Introduction—During the past quarter we have Been tlie Lord gradually bring¬ ing abuut Hii purpoKC iii wajs Ihat ure mystenouB and Htrange. .\ nation la raueil u|i in a foreign country, and then with a mightv hand i« delivered from the oppreanor and »tart«d toward the land of proniine. We jhould learn that no event m our live* is unimportant, for great re¬ aulta may apiing from that which in itself ia very ini>ignitica^t.
Irum marv—LeBfon I. Topic: The ein of Joaeiiha brethifn. I'lacea: Jacob lived at Hebron. ,Io»eph wae fold at IJothan. Jacob nenda Joseph to 8hcchein to visit his brelliren; he tindu them at Dothan: us soon ns they see hini they plan to kill him; Itcuben |iersu«de« them not to kill him. but to cast him into a pit; they ait domi to eut nnd ace a company of Ish- maelitcs; they sell Joseph to the lahmael- ites. and send his coat, covered with blood, to their father; .Tacoli mourna gr«»tly.
II. Topic: The dreams of I'hamoh's ofRcera. Place: The capital of Egypt, probably Zoan. Joseph is sold to Poti- phar in Kg)-pt; lives in Potiphar'a houae ten years; is falsely accused by Potiphar'a wife and cast into prison; the Ijord ia with hiin and gives him favor with his keeper; the king's butler and baker are sent to the_ same prison; .loseph Ber\'C8 them; they etch have a dream nnd are sad; Juseph interprets their dreams, and asks the butler to remember him.
III. Topic: Kidelity rewarded. Place: Zoan. Pharnuh has two dreams that trouble him; his wise men are not able to interpret them; the butler then remem¬ bers Joseph; he is called; the king tells his dreams; there were to be seven years of plenty and then seven ycnr.i of famine; Pharaoh chooses Joseph to buy uii the com during these years of lilenty; .Io is ni.ide ruler uver the land; J name is chancted; he marries Ae Josepb goes ih.-ougli the land and gathers great quantities of com.
I\'. Topic: .foseph forgiving hia breth¬ ren. Place: Zoan. The famine reaches Canaan and Jacob sends his suns to Kgypt to buy_ corn; Joseph recognizes them; keeps Sinuoii in prison; they return a sec- oikI time with Henianiin: Joseph "could not refrain himself; ' sends the Kgyptians from tho room; makes himself known; "wept aloud" and "kissed all his breth¬ ren; asks concerning his father; tells tliem they must come to Egypt; offers to give them the land oi IJosben.
V. Topic: .Toseph's lust days. Place: Goshen. .lo.seph sends prceiits to his father; Jacob and his sons go to Egy|it; .loscph meets them and weeps on his fath¬ er's neck; .Tosepll then introduces his father to Ph.iraoh; Jacob blesses his'sonc; .Jacob dies and is buried in the cave with Abraham and Isaac; Joseph's brethren ngain ask fortiiveneea; Joseph forgives tliem; .Toseph, trains his children well; Joscj.h dies and is embalmed.
VI. Topic: The aHliclions of God's peo¬ ple. I'lace: (iosheii. (Jo.l greatly pros¬ pered the Hebrews and they Iwcanie nu¬ merous; the new king ol Kuypt oppressed them greatly; they were nindo tu serve with rigor; taskmasters were set oicr thcMi to niHict them with heavy liuiden':; Ihey built I'ithom and lUamscs; cheir lives were made bitter, but the more Ihey were opnresscd tlu* more God pro-perctl tliem.
VII. Topic: ftod prcKciviii- Mi^rs. Place: Zonii. Moses's parents, Ainrafi nnd -Tociiebed, were of the huuse of Levi; Moses was a goodly child nnd waa hid three months by his mother; an ark was then made; the child was put in the river; the king's daughter went tu bathe and saw the child; Moses's sister Miriam is toM to call a nurse; she calls her mother; ;ifter the chihl wus grown he became the son of Pharaoh's daughter; she called his name Xfose.4.
vm. Topic: The woes of intemperance. Israel is compared to a vir.cvard: the I.A)rd looked for good grapes, but it brought forth wild grajies; some of their evil deeds are here enumerated; woes ;ire pronounced upon the covetous—those who 'join house to house;" also upon the drunkards who regard not God; because of this the people are to be carried into captivity; their ruin will be complete and unavoidable; thev arc to be destiuved like chaff before the iirc.
IX. Topic: God calling Muses to deliver I-niel. Place: In the laii.l of Midian. Moses decided to Unyo ririr.udi's cuirt and join himself t.i the people of God: ha killed a man and lied to .-Vri'liia; he mar¬ ried Zippurah: tended his fiither-in law's sheep; wben in the desert. I'.ear Iloreb, Oud spoke to him from the burning Inish; told him lo put off his shoes; naid lie was about to deliver Isincl: called Misea to lead Ihcm out of F^ypL and promised to be with him.
X. Topic; The last pLigue Ihrcatened. I'lace: Goshen. M,«s lliuuglil hc was not able to deliver Israel, but (jud sent .\aron tn assist him. Xine plagues were broiij^ht —blood, frogs, lice, flies, murrain, boils, hail, locusts, darkness—and still Pharaoh refused. One more iilagiie was to bo brought and then tliey would be thrust uut. .Ml the first born in the land were lo be slain; there w.iuld be a treat crv. but among the Hebrews all ivould be safe.
XI. Topic: Prcp.Tiing for the exodus. Place: Goshen. The Lord gave minute in¬ structions to Moses and Anion. Each He¬ brew family was to take a lamb and kill it in the evening and sprinkle the blood on the lintel and the two side posts; the Iamb was to be roa..<ted and all eaten; they were to eat in haste, prepared to leave at any nioniciit; the blood wonld protect them. Thev were finallv thrust out. and Pharaoh fnllowed them to the Heil Sci. wliere his host was drowned.
XM. Topi.: The Prince of Peace. Place- .leru^alcin. The prophet promised that a great light shouM lonie to the peo¬ ple. This light was Christ, the world's Re¬ deemer. He has come anil bas established a governmenf of peace. It is to continue ¦   s destined tu (ill tho whole

