tumorous Department. Jim Webster's Hopes.?Jim Webster has been owing a prominent citizen \ of Austin $7 for some harness, these j many months. The white man lost patience at last, and said to Jim : j "You have promised to pay me that ? little bill half a dozen times; but you ] have never done it yet. It looks to me as if you were trying to beat me t out of it." ^ "Don't say dat, boss. I'se embar- . rased jess now; but I'se hones' indeed I is. Hit's dat what's keeping me back."

A Deceptive Negro.?Uncle Jason 1 was summoned to appear, before court ? to cive testimouv in a case in which it 1 O w was to his interest to be identified. c When the time for the trial came, says Texas Sidings, Jason sent the following note to the judge: s "Can't come, sah. I'se lyin' in bed v wid a broken hip." 8 The next day a deputy sheriff saw 8 Uncle Jason on the street. 1 "You trifling rascal," said the judge, "I ought to send you to the peniten- c tiary." y "What fur, judge?" E "For lying to this court." 1 "I didn't lie to the cou't." r "You. did. Said that you were lying in bed with a broken hip." 5 "I wuz, judge." "How did you get well so quick ?" 1 "Oh, dar wan't not bin' de matter *' wid me." c "Then you have lied to the court." "No, sah, I hain't.

De white folks f doan understan' er thing 'till airter it s i 'splained, but den dey see it wid er mighty bright eye." a Captain V?, a brave and generous frontiersman, was the father of two charming girls, the eldest of whom was engaged to a gallaut young Texas ranger. The day appointed for the wedding dawned, "and all went happy" up to noon, when the bride elect avowed her determination not to marry, as she loved another man. This was a happy turn in affairs, as the jilted young man soon found that he loved her sister best, who also loved him in return ; but when he came to ask her father's consent things began to grow embarrassing, as it reminded him that be had once performed this unpleasant duty, and then the old man did not seem over-willing to confide the other daughter to his keeping. So, plucking up all his courage, be hastily and excitedly implored Captain V? to sanction the union. "Take ber," was the brief reply, and if she goes back on you, I will make the old woman marry you." ISF" Mrs. Samuelson sent her colored servant to a neighbor, Mrs. Peter Shinksky, to request the loan of a morning paper. "Tell Mrs. Samuelsou." was the reply, "that I never allow the paper to go out of the house; she can come over here and read the paper if she sees proper." Mrs. Samuelson was very much displeased at this message ; but she did not show any sign of resentment. A few days afterward Mrs. Peter Skinksky sent her servant over to Mrs. Samelson to ask her for the loan of an axe to chop some wood. Tell Mrs. Peter Skinksky that I never allow the axe to go out of the yard, and that she can bring her wood over here if she wants to chop it up." I@~ln an Indianapolis church, theL reading platform is adorned by a remarkably beautiful pulpit, which is almost the "graven imags" in the eyes of the association of church women who earned and purchased the pulpit furnishings. Recently a new minister came into charge of the congregation. He was a little fellow, and one day casually remarked to one of his feminine church members: "Miss Badger, that pulpitis entirely too high for me ; . I think it had better be cut down a trifle." Cut down ?" the horrified woman exclaimed, "cut that pulpit down. No, indeed ; it would ruin it; it would be much easier to get a taller preacher."

