The darkest days of husband and wife are when they come to look forward to a childless and lonely old age. Many a wife has found herself inca- pable of motherhood owing to some de- rangement of the feminine system, often curable by the proper remedies. l' Inmany homes once childless there are now children because of the fact fIi -. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal. If you have the slightest doubt that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound will help you,write to Lydia E.Pinkham MedicineCo.

All orders to native servants in In. dia must be literally given, for in that manner they will be received. e mis- sionary once took a country lad as a servants when going out on a boating journey. As there are no lavatories on beard the country boats, one's ab- lutions have to be performed in a very simple manner, an ordinary buc- ket serving as a wash bowl. The bov was told to bring some water and in doing so happened to spill a little on the floor. "Why don't you throw it all over me?" asked the missionary jo• eosely. "Aha," said the lad, and int - mediately, to his master's astonisb- ment, he took up the pail and emp- tied it over his employer's head. English Birth Bate Drops.

He wondered how he' could ever have oared for this molasses,. and mucilage girl. 1ie remembered now that she bad always had these same cloying ways. She bad always pawed hire and, Iike - everybody but the powers; he hated pawing. It would have been bad enough at 'any time to nave Kathleen hanging on his coat, straightening his tie, leaning close, smiling up in his eyes, losing him his balance, recapturing 'him every time he edged away.

Ole, etiquette,j 'what injustices are endured in thyl ;name! So there he sat,' sweating his soul's blood, and able only to spar for timet `and _wonder when the gong would` ,ring. And now she was off on a new,! 'tack: "And where are you bound for,, Harry, dear?" "The Philippines," he said, and fol! !the first time there was something 'beautiful in their remoteness. "Perhaps we shall cross the Pacific: ,on the same boat." The first sincere smile he had ex -i. •perienced came td him: "I go on an army transport, fortu-unfortunately.", "Oh, I just love soldiers. Couldn't; mamma and I go on the transport?i ;Mamma is very fond of soldiers, too."'. "I'm afraid it couldn't be arranged." , "Too bad, but perhaps we can stop' .off and pay you a visit. I just love army posts. So does mamma," "Oh, do!" "What will be your address?" "Just the Philippines -just the Phil- ippines." "But aren't there quite a few of them?" , "Only about two thousand." • "Which one will you be on?" "I'll be on the third from the left;" said Mallory, who neither knew nor cared what he was saying. Marjorie had endured all that she could stand. She rose in a tightly leashed fury, "I'm afraid I'm in the way." Kathleen turned in surprise. She had not noticed that anyone was near. Mallory went out of his head cone- ,pletely. "Oh, don't go -for heaven's 'sake don't go," he appealed to Mar 'jorfe. "A friend 01' yours?" sald Kathleen, bristling. "No, not a friend," in a chaotic tan= r gle ' ` 11I s, -Miss-]1llss-Er-er- 'er-" Kathleen smiled: "Delighted to ,meet you, Miss Ererer." "The pleasure is all mine," Mar- .jorfe said, with an acid smile. "Have you known Harry long?" said Kathleen, jealously, "or are you• just acquaintances on the train?" "We're just acquaintances on the train!" "I used to know Harry very well- very well hided." "So I should judge. You won't mind if. I leave you to talk over old times together?" "How very sweet of you." - "Oh, don't mention it." "But, Mar-jorie," Mallory cried, as :she turned away. Kathleen started at the ardor of his tone, and gasped; "Marjorie! Then he -you-" "Not at all -not in the least," said Marjorie. At this crisis the room was sudden - ay inundated with people. Mrs. Whit - .,comb, Mrs. Wellington, Mrs. Temple ;and Mrs. Fosdick, all trying to look like bridesmaids, danced in, shout- ing: "Here, they come! Make way for 'the bride and groom!" CHAPTER XXX. A Wedding on Wheels. • The cotnilrotion of the matrimony - mad women brought the men troop- ing in from the smoking room and there was much circumstance of dec- orating the scene with white satin ribbons, a trifid crumpled and dim of luster. Mrs, Whitcomb waved them at Mallory with a laugh: "Recognize these?" He nodded d dism• ally. His. own fu- neral baked meats were coldly fur- nishing forth a wedding breakfast for Ira Lathrop. Mrs, Wellington was moving about distributing kazoos and Mrs. Temple had an armload of old shoes, some of which had thumped. Mallory on an occasion which seemed 00 ancient as to be almost prehistoric. Fosdick was howling to the porter to get some rice, quick! "How many portions does you ap- proximate?" "All you've got." "Boiled or fried?" "Any old way." The porter ran forward to the dining -car for the am- munition. ' Mrs. Temple whispered to her hus- band: "Too bad you're not officiating, ,Walter." But he cautioned' silence: "Hush! I'm on my ,vacation." The train was already coming into Ogden. Noises were multiplying and from the increase of passing objects, the speed seemed to be taking on a spurt. The bell was clamoring like ,a wedding chime in a steeple. Mrs. Wellington was on a chair fast - ,ening a ribbon round one of the !lamps, and Mrs, Whitcomb was on an- other chair braiding the bell rope with withered orange branches. when Aet : FER'ED- fIC trou. •" "hello, Charlie," I i 1 e had always found". that when Ira ;grinned and was cordial, some trouble i s ?was in stern for him, He wondered 1 t li 1 LV I � L,1 wh r -lent t It4i held behind his, back ���� � fY(`ii nqw :.but he lotted an uneaey cur- dtality "And is this you„Ila?