He ahamblea by each sunny aftemoon; | Hia portly form is shrunken aa a spectre
Hia face is vacant aa the morning moon; j Quaffed is his nectar.
Out of hia eves the dancing light ia gone;   I Out  of  hfs  blood   the  wanton   warmth tbat thrilled it; j
Out of bis air the charm that conque&ta won When fancy willed it.
Proud was his port and tasty his array; Hie days and nights o'crflowed with sung and laughter; He never dreamed that these would pass away And this come after.
He courted pleasure and secured it still;
He   asked   for   friends,   and   loves,   and these were given; He craved all worldlv good and had his fill;
He sought not heaven.
His friends have vanished never to return; Hia pleasures, treasures, all his heart's

For   him   the   eventime   has   brought   no light; Ita sighing breezes pity as they kiss him; The dark will bear dim to the wastea of night; Earth will not misa him.
Alas, the life that has no upw.ird look, \o sacrifice of self, no high endeavor;
Its taste becoming like the seer's book. Bitter forever!
—Edward  \.   Pomeroy.  in  Boston   Tran¬ script.
POR years ho had been a famll- lar flgiiri' In Iho nolfrhbor- hooil. Evoryliody oallod him JIni, and. unlii tbo ovout wblch wo are abont to rolnto occurred, doubled If ho possossod nny otbor nanio. Twlco a wook. on Wodiiosday and Saturday ninriilHes, ho made Ills round witb a atop-stuiii' nud proooeded to uiako the front doscont to oaoh clwelllnK shluo with d:iKzlinR whlto- Doss. Jlin know his busluos.s and glo¬ ried In if. but no effort of bis or any one clso's could raise bini a stop higher thau tbo top ono ot Ibo lllght. Ho had tried tu wash windows on tbo earnest outroaty of Mrs. Junes and Mrs. Smith, who thou^'bt any wurk about Hhould be child's play for ii groat, ablo-bodlod man. But It didn't agree with hlni. aud ho wont bade tu his stops with ronowod vigur and pride. His whole reason for liolns; seetued to be oontrod In those slops. snd it cost blui many a pauj; to soo tho tlrst black footprint mar tliclr pur¬ ity. Tliore was, however, another olijeol
to hare yon hack a);atn. Why. suoh a time ns I've had! Sny. Jim. you haven't hnd your breakfast, havo you? You Just pu out and pull those woods out of the tomato bed nnd I'll havo It rendy In a JltTy. llow much did you say you got, Jim? Ten thousand dol¬ lars? That's a jirotty Utile sum. Jim. A p:'ctty little sum."
And that's Iho way It liapponeil. In less thnn a week Miss Capon had Jim arrayed from bead to heels In new np- parel and tboy bad taken a trip to St. Joe and got   'splieed." a.s Jim put it.
"She" thought It rnther bonoatli tho dignity of Ibo husband of Miss ('n|ion and tho possessor of $10,000 to clean the front stops, but blood will toll, and one morning sho was awakened with Iho sound of serubliing In bor oars. Sbo crept to tho window. Thore was Jaines Cnrrlngtun Poyle. possessor of n lognry of $10,000 nnd husband of Mrs. James Carrington Doyle, owner of a bouse and lot. down on his knees with a pall of water and a step-stone wnshing the nsoont to the front door of the family mansion as white ns tbe fallen snow. He looked up as she opened the window.
'I'm glttin' It done before fhe neigh¬ bors aro lip." was all he said —O. E. Corbett. In the Chicago nocord-IIernld.

