8. "That join houae to house." Covet oiisnria ii one of the leading Aina in o:it land at the preMnt time. .\ desire to In rich, a desire to add houae to lioune. anc KcId to Keld, leads men into all aorta C wickcdnean and diibunot dcalini;ii. II lead* to the aellinR oi Btronit dri.ik, tc renting huildinirs for s,iloDns and. ganibiiii! riena and other unholy purpoaea. It ia tin "love ot money" that la Ine "root of al' evil."
9. "In mine earn." That i«. the Loro Bjioke what ia tn follow inio the earn ol the prophet, "l^hall be desolate." God'i curae vvill feat on the many housea anc" {orma which hi,ve been acquired throujjli penuriouanes^ an,l unlawful or iinhn.> tncjns. The houaea sh:ill atand without tenants.
10. "Ten nrres—one bath." Ten acrci of vineyard shall yield only about seven gallons of wine. 'Wn homer—an ephah.'' The homer, or kor, was about eij?ht bush els. An ephah waa about three and one fifth peck>. The owner would thus reaf only a tenth part'of the seed he had sown.
11. *'\Voe. Orief, sorrow, misery, a heavy calamity', a curse. "Early in the morning." When it was regarded espe¬ cially ahameful to drink. Acta 2: 13 Banquets for revelry began earlier than usual. Kcclea. 10: 16, 17. "May follow strong drink." Thst they begin and con tinuc to uae it from early morn till night "Till wine indnme them." I'ntil there is excited, excessive action in the blood ves. sels, causing them to act in excitenieiit, in anger, or any evil way which their na tures might be made to feel, under the un- natural pressure ujion the forces and funr tions of the body. In this condition no man ia able to use good judgment or to execute his work correctly.
12. "The harj)." A stringed instnimrni of triangular figure. Music was common at ancient feasts. .\moa 6: 5. 0. "Thi viol." An instrument with twelve strings. "The tabret." A small drum or tambou¬ rine, played on as nn occompaiiimeiil tn singing. "Pipe." The principal mui^ii.-il wind instrument of the Hebrews, connist ing ot a tube with holes, like a flute oi clarionet. It was ni.ide of reed, copper oi bron7.e, and was urcd on all occasions in religiou.9 worship, processions, feasts anci mourning. "Wine. Such as indulge ir revels must hnvc every sense graliiied for only by being stimulated by such ex citement could thev (it all be satisfied there. "They regard not." The most po.< itive proof tliat such conduct is sinful When BO filled with worldly pleasure there is no taste for anything serious. "Keithei consider."   In punishing the guiltv.
1.3. "Gone into captivity." The pro- [ihct sees the future ns if it were before ilis eyes. Those who follow after strond drink are sure ti end in sorrow as though they were already fallen, wilh no further power to act for themselves. "Because they have no knowledge." Becau.»e ol their foolish recklessness in follnwina SI ning drink they make drunkards ni themselves. They act contrary to wisdom. Tlicy become captives hecausi' their brains nre so ruined l,y excessive drinking that they are not capable of acting the part ni pniilent, ran fill men. "llnnorahle men nre fiiinislied." .^trniig drink ruins those in honorahle positions just a.s quickly iii. men of low estate. "Dried up with thirst." Both the great men nnd the common pfo pic suffer alike when in captivity to the cruel power of strong drink. Awful thirst foHoivs drinking, and the burning aensa. tion which drinking men feel is like the diving lip of themFe;ve.i.
U.    "Ilell hath enlarged herself."    The
Rrave, the unseen world of spirits. Nnt ere. the place of torment. l*<letically, it is represented as enlarging ilself immensc- Iv in order to receive the countless ho.^ts of ,Ii'W3 which sho'ild perish. "Tlieir g'orv." All their hnnors shall be laid in the "dust, ncnth will put an end tn all their joys. "Their multitude." Did they g!orv in their numbers? Tlieir imiltitude shall gn down to the pil. Kzik. 31; 18; 32: 32. "Their pomp." The figure thiv made. "He that rejoiceth." Death will turn their niirth into mourninn. He that rejoices nnd revels, and never knows what it is t.i ho serious, shall go where there is weepintt and waiting.
1.5. "M(.'>;i fii.iii—niiglitv mnn—eves of tha lofly." When death' overlooks this class of nicn. those ruined by drink, even thuugh llicy cnme from variou.i positions in life, then it is Ihat they are brought low. There ia no further room for boast¬ ing.   Death settles the matter.
