INTERNATIONAL! LESSON NO. XII.
SEPT. 17, 190ft
Daniel in Babylon—Dan. 1:8.20. Temperance
Leeson.
Commentary.—The Temptation. These
young men were confronted with a pow
erful temptation. A desire to obey the
king’s commandment, love of popularity,
appetite, a desire to succeed, these were
strong attractions. They were slaves
in a strange land, and was it not neces
sary to fall in with the customs of the
people? They were tempted (1) to do
that which was degrading; (2) to dis
obey the law of their God; (3) to deny
their religion and God and fall in with
idolatrous worship.
II. The Temptation Resisted (v. 8). 8.
Purposed in his heart—He decided what
he would do and then took the wisest
possible way to accomplish it. At first
he made only a simple request. It was
not political strategy his actions were
not planned to catch the eyes of the
king. The first emotion of his heart
was loyalty to God; this led to his reso
lution. Daniel did not trifle with God or
his conscience. They changed his name
but could not change his nature. Would
not defile himself—The Hebrew who ate
without restriction at Nebuchadnezzar’s
table could not but defile himself. 1. Ar
ticles of food would be provided which
the law (Lev. 11) forbade the Hebrews
eating. 2. The flesh might not be per
fectly cleansed from blood, and hence
forbidden by the Jewish law (Deut. xii.
23-25). The Jews still have their own
butchers and will not eat meat prepared
in the usual way. 3.The heathen conse
crated each meal to their idols, as Chris
tians now “return thanks” before par
taking of a meal, and for Daniel to eat
after such a consecration would be to
acknowledge the validity of the false
deity. Defilement is a true idea of sin.
III. The Ten Days’ Test (vs. 9-16). 9.
Into favor—Ashpenaz saw that Daniel
was a young man of integrity and noble,
loving character. His person was beauti
ful and doubtless his manners were at
tractive. The best way to please others
is to please God first. 10. I fear... .the
king—He does not positively refuse the
favor which Daniel seeks. This appeal
by Ashpenaz, was very persuasive, and
while Daniel did not wish to imperil the
life of his benefactor, yet he felt that it
was safe to do right and that God would
deliver them.
11. Melzar—This is not a proper name,
but should be read “the melzar,” the
chief butler, or steward, the one Who had
charge of their food. “Daniel applied to
him because he was the one who fur
nished the food. It is implied that Daniel
had permission from the prince to do
this; otherwise it would have been dis
obedience and insult, and unworthy of
Daniel.” 12. Prove—Test us; experiment
for a short time and watch the result.
Give us pulse—A vegetable diet, with
water instead of wine.
13. then....deal with thy servants—
These words were spoken with quiet
confidence as to the result.—-Bib. Mus.
A number of other boys besides these
four were undergoing the same training.
-—Zochler. A fair test, to place these
young abstainers beside those who par
took of the royal banquets, and see
which company presented the most vig
orous appearance.—Hurlbut. 14. ten
days—This would afford ample time to
allow the effect of steady, good faith
on their health. Daniel had strong faith
in God, and he felt sure that he and his
companions would present the best ap
pearance. 15. fairer and fatter—The
complexion was healthier and clearer.
“God meant that if a man would be
intemperate he should himself proclaim
it to the world.”—Barnes. “The glut
ton, the drunkard, the debauchee, carry
the stamp of their deeds upon their fea
tures. A depraved character corrupts
the flesh that carries it.”
IV. Honored by Gcd and man (vs.
17-20). 17. God gave them knowledge,
etc.—1. Through the highest physical
condition which made their minds clear.
2. By imparting it to them directly as
the visions recorded later. 3. Dy giving
his blessing to their daily studies, aid
ing their minds by his Spirit, opening
wider doors to knowledge through his
providence. 4. By keeping them from
those vices, from conceit and selfishness,
which distort the judgment and dim the
'perception of truth.—Peloubet. in all
learning—“In science, astronomy, litera
ture, philosophy, the Chaldeans stood at
this time at the head of the world. They
had the beginnings of chemistry and
even of the telescope.” in all visions,
etc.—God gave a double portion to Dan
iel. He -was endued with a prophetical
spirit, by which he was enabled to con
verse with God and to receive the no
tices of divine things in dreams and vis
ions.—Com. Com. Visions were revela
tions to the prophets when awake, and
dreams when asleep. God thus made
one of the despised covenant people
eclipse the Chaldean sages in the very
science on which they most prided them
selves. So Joseph, in the court of
Pharaoh (Gen. 40:5; 41:1-8).—J., F. and
B.
18. End of the days—After three years
(v. 5), the time fixed for their training.
