THE DIVINE NAME.
The IneffabIe Word That Is Never spokeu
nv EJanp I.,aaIs+.a

The Ineffable Word That Is Never Spoken
by Many Israelites.
The Rev. Dr. Wise, president of the
Hebrew Union college at Cincinnati,
has given his view of the ancient Jew
ish rendering of the name of the Deity.
He says that the term Jehovah, I" the
ineffable tetragrammaton, is never pro-
nounced by many Israelites They use
the word "Adonoi, which signifies
the Lord. " The translators of the
Bible followed this custom, rendering
the word jehovah as "Lord. . In
ancient times the Pharisees replaced the
tetragrammaton by Shem. They used
"Shemo," which is also Biblical. as
the sacred name, and this name is yet
retained, to some extent, among the
jews But it would appear from pas
sages i'll the Psalms that Adonoi, or
Lord, for Jehovah was more ancient
even than the times of the Pharisees. 1t
thus occurs eight times in Psalm lxxxiy.
1t also appears in the book of Exodus,
where Jehovah" had been used in the
original Hebrew. This substitution
would seem to be older than any other,
and it is yet common among all Jews.
DIR. Wise says he has found that the
ancient translations testify in favor of
"Adonoi :"
Looking at the English translation of
the Old Testament, it will be found
that the name Jehovah appears in the
books of Genesis, Exodus, Judges, the
Psalms and Isaiah. 1t is not in the New
Testament. New York Sun

How FLORIDA Land Turtles Are Lured Out

How FLORIDA Land Turtles Are Lured Out
of Their Holes.
W. H. Gilbert, locksmith, astrono-
mer, fisherman. scientist, hunter and
capitalist, is great fancier of gopher
meat, and has thought of many ways of
catching the game.
Some time ago he learned that there
was family living in the northwestern
part of the county which boasted of
young men who could Sing" gophers
out of their holes He travelled many
miles to ascertain if the report was
really true.
The young men were reluctant at first
to give an exhibition that might reveal
their secret, but Mr.. Gilbert had a
number of pursuasives along and finally
they consented.
The young men equipped themselves
with gunny sack and a pointed stick
about five feet long. A half mile from
the house, in the wire grass of the roll
ing pine land, they found the hole of a
gopher. They covered the entrance of
his tunnel with a sack and planted the
stick over the tunnel Then all of the
men lay down about 30 feet away and
one of them sang.
In half hour the sack was seen to
move slightly, whereupon one of the
young men jumped up quickly and ran
to the stick, which he pressed deep into
the ground, cutting off the gopher's re-
treat. The other reached his hand into
the hole and brought out big gopher.
which was made into delicious stew
for their dinner. Mr.. Gilbert, discours-
ing on the incident, says:
II have since learned that the Mexi-
cans, who are very fond of gophers,
pursue this method, except that they do
not sing. The singing is entirely super
fiuous. Curiosity is what kills the go
pher, as it has killed the historic cat.
The animal evidently is curious to learn
what it is that has darkened the thresh-
old of his abode and comes forth to
see. The stick does the rest / have
tried the same plan myself and very
successfully. Florida Times Union.

Potato Blishts.

A bulletin from the Vermont station
treats of blights and fungicides. Bor-
deaux mixture of standard weight prov
ed to be the best remedy tried for both
early and late blight, the plots sprayed
with this yielding double the quantity
of those unsprayed. The early blight is
aggravated if not caused by drought and
injuries of flea beetles and other insects.
1t attacks the tops only. Late blight is
rather mildew, attacking the tops first
and later causing the potatoes to rot and
give off very offensive odor. This fun
gus disease lives over winter in stored
potatoes, and it would seem that if
perfectly sound seed from crop that
had not been attacked by this disease
were planted the resulting crop would
be free from the disease, and expert
ments at this station indicate, though
they do not prove, that this is true.

There are fads in medicine as in every
thing else and new thing" frequently
sells for short time simply because it is
new. But In medicine, as In nothing else,
the people demand and will be satisfied
only with positive, absolute merit. The
fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood its
ground against all competition, and it's
sales have never wavered but have re-
NAMED steadily at the top, demonstrates
beyond any doubt, the intrinsic virtues of
this medicine. The new things have come
and gone but Hoods Sarsaparilla rests
upon the solid founf alton of absolute
merit and its power to cure, and its sale 8
continue to be the largest in the world.

In sketch of Sir William Martin
Conway, the great mountain climber
and explorer Of the Himalayas, The
English Illustrated Magazine saws that
he has the climbers walk''-that is,
gentle roll of the body, with no IN
equal steps, but swinging his legs with
rhythmic precision. He is slim man,
but tough, full of energy, and with iron
muscles When climbing the Himalayas,
he spent 81 days on snow and glacier.
During that time he traversed from end
to end the three longest known glaciers
i'll the world outside the polar regions
and landed ON the summit of Pioneer
peak, %, 900 feet high, the greatest
height yet reached by man. He has al
ready made plans for another expedition
when he gets back from Spitzbergen and
hopes to get through two or even three
more before contesting seat in parlia-
ment, as he intends to do at the next
general election,

rhe Robin and che Caterpill.r.

The robin hops along in the furrow
and picks up worms as the farmer
plows, which it eats itself or carries to
its nest as food for the young robins.
The robin prefers smooth coated worms,
such as the common earthworm, but if
such food is scarce it does not disdain
the fuzzy caterpillar. 1t is an evil day
for the caterpillar when a robin strikes
it. The robin picks it up and shakes it
and shakes it until it shakes the spines
out of 1.-THE fur, as the children call
the caterpillar's fuzzy coating-leaving
the caterpillar bare in patches and
sometimes all over and shaken all out
Of shape. Then the robin eats it or car

terracing, the building of walls and steps

made very picturesque by spending a
lot of money, they in the end make the
land very expensive, and often what seems
quite cheap at the start ends up by the
cost of making being too dear in the long
