On one of his journeys, says Novellen-iSehatz, he came to an out-of-the-way post sta- tion, and learned that because of the bad roads it would take several hours to travel by coach to Vac next -station. They told him, how- ever, that a footpath led through the forest, and that if he cared to walk he could reach ;his destination sooner than be coach. The tsar and his adjutant decided to walk, and set out through the forest. Presently they came to a river. The bridge had broken down and they were considering how they should get over, when a peasant earn along. The tsar asked him if there was no. other way of getting over. "No, sire," replied the peasant. "How are you .going to crass'?" "Oh, I just walk aeross on loot." "How about your pack' Can you carry that'? "Surer-: on my shoulders." "My ratan, You shall have ten ru- bbles if you will carry me to the other bank."' The peasant agreed, took the tear on his back, anti car- ried him over. "Now bring my companion over for ten more rubles," said Nichol- as, The peasant recrossed the stream, picked up the adjutant, and was in the 'middle of the river when the tsar called out, "I'11 give you twenty rubles if you throw him off l".. The peasant found himself in an emibarrassing position. "You shall have fifty rubles if you bring me to the other shore," said the adjutant, nervously.. "Sixty," called out the tsar, from the other bany, "if you pitch him in 1" The peasant let go of the adjutant but the frightened officer threw his arms round his neck, and cried out, "A hundred rubles 1 Now take me over 1" The peasant accepted the last offer, and carried hien to where the tsar stood. After breakfast, the adjutant wrote in his aoaount book: "For breakfast, ten rubles; for trans- porting his .majesty across the river, ten rusb'les; for transporting 'the adjutant over •lthe river, under highly amusing circumstances, one hundred ralbles." ■ G1nrkas in Prance. The presence of the Indian troops excited the greatest interest in the French towns through which they passed to their base. French sol- diers, civilians, and girlie all want- ed to she the famous Gurkha kukri knife, and were somewhat appalled, when the little natives of Nepal solemnly declared that their relig- ion forbade them to nnsheath the weapon without drawing blood. What seemed an insurmountable 'difficulty, however, was overcome when some British soldiers who had served in India were .able to bell 'the curious that the knife would be shown if the spectators would al- low a slight cub to be spade with it in the top of their finger in order to fulfil the letter of the' law.

Even though the tree may be felled the stock will rennain. The new Israel will spring from the old stump of the house. of David. The vague use of the term "Jesse" would seem -to. indicate the indefi- niteness of the origin of the Mes- siah. 2. The Spirit,of Jehovah shall rest upon hive—(See Luke 24. 49 in last week's lesson). From the begin- ning he will be overshadowed by the Most Iiigih. The supernaturalness of the Messiah's endowment is clearly indicated. This Spirit of Jehovah is indicated in three sepa- rate pairs of virtues: Wisdom and understanding—The power not only to know, but also to discern right values and rela- tionships, a very necessary quality for a ruler er judge. • Counsel and might—A moan of discrimina:ting'cancel is necessarily a man of peculiar power. He will know how •to frame right intentions and bring theca to pass., 01 knowledge and •of the fear of Jehovah—wIlhe fear of the Imrd is the beginning of wisdom." The knowledge of Jehovah is an under- standing of his character :and of his claim upon men, the fear al Jeho- vah is the exegetary ,Old Testament term for piety. It ss signifieaat to note that even the Messiah, with his supernatural endowinents has not only 'en insight into the nature of God, but an rnstsnetive desire to love and obey him, which in essence is the very heart of religion, 3. And lois delight shall he in the fear of Jehovah—Not only on his ownaccount, but on the account of others: Wherever he ems men ex- ercising a fear of Jehovah there will his heart rejoice unnd b:e gland. And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, etc. --'The king, aecording to tlhe Hebrew idea of kingship, was to have a twofold function , fir 1, he was to lead his people in battle; and second, to administer jestres in time of peace (See 1 Sam. 8. 20). As the prophet's emphasis is entirely on that, of peace, he overlooks or ignores en- tirely the fleet fnne11o110 of the Xing, or Messiah. The precursor to at reign of pow is to disabuse the ininds of autocratic kings to -day of the idea that their chief function is to lead their people in war. 4. But with righteousness shall he judge .the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth— His especial Dare is to be the de- fenseless and the oppressed, those who are not having an equal -slhance in life's race because of the ruth- lessness of stronger men.

Medical men and others who have 'made a• special study of the subject, entertain ne dutibte-strange •tlisrugh the assertion may sewed—that twins run in families, says f'earsun's a ekly.

