"An*l what does this all mean to you/ she demanded, abruptly. "I hardly know how to answer, moth er." he said, slowly, "save that I am eager to know God's plans for His pco pie, and am trying to be willing to fol low Him. cost wlmt it may." "But admitting the truth of all that Ammihud has revealed, what is there that need be so disconcerting to thee? Need it change one whit your plans or your hopes as an Egyptian prince? As king may it not be that thou art to lead thy armies to the conquest of Canaan? and may it not be thy pleasure to settle there thy delivered people? and was it not to be expected that Joseph should choose final resting place with Abraham, and Isaac and Jacob in Canaan? and as to the time being near at hand, do we not know that the king is growing old and feeble and that at no distant day thy opportunity will come?" Thermutis spoke with intense earn estness. and Moses felt her eyes upon him. but he dared not look up. He did not feel that he could trust himself to enter into her plans for him then. Her plea was certainly plausible, and the temptation was strong to follow her brilliant scheme, but he was conscious that it was God rather than hismothei he must follow.

The New Ruler of Norway Passed Through Some Rough Experiences. let was con as Norway's new king was once an ap prentice in the Danish navy. In the mess to which he belonged he was called by his first name—that is. Karl in Danish—and he had to eat the same "grub" and stand the same hardships as all the other apprentices. Although everybody knew him to be a prince of the realm no deference whatever was paid to him as such. On the contrary, In* was "hazed" and made miserable in good old midshipman style. He took his medicine bravely enough. On board ship he had to mend his own clothes, darn his sue In, sew on buttons and keep his weapons and accouter ments in order. He slept in a regula tion sailor hammock. with his clothes rolled up under his head for a pillow, without a nightshirt and wearing only a sailor's woolen striped undershirt and bundled up in a woolen blanket, sometimes with bis sea boots dangling by the hammock rope. He used to make the big brass binnacle flash like silver mail. He could never quite get. used to chewing tobacco, which in the eyes of every true apprentice is ; of the cardinal virtues, and when- j ever he was seasick, which often hap pened, he used to sit in the gangway on a bucket and chew rye bread. for fur at his she with pal he the the title the of GOT JUST WHAT HE WANTED gay But the Obstinate Customer Re lented When He Got Home. That things are not always what they seem was discovered by the patrons of a delicatessen store in a somewhat painful manner, relates the New York Globe. Desiring some sausages, the nounced streak of obstinacy make-up, entered the place and asked for some "just like those in the win dow." of man, who has a pro in his L. "I 's very sorry, but we haven't any of that kind in stock just now," said the delicatessi man. "What's the matter with those in the window?" asked the customer. The delicatessen man started to say thing about the sausages in the window not being just like the reg ular kind, but bis apparent unwilling ness aroused the ire of the customer, who began to insist that the sausages in the window lie taken down at once and sold to him. Possibly he did not notice the smile of the delicatessen man as his request was complied with. If he did, lie learned its meaning when his wife opened the package in the Kitchen and discovered the sausages were made for window display solely and consisted of plaster of paris neat ly painted. of his the , ' PHONOGRAPHS IN SCIENCE.

The One of the oddest collections in the British museum is a set of talking ma chin ? cords of the voices of promi nent persons of the present, not offered for general inspection, but a hundred years hence the historian They arc amv describe to his readers how Queen sounded to him, as we'l as the voices of the other mem ber« of tlie royal family and the lead ing statesmen of to-day. In all there are already filed away more than 500 records. The collection is being added to constantly. Th-» Vienna Academy of Sciences al ready possesses a collection of several thousand records of dialects and lan guages. They include the songs of the American Indian and the war chant of the Malay. Idioms and peculiarities also recorded, and the collection will not be regarded as complete until every race and division of race ha? contributed to the collection. In addition to their value in the fu ture, they are being used for a com parative study of language.

It is computed that farm properties in the ll states that once seceded from the union have risen in value more than $1,000,000,000 in two years. The average yield of these lands since this century began is $200. 000,000 a year greater than it was in the preceding six years. Tne south now not only grows cotton for the world, but manages the marketing of it. The speculator, who once got all the cream, gets it no longer.

After ob. taining a piece of thick window glass, the edges of which were ground on an ordinary grindstone, he smeared it with carbolic oil and used it on a pa tient instead of lint.