' 19. King communed—Talked with them,
•tested their progress, learning and tal
ents. He put them through a test ex
amination. Before the king—“To be his
personal advisers, and among the lead
ing officers of the kingdom. All officers
and servants stood when in the presence
of the monarch.” 20. Ten times better
•—Probably a high court of learning was
held, at which the king presided and the
nobles and sages of the land assisted.
These prophesied difficult questions,
which the youths readily answered, and
were in turn allowed to put questions
which the sages could not answer.—
Kitto.
Practical Applications.
Daniele’s purpose speaks of:
I. Piety. “Daniel purposed in his
heart (v. 8). Faith is of thee heart
(Psa. cxii. 7, Prov. iii. 5). Piety is of
the heart (Prov. xxiii. 7, Psa. cxix. 32).
As a sound heart is the life of the flesh
(Prov. xiv. 13), so a true heart is the
life of the Spirit (Prov. iv. 23). Piety
is the foundation of all Christian graves.
r II. Positiveness. “Daniel .........would
not” (v. 8). He was as immovable as
the granite hills around his old home in
Jerusalem. His will was inexorable, his
determination was decided, his purpose
was inflexible. Signing a pledge arid
joining a temperance society have been
condemned because of their inadequacy.
This is a mistake. The purpose, “I will
not drink,” is a long step toward trust
ing Christ to keep from drinking. To
put the will on the side of temperance is
a good thing.
HI. Purity. “Daniel, .would not de
file himself” (v. 8). Defilement is sin
(2 Cor. vii. 1). Recently a woman was
converted and gave up tobacco. About
a month afterward she was strongly
tempted to use it. A voice seemed to
sav, ‘It isn’t a sin to smoke.” After a
severe struggle she knelt and prayed,
saying: “O God, if it is a sin to smoke,
tell me.” The temptation grew stronger,
and when about to retire for the night
she prayed again, saying: “O God, if
it’s a sin to smoke, let me know in my
sleep.” While asleep, a man dressed in
white stood before her, and she asked:
“Is it a sin to use tobacco.” He said, “Is
it a sin for a man who has ten cents
and whose family is suffering for 'food,
to spend that ten cents for drink.” She
said, “Yes,” He said: “As it is a sin to
spend ten cents for drink, so it is a
sin to spend rnony for tobacco.” Awaken
ing the next morning she knew it was
a sin to use tobacco, and that the devil
had been tempting her to go back to the
old defiling, sinful habit. “Daniel, .would
not defile himself.. with the wine” (v.
8). He asked for ‘water to drink” (v. 12).
Drinking intoxicating wine tends to de
file Spirit, soul and body. Drinking wat-
liver, nor arrests digestion, nor creates
the action of the lungs, nor inflames the
liyer, nor arests digestion, nor creates
an appetite which is increased by being
gratified.
IV. Politeness. “Therefore he request
ed of the prince of the eunuchs” (v.S)
“Prove thy servants, I beseech thee” (v.
12), he said to the steward. Daniel was
a young man under authority. He mod
estly and mildly requested that he and
his companions might be permitted to
live on pulse and water for ten days
by way of experiment (vs. 12, 13). It
is possible to combine steadfastness with
courtesy. The greatest politeness is as
sociated with the highest piety. Those
great in grace know how to speak “the
truth in love” (Eph. iv. 15.)
V. Prosperity. 1. Physical comeliness.
Daniel and the Hebrew children were
fairer and fatter in flesh than all the
children ■which did eat of the king’s mear,
(v. 15.) The king found them ten times
better than all the magicians and astrol-
g<ks (v. 20). 2. Intellectual power. God
gave Daniel knowledge and skill to use it,
‘learning and ■wisdom,” to apply it,
and a miraculous understanding of “all
visions and dreams” (v. 17.) All total
abstainers, filled with the knowledge
and wisdom that God gives us, are “ten
times better”tlian worldly men -who tam
pers with that -which steals away the
brains. 3. Position. “Daniel continued
even into the first year of King Cyrus”
(v. 21. Through successive reigns of
many years, Daniel was honored by
kings. He became the prime minister of
the kingdom. He who will not be of the
world shall rule the world. Power never
comes through compromise. Temperance
tends toward wealth, honor, promotion
and every prosperity, spiritual, mental
and physical.

DISCUSSED LAW REFORMS.
• Meeting of Legal Gentlemen in Osgoode
Hall.
A Toronto despatch: The Law Library
Associations of Ontario met at Osgoode
Hall yesterday. One of the principal
resolutions was to the effect that it is
desirable that an official guardian for
infants’ and lunatics’ estates should be
appointed for each county, while anoth
er decision was to the effect that the
Surrogate Court practice and regula
tions should be revised and brought
more up to date, as many of them are
obsolete. Moreover, it -was considered
advisable that they should be under the
control of the County Court, rather than
the High Court Judges.
