Significance or tlio Wisdom nnd Splendor
or Solomon Too Much Humdrum In
Ckurchca True Keltclnn Ncrcr
Gloomy More Spice Needed.
Tn a recent jsermon at Brooklyn Rev.
T. P, Vitt Talmagc took for his sub
ject' .lunulrtiin Abolished," and his
text was from II. Chronicles, ix. 0: "Of
spices great abundance; neither was
tliere any such spice as the queen of
Sheba gave King Solomon." Dr. Tal
ma ge said:
What is that building out yonder
glistening' in the sun? Have you not
heard? It is the house of the forest of
Lebanon. King Solomon has just taken
to it his bride, the princess of Egypt.
Vrm see the pillows of the portico, and
a groat tower, adorned with 1,000
shields of gold, hung on the outside of
the tower r.QO of the shields of gold
manufactured at Solomon's order, 500
were capturned by David, his father,
in battle. See how they blaze in the
noonda3 sun!
Solomon goes up the ivory stairs of
his throne, between twelve lions in
statuary, and sits down on the back of
the golden bull, tho head of the bronze
beast turned toward the people. The
family and attendants of the king are
so many that the caterers of the palace
have to provide every day 100 sheep
and thirteen oxen, besides the birds
and the venison. I hear the stamping
and pawing of -1,000 line horses in the
royal stables. There were important
oflieials who had charge of tho work of
gathering the straw and the barley for
these horses. King Solomon was an
early riser, tradition says, and used to
take a ride out at daybreak; and when,
in his white apparel, behind the swift
est horses of all the realm, and fol
lowed by mounted archers in purple,
the cavalcade dashed through the
streets of Jerusalem, I suppose it was
something worth getting up at 5 o'clock
in the morning to look at
Solomon was not like some of the
kings of the present day crowned im
boeility. All the splendor of his palnee
and retinue were eclipsed by his intel
lectual power. Why, he seemed to
know everything. lie was the first
great naturalist the world ever saw.
IVacocks from India strutted the ba
saltic walk, and apes chattered in the
trees, ami deer stalked the parks, and
there were aquariums with foreign fish,
and aviaries with foreign birds; and
tradition sajs these birds were so well
tamed that Solomon might walk clear
across the city under the shadow of
their wings as they hovered and flitted
about him.
More than this, he had a great repu
tation for the conundrums and riddles
that he made und guessed. lie and
King Hiram, bin neighbor, used to sit
by the hour and ask riddles, each one
paying in money If he could not answer
or guess the riddle. The Solomonic
navy visited all the World and the sail
ors of eourse talked about the wealth
of their king, and about the riddles and
enigmas he made and solved; and the
news spread until Queen Italkis, away
oil south, heard of it, and sent mes
sengers with a few riddles she would
like to have Solomon solve, and a few
puzzles which she would like to have
him find out She sent among other
things to King Solomon a diamond with
a hole so small that a needle could not
penetraty it, asking him to thread that
diamond. And Solomon took a
worm and put it at the opening
in the diamond, and the worm crawled
through, leaving the thread in the dia
mond. The queen also sent a goblet to
Solomon, asking him to fill it with
water that did not How from the sky,
and that did not rush out from the
earth; and immediately Solomon put a
slave on the back of a swift hore and
galloped him around the park until the
horse was nigh exhausted, and from
the perspiration of the horse the goblet
wa-s tilled. She also sent King Solomon
five hundred boys in girls' dress, and
five hundred girls in boys' dress, won
dering if he would be cute enough to
lind out the deception. Immediately
, Solomon, when he saw them wash their
faces, knew from the way they applied
the water that it was all a cheat
Queen lialkis was m pleased with the
aeifteness of Solomon, that she said:
"I'll just go and see him for myself."
Yonder it comes the cavalcade horses
and dromedaries, chariots and chariot
eers, jingling harness and clattering
hoofs and blazing shields, and flying
ensigns, and clapping cymbals. The
place is saturated with tho perfume.
