the rain plight be withheld, so also• he
prayed that the drought Haight be brok-
en. itis attitude in prayer and his per-.
sistency indicated his humility, his earn-
estness, his faith. Both the king and
the prophet had returned from the Kish -
on after the -slaughter of - the prophets
of Baal, the wee to feast, the other to
pray; and as the small cloud appeared
over the Mediterranean Sea, low on the
horizon, a surd precursor of rain in that
country. Elijah sent the king word to
hasten to Jezreel, because the storm was
at hand. The prophet was given super-
natural strength as he ran before Ahab's
charit the sixteen or seventeen miles
from the summit of Carmel to the gates
of Jezreel, in the storm that had already
broken in fury upon -the land that had
lain parched for three and one-half
years.

away from Carmel and had kept the
priests of Aeherah away also. There
was much for Ahab to tell: the fruitless
efforts of the Haat followers to obtain
an answer fr•oin their god; the mocking
on the part of Elijah; the calls faith of
the prophet; tete descending of fire; the
consuming of the sacrifice, the wood,
the altar, the dust and the water; the
crying of the people, "The Lord, he is
Gid;"' the slaughter of the prophets of
Baal; and the prophet's prediction of
rain. 2. sent a messenger -Elijah had

moto the growth and beauty ofthe

Cutieura Soap and Ointment have

read how George E. Jefferson, 11518
Reed St-, Philadelphia, tells of his
remarkable ease:
'My disease started with s little pimple
en my head. Then ;t began to itch. The
more T would scratch, the worse it grew
until it spread all over my head, So X
went to the doctor. But my head grew
as raw as a piece of beef and my hair com-
menced to fail out in bunches. So I
changed doctors. My head at this time
was so sore I could not touch It. Then X
decided to go to the hospital. 'Chey began
to treat it but it improved very slowly.
)!or over three years X was a•sufferer from
this disease. I thought all hopes of aper-
manent cure were impossible. A friend,
upon seeing the condition of my head -
which was a mass of running cortuption
asked ine if I had tried the Cutieura
Remedies. I told him nothing would do
mo any good; but being very anxious to
be cured, I decided to try them. The first
treatment brought itnmediate relief. My
lair became alive and stopped falling out,

well and have a full head of hair. 1 can

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
"The word of the Lord carte" (v. 9).
As Elijah bravely faced the wrath of
Ahab, as he waited -patiently by the
brook Cherith, as be ministered to the
widow in the solitudes of Zarephath,
"the word of the Lord eame unto him"
(I Kings 17. 2, 8; 18; I). So it comes
to him now when he has forgotten to be
strong in the Lord and in the power of
1•Jis ,night, comes to him in the tender-
ly spoken rebuke, "What Joest thou
here)" If Elijah had answered truly
he would have said, "I was afraid for
ray life; I doubted your love, your
faithfulness, your power to protect me
against Jezebel; forgive me, Lord."
If thus • rile prophet had spoken, • he
would quickly have been restored and
reinstated, and the reform would have
gone gloriously en, and there would
have been other great deeds and mighty
miracles. line he only contrasted his fi-
delity with the people's faithlessness (vi:
10). So God was patient and continued
to rebuke him. saying, "Go forth, and
stand upon the inot.tnt before the Lord"
(v..11). Go out of thy cave. they dark,
narrow, petty view of circumstances,
back to. the mountain-tol experience
"before the Lord" (r. 11), which you
bad when you began that service (1
Kings, 17. 1). Goout, up lute a pure
clear, high altitude. "Life is for doing.
A prophet's life for nobler doing; and
the prophet was not doing, but moan-
ing." In time of letharg;•y or despondency
the same voice clays to ua, "What
"doest" thou there? There is work to

rnent; those a leo have not bowed to

"Go, `return on thy way" (se la) He
who "went for his life" (v. 3) must go.
back where it would be again in danger.
If you have wandered from God, by
doubt and disobedience, go back where
your failure began.- One remedy for past
failure is attention to present duty.
"Iehu, .. nnoiet to be king" (v. 101.
Anointing typifies the wot•k of the holy
Spirit. The priest was „ eizted in token
that he Was set apo t cfor the Lord's
work (Lev. 8. 12), '3 tic Sing was all ed tltai the bpirit o ti' 1e Lord might

comfort" (1 Ger. 11 3); and of him
who was Prophet, Priest and King, it
is thrice recorded that be was anointed
(Luke 4, 18; Acts 4: 27; 10. 38). And
we who follow hits, having received the
Spirit, may say, "He whieh.,.,anointed
as, is God" (2 Cr.o'' 1. 21), and
the anointing abidetlt . (1 John 2. 27)
"Anoint... ,LJnsha:.- to ,be prophet in

draw to a close.•God has designs beyond
His service. The true conception is that'
we are only links in ,t chain:
"I have left me seven; thousand in
Israel (v. 1.8). Elijah 'Mourned that in
rain had be shut heaven and opened
it, brought famine and removed it, de-
feared Beat's prophets and ordered them
slain. His life after all had been a fail-

