n STORY.

CAUL, the king of Israel, returned to
- his home at Gibeah not like a con-
quering hero, but as one who has
met some great rebuff and disap-
pointment. In sullen silence he re-
ceived the praise of the people as they
shouted the triumphs of the battle
with the Amalekites and retold to one
another how the enemy had been ut
terly overthrown, King Agag taken
and the best of the spoil carried back
for offering to their God. In fact,
such was the depression of the king,
that the people asked n another:
What aileth Saul? Hath he not
won a great victory for the Lsrd?"
And while the king sought the seclu-
sion OF his W house, denying himself
to even his closest friends, the peo-
pie discussed the situation.
"They do say" said one of a group,
that Samuel, the prophet, hath re-
buked him"
Eyes," responded another, with an
air of superior knowledge, zone who

came there to find the king told me
that the prophet was offended with
Saul because he took King Agag alive
and because the soldiers took of the
spoil. 1t seems that Samuel had
given command that the Amalekites
were to be utterly destroyed, togeth-
er with their goods"
But did not the people talk of the
spoil to make offering to the Lord,
and surely the bringing Of Agag back
was but the rightful trophy of a con-
queror," exclaimed another of the
group.
But Samuel did not think so, EVIL
IDENTIFY, for in great anger he slew
Agag, and would take no part in the
offerings which King Saul had caused
to be made to the Lord"
Various EXPLANATIONS followed this
piece Of news. and the speaker went
on to .say:
In fact, Samuel hath returned to
his abode at Ramah In high dudgeon.

1t is a mistake to make grain the
principal food for laying hens. Grain
is well enough as food for market
fowls, but the laying hen demands
something more. The egg itself is
animal food, and although it can be
produced from grain, yet the hen is
required, in order to be profitable, to
produce an egg each day, or as near
that as possible, and her work must
not be interrupted from lack of the
necessary nutriments. Meat fills a
want that a not easily be supplied
from any other our when the hens

1t was a quaint and singularly wise
remark, by a modern essayist, that no
ones example is SO dangerous to us as
our own; for when WI have done a
certain thing once, it is much easier to
do it again. 1t is the first step which
counts in evil, as well as in good. The
tendency of human nature to form hab-
its, to run in grooves, is one of its
most marked characteristics. Fortunate
ly for us, it has its good side as well as
its bad side. If we can only too easily
form a habit of petulance, of ill TEN.
per, We can also, by trying, form a hab-
it Of ~self-control; and each fresh victory
over ourselves is easier than the first.

themselves like men, the things that UNI

Voice Of American Women.

+ Why Is 1t always the women OF Amer
lea who are rebuked for their way of
speaking, when 1t is really the men who
deserve scoldng? American women
have their pecullnritles, but their voices
and their accents are ut any IA to care
full, and have n refinement of their own
mot an English finish, but a very per-
ceptible one On the other hand, Amer
lean men very seldom have what one
must call, so MS to be understood, an etlu-
Gated voice. The first thing that strikes
the newcomer In tho United States Is the
upcultvated speech Of gentlemen, Il is
unlike anything In Europe, unless some
OF the intonations In south Germany may
be likenedito 1t, And this makes the very
great difference between l3oston and the

Dogs as Srnugglers.

Gibraltar Is practically free port, and
tobacco and everything else Is cheaper
there than in Spain. which Is only two
miles away across the isthlnus The land
between Is called the neutral ground.
and there Is now a high woven wire fence
across it, which is guarded day and night
by the Spanish customs officers. \
The fence was put up In order to pre-
vent tobacco being carried across without
paying duty. The s1nugglers had trained
dogs to carry parcels from one side to
the other The way they did 1t was 20
dress up one OF their number as a Span

run and no customs official could get