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. r i ccanw viii fiPfinND QUARTER. INTER NATIONAL SERIES, MAY 24. Text of the Lesson, Luke xx, 9-19?Hem| orj Tenet, 18-16?Golden Text, Lake xx, 17?Commentary by the Rer. D. 8L Stearns. * 3 0. "A certain man pinntod a vineyard I and let it forth to husbandmen and went into a far country for a long time." OUr last lesson seemed to have a special referf enco to the present age or the timo be. tween Israel's rejection of their King and 3 His return to take the kingdom. This parable seems rather to cover the whole . history of Israel, inoluding thoir treatment ' of the prophets and their rejection of the King. 5 10-18. This aooount of the treatment of r His servants will cover the whole period of the prophets. The fruit He desired was . rightoousnoss, and that Israel should make I Him a name among the nations of the earth, that all nations might know Him for their good. But read the story in Isa. v, 7-25, and in Ezek. xlii, and see what they gave Him instead of rightoousnoss. As 3 to their beating and shamefully treating the servants, just listen to a few testl' monies: "Asa was wroth with the seer and put him in a prison house." "ZedewtAw naa? and omnffl MlnAinh nnnn &iau uoujd uuii uuu 4U.WV..W.. ?.r>? the cheek." "And they oonspired against I him (Zeohariah) and stoned him with f stones at the commandment of the king ; in the oourt of the house of the Lord." I "Then Pashur smote Jeremiah, the prophet, and pat him in the stocks." "Then took they Jeremiah and cost him 5 into the dungeon" (II Chron. xvi, 10; , xvlll, 28; xxiv, 21; Jer. xx, 2; xxxvlii, 0). . No wonder that James by the Spirit writes, } "Take my brethren, the prophots who , have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction and of . patience (Jas. v, 10). The Lord is now ' looking for the fruit of the Spirit in those who have become brandies in Him who i is the True Vine, and through whom He i desires to bear much fruit to the glory of , God. Does He find it? If not, why ? Let each answer for himself unto the Lord. , 18. "Then said the lord of the vineyard: What shall I do? I will send my be5 loved son. It may be they will reverence him when they see him." In Isa. v, 4, " He asks, What could have boen dono more i to My vineyard that I have not done in it? And here at a much farther stage He ^ asks, What shall I do? Then determines I to send His Boloved Son, not to punish, as well He might, but to save and bless } even suoh rebellious ones. God, who once > spoke by the prophetB, hath at last spoken f by His Beloved Son, to whom He gave this title both at His baptism and at His ^ transfiguration. Behold whut manner of ! love, what long suffering, what forbear1 ance, what yearning ovor the erring and ' rebellious ones Hear Him, evon through 1 the prophets: "How shall I give thee up, KphraimP How shall I deliver thoe, Israel? i (Hos. zi, 8.) 14. "This is the heir; oomo let us kill ? him, that tbe inheritance may bo ours." 1 Joseph's brethren said: "This dreamer 1 cometh. Come now, therefore, and let as slay him and cast him into some pit" , (Gen. xxxvU, 19, 20). It seems impossible [ that human nature could bo guilty of thd baseness of Joseph's brethren, and of the brethren of cur Lord, tho Jews, who treated Him as He here desorlbes. Think of i men enjoying property that oost them ' nothing, then of tholr refusing to thank - the owner by rendering him some fruit, 1 then of tholr actually oonspirlng to kill j the owner and take the property Into their t, own bands. 15. "So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What, therefore, shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?" Our Lord describes what He 3 knew they would actually do, for He bad 3 often foretold it. What an illustration of s the foot that the carnal mind Is enmity ? against God. But, believer, let us apply " It; let us see ourselves in this awful pio1 ture. The Lord Jesus has bought us for ' His peculiar property that He may be glorified in us. Now, is He enthroned in 1 the heart that He has bought for Himself, r or is He as good as cast out? Lest we be . as guilty or more guilty than tbe Jews, ^ let us give Him obeorfully tho whole being for His pleasure (Bom. xil, 1, 2). 