Thc boys who used lo collect stamps
nnd coins are now bending their ener?
gies to making a collection of street?
car transfers. This is the latest fad.
It has superseded even the one for
cresta and monograms off of letters.
The small hoy who has a transfer
from New York. Chicago, St. Louis.
Detroit, or any o her ol the larger
cities, is regarded with envy by his fel?
lows. If he has one from any of the
European cities he is a hero of the
highest type.
Sometimes the transfers exhibited in
sTan-books are nol as immaculate as
they might be, and the reason for this
it is whispered, is t tat they are often?
times picked up out of the gutter in a
verv disreputable condition. Then they
are taken home and washed off. hut
they always show = igns of their con?
tact with this wicked world, though
that doesn't make them any the less
valuable to their young owners.

International Lesson Comments for
September 28.
Review of the Preceding Twelve Lessons for
the Third Quarter, Deut. viii., M6
Golden Text, Deut. viii., 18?lo*
troduction and Summary.
Introduction.?During the past quartet
| we have had several important lessons
j The Lord certainly put forth every effort
; in behalf of His people. Their tempora.
and spiritual necessities were attended to.
: Bread was provided, the commandment!
[ given, idolatry punished, a house erected
for Jehovah, intemperance punished, th(
j promised land viewed by chosen men, a
Prophet like Moses promised, and then,
1 finally, Moses, the great lawgiver, wa?
called to his reward without having en
tered'tipon his earthly inheritance.
Summary.?Lesson 1. Topic: Heavenly
bread. Places: Elim. The wilderness of
sin. The Israelites journeyed from Elim ta
the wilderness of sin; they mummied
against Moses and Aaron; they feared they
would starve in the wilderness and longed
to be back in Egypt; the Lord promised to
rain bread from heaven; directions were
given regarding the gathering of the
manna; the Sabbath was to be observed;
Mesh was to be given them, also; they were
murmuring against the Lord, not against
Moses and Aaron.
II. Topic: God's covenant with man.
Place: Mount Sinai. God spake to the
people with His own voice and gave them
the ten commandments. This lesson em?
braces the first four. 1. Thou shalt have
no other gods before Me. 2. Thou shalt
' not make tinto thee any graven image. 3.
Thou shalt not cake the name of the Lord
thy God in vain. 4. Remember the Sab?
bath day to keep it holy.
III. Topic: The duties we owe to ou*
fellow-men. Place: Mount Sinai. This
les.on embraces the last six of the ten
commandments. 5. Honor thy fathei
and thy mother, that thy days may be long
uuon the la'nd. 6. Thou shalt not kiil. T.
Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8. Thoa
shalt not steal. 9. Thou shalt not bear false
witness. 10. Thou shalt not covet. The
fifth is the only one with a specific promise
attached. The tenth deals wholly with the
inner life. Covetousness is the great sin
of this age.
IV. Topic: Israel's idol worship. Place:
Mount Sinai. After the ten command
PMitta were given to the children of Israel
tba Lord called Moaea up into the mount, :
where he remained for forty days. The
Israelites persuaded Aaron to make a gold?
en calf, which they worshiped. Moses j
came from the mount, broke the tables of \
the law, called those who were on the |
Lord's side to come to hin and punished
the^people for their great sin.
V. Topic: Setting up the tabernacle.
Place: Mount Sinai. Moses commanded
thatthe tabernacle be set up; the ark and
the furniture was to be put in the taber?
nacle; thc altar of burnt offering nnd the
lavar were to be put in the court before
the tabernacle; Aaron and his sons to be
washed with water; Aaron was to he clad
with the holy garments, anointed and sanc?
tified; all was done exactly as God com?
manded.
VI. Topic: The consequences of drunk?
enness. Place: Mount Sinai. Nadab and
Abihu. Aaron's sons, put strange tire in
their censors and went in before the Lord;
the tire of the Lord devoured them; Aaron
commanded not to drink wine or strong
drink. God puts a difference between the
holy and unholy, and between unclean and
clean.
VII. Topic: Leaving Sinai for Canaan.
Places: Mount Sinai. Paran. The cloud is
taken up from off the tabernacle, and the
children of Israel leave the wilderness of
Sinai and journey to Paran. Moses invites
Hobab to accompany them, but he refuses
to do so- some things indicate that he
changed his mind and went with them.
The Lord led His people by day and by
night.
VIII. Topic: The land of Canaan.
Place: Kadesh Barnea. One man from each
tribe was sent to search the land of Ca?
naan; they were gone forty days; they
brought back some of the fruit of the land;
they reported that the land was good, but
that the people were giants, and that the
cities were walled; only Caleb and Joshua
thought they were able to go up and pos?
sess the land.
IX. Topic: Saving Israel from n just
punishment. Place: The valley of Arabah.
The Israelites are obliged to go to war;
some of the Israelites were taken prison?
ers; they vow to the Lord; the Canaanites
are delivered into their hands; journeying
from Mount Hor; the people are discour?
aged; they murmur against Moses; thc
Lord punishes them by sending fiery ser?
pents among them; the people come to
Moses for help; Moses goes to God, and is
directed to make a serpent and put it on a
pole, and "every one that is bitten, when
he looketh upon it. shall live."
X. Topic: True and false worship.
Place: East of the Jordan, opposite Jeri
icho. The abominations of the heathen
are enumerated and positively forbidden
by the Almightv. Thc Lord promises to
rai*e up a Prophet from their midst, unto
whom they should harken. The Lord warns
false prophets.
XI. Topic: The blessing and the curse.
Place: East of the Jordan, opposite Jeri
tho. God's commandments are not hidden,
and are not afar off; before every one is
.et "life and good, and death and evil;"
the commandment is given to love God
ind walk in His ways; a blessing is prom?
ised to those who do, but a curse is pro?
nounced upon those who worship other
zods and serve them; all are urged to
choose'life.
XII. Topic: Closing scenes in the life of
Moses. Place: Mount Pisgah. Moses goes
up froriT-the plains of Moab to tho top of
Pisgah; the Lord showed him the land of
promise, but told him that he should not
y.o over. Moses di^d and the Lord buried
him. Moses was 120 years old when he
lied; the children of Israel wept for him
thirty days. Moses for forty years in the
aiMernCM had borne great responsibilities,
niffered and endured many privations, and
lied just before Israel entered the prom?
ised possessions. God's ministt-rs ana peo?
ple may spend many weary years in self
lacrificing labors to accomplish a glorious
work, and die in full view of its comple?
tion. Death does not end their work.
Toahnaa who are "full of thc spirit of wis?
dom." are raised up by the Lord, and set
apart by Him to complete the unfinished
work of His departed servants.
Frenchman Would Tax Kisses.
Certain legislators in France are
talking ot imposing several new taxes
and a political opponent suggests that
they put kiBses on ihe schedule of the
articles to be taxed.
A statistician, he points out, has
calculated that 73,85:5.407 kisses are
given in France every day, and, if
these figures are correct, the national
treasury would receive a large amount
annually even though only a small tax
was imposed on every kisser.
He claims, however, that children
who kiss their mother should be ex?
empt from taxation, and that ten times
the ordinary tax should be imposed
on men who kiss married women.
Ile Knew the Family,
Col. M. H. Welsh, of 1-aucaster, once
arrived in Steelton, Pa., early In the
morning to make arrangements for a
circus performance at that place. To
obtain his license it was necessary to
see the Burgess of the town.
The first person he met was a large,
burly Virginia negro, who was on hia
way to work at the steel works.
Colonel Welsh approached the fellow
and said:
. "Captain, can you tell me where r
can find the Burgess of Steelton?"
"Say, boss, I is a stranger around
here myself, and all I can say ls keep
away from dem Burgesses. I was en?
gaged to be mahried one time to Mary
Elizabeth Burgess and dey ls a peskj
lot of niggers."

