than was. For other instences .05
places made prominent by erees,
see judg. 4. 5; 1 Sam 22, 6.
3. Ahijah, the Son of Ahitub--
Ahijah is the same Ahimelech. See
1 Sam. 21. 1; 22. 9-11. The ending
of Abijah, ''a -Is," means "God";
and blie ending of Ahimelech, "me-
lech," means "king." The He-
brew names frequently had a dif-
ferent beginning, but the name
itself was the same.
Ichabod's brother, the son of
Phine.has, the son of Eli-Ichabod
is referred" to in 1 Sam. 4. 21.
When the wife of Phinehas, the son
of Eli, gave birth to a son, it was
just at the erne when the ark of the
Lord had been taken by the Philis-
tines. She celled th,e name of her
boy, therefore, Ichabod, whioh
means "no glory," or, as it is ex-
plained,' "the glory is departed
from Israel" (1 Sam. 4. 39-22). As
Iehabod was the son of Phinehas,
who was one of the 002)6 of Eli, he
was, therefore, the grandson of
Eh, and was not se much younger
than Samuel, This inearre that
about fifty yeers had passed from
the time when the met of the Lord
was taken by the Philistines to the
time when Ionetenn scaled the
heights of Michmash. The fact that
a grandson of Eli should now be a
priest, even ailthotigh his father,
Phinehas, was a wickee man, wee
rea2ly brought about 'the death of
I;1 e father, Eli, ,thows the herede
they character of the, priesthood
among tee Ieraeliteo. Evenone
who was untrue to the tradition
and office of the priesthood could
not break the line of priestly des-
cent.
Wearing an ephod-Verse 3 is

tive here. It is important for two
re:wens: feet, beceuse it gives us
these filets about the grandson of
Eli, who was a priest, end, there-
fore, helps us to fix bhe eine of the
occurrence; and, second, because
it paves the way for the parents
thee are to follow. Because of
Jonathan's violation of an oath
which his father took (1 Sam. 14..
25-30), even although Jonathan was
en innocent offender, it was neces-
sary to cast lots. This was always
done -only ' in the presence a a
prieswho were an ephod. (See
verses 18-24.) Mao compere 1
Sam, 2. 28; 23. 6, 9. A5 to the
nature of the epbed, see Exec'.

The .people knew not that. Jolla -

tant for the nerretor to state this

would not be held responsible foe
anything that Jonathan hael done.

See Gen. 24. 12-26; Judg. 6. 36-40;

Yews because ehey were always

open to the things that 'were hap-
penieg all about titian).
11. The Hebrews, come forth out
of the holes 'Acre they had hid
themselves, - The Israelites had
beee so pressed by the Philistines
that they had hidden themselves in
caves, and in thickets, ,a,nd in
rocks, and in coverts, and in pits,
or cisterns (1 Sam. 13. 6), The
Philistines knew ties, and when
they saw Jonathan and his termer -
bearer corningep the hill, it doubt-
less looked to them as though they
had come out of a hole in a rock.
The boldness tvitli which they came
led thee' to think that ;other Israel-
ites also were near, and so they
jumped to the conelusion that the
whole Israelite army was coming
out of the places in -which they had
hidden themselves.

WELD 31EN :USE W3 It
Instrument Manipulated By In-
dians in South America.
That a system of wireless tele-
gra,phy existed more than 3,000
years ago among the -savage tribes
of South America was the informa-
tion bronehe by Captain T. Camp-
bell Beeley, adventurer and explor-
er, who arrived home recently -with
his -parte tete'. refire then a year of
eetplormg ,through the wilds of
Annaton Valley. Ceptain Besley
started through South America

river in five !months, He -believes
that his ,parey is the only one thee

et was hi the Juemara region
that we first learned of this wire-

'We 'were met at the entrance or

Bacon said that reading makete

would have magnified the signifi-

So much stee.ss has been laid on
the necessity of ehering in tee bur-
den of imperial troubles teat that •
phase of the situation can be passed
over en favor of emphasis upon the
fact that in no better way can far-
mers serve therneelves anci their
country than by industrious atten-
tion to their live sto.ck. High
ekes animals mean good prices in
the best mierkete. Further, they
mean retention uf those in,arkete.
Better illustration of these facts
cannot be hart than in the example
of the mother eon:111;1.y •heeseef. • But
the vetain.ment f Bitch results is
the reward net onlyet painstaking,
but also of eternal and intelligent
vigilance. The trend of prices,
consequent on temporarily glutted
markets due to ti, ruseto realize.,
may be downward 011 the inetant
compared with what they were a
few weeks ago, but teat is a state
of things that cannot lase At the
worst, value% are much above the
average of many years. In any
cireemstente, to obtain top prices
we must beve top .animals, and
they ere only poseible by wisdom isi
,selection, by study and by care.
EVE PUPILS ARE LARGER.
Reason Why Some Can
See in the Lim*.
It is commonly supposed that
cats and some other animals are
gifted in a way bh,at, enablee them •
to see in perfectly dark pieces
where it is impossible for the hu-
man eye to diseern anything. This
is only pertly true, however. In a
reelly dark room a eta ean see nu
more -been a human being. In
seinirearknese, though, a cat con
see more, bemuse of a distinctive
difference in their eye formation.
The eye of a normal person auto-
matically adjusts itself, in the ea -
laming and contracting ef the pu-
pil, to make it possible Co see die-
tinctly in different degrees of
light.
When We go from at darkened
room out into the bright sunlight
the eyes blink and scennt until the
pupils have 'contracted sufficiently
to accommodate the eyes to the
quateity of light. And in going
from the bright light into a .deek-
ened roue1 we cuenot see clearly
until the pupils hare expanded te
bake in all the light possible.
The advantage - thet cats and
some animals have is time the pu-
pils of their eyes are mike larger
and can expand so ae to take in
more light than the human eye. In
places that may seem quite dark
to 'fitinum beings there may be
more light than can be taken in by
the eyes of the enimals, and this
accounts -for the superior gift with
which they are credited. In an
absolutely clark room the cat or any
other animal hatno advantage.
Some people would rather be
happre lean good.