She brings cinnamon, and saffron, and
calamus, and frankincense, and all
manner of sweet spices. As the retinue
stieeps through the gate the armed
guard inhale the aroma. "Halt!" cry
the charioteer.-, as the wheels grind tho
gravel in front of the pillared portico
of the king. Queen Italkis alights in an
atmosphere bewitched with perfume
As the dromedaries are driven up to the
king's storehouses, and the bundles of
camphor are unloaded, and the sacks of
cinnamon, and tho boxes of spices are
opened, the purveyors of the palace dis
cover what my text announces: "Of
spices great abundance; neither was
there any such spices as the queen of
Sheba gave to King Solomon."
Well, my friends, you know that all
theologians agree in making Solomon a
t pe of Christ, and making the queen
of Sheba a typo of every truthseeker,
and I shall take the responsibility of
saying that all the spikenard and cassia
and frankincense which the queen of
Sheba brought to King Solomon am
mightily suggestive of the s"wcet spices.
of our holy religion. Christianity is
not a collection of sharp technicalities
and angular facts and chronological
tables and dry statistics. Our religion
is compared to frankincense and to cas
bia, but never to nightshade. It is a
bundle of myrrh. It is a dash of holy
light It is a sparkle of cool fountains.
It is au opening of opaline gates. It is
a collection oi apices. uuum uou
that wc were wise in taking spices to
our Divine King as Queen Ilalkis was
wise in taking spices to the earthly
Solomon! What many of us most need
is to have the humdrum driven out of
our life and the humdrum out of our
religion. The American and English
and Scottish church will dio of hum
drum unless there be a change.
An editor from San Francisco a few
weeks ago wrotcme saying he was get
ting up for his paper a symposium from
many clergymen, discussing among
other Ihings "Why do not people go to
church?" and he wanted my opinion
and I gave it in one sentence: Teople
do not go to church, because they can
not stand the humdrum. The fact is
that most people have so much hum
drum iu their worldly calling that they
do not want to have added the humdrum
of religion- We need in all our ser
mons and exhortations and songs and
prayers more of what Queem Balkis
brought to Solomon, namely, more
spice. The fact is that the duties and
cares oi tnis me, coming to usxrom
time to time, are stupid often,
and inane, and intolerable. Here
are men who hare been bar
tering, and negotiating, climbing,
pounding, liammering for twenty years,
forty years, fifty years. One great long
i drudgery has their life been. Their
Ifaces anxious, their feelings benumbed,
their days monotonous. W hat is nec-
sary to brighten up that man s life,
and to sweeten that acid disposition,
and to put sparkle into that man's
spirits? The spicery of ouf holy re
ligion. Why, if between the losses of
life there dashed a gleam pf an eternal
gain; if between the betrayals of life
there came the gleam of the undying
friendship of Christ; if in dull times in
business wc found ministering spirits
flying to and fro in our office, and store,
nnd shop, evcry-day life, instead of be
ing a stupid monotone, would be a glo
rious inspiration, penduluming be
tween calm satisfaction and high rap
ture. How any woman keeps house with
out the religion of Girist to. help her is
a mystery to me. To have to spend
the greater part of one's -life, as many
women do, in planning for the meals,
in stitching garments that will soon be
rent again, and deploring breakages
and supervising tardy subordinates,
and driving off dust that soon again
will settle, and doing the same tiling
day in and day out and year in and
year out, until their hair silvers and
the back stoops nnd the spectacles
crawl to the eyes, and the grave breaks
open under the thin sole of the shoe
O, it is a long monotony!
lint when Christ comes to tho draw
ing room, and comes to the kitchen,
and comes to the nursery, and comes to
the dwelling, then how cheery becomes
all womanly duties She is never alone
now. Martha gets through fretting
and joins Mary at tho feet of Jesus.
All day long Deborah is happy becanse
she can help Lapidoth; Hannah, be
cause she can make a coat for young
Samuel; Miriam, because sho csn watch
her infant brother; Rachel, because she
can help her father water the stock;
the widow of Sareptn, because the crime
of oil is being replenished 0, woman,
having in your pantry a nest of boxes
containing all kinds of condiments why
have you not tried in your heart and
life the spicery of our holy religion?
"Martha! Martha! thou art careful and
troubled aliont many things; but one
thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen
that good part which shall not be taken
awa3 from her."
I must confess that a great deal of
the religion of this day is utterly In
sipid. There is nothing piquant or ele
vating about it Men and women go
around humming psalms in a minor
key, and culturing melancholy, nnd
their worship has in it more siglis than
rapture. We do not doubt their piety.
