I had a very severe sickness
that took off all my hair. I pur
chased a bottle of Ayer's Hair
Vigor and it brought all my hair
back again." *
W. D. Quinn, Marseilles, 111.
One thing is certain,?
Ayer's Hair Vigor makes
the hair grow. This is
because it is a hair food,
lt feeds the hair and the
hair grows, that's all there
is to it. It stops falling
of the hair, too, and al?
ways restores color to j
gray hair.

nternatipnal Lesson Comments for
August 16.
Subject:- Saul Tries to Kill David, I Sam,
xviii., 5-16?Golden Text, Psa. xl., I ?
Memory Verses, 12-14?Commentary
ob tbe Dav's Lesson.
I. David's promotion (v. 5). 5. "David
trent out." After his victory over Goliath
David waa appointed to some post of com
nana and went out on military expedi
;ions. ?'Wisely.'' This word combines the
deas of prudence and consequent success.
feet him over," etc. This is probably the
*?"? appointment as 'that referred to in
.*. 13. David was not made the leading
>incer over all the host, for Abner held
hat position (chap. 17:55), but Saul gave
lin some principal command in the army
nm made mm captain of a regiment.
Was accepted." The elevation of the
shepherd boy was in the hearts of the com
11011 people, and no doubt the sentiment
)f the nation at this time had had 6ome
nflucncc on Saul in his promotion of
IJavid. "Saul's servants." Even the cour?
iers, who were the most likely to be dis?
eased with this new favorite, were glad
o receive the youthful conqueror and
?ecognizc his authority.
> II. David's victory celebrated (vs. 6-9).
5. 'Was returned." There has evidently
>een a digression in tbe narrative (vs. 1-5)
to relate the circumstances of David's
u-rmanent reception into Saul's service,
he commencement of the friendship be
ween him and Jonathan, and his ultimate
iromotion and success. The narrative
low goes back to the welcome which David
eceived when the army returned in tri
imph from the successful completion of
he Philistine Avar. This verse should be
ead in connection with chap. 17:54;
hough some time may have elapsed, dur
ng which the army was occupied in fol
owing up its first success. "Women came
nit." It was the principal business of
?ertain women to celebrate victories, sing
it funerals, etc. "Of all the cities." They
?arne together from all the neighboring
litics. "Singing and dancing." This is a
?haracteristio trait of Oriental manners.
)n the return of friends long absent, and
>articularly on the return of a victorious
irmy, bands of women and children issue
rom the towns and villages to form a
riumphal procession, to celebrate the vic
ory with dancing, music and songs, in
lonorof the generals who have earned
he highest distinction by feats of gal
an try. The Hebrew women, therefore,
vere merely paying the customary con
:ratulations to David as the deliverer of
heir country. '"Tabrets?timbrels." That
s, the hand-dram, an instrument still
ised by the Arabs, and described as a
loop over which a piece of parchment is,
Irawn. Sometimes pieces of brass nre
ixed in it to make a jingling. It is beaten!
vith thc fingers. The instrument must
lave been similar to the modern tam
)oui'ine.
7. "Sang one to another." They sang
llternately. Some of the women began
he song with, "Saul hath slain his thou?
sands," and another company answered,
'And David his ten thousands." This
vas a neat poetic parallelism. The en
hutiaatic throng intimate that David's
;triumph was of more importance than all
ii' Saul's victories." In this they tom
nit ted a grave indiscretion; they praised
i subject at the expense of their sovereign.
8, 9. "Very wroth." Saul centered hi*
noughts on himself. This was the prin?
cipal cause of his trouble. He was al?
lays ready to seek the ruin of any man
>y whom he imagined he might be injured.
Rut the kingdom." The prophet had
distinctly told him in thc day of his sin
that the Lord had rent the kingdom from
him, and had given it to a neighbor that
was better than he (chap. 15:28). In David
Saul could read the marks of such a man.
"Eyed David." Watched all his move?
ments with suspicion and jealousy, which
iooii ripened into deadly hatred.
HT. Saul's attempt on David's life (vs.
10, ll). Here commences the record of
those persecutions by which, during the
rest of Saul's lifetime, the conqueror of
Goliath was continually harassed. It
forms a suggestive period .of Israelitish
history, and presents in striking contrast
the development of Saul's great wicked?
ness on the one hand, and of David's many
excellences on the other. These persecu?
tions, however, were a most useful discip?
line for the psalmist king.
10. "Evil spirit." A demon like those
mentioned so frequently in the New Testa?
ment. "From God." Sent by permission
nf ({od, as Satan in Job 2:7. "Came upon
I ml." He relapsed into a state of de?
moniac possession. See chan. 16:14.