The subject of the election of Bench
ers came up for consideration, but no
definite step was taken, and the matter
was allowed to stand as at present.
Whether or not solicitors should be
allowd to enter into contracts with
clients as regards remuneration was an
other important matter discussed. At
the present time such a contract is il
legal; but, though the matter was de
bated at considerable length, no definite
understanding was arrived at, and the
matter remains practically where it did
before.
The meeting appointed a Legislative
Committee to wait upon the Attorney-
General as soon as possible to discuss
questions of law reform, and other com-
mittes were also appointed. The for
mation of an Ontario Law Association
was suggested, and those present at the
meeting expressed themselves in favor
of such a step.

THE MARKETS.
UNITED STATES ANNUALLY
WASTES $25,000,000 ON ROADS.
Port Huron, Mich., Sept. 4.—In an
address before the Good Roads Conven
tion, Provincial Highway Commissioner
Campbell, of Toronto, said that the
“century upon which we are entering
will be recorded as an era of good road
making on this continent.” He urged
the employment of competent engineers
to supervise the construction of all high
ways, and made many valuable sugges
tions as to construction.
A. N. Johnston, Highway Engineer of
the Department of Agriculture, in his
address, said fifty million dollars were
spent annually in the United States in
the maintenance of roads, and that it
wag a conservative estimate to say that
fully one-half of this was wholly wast
ed by poor methods.
Fierce Weather and Graft—Can’t
Even Sell It Out.
There’s a Yankee circus in pawn in the
little city of Grenoble, in the south of
France. What’s more there are about
200 American canvasmen, acrobats, ani
mal trainers and others, that go with a
well regulated circus, without money or
other necessaries of life in that small
French town.
A Washington despatch printed in the
Sun yesterday morning told of the sorry
condition of this troupe and how appeal
had been made to the State Department
to come to the rescue of the stranded
show people. It is the Henry W. Mc-
Caddon circus and it left this city early
in April to be gone five years, during
which time all of Europe was to be tour
ed and. separated from what money the
public might be willing to spare.
At presnt the outlook for the strand
ed ones promises a hard time. The State
Department is powerless to aid the em
ployees of the show, as it is necessary to
get special legislation from Congress in
order to supply even transportation for
them. Congress won’t convene for some
time, and even then it isn’t likely that
the natioal lawmakers will care to mix
in the affairs of a defunct circus.
The despatches from France to the
State Department in Washington set
forth that the show people are penniless
and dependent on the charity of the city
of Grenoble. Evidently, the good folk of
that place don’t relish the idea of car
ing for the needy troupe, for from all
accounts the show must have been a very
bad one by the time it landed in Gren
oble.
McCaddon is with the stranded bunch,
and he too, is broke. What’s more be
can’t sell the show, or any part of it, it
is said, without getting into trouble. Ac
cording to show people around town the
trouble lies mainly with the real owners
of the show.
Among those who backed the enterprise
when it went abroad are W. W. Cole, a
wealthy showman; Mrs. Forepaugh Fish,
who owns the Forepaugh Theatre in Phil'
adelphia; Joseph Arthur, the playwright
and County Clerk Thomas L. Hamilton.
Some folk say that Hamilton’s holdings
are only nominal and represent the cash
of Groceryman Benjamin B. Odell, jun.,
of Newburg. Anyway these people Could
bring the show back if they cared to do
so, or at least they could authorize Mc
Caddon to sell the tents and other things
that go with the show, and thus pay for
the return of the people who are strand
ed. But, according to certain showmen,
there is a row on among the backers of
the circus, and no one seems to care very
much what happens to the bunch of Yan-
kes living meagrely on the hospitality of
the inhabitants of Grenoble.
Showmen here deplore this state of af
fairs for the reason, they s$y, that it
will have a bad effect on the credit and
treatment of others that visit Europe.
What happened to the McCaddon circus
on the other side is perhaps best told by
Frank J. Gallagher, who has charge of
the billposting at the American Theatre
in this city. Gallagher had charge of the
advance work for the McCaddon show
and he sailed in March with a gang of
of twenty-four billposters and paste
makers. His brother George was assis
tant to Manager McCaddon. Frank Gal
lagher left the show in Mirecuort,
France, when he saw how things were
going. His brother George stayed later,
but managed to get back, and he is now
in Philadelphia. In talking last night of
his French experiences and those of the
show Frank Gallagher said:
“We got a bad break from the start.
In the first place McCaddon made a
mistake in opening in the north of
France, for the weather was the limit.
It was so cold that we had trouble in
keeping paste warm enough to stick
up the bills.
