Jesus Healing the Nobleman's Son,
John A: 1854.
Golden Text. Jesus said unto him,
thy son livetl: and himself believed
and his house. John A: So.
There was nobleman in Capernaum
who was in great trouble, for his son
was sick at the point of death. He
lived only twenty miles from Cana
where Jesus had turned the water into
wine for ihe wedding party, and OF
course everybody was talking about His
great power and loving-kindness, for
He had gone to Capernaum from Cana.
He had Hinself testified "a prophet
hath no honor in His own country. =
Strange that He should not have honor
everywhere, and that it is so to this
day, 'sf5r in none other il there saliva
tion, for neither is there any other
name under Heaven, that is given
among men, wherein we must be
saved. 4 .
When Jesus came into Galilee, the
Galileans received Him, for they had
seen all the things that He did at Jer-
usalenl, at the feast Of the passover, in
which they showed that they remem.

fathers out Of Egypt BY night.
And when this nobleman Of Galilee
heard that Jesus had come again to
Cana, lie Mastered to Him as the only
hope Of his sons life. and besoughs
Him to come and heal him. Jesus
knew that his faith was real, bat to
try him. He said, Except ye see signs
and wonders, ye will not believe. J,
The anxious father had only one thing
to say, Sir, come down, ere my child

faith, and our Lord Is always waiting
TO heal and 10 save. even as Hs said,
Whatsoever ye shall ask Ii MY Name,

Filipinos sought to disconcert General
Grosyenor by saying: II would like to

upon the old slavery question is to fly

ashamed of himself when Gen. Gros-

quietly replying: In the graves Of the

Foop OR BREED.

The quality OF the milk, depends upon
the fst 10 it, aud the fat either depends
upon the quality OF the COW or the feed
given TO 1t. There are plenty who believe
that the quality OF the milk can be chang
ed by changing the food the food. That
IL, certain kinds OF food make milk rich
10 fat, and other foods make milk poor 10
fat. The question Of which is correct is
interesting to dsirymep, and II 1t IS the
food that determines the question they
want q ration that will give the best re
suits.
Most farmers have been led TO believe
that the percentage Of fat in the milk is
determined largely by the quality OF the
food given to the COWS. On the other
hand. the results OF nearly oil the scientii
10 experiments and tests go to show that
the kind OF food fed 10 the COW has little
influence upon the fat in the milk, but
that everything depends upon the COW.
There are some cows that seem 10 be born
With the ability to produce milk rich in
fat. and food OF any kind will keep mp
this supply. OF conrse, starving snd
gradual degeneration OF the animal will
decrease the supply OF milk, snd conse
quently the quality Of fat. But with fair
care and food the percentage OF fat will re
main good and quite constant.
This brings as to the important matter
that oil dsirymen must consider. The
COW Is q law unto herself. She is crested

owner, CT she is . poor mixer whose exist
ence on the farm 10 Improbable to the
farmer. Experiments conducted 10 the
most careful manner have failed TO 10
crease the fat OF the COWS milk TO any
material extent. Under forced feeding
the ist percentage might be increased.
but 1t would only be temporarily. Some
seasons OF the year the percentage OF fat
ia much higher 10 one COWS milk than Ut
another time. and this change should not
be attributed to The food. II is due to
natural causes that cannot be easily x
plsinel. 30 we clme to the conclusion
that while breed and the individual COW
may not be everything. it certainly is
more than hslf the question. Food plays
an impo tsnt pert 10 keeping the cows up
to . standard OF health and functio-sl
activity; bnt it's Influence is comparatively
small 10 determining the qusnlity and
luslity OF the fst 10 the milk. The moral
is obvious. II We expect TO have good

THE SEAS pHospHoREscENcE
Ancient writing. Contain No Mem
tiOn of This Most Striking
Phenomenon.

It is peculiar that SO striking O phe-
nonenon as the phosphorescence Of the
sea should remain almost unnoted by
the ancient writer's. There are several
reasons for this. The ancients seldom
ventured far away from the coast;
they Rugged the shore by day ind
pulled up at night on some convenient
beach, hence they did not often see
phosphorescence OF all. Their ships
were merely boats, not built or rugged
for sailing close to the wind, which is
the most favorable position for observ-
ing this phenomenon. All such occur
rences were regarded by the ancients
us being Of evil omen-the superstition
with regard to st. El1no's fire Is sur
yival OF this beltef-and hence the ap-
pearances when seen were not much
talked OF. Then, too, the ancients, saw
ing. perhaps, only the Phoenicians.
hated the sea and all ita works, and
seem to have been curiously insensible
to the beauties of nature. 1t is still
probably fact that the minute organ:
isms which produce phosphorescence
are infinitely more plentiful in those
seas which were known to the ancients
than they were then, in consequence
of the determination Of whales and
other marine animals which preyed
upon them.

NATURE OF THE ALLIGATOR.
The Reptile Described In Detail by
Ono who Knows It's Habits
and IRREGULARITIES.

An alligator is not an attractive crea-
ture. Hs has not single virtue that
can be named. lie is cowardly, treach.
eUus, hidSous. lie Is neither graceful
nor even respectable in appearance. He
10 not even amusing or grotesque in
his ungaiA6ness. for as o brute-a brute
unqualihSd-he Is always so intensely
real that one shrinks from him with
loathins, end laugh OF h1a expense
while In hls presence would seem curt
ously out of place. says Appleton's
Monthly.
His personality, too, Is strong. Once
oatch the steadfast gaze OF free, adult
alligator's wicked eyes with their odd
vertical pupils fixed full upon your
own, and the Significance of the ex-
preston "evil eye" and the mysteries
Of snake charming, hypnotism and hoo
dooism Will be readily understood, for
his british, merciless, unfinching stare
Ia simply blood-chilling.
Zoologically, the alligator belongs to
the genus crocodilus, and he has I'LL the
hideousness of that family, lacking
somewhatits bloodthirstiness, although
the American alligator is car1livorous
by nature, and occasionally cannibal-
istio. Strictly speaking. however, the
true alligator is much less dangerous
than his relatives Of the old world. and
he is correspondingly less courageous.