O, no. Hut they are sitting at a feast
where the cook has forgotten to season
the food. Everything is lint in their
experience and in their conversation.
Emancipated from sin, and death, nnd
hell, and on their way to a magnificent
Heaven, they act as though they were
trudging on toward an everlasting
Botany Bay. Religion does not seem
to agree with them. It seems to catch
in tho wind-pipe nnd become a tight
strangulation instead of an exhilara
tion. All the infidel books that
have been written, from Voltaire
down to Herbert Spencer, have not
done so much damage to our Christian
ity as our lugubrious Christians Who
wants a religion woven out of the
shadows of the night? Why go growl
ing on your way to celestial enthrone
ment? Come out of that cave and sit
down in the warm light of the sun of
righteousness Away with your odes
to melancholy and Hervey's "Medita
tions Among the Tombs"
Then let our Honys abound,
And otcry tear !o dry;
Wu'ro uitirrliiiiK through Emmanuel's
ground
To falror worlds on lilgli.
I have to say, also, that we need to
put more spice nnd enlivenment in our
religious teaching; whether it be in the
prayer meeting, or in the Sabbath
school, or in the church. We ministers
need more fresh air and sunshine in
our lungs und our heart and our hend.
Do you wonder that the world is so far
from being converted when you find so
little, vivacity in the pulpit and in the
pew? We want, liko tho Lord, to plant
in our sermons and exhortations more
lilies of the field. Wo want fewer
rhetorical elaborations nnd fewer ses
quipedalian words; and when we talk
about shadows, wc do not want to say
adumbration; and when wc mean
queerness we do not want to talk about
idiosyncracies; or if a stitch in the back
wo do not want to talk of lumbago:
but, in the plain vernacular preach that
gospel which proposes to make all men
happy, honest victorious and free. In
other words we want moro cinnamon
and less gristle.
More than that wc want more life
and spice in our Christian work. The
poor do not wantso much to be groaned
over as sung to. W.th the bread and
medicines and the garments yon give
them let there be an accompaniment of
smiles and brik encouragement Do
not stand and talk to them about tho
wretchedness of their alode and the
hunger of their looks and the hardness
of their lot Ah! they know it better
than you can tell them. Show them
the bright side of the thing, if there be
any bright side. Tell them good times
will coma Tell them thnt for the
children of God there is immortal res
cue. Wake them up out of their sto
lidity by an inspiring laugh, and while
you send in help, liko the Queen of
Sheba also send in the spices
We need more spice and enlivenment
in our church music Churches sit dis
cussing whether they shall have choirs
or precentors or organs or bass-viols
or cornets; I say, take that which will
bring out the most inspiring music. If
we had half as much zeal and spirit in
our churches as we have in the songs
of our Sabbath schools it would not be
long before the whole earth would
quake with the coming God. Why, in
most churches nine-tenths of tho peo
ple do not sing; or they sing so feebly
that the people at their elbows do not
know that they are singing.
I promise a h'gh spiritual blessing to
any one who will sing so heartily that
the people all around can not help but
sing Wake up! all the churches from
Bangor to San Francisco, and across
Christendom. It is not a matter of
preference: it is a matter of religious
duty. Soft, long drawn out music, is
appropriate for the concert; but St
John gives an idea of tho sonorous and
resonate congregational singing appro
priate for churches when, in listening
to the temple service of Heaven, he
says: "I heard a great voice as the Toee
of a great multitude, and as the voice
of many waters, and as the voice of
mighty thunderings. Hallelujah, for
the Lord God omnipotent reigneth."
Join with me in a crusade, giving me
not only your hearts, but the mighty
uplifting of your voices and I believe
we can, tnrough Christ s grace, sing
fifty thousand souls into the kingdom
of Christ Would that Queen Balkis
would drive all her spiee-laden drome
daries into our church music. "Xeithar
was there any such spice as the queen
of Sheba gave King Solomon."
.Now I want to impress this audience
with the fact that religion is sweetness
and perfume, and spikenard, and saf
fron, and cinnamon, and cassia and
frankincense and aU sweet spices to
gether. The religion of Christ is a
present and everlasting redolence. It
counteracts all trouble. Just put it on
the stand beside the pillow of sickness.