1 16. "He shall come and destroy these 3 husbandmen and shall give tho vineyard r to otners." in Matn. xxi, to, tne woras are, "The kingdom of God shall be taken . from you and given to a nation bringing forth the frnits thereof." Israel, having failed to receive her King, has been for the ' present set aside as a nation, while God la " gathering out of all nations a people for r His name who shall be joined to Christ 3 and return with Him when He shall come In glory for the restoration of Israel and L of all things spoken by the prophets. The great question for the church and for every r individual believer is, Am 1 bearing fruit r unto God? I 17. "What is this, then, that is written, 1 the stone which the builders rejected, the . same is become the head of the corner?" t, This is from Ps. oxvlii, 22, and points to I the time when the nation shall say, "Blessed be He that cometh in the name of the Lord" (Math, xxlii, 89; Ps. cxvill, * 26). "It shall bo said in that day: Lo, this i is our God I Wo have waited for Him, and f He will save us. This is the Lord. We > have waited for Him. Wo will be glad and rejoice in His salvation" (Isa. xxv, 9). ' Our Lord was always calling attention to what was written. He had implicit con" fldonoo in the Scriptures. He always ap* pealed to them. He made people answer their own questions by His. "What la I written? How readost thou?" 18. "Whosoever shall fall upon that . stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall it will grind him to powder." This takes us back to Isa. vili, 14, 15, ' where we read that He shall be to 6omo a * sanctuary, but to others a stone of stum3 bling and a rock of offonso. In Isa. xxviil, ? 16, we read that Ho is a suro and tried ) foundation stone as well as a prooious cornor. The whole is summed up in I Pet. s li, 4-8. The grinding to powdor probably refers to Dan. ii, 85, and tho tiino of His 3 coming to judge the nations. Ho is now i5 a place of rcfugo and a suro foundation to 3 all who recoivo Him. He is a rook of of. fense to all who will not have Him, but Wo onmno \ n olni?ir Hn will flUTolV j " ? o---J crush all His enemies. 19. "Andthechiofpriostsand thoscribes ? the same hour sought to lay hands on i Him." They had long before determined t to kill Him, but now their hour Is draw, ing nigh, and yot they cannot lay a finger . on Him until God's appointed time. Then He will lot them tako Him, thnt tholr wicked hands may accomplish that which f the counsel of God determined bofore to - be done (Acts iv, 27, 28). Not even satan r himsolf can touch a child of God without God's permission, and there must be a needs be for all that comes to every child of God (Ezek. xiv, 28.) f t8T The Venezuelan Commission is i proceeding in a very deliberate way i and will probably not be ready to make 1 a report before next December; bu! ; meanwhile, it will be observed, Eng t land is carefully pursuing a policy oi e inactivity in the case, and so there is no reason for haste on our part. Jam aud Jiwsiik ; < HOG AND HOMINY. 1 Mr. Silas Yonce, of Aiken, S. C., in 1 1867, went into the pine woods with a 1 wife and three children. He had but one plow and planted only corn and potatoes, raised a few hogs and chick- 1 ens any had a cow or two. There was 1 a neighbor who ran 12 plows, and ' raised nothing but cotton, and bought < all of bis provisions. That neighbor would go out and sit on the stump of 1 a tree and watch him plowing and tell J him that he would starve if he planted : only corn. His answer would be, ( "You will see." He kept on planting corn and raising provisions. Soon he 1 increased his force, planted more corn, raieed more hogs and cattle, and after 1 awhile raised a little cotton, which ] was clear gain, for be bad nothing to buy but sugar, tea, coffee and flour? he miule all else on bis pine wood ( farm.' Time went on: his neighbor kept o planting only cotton and buying everything else, and in 12 years Mr. Yonce brought him out, for he had totally failed. Mr. Yonce paid 1 $3,500 cash and four years' credit for the $400, which he paid in time. He has bought other land. Has raised seven children and two sons are married and settled on their i places, each son as well off as his father. He owes no man a dollar, has a well-stocked farm, plenty of provisions and some few bales of cotton just for ready money; but he and his sons, from 1867 till now, never induced by high prices or distressed by low prices of cotton, have kept on this one policy of getting all the provisions out of the land that it can produce and raising all and more meat than his family needed. Intensive Farming.?Edwin Harper, of Kingstree, ti. C., last year, made 5,000 pounds of lint cotton on eight acres?a bale and a quarter per acre. W. J. Williams, of Marion county, S. C., in 1895, sold his crop or tobacco fwsvm 03 onuuQ fnr 4871 AT flfc thfc IIUUI 4^4 ttVI VO iVi v. ?? rate of $318 per acre. E. E. McGill, of Darlington, S. C., last year made 1,486 pounds of tobacco on one acre, at a cost for cultivating and gatheriug of $35. He realized net $262.29. J. E. Brockinglon, ofKingstree, 8. C., last year, made 1,750 pounds of tobacco on one acre, which be sold for $326. He then sowed rutabaga turnips on ibe acre, and gathered 200 bushels, worth $80. The cost of production of these crops was $45, having a net profit of $361. In 1895, Mr. Jerry Guin, of Possie, Ga, had 75 acres in crops, aud produced 21 bales of cotton, plenty of corn and fodder, corn to sell, peas, oats, potatoes, peaches, apples, butter, eggs, etc. Mr. Guin lives at home and can't see economy of sending money out of the county for products that grow here easily on a par with the production of any soil or clime. Cutting Orchard Grass and Clover.?Clover aud- orchard gr&-8 will be ready for the mower by the end of May. Cut after the dew is off and cock up the same evening all that is mowed before 1 o'clock. After bay . It II. - J I. -1 1J ..b. . 