Over the sea-'ethe Gulf ot Sues, which is the Red Sea of Exidus, is now about one hundred and eighty miles in length and twenty in average width. It anciently, however, extended mulch farther north, reaching within historic times to Lake Timseh, with which it is now connected by the Canal; but its northern extremity has receded, some think, as far as fifty miles, in con- sequence of the rising of the land or the encroachment of the drifting sands of the desert. A large extent of country about the head of the gulf, once com- paratively fertile and populous, 'mania ed as it was abundantly from. the Nile, has thus become an utter wilderness.

There is an attempt on the part of a certain class of Wile expositors !to nattify this miracle and explain it all from natural causes, leaving out the su- pernatural element. But it must be noted that the wind was timed and its direction changed; the pillar blinded the Egyptians and at the same time gave light to Israel; Pharaoh and his people, who knew the sea and the action of the tides much better than Moses, were all drowned, while not a single Israelite perished; the Egyptians themselves de- clared that the Lord was fighting against them.

This was one of the most critical times in Israel's history. Enemies, mountains and sea hemmet) them in. No avenue of escape was iv sight. Moses, unaided, was powerleee tan eseue the troubled multitude. An, exactly the right moment God's votes ‘‘, was heard. He told the people what was to take place within the next few hours. lie went into deal promised deliverance. There are times of distress that come to us all, seasons hi Which we crave light and direction. Enemies pursue us„ impassable barriers are on either side and before us, No voice may come to foretell the outcome in detail, but God has given us promises U and, directions in His word which en- lighten tis as to the course we are to pursue and the outcome. We are assur- ed that a way of escape shall be pro- o vided. The Israelites were without the Ii Bible, which we hew, to enlighten and ei encourage us. They had some knowledge 41 of God's power from Its manifestatio»a whom the worid of Unbelievers would, tremble. IL Action, The knowledge that was graciously imparted to Israel regarding their deliverance would have availed little had they not believed. what God said and acted accordingly. A man may have the knowledge that he is a sinner, ,that God is justly displemteed with him, that Ctrist has made a full atonement I for him, and that he must repent and believe on the Lord :Jesus Christ in order to be saved, yet unless he heartily acts upon tide knowledge he mud continue in his sins. There was a way provided for Israel out of Egyptian oppression, stad they escaped, by acting faith ht God; so we shall escape Satan's cruel bondage by acting upon the truths of God's word. Culture cannot save the soul. One may ' Intro "all knowledge," and yet be desti- tate of the grace of God. We must avoid attempting to substitute knowl- edge for faith and, obedience. Our salva- tion is of the Lord, but we nmet pin ourselves itt the right attitude bean Itt, Protection. Here is one of t most striking illustrations of God's sourcefulness. We are led to wonder the power of God that furnishes a gni so Israel consisting of a pillar of elm by day and a pillar of use by night, In here is a still greater marvel. The clot clement is $o conanned with the fire el anent that the same pillar is cloud, o one side and fire On the other, thie darkness to the Egyptians and. light Israel. The proud and, powerful Egy tian army is successfully hemmed in I a cloud. What an amazing thought! 0: is just as watchful and loving in the pr ttnetion of his people to -day as Ile sv: then. The soldier who wraps his con try's flag about him before the eyes enemies of another nation, and bit them defiance, knows that hi country army is behind, the flag, so behind, ti simple proteetion that God gives II people are the resources of heaven. IV, Triumph. In the fate of this a Wending miracle Israel must have felt their weakness and unworthiness, but they were, nevertheless, triumphant. They had so little to do with their de- liverenee that in must have scented like a, dream to them. God had said, "Stand still, and. see" (v. 13), and "The Lord shall fight for you" (v. 14). When lie says, "See," there is always something of importance and value for us to grasp.