Charles, 'but he,was resuscitated by one ,glance athe bill that Ira thrust into This palm. If a man's gratitude for ;his wife is measured by the size of the fee he hands the enabling par - 'son, Ira was madly in love with Anne. :Rev. Charles had a reminiscent sus- picion that it was probably a counter - felt, but for once he did Ira an in- justice. The minister was in such a flutter ;from losing his boyhood love, and 'gaining so much money all at once land from performing the marriage on a train, that he made numerous er•- Tors in the ceremony, but nobody no- ticed them, and the spirit, if not the 'letter of the occasion, was there and the contract was doubtless legal enough. , The ritual began with the pleasant murmur of the predcher's voice, and -the passengers crowded round in a solemn calm, which was suddenly vin- lated by a loud yelp of laughter from Wedgewood, who omitted guffaw after Mrs. ,guffaw and bent double and opened !out again, like an agitated umbrella. • The wedding -ghosts turned on him Tem, visages of horror, and hissed silence :at him. Ashton seized him, shook r: ;him, and muttered: Peace! ; "What the -what's the matter with d' you?' The Englishman shook like a boy :having a spasm of giggles at a fu- eral, and blurted out the explana- ition: "That story about the bridegroom - just saw the point!" Ashton closed his jaw by brute force and watched over him through the rest of the festivity. CHAPTER XXXI. Foiled Yet Again. Mallory had fled from the scene at .the first hunt of the minister's words. His fate was like alkali on his palate. .For twelve hundred miles he had ran- sacked the world for a minister. When lone dropped on the train like manna r the roof,even this miracle through h to o t i g .had to be checkmated by a perverse ;miracle that sent -to the train an early infatuation, a silly affair that he him - 'self called puppy -love. And now Mar- jorie would never marry him. Ile did .'not blame her. He blamed fate. He was in solitude in the smoking ',room. The place reeked with drifting 'tobacco smoke and the malodor of cigar stubs and cigarette ends, 1lis ;plans were as useless and odious as ,cigarette ends. He dropped Into a chair, his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands -Napoleon on 1St: Helena. And then, suddenly he heard 'Mar- ljorie's voice. He turned and saw her 'hesitating in the doorway. He rose Ito welcome her, but the smile died on his li s at her chill s eech ton, with kazoo all ready, called out: "What tune shall we play?" • "I prefer the Mendelssohn Wedding March," said Mrs. Whitcomb, but Mr 'Wellington glared across at her. "I've always' used the Lohengrin. "We'll play 'em both,"" said Dr. Te ple, to make peace. Mrs. Fosdick murmured to he spouse: "The old Justice of the didn't give us any music at all,' an received in reward one of his most luscious -eyed looks, and a whisper. "But he gave us each other." "Now and then," she pouted. "But where are the.bride and groom?" "Here they come -all ready," cried Ashton, and he beat time while some of the guests kazooed at Mendelse sohn's and some Wagner's bridal mel- odies, and others just made a noise. Ira Lathrop and Anne Gattie, look- ing very sheepish, crowded through !the narrow corridor and stood shame- facedly blushing like two school chil- dren about t6 sing a duet. The train jolted to a dead stop. The conductor called into the car: "Og- den! AU out for Ogden!" and every - ',body stood watching and waiting, , Ira, seeing Mallory, edged close and. iwhispered: "Stand by to catch the minister on the rebound." But Mallory turned away. What ;Ilse had he now for ministers? His' !plans were shattered ruins, The porter cane flying in with two; •large bowls of rice, and shouting,, "Here comes the 'possum-er-pos- ,son." Seeing Marjorie, he said "Shall I perambulate Mista Snoozie-. ums?" She handed the porter her only friend and he hurried out, as a lean and professionally sad ascetic hur- ried in. He did not recognize his boyish enemy in the gray-haired, red- faced giant that greeted him, but he ;knew that voice and its gloating Canadian • 1 National ®na Exhibition EXPANSION YEAR New Livestock Department Everything in.

