An Alabama man tells OF an UNIQUE
funeral GRAFTON delivered in a town
Of that state not long ago By a darly
preacher.
Now, It seems that the habits of
thu deceased brother had not been ir-
rel -oachable. to the great scandal Of
the worthy pastor Of the flock. So in
summing up the case at the funeral,
the preacher delivered himself Of the
following:
Ny brethren and sisters, we are
he-e to pay our last sad respects to
oui departed brother. Some says he
wa a good man, and some says he
was a bad man. Where he has gone
to We can't tell, but in our grief we
hS~s one consolation, and that is
he's dead"

Golden Text--Seek ye FIRST t1e king.
dom Of God, and his righteousness and
all these things shall be added unto
you. Matt. ~i:33.
Verse 19-What would Jesus have
every man to consider as his chief
treasurer" (See Matt. vi:33)
What is the test as to what a mans
treasure" is, or that which he values
most highly?
II Jesus here does not forbid a man
to provide in the present, for the fu.
ture temporal needs Of himself and
family. what is it he does forbid?
Verse 20--What is implied In laying
up treasure in heaven. and how is it
done?
Verse 21-How would you demon.
strato that where your treasure is.
there will your heart be also?"
Verses 22-23-The -eye" is what the
body sees with and distinguishes one
thing from another, what is the facul-
ty Of the soul which answers to the
eye Of the body?
II the judgment is biased and the
conscience perverted. how would that
affect the views which a man may
have Of moral and spiritual questions!
Verse 24-What does the word
"mammon" stand for here?
Why is IT impossible for a man to
"cnrunr both God nd ssy,ao
When a mans chief dependence is
upon money, what God does he wor-
ship?
Verses 25-27-Why is our temporal
welfare assured II we depend wholly
upon God!
What are the natural effects Of anx
ious care upon a mans ability to make
proper provisions for the future. and
upon bis present peace OF mind!
What is the only effectual cure for
the common malady OF anxious care?
What are the chief evils OF anxiety?
Why is dependence upon God i'm.
possible. while we are filled with
anxious care about our temporal
needs?
Verses 2S-31-In considering the ILL.,
les. their freedom from toll. their
growth and their beauty. what les.
sons may we learn OF personal and
perfect trust in God for our raiment?
What is the tendency OF perfect
trust in God. upon our habits OF self
help and general Industry
II a person trusts wholly in God. as
Jesus commanded and practised. why
is he as sure TO be as perfect in his
sphere as lily in its sphere,
Seeing that God is to all Of us what
the most loving father is to his chill
dren, what effect should that fact have
upon our peace OF mind concerning
future temporal needs?
What is the ro0t of all anxious care!
Verse S2-What is the fundamental
difference between q saint and a SIN
ner?
Verses 39-34-What reason can you
give, for the accuracy of the statement
of Jesus, that If we make the king
dom of God and It's righteousness our
first care, that all our temporal wants
will thereby be provided for? (ThIx

Knowing by experience that bees
will enter upper stories without any
hestitancy If placed on top Of the hive
or on top OF any story that may he
already on the hive, and as our ex-
tracing Is not done until after the
whitc-honey season Is over, we have
no lift 'ng Of full stories except at ex-
tract!ng-time. We put on the third
story when the second one is about
two-thirds full or at least before al
the empty comh-room Is used How
ever. no set rule can be given as to
the proper time for putting on extra
supers, as there Is a difference in the
colonies IN this respect. Some bees
will work in few combs and begin
to cap those started first, while those
combs at the outside of the super
will not be used at all. In such n
case it would be folly to put on an
other super as long as this coudit on
continues. Other colonies will fill
every available cell with honey be-
fore commencing to draw out the
combs or to cap the cells Such q
colony will need more extra comb
room than the first one mentioned.
for in the first case the bees seem TO
be more adapted to working wax
and drawing out cor. bs. 1t is well
to humor these dispositions, and not
compel the bees mentioned in the last
case to draw out the combs to the
full capacity of the space allowed.
They should, instead, be given ad-
ditional comb-room as they are able
tc use it, and they will store much
more honey than II compelled
against their will TO draw out cells
to the full depth at once.-E. d.

APPENDICITIS.

The most dreaded disease of civilization
is the condition known as appendicitis.
Once fully established, nothing will remedy
but the cold knife. The theory that this
inflammation was caused by seeds or for
eign bodies entering the appendix is long
exploded The true cause OF appendicitis
is sluggishness Of the bowels. constipation:
and the gases which are formed in conse-
quence produce germs known to the scien-
tific physician as the Bacilli Coli Com
mensis. Now to avoid this formation of
gas germs, constipation and the resulting
Inflammation, take Smiths Pineapple and
Butternut Pills, which have been tested in
all the various diseases Of the stomach,
bowels and liver, and found to be the
greatest and best preventative remedy
known. These wonderful little vegetable
pills cleanse the blood, and make it rich
and red. They stimulate the liver to
healthy action and invigorate the whole
system. You may be very sick at night;

charity as a religious obligation and

begsars, the ash besmeared ascetics
vino practice mendicancy as a heredi-
tary profession. Last and not least
are unfortunate sufferers whom the
loss of limbs or eyes or some fell dis
ase disables for work and drives them
to beggary as the last resource. These
latter have a genuine claim on our
charity, but as there are so few asy-
