2. A eon -There were two children
Older than Moses, Miriam (15, 20) who
was probably from eight to ten years
older, and Aaron (7, 2) who was three
yea re older (7, 7). Goodly child --"The
text simply says teat he was good, which
signifies that lie was not only a perfect,
well -formed child, but that lie was very
beautiful. This very circumstance was
wisely ordained by the kind providence
of God to be one means of his preserva-
tion. Scarcely anything interests the
heart more than the sight of a lovely
babe in distrees. Ills beauty would in -
glum even his parents to double their ex-
ertdons to save him, and was probably
the sole native which led the Egyptian
princess to take such particular care of
him, and to educate him as her son,
which in all likelihood she would not
have done had he been only an ordin-
ary child." Hid him -That is, kept
within the house. 3. Ark -A small cov-
ered box or basket. She prepared It for
purpose. Of bulrushes -The papyrus
plant, a thick, strong and tough reed,
which sometimes reaches a height of
from ten to fifteen feet. "The Egyptian
paper was made from its pith; our word
'paper' is derived from the word `papy-
rus.' The rush itself was used for vari-
ous purposes, among others for boat
building, as it appears from the monu-
meats. It would be a very good mater-
ial to use for the purpose to which Joel):
ebed applied it." -Pulpit Com. Slime -
The mud of hte Nile, which, when hard-
ened, is very tenacious. Pitch -"Mineral
tar. Boats o fthis description are seen
daily floating on the surface of the river,
with no other calking than Nile mud
(Isa. 18, 2), and they are perfectly water-
tight unless the coating is forced off by
rtorray weather." Flags -"A general
term for sea or river weed. The 'spot
I e traditionally said to be the Isle of
Rhoda, near Old Cairo."
4. His sister -Miriam. it appears that
Moses had only one sister (Num. 26, 59).
Afar off -So as not to show her anxiety.
To wit, -"To know." -R. V. It was her
duty to see whether Pharoah's daughter
fennel him, and whether he was in dan-
ger from any cause. "No tale of rem -
truce ever described a plot more skilfully
laid or more full of interest in the de-
velopment. The expedient of the ark,
the slime and pitch, the choice •of the
time and place, the appeal to the sensi-
bilities of the female breast, the station-
ing of the sister as a watch of the pro-
ceedings, her timely suggestion of a
nurse, and the engagement of the mother
herself, all bespeak a more than ordin-
ary measure o fingenuity as well as in-
tense solicitude o nthe part Of the par-
enta. But the origin of the scheme was
most probably owing to a divine sugges-
tion, as its success was due to an over-
ruling providence." -J., F. & B.

such as women, in Christian lands do
now, and bathing in the river was a
common practise with them at that,
time." At the river -"The water was

of the alidianites, In the southeastern
part of Arabia, where there was a well
for the watering of flocks. While Moses
was sitting by the well the seven daugh-
ters of Reuel (also called Jethro) came
to water their father's flocks. They had
filled the troughs with water when some
rude shepherds came and drove them
away. At this Moses came to the regime
and made the shepherds stand aside
while he watered the flocks. The result
of this action was that he entered the

