1872 Where did Cain obtain his wife?
Answer. He must have taken her with
him when he went forth a fugitive, and
she must have been his own sister or
niece. The Bible does not mention all the
children Of any man, and generally says
nothing of the daughters. That Adam
had daughters is probable. Gen. VA
1863 Were not the laws Of Moses exceed
ingly severe, especially those that pre-
scribed stoning to death?
Answer. They were; and yet it must be
remembered that they were given to a
people who had been long time slaves
in Egypt; that those people needed severe
methods to bring them to a state of
higher civilization. The same laws could
not be enacted and enforced in civilized
country in our day, although our laws
are sometimes lax, and they are often
carelessly administered.

Reason why
The Great Males 'ic
is The best range
in The World:

1t has an old-fashiorel char
coal Iron body, t at will
wear three times as long as
steel.
1t has malleal le iron frame,
top, and doors, that cannot
break or crack.
The oven is made Of the hcav-
lest steel ever put into a
range, hand rive cd, to an
gle iron, and i guaranteed
to rem lin alright.
The reservoir is On the left
side, where the cold water
cannot chill the oven.
The heat stays inside the stove
lit cannot escape though
the pipe.
1t requires only half the fuel
of the ordinary range.
1t is the most satisfactory,
economical and least ex
pensive range you can buy.
1t will send water, boiling hot,

laughed. I looked up to see what

Dynamo Ordered
For Light Plant.

The Friday Harbor Lumber and
Manufacturing Company has ordered.
a 30 kilowat dynamo from the Vest,
inghouse Electric Company, of Pitts.
burg, Pa, for the electric light plant
which is to be installed here this sum-
mer. The dynamo will be Of sufficient
power to generate 1000 ordinary
lights. The direct current system
will be used. Itrequires the use of
much greater quantity Of wire than
an alternating current but has adj
yantages which make it more desir-
able than the latter in a place like
this. The dynamo is expected about
the first of July. In the meantime
poles will be erected and wires strung.

Very Tired Indeed.

It remained for a little girl to
nearly if not quite equal a famous
witticism of Leigh Hunt. OF course
she spoke in childish innocence,
where the English essayist and wit
used his ripened intellect.
Hunt, in describing an exceeding
ly warm day, it will be remembered,
spoke of it as one which tempted
him to strip off his flesh and sit in
his bones.
The dear little miss had been
romping and running all day. To-
ward nightfall her father met her.

he asked.

replied. Then in a burst OF CONT

Guide to the Individual.
A certain earl whose disregard Of
dress IS quite proverbial called at
nls tallor's to pay his bill A new
manager came forward to receive the
cash, and, not knowing his lordship.
took him for servant. He exam
med the account, and, after receipt
ing it, slipped sovereign into the
supposed servants hand, at the same
time saying confdentially:
THAT is a sovereign for yourself,
and you know if you had only been
a little bit sharper it would have
been two. You don't get your mas
ter's clothes worn out half anick
enough. In that time he ought to
have had double the amount on that
bill, and it is really worth your while
to get a harder brush
With half grin the earl replied.
well, I've always thought my brush
nncommonly hard, and anyhow his
lordship complains of it,
Nonsense" calculated the man
ager. TT isn't anything like hard,
but | can put you up to a wrinkle
that may even pass an occasional f5
note into your pocket. Just look
here a moment. You see this bit Of
stick that | have just taken from
the shelf? Well, that's roughened
on purpose. You take that and give
your masters coat good scrubbing
about the elbows every day and give
the trousers touch about the knees,
and it's at least a good f5 in your
pocket every year. You needn't
think that we shall forget YOU"
sYou are indeed very kind" said
the earl with meaning smile. q

tons to my valet, though I feal
