Why Southern Illinois Is Called
Egypt.

The year 1924 was very wet.
Heavy rains fell frequently. Corn
on fiat lands was a total failure. This
year the weevil destroyed the wheat
after it was harvested. The mex;
year, 1925, there was a remarkable
growth of thistles on the branch bot
toms. The winter of 1S30-31 was
known as the winter of deep snow.
The snow was of a depth of from
two and a half to three feet on
level. 1t drifted much and was very
destructive to fruit trees. The
weather was intensely hot. Both In
1881 and 1892 the early frosts so
injured the corn as to entirely render
it worthless for almost any purpose.
During the years between and in
Guiding 1S24-32, so nearly CORES

God Watches Us Lovingly.

The thought of Gods eye upon us
is usually looked upon as thought
to strain and bride us in the hour of
temptation and carelessness; and so
it is. But with our selfish love OF
forbidden things we miss what is
meant not merely to restrain us, but
to be the greatest and most unfailing
of our comforts. The thought that
God sees US always is His great en-
couragement and help to His children
in doing right. His eye is not the eye
of a Judge and ruler only, but of a
shepherd and father, the lover of the
souls of men, these poor souls of ours
and of our brethren, not sparing even
His own Son for them. We are being
watched by an eye of tenderness and
sympathy deeper and truer than even
that of any man on earth for his suf-
fering friend-Church.

the world have never ceased to look
upon Him. Theologies have come
and gone; the church has had its ups
and downs; but Jesus is always the
centre of interest. There stand on
my library shelf two large volumes
fresh from the press. They are
dictionary of Jesus, what He said and
did And they happen to stand along
side of a volume on Jesus Christ and
the Social Question" 1t suggests the
unfailing interest of thoughtful men
in Jesus. They are never satisfied
with what has been said and written
regarding Him. There will be other
dictionaries, other lives of Christ, in
the coming years. And when great
social problems are discussed. the
question of the home, of work and
wages, of capital and labor, of human
brotherhood, men will turn as they
do now to the Gospels to study afresh
what Jesus said. Let there be dis
covered the merest fragment of some
ancient manuscript containing in mu-
tilated form some saying of Jesus and
the news of the discovery is tele-
graphed around the world, and the
fragment becomes priceless. HOW are
we to explain this undying interest
in Jesus? Not in any of the outward
circumstances or conditions OF His
life. How limited and meager it was!
A life of poverty; a brief life; begin
ming in manger, ending on cross.
A life outside the circles of libraries
and great thinkers, outside the circles
of wealth and social position. The
secret of it's unique command upon
the interest of men is given in the
text: ct pleased the Father that in
Him should all fullness dwell"
The hope CT the world is in Him.
To Him we bring our burdens and
perplexities. To Him we come for
comfort and strength. To be in vital
relation to Him is our highest privi-
lege. Having Him as our personal
Lord and Master we have life's high
est prize He is Gods richest gift tic
the world. He is the clearest inter.
probation to humanity of the infinite
wealth of love and wisdom and power
of God. The divine heart beats in the
bosom of Jesus; the divine voice
speaks through His lips; the divine
help is given through His service; the
divine life is impaired through fel.
lowship with Him.
The leadership of the world be-
dwells in Him to accomplish the eter.
nal purpose of God; the establishment
of the kingdom of love in human
hearts. He has been equipped for the
service of leadership. To Him has
been given fullness of vision that He
may see the way; fullness of power
that He may overcome every obstacle;
fullness of love that He may win men
and make them follow Him. He who
died on the cross will occupy the
throne; the despised and rejected OF
men will receive universal praise and
love. To hasten the day when all
shall know Him, when the eternal
purpose of redeeming love shall b.
fulfilled in the kingdom of Christ is
our supreme duty. To that work
we should consecrate our lives. II
should kindle our enthusiasm. Jesus
should be supreme in our thought
and speech, our affection and devo-
ton. May He be our leader! May
we gladly, enthusiastically follow
Him!

Good Burglar Alarm.