In Jim's life, and Ibat object lived on the street bark of nil the Hue folk whose entrnnies wKro kept su Inimaon late. Wliatever roniamo may have been his lu the pnst tboro was no ovi denoe of It nnw. No lookit eniasod photograph lay next his heart never In be parted wllh In Ihis life.

"She." sllll enjoymg the com forts and delights of single bles.sed- ness, lived all iilune in Ihe hnnse, pos¬ sessed nf Just enough Inioine to prn- vlde Ihc nooossiiies and a few of tho luxuries of life. How Jim over dared aspire to bor Is n mystory. Hut sunn- faint glimmer nf fnriner rospoelabllliy combined wllh Ibo Iniiglug to bo com¬ fortably settled urged him on.
"Her" steps wore cleaned oftener thnn twice a week, and thoy were al ways spotless, for she bad some nf tho proponslilos of nld .Sunt lictsy Trntwnod. and at tbe lirst click of Ibo gate could be hoard, nut the cry "Donkeys, Janet; donkeys;" but Ibo sharp admnnlllun.

HARMFUL   TO   CHILDREN.
WhT a Keoctlon lios  let In Acmlnat tho Sensntlonnl Newspaper.
In an editorial on "The New Pace for Chlldrou." the editor of tbe Ceu- tury deplores the effect ou childish minds ot tbo too early readiug of newspai>ors, especially those that are ruu for revenue only.
It Is a deplorable fact that of late years, for lack of support, a number of exoellent lungazinus for children bnvo boon discontinued—lu the latest Instance with tbe frank siatemenl that the vogue of the newspaper had short¬ ened tbe term of childhood so greatly as to make It Impossible to sustain such a magazine, the proprietors say¬ ing. In effect, that boya aud girls. In the old sense of an audience for Juven¬ ile periodical literature, exists no long¬ er. The fault, perhnps, is not with the child, uor with the editor, but witu the busy parent of these latter years; for tbe newspapor-readlug child Is the pro¬ duct of tho last decade. The boy of tou or twelve, nt the age wheu ho ought to bo acquiring a taste for good llterniuro. Is too ofteu left to the eiilio- luornl contents of Ibe illuslrated uews¬ paper. Even wheu the newspaper Is a good one be Is being starllod from the repnse of his prnper age. He Is mado a man before his time. lie Is nllnwed to share the rapid pace at which moil¬ eru life Is set.    Not for him should be

Th» Qrowth of I'rbon Population ¦ Taat. urr of ClTlllmtlon tho Tforia Ovor, rolls For firlonllflr Action—RoprOHlna NolM U * Uinrult Problem.
Tbo worldwide tendency of popula¬ tion lo ceutre In towns at tho expense of tho purely rural districts Is dls- cr.ssed from a medical point of view by a writer In Ihe Medical Hoeord, who says:
"Into Ihe reasous for this wholesale desertion ot tho country this Is no Iilace to enter, uor Is tbere neeil for discussion ns to whether this move¬ ment Is for good or e-vll. SufHce it to say Ihat It Is so. Ibe reason must be ac¬ cepted, and It ouly remains for physi¬ cians, santtnrlnns and philauthroplsts to endeavor to render the conditions ot life lu cities and towns as morally and physically healthful as possible.
"Tbe flrst necessity of any area crowded with human lielngs Is that It sbould be above suspicion from the standpoint of hygiene—Ihnt is, drain¬ age should be efTedlve, water supply plentiful and pure. and. In short, that all sanitary arrangomeuts should be conceived nnd carried out with the sole view of safeguarding the lives and health of the populatlnu.
'Tnr many years now. In the moat eullgbloned countries of the earth, men of light nnd learning hnvo been slowly but surely arriving nt the truth thnt the municipal problem Is tbe ono de¬ serving the closest attention, and for a nation chiefly dwelling In cllles the uocosslty is obvious Ihat these cities must be made healthful places ot :ibodo. It this bo not done the rnce will rapidly deteriorate physically, nnd be unable lo eoinpeto on oijual terms with tbe liibabltnnts ot countries who live under a more Intelligent sanitary rule. Thus earnest nnd sensible ro- I'ormers have been bending Ihelr ener¬ gies townrd converting large centres ot population into comparatively salu¬ brious places of residence.
"Mr. C. M. Hoblnson bas lately pub¬ lished n book In this country ou tho Imprnvenieut ot cities aud towns, In which be sets forth a mass nf statistics ind details concerning the subject. The book lu question. Avblle It does not neglect to Insist upon tho paramount linportani'e of hygiene, gives mucb space to advocating tho oultlvntlon nf the beautiful In the construction and arrangement ot cities."
The writer aptly points ont thnt In most countries of tho European contl- iieiii rigid laws nre enforced lo prevent •¦onlractors and builders from offend¬ ing too grossly agnlnsl the nesthetic '¦case. Paris, perhaps the mnst artis¬ tic city of the world, was rendered so by Ihe efforts of Napoleon III., ably seconded by Baron Ilnusmnnu. Mod¬ ern Rorlln bas been to n great extent rebuilt and greatly boautlfted by the Kaiser. London, though Its buildings aro. as n rule, Incougruous to a degree, wilhlu recent years has beeu refur¬ bished aud brought somewhat Into line with the Ideas of modern progress Ihiough the public spirited actinn nf the civic authorities, while some ot the other Inrge cities of C.ront Hrltain aro models ot how such places should bo managed. Many ot the cities of this cnuntry are on n par with, or eveu su¬ perior lo tholr European rivals, and It Is evldonoe Ihat throughout Ibe world tho donilnnilng note In municipal re¬ form Is to make the conditions ot olty life desirablo from a physical, moral and acsthellc point ot view.
Tbo most diflicult problem with which to deal lu cllles and towns Is bow to repress noise. In American cllles this feature Is even more preva¬ lent than lu Europe, nnd constltnles the most serious objection to living nmnng the "mndding crowd." It slmuld, bnwovor. be clearly uiidor- siood that many of the numerous aud varied noises which sbalter the nerves and shorten the lives of tho liihnblt- Miits of towns are altogether unneces¬ sary, nnd could be promiitly ended If a strong stand were made agalnsi their conlliiuaiice.
With tbe abnllilon of needless noises and with the various im|iroveinents which have beeu suggested put Into force, city life will have been robbed of many of Us terrors, nnd may lu time become tho Ideal place ot resi¬ dence. There Is, nevertheless, mnch to be doue to bring this Elyslan dream to pass.