"But, really, you ought to' marry ;me -not merely because I love you - and you're the only girl I ever-" He stopped short and she almost smiled as she taunted hint: "Go on -I dare ;you to say it."

Then she took his breath away by (answering: "011, I'm going to marry ;you, never fear." , "You are," he cried, with a rush of ' returning hope. "011, I knew you 'loved me." ! She pushed his encircling arms 'aside: "I don't love you, and that's ;why I'm going to marry you." "But I don't understand."

C. Watson, 'who had- the. courage; to undertake a (lonely 2,10)0 miles motorcycle trip from Cape Town to Pretoria, has retained to London. England, .,She is hone the worse for her journey. but :'c.e found wheh she arri"ad iii 'South Atr'ica that almost every motorist advised her not to pro- ceed with her plan. ,"You will never do it," they sajO. "liven if nothing else stops you the sand and rough roads will." She accomplished the journey in spite of the sand and rough roads; which caused her to dismount many times and wheel her cycle, but the new outfit with which she started is scattered along the waste of coun- try. She wore riding breeches, a habit coat, high lace -up boots, a motorist's peaked cap, and rode a 2 1-2 horse- power motorcycle. The journey was not accomplished without some hardships. At night Miss Watson slept in the huts belonging, to the gangers, who are placed at five miles, or found refuge with lonely Boer families, where only the children understood English, and they acted as interpreters. eSome of the roads were impossible for cycling, and the only non-stop run she had was one of 36 miles from Kimberley to Johan- nesburg. In cue tpwn a cyclist came up to her and told her that she would never complete her journey, for the sand would keep her. The only a;casion when she was tempted to use her revolver presented itself on Majuba Hill. A native ap- proached her, and demanded money. She had none to give him, but mount- ed her cycle and felt for her revolver. To her amazement the cycle refused to "spark," but just as the Kaffir was putting his hand on the back wheel the cycle started forward, and she tore down the hill. Miss Watson had some trouble with the streams, and on several occasions she "rushed" them, and landed on the other side soaked. During the journey Miss Watson met the first woman in South Africa who ever used a motorcycle in that country. She was Mrs. Sutton, a daughter of Gen. Cronje. English Take Precautions So great are the precautions taken in the port of London in the loading and unloading of vessels carrying quantities of explosives that the dan- ger of terrible explosions in the Thames is as remote as human in- genuity can make it. No' explosives can be leaded, sags The St, .James Gazette, until the stoke- hole fires of the vessel, the tug and all the boats in the vicinity have carefully been banked up an hour previously and all other fires and lights extinguished. The ship's signal lights and side lights must be of such a type as to dispose completely cf any risk of fire or explosion. Winches or cranes must not be used in handl- ing explosives of whatever character. The gangways and decks of the vessel must be covered with hides or other suitable material; a cushion stuffed with oakum and covered with leather must be used for resting any ease of explosives upon, and the steel interior of the ship must be covered with sheet, lead, leather cloth or other suitable material approved by the port auth- ority. Noperson near the ship is allowed to carry any matches,' fuses or other combustibles, and the only matches allowed on the vessel are those of a special safety kind passed by the an- thority, and even these matches must be kept in a safe place apart from the explosive. No man is allowed to smoke anywhere in the neighborhood, and no passenger can set foot on the ship when it is being loaded. All these ships, lighters and tugs have to be specially registered, and to mark their dangerous oocupation the ship, whether at anchor or under way, must fly a large red flag at her fore masthead, that flag which sea- men call the "powder burgee." Largest Known Flower. The largest known flower in the world grows in Sumatra. This flower is parasitic, and to science it is known as Rafllesia Arnoldi, so called in honor of Sir Stamford Raffles, one time governor of Sumatra, and Dr. Arnold, a naturalist, these two being the first white men to find bne of the gigantic curiosities, while together on an exploration trip. The flower'is vg a s a ou a foot long aad ' of equal width, 'sur- rounding a depressed disk or cup of like diameter. The ketals are very fleshy, a single blossom weighs about 15 pounds. The petals are of a brick - red color, covered with warty, irregu lar excrescences of yellowish white. and, on the whole, rather attractive, for all of its coarseness. The central disk is covered with horn -like protub- erances and wheal these are removed the cup will hold three gallons of water. of ti pe t l b t UNDA1' SCHOOL esson nil,--ihjr'ily Quarter, For July 27, 1913.. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the. Lesson, tx, v, 1-14. Memory Verses, 1, 2 -.