"One of the difficulties of quail --hooting Iles lu the very fact that would apparently make his killing a taluipio proposition, his rising near the gun." says Charles Askln In Outing. "Let me Illustrate: If a quail rose within ten feet of the gun and contin? ued sailing around the shooter's head at a mlle a minute galt the chances are that be couldn't be killed In tee shots, both the bird and the gun cbaDglug angle with ? rapidity beyond the ability of the mind to calculate In the same way a close sp/.-:-!-lng bird may change bis ancle with regard to the gun so rapidly as to entail"* long nnd accurate swing before he can be covered. The nature of the quail's flight fre? quently m ;loss tlds long swing un? avoidable. The bird may rise to the north, pass to tho west nnd be killed to the south Had lt been possible tn foresee that the bird would swing about to the south before being killed the gun might have been pointed there, rendering unnecessary a complex gun movement, but tuen n tl me the quarry would probably have gone In some Other direction The quail work that calls for care and sk II ls cover shoot In-., -ind the only siifo rule there ls to point your gun ns near the bird as yon can when hp breaks nnd shoot as quickly as you can cc* on." HOUSEHOLD SNAKES. Giboias Aro Used aa Domestlo Rat Catchers In Brazil. In certain parts of Brazil, where the climate ls Intensely hot and where rats nre n grcnt nuisance, the common cat does not thrive, but is replaced by a domestic rat catcher whose presence causes a decidedly unpleasant sensa? tion to visitors from the north when first they come In contact with the creature. Glboins are a species of small boa constrictor employed very generally In Brazil for the purpose above men? tioned. They are not at all venomous. They sleep In the house, generally taking up their position nt the foot of the stairs. When nightfall approaches they begin to wake up. and during the night they slide swiftly about the premises, looking for rats. Giboias are offered for sale In the mnrkets of Bahia and Ternambuco for prices ranging from $1 to $.*>, accord? ing to the sl7.e of the creature. It ls said thnt they are so easily domesti? cated thnt if removed from one bouse to another they Invariably return to the .house whence they have been taken.

They have held their own even with peers of ancient creation A great friend of the Duke of Norfolk who died In 1815?Jockey of Norfolk was nn old squire who always main talned that his name Huddleston wns a corruption of tho Saxon Atbelstan and consequently much more ancient than that of Howard. Like the duke. he was a great toper and at dinner one day rolled off his chair to the floor. The duke ordered a member of his family to raise him up. "Never," hic? cuped the old man?"never shall lt be enid that the head of thc house of Hud dleston was lifted up by a Junior mern ber of the house of Howard."

At flrst sight people thought tbe friendly manner too good to bo true, but Arnold proved true on long trial.

Il Ct>rt>n. xxx, 13 37?Memory V?p???, 18-20?Gold*-* Tsxt, I Sam. xvi, 7?Commentary Prepared by Rev D. M. Stearns. This Hezekiah, whoso name signifies "tho strength of Jehovah," ^vas oue ut the batat kings that reigned tiver the kingdom of Judah In the sixth year nf his reign the kine at Assyria far? ris*! the ten tribes Into captivity, as Wa slinll learn mott fully in next week's lesson (ii Kines xiv. in-rj>. The king of Assyria throntenetl to do to Judah jin ba had ilmie to Israel and wrote a blasphemous letter whirli Hezekiah spread bett-fc *he Lord, nnd he nnd the prophet Isaiah prayed and cried to hen von. and the Lord sent an an ?.-el who smote In one night 186,000 of tho Assyrinn army-(ll Kings xl*. 85; II Chron. -xxxli. H?-21i. ?baa tho father of Hezekiah, had done very wickedly. He worshiped other gods, cut in pieces tlie vessels of tho lionse of God, shut np the doors of the house of the Lord and made him altars In every turner of Jerusalem and In the cities of Judah. Therefore the Lord did brtng-Judnh low because of him ill -.'bron xxvlll. 19-25). Hezekiah In the first month of the first year of his rei1.!! opened the doors of the house of the Lord and repaired them nnd set the priests nnd Larina** at work to cleanse the temple, which they did In sixteen days. Then they offered sin offerings unto the Loni for all Israel, mid burnt offerings, mid thank offerings, anil worshiped Ihe Lord with gladness. "So the service of tho house of the Loni was set In order, nnd Hezekiah rejoiced, nnd all the people, that God hnd prepared the people, for the thing wns done sud? denly" (chapter xxix, 8, 17, 24. 27, SI, SOI. The regular time to keep tbe Pass? over In the first month being past be? cause of the time it took to cleanse the temple, lt was determined to keep lt In the second month, as wns per? mitted In the law (Num. Ix, 0-11). Proclamation was therefore made throughout all Israel from Dan to Beersheba that they should come to keep the Passover unto the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem, for lt was a long time since the feast had been kept iverses 1-5). The last of which we have a record was In the days of Joshua, when at Gilgal they kept lt apoa entering tbs land (Josh, v, 10). Batata that there ls a record of only two Passovers, one In Egypt and one a year later at Sinai. After the time of our lesson WC have only n record Of two more In the Old Testament, the great 1>ne of Joslnh and the OOO in the days of Ezra at the dedication of the temple after tho return from Habylon (II Chron. hit, 18; Ez. vi, 10-22). We can scarcely think that these were the only Pass? overs kept, hut these six are the only ones recorded. If we include the one thnt the Lord Jesus so greatly desired to ket-p with his disciples (Loka xxll), then ve bara a record of Just seven gnat Passovers. Of the lessons for our own souls let ns never forget the words, "When I see the blood I will pass over you." lt was not the blood and something else, but simply and only tho applied blood of the slain lamb that gave safety. See Lev. xvii, ll; Heh. ix, 22; Kev. 1, 5, 0; v, 9, 10; vii, 14; Eph. 1, 7. Mottling can by any menus add to the safety which is ours in Christ Je? sus, but because of it may the Lord ' grant us it great api>etlte for the Lamb, nnd as He lived by the Father may we, eating Him, live by Him (John vi, 57). This call to all Israel to turn to the Lord might truly be spoken of as a last call to the ten tribes, for six years later tbey were carried captive by the king of Assyria. As the posts pnssed from city to city through Ephraim nnd Manasseh, even unto Ze bulun, some laughed them to scorn nnd mocked them, but some humbled themselves and come to Jerusalem (verses Kl, ll). Verse 12 seems to tench that God can bless only those who are willing that He should lay His hand upon them for good. Until He shall conic again In power nnd glory we cannot expect anything different from Acts xxvlil, 24, "Some liolioved, mill some believed not." Wheat and tares will grow together until the end of the ag*. Notwith? standing thc rebellious ones a very great i um I ega tina assembled at Jeru? salem to keep the Passover (verse 1.1). They cleansed the city of ldolators and klhed the Passover and kept the -feast not only for seven days, but so great was their Joy because they had I ni ly turned to tho I*ord and He had so blo***?od them that they kept the feast for n not her seven days. There was greater Joy in Jerusalem than had been since the days of Solomon. H? Bat lab spake comfortably or to the heart of all the Levltes that taught the good knowledge of the Loni (verse 22, ninrgini, and so he was greatly used of God In this revival.