Righteousness shall he the gir- dle of his waist—As the girdle bound risen at the waist and hence gave them freedom of .action and r-esultive Strength, it became a sym- bol of sturdy and resolute expres- sion, Compare the "girdle of 'truth" in Eph. 6. 14. 6-8, The idea, of the prophet is that in the reign of peace even 'the brute creation shall be subdued and Immune docile. A Garden of Eden shall again' appear en earth when the wildest of beasts shall lie down with the. tamest—the wolf. and the lamb, the :leopard and the kid, the calf and the young lien and the !fatting. And above all A little chikl shall lead them—It will nndcrstasuel the animals and the animals will understand it. In the reign of pence there . ihall be no advantage of brute strength. Strength shall be counted, in terms of the innocence and winsomeness of childhood, The lien: shall east steamy like the ox—He will hoeoame domesticated rind "not prey upon other animals or seek—The Messiah shall become an ensign of 'tile peoples, He shall. stand as their leader, but net in war. His leadership shall be that of peace. It scans strange that the prophet should hove need this mili- tary expression .a.s, indicating the emblem which 'would call all people to Messiah. While emiphasrzing peace the Inadvertently turns to the usage of war. This is suggestive of the difficulty with which mean will divest hi:m•self of the idea of war.

Lord Curzon,addressing a meet- ing at Harrow,. England, recently, gavo the following twelve pieces of advice: Don't think the war does not af- fect you individually. Don't be overjoyed at victory; don't be downhearted at defeat. Don't be unnerved by personal or family bereavements. Don't be frightened at the casual ty lists, so long and sometimes so distressing. - Don't think that you know how to wage the campaign :and that the War Office does not. Doii't gob nervous because the progress of the war is'sdow; it ean only- be slow in these :stages. Don't believe .all that comes from Berlin. Don't underrate the enemy, Don't waste breath in attempting to ascertain what is to happen to the German Fnipear in this world or the next. We will endeavor to dispose of him in this world. Don't begin to divide up the Ger- main Empire before you have got ]sold of it Don't listen to anyone who series "Halt 1" before we have carriedoiut the full purpose for which we aro fighting. When.the war is over don't throw away the lee,sons of the war. Lord Curzon said the Raiser's ansate wanddgo- down bo history as "1Villdann the 131ooelstained" and 'William the Assassin, Net Tet, Rut Soon; t S ; Tho Russians got Willielei"s Choice :cattle, we Tots', And now they are trying To 0alnturc his goat.' Startling Single Cases. It is, .however, when we cease dealing with statistics extending over several generations, and eon- eentrate our attention upon single cases, that we .;et some really start- ling examples. For instance, dur- ing the recent agitation in France which had for its object the induc- ing of the Government to refrain from taxing the fathers of large families, the chairman of one meet- ing announced that he had 33 chil- dren, his quiver -full including three sets of triplets and five of twins, while of three of his sons who had married, one was the slather of two lots of tw.ins and the other of a quartette Another well -authenticated case concerns two Lancashire lasses (twins) named Dermodey. . - They were married on their seventeenth birthday, and by the time they were 21 they had brought into the world no fewer 'than 17 children, their joint record including seven sets of twins and one of triplets. The classic case of all, however, and one which seems to clinch the matter entirely, concerns an Ital- ian peasant couple named Gravata, living near ]tome, Mrs: Gravate was one of twins, and the daughter of a mother who herself was a twin. She was nob married until she was 28, an ;unusually late age fee an Italian peasant girl, and there were - mtonany. sly jokes among her friends and relations as to whether was going to carry on the 'family tradi- . (:ave Birth to Six. As a natter of fact she did not in the beginning. Her first child, born a year after marriage, was just an ordinary little baby girl. The fol- lowing year, however, she re estaa- fished the family record for fertility and astonished not only her own people but practically everybody in Rome, by presenting her hufaby with six .boys—sinall, 'but healthy. Th•e next time there were five more boys, and then followed two sets of triplets and a quartet. By . this time all Italy WW1 interested. Visitors from everywhere fldeked ho the little cottage, and gifts, :both in money and kindpoured in upon the'. proud ,parents. Even royalty it- self, in the person of Queen Mac'- ghe.rite, 11015eil1 then newly at -tarried, came to bee .and admire, leaving be- hind her a substantial memoriam of her visit in the shape of a purse, filled with gold pieces. "You had' better rest on your lau- rels now, signorina," remarked Her . Majesty, langhingly as she took :her - departure. But this Mies. Gravel', apparently was not at allinclined to din. Indeed, as a matter of fact, she had at the time of the Queen's visit only about a third part of her eem- plete family about her, .for after a long series of ones and twos this extraordinary' woman had the proud satisfaction, in November, 1885, of ,pre•senting her hnebanai with font bunny boys, thereby bringing her Jiving family up to, 64, -• She .A Right. leant Alt ht. g Teacher. -'Now, cl'ildren, '1107136 ' mine of. the lower animals, etarting. with Willie Jonee.