"Pronnesied." Rather, "raved." Saul's
condition is neither that of simple mad?
ness or of true prophecy. He ia under
the control of a power higher than him?
self, but it is an evil power. Saul was at
first inspired by the Holy Spirit of God,
but now that spint lias left him and a
foul demon occupies his place, and, ac?
cordingly, instead of hallowed ecstasy, his
religious exercises resemble the frantic
ravings of a madman. He utters impas?
sioned cries, and perhaps falls prostrate
on the floor and breathes forth his inner
ravings like one holding communion with
an unseen world. "As at other times."
Se'c chap. 10:23. Also see R. V. There is
a wonderful power in music to soothe a
troubled soul. "A iavelin." Thc javelin
or spear was the emblem of regal authority.
In ancient times kings used a spear in?
stead of a diadem. They always had it at
hand, and in ancient monuments they are
always represented with it.
H.* "Cast the javelin." Saul, now
thoroughly infuriated, determined to make
an end of the shepherd boy. After this
personal attack Saul never lost the idea
that David was the God-ordained king.
This purpose he resolved to defeat, and,
accordingly, made several attempts on
David's fife.
IV. David's further advancement (vs.
12-16). 12, 13. "Was afraid of David."
Saul became sensible that he was fighting
against God: this caused terror and con?
tinued to disturb him more and more.
"Because the Lord," etc. When God is
with U9 we are certain to succeed, but
when the Lord forsakes a person he ia
equally certain to be defeated. The Chris?
tian is mighty only "through God" (2 Cor
2:10). "Cap'tain. It is not certain that
this was the same appointment referred
to in v. 5, but it is mute likely that it was.
14-16. "Behaved," etc. David acted dis?
creetly; he trusted to the divine guidance:
God was with him. Because of this "Saul
. . . stood in awe of him" (v. 15, R. V.).
This is a stronger expression than the one
used in v. 12, and denotes primarily the
avoidance of the person feared. ' Ali?
loved David." Saul made David captain
over a thousand partly to get rid of him
from his presence, and partly perhaps in
the hope that he would lose his life in
battle (vs. 17, 25); but the result was that
he became firmly established in the affec?
tion of the people.
Hun.bug on a Largo Scale.
In 1802 a man named Viain-Lucas,
living in tho rue Jean Jacques Rous?
seau, Paris, managed to dispose of no
fewer than 27,000 .bogus manuscripts,
gems, enamels and ivories.
He said he found thom in an iron?
bound chest In a ruined city in Cen?
tral America; but it came out after?
ward that lie had, with infinite pains
ard running, made them all himself.
The pride of the collection was what
purpoited to be an anclont silver cas?
ket of Syrian workmanship, ano
which contained, among olher things,
a love letter from Judas Iscariot to
Mary Magdalen, twenty-five letters to
St. Peter frcm Lazarus and two brief
epistles from Groruius Julius to our
Lord
Pine Tree Bread.
Pine tree bread is being eaten by
Finlanders, and is almost the only food
that can be obtained by them just
now. It is made of the bark of pine
trees, and looks like brown sandstone.
It is almost as hard as stone, ard no
one would suspect that it could be
eaten. Its only redeeming feature lt
that lt lasts for years In as "pftlfttabla/'
? condition as when fresh,
CASTE IN ENCLAND.
Mr. Carnegie Compare* It With That in
Thia Country.
We referred lately to Mr. Carnegie's
surprising assertion that Shakespcaru
had boen more to him thau his Bible,
Now that we lin ve before us the full
text of the interview in which tins sin?
gular statement was made we find
that he said some other things that de
serve to bc commended rather than
deprecated. It is. as he said, a source
of social nnd industrial Aveakncss for
Great Britain that in that country thc
whole social structure is permeated
with the spirit of caste.
In England a man's place is fixed, te
a very large extent, by what his father
or his grandfather was. whereas in thc
United States a mau stands for him?
self. English society ls stratified; Off,
to change thc metaphor, every class
has one above to crawl to and one be
low to kick. In the United States, on
the other band, if the plumber's sou is?
a stronger and better man intellectu?
ally and morally than the millionaire*?
son. he goes on top. Asked how he
reconciled this assertion with the ex
istence of the so-called smart set In
New York, Mr. Carnegie answered
that with us the smart people do no*
count. We laugh at them. Wc give
them nothing to do. Englishmen, op
the other band, Ifould place such peo?
ple at the head of their Government
departments. This was a stroke nf
the bouse of Cecil. Mr. Carnegie went
on to say that if in England the idle
rich were treated as the "smart set"
are treated in America?that is to say.