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS,
L Moses' mother. 1. Vaith-filled. . "ay
faith Moses, when lie was Came to years,
refused to be called the sou of Pharaoh's
daughter" (Iteb, 11, 24). Was it not
because this godly mother (v. I), during
those mouths while her baby lay so close
to her heart Oa 2), and during .those
three months while he was "hid!" in her
home (v. 3), sent constantly up to the
throne a prayer for her little one? When
Bishop Simpson was a youag man he
went to his mother and said with reluc-
tance and diffidence, "Mother, I feel
impressed that I ought to preach the
gospel." She threw her arms about hm
neck and answered, "My boy, I prayed
for that before you were born," "By
faith Moses, when he was born, was hat
three months of his pa:Seas...and they
were not afraid of the King's command-
ment" (Heb. 11, 23), joehebed was not
nervously anxious at the approach of a
strange footetep, or at the sound of an
unwonted voice, Fear is not faith. She
took every precaution, she told no one
of the advent of the baby boy, she never
exposed him to the public gaze, she
hushed the infant's cry before it left
his lips, but she was "not afraid!' And
when the time came she "brought him
unto Pharaoh's (laughter" (v. 10), and
left him there in the palace of the print'
cess and came away believing God that
the seed sown in his tender heart in
those early years would spring up and
bear abundant fruit. No loving instruc-
tion of a faith -filled mother is ever wast-
ed, "and yet by sonic it is considered a
trifling thing to teach little ones,"
2. Faithful, "The maid went and call-
ed the child's mother.. .and. the Woman
took the child and nursed it" (vs. 8, 9).
Here is a hint that God. means that the
baby's mother shall be the baby's nurse.
There is not a spot on earth nearer to
heaven than a child's cradle. There is
no mission on earth more sacred than the
care of a little child. No duties that are
God-given ever lead a mother to neglect
her child. Above all others, to the little
ones home should be the place of care-
ful training, love, prayer and blessing.
3. Rewarded. Her baby was laid back
in her mother arms, money was provid-
ed for the household necessities, the
boy grew to be one of the great ones
of earth and heaven (Rev. 15. 3), and
Joehebed found a place among the her-
o ee of faith (Heir. 11. 23). "Mother," said
a little boy, "when you get old and. want
sonae one to read to you, I'll pay yon
off." The child's mother read to him a
great deal, especially on the Lord's day.
His own efforts were so slow, he seem,
ed to appreciate how good his mother
was to him And that some time in the
future he might return her kindness. "Pll.
pay you off, mother," he cried with
childish satisfaction. Little one, do you
know the only way in which you can
ever pay off mother? By loving Jesus
and doing his will and preparing for
heaven, just as little Moses did.
H. Moses' sister. Miriam was patient
and loving (v. 4), willing and faithful
(vs. 7, 8). Thus she was a link between
baby Moses and his Egyptian holm.
Thus the identity of Moses and the
knowledge of the brotherhood of Aaron
became possible, which was of great im-
portance in the later history of both.
The life of Caroline Herschel tells how
large a place a sister may fill. From
dusk to dawn the great astronomer.
would stand at the telescope narrating
the wonders he saw. All through the
winter's night his faithful sister wrote
down his observations until sometimes
the ink froze in her pen. She spent many
hours of the day making the necessary
cauculations. For nearly forty years Her-
schel and his wonderful sister worked
thus together. His many and marvelous
discoveries could never have been made
but for her ministering presence.
III. Mares' protector. God is ever on
the side of the children. He planned a
way of safety for the babe which would
never have occurred to human sagacity;
not by miraculous agencies, but by the
simple, natural instrumentalities of His
providence. God delights to use the weak
and foolish things of this world (1 Ger.
1. 27). He used a baby's beauty (v. 2)'
a woman's faith (v. 3), a tiny ark (v.
3, a sister's love (v. 4), a woman's heart
(a. 5), a baby's tears (v. 6), the cruel
king's own daughter (v. 6). "Nurse it
for me," the princess said, and those
words girt the babe about with safety.
"Every soldier in the land grasped his
weapon now for his defence. All the
wealth of Egypt ministered to his wants.
All the might of Pharaoh availed for his
protection. The poor child of the He-
brews was the son of Pharaoh's daugh-
ter." God's love is over all. God's love
is with all.
6. Saw the child -As soon as sire saw
the child she knew that it was one of
the Hebrew children, for only a Hebrew
mother would have need to hide her
child in this manner. The babe wept -
The sight of a beautiful babe in' distress
could not but fail to make the impres-
sion here mentioned. See v. 2. It has
been conjectured that the cruel edict of
the Egyptian king did not continue long
lit force. See chap. 1. 22. Had compas-
aion--"Thus the babe found a protector
in the very family of the king who de-
creed its death." There was a. great
love and pity shown by thin young wo-
man, very few of those who are kings'
daughters woula thus stoop to show
pity on the child of a slave 7. His sea