18 Weil WllWiU lb SUULI1U UGVC1 Ulivo 1/uc dew. The above applies more especially to that cut with a mower. Spread out in a uniform layer, not in swaths, like that band cut, it dries very rapidly on a bright day. If hand cut and the swaths are very heavy, the cocking may be deferred to the afternoon of the next day; but if this is done, it is better to turn the swaths over in the evening and let the undried bottom portions take the dew. Both grass and clover make a better quality of bay if cut rather early ; the quantity, however, will be rather less. When a fourth of the heads turn brown is probably the best time to cut clover; when in full bloom the time to cut grass. As soon as the mown clover begins a new growth, topdress it with 100 pounds of plaster to the adre. Importance of Forage Crops.? Do not, while giving attention to the preparation of the land required for the corn, cotton and tobacco crops, look over the important forage crops required to meet the needs of the live stock. Too often the only preparation 5 it maae 10 meet me cans ui tuc auiuiais has been the fodder from the corn crop. This is not sufficient provision for their wants. Then, very truly remarks The Southern Planter, there should be a field of sorghum, cow peas or soja beans ready to be cut and fed to the stock, and this should be fed freely. The cows, hogs, sheep and horses will pay for it in the improved returns and better condition in which they will come on to their fall and winter feed. Without such a help, stock are very apt to lose in July and August what they have gained in May and June. What to Feed.?Sunflower seed, it is well known, is a good egg producing food for chickens; it is also a fine food to give the plumage a glossy appear ance for exhibition purposes. The Russiau sunHower is very productive and may be planted in fence corners or out of the way places. When flesh is the desirable object to be attained, feed the grains which contain the elements that make fat. Indian corn contains 7 per cent, of fat producing elements, while oats contain only 6 per cent. But if a thrifty condition is most desirable, feed largely with oats, because oats contain 2 per cent, more of the albuminoids, or muscle producing elements than corn. Wheat bran and skim milk ure each chemically considered quite close in resemblance to the white of the egg, which fact suggests their use in the food of laying hens. Lice.?If chickens trail their wings or became droopy, look for lice. Nine cases out of 10 they are the cause. If your little chicks get troubled with lice, dip your finger in kerosene oil s and rub it on the top of their heads. ( Tobacco leaves, or tobacco in most any > form, placed in the bottom of the nest l of a sitting hen keeps the lice away. A . remedy for a lice infested henhouse is f burning sulphur in it. The house ) must be tight and all ventilators closed ; then put a pound of sulphur 3D some live coals and close the door I / tightly, and leave it closed for an hour I I 3r more. When whitewashing the I 1 lienhouse, if lice are troublesome, add Ln \ i little carbolic acid to the white . wash. IV Hatching Hints.?When two hens ire hatching at the same time, put all nni the chicks as they batch under one JL * ben and the unhatched eggs under the -v-rw Dther. N t. Keep the sitters shut in until late in In seh the day; this will prevent other bens have t from making use of their nests for lay- ^an ing, and thereby save much risk to the instru eggs. open t If a hen deserts her nest, don't r.hrnw the fiffcs awav. Put them in " " w " "DO~ " V " ? warm water for five minutes, dry them with a rag, wrap in woolen and set by the stove and hunt another broody hen. With care the eggs will wait for two or three days if not badly chilled. H Composition op Eggs.?In 100 parts of the yolk, 52 per cent is water, 45 per cent, is oil and fat, and 1 per cent, each of albuminoids, coloring and mineral matter. In 100 parts of the white of an egg, about 84 per cent, is FOl water, 12} per cent, albumen, 1 per toE?1I cent, mineral matter and 2} per cent. Wpoj sugar, etc. The shell of an egg con dish-t tains about 50 grains of salt and lime.
