"At last." he said, "I have found a
typical milkmaid ol old New England.
See her big sunbonnet, her dress up to
her shoe tops, her plain but neat calico,
and the very pail itself. It is a morning
for adventure, and I will speak to her."
He quickened his walk and was soon
near her.
"Fine morning tim morning," he
said. "I would like to help you carry
the pail."
There was no reply, but he felt the
roguish smile that he knew was hid?

on doing all thc talking until they reach?

"Can I go with you?" he asked.

International Lesson Comments For
September K
Subject?: Loving and Obeying fiod, Deut.xxx.,
11-20?Golden Text, I John v., 3?
Memory Verses, 15, 10-Com
mentary on Day's
Lesson.
ll. "This commandment." This refer,
to what Moses had just been telling them.
The great commandment of loving and
obeying God, which is the sum of the law,
"ls not hidden." Rather, is not too diffi?
cult for thee. Jehovah has not imposed
upon His people conditions impossible of
fulfilment, nor are His requirements didi
cult of comprehension. The will of God,
which is but darkly manifested to other
nations (Acts 17: 27), is clearly revealed
unto thee; thou canst not pretend ignor?
ance. Heathen oracles are shrouded in
mystery, but the commands of God are
simple and duty is dear. See Isa. 45: li/.
"Neither is it far off." Nowhere does tho
fundamental religions thought of prophecy
find cleaver expression than in Deuterono?
my?the thought that Jehovah asks noth?
ing for Himself, but asks it as ? religio-;
duty that man should render to man wh\.
-? right?that his will lies not in any un?
known height, but in the moral sphere
finch is known and understood by all.
12,13. "Not in heaven?neither beyond
lfc-^-a." The law of loving and obeying
Jod was well known to the Israelites. It
was not concealed in heaven, for it had
been revealed. They were not under the
necessity of undertaking lone; journeys or
distant voyages, as many ancient sages did
in quest of knowledge. The apostle Paul
l Rom. 10: C-8) lins applied this passage to
the gospel, for the law of Christ is sub?
stantially the same as that of Moses, only
exhibited more clearly in the spiritual na?
ture and extensive application, and accom?
panied with the advantage of gospel grace,
is practicable and easy. It is needless for
man to search for what is made known.
We need not climb the sky nor cross tho
sea. "May hear it." God speaks to Hi*
people through the prophets and through
the gospel. 1. Lovingly. 2. Distinctly.
3. Authoritatively. "And do it." It il
practicable. The word is clear and its ob?
ligations are not beyond our power to ful?
fil. To know is not enough; wc must
cheerfully do what is commanded.
14. "ls very nigh." It is accessible. 1.
It is not shut up beyond our reach, but de?
livered and published in our hearing. 2.
It is not distant from us to be brought
from far off lands, but it is night. The
anxious follower alter righteousness is not
disappointed by an impracticable code, nor
mocked by an unintelligible revelation.
"In thy mouth." The law is made plain,
so that he that runneth may read; thy
priest's lips keep this knowledge, and when
difficulties arise it may be heard at their
mouth. Mal. 2: 7. It is communicated to
thee in a familiar language, so that it can
be talked of among thy children. "In thy
heart." In the heart for our personal sal?
vation, in the mouth for God's glory and
the salvation of others. In the heart and
not in the mouth is cowardice; in the
mouth and not in the heart is hypocrisy.
The gospel believed is a fountain in thc
heart; the gospel confessed is the streams
through the mouth.
15, "Set before thee." The law had
been clearly and concisely stated. They
had the alternative of a good and happy,
or a disobedient and miserable life. "Life
?and death." Obedience to God's com?
mandments leads to life, disobedience leads
to death. Prov, ll: 19. True life consists
in a union with Christ the source of all
life; it implies all present and future good.
Death is a separation and banishment from
God and implies present and future misery.
]rl. "To Jove the Lord," etc. In this
verse we have the whole of true religion.
Matt. 22: 37; 1 Cor. 13: 4-8. He that has
this love in his heart has the fountain and
sonne of all virtue, lt is to the life what
thc mainspring is to a watch, what a foun?
tain is to a stream, what the soul is to the
body, what the two olive trees of Zecha?
riah's vision were to the lamps they fed.
It is the work of Christianity first of all to
implant this principle of love in the heart,
and when this is done all the great practi?
cal questions which vex the world will be
settled, the difficulties will be removed,
and the wrongs destroyed. "Walk in His
ways." God'.s ways are safe, pleasant and
attractive. Our duty is lain down; we
must "walk." This will require a repeated
and constant effort on our part. "Mayest
live." etc. All temporal blessings as well
.a's spiritual good follow as a reward for
ri'.'ltt doing.
17. "Turn away." Throuch a love of
Hie world, das. 4: 8; 1 John 2: 15. World?
liness, pride, pleasure seeking, ease, forget?
fulness of God, luxury?these have "drawn
away" many souls and brought upon them
the curse of God. "Not hear." Not heed,
or pay attention to the commandments of
God. "Other gods." The gods of the
heathen. "Serve them." By entering into
the licentious and wicked practices which
were indulged in.
IS. "Surely perish." The punishment of
the wicked is inevitable. "The wages of
lin is death." There is no respect of per?
sons with God, His laws are established
and unchangeable. Jer. 18: 7-10; Gal. 6:
7. 8; Ps?. 37: 20; Prov. 3: 33. "Not pro?
long." etc. Psa. 55: 23. The excesses and
sinful indulgencies of the wicked bring
them to an untimely end. Sin destroys the
sinner.
19. "Heaven and earth to witness" (R.
V.) Here are two great witnesses. God
and the hosts of heaven are called upon to
testily that every provision has been made
for man's salvation, and life is freely of?
fered. Earth is also called upon to wit?
ness ato God'.s love and mercy in faithfully
providing salvation, and then warning man
of his dangerin not accepting it. "There?
fore choose life." 1. Man is free to choose.
God has made him so. He alone is respon?
sible for deciding with regard to his eter?
nal welfare. 2. He is urged to choose life.
God commends His love, claims our love,
commands us to love, and only by loving
Him can wc live. 3. Our decision admits
of but one alternative. It is either life or
death with us, heaven or hell. 4. The de?
cision should be made without delay.
"Choose ye this day whom ye will serve!"
