF Gideon, of having a
king 10 rule over them. And 80 they
appealed directly to Samuel to appoint
them a king.
"But the thing displeased Samuel when
they said, give us a king to Judge us like
all the nations"
The conscientious and sensitive old
man Interpreted thisd desire on the part OF
the people as an impeachment OF his W
administration.
The Lord disabused his mind and COM
forted him by telling him ITO hearken
unto the voice OF the people in all they
say unto thee; for they have not rejected
thee, but have rejected me, that should
not reign over them"
In obedience to divine direction, how

I see the smiling features of an old sweet,

And light my pipe in silence, save a slgi
that seems TO yoke

'Tis n fragrant retrospection-for the loving
thoughts that start
Into being like perfume from the blossom Of
the heart;
And TO dream the old dreams over is q luxury
divine
when my truant fancy wanders with thai
old sweetheart OF mine.
Though hear beneath my study, like a fut-
terine Of wings,
The voices of my children and their mother
as she sings,
I feel no twlnge Of conscience to deny me
any theme
When care has cast her anchor in the harbor
OF a dream.
In fact, to speak In earnest, l believe 1t adds

That makes me drink the deeper to that old
sweetheart Of mine.
A face OF lily beauty, with a form of airy
grace,
Float out of my tobacco as the genil from

And l thrill beneath the glances OF a pair Of
azure eyes
As glowing as the summer and as tender as
the skies.

checkered dress
She wore when first I kissed her and she
answered the caress.
With the written declaration that las surely
as the vine
Grows round the stump she loved me-that
old sweetheart OF mine
And again l feel the pressure of her slender
little hand
As We used 10 talk together Of the future we
had planned
When l should be n poet with nothing else

But write the tender verses that she set the
music to.
when we should live together in a coy little
cot
Hid in q nest II roses In q fairy garden spot,
Where the vines were ever fruited and the
weather ever fine,
AMI the birds were ever singing for that old
sweetheart Of mine.
when l should be her lover, forever and a
day,
And she my faithful sweetheart till her dark
brown hair was gray;
And We should be so happy that when eth
er's lips were dumb
They would not smile in heaven till the
others lip. had come.
But ah, my dream Is broken by a step upon
the stair,
And the door is softly opened and-my wife
is standing there;
Yet with enEeruess and rapture all my visions
resign
To greet the living presence OF that old
sweetheart Of mine.

Mr.. Cumberbatch, British consu
at AnGora, says that rich deposits Of
meerSChaum are found 20 miles tC
the southeast of Eski Shchir, an i'm
portant station of tho Anatolian rail.
way The Belgian consul in Con
stantinOplc, who recently visited the
place, states that it would be difficult
to determine tho exact area in which
the mcCrSChaum is to be found.
Judging from the number Of pits at
considerable distances from each
other, it must be extensive
The meerSChaum is extracted in
tho sano way rs coal Pits from 25
to 12O fuct deep arc dug, and as soon
rs the vein is struck horizontal gal
lerioS, sometimes of considerable
length, are made, but moro than two
galleries are seldom to be found in
one pit. Tho stone as extracted is
called "ham fash, or rough block,
and is soft enough to be easily cut
with n knife. 1t is white, with a
yellOwiSh tint, and is covered with
red, clayCy soil of about one inch
thick. In this state the blocks are
purchased by dealers on tho spot,
not by weight or measurement, but
according to approximate quantity,
either per load Of three sacks or per
CARLOAD the price varying from 95
to $50 per load, according to quality
These blocks are dried and sub
jected to certain preparations before
being conveyed to Eski Shehir
Some of them are as small as wal
nut, whilc others attain tho size of
n cubic foot. Those which combine
regularity of surface and size arc tho
best. The manipulation required
before they are ready for oXporta-
ton is long and costly Tho clayey
soil is removed and the mCerschaum
dried In summer exposure for five
or six days to the sun 5 rays Suffices,
but III winter room heated to the
required temperature is necessary,
and the drying process takes eight
or ten days.
When dried. the blocks are well
cleaned and polished. Then thcy are
sorted into about IL classes, each
class being packed with great care
in separate cases and each block be.
ing wrapped in cotton wool. The
bulk of the meerschaum is sent to
Vienna, where it is worked and dis
persed all over the world. Most of
the finest specimens are sent direct
to Paris. Certain American dealers
have visited ESlli Shchir with the
object of obtaining the raw material
direct instead OF through Vienna,
thereby saving the higher custom

meerschaum. The quantity annual,
ly exported is put down at s, 900 tc
10000 cases. Tho various taxes levied
by the Turkish government amount
to about 81 per cont ad valorem.

Cataloguing a Great Library.

A word more in regard to the
problem of the card catalogue. A
few years ago it was proposed in
this library to print its titles as they
then stood, and an approximate but
safe estimate showed, after cutting
the titles down to the minimum of
intelligibility and correctness, that
such a book cataloguing would fill
moro than II volumes, closely print.
cd in somewhat small type and
in two columns to page, each
volume to be of quarto size and to
contain $50 pages. By the time this
colossal feat could have been done
enough titles would have accumu.
lated to make it desirable to repeat
the task at once.
Since this estimate was made the
typesetting machine with its speed
and economy has become a revolu.
tionizing element in the printing
world. This library is now asking
itself how this invention can be used
toward solving the catalogue prob.
lem. 1t is prOposed-and machines
are already made for the purpose
to print the titles of all new books,
to use the titles as heretofore in the
card catalogue and then to save the
"slugs" on which each title will be
cast until enough have been accu
mulated and Alphabetical to form
the basis for general printed cata
logue. The slugs will still be saved
and by a constant process of accu
mutation and alphnbetizing new edi
lions will at any time be possible