with indifference, if not contempt?
competent young Englishmen would
not be forced to emigrate to find a ca?
reer. He Inclined to think that, so far
as the English-speaking world is con?
cerned, England would always retain
the supremacy in the reaim of litera?
ture and art. We are by no means
certain, however, that this will be the
case. Because Shakespeare and Mil
ton belonged to Enghmd it docs not
follow that the great writers, painters,
sculptor! and musicians of a hundred
years hence will be Englishmen. In
science, at all events, it seems proba?
ble that the United States will take
the lead. Mr. Carnegie himself and
Mr. John D. Rockefeller are doing
much to assure us scientific ascend?
ancy by their munificent endowments
of research. Let us suppose that dur?
ing the last nineteen centuries a tithe
of the money that has been devoted to
religion has been devoted to science,
what conquests might science not
have made.?Harper's Weekly.
Future American*.
Professor Franklin II. Giddings, ol
Columbia University, takes a hopeful
view of the future of the American
people in the International Quarterly.
Notwithstanding the tremendous Im?
migration of diverse races, he thinks
it is demonstrated by the census re?
turns that the American type will re?
main essentially English.
At present there is a good deal of
beterogeueity, which is unfavorable to
liberty and democracy, and favorable
to boss rule, to despotism and to im?
perialism. But all this will bc over?
come by the American spirit. "Com?
posite as they are in bloOU, various as
they are in mental qualities, interested
as they are, as individuals, as local
groups, and even as great geographical
sections, In the most varied pursuits,
beliefs and purposes, the American
people, from whatsoever nationalities
descended and of whatsoever confes?
sion, are men and women who have
been inspired by the great ideals that
could create and mould a nation.
"Differing as they may in all other
respects, they are alike in this, that
(hey have been chosen, selected from
the nations of the earth by their re?
sponsiveness, lteyond the responsive?
ness of their kindred, to thc ideals of
freedom."
And it is this American spirit "that
will overcome all elements of unrest,
of ignorance and of corruption?the
spirit which will enlighten and con?
vert the moot unpromising foreign
bom citizen who now votes in ignor
ance but who will one day vote
wisdom."
A Telegraphic Novelty.
Our Vice-Consul-Gcneral at Berlin
roporls to the State Department a new
invention relating to rapid telegraphy
that is undergoing a practical test, the
results of which should receive dna
consideration in the United States.
The system is known as thc Pollak
Virag rapid telegraph, and after a
careful examination at the Polytechnic
Institute at Charlottenburg it was
shown to the Emperor and Empress of
Germany about the middle of last
February. It was decided at this visit
by the chief of tho German postal sys?
tem and other Influential persons that
the naur system would be given a prac?
tical test on the line between Berlin
and Konigsberg, which is some 710
kilometres (447)_ miles) long. The re
s_ita obtained willi tbe new system are
considered most satisfactory, as it has
been demonstrated that 40,000 words
per hour can be transmitted under the
most; varying conditions. The impe
rial t?;-graph service has decided to
introduce the system on the bus^' Hue
bciween Berlin and Frankfort.
A Clever Woman.
Fatty Lyle Collins, a Southern wom?
an, is said to be the best chirograph
Ical expert in the world. She is em?
ployed by the postoffice department at
Washington, whore she deciphers some
of thc addresses of letters that would
otherwise Dot reach their destination,
Out of every 100,000 letters received
??dead"' every year th? system of de?
livery by her has been so perfect that
the majority of them reach their des?
tination in an astonishingly short
time, and this she does without break?
ing the seals. I i her record year she
supplied them on eighty-seven per cent,
of the cases, a fact which in Itself be?
speaks the enormous work this clever

popularly known as "The Rose," has
committed suicide in a miserable hovel

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
Ocncral Trade CondHloas.
Bradstreet's says: Weather, crop ario
<.rade conditions arc seasonably favor?
able, though irregularity and weakness
in some staple prices reflect readjust?
ment of consumption to enlarged pro?
duction. Copious rains in the corn belt
and in the western portion of the cot?
ton region have removed some of the
uneasiness existing as to the outturn
of these two great crops, and despite
this backwardness the outlook for gen?
eral trade has been measurably helped.

Rich in Friend*.
Bret Harte died at the age of sixty
two years, and left an estate valued at
just eighteen hundred dollars. His rich
social success somewhat offset this ab?
surdly small remnant of thc profits of
authorship.
In his adopted home in England men
of rank in life and letters were proud
to know Mr. Harte, and, attracted by
Ins personality no less than by his ge?
nius, rallied about him in a way which
15 well illustrated by a story which T.
