There is no more dangerous enemy to peace of home life than the people oh) speak hastily, as a sudden squall of rasing ill temper. and then when they are restored to good humor expect everything to Le just as it was before. Alas. there is no such Fos:lion as "just as it was before' in this shifting, chang- ing, up -and -down -hill human nature of Inert and women. Every word and every deed is a stop by which we mount upward or sink lower in the onward 'curries -lugs of lite, and those who give Vent to the bitter speeches of passion- ate temper take u long step downwards, .whence IL Ls a steep climb up again. It atm. st lois passed into a proverb that any ono with any strength of char- acter is bound to have a temper of some sort; the ntecdc and much endur- ing usually are conceded, also, to be spoor spirited as well. But the finer the character the more perfectly will that 'tcinpor Le under control. \Vere a wo- man to announce that she was subject to sudden attacks of madness which never lasted long, is It likely that any Cne would desire her companionship or avant her as an inmate of their home? Net what else is an uncontiollcd and passionate temper? It is difficult to pick up a family newspaper or home maga- zine which dors not contain some hint for the creation or preservation of fe►n- in'ne beauty. Personal attrectivenesa is :taught as the duly of every woman, not only for her own sake but for her neigh- bcr:s. But of all the recipes suggested, the simple one of good temper usually is lett out, yet there is nothing on earth which can so glorify a plain face, or improve a fair one, a: a kind and ch:ery soul shining through tho windows of the eyes. !THE STRUGGLE OF THE AGES Worren often do not realize the pew- ee of ill temper to spell their Loauly until the harm has been done, and heir lives have leen ruined thereby.

The former generally against its will has supported the latter. The interests of ttose. two aggregations of nein have been set oft one against the Otter; more soldiers, less workers; more w.:rkots, less eoldlers; more swords, tower plowshares; more pruning hoks, fewer spears.

CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL DATER NAT10N.1L LESSON, Jt:LY 26. Lesson IV. Saul Rejected by the Lord. (holden Text, Josh. 24. 24. THE LESSON WORD STUDIES. (Rased on the text of the Revised Version). Saul's Campaigns. - Tho people had not overestimated the powers of their leader Saul, who at once began a aeries of brilliant campaigns against their enemies on all sides. One of the strains of popular report even has it that his selection as king was the result of a successful calling of the clans and leading them out to the rescue of the men of Jabesh-gilead at the time of an Ammonite invasion (1 slam. 11). Much of his reign was taken up with battles against Israel's foes, and Chapters 13 and 11 are devoted to the record of these conflicts. First, there is the Philistine campaign, which is ono of defense. Tho appear- ance of these powerful enemies with their war chariots and overwhelm- ing numbers fills the heart of Sail's men with fear, and they either de- sert or folow him trembing (1 Sam. 13. 0, 7) but he gains a number of important victories. Several stories concerning Jonathan --- Saul's son and a popular hero -are told. In a wonderful exploit he and his ar- mor -bearer start the rout of the Philistines single handed (1 Sam. 14. 1-16. Later, when he breaks a vow which his father, unknown to hire, has made, lie is saved by the demand of the people. At this time also Saul shows signs of the self -dependence which was later to cruse his rejec- tion (1 Sam. 13. 8-14). In succes- sion he meets the Moabites, the Am- monites. and the Edomites, the three great people whose territory flanked Israel on the south and east. Fin- ally, he goes out against the Amale- kites, with whom Israel has an old score. They formed the first line of opposition to her advance from the wilderness into Canaan and she has not forgotten (Exod. 17. 141. it is the part of justice and religious duty to visit upon them the sin of their fathers, and this Saul sets out to do impelled by the command of Jehovah through Samuel. The war is one of extermination. and is to include none but the offending na- tion, so the iienites who live among the Amalekites are given an opportunity to flet' before the final attack. Israel' victory is decisive and eotnplete. It is the disobedience in the disposal of the spoil which causes Samuel to leave his place of retirement and come hurrying down with the word of Jehovah against Seel, whose selfishness has prompt- ed it. The brilliancy of David's con- quests and the shameful death to which Saul finally came have tend- ed to dull the lustre of his own life, but it must be remembered that Lr was one of the tory greatest of racl's military- leaders, and that his victories laid the foundations for the successful reigns of David and Soo - mon. Verso 13. Samuel -The aged judge is still regent in any time of crisis, although he has given up formal power. Blessed - A gracious form of greet- ing, though it savors of hypocrisy here. Thou of Jehovah -He represents the conscience of Israel and is the one Zink between then and their -od. I have performed the command- ment of Jehovah -Samuel, speaking for Jehovah (15, 21, had renewed the old command given to Moses and handed down to Joshua (Exod. 17. 14-16) to fight against the Amato - kites till they are destroyed. It was essentially a religious net and Saul was accountable in its perform- ance to Jehovah. His word was un- true, as he had not followed the ex- plicit command of Samuel (1 Sam. 15. 3). 15. Amalekites-Israel a oldest and most hated foes. They were a rob- ber, nomad people living in lower Palestine who harassed and molest- ed the twelve tribes from the time of the battle at Rephidim, when Moses prayed while Joshua fought in the pain, all through the period of the Judges. till their final exter- mination at the han.1 of David. if it is true, as is thought,that they were at the bead of the confederacy of Canaanite tribes who possessed the land. and represented them in the conflict, the bitter rivalry between them and Israel was to he expect- ed. The peope spared -A falsehood. They dare not have done so except at Saul's command. The best -A suspicious selection. To sacrifice -A flimsy pretext, for their destruction would have amounted to a sacrifice to Jehot ah. Utterly destroyed - Put to the ban. This was the execution of a religious sentence; hence the seri- ousness of disobedience even in a de- tail. Acl►an's sin with its tragic re- sults corresponds to this and is of the same sort. There were degrees of severity in the enforcement of the abs, hut in the case the extreme penalty of absolute annihilation of every living thing was imposed. 17. Though thou wast little . . . . of Israel - Compare haul's own words in Chapter 9, verse 21. Ilis elevation should have increased his sense of responsibility to Jehovah. Jehovah -The agent of God's will is overlooked. According to Ile - brew thought nil things were due to the direct action of Jehovah. 19. i)idst fly upon the spoil -A graphic expression indicating lack of self-control and personal greed. 20. Aged --This was possihly the ti- �,tle of the king of the Amalekites ra- ther than a personal name (compare Pharaoh in Egypt). 21. Devoted things -Or, as some- times translated. "accursed." "con- secrated." "dedicated.'' and "holy to Jehovah." The ethical meaning in the English words was not part of the original one. which more nearly corresponds with the idea of taboo among modern tribes Anything was "devoted" which was utterly &riven to Jehovah. T)'is might he ' done in either of two V. aye. (1) by ;Riving it to the Driest for personal or ceremonial use, or (2) by render- ing it unfit fur any use at all. Com- plete destruction was the most thor- oughgoing form of devoting to Je- hovah. and as every war was a holy war the fate which often awaited nut only the property, but the persons of the vanquished was annihilation in the name of a religious vow. (algal -A town prominent iu the history of Israel at this time. It was a sacred place (1 Sam. 13; 9. 10) and was the scene of Saul's pre- vious crowning (1 Saar. 11. 14, 15) as it is now of his rejection. 22. And Samuel said -This reply which is in poetic form is worthy of the great eighth century prophets and greatly resembles them in its emphasis on moral rather than cere- monial excellence (compare Arnos 5. 21-24; Hos. 6. 6; Mic. 6. 6-8, and Jesus's words :in Matt. 9. 13). To hearken -Means the same as "to obey" in the previous line. So, the fat of rants corresponds to "sac- rifice." The repetition of thought in parallel expressions was part of the poetic form. 23. Witchcraft - Or, divination, was held in disrepute among the Hebrews, especially in later times. It was a Canaanitish practice and condemned by Jehovah - indeed it amounted to apostasy from hint. Idolatry - The worship of images of which teraphim seems to have been one sort. They were probably in the human form and were sternly denounced by the later prophets. 25. Turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah - Samuel's placation was necessary before any approach could be made to Jehovah so completely was he Jehovah's rep- resentative. 27. Laid hold - That is, Saul laid Fold on Samuel to detain hint as he turned to leave him to h.s solitary way. Skirt of his robe -Compare case of David and Saul (1 Sam. 24. 4,. Rent -\Vas torn. 28. And Samuel said -It was an accident but Samuel at once saw in it an "omen" of God's purpose to- ward Saul and used it as such. It was common to take any unusual event as an indication of divine com- munication. A neighbor of thine - That is, David. el' --- FROM ERIN'S GREEN ISLE NEWS BY 1d til. FROM IIt1:I..tND's SHORES.

The purpose of the demonstration was to show that 11e danger of operating within the chest cavity, necessarily in- velved the exposure of the lungs to the heavy atmospheric pressure, has been obviated. llad the dog's lungs been sub- jected to the ordinary air pressure they %%cute' immediately have collapsed. the air breathed in not Leing suflicint to keep the tulip inflated. '1'o do away with the heavy air pressure a partial vacuum was created within the cabinet. REDUCED AIR PRESSURE. The ord'nary atmospheric pressure, about fifteen pounds to the square inch, or 700 millimetre's, was roduc 1, inside the cage, by from eight to ten ntill-- metres, not a very great d1fcrnce, but sufficient to allow the bared lungs to work freely. When all was ready Prof. Sauerbruck and his assistant, Dr. Croton, of Mar- burg Institute. steeped inside the glass compartment, taking a frisky fox terrier with them. As the compressed air pump began t.' work Prof. Seuerbrusk:s assistant seized the dog, quickly bound it to the table, and forc.d ite wriggling head through the opening in the glass wall. The head rested on a padded shelf. To prevent any air escaping in a rub- ber cushion was fastened tightly about Ito dog's neck and secured to the rim of the orifice. CUT DOGS LUNG. The Inter:or of the cabinet was light, even the top being of glace, and those gathered outside could plainly observe the delicate operation. The gento heav- tni; of the exposed lungs as the fox ter- rier drew in air from the outside was clearly seen. Prof. Snuerbruck slowly cut away a portion of tho esophagus and inserted the sliver tube. Then be cul away a small part of one lung, catching the end with fine nippers. The surgeon passed to watch the et - feet. The dog's breathing kept on as evenly as before.