-Golden Text, Matt; v, 4 -Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns: When ;Moses lief! Aaron gathered the elders aecl Aaron snake the, words and did the signs as the Lord commanded the people believed and bowed their heads and worshiped, as they heard that the Lord had visited them and looked upon their affliction, It looked bright, indeed, and deliverance seemed at hand. but the Lord's time had not yet fully come, for Israel needed to be made quite willing to leave Egypt. Even after they did leave we hear them loaiging for the food they enjoyed there in spite of their slavery. The message to Pharaoh from the Lord God of Israel by Moses and Aaron drew from him the sneering reply; "Who is the Lord?* * 1 know not the Lord; neither will I let Israel go" (verse 2). Then he accused Moses and Aaron of biodering the people in their work and commanded the taskmasters to lay more work upon the laborers - let them gather their own straw, in- stead of receiving it, and yet turn out the full quantity of bricks (verses 3-9). He also called the words of the. Lord by Moses "vain words" (verse 9). Thus did Rnb-shakeh speak to Hezekiah of the words of the Lord as vain words or words of the lips (II Kings 18-20, margin). Thus do many wise and schol- arly men today speak of the words of the Lord concerning the restoration of Israel and the coming of a great deliv- erer, but in spite• of all unbelief "the counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all genera- tions" (Ps. xxxiii, 11). It was impossible for the children of Israel to turn out as many bricks when they bad to gather their own straw: therefore the officers of the children of Israel were beaten because the work was lacking. Then they cried unto Pharaoh and said that the fault lay with the Egyptian taskmasters, who would not supply straw. lie replied, "Ye are idle, and that is the reason ye want to go and sacrifice to your Lord." so the officers of Israel saw that there was no hope for them, and they accus- ed Moses and Aaron of being the cause of it all. Tben Moses turned to the Lord and pleaded with him. saying: "Lord. wherefore hast Thou so evil en- treated this people? Why hast Thou sent me? * * * Neither hast Thou de- livered thy people at all" (verses 22, 23). The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, but is long suffering, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy (1I Pet. 3-0; Ps. ciil, 8). He has a time for ev- erything, and happy are those who can say, "illy times are in Thy band" (Ps. xxxf, 15). The Lord's reply to Moses was, "Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand shall he let them go" (vi, 1), There is something in the name Jehovah which Israel up to this time had not known (vi, 2, 8).. It is the greatest name of God in Scripture, being used over 7,000 times. We know but little of the mean - tog of any of His names, but to me this great name comes with comfort as I think of the great. the mighty God, the Creator of all things. as my Re- deemer, a sacrifice for my sins, the One who was and is and is to be, by the sacriflce of Himself delivering me from the wrath to come and mooring out His purposes because of His own faithfulness. Some do not, perhaps, know that whenever the word God or Lord is all in capitals the name is al- ways Jehovah. In connection with Ex. vi, 1, 1 have for at least fifteen years had assodiated in my mind John vi, (i, "He Himself knew what He would do," and there is great rest in both. May we know more fully the great redemption of the Lord and His faithfulness and in faith and patience go .quietly on to know Him and to make Him known. ,., a 1 Note carefully in chapter vi, 6-8, that the section begins and ends with "I am Jehovah" and includes seven great "I wills," covering the bringing out, the. complete deliverance, the making them His people and bringing them into the• promised land. He said He would,. do all because of His covenant with, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and be- cause of His own faithfulness. Set: when Moses told these great things to Israel the cruel bondage and their an- guish of spirit were -se treat that they would not hearken (vi 9). '' ` ;g,' How' often in their later history He had to complain that they did not know Film and would not listen to Him, as in Ps. lxxxi, 11-13; Isa. I, 2, 3; xxx, 15; xxxvi, 10, and other passages. The Lord then said to Moses: "I am Je- hovah. Speak tbou onto Pharaoh, king of Egypt, all that I say unto thee" (vi, 2S, 20). That is the whole responsibility of a messenger of the Lord -to receive the word at His mouth and give them warning from Him. As Be said to Jeremiah, "Thou shalt go to all that 1 shall Mnd thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak" (ler. 1, 7). Even the Lord Jesus Himself said, "The Father which sent me, He gave .me a commandment. what ,I should say and what l should speak" (John 4(b. Moses again objected. saying, "tiow shall Pharaoh henilten unto :no?" (vi, 12, OO). Contrast the obedt- enae of Isaiah, when the Lord said. "Whom al t)I i send, and who will go fol'. us?"