Ifi. ".Shall be exalted in judgment." Wlun man's glory is all p.issed awav Hod is unchaiigcd. Though mi-ii smrn His nf¬ fered men-y and refuse His wise lounsels He h not cast down. He is exalted. "Samtilied in righteousness." r.egarded as holy hy reason of Uis righteous deal-
'"it! "Then shall the lambs." V,h,.;i these are gone into captivity an.l swal¬ lowed up ill death others hhall lill  iK-ir
18. "Iniiiiiity." Ouilt incurring mm- ishment. 'Cords of vanity." Wicked, ness. Knbhins says. "An evil inclinntiin is at first like a fine hair string, but tVie finishing like a cart-rope."
in. '7.*t him make speed." et,'. They challenge the .Miniphty to tin His worst, and set His justice at defiance.
21. "Wise in their own eyes." Th.w v.'ho prefer their own reasonings to ilivine revelations, whn despise or reject the gos¬ pel, or who claim to have a knowledge of It. but do not practice it.
22. "M'ghty to drink." Those who boast that tliiy ciin dl ink innre_ Ihan oth¬ ers and yel be able lo stand. They rh<all not escape the curse of drunkenuess. "To mingle strong drink." To add spices to strong drink, nnd ihe count Ihemselves strong because they can endure the effects. Their glorv is their shame.
23. 'Wliich justify the wicked for re¬ ward." Who, as judges, pervert justico and fnr .t bribe aciiuit the guilty; Ciod will punish such. 'faVe away the rigliteous- iiesa." TliouKh a man be proven innocent, yet because lie does ii,>t give a fee he ia condemned bv these unjust men. Misery will nvertake'him.
24-30. Ill these verses the prophet Bumi up his terrible denuni iat:ons and shoivM how c.implete their ruin will be and how necessarily and unnuidably it will follow upon their sins. l!e,ause lliev had de¬ spised the w.ir.l cf Iin.l th,-v khmild be de¬ stroyed like ch.ilT beforo the fire by the foreign armies that should ciiiie upon them snd devastate their land and carry them aivay captive. "I'pon ft guilty race, unpitied by heaven or hv earth, these ar- wics execute their coinmissinn; and leave the Ian.I desolate snd dark, without one ray of comfort to cheer the horrid gloom."

CARVING   THE   TURKEY,
How to   llanUle   OoliI   Steel   oo  Tlianks- Klvlna Day
The first move of the carver Is to Insert the fork astride the breastbone, at the point, plunging It deep enough to secure a firm hold. Theu remove Ihe drunislick with one stroke of the knife, flrst culting through the skin ilown to the Joint, hitting It squarely. It Is a irtllc dltticnlt to locate thig Joint, lint by pressing Ihe leg away from the bi''.e of the turkey It Is readi¬ ly found.
It Is clnlmed thnt the expert carver iliHS not remove tbe fork from tho breast uutll he has iiuite finished. Bo that as It may It is quite necessary tl) use the fork In sepaiatlug Ihe thigh from the "ilrumstick."
riiinge the fork upright Into the cntre of the brtuslbonc. The drum- si Ilk is niiioved by a single stroke of the knife, hilling the Joint exactly.
A   Vslinpid   cnt   toward   fhe   Joint
iparates liii' thigh and drumstick.
A neat etrcke throngh the ball and s.icUef Joint   severs the  wing.
To accomplish this make a V-shaped cut townrd the Joint, holding the thigh ;i'.-ainst the s.de of th,- turkey with Ihe fork. The "drumstick" drops off i.i:i!ly   Into  lb.'  platter.
Tl.,. ue-M stroke removes the wing. .V ilK'p cut through the ball and socket j.int severs this wilb a pact of the lirecst meat. To strike the Joint Miuarely the lirst time ruiulres skill, Iliouirli sotiietlnus It is done very neat¬ ly by pure luck, and this calls forth most f.lvoialile eoniiuent from tbe ci- peilaut nud hungry nssciulilage. If the knife doesn't strike the joint nt tirst, move It back and forth, pressing the wing away from the body, dis¬ closing the hall of Ihe Joint, then cut through and the wing Is ditaehed.
Will 11 this pMiiss is eonipleted tba disjoiutiil portions are Inid tu one side of the platter, or ^ut on a (eparat* plate, to allow of free space for slicing ll,e I'l'easl nuat.

Washington. D. 0.—"The navy to- dny Is n far greater factor in our re¬ lations with Ihe world than it was be¬ fore the reeent natlonnl expnnsl.in wlileh now Includes Porto Ulco, Ihe Hawaiian Islands, the vast area of land and sea In fhe Phlllpplues nnl our obligations to, Cuba. If we are to have a uavy nt nil It must lie i-oin- ineusuratc with these great eMfenslons —greater In International even than In territorial Iniportnnce. This neces¬ sarily Involves the constnicllon of more navnl vessels, their manning, I'Xenl.se and inaintennnee."