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s "Weekly Review
of Trade" says:
Industrial activity is greater than at
any recent date. Many new factories
and mills have been added to the pro?
ductive capacity, facilities are being in?
creased at old plants and idle shops
resumed through the settlement of la?
bor controversies.
A coke blockade still exists, thc rail?
ways being unable to handle the output,
which is above all records and in ur?
gent request. Despite the rapid devel?
opment of transportation facilities thc
nation's needs have grown still faster
and the situation is distressing for ship
pcrs and consumers.
Retail trade is large, with a bright
outlook for the future in jobbing and
wholesale business. There are few 0!
the cancellations so numerous at this
time last year, while collections arc im?
proving.
Although thc weekly capacity of the
pig iron furnaces in blast 6n Septem?
ber 1 was reported as 335.189 tons by
the "Iron Agc," it has since been ap?
preciably curtailed by the inadequate
supply of fuel, on which account num?
erous furnaces were blown out or at
least banked. As consumptive require?
ments are increasing, it is necessary tri
place orders abroad more extensively,
and in some cases the entire <r_:tput 0!
foreign plants has been secured. Not
only raw material, but billets and even
rails, are sought in other markets, Ger?
man mills offering the best terms in
most cases.
New England producers of boots and
shoes are insisting on full prices, and
some grades that were slow to respond
are now sharing the improvement. No
sign of weakness is seen in leather,
some selections rising still more, par?
ticularly the better grades of sole and
belting butta Slight reactions have oc?
curred in some packer and count r.
hides, but most lines are still firmh
held. Liberal receipts have not dc
pressed foreign dry hides.
Low stocks of wheat and poor grad?
ing of receipts, together with fears ot
frost in corn sections, sustained quota
lions when a decline would have been
imminent if full confidence were placed
in official returns of condition.
Failures for the week numbered 20;
in the United States, against 193 last
year, and 22 in Canada, against 18 a
year ago.

