Balmoral is greatly larger estate
now than it was when first it became a
royal residence. To the original 10, 900
or IL, 900 acres were soon added the
5000 acres of the adjoining Birkhall
estate. Then in 1878 the forest of Bal
lochoule was urchased-another TO-,
900 acres-and there have since been
more recent acquisitions.

Clerical Tales.

A tedious preacher had preached
the assize sermon before Lord Yelver-
ton He came down smiling to His
Iordship after the service and, ex-
pecting congratulations on his effort
asked: "Well, My Lord, how did you
like the sermon?" "Oh, most Won
derful!n replied Yelverton. 1T was
like the peace of God-it passed all
understanding; and, like His mercy,
| thought it would have endured for
ever"
According to the Congregatioualist
a minister prepared and had printed
an elaborate programme for an Easter
service. His feelings may be i'm
ao;ned when he read this line in the
closing hymn:
Jesus resigns, and heaven reioices.
In little church at Norristown,

were very few worshippers when the
worthy pastor opened the services.

was picture of discomfort when he
mounted the pulpit to preach his ser

moment and began in this most I'M
orthodox manner: Brethren, it's
hot and so say comfort before

heavy black coat, hung it over the
side of the pulpit and preached his
sermon in his shirtsleeves.

Kind Words.

Only a few sweet, loving words,
that is all; but coming from the heart
and going to the heart they would
brighten many a life and comfort
many a soul as the speaker of them
little knows. Let us not be so chary
OF them, especially as we get far on in
the journey OF life and often find the
way little hard and wearisome. If
they are but few, let them be often
spoken between us, we who love each
other in any relation of life. 1t is
easy to get out of the way of speaking
them; but it is not easy sometimes to
get out of the way of hearing them;
when once they have their sweet mu-
sic in our ears. And let us, for our
own sake, be sure to speak them before
the hearts which they might gladden.
have gone beyond the veil that hides
them from an earthly love and care.
This human love Of ours is surely one
of Cod best gifts to US; and he must
mean that we shall use it for the help
and comfort Of others with whom He
links our lives.-Mary NJ. Perkins.

AS rule the fighting boss is any
thing but a meddlesome boss. He is not
a stickler for military etiquette, but he
is for complete and even abjeot subor
dination of every man in his command.
You have no business to think, is a
prevalent expression around his head
quarters. 1t goes with the saying that
men to play the role of boss in battle
cannot be picked out of the candidates
in the governors room nor in the camps
where raw levies are organized A hard
campaign is the only thing to bring out
the stuff in each individual Soldierly
capacity should then be recognized and
rewarded quickly. A roll of honor in
the shape of list of eligibles to draw
from for promotions might be instituted.
Whole companies and regiments un-
derwent a complete change of character
by the gravitation to the top of an in
competent Fighting commands became
just the opposite. The old adage, Like
master, like man, was proved true with
a vengeance. Generally these men tried
hard to fit the role, attempts that only
made matters worse. No more degrad-
ing spectacle can be imagined than that
of a vain, weak fellow trying to boss it
over soldiers who, for the work of war,
are his superiors. But a muster Of true
soldiers with a leader after their own
hearts is a sight to make Mars smile

1t is claimed that for years buggy
manufacturers have secured exorbitant
prices for their goods, but recently,
through the combined assistance of the
farmers of Iowa, Illinois and other
states, SEARS, RoEBUCK Il Co. of Chica-
go, have got the price of open bug

Elijah's Spirit on Elisha. Kings
2; 6-I5. Read the whole chapter.
Golden Text: How much more
shall your Heavenly Father give the
Holy Spirit to them that ask Him. "
Luke 1913.
When the Lord would take up Eli
ah into Heaven by whirlwind, Eli
iah went with Elisha from Gilgal, and
said to him, 'Tarry here, pray thee;
for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel !"
And Elisha answered II will not leave
thee"
Then the sons of the prophets that
were at Bethel said to Elisha. Know
est thou that the Lord will take away
thy master from thy head today. ;"
But Elisha answered, "Yea, know it;
hold We your peace" This converse
ton was repeated as they went to
Jericho, and again as they went to
jordan; and as they two stood by the
river, fifty sons OF the prophets watch
ed them altar off.
Then Elijah wrapped his mantle
into rod and struck the waters,
which was divided and they two pass
ed over on dry ground.
Then Elijah said, ASK what |
shall do for thee, before l be taken
away from thee" and Elisha asked
for a double portion of his spirit. Eli
iah said that this was a hard thing,
but would be granted if Elisha saw
him when he was taken away. And
as they talked, a chariot OF fire and
horses of fire appeared and parted
them, and Elijah went up by whirl =
wind into heaven. And Elisha saw
it, and cried, my father, my father,
the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen
thereof" And he saw him no more
and he rent his clothes in two pieces.
and took the mantle of Elijah that
had fallen from him, and went back
to the river Jordan, and struck the
waters and said, "Where is the Lord
God of Eliiah?" and the waters parted
and he went over.
Then the sons of the prophets said,
"The spirit Of Elijah doth rest on
Elisha, and they came to meet him
and bowed themselves to the ground
before him, and asked him that they
might send fifty strong men to search
mountain and valley for Elijah lest he
be cast upon the earth. Elisha for
babe this, but at their second request
he said, "Send," land they sought
three days and found him not" Then
Elisha healed poisoned waters, and as
he was going to Bethel, little children
came out of the city and Knocked him,
and said, go up. thou bald head. "
And there came forth two she bears
out of the wood, and tore forty-two of
the children.

at which every man was compelled to
vote and the one elected compelled to

character. Soldiers at the front soon
recognize that the business in war is to
fight and whether put in that form or
some other their test Of every man is,
will he fight?
"No old soldier will deny that this
feeling among men about officers who
have won their spurs on the battlefield
amounts to q positive force. Such an
officer may be hated for his tyranny in
camp, but the moment there is call
TO arms the soldiers know their master
and will follow to the jaws Of death.
"All who are in the secrets Of the
army know that in point Of fact there
was imperialism at work in the making
of leaders. One Of the New York colo
nels who received five wounds at Gettys-
burg was man just fit to lead his regi-
ment into battle and fight like tiger.
But that was all In every other respect
he was failure, and there was an I'M
written order at headquarters that in
case the brigade commander should fall
the New York colonel must not succeed
to the command in spite Of the fact
that be was the senior colonel In an
other case the three field officers OF
fighting New York regiment were killed
or captured within week at the siege
of Petersburg. There were several cap
tains left, but instead Of their being
promoted a staff lieutenant was import
ed and commissioned major. He owed
his shoulder straps to an act of heroism
and when the fact became known in the
regiment the soldiers applauded the APP
pointment. The men thought they had
had tyrant in the first commander,
but this newcomer was tyranny incar-
nate, yet it was all borne without
murmur because the little major could
fight.
"Soldiers worthy Of the name wish
to be ably commanded, and the exact
manner of appointment is of little con-
Germ. Favoritism in appointment they
know by bitter experience brings in
competents TO the front. A good al
though somewhat extravaganza example
of the true soldiers attitude is found
in the history of the Richmond Howitz-
ers, which served the Confederacy all
through the war. The men, high and
low, were blue bloods, and after they
settled down to the real work of war
they divided attention between two
things, fighting and getting something
to eat. Whenever a vacancy occurred
among the officers there were no can
didates. No one coveted the RESPONSE