J'REDUMINANGE OF THE SPANGLE.
\Vlty the Spangle shoula have obtained
this predontineace I ,aunt say; prob-
ably it is clue to its pleasing variety of
uotot', and the fact that only ere breed-
ing pen is required by the lover of the
,tutor. In velar the cock, and hen resem-
ble each other in every respe.., the
plumage throughout being blaek and red,
or blue and red, evenly spangled with
white, with the tail black alai white ant)
blue and white. The chief and prevail-
ing fault in Spangles of to -day is a tend-
eney to lightness of color, and this fail-
ing is more prevalent in t :attend, than
in England; many of the, birds zeroes the
ksorder, to use the term- of one of our
most eueeeessful Cuntheriend breeders,
are mere meal bags.. Now a light col-
ored, heavily spangled bird is not nearly
so handsome as one which is darker in
color and has not so much spangle.
What is -required ins -; • eomellate
blending of the three eait that a bird
doe's not look too dark or too light, but
presents a beautiful, narntoniotta whole
•with neither of the three colors obtrud-
ing itself •too much upon the eye of the
besolder, As I have said, the prevail-
ing fault is lightness of color, but it is
one easily remedied. A't that is •needed
is a season's breeding with a partridge
ben, and then the easeful use of the
pullet's bred from her.
BREEDING PROM ONE 1'EN.
When one is compelled to breed from
one pen it is wise to select birds that
are of medium color and. evenly span-
gled, birds that are dark in color or too
heavily spangled do not make the best
of breeders from an exhibition point of
view. They are each inclined to perpet-
uate their deficieneles. On the other
hand, a sparsely spangled cock is a good
matte for pullets that are istelitted to be
too heavily spangled, or carry too much
white in wings rind tail. One thing
meet never be done, and that is to Irate
a cock or cockerel that is gaily spangled
to hens OV pullets poslrsstxng the sante
failing. To do so would Ito to. intensify
the tendency to lightness, and make the
progeny what I have heard them styled,
"regular meal bags,' Occasionally a
black -red enek may 'ie mated to spangle
hens or pullets. to overcome this tend•
envy to wellness, Another fault which
is rather prevalent :a sonic strains of
Spangles, and other colors as well, is
"white in lobe." In exhibition eoaks .it
•is net seen beeause the birds have been.
dubbed, and rho ear-labe removed, but it
can be seen in the hens. t1. is a fault
that is somewhat diffu:tt'.t to eradicate,
but it is • one that shout' 'be stamped
out whenever it mats its appearance,
because it is a great d asbaelc'to a bird,
and there is no comparison between a
bird with a ri'eh, red lobe asst en•e Which
shows "white in lobe. '

THE INTRICACIES O1' BREEDING.
Pyles can be bred by matching n black
breasted red or a ginger cock to a white
hen, and although i.he majority of the
first cross may Come pure white, if the
white pullets are mated to a black
breasted red or ginger cock the result
from this second eros,dm;; will be Pyles,
although it i4 pos,ibi' some of the pul-
lets may be Clays or Wheateas, and
some of the cockerels (or stags. Ht' they
are called by the old eehool of breeders)
Gingers.
In breeding for esltibition it is neees-
sary to breed birds as true to color as
possible; but in awarding prizes a com-
petent judge will lay more stress on the
handling, drape and carriage of a bird
than the markings, color of eyes and
color of legs. Light or daw eyes are by
some judges considered a disqualifica-
tion, whilst others are indifferent as to
the color of n bird's eye, if the game
properties are good, but I admit that a
large prominent red eye is a great set-
off to any bird. Among the black -
breasted Reds, Pyles, Whcatens and
Whites will be found birds with bright
red eyes, while others have light or al-
most white eyes; the latter are termed
daw-eyed on account of the color closely
eesemhling the eyes of a jackdaw.
VALUABLE Pi1()P1;:1tT1 ES.
At the present day, shape. style and
feather aro far more important in old
English game bantam than extrema
correctness of color, and breeders are
devoting more attention to these points
than they are to those of color. By -and -
bye, when the breed has become more
firmly established, there is not much
doubt that we shall find old English
game bantam breeders just as eareful
and particular regarding color points
es are the modern game bantam breed-
ers, but that time is not yet.
in some parts of the country the judg-
ing of the old English game bantam is
far from satisfactory. Many of the
Woos aeetn to overlook the fact that
the bird is a game fond., and that game
shape and style must take a foremost
place. Many all-around judges select
small, low, squatty birds for the prizes,
"broad -set" they style them, and if they
ate wide in front and 'short on the log;
the important points of carriage, short-
ness of back, color and feather, received
very, secondary consideration. This is
wrong; the eke English game bantam
is a game fowl, and ttliottld be so judged.
