80. Take up thy son. Elijah delivered
the risen son to hi smother (1 Kings

also oharged the parents of the dam-
sel (Mark 5. 48) to give hers something
to sat, And thus be commits to our

She caught him by the feat. Great
grief shrinks from speech. The action
was one of supplication, Elision, who
regarded this woman with gratitude
and affection, and who, watching bar
approach at this unseasonable hour,
had observed how she 'had pushed past
Gehazi, shared her silent agony with
profoundest sympathy. Gehazs came
near to thrust beg away. So would
the disciples have driven loving moth-
ers from Jesus, Mark 10. 13, 14, and
the officious multitude would have re-
pulsed the blind men, Matt. 20, 30, 31.
Let her alone. Elisha's gentleness
showed his true strength, for gentle-
ness is not weakness, but power con-
trolled. Her soul is vexed, " Her soul
is bitter." The Lord hath hid it from
me. Prophets were far from being in-
fallible, either in knowledge or judg-
mant, See 2 Sam. 7. 3. It was only
when the Lord bed spoken to them
that what they said to others hath spe-
cial weight.
28. Did T desire. She would remind
the prophet that her son was a free
gift, and had better never been given
if he were so soon to be taken, See
verse 10. L5id 1 not say, Do not de-

come the fear of disappointment. Note
that this sorrow -stricken woman does
not recount the pathetic story of her
boy's illness in the cornfield. .Those
who are bereaved of ton are inclined to
linger on every detail of the scenes
that .led to the death of their beloved
ones. Why did not this woman? Be-
cause she still trusted, in spite of all
fears, that her child would be restored
to life. This trust accounts for both
her silence, her haste, and the persist-
ence of bee demand for Elisha's per-
sonal presence.
20. Gird up thy liens. "Tighten
your girdle." Equivalent to "Put on
your coat and hat" with us. Take my
staff. A badge of Elisha's prophetic
offieo. He may have thought he could
thus confer the prophetic power upon
Gehazi. If so, the result showed his
error. Not even the Church can confer
the gift of the Spirit. Salute him not.
Oriental salutations take time. Haste
was the object of the embassy, for in
that climate decomposition must set in
speedily. Besides, eoneentration of
purpose Ls as needful to success in re-
ligious effort as in secular business.
Lay my staff upon the face of the

prophetic power by the loan of This
staff, exactly as an ancient king might
delegate his royal power by the loan
of his signet ring.

A despatch from Ottawa, says : —
Thursday, the 29th of September, is
the day fixed by the Government for
the vote all over -the Dominion on the
subject of prohibition. The question
to be submitted is as follows;—"Are
you in favor of the passing of an Act
prohibiting the importation, manufac-
ture, or sale of spirits, wine, ale, beer;
cider, and all other alcoholic liquors
fir use as beverages?" All Can-
adians qualified to vo:e at provincial
elections will be entitled to vote on
this question. To defray the expen-
ses of the plebiscite ,the sum of $250,-
000 was appropriated at Last session of
Parliament. The new franchise law
calls for the printing of the provincial
voters' lists, as int ended for Federal
purposes, at Ottawa. The work has,
however, not yet bean commenced,
consequently it is more than likely
that the lists as printed for provincial
purposes will have too be used. ea
large vete should be cast, as there were
1,353,735 names on the old .Federal
lists, 'Phase were divided among the

In four of the provinces there have

Ontario, Nova Scotia. Manitoba and
Printe Edward Island. Manitoba was
the first province to have a prohibition
plebiscite. The voting took place there
on July 23rd, 1892. In the following

Newspaper editors aro almost as
sceptical as the average physician on
the subject of new remedies for sick
people. Nothing short of a series of
most remarkable and well authenti-
cated cures will incline either an
editor or a doctor to seriously consider
the merits honestly claimed for a
medicine.
hundreds of testimonials of won-
derful recoveries wrought with the
Great South American Nervine Tonic
were received from men and women
all over the country before physicians

During his experience of nearly a
quarter of a century as a newspaper
publisher in Paris, Ont., Editor Col-
well, of The Paris Review, has pub-
lished hundreds of columns of paid
medicine advertisements, and, no
doubt, printed many a gracefully -
worded puff for his patrons as a
matter of business, but in only a
single instanoe, and that one warrant-
ed by his own personal experience,
has he given a testimonial over his
own signature. No other remedy

such a marvellous revelation to the
most sceptical as the South American

HORSES' MANES AND FORETOPS.i

The fad for nutting off the foretop
of a horse is founded neither on beauty
nor benefit 'to the health of the ani-
mal, says a writer in the Belfast News.
The stable boys like it because the fore-
top is out of the way in bridling and
(leaning the horse. The driver wbo
uses an overhead check claims the al-
ga/We of the foretop and mane back
six inches removes all danger of the
hair getting entangled in the cvar-
oheck to the annoyance of driver and
horse: But granting these claims all
the value they should have they are
more than offset by the fact that the
foretop and mane over the poll are not
useless appendages, to be put on or off
to suit the Paay of the owner or whim
of the groom.n
Nature hos commies' In the borsht's
mane and tail both beauty and utility.
The capillary growth softens and
shades the hard outlines of the form.
The beauty and relief given to the
outline of the 'horse's head and neck
by the flowing foretop and mane have
never been equaled by any sculptor or
artist in their grandest works of art.
The lightness and grace of the flowing
hair cannot be expressed In marble or
bronze, Until the bald pate becomes
as desirable and beautiful as that ad-
ovend with a natural covering of hair
it may be insisted that the clipping
1 neith-
er
the foretop is a fad, hawing need nor sense at the back of it.
The capillary growth over the poll
is a grand. device of nature. It pro-
teats the brain from the diroot rays of
the sun, breasts the force of driving
storm and piercing cold and acts as
a cushion to lessen Cho injury from a.
blow, Of the value of this persons
with bald heads can speak with feeling.
Possibly there are owners and grooms
who place their comfort and prefer-
ences above those of the horse, and with
such man the truly beautiful is not
appreciated. The cutting also deter-
iorates the sale price of a horse. An
American correspondent tells me that
those who serve horses in this way.
"oagtt to know, however, that they
lose many chances of sales, and if a
buyer be round he must, if he under-
stand the market, cut down the price
of the horse. I have bought two hors-
es recently that I have paid loss for
than I would pay if they had their
foretops. As they will be used on the
farm my ideas of damage are less than
if they were to go to a city. I have'
seen it stated that a prominent buyer
of export horses says he cannot take
a horse for the foreign market if his
foretop has been oat unless he oan mane
age to get the horse so low that he
can afford to keep him until the fore,
top groove out. Another buyer says
he will not pay full value for a horse
with the foretop olipped off. He dis-
counts such a horse so he can keep him
for six months or more. No man will
pay a penny more for a horse because of
the absence of his foretop and a part of
his mane, but there are many who will
not take a horse so disfigured unless
they can afford to keep him six months
or more for the foretop to grow." -i.,,