Despite the opinion ot Attorney
General Anderson to the contrary, the
inmates of the Confederate Soldier-,
Home, in Henrico County, were al
lowed to register. When the question
'.?ame up at Shumaker's precinct, io
that county, a strong fight was made
against thc right of the old soldiers to
register under the suffrage clause ol
the new constitution. A majority oi
tiie board, however, insisted that the in
mates of the home who had lived in
thc county 12 months were entitled to
vote. The names of about 20 of the
veterans went on the books, and all of
the others will go on when they pre?
sent themselves.
Miss Mary McCoy, daughter of Mr.
John McCoy, of Winchester, and Mr.
J. William Norris, of Brunswick, Md.,
were married at Stephens City by Rev.
II. A. Brown. They had intended get?
ting married at Kernstown. but no
minister could bc found and they drove
to Stephen's City. An unusual circum?
stance of the. wedding is that upon
their return to Winchester the bride
received intelligence that her grand?
mother. Mrs. Eiza Grove, had just died
at Martinsburg. 'Hie groom received
a telegram asking him to bc a pall?
bearer at thc funeral of his cousin,

erable headway before the fire depart?
ment reached the scene, but the build?
ing was rescued from total destruction

self through thc head. His partner
heard the shot and ran into the room, j
finding Maddera on the floor, thc ,
blood rushing from a wound in his 1
head. Thc wounded man was taken to

rash act is believed to have been ill
health.
At Richmond. Harold Wannan, the
13-year-olrl lad who shot and killed

novel reading.
A nolle prosqui was entered in the
Hustings Court of Roanoke in the case
against Con O'Leary, charged with em?
bezzlement. His troubles and indictment
grew out of his management of die

prosecution was unable to make out a
case.
Thc Stack mine, near Covington, on
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
caved in suddenly and buried four ne?
groes. Their bodies have been recov?

narrow escape. No one can explain
the accident.

him as lost, has just returned, and tells
a story of three years' imprisonment by
cannibals in one of the Samoan Islands.
Mr. Taylor escaped death, but several
of his companions were instantly slain
upon capture. His escape is due to the
fact that one of .he chief's daughters?
Yahow, by name?became enamored

lor, however, was imprisoned for three
years, finally escaping and swimming

Wlmt Her I'ntlier Wu,
A little girl who belongs to an In
liana family has been interested of late
n the nicknames applied to the natives
)f different States, and has asked her
nother many questions about "Wol
-erines" and "Buckeyes" and '"Suck?
ers" and dear only knows what else.
Recently she was heard talking with
i group ol playmates. Thc little girls
?vere evidently discussing their fathers.
"My father's ;i minister," said one
ittlc girl. "He came from Kentucky,
md he's a Christian."
"My father's in office," said a second
rhild. "I don't know where he came
rom, but I guess everybody in office
is a Christian.''
This brought the subject up to the
ittlc girl of Indiana parentage. It hap?
pens that her father had a father who
nadc it possible for thc former gentle?
man to live without rwy occupation.
However, she 'couldn't let thc other
swirls brag of their fathers without put?
ting in some word tor her own.
"My father came from Indianapolis,"
she said, proudly, "and he's a huckster,
ind that's why."

Nervous prostration is so frequently

some doctors do not distinguish be?

the disease has pervaded the whole

I was troubled with torpid liver
for many years and was subject to
dreadful headaches, which conflued
me to my bed once a week. A friend
recommended Kipans Tabules. I
did not have much faith, but bc per?
suaded me to try them, and inside
of three weeks I was a cured
woman. On account of my age I
hardly thought lt possible to effect a
cure, as I had been subject to those
awful headaches since I was a lit?
