LITERAL IN HIS THEOLOGY
Darby Preachers Humorous Comment
on Biblical Text AS He Under
stood Its Meaning.

OF old the right of individual private
Interpretation of the scriptures was
not accorded to the laity. Only the
priests or preachers were authorized
to say what was meant by the sacred
text. That has all been changed, and
no man will now be expelled from the
most orthodox church for believing
that Balaam's palace mule did not
really address his fellow citizens of
Judea on the political issues of the
day, or considering that the statement
Of the suns standing still at the order
of Captain Joshua was an illustrative
allegory and not the record of frozen
fact.
This advance in theology is illus.
trated by the story of the darby
preacher who delivered sermon from
the text, "These eight did Micah
bear"
"Muffrinds," said he, you is singu.
larly blessed by de Lawd in dis gen.
GRAFTON. If you wants some milk you
done goes to youah COW, and at one
milk you gets enough of de laciferous
fluid fob eight people. In de olden
times Of which de Bible speaks it
took eight folks to milk bear, en-
specs dey gets mighty little milk at
dat."--Los Angeles Times.

DOMESTIC PEAcEMAKER.

Queen Mary OF England has display
ed many strong traits of character
since her elevation, but In nothing has
she taken a firmer stand than against
the unwholesome display of marital
discord in the divorce courts. She
may believe In divorces for particular
reasons and under particular circum-
stances, although she has effectuaily
discouraged them among the nobility.
Gay young, scions of nobility may not
hope flagrantly to disregard their do
mestic obligations and continue to en-
Joy the favor of the queen. Divorces.
who have sought the publicity of the
courts and poured forth their woes
may no longer bask In the smiles of
royalty, unless their cause be most I'M
usual. The queen recently emphasized
this when she commanded the duke
and duchess OF Westminster to appear
together at a state dinner, say the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. The command.
OF course. brought the separated
couple together and the duke display
ed the most considerable, even if frig-
Id attention to the duchess. 1t was their
first appearance together in public in
three years, during which time their
separation has been publicly discuss
ed. Queen Mary, wife and mother,
may we'll maintain the position she
has taken. The shameless and wan
ton abuse of the privileges Of the di
vorce court needs such a rebuke as
that implied by the course of Eng

MORE TROUBLE III A GARDEN
Old Gentleman Went Too Far In His
Inquiry, and Demonstration
Proved His Undoing.

An elderly gentleman walking
through his garden one day stopped
before a fig tree on which were two
hgs just ripening. His favorites were
figs, and summer often came and
went without the fruit coming to ma.
turity.
Shortly after, he met his gardener,
who, assuring him the figs were quite
ripe, was requested to send them to
the summer house, where his master
was about to rest.
Picking the figs, the gardener sent his
little boy of seven with the basket. On
the way the little fellow stopped and,
removing the leaves, gazed upon the
tempting fruit
The attraction was too great; he ate
one. Covering the other with the
leaves, he proceeded upon his errand.
On being asked if the gardener had
not sent two figs, the boy, after a mo-
ment's silence, answered.: 81 ate one"
"You ate one? How?" exclaimed the
old gentleman, angrily. How did you
come to do that?"
Dropping his eyes to the basket. 81
took it like this" said the child, taking
the remaining fig, land I ate it like
this"
And, suiting the action to the word,
he consumed the second fig before the
astonished eyes of the old gentleman.

Spiders Catch and Eat Fish.

Specimens Of the spider known as
Thalassius SpenCeri are in the mu.
scum at Durham, Natal, and the Gu.
rator, %. G. Chubb, has just made sci.
entifc announcement Of the discovery
Of member of this species in the act
Of catching fish for food.
One of the spiders was captured
several years ago by the Rev. N.
Abraham at Greytown, and it was
placed in an aquarium. A servant
boy soon noticed. the creature eating
pet fish, and the startled clergyman
left his study to watch.
The spider, three inches across with
legs extended, stationed itself at the
waters edge, with two legs on a
stone and the eight others spread out
on the water. After q time a fish
came under the outstretched legs,
which were suddenly thrown around
1t as the spider made a plunge, drIv.
Ing its fangs into It's prey, and then
at once climbing out on the. rocks. 1t
soon ate a fish Of four times it's own
weight.

Time out of mind the medical pro-
fession has spoken Ill Of ladies' wells
The old objection was that they are
pretudicial in the eyesight. The wear
ing of wells with black spots on them
Is said to have caused blindness. But
now new count is added to the in.
dictment. 1t is asserted that the
wearing of wells is perilous to health
on account of the fact that their
lightly wrought fabric is a net for
microbes. When the wearer inhales
through her veil the microbes are
drawn into the breathing passages.
and there iG no help for it-except. of
course, to dispense with the use of
the veil. Another common source of
danger Is said to be the washing at
laundries of handkerchiefs and other
linen which has been used by persons
afflicted with tuberculosis. This is so
plainly risk that it would seem it
should be prohibited by law.