With this brief slalenient Secretnry I.ong. ot tbo Navy Department, make* the following recommendations for new warships to be pnsseil upon at the coming session of the Flfty-sev- entli Congress:
Three first-clas.i battle ships.
Two first-class nrmored cruisers.
Three gunboats, each of about 1000 Ions trlnl displneement.
Three gunboats, ench of about 200 tons trial displneement, for In.sular service.

One collier of about 15,000 tons trial displaeeiueut.
rour tugboats.
The Secretary cal's nttentlon fo fbe need of more officers nnd men. and makes  the.se  recommendations:
In the cnse of line officers, thnt the number of lieutenants be Increased from ,10(1 to ,ir>0. nnd thnt the limit of the number of junior lieutenants nnd enslens he mnde flOO.
Thnt there be nn Increase In the corps of naval constructors and In thnt of civil engineers.
That the present enlisted foree be Increased by 30OO men.
That fhe Mnrlne t;orps be Incrensed by TliO men.
The Secretnry recommends fhnt fhe olfice of VIceAdmlral be revived.
The Secretnry also Invites attention fo the recoinmendnflons In regard fo nn efflclen; enelneerlng personnel, liofh otllcial nnd enlisted.

New York City.—Whatcvsr may bo the Influences, nstaral or stMBctaL at work. It can no longer be diapvtsd that food products, not only In New Totk City but throughout tbe (ouatiy,. ait steadily rlalng In price. In grsesriaa Ihla uew and startUng itrahigmaat Is uot so marked and It Is saM by many to be of only a temporary na¬ ture. In meata the sltoatlon Is one fo concern not only the housekeeper but Ihe meat trade Itself.
One butcher said tbat the present price of meats hi tbe blghest that be has known In nine years; that ia, the highest price to l>e maintained far any length of Ilme. During tbe winter ef iKKi-uu prices were slightly hlghar (or a brief iierlod.
Uue wholesale dealer of this trwles- mau'a acquaintance, wbo, daring his forty years' expertentre In tbe trltsle- sale meat trade has trarded aU atat the Weat, remarked to him teeaatlf that tbere would be no cbsap lieeC fttr a year or two to come. At the praasat time, the butcher added, all msata, with the exception of veal, ctwt the consumer two centa more than In the Isuninier. Veal Itself Is als cwMs higher.
This Increaae came agiddenli' aboat the iirat week la September, the dealer explained, and there was no Indkn* tlou of a return to former price*. In¬ stead, he predicted that the pries tkt meats will Increase from a cent to A cent aud a half within the nest tliree weeks, and be Is 4)f the opinion tluit these abnormal rates will contlana for three or four years.
Further, he aald, the rIs* of sis cents a pouud In veal was due te the good prices obtainable at present for milk. Farmers flud tbat they can get moro proflt out of milk than out oC veal, and are allowing tbeir calve* to become cows.
Mauy reasons are advanced for the Increase In cattle and hog prodncta. The principal oue Is the fsilare ot th* coru crop. Farmers estimate that tot. each bushel of corn eight pounda ot merchnutnble pork should accme. With a price of aix and three-auarter cents for pork, tbe farmer haa a total of ilfty-four cents aa retuma from his bushel of com. to set againat aer- euty-flvc cents, which bis conv «omt mands.
This line of agricultural reaaoning also appliea lo cattle, and during the year thousands of acres which ware formerly tlevoted to graslng were plowed and planted for grain. The "corustalk disease" ha* also thinned the ranks of the beef pn^ducers, and the heavy losses on ranches In winter, due tu Inadequate housing, bave bt no means decreased. All these bavo com¬ bined lo make coats higher to the consumer.
While systematic eSorts wlU donbt* less be made to remedy this eslsting shortage and farmers oatslde Ibe great cattle districts will probably tum their attention lu the business to take ad¬ vantage of tbe preseut hlgb prices. It Is geuerally conceded that those prices cannot be materially altered for some tliue to come.
Meanwhile, tbe cattlemen, with de¬ pleted herds, are forced to raise their prices, tbe wholesalers are compelled to follow, and the retailers are hi tam laid under the neceaalty ot lerying luereased tribute upou tbe army of consumers.
In the grocery trade the sitnatlou Is very different, and If any vegeta¬ bles or fruits bave advanced In pric* the increase has beeu directly tracea¬ ble to crop failures, ss in spples and potatoes. Fresh laid eggs aad batter are higher than usnal, but this Waa cxplalued by oue grocerynian as mere¬ ly the annual winter Increaae In price. The marked rise In cold atorag* egga wua the work of "a combination," which, he said, cornered tbis section of Ibu market, aa It bad done, last wiuter. Canoed goods were higher, owing to the rise In the price of tin, but with the exception of oats, pra^- lleally everything else was On a nor- luul basis.