some sense the recognized servant of
the princess; but otherwise how would

vant of the royal primness, but she had
the infinite better wages of seeing her

10. *Cato Pharaoh's daughter -"Though
it must have been nearly as severe a
trial for Joehebea to part with him the
second time as tine first, she was, doubt-
less, reconciled to it by her belief in his
high destination as the future deliverer
of Israel." He became her son -ally
adoption; and the lijgh rank afforded
him advantages in education which, in
the providence of God, were made sub-
servient to far different purposes from
what his royal patroness intended." We
can obtain en idea of what his education
was from Acts 7:21, "Being adopted
into the royal family, he was no doubt
received into the priestly caste, arid
knew all the Seeret learning of the
Egyptian priesta. Me experience of
Egyptian life must have been wide."

in aerial flight will take the form of
such improvements as will make possible
the creation of aerial battleships.
"The actual problem of the navigation
of the air has already been solved by
the Wright Bros. Naturally there will
be development along commercial lines,
a feature of which will be a great in-
crease in speed, but the most attention
will be paid to adapting airships to
the purposes of war. My belief is that
America will be the first country to per-
fect aerial battleships. This belief is
based, on inside informaten, and from
the source I get Tenable statements on
which I base my prediction of the eerier
production of an airship of enormous
speed.
"I hope to be able to add mu& to
what is known of aerial flight by ex-
periments at Cape Breen Island this
summer. My problem this year will
be to propel my kites with. a specially
constructed engine of fifteen horse
power, welching 120 pounds. I .hope
•
to get a machine of the heavier-than-air
variety 'that will support a man and
the necessary equipment to operate it
at low rather than high velocity. Last
Dmmiber. I constructed. a vehicle that
supported itself and a. man in a ten -
mile breeze. I now want to fly a ma-
chine carrying an engine of ten or fif-
teen -miles an Mar. If I ean accome
plish this there is hope that the navigat-
ors, or the men who are trying to solve
flight on the bird plan, will be able to
learn to fly. Even a bird ban to learn
to fly, and, as with the Med, one of the
first, considerations is safety, so man
must learn to go slow before ire goes
fast.
"I am confident that it will not be
Icing before flying machine's will be
everywhere. The developments of the
next few, months will be unprecedented,
but the most interesting paint is that
only very few know how near America
is right now to solving a question which
will revolutionize warfare throughout
the world. I mean the construction of
a practical aerial battleship."

ROMANCE Of LAW.

CLERK'S ERROR GIVES NEW YORK
MAN A FORTUNE.
Second Bondholders Were Not Included
in a Suit, and by This Oversight a
Nephew of Russell Sage Makes
Large Gain.
New York, April 29. -Ont of the
musty records of the Federal courts to-
day there came to light through the
filing of an unsatisfied judgment for
$1,500,000 a legal romance disclosing the
fact that through the unaccountable er-
ror of a lawyer's clerk made many
years ago, a fortune of half a million
and over may be restored to its former
owners, with over a million of interest
added. The principal claimant is Rus-
sell Sage Raphael, a godson of the late
financier, and himself a middle-aged
man. His mother and, sisters are in-
terested with him in the litigation.
United States Marshal Henkel re-
turned to -day as unsatisfied a judgment
for $1,680,768.35 against the Wasatch &
Jordan Valley Railroad Company.
Raphael is a resident of Bayonne, N. J.,
and, according to a well -posted lawyer,
the error of a law clerk, or whoever
it was that neglected to include the
second bondholders in the suit, has left
the way open for the heirs to regain
what their father spent the latter years
of his life and the remainder of his de-
pleted fortune in trying to regain.
Raphael owns $080,000 of the issue of
8800,000. Where the remaining $120,-
000 are no one knows.
AGAIN PEACEMAKER.
King Edward Bearer of France's Olive
Branch to the Vatican.
London,Apr-i. 28. -It Wa8 hoped in
high quarters a few days. ago, that a re-
conciliation between. France and the Vat-
ican might be effected through the medi-
ation of King Edward. There is reason
to believe that the matter was carefully
considered in Paris during the King's
visit at tine outset of n% present tour,
and that .preliminary arrangements were
unlade.
It was for this reason that the King
of Italy left Rome to meet King Ed-
ward at Gaeta, so that there would be
ito embarrassment of etiquette over non -
intercourse between the two Sovereigns.
King Edward was then to visit Rome ,in
the absence of King Victor Emmanuel,
and informal mediation with the church
authorities might have been undertaken.
The plan, howeyer, was interfered with
at this paint.
It is hinted that the hitch was due to
it protest of the British Government. It
hardly seems probable that the Liberal
leader feared the effect upon the Non-
conformist .English public of any inter -
coarse between the Sovereign and the
authorities of the Roman Church. The
matter is said to be still in abeyance.
King Edward is spending the interval in
tours of the country in the south of

