4 Parable for the Tempted.

y story is told Of a man who once
asked an Eastern king if he could tell
him how to avoid temptation.
The king told the man to take a
vessel brimful Of oil, and to carry it
through the streets of the city without
spilling one drop.
eff one drop is split said the
king, 'yuur head shall be cut off. .
He then ordered two executioners,
with drawn swords, to walk behind
the man and to carry out his orders.
There happened to be fair going
on in the town, and the streets were
crowded with people. However, the
man was very careful, and he returned
to the king without having spilled one
drop of the oil. Then the king
asked:
"Did you see any one whilst you
were walking through the streets?'
"No, said the man; was think
ing only of the oil; I noticed nothing
else
:'Then," said the king, "you have
learned how to avoid temptation.
Fix your mind as firmly on God as
you fixed it on the vessel of oil. You
will not then be tempted to sin.

Was Afraid He Had Done Wrong.

Among the specialists whom the
government employs here in Wash
ington is a learned gentleman who
was once the superintendent Of a
Sabbath school. One of the stories
he tells of that epoch is of day when
visiting clergyman addressed the
school. On the very front seat sat a
pale little boy who had come to Sunday
school that morning for the first time
in his life. He watched the visiting
clergyman with almost painful inter
est. The visiting clergyman was a
large man, with great, dark eyes and
voice like unto that of the bull of
Basham. He rose.
"Children, he thuudered, "who

His black eyes glared fercely at the
new boy on the front seat. The urchin
squirmed and trembled

Shooting in the Field.

The reliable rules for shooting fly
ing birds are as follows: Hold a triAe
low for bird apparently flying
straight away from the gun; hold just
above a bird rapidly rising without
side motion; hold the same for bird
going straight away and close to the
ground; hold above and ahead of birds
rising and going to right and left;
hold ahead Of birds going straight to
right and left; hold ahead and below
birds going to right and left and low
ering; hold dead on an incomer (and
give it to him quickly, for every yard
the closer the smaller the spread of
the shot); hold ahead of birds passing
above you. Last, but not least,
never check the even swing Of the gun
in quartering shot.
At a goose or duck passing over
head I prefer to truly cover the mark,
then advance the gun till only the tip
of the birds bill is visible, or when
rather high, till the muzzle leads its
object by the proper distance, and
then instantly pull the trigger. When
the gun has to lead the bird this
position, no hesitarcy should be in
dulged in after the muzzle has passed
ahead Of the bill, for the shooter can
not then see his game, and any sudden
change of fight may prove disastrous.
This is shot at which most men fail
by shooting bchind.-Ea. ". Sane7ys,

CarbllncleS.

In previous article it was stated
that pimples, boils and carbuncles are
essentially the same thing-an infam-
nation of the skin and Of the tissues
Immediately beneath it-and differ
only in size. But, while this is true,
the difference in size is fraught with
consequences so serious as to constitute
practically point Of distinction be-
tween TWO seperate diseases.
In carbuncle the Inflammation is
usually more deeply seated than in a
boil, and it is spread over much
greater surface. 1t is also accompani-
ed by signs Of a general disturbance of
the system, signs which are usually
absent in the case Of an ordinary boil.
The appearance Of carbuncle is
generally preceded by little fever
ishness, headache and a general ILL
feeling, and sometimes by one or more
slight chills or chilly sensation.
The first sign of the local Inflammation
is swelling in the part affected.
This may be nodular, as if several
boils were beginning together, or tight
ly pressed cotton.
After growing somewhat in circum-
ference the carbuncle begins to swell,
pushing up the skin, which is Of a
purplish-red color and hot to the touch.
Small blisters may form over it, break
and exude clear, sticky fluid, which
dries and forms scabs.
In time number of small openings
appear and discharge pus. All the
tissue involved in the carbuncle dies
and is thrown off. Whitish or blackish
shreds are discharged through the
openings already formed, and later
the entire remaining mass becomes
gangrenous and melts away, leaving a
wide, deep hole, which may take
weeks or months to heal.
The neck is the most frequent seat
of carbuncles; then come the back, the
scalp and the face; the trunk and limbs
are seldom invaded.
The pain is at first comparatively
slight, but soon grows excessive, with
violent throbbing and burning SEN
sations as if live coal were buried in
the flesh. A person with a boil can
usually attend to his regular duties,
but one with carbuncle is grayely i'll.
Sufferers from carbuncles are almost
never vigorous; the aged are much ex-
posed to them, and they frequently at
tack sufferers from Brights disease Or
diabetes.
The treatment Of carbuncles coih-
cides in part with that of boils, but
the patient is usually so i'll that there
should be no temporizing with simple
remedies. The physicians aid should
be invoked at once.-Yomhs COM

Where he Got it.

On one election day, great many
years ago, certain town in State in
which the local option law was opera
tive voted against granting licenses to
sell intoxicating liquors. In the year
that followed the authorities were in
defatigable in their efforts to detect
and put stop to illegal traffic, and
one Of their methods was to question
those who were before the court for
drunkenness as to where they had OBJ
tanned the necessary material. 1t be-
came the custom to ask the man on
trial: "Where did you get your Ii
quor?' He was generally given to
understand, especially if his case had
mitigating circumstances, that frank
answer would gain him clemency.
Sometimes, if there was no previous
conviction against him, it earned him
his discharge.
One morning there appeared before
the magistrate two coal men, who wore
the blackcned garments in which they
had been working all the day before,
and to all appearances had been taken
from their team by officers who appre-
hended them. Neither had record,
and, of course, their clothes in them
selves were evidence that they had
steady employment, and under ordi-
nary conditions were hard working
citizens. The judge intimated that if
they would tell where they had OBJ
tanned the beverages that had brought
them into trouble, he would let them
go. They were not familiar with po-
lice court methods, and the meaning
of the judges words dawned on them
slowly, but simultaneously. They
looked at each other quickly, and each
gave little snicker, which he imme-
diately hushed up in a shamefaced
way. Then they scratched their heads
and looked at each other again, and
each put his hand before his face to
hide smile.
Come said the Judge, "where did
you get your liquor?"
One of the prisoners nudged the
other, and the other nudged back.