"Thou and thy seed." In a very important
sense parents are responsible to God for
their children. Children should be taught
to obey and honor their parents, and to
haye respect and reverence for sacred
things.
20. "Cleave unto Him." Notice the
three steps: Love, obey, cleave. Without
close attachment and perseverance, tempo?
rary love, however sincere and fervent,
temporary obedience, however disinterest?
ed, energetic and pure, while it lasts, will
be ultimately ineffectual. He alone who
endures to thc end shall be saved. "He is
thy life." He gives life, preserves life, re?
stores life and prolongs it by His power.
He gives physical, spiritual and eternal
life. He is thc author of all life.
Why We Grow Old.
A French writer, Jean Finot, dis?
cussing the question why we grow
old, says:
"For three reasons: First, want of
physical exercise in the open air;
second, poisoning; by microbes which
t'.ie phagocytes have not succeeded in
destroying; third fear of death. It
is hard to imagine the importance of
ihis last element. If a man fears
death, it will carry him away. And
v ?; it i quite pleasant, too; no sensa?
tion could be compared to it."
English as She ls Spoke.
Til is item is from a Corean newspa?
per, published in English:
"Seoul. Corea, May 2,1, 1902.?Late
y the Police Headquarters ordered to
orbid the servants frc to run the
lors^s lastly on the big streets as
hey sometimes pressed the children
low n and hurted them on the ground
ind the police stopped a mapoo run
ling a horse hardly on its back, but
i number of soldiers came along
juickly and captured the police
iway."
FOOTBALL IN ITALY.
It ls Quite Different From the English
Game.
The new game of Calcio (football)
is taking on in Milan, writes the Milan
correspondent of the Paris Messenger.
Some people compare it with the old
Italian game of Calcio, but there is a
great difference between the two. The
Italian game is played in an open
space divided in two equal parts, with
twenty-five players on the fenced
round spot. On each side there are
four groups of players; the Innanzl In
front and all in a close line to the boun?
dary. After these come tbe Sconcia
tori, then the Datoriinuanzi, and then
the Datoriindietro. who closed the
lines. The players on each side wear
different colors. This year, when the
game was played in Florence, the
colors were red and blue.
The game itself consists of neutral
throwing fl ball against a slab on one
of the walls round the place Where the
game is played. The Innanzi imme?
diately try to catch the ball when it
reaches their lines and throw it to the
Bconclatori at their back, who, In theil
time, throw it to the Datoriinuanzi who
must then try to send lt over the fence
of the opposing party. But, as there
is usually a hattie to light with tbe
opposing party, before this eau be
done, the Datoriinnanzi throw the ball
to the Datoriindietro, who are in a more
protected place aud have a greater
chance of success. When the ball is
thrown over the fence of the opposing
party that finishes the game.
Some! hues a clever Innanzi may win
the game by himself by seizing the ball
and reaching the enemy's fence by
dodging backward and forward among
tho lines. But this is very difficult aud
seldom successful.
In olden times the games often ended
in a real battle, in which one at least
of the players was killed.
The game of Calcio is always played
in mediaeval costumes. Like a tourna?
ment, it used always to be played on
the occasion of a princely marriage. It
bad not been played, however, since
1730; but, in 1S'.?8, it was again played
in honor of the visit of King Humbert
aud Queen Margherita to Florence.
It was again played this year in Flor
euee, and the most noble families of
the city took part in it.
The English game of football is but
a poor imitation of the Italian Calcio;
nevertheless, even as such, lt is taking
well iu Milan.
An Kafile's Eye.
"The eye of the American eagle bas
inn come in for its share of attention,"
said a patriot who has an ardent love
for the national bird, "and it seems
to nie that some man who is capable
of developing to the fullest the
grandeur and almost limitless possibil?
ities ol' this finished work of nature
should take the subject up. The eagle
has been conspicuous iu literature aud
in art generally. Poets have sung
their songs about the aerial wonder.
They lia ve allowed their Imaginations
to soar out into the upper air, and all
that sort of thing. I have read some?
where of a little sketch about the rare
delicacy and skill nature has displayed
in carving the eagle's beak. The trib?
ute is amply deserved. The eagle's
beak, his pinions, his claws, and in
fact everything about the eagle, appeal
lo me.
"But I was speaking of the eagle's
eye. Did you ever look iuto the eye of
au eagle'.' If so, have you not been
impressed with the unspeakable ear?
nestness, the frankness aud honesty to
be found here? Have you thought of
how much of the eagle's nature you
could find iu an eagle's eyes?bow
much of that wild, passionate love of
freedom'.' How much of that splendid
craving to soar forever above and be?
yond ihe callous nothings of a too re?
stricted life nearer the grouud Could
you not read somewhat of the eagle's
virtuous love of things almost human?
the love of mate, and the love of home?
There is a world in the eagle's eyes, a
world of philosophic reflection and the
pity is that the colors cannot be pre?
served. At any rate it is an Interest?
ing subject, and one which might be
developed if some person would but
take the time in this rushing ago to
pay a passing tribute to this wonder?
ful piece of mechanism."? New Orleans
Times-Democrat
Snatched Success.
Thc genius that turns failure into
success was shown by some boys in a
small town who were giving a lawn
party to raise money to defray the
expenses of a camping expedition.
The evening was too cool to incline
folk strongly toward Ice-cream out of
doors, and, besides, there was n simi?
lar entertainment In another part of
tbe town. The boys realized with dis?
may that they were "up against it," as
one of them put it, but another assert?
ed. "Not if the girls will help us."
Their girl friends fell in readily with
the part proposed to them, aud walked
through thc streets, some on one side
and some on another, calling out to
each other at intervals, "Are you going
to the lawn party?" and replying,
"Why. what lawn party?" to which
the answer would be returned loudly,
"The ono the boys are giving in the
'Daisy Field;' it's peachy." The boys
sold the ice-cream and bad their camp,
nnd the girls visited them in it and
were treated royally.