RAILWAY STOLEN PIECEMEAL,
The Bed of an Irish Railroad Alone
Survived.
London, April 28. -The wholesale
theft of a railway sounds like a large'
order, but it has been accomplished
inn Ireland, amordin,g to a story told
yesterday before the Vice -Regal Com-
mission on Irish Railways, A line
was built between liar and Portunna,
in 1868. The Great Southern and West-
ern . worked the line until 1870, when
it failed to renew the lease.
The neighboring population then stole
the railway. The telegraph lines went
first, and the rails followed in short
order. Then the. gates, buildings, in
fact, the total equmment, were carried
off. In the words of Deputy Lieut.
Trench, up to the present the bed of
the railway alone survived.
This testimony was corrected, how-
ever, as a bridge spanning the River
Brosna, has up to the present escaped. A
man, however, did come down with
cranes and other appliances, intending
to carry off the girders of the bridge,
but the police station happened to be
close by, and the sergeant of police
took it upon himself to prevent the
man from taking the bridge away.

ARCHBISHOP BRUCHESI DENOUNCES
PROCESSION IN MONTREAL.
He Reads Letter From Throne, But the
SOcialists Declare They Have a
Right to Demonstrate.
Montreal, April 28. -The proposed
May Day demonstration by the Socialists
of Montreal was considered sufficiently
serious by the chief exponent of Roman
Catholic authority in this diocese to
justify an episcopal communication to
the faithful of Montreal, protesting
against the demonstration, at High Mass
at St. James' Cathedeal. Ar -did ishop
Bruchesi himself read feom the throne a
letter strongly denouncing the Social-
ists, putting the people on their guard
against their teachings, and protesting
against them parading thfrough 'hire
streets. •
At a meeting of the Socialists, add
this afternoon, with 500 present, half
of whom were Freaoh-Careallane, they
reaffirmed their right to parade. Mr.
St. Martin, tapir leader, intihnaltanal
that Montreal was not so uncivilized
as to prevent such a demonsttartion
when the red flag is flying inn all the
cities of the world.
Antoine Perrault, speaking for the
Laval students, declared there was no
use for any other flags in this coun-
try except the Union Jack and the
Tricolor. The Slociaristsf aroma:vela
were largely in the majority, and in-
cluded Pmenca-Canadians, Poles, Ger-
mans and Italians.

Toronto, April 29. -Some of the mem-

University of Toronto received cable mes-
sages from Dr. Robert A. Falconer from
Naples on Saturday to the effect that
he was returning to Canada. The presi-
dency of the university was the other
day tendered Dr. Falconer. The fact of
his returning to this country instead of
continuing his journey to the Orient is
taken to mean that he will accept the
position that has been offered him.
He would have to come back to place
Iris resignation in the hands of the Pres-
byterian Assembly of Nova Scotia as
prineipel of Pine Hill College if he had
intended accepting the 'presidency in To-