Edgar Pemberton has incorporated in
his recent biography of Harte.
On one occasion the English actor,
Toole, went to lunch with Bret Harte
for the tirst time. After a greeting his
host said,?
"Let mc introduce you to thc Duke of
St. Albans."
"Oh, yes," Toole said, with a smile,
and shook hands with the gentleman
who was assuming thc character, as he
thought.
Presently thc actor was introduced to
Sir George Trevelyan, and had scarcely
shaken hands with him when Harte
said,?
"I would like to introduce you to
Count Bismarck."
"Oh, yes, said Toole again, turning to
the newcomer. "How many more of you
are there? Where is Von Moltke, for
instance?"
Bret Harte laughed; so did Trevel?
yan. A comedian is allowed certain priv?
ileges, and Toole's remark was consid?
ered as mere pleasantry.
"But," said he afterward, "I had no
idea what a fool I was making of my?
self."
At table Mr. Toole said to the man
who sat next to him,?
"Who is the gentleman Harte intro?
duced me to as St. Albans?"
"The Duke of St. Albans," was the
reply.
"And the man opposite?"
"Herbert Bismarck, thc prince's son."
"No! Really?"
"Oh, yes."
"And the man talking to him?"
"Sir George Trevelyan."
"I was never more sold in my life!"
Toole confessed afterward, when telling
the story.
Tradition Rectified.
King Arthur had established the
Round Table.
"Just to have thc knights take pot?
luck with nie," he explained glibly.
Later, however, Guinevere was dis
rurbed by rinding some red, white and
blue chips in thc royal pucket.
William Tell had just shot thc apple
from his son's head.
"it vas green." he explained ncr
'o*."-ly. "and I had to do something quick
lefore ihe boy atc it!"
Subsequently a more artistic version
vas given to thc newspapers, but truth,
"rushed to earth, will rise again.
G. Washington was encamped at Yal
ey Forge.
"The Forge is all right," said thc
faithful soldiers, "but" where is thc
blacksmith V
"Don't you know," exclaimed the
rate general, "that he is under thc
spreading chestnut tree?"

I wish we Americans would adopt thc
Spanish style of giving. There are oc
rasions when a host, warmed to the
rockies of his heart by the congeniality
ind personal magnetism of a guest, will
?ive to him whatever he particularly ad
nircs among thc household gods. In j
Spanish-speaking, Spanish-conquered,
Spanish-lost countries this giving is un?
derstood to be a sort of compliment with
a string tied to it. The guest?"Ah!
What a lovely porcelain! I have never
;een its equal. Some rare work of thc
Middle Ages." "Do you like it?" says
die pleased host. "It is yours." They
shake hands, slap each other on the
shoulder and renew old friendship. But
thc host knows that the present will
never leave his house a ;nd thc guest
understands that thc gift is not his ex
:cpt in the meaning.
An Offended Citizen.
He stood in the shadow of St. Paul's
Chapel and gazed angrily at tUe St. Paul
building opposite. "I'm a Ruskinite," he
iaid between clenched teeth. I can't
jet used to that facade. See those three
Hcrculescs holding up that entire front
ivall! Isn't it a crime. They are nearly
crushed to death. Sec how they bend
ind struggle! Note the awful agony!
Look at their faces?worse far than the
automobile faces wc read about. I have
lightmares every time I sec them. Each
}f the three must be carrying on bis back
i weight of 2CO(ooo pounds. When I
think of such torture I feel that we arc
savages. Is there no hope? None so
long as wc submit to such monstrosities
in architecture."

Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia--Something
to Produce Artificial Diges?
tion is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
of Other Digestive Remedies
Have Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat of the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh,
EX. U. S. Senator M. C. Butler, from
South Carolina, was Senator from that
State for two terms. In a recent letter to
The Peruna Medicine Co., from Washing?
ton, D. C., nya:
"I can recommend Peruna for
dyspepsia and stomach trouble. 2
have becnustng your medicine for
a short period and I feel very much
relieved, lt ls indeed a wonderful
medicine besides a good tonic.""'
M. C. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures ca?
tarrh. Peruna Jot. not produce artiiieial
digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves the
stomach to perform digestion ia a natural
way. This is VM*!j Letter and safer thau
resorting to artiiieial methods.
Peruna has cured more cases of dvspep
sia than all other remedies combinea, sim?
ply because it cures catarrh wherever lo?
cated. If catarrh is located in the head.
Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened
itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Pe?
runa cures it. When catarrh becomes set?
tled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as
well in this locution as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for dvs
pepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Pe
rutia cures dyspepsia because it is gencr
ally dependent upon catarrh._
