David Arose, This was no part of the original plan, If it had been, the shooting of the arrows would not have been necessary. At the risk of dis- 'eovery the friends have a meeting. They know that their parting may be for a long time, perhaps forever, and so they fees they cannot part with- out seeing and speaking to each ether again. The correct rendering of v. 41 is as followe: "David arose from be- side the mound." The mound appears to leave bean David's hiding place. Bowed Himself Three Time, Close friends as they were they observed the formsof greeting and of courtesy of which the Orientals are so fent, Davdd recognizes also the great thing which his friend has clone for him, and shows him both affection and reverence. David's self-control abandoned him in the parting scene, but Jonathan is the more calm and strong of the two, Ho reminds David of their covenant bond and oath (vs, 13-17), and pronounces in farewell, "The Lord elute' be be- tween me and tires, and between my seed and 'thy seed for ever." ,— Jonathan Befriend.

This is evidently the :statement of the ed:- tor d:for or compiler of the boots, who put the various n egatives together in their preeent form, and who seeks hare to make a connection between chapter 10: 1.8-24 and chapter 20. The difficulty, however, remains that in v. 5 David speaks as though he were expected as a guest at the king'd table et the new :noon feast. A pos- sible explanation is that, after the exper.ence of Saul's messengers and of Saul himself with the prophets (1.94 20-24), there may have been a partial reconciliation, and that may also account for the conversation with Jonathan here in vs, 1-2. If so we can understand how Jonathan believes that ail is waif and refuses to doubt his father's sincerity, while David is still afraid. At any rate David ,is •con- vinced that hie life is in danger:.

And I'm tired and tired of sailing away." "I know what I'll do," said Peterkin Spray, And he turned his boat down the Milky Way. He opened the Dapper (yes, holiest, he did), He popped in his cargo and slapped down the lid.

Onoo upon a time there was a Boy who wanted, oh, very much he wanted, to buy 8 bag of new, mouth, colored mattes, So he went with ten cents to the toy shop and holding out his money Laid, "Ten cents' worth of marbles, if you please." But the Toy lilan shook his head sadly and said, "Twenty-five cents, it you please." But the Boy had only ten cents, and be was very much surprised. "Why?" he asked, ""aro ten -cent bags a marbles twenty-five cents?" Ina second the Toy Man could telt irfm. "The trains that bring the eionet from the :tarries are not running," he said. "I must oharge more for what marbles I have," Now the Boy wanted, site very much he wanted, those marbles, ao what did he do but go to the Engineer of the train and ask him why he Wag not running his engine. In a second the Engineer could telt him, "There is no coal being mined," he said, "and hew can I run a freights train without coal for my engine?" But the Boy wanted, oh, very much he wanted, a new bag of Mal 'ob0S, 50 he went to the Coal Miner, and asked his why he was not at work. At once the Coal Miner eonid edit him. "The Grocer asks so mucic for his eggs and flour," said the Coal Miner, "that I am going to give up mining and work at u trade m which I can earn more." So the Boy saw his bag of marbles fade farther and farther away, but still he wanted it ever so much, ho - 041113e marbles azul boys have been to- gether for years and yeara. So what did the Bay do but go to the Farmer and ask him why hes eggs and wheat east so much. In a few words, the Farmer could tell. "I cannot get anyone to help me," he said. So the Boy knew that work was what was lacking, and mak- ing his marbles cost s0 much. "Let me work for you," said the Boy. lie was a fine, iitrarg hey and he took off his' coat and went to work feeding the hens and gathering eggs, packing them in crates and taking them to the Grocer. 11" helped with the grain harvesting, too, and ram the Grocer's :helve, were s0 full that he needed to self food, and he charged less for egge and flour.

You could hear the ring of his nick all day long, and coal began to 111000 to the freight yards. Then the freight trains began to prove, faded with all the necessary things of life, and things such as marbles for hap loess and play. So the Boy was able t+'> buy his bag of marbles at last, and he also had saved some of the wages which ho had received from the Farmer, He had found out a wonder too; that the way to get a thing one wants is to work for it. The Menace of the Rat. From a public health standpoint the presence of the rat indicates the exist- ence of insanitary surroundings, for it breeds best where filth and dirt abound. As a carrier of disease this pest is recognized as a menace to the public, Bubonic plague, one of the most dreaded diseases, is carried try the flea -infested rat. As a scavenger the rat is one of the most destructive pests. The rat's ap- petite is quite varied and its choice of diet' ranges from fruits and vego- tables to draper:es, carpets and cloth- ing, The home is not the only habitat of this pest. It prefers stables, mar- kets, warehouses and particularly vegetable and flower gardens, often- times sneaking its way througl, pipes and drains to get into greenhouses. It also causes fires by carrying matches off to its nest, where combustible ma- terials ere usually accumulated. Not infrequently the rat is the cause of fires by destroying the insu- lating covering of electric -light wires under floors and between walls of buildings. The paraffin used on the a r: insulating fibre seems .s t o tt eet its attention, The most effective way to get rid of rats is to build then out of existence by concreting cellar walls and floors, Where this is not practical the next best plan is to eiaeve the rat. Foods which must bo stored should be placed in ratproo3 biers. Care should be exercised not to spill or scatter foteistnfee, .Ratlroles ehanld be closed by suit- able materials, The rat trap, of course, Mays an important part its the elimina- tion of rho rodent, hut other means oe 'reventlon must also be adopted t•$ ,he ret puesaneo is to be cffeetively oouttalkd, Rat posons are not always suilable, because the dying rat may crawl back to its abode and them give rise to a disagreeable odor arising from its dceompos'mg remains, 4 Pastures must be sufficiently stack» ed to insure thorough grazing, they meet be suitably sheltered to gave shade, and the occupants must not be Subjected to any sett of disturbance, It crust be borne in mind that fer- tilizers rennet, aril will not, take the Mare of cultivab!on and good sped.