“I papered Dunkirk, France, where the
show was to open. The ship landed at
that port and got in two days late. Of
course there was nothing doing is Dun
kirk, and all my good bill work was for
nothing. The bunch were carted to Lille,
where the first performance was given,
and it was fierce. We landed in the
' height of a hailstorm that made our
canvas look like a collection of dishrags.
Naturally the good people of the north
ern French towns don’t fall over each
other in an effort to get under our
tents.
“As if the tough deal at Lille wasn’t
enough, we played three weeks of one-
night stands during a season of hail,
rain and cold that kept, everybody at
home and nearly froze everybody con
nected with the circus. Very little money
was being pushed over the box office
plate, and it was costing a whole lot to
keep the show going. Then the way
those French city officials were shaking
us down was a caution. Over there you
don’t pay for a license, as is done in
this country, but the main squeeze of
the town comes around and tells you to
contribute to the relief of the poor. I,
being ahead of the show, had to do this
poor relieving stunt. There must have
been an awful bunch of needy people,
because the towns demanded 200 francs
for each performance. I think I can
guess how much of this the poor got.
“And talk about ticket graft in Amer
ica! Well, this country isn’t a marker
to France. Everybody in the town must
have been on the city pay roll, judging
from the call I got for paper. There
wasn’t any way out of it. It was a
case of give up or no show.
“Finally, the circus was in so bad a
j fix that McCaddon had to cut out the
side show and then he stowed the men
agerie. This was the biggest mistake he
could have made, for that is what the
French people like more than anything
else. McCaddon said- he couldn’t af
ford to pack them around, and putthem
in storage quarters. All this made trou
ble for me ahead of the show, for my

bills were displaying a lot of things
that I knew the show wouldn’t make
good on. The people got sore and word
was passed from one town to another
to look out for the show, which was de
scribed in some French lingo that meant
“on the bum”—which it certainly was
after a time.
• “I was the first to quit the show,
and maybe I’m not glad that I did.
Since arriving home I have been fol
lowed by ten bill posters. I came first
cabin on the Kaiser Wilhelm, but the
bill posters came—well, it’s a shame to
say. Two of them returned stowaways
and were discovered when the ship was
two days out. For the rest of the trip
they had to scrub decks. The others
passed coal, helped in the kitchen and
did nearly everything to get back. No
more Europe for mine.”
Henry W. McCaddon is a nephew of
James A. Bailey. McCaddon har toured
Europe with the Barnum & Bailey show
and saw what he thought was a good
scheme. It was to play the towns that
were too small for such a show as Bar
num & Bailey, Buffalo Bill and the big
fellows. His scheme was so attractive
that it was with little difficulty that he
organized a stock company to back the
show. The McCaddon circus was a first
class show when it left here, there being
over three hundred people with it. The
higher class of performers have either
returned here or are performing with
other shows in Europe. It is the cheap
er class that are stranded in Grenoble.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— I
“Your Vegetable Compound was recom*
mended to me to take for the intense suffer- I
ing which I endured every month and with I
which I had been a sufferer for many years I
getting no relief from the many prescriptions I
which were prescribed, until, finally becom- .
ing discouraged with doctors and their medi- j
cines I determined to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s '
Vegetable Compound, and I am glad that I 1
did, for within a short time I began to mend
and in an incredible short space of time the
flow was regular, natural and without pain,
This seems too good to be true and I am
indeed a grateful and happy woman.”
Women who are troubled with pain
ful or irregular menstruation, should i take prompt action to ward off seri- i
ous consequences, and be restored to I
perfect health and strength by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. and then write to Mrs Pink
ham, Lynn, Mass., for further free ad
vice. Thousands have been cured by
so doing.
FEEDING FACTS

SID
In ordinary feeding the steer consumes
about % °F its ordinary feed; the balance is un
digested or wasted.
This undigested balance can be made to
give y2 to I lb. extra gain per day, and at a
profit, by adding the “ salt, pepper, and gravy” to
its food to make it “tasty.”
You like these on your own footi; why not
the animal.
Like ourselves the animal longs for a
tasty” meal.
It starts the “mouth watering” before eat
ing, and the stomach fills with digestive fluids
to thoroughly dissolve the food.
This extra amount of digestive fluid dis
solves an extra amount of food. This is where
the extra gain comes ia.

Specimen Graft in China.
Emil Bard, a French writer, tells how ;
Peking is lighted, as follows: “Eighty ,
thousand taels ($50,400) are assigned :
each year for street lights; the official i
in charge takes 40,000 as his share and i
gives the rest to a subordinate. This I
latter hands over 20,000 to his inferior, I and so on, until the original sum is re- !
duced to a few coppers cash, given to a I
coolie to buy oil and a wick; these are
placed on a plate on the ground. A .
beggar comes along and .drinks the oil—,
and such is the lighting of Peking.”
