made a marriage feast for his son, and
sent his servants out to invite the
guests to come that his house might be
filled. but they made light of it. One
went to his farm, and another to his
merchandise. They were all agreed on
the one point that they would slight the
invitation. While they made various
excuses they were all agreed that they
would slight the invitation, but the
great king would not let the feast that
had been provided at so great cost be
unattended and lost, and so he says:
Go out into the highways and hedges
and compel them to come in that my
house may be filed. There are a great
many people today that do not believe
in powerful persuasion to bring people
into this banquet of love and
mercy, but Jesus Christ did,
because he said go and tell them to
come in. There are a great many peO-
pie today that are something like that
man whose little boy said: Il would like
to die, said Willie, If my papa could
die to. but he says he isn't willing be-
cause he can't leave the store"
Men and women are so absorbed in
the things of this life that when the in
vitation is given to them to come to the
banquet of love and mercy, they slight
the invitation. Our Lords meaning in
this parable is not difficult to see, the
Jews have been a. chosen peculiar peO-
pie to whom God had committed his
holy oracles. All this wealth of love he
displayed in vain. Some we learn may
come into guests chamber which means

WANTED TO SEE THAT FooT.-On
the principle that to some persons even
old stories are new, this one, of the
royal princelings of England, is given
in Mr.. G. E. w. Russel's recent book,
"Collections and Recollections :"
An English gentleman who had a
deformed foot was going to visit the
queen at Osborne, and before his ar
rival the queen and Prince Albert de.
bated whether it would be we'll to
warn the Prince of Wales and the
princess royal of his physical peculiari'
ty, so as to avoid their making em.
barrassing remarks, or to leave it to
their own good feeling.
The latter course was adopted
Lord - duly arrived. The foot
elected no remarks from the royal
children, and the visit passed off with
success. Next day the princess royal
asked the queen:

bees. While this honey is pure, it is
somewhat darker than that which is
extracted from cotton blossoms, and
hardly of such exquisite taste. Still it
is much better than most of the
honey that it collected in the spring.
There is another serious drawback
to honey dew. While seemingly it is
precipitated from the atmosphere, it
does not come in an unfailing supply.
1t is never seen before the first of May
or after the first of September; and
while during some years it may fall
on as many as so days altogether,
some years it does not fall at all. Mr..
Walker said he has not seen any this
year at all. He does not think there
has been any, and, as the result, the
bees have been having rough time
of it.
1t is because of the honey dew then
that Mr.. Walker thinks the bee keeper
should have a large number of colo
onies. With the honey dew falling on
five or six days in succession, as it
sometimes does, even a weak colony
can collect all the honey for which it
can find room. If a man has large
number of colonies, then, of course, he
gets there with large quantity of
honey but if he only has few colo
nies, of course he is unable to take ad-
vantage of such windfalls even when
thew come

TOMATO GRAvY.-Much is said, and
none too much, of the dietetic virtues
of the apple. Next to it, perhaps, we
may rate the tomato. 1t has one vir'
tue that we have never seen mention
ed-the property of emulsifying fats
To this may be added singular facul'
ty of assimilating itself to the flavor
of meat gravy, with which its juice
may be cooked. Our housekeeping
friends may try fried steak, for once
by cooking little tomato juice in the
sizzling pan just after removing the
meat. Any melted fat, or baked shreds
and juice adhering to the iron, or but
ter applied to the meat, entirely disap'
pear in an emulsion, making rich
copious, reddish brown Gravy, with
the true meat flavor scarcely modified
by slight piquant acidity from the
fruit. If the steak has been left in q
vessel to save its DRAWINGS since it was
cut, and this juice be put in with
that of the tomato, the gravy will be
so much enriched and enlarged, as
we'll as thickened, by the coagulation
of the additional albumen. Colander'
ed tomato pulp with this meat juice
makes thick sauce of like rich flavor
for roast or stew.--The Sanitary Era.

NICE For THE NECKTIE WEARER.-
A rather loudly dressed "gentleman"
stepped into the necktie apartment OF
a big shop the other afternoon, and, in
q supercilious tone that would have
nettled craven image into anger, ut
tered the single mandatory word:
"Neckties !"
Then he threw back his head as if
the assistant was entirely beneath his
notice. This top-lofty air aggravated
the assistant but he quietly displayed
q number of late patterns with de-
ferential air.
"These," said he, obsequiously, "are
the very newest thing, and are excel

some stories of old General Abercrom-

CONTINUED from First Page.)

heat of the sun, mellowed by the leaf
age, and tempered by the breeze warns
their bodies through and through, they
drop off into a sweet sleep and the
great peace of the little death in life
fills their soul. Time is no more, nor
the fret of life. They are going where
the innumerable dead of all the ages
have gone, in the delicious nirvana,
which sick souls in prisons and in sore
distress crave as the one great boon.
To sleep in the softened warmth of the
sun up in the mountains is to learn
more than all the philosophers have
taught.
Science, human science, speaks OF
the sun as a huge immeasurable ball
or globe of fire, or of some primal
force. In these mountains you know
better. That bright life and that
glowing heat is the intelligence and
love of God Himself. Holy men have
always gone up into the mountains to
pray, and even we poor paganized
souls, may in these high places feel His
presence near. Nature appears to
make her riddles clear when man gets
away from the life of show and repre-
sentation. The ultimate knowledge,
the secret of happiness, the infinite
contents of natural man you find in
the simple people roaming over these
hills. All that has been thought out
laboriously by the metaphysicians, all
the speculations of the philophers, all
the precepts of the sages, are idle imag-
inings. The man who rises with the
sun in the highlands Of the earth and
lies down at dark for slumber, knows
more than we who read in books and
move restlessly over the face of this
old globe.
