THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE
LESSON.
Reflections of an Eievat ting Character
Wholesome Food for Thought
Studying the scripturaI Lesson In
telligcntly and Probably.

The lesson for April IL is from Mark
8: 22-24; 35-43, and has for its subject
'rhe Daughter OF Jairus Raised" The
Golden Text is Mark 3: 80.
The lesson on Jairus daughter is in
troduced out of the chronological order
for the sake of its appropriateness for
Easter Sunday. The wisdom of this may
be questioned, but the time element has
little to do with this particular passage,
hence the confusion likely to result is not
large. Following the sermon on the
mount, from which we had two lessons,
Jesus went on a second preaching tour
through Galilee. He healed a centurion's
servant, raised widows son at Main,
received the last message of John the
Baptist, was anointed in Simon's house
and wrought several miracles by the sea;
also uttered the parallels of Matt. 13.
Some of these events, which occupied the
summer of A. ID. %, will be studied in
subsequent lessons. The raising of
Jairus' daughter took place in the autumn
Of that year. 1t is related by Matthew
@: 1920 and Luke Is: 1856, as well as

RLOODSHED IN PORTO RICO.
Trouble with Notwithstanding Ne
yroea CuIniuafes i'm VioIeuce


There has been bad blood between the
foreign colored workmen in Porto Tiera,
Porto Rico, and the natives for some
time. The natives were particularly in
censed against the English-speaking ne
groes from st. Thomas and st. kits.
Thursday afternoon an immense mob Of
infuriated Porto Ricans attacked the for
eigners with the greatest violence. Re-
volvers, clubs, stones and any weapons
at hand were used.
The negroes resisted stubbornly and
killed one of their assailants. Several Of
the foreigners were seriously dubbed or
stabbed. A recent strike caused the trou-
BILE, the natives declaring the foreigners
were trying to take their places, and that
every one would be driven into the sea.
One hundred American soldiers were sent
to the scene, and took charge of the docks
where the trouble occurred.

Queen Victoria set foot on Irish soil
Wednesday for the first time in almost
forty years. Dublin was resplendent.
The decorations in the city and along the
route which the Queen took from Kings
town were lavish and more magnificent
than those of London at the time Of the
diamond jubilee. The streets were
spanned in a hundred places by elabor-
ate arches bearing notices of welcome
and expressions of loyalty. The entrance
to the city at Leeson street bridge was
marked by huge triumphal arch of
fags, flowers and evergreen on which
was emblazoned welcome to Dublin
in gold letters. The streets were jammed
with people at an early hour. lrishmen
had gathered from the ends of the island,
and hundreds of Englishmen were in The
throng. The entire route from Kings
town to Dublin was lined with spectators.
The Queen was received by the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, Earl Cadogan,

That the British admiralty has
learned the lesson taught by the gun

battles of Santiago and Manila, Is
shown by the steps that are being
taken to improve the gunnery Of the
English navy. In order that the mark

Milking by Machine.

Men dislike to milk cows and numer-
Gus machines have been invented to do
1t for them, says Denver Field and
Farm. Most of these machines are fool
lsh contrivances and none are real sue
cesses. They are divided into four
classes: Drainers, suckers, squeezers
and suction-squeezers. No machine yet
devised, however, has become a dem
onstrated success. Some are better
than others, but none have proven de-
sirable adjuncts to dairy equipment.
Men will continue to devise. and 1t is
not improbable that at some time large
herds may be MIXED by machine. This
opinion has many supporters.

Enternrise in Farming.

The farmer and his farm are said to
be alike; that is, the farm is what the
owner makes it, and 1t indicates his
characteristics. The main desire of an
enterprising farmer is to save as much
manure as possible, and it is an old
maxim that the best way TO judge of
the work of a farmer Is to observe how
he manages his manure heap, as In the
manure are collected the riches of the
farm. An enterprising farmer will also
keep his buildings In repair and make
the farm attractive In appearance, but
at all seasons Of the year, whenever an
opportunity is offered for so doing, he
will give a portion of his time to the
manure heap.

Sweet Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are grown success
fully in one-half the area of the United
States. The crop produces from 100 to
300 bushels to the acre in the States
south of Nebraska and New York, and
fair yields are reported from Maine
md the warm valleys Of the irrigated
West. The last official census gives
the yield for the entire country at a.
100000 bushels. Expert growers esti-
mate the actual cost Of production
from 10 to 20 cents per bushel. There
Is certainly good profit In growing the
crop. A warm. sandy, well drained
poil Is the ideal spot for sweet potatoes.

The Dutterny's Pocket,

The male butterflies have the proud
privilege Of a pocket, but the pocket Of
butterfly is wonderfully made. 1t is
really an extension uf the under wing
folded back on the upper side, but it is
eXquisitely colored and marked like the
upper side, SO that it is very hard to
detect, and no one has yet discovered
Just how it is opened, although I'M
doubtedly the butterfly can throw it
open while he Is flying.
At first glance there seems to be only
white or amber colored silk floss with
In, but examine this with microscope
and you will find twisted ribbons, sIen-
der rods shaped like shepherds
crook. others jointed bamboolike and
flexible rods and tiny scales of various
sorts and patterns.
1t Is known that insects have mar
velously keen scent, and it is believed
that all these odd little objects are per-
fume boxes and that the fragrance so
thrown abroad is signal call to the
female butterfly, which may be wan
dering about in the air. 1t is, to say
the least, n very interesting guess and
there Is evidence to prove that butter
flies and moths are summoned from
distances by odors that we would hard

sky, cried out in glad voice: There

came running out at his cry, and to-
gether they saw their two children
standing hand in hand far away in the
sides of the sky, the two little stars
that had not been there before. let
us follow them said the mother, and
together they rose into the deepening
twilight and fed after their children.
but Piri and Noko, far off in the
sky, saw their parents coming and,
thinking they were angry, sped away
toward the western horizon. The par
ents followed, and when they reached
the highway Of Tame that god of light
changed them into stars. And now,
when the night is clear, you may see
two little twin stars flying away to-
ward the west and some distance be-
hind two larger stars in vain pursuit.
Thus forever they go round and round
the world, Piri and Noko running away
from their parents because they were
so foolish as to think their mother did

In n recent lecture on Rome Mr..
Frederic Harrison said that the great
value of the city of Rome, from the
point of view of general culture and
education, was that it Had by far the
longest and most complete history of
any city in the world. 1t had three
great qualities as the center of human
culture and the development of human
civilization. 1t was the center of the
ancient world for many centuries, it
became the center of the early Chris
tian world and for 1000 years it had
been the center of religious pilgrim
ages, while for four or five centuries 1t
had been the center of poetry and art
of the modern world. These three
great cpochs together made up some.
thing like 5000 years, and no city in