At the top Of the stairway In the
Grigson dwelling there was board
that emitted a loud creak whenever
anybody stepped on it. Mr.. Grigson
was always intending to have the
thing f1xed,' but never did it, and by
common consent the members of the
family usually stepped over it, par
ticularly when the head of the family
had gone to bed.
One night, very late, just as Mr..
Grigson was dropping off to sleep,
somebody stepped on that board and
it gave forth it's customary loud pro-
test.
There you go again!" he angrily
called out. That's you this time,
John! Pretty time of night for you
to be getting to bed!"
John, the eldest son, made no re-
spouse, but instead there was rush
and a jump down the stairs that
brought the whole household into the
hall just in time to hear the front
door slam. A hurried investigation
disclosed a bag of valuables which
a frightened burlar had left.
The board still sqeaks.-Youth' S

Had Toothpick In InteStines.

A toothpick nearly two inches in

the intestines of Mrs. H. w. Ehres

been suffering from constant pain in
her stomach for several weeks, and
a few days ago was Frustrated by the

She was taken to the hospital, and
the physicians we're much perplexed
to diagnose her case. They finally
located the pain center in her intes-

her. When the operation was per-
formed it was found that the tooth

Is Oratory A Drawback?

The great orators have not been
the most fortunate aspirants for the
Presidency. Webster, Clay, Douglas,
and Blaine were idolized by their
followers, not only for their abilities
and personal traits, but also for their
persuasive powers of speech. Horace
Greeley, candidate of the Democrats
and Liberal Republicans in 1872, was
not notable orator, but was, none
the less, an effective talker. He made
a speaking tour in the latter part
of the campaign, and although his
position was an anomalous one, he
acquitted himself with credit. even
If he was overwhelmingly defeated.
Tilden, who in his free soil days
made speeches, obtained his mastery
by his pen, not by his tongue. Grant,
who was called the silent man be-
cause he could not make speech
when he first became a candidate,
learned to speak very we'll In public,

good condition. And wear it she did
until a new one became a necessity.
The new one was ordered, and one
of her sons was despatched to bring
it home. He went on horseback, and

DAUGHTER OF A DONNIE.

The story of the daughters OF ar
old time New England clergyman is
given by Mrs. Lucy Fitch Perkins II

those days of minister's daughter
was looked upon as social event re-

When the dominie's eldest daugh-
ter went to Boston to buy her house

turned out to see her go; and for
time it seemed doubtful If the second

CARE OF THE HAIR.

The so-called tonics are of three
kinds those tht supply oil when the
sebaceous glands are not doing their
duty, those that stimulate the circu-
latory organs, and those that destroy
germs. Among the best of the oils
are olive oil, almond oil, sweet oil,
1anolin and vaseline. Among the
stimulants are tonics based principal
ly upon the cantharides, salicyllc
acid, quinine and nux vomica. Their
use is to excite the blood vessels to
greater activity, and in that way to
make the blood bring more nourish-
ment to the scalp. The best of the
antiseptic germ destroying ointments
are made of a combination of Ian
olin and vaseline. The virtue OF
these tonics lies in their use at just
the right time and under just right
conditions. -Harper's Bazaar.

Home of the Orange.

Careful research has shown that
India was the country from which the
orange spread to Western Asia and
eventually to Europe and the Ameri-
cas-. Oranges are at present found
wild in many parts of Northern IN
dia. Cultivated from a remote per-
iod in Hindustan, they were carried
to Southwestern Asia by the Arabs,
probably before the close of the ninth
century. They spread ultimately,
through the agency of the same race,
to Africa. Spain and possibly Sicily,

RAW EGGS FOR INvALIDs.

For invalids, the phosphorized fats
of the egg yolk, known as lecithin,
are particularly valuable. Often the
physician orders a raw egg to be
taken daily. In such case the
pungency, or relish, to the egg should
be given by the use of lemon juice,
and not vinegar, as is often done.
Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice
into a wineglass, break the egg into
the glass, being careful not to break
the yolk; then squeeze little more
lemon on the top and sprinkle with
salt. The egg thus prepared should
be swallowed whole.-Boston Cook