Washington, May 20. -From every State east of the Mississippi River, and from Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana Texas, Minnesota, and the Proviuee of Ontario, Canada, the terrapin scale, the enemy of the peach and other trees has been reported to the Department oi Agriculture. Specimens of the pests from all that territory have been re- ceived. The department in a circu- lar has called attention to the terrapin scale, in consequence of its wide range of food plants, including both wild and cultivated trees, as a dangerous pest, "which may be controlled, but never eradicated." Small, parasitic, four -winged thee are the greatest benefactors in the control of this insect, and a kerosene emulsion has proven an effective remedy. The Govern- ment experts show that lime sulphur wash, so effective with the San Jose scale, and the peach leaf curl, is worth- less for the terrapin scale. 4. TORONTO MiLIS AWARD.

BICYCLE RIDERS IN ENGLAND QUITE AT HER MERCY. Learned Judges Decide That the Foolish Bird May Dismount Riders if She Wants to so Long as She Does Not Get the Habit. London, May 19.-Wheelmen general- ly are likely to be interested in the de. vision of the King's Beech Divisional Court in the hen -bicycle case. A hen scratching worms at the side of a public road was frightened by a dog and flew across the highway into the spokes- of a bicycle on which a young man was taking a holiday spin. The bicyclist was thrown on hie bead and badly hurt. The uuteldne was ruined. The bicyclist sued the owner ef the hen for damages. In the County Court the judge found for the defendant, holding that m order for the plaintiff to recover he must show either,that it is the usual habit of hens to fly into the spokes of bicycles or that the hen in question had acquired that habit. There was no evidence of either sort, and. therefore it could not be alleged that the owner of the hen should have kept her chained or locked up in order to prevent the hen from in- terfering with the sports of bicyclists. The plaintiff, not satisfied with this decision, carried the ease to the Divis- ional Court, but the two learned judges of that court sustained the County Court judge, So, as the law stands to- day, he who rides a wheel on English hiehways is pretty much at thm e ercy of"the highway hen.

Pettibone, in the conspiracy which, it is chargea, compassed that murder. I visited, Or- cherd in the State penitentiary, which lies close under the foothills, alma two miles from the city. Newspaper men have not been permitted to -see and talk with him slime his arrest at Cald- well on January 1, 1900, and many and persistent nutters have gone abroad as to his ill -health, some of the reports even declaring that his mind was failing or that he was already insane. The reports are absolutely without foundation.. Orchard looks to -day the picture of health. his eye is bright and his movements quick and sure. His manlier is altered and las mind entirely sane and intelligent. He discussed a variety of subjects this morning with li ely interest, ready humor and keen perception of the point. Orchard bore himself exceedingly well, and maintain- ed throughout a composure that was not without dignity, and from both de- meanor and talk there Was irresistibly a feeling in him of serenity and sincer- ity. The fact is that Harry Oreaerd, now in the penitentiary, is a very differ- ent lean from the one arrested :n Cald- well. The quiet, regular life he has led 'since then has made a considerable dif- ference in his physically, but it has given him opportunity for a far greeter change mentally. The luau I saw this morning is one who has squared tic - counts with himself, has laid, down a de- finite course of action, and means to carry it out thoroughly and faithfully to Um end, whatever that end may be, or whatever it may cost him. Altogether the make-up is that of mei oho is his own man, and it is slittr,pa ing to see him and hear him talk i of the terrible story he is understood to be ready to tell. But he himself ex- plains the motive and extent of the change, not directly, and in so many words, but nevertheless effectively. He has become a religious enthusiast, Whe- ther he has adopted any particular creed or not, or has become it member of :my church, he does not specify. The line of his reading gives an inkling, ant that is all, but it does appear that he has turned his back on his old asemeatas and, beliefs, and that the influence ot us, new life is actuating him in thetotase he will follow in the pending trial for the murder of Gov. Steuenberg. GRAVE CHARGL MAN ACCUSED OP SENDING INDE- CENT LETTERS TO GIRL, A Toronto despatch: George R.