The explosion occurnHl In one of Ihe big blast furnaces. Tho men were at Work nt the tup of the furnace, over V20 feet from the ground. They were employed as flllors. and were Just get flng ready to quit work, being mem bers of tbe night crow, when tbe gas, wblch bad accumulateil In the furnace, exploded, and Ions of roolten metal, cinders and slag were thrown over them.
When the gas let go n panic ensuetl on the platform aliove the top. All the men hnd made a rush for the ele¬ vator, but ll bad gone down, nnd Ihere was no esca|»\ To Jump lueant death, aud to remain on the platform was Just as n'rtnin deatb.
Tous of thol'ten metal and flaines fell upon Ihem nnd burniHl nine to death. Tholr bodfes droppiil to the roof of the mill, elghly-flve feet below, an un¬ recognizable mass.
Thomas Jones and Arthur Y'oung. mnnngers of the plant, sny Ihnt ordi¬ narily ouly tbri-c work ou top of the furnace, but one ot the heavy Irou wagons used lu taking ore to tbe top of the furnace got stuck uud Ibe three men sent for asslatanoe. A few men went up. but Ihey eould not move Ihe ¦nagon, nnd more Went up. until Ihe numlier reached tonrteen. It was while they were trying to release the wagon that Ihe explosion took place. All the men were Slavs nnd Poles.
Eye witnesses of the aceklent sny that ¦n'hen the explosion look place thore waa ono loud report nnd Ihe heavens were Illuminated with a great sheet of flnine. showing fhe men on top of the furnace running ahout, gestlctt- Iatlug wildly. The flamea and hot met¬ al looked like a volcano In notion. Five of Ihe men were blown off tho top of the furnace, and, strnnge aa It may seem, those men are the ones that are still living. Tbe others hung on the railing, some on Ihe outside, others on Ihe Inside, until their clotU- lug waa burned off. Two of fhe vic¬ tims hanging on Ihe outside held on and remained dinging to the railing until Ihelr angers were liurncd off. They theu fell to Iho roof of the mill, deaii. Several ot the men were found dend on Ihe plnttorm of the cupola. These wore completely denuded of clothes by Ihe flames, nnd their bodies were burned almost to ft crisp.
Hundreds ot pedestrians hnd nar¬ row escapes from death. Tona of ore, eoki and hot cinders, some pieces weighing almost three pounds, rained down on the street, nnd many had to run Into houaea and stores for protcc- toctlon.
People living near Ihe fnmao<> nnd for blocks on either aide were badly scared. They rushed from their homes, nnd a few minutes after Ihe report had aonnded thousands of persons gathered about the furnace.
It Is said Ihat the explosion was cnuaed by a "slip" In the furnace.
