Bethany.-13ethany means "House of Dates," or "Woe of Comfort." It was a gine beautifully aituated about two =lea eautheast of Jerusalera on the eastern slope of the mount of Olives, It waa otten visitea by Chriet and it Was here that He spent eeveral nights of the memorable passion week'.

"According to a tradition eimon was the father of Lazarus; according to the feast, and the risen figure at this entertain- ment. Martha seems to have had the entire supervhdon of the feast, and the risen Lazarus was abnost as much an object of curiosity as Jesus Himself. In In short, so many thronged to see Laz- arus, that the entente which had been performed on las behalf caused many to believe on Jesus." -Farrar. Lazarus - At the table. The supper was probably the next day after Jesus' arrival, after the close of the Jewish Sabbath, which ended at sunset. It was the special fes- tive meal of the Sabbath, The words seem to indicate that the meal was a public one, as if the people of Bethany had combined to do him this honor, and so share the privilege of attending the feast-Edersheim. How long he lived we do not know. IL Mary anoints the Saviour (v. 3). A pound -This was a Roman pound of twelve ounces. Ointment -By the oint- ment we are to understand rather a liquid .perfume than wilat we commonly know as ointment -Schaff. Spikenard -An aromatic herb imported from Arab - la and India. Very costly -It was worth three hundred pence or derma, silver tone worth fifteen to seventeen tents Quit; hence the ointment was worth lie- tween forty-five and fifty dollars. This would be equivalent to ten times that amount at the present time. Anointed the feet -The perfume was in an alabas- ter bottle, or flask, which was made with a, long narrow neck. Mark says "the brake tbe box," or the neck of the flask, The seal which kept the perfume froin evaporating bad net er been removed; it was ou this occasion first opened." Mat- thew says she poured it on his head." "There is manifestly neither contradic- tion nor divergence here between the evangelists. Mary poured the ointment over his head. and. then over his feet. John notices the anointing of the feet, not only as the act of greatest hornlike-, and the mark of deepest veneration, but front its unusual character, while anoint- ing the head was not so uncommon. iseie wbo had so often sat at his feet, now anoints them, and alike for love, rever- ence and fellowship of Ins sufferings, will not wipe them but 'with the hairs of her head."-Eldersheim. The anoint- ing shows her faith in Christ, and her love for Christ. Wiped his feet -When we consider the customs of the people in Christ's time, we readily see that those things which would be highly im- proper among us to -day would, at that time, be very proper. In taking their meals they reclined on one side, thene knees being bent and the feet turd outward behind. "She took 'woman's chief ornament' and devoted it to wip- ing the travel -stained feet of her Lord. It was the utmost possible expression of tier love ancl devotion." House was fill- ed -The house was filled with the odor ef the ointment, and to -day the chute* and. the world are filled -with heavenly fragrancevi wbenever long deeds are per- formed for Christ. IIL The bypocrisy of Judas rebuked (vs. 4-8), 4. Judas Iscariot -Judas be• gam to find fault at what he called a waste. "His nunterings eonvirteed some of the other, disciples, so that they joined with him in the condemnation of the act (see Matthew anti Mark). So often a bad man, working front selfish mo- tives, by plausible areuments gets good men to unite with Inin opposing things that are really good. The wolf puts on the sheep's clothing. Thus usu- ally the opposition to good wears a mask of virtue; religion is opposed in the name of liberty; faith, in the name of free thought; prohibition, in the name of temperance' Peloubet. "Whenever tbere is an act of splendid self -forget- fulness tbere is always a Judas to sneer and murmur at it?' 5. Given to the poor -Mark says they: murmured against the woman, and their words and manner were also a reflection on Christ himself, because he had permitted it to some "How often does charity serve as a eloak for covetousness. God is sometimes rob- bed of his right, under the pretence of devoting what is withhehi to some Aar- itable ptupose, to which there was no intention ever to give it." -Clarke. "This -was the kind of demonstration reserved for princes or persons of great distinc- tion; it was a luxury t hat no emperor till Nero ever indulged in." It is not eurprieing that the disciples, who were plain and poor, should think this an un- due extravagance; but Jesus desired to impress upon them the fact that there is nothing. to precious for hint 6. A thief -Judas Ira 8 bad at heart; be was playing the hypocrite. The bag -The eash box in whieh the funds of the small eompany were kept -Cam. Bib.