To Carry .wo Hundred Tons.
There bas been built lately for the
Kaiser Dock, at Breraerbaven, the larg?
est crane in the world. This crane
consists of a four-legged tower sup?
porting a revolving centre post, to
which is attached a horizontal jib, one
arm of which carries a counter-bal?
ance at the extreme end, aud the other
end a crab capable of traveling from
its extreme end to the edge of the tow?
er. It is competent to carry a test load
of 200 tons.
Eastern Trout in Western Streams.

of 400 miles. These two facts are In?
dicative of the extent of the transfer

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s "Weekly Review
of Trade" says:
"Gradual resumption of anthracite
coal mining is encouraging, although
the output is not yet sufficient to hove
any commercial value. Business con?
ditions are unsatisfactory art thc strike
center, but reports from all other sec?
tions indicate unusually prompt revival
after thc summer vacation season with
exceptionally large operations among
dealers in thc agricultural regions.
"Notwithstanding some bad weather,
large crops arc now practically assur?
ed, although the most sanguine results
may not lie attained. Manufacturing
plants are now fully occupied as a rule,
(lie least gratifying reports coming from
lurnaces that cannot secure coke owing
to railway blockades. Thc transporta?
tion problem is becoming serious, as
the factor of crop moving is about to
be added, and moreover, much coal
must bc moved by rail that usually
goes to consumers by lake atul canal.
"Iron furnaces are suspending pro?
duction because coke cannot bc secur?
ed, and it is evident that tin- rate of
output at thc opening of thc new month
will show a serious loss.
"Thc dry goods jobbing trade re?
ports a liberal dtstribu ion, and sup?
plies are only moderate in the primary
market. Changed conditions in thc
raw material have accelerated inquiries
for cotton goods, buyers seeking figures
on forward contracts and placing a fair
amount of orders. Slightly less activity
is seen in men's wear, woolen and
worsted fabrics, but fancy worsteds are
in belter request. At last footwear
makers have been able to secure a mod?
erate advance in price in response to
the recent sharp rise in materials.
Leather is strong and active, while
bides made higher record prices, but
tbe market has quieted down.
"Failures for thc week numbered 17.3
in the United States, against 202 lasl
year, and 14 in Canada, against 21 a
year ago."
