A man - Ina mane for his life, and he went to the borders ttVite, Abraliam alld hie wife's name was doebelared (Exoce. 0, 20; Num. 26, 00), Houee of Levi -Taus Moses' parenta were both Of t1ie. tribe of Levi. "Ae a new law Vas to be given and a new priest- hood formed, God chose a religious fain - out of which the lawgiver and the haell priest were both to spring!' 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. 5. Daughter of Pharaoh -It has been estimated that nire was about sixteeen Sean, of age at thistime, and that Moses was born in the sixth year of the taiga of Thomases II. To bathe (IL V.) -"The women of Egypt are now kept jealously seoluded in harems, and it is not customary for them to bathe iii the Nile. But it has been shown that the women of ancient Egypt were quite unrestrained, and had liberties), 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 there fenced off as a protection from the cr000diles, and doubtless the prin- cess bad an eseliusre reserved for her own use, the road. to which seems to have been known to Jochebed." Walked along -Hence the discovery of the ark wale not made by them, but by the pan - ca reveal, a providential circumstance, as it led her to a personal interest in the balm.--Johnsan. Sent her hand- maid (R. V.) --Her immediate attend- ant. 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 strvice of Jethro, and married hie daugh- ter Zipperala 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.

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."

London, April 28. -Dr. Alexander Graham -Bell said to -night that it was only a question of a brief period when the progress of aerial navigation would make. it possible to have dinner in Am- erica and. breakfast the next morning in Europe, covering the distance flATOss the Atlantic in eonsideeably less than twenty-four hours. "My expectation," said, Dr. Bell, "Is thee an airship will be perfected capable of making 150 to 200 miles an hour. My opinion, however, is that the next step 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." Dr. Bell is here to receive the degree of doctor of science at Oxford on May 3rd. Wright Brothers Dickering With Ger- many.

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 [truly. • * 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. •••••••••• CONDUCTOR TURNBULL KILLED. --• Feet Caught in a Frog at Dauphin, Man. -Thrown Under Wheels.

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.
