Mr. Nonby was formerly a valuable employe of the Sturgeon lliver lumber company In Hancock and Channell and bis death cast a gloom over a large circle ot friends in both towns. A cow enlivened a rather dull day in Hancock yesterday for a few minutes. First ebe came up on the sidewalk In front ot George II. Nichols' drugstore, and rearing on its hind legs, settled down with front legs, in a hammock swung from the awninsc frames. The hammock Rave way pretty quick, but Mr. Nichols thinks its being there saved his show window. The bovine then . wandered along to KeDjamin Wieder's store and entered. After letting out a mournful wail, she wandered out again, leaving Mr, Wleder astoniehed at the visit. The new lights to mark the entrance to Portage lliver from Portage Lake are in place. They are described to vesselmen as follows: Each is a fixed white lantern light. The front light is 18 feet above the mean level of the water, and bus pended from a bracket on a mast on a lamp house on the small crib on the east bank of the channel. The rear light is 25 feet above the water, suspended on a mast in front of the lamp bouse on the east bank, COO feet from the front light. Kach has an oval day mark of slats.

Of course we un derstand that magnificent results would follow the economical storage of elec tricity, and we all admit that it would be a great comfort to chase birds through the air with wings as good as their own.

As it is now we lose a little more than we gain, and after awhile the tide ceases to ebb and is sim ply "out" Now, if the poise could be maintained and we could replace what we lose we might live as long as wo pleased, but, better still, we might re new each defective function, and live healthily.

It is far back enough to trace tho mystery of the egg to the; egg and dart pattern, but when we come to study tho history of the Easter egg we engulf our selves in tho remoteness of time. In n poached egg what is the definition of poach? Now, Easter .' and tho Jewish passovcr occur at quite tho same dates, and tho posch egg is the Passovcr egg, and. from that may come the potch, poch," poche, potched or poached egg. The old Aryan myth, so folklorists tell us, finds its revival in early Christian ity's adopting the egg as an emblem of the resurrection. As to the pecking of eggs, and the appropriation of tho bro ken one by the lad possessing the hard er egg, that began as soon as juvenile greed was developed, and the small boy of tho remote period did not differ much from tho one of today. New York Times. Early Mention of Tobacco. The first account in which the tobac co plant was minutely described was sent from Haiti to Peter Martyr in the year 1490400 years ago exactly that by Ilernandei de Oviedo, the man who introduoedtobaoco culture, into Spaia In 1561 Nicot, tho man for whom nico tine, the active principle of tobacco, was named, brought it under the notice of Catherine de' Mcdich to whom he pre sented some plants grown in his own garden from seed brought over from Florida, r Nicot appears to have been the first European to use tobacco as a medicine, proof of which may be found In Arber's reprint of the famous tract issued by King James, and which boro the title of "A Counterblaate to Tobac co."

Previous to this we read that t he Lord had given David rest from all his mouth-; that the Lord prawrved Dnvid wliithtraoever lia went, and that David r.'i;nud over all Israel, ex ecuting judgment and justice unto all his people (rl t Urs vil, 1; vill, C, 14, 13). The Lord L vlnjf shown Ilia loving kind ness to DuvU in promising to make unto him an everlustlug kingdom, David rusts upon tho word of the Lord, and living In peace aoeka to show klndnoaa to all. We saw In tbo last lesson his kindness to Jona than's son, and this chapter begins with a record of his kindness to Hanun, king of Amnion, but the princes of Amnion per suaded ilanun that David meant evil, and not good, so he took David's servant who had come with comfort for him and treated tbem shamefully. David did not take this ingratitude andhumilatlonaa meekly as he had done some others and started Joab and the host of hla mighty men out to punish Amnion. The Ammonite hired helpers and gave David battle. 9-11. "If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me, but If the children of Ammon !e too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee." Thus said Joab, the captain of David's host, to his brother Ablshal, with whom he di vided the army, Joab taking the choice men to contend with the Syrians, and Ablshal taking the rent to fight with the Ammonites, joab and Ablshal wore sons ot David's sinter Zeruiuh (I Chron. 11, 16; II Sam. 11, 18). There were throe sons, but Asahel had been slain by Abner, the captain of Saul's host. 12. "De of good courage and let us play the men for our pooplo and for the cities of our God, and the Lord do that which soometh JUni good." Thus Joab encour aged tho hearts of hla soldiers by remind ing them that they stood for God and for Ills land and people. Compare I Chron. xlx, 13. There is no strength like the knowledgo that we are for God, standing for Him aa Ilia witneanes. Ho gave this encouragement to Joshua, saying, "Be strong and of n good courage; bo not afraid; neither bo thou dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest" (Joshua 1, 0). Nehemlah en couraged his people with theso words: "Da not ye afraid of them; remember the Lord wbluh is great and terrible and fight for your brethren, your sons and your daugh ters, your wives and your houses" (Neh. lv, 14). With a whole hearted trust in God, reliance upon 111m, surrender to Him, with a readiness to do Ills bidding. There muat also be the heart to say, Now let Him do that which seemethllim good. If Ilewill eth apparent defeat for us, it must be well; If He wllleth victory for us, it will be well. Whether He wllleth health or sickness, life or death, all la well that lie wllleth.

"Christ shall be magnified in my body whether by life or by death" (Phil. 1, 20). 13, 14. "They fled before him." Thua did both Syrians and Ammonites before Joab and Ablshal, and Joab returned and came to Jerusalem. It was written con cerning Israel that "one should chase 1,000 and two put 10,000 to flight" "The Lord ehull cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face; they shall como out against thoo one way and flee before thee seven ways" (Deut. xxxli, 80; xxviil, 7). When Israel went forth as the people of God, no armies could stand before them, for God was with them to fight their battles (Deut. 1, SO; ill, 22). When they went In their own strength, they were easily overcome With us now In this present life It must bo a whole hearted reliance upon God either for salva tion or for victory over self and sin; other wlso our enemies will bo too strong for us. But, yielding to and relylugupon Him, we shall sing, "Thanks be unto God, who giv eth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (I Cor. xv, 67). 15, 16. The Syrians, chafing under their defeat, gather others with them and re turn to light with Israel, for tbo spirit of rebellion against God is not easily put down. The spirit that was in Fharaoh and Sennacherib is tho spirit of the devil, who would, if posalble, dethrone God Himself. It shall be fully manifest in the last days in the person of the antichrist, who shall with his armies make war against the Lamb of God and His armies, but the Lamb shall overcome them for He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings (He v. xlx, 19, SO; xvil, 14). The last phaso of It shall be at the end of the thousand years of Christ's personal reign, when tho devil, loosed from the pit, ehall make his last attack upon the people of God (He v. xx, 7-10). Kvery thought or act against God and ills word is a phase of this awful spirit which must finally find its home whore it be longs, with the devil and his angels. 17, 18. David hlmsolf now takes the field and at least 40,700 Syrians aro slain and also the captain of their host. This also Is suggestive of our Lord Himself coming with His armies to overthrow tho enemies of Israel, when the slain shAll be so many that the houso of Israel shall bo soven months burying tho dead (Kzck. xxxix, 12). This same Lord Jesus who lias done and who shall do such great and terrible things for Israel is our Saviour and Lord. Dy His finished work He gives u eternal redemption; because He livas wo shall live who are In Him, and In due tlmo wo shall come with Him when He comes to judge the nations (Col. ill, 4; llev. xlx, 14; Math, xxv, 81). Let us only abide lu His love and we need fear no ovil. "If God bo for us, who can be against us?" 19. "All the kings mado peace with Is rael and served them."