"Wag treasurer of the vol- untary offerings of friends ami diset- ides who desired to do something for their master." 7. Let ber alone -This was the language of sharp rebuke. Christ was indignant at the hypocrisy Meth made a pretended consideration of the ' poor an excuse for attacking and eon - denoting an act of love toward biniself. -Abbott. "Why trouble ye the wo- man?" Matthew xxvi. 10 indicates that jades and the others had uttered their complaints to Mary, and that she was troubled by evliat they said.

The young titan's troubles connnenced when he entered upon his course at Cor- nell. He found difficulty in devoting his time to books, and was decidedly averse to "digging." His scholarship dropped accordingly and he found trouble in pass- ing his examinations. His sophomore year found him more averse to wrestle with his studies. Re- fusing at first to heed the counsel and finally the orders of las father, he found hintself hopelesely stranded in his work at the end of the first term and no help- ing hand was extended to guide him past the troublesome e:eamination week. President Schulman then determined to make an example of his own sou, and young Schurnuin was forthwith expelled from the university and told. to earn his own living. According to his own statement to his fellow -workmen, young Schuman wan- dered around the country for a short tuoe and then applied for a job at the Groton Bridge Coznpany's works. He was inexperienced in every line of the work, but when he was told he could begin at the bottom of the ladder, the need of money was ro.greatt that be gladly ac- cepted the job at 7., cents a day. OFFERED TO SELL GOLD. Two Toronto Men Under Arrest in. Buf- falo on Serious Charge. Buffalos N. Y., April 3. -As Detec- tives Devine and Henafelt were walk- ing along Main street to-da,y their at- tention was attracted to a couple of young men standingen front of a jew- elry stole. When the men entered the store tile detectives followed. The ,young fellows went to the emitter and offered for sale an ingot of gold, weighing nearly four pounds, for $500. "We are net buying any gold to -day," said the jeweler. The deteetivee then interrupted. "Vishere did you get that gold' said Devine. "I bought it from a man in St. Louis last summer," said the man who had the ingot. At headquarters the prisoners said they were Sidney Bowers, 21 years old, and Philip Scott. 18 years old, both of Toronto. When separated they bad conflicting stories to tell as to the own- ership of the ingot, and later confessed to acaling the gold. Bowers admitted Ise was a smelter and refiner, and up to last Monday was with the Ray Watch Case Company in Brooklyn.. He said he. had attempted to get away with a gold ingot several days before he finally succeeded. Dar- ing the dinner hour last Monday Bowers seized a chance and made off with the wag. Ile met Scott, and the two eante to Buffalo together on Tuesday, spending the night in an Exchange street hotel. Being without money, they thought to soil the ingot here. The bar of gold is valued at ttbout $1,200. Chief 'raylor has notified the Brooklyn penee. COAL MINERS MAY STRIKE.

BLAME THE GEBItHil OPHIN • Inquiry into .the Albano- - - Prisian Oapt, Johnson's Evidenc Cor- roborated by Others. , Rev. Dr. Kirkpatrick Blamed the Albano. Halifax, April 3.-4.fter Agent Par- sons, of the marine department had over- ruled, the objection token by counsel acting for the owners of aim German steamer Albano, elute Captain liuden- hold, being foreign and holding .tt foreign certificate, the court had no jurisdic- tion ia his ease, the inquiry into the col- lision of the Parisian and Albano -was le - sullied this afternoon. . Captain Johnston, of the Parisian, testified that he obtained a captain's certificate iu 1874, and had held the position of captain for thirty-one years, This Was hie first voyage on the Paris- ian. He had been going to 'sea for forty years in the employ of the Allan leue. When off Halifax harbor, near the auto- matic buoy, on Saturday afternoon last, be saw a pilot boat. The steamer slow- ed down to take the pilot aboard: The pilot boat had come alongside near the starboard bow. Just about that time lie sighted a steamer astern, whick later on proved to be the Albano. 'As the eine was about to be pased to tee pilot the Albano mare steaming up very close to the ship. Ile saw that there was danger and telegraphed orders to the engineer to send the Parisian full speed ahead. Shortly before this the Albano had given three blasts from her whistle, which sig- nal meant that she was going full speed astern.' Soon after the Albano struck the Parisian on the starboard quarter, cutting a hole twenty feet deep by three feet across'the opening being near the jigger -must. Nothing further throwing light on the accident was elicited. The captain's evidence was corroborated in the same ternie by the first aud third officers, who Were on duty at the time of the collision. The mod interesting wit: ness of the day was Rev. Dr. leirkpat- rick, Cambridge prolessor, who positive- ly asserted that the German steamer' was to blame for the collision. He had offered to give evidence because he wanted justice done.
