Major Henry M. Neil of this city was
the first man to be enlisted in Ohio
under the call for troops by President
Lincoln for the civil war.
Major Neil has never spoken of his
distinction until now. The Major says
that when the message came from
Lincoln for the quota he was in Gov
ernor William Dennison's office.
The governor, who was his brother
in.law. related the contents of the
telegram. and Major Neil followed by
saying that he could be counted on
and desired to be the first man en-
rolled. When Lieutenant Bob" VIII
lliams arrived from Washington thai
night to recruit soldiers he swore Ma
jor Neil in as a private.
Neil served in the short service and
was mustered out in 1864, after com
handing a battery he had raised. This

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis.
eased portion OF the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is in1amed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when It IS entirely closed, Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tlon, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength than other makes.

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those of our generation. To be sure,
there are hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
On from morning till night The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor
Of his banquet hall, or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover, although her cloth
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
1t was not subject to rapid changes Of
fashion. The cut of a sleeve or the
hang of skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like last years rag bag"

ranges from the creation of man to

Lon6on's religious sects, which are
now almost as, many as the days OF

burns his incense stick in more than
one joss-house in the east end, the Ma
hometan has his mosque, the Malayan
his temple, near st. Georges street
east; the Parsees worship the sun In
Bloomsbury, the Mormons have mis-
sion in Islington, and in many parts
of the metropolis the Buddhists and
Ancestor Worshipers perform their
strange rites. Of Christian sects In
London there are at least 300, includ-
ing the Cokelers, the disciples of VIII
liam Sirgood, the Walworth shoe
maker; the Peculiar People, who pre-
fer prayer to physicians; the Sande-
manfans, the followers of Joanna
Southcott, the prophetic serving
maid; the Shakers and the Seventh

THE STORY.

mr. EVER before had David met such
~ a trying situation. His soul was
yexed within him until 1t almost
seemed as though he would go mad.
Here had come the appeal, or rather
order from Achish, the Philistine king,
who had befriended him In his hour
OF need and had given him Ziklag as a
possession, asking that David and his
men join him in an expedition against
Israel. And what could he do? He
dare not refuse-He dare not fight
against his own countrymen. But
what could he do? and he lifted his
eyes to the heavens, bright with their
myriad stars, and groan escaped
from his anguished soul. He was sit
ting alone in the darkness striving to
find some way out of his dilemma. On
the morrow they were to go forth, and
he had given his promise to Achish
that he would stand with him, but
ne had not dared to tell his men as
vet, for he feared that they would not
receive the commission kindly
He recalled with troubled con-
science how a few months before,
when he had gone out and destroyed
the Geshurites and the Amalekites to
to south of Judah, that he had de-
ceiyed Achish, making him believe
that it was against his own country
men he had fought and that he had
thus forever separated himself from
them, And now Achish was going to
prove his loyalty to him. All night
long David struggled with the prob
lem. but with the coming of the
morning light he was as much as ever
in the" dark as to the course to pur-
sue. and so he did the only thing any
man could do under the circum-
stances, called his men together and
prepared them to go forward with
Achish and his men.
tBut we will leave some OF the men
to guard Ziklag during out absence"
questioned one of the leaders under
David.
'eNo," responded David, we shall
have need of all our men this day.
And so, in obedience to the com
mand OF their leader, David's men
marched forth And David said with

THE LOAD OF THE LAZY.
This Man Worked Hard in His Own
Particular Way.

One of the neighborhood loafers sat
comfortably smoking his foul pipe, &C.
cording to his daily custom, in the pre-
scription room of drug store. He
was soliloquizing aloud to the clerk.
Here is sample of his sound, con-
tented philosophy: "I'll tell you what!
A man is mighty miserable if he amt
got nothin' to do, when he amt work
in at somethin'. I know tive tried
both ways an / find that there amt
nothin' that makes a man more miser-
able than dom nothin'. But, you
know, there's two kinds of work; one
of them is where a Teller goes to work
at six in the mornin' an works with
his hands till six at night. The other
is where Teller sits around an thinks.
I amt never happy unless I'm work
in, but I don't believe in that first
kind of work. believe in thinkin' all

SERMONETTE,

: "And David was greatly die
! tressed; for the people spake
, Of stoning hin."-A dark day
! for David. Troubles seemed to
be descending upon him in such
: a flood as to utterly annlhiIate
him. But the distress and. dan
) ger Of that day was to drive
him to God and to keep him
: from the scene of the terrible
tragedy which was being enact
ed in Israel in the defeat and
Z death of King Saul and his sons.
+ The day before, at the earnest
solicitation of Achish, the Phil
lstine king to whom David had
sworn allegiance, he and his
men had gone forth with the
army of the PhtIistines to wage
war upon the nation of israel.
Imagine the predicament into
which David was plunged. He
dare not refuse to go, and yet
: with what awful misgivings he
) must have gone forth, undoubt-
eddy praying to God every step
OF the way that he would save
him from his predicament. And
SO the Lord did, for the suspi-
ctons of the PhiIistine lords
was aroused and they insisted
!. that David and his men be sent
, back. And that morning they
had departed for ZikIag, the
city where the women and the
children and all the substance
; which belonged to David and
) his men, had been left. But
imagine the awful anguish with
which they came upon the
bIackened ruins of their city,
) and found that every living soul
and all the substance had been
: carried off. :"
Now it was that the army
turned upon David with all
I manner of accusations. Here
+ was the curse which had fallen
! upon them for presuming to 90
out and fight against their
1 brethren in Israel. Here was
? the judgment of God for making
alliance with a PhiIistine king.
And they would have stoned
David, but in his distress he
: turns to his God, and there he
: finds the grace and strength to
Withstand the angry forces of
his men. And the Lord directed
! that the pursuit of the maraud-
: ing band be taken up.
Thus was David taken away
from the scene of the conflict
which was being at that very
moment waged between the
Philistlnes and the IsraeIites.
Who knows but what If this
calamity had not fallen upon
him he would have been tempt
!. cd to have plunged into the
battle in defense of his country
! men? And SO during that try
Ing period, God provided a task
; for his hands which took him
away from the scene Of the con-
! fIict. God gave him victory and
: restored to his hands and the
hands of his men all that had
been taken, including the wo-
men and, children. And now,
Instead Of having awkward ex-
: plantations to make to his hreth-
rem in Judah 40 to why he had
} not come to the help of his
!, countrymen, or why he had in
the beginning gone forth to aid
the Philippines, he lie able
to send of the spoil unto the
, elders of Judah, and thus &C.
nnent more closely the ties bind
ing them to him. Thus the
darkest day in David's life
proved the opening door TO the
realization of the hopes of the
years, and SO 1t 10 often with
you and me.