It catches in the curtains and perfumes
the stifling air. It sweetens the-cup of
bitter medicine and throws a glow on
the gloom of the turned lattice. It is a
balm for the aching side and a soft
bandage for the "temple staatr with
.. 0 1. - .
pain. It is good xor rtieusiatlsai, and
for neuralgia, and fcr low spirits, and I
for consumption; it is the catholicon for
all disorder. Yes, it will heal all yemr
sorrows.
Why did you look so sad to-day whe
you came in? Alas! for the loneliaeat
and the heartbreak, and the load that
is never lifted from your souL Some of
you go about feeling like Macaulay
when he wrote: "If I had another
month of such days as I bare been
spending, I would be impatient to get
down into my little Harrow crib in tho
ground like a weary factory child.
And there hare been times in your life
when you wished you could get out of
this life. I see all around about me
widownood, and orphanage, and child
lessness sadness, disappointment, per
plexity. If I could ask alt those to rise
in this aadience who hare felt no sor
row, and been buffeted by no disap
pointment if I conld ask all such to
rise, how many would risi? Not one.
A widowed mother with her little
child, went west, hoping to get better
wages there; and she was taken sick
and died. The overseer of the poor got
her body and put it in a box, and put It
in a wagon, and started down the street
toward the cemetery at full trot The
little child the only child ran after it
through the streets bareheaded crying:
"Bring me back ray mother! bring mo
back my mother!" And it was said
that as the people looked on and saw
her crying after that which lay in the
box in the wagon all she loved on
earth it is said the whole village was
in tars And that is what a greiit
many of you are doing chasing the
dead. Dear Lord, is there no appeavj
ment for all this sorrow that I see
about me? Yes, the thought of resur
rection and reunion far beyond this
scene of struggle and tears "They
shall hunger no more, neither thirst
any more, neither shall the sun light
on them nor any heat; for the Lamb
which is in the midst of the throne
shall lead them to living fountains of
water, and God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes"
Across the conches of your sick and
across the graves of your dead I fling
this shower of sweet spices Queen
Italkis, driving up to tho pillared por
tico to tho house of cedar, carried no
such pungency of perfume as exhales
p-day from the Lord's garden. It is
peace, it is sweetness it is comiort
It is infinite satisfaction, this gospel I
commend to you.
Some one could not understand why
an old German Christian scholar used
Jo be always so calm and happy and
hopeful, when he had so many trials
and sicknesses and ailments A man
secreted himself in the house. He said:
"I mean to watch, this old
scholar nnd Christian;" and ho
saw the old Christian man o
to his room and sit down on the
chair beside the stand and open the
Biblo and begin to read. He read on
and on, chapter after chapter, honr Hf
ter hour, until his face is all aglow with
tho tidings from Heaven, and when the
clock struck 12 he arose and shut his
Bible and said: "Blessed Lord, we nro
on the same old terms yet Good-night,
good-night" Oh, you Bin-parched and
j'ou trouble-pounded, here is comfort,
here is satisfaction. Will you come and
get it? I cannot tell you what the Lord
offers you hereafter so woll as I can
tell you now. "It doth not yet appear
what we shall be." .
Have you read of tho Taj Mahal in
India, in some respects the most ma
jestic building on earth? Twenty thou
sand men were twenty years in build
ing it It cost about SIO.000,000. Tho
walls arc of marble, inlaid with cornel
ian from Bagdad, and turquoise from
Thibet, and jasper from tho l'unjaub,
and amethyst from Persia, and all
manner of precious stones. A traveler
says that it seems to him like the shin
ing of an enchanted castle of burnished
silver. The walls are 215 feet high,
and from the top of these springs a
dome thirty more feet high, thnt
dome containing the most won
derful echo the world has
ever known, so thnt ever and
anon travelers standing below with
flutes,, nnd drums and harps, are test
ing that echo, and tho sounds, from be
low strike up nnd then come down as il
were the voices of angels nil around
about the building. There is around it
a garden of tamarind, and banyan, and
palm, and all the floral glories of the
ransacked earth. But that is only a
tomb of a dead empress and it is tame
compared with the grandeurs which
God has bnilded for your living and
immortal spirit O, home of the
blessed! Foundations of gold! Arches
of victory! Capstones of praise! And
a dome in which there are echoing and
re-echoing the hallelujahs of the ages
And around about that mansion
is a garden the garden of God and
all the springing fountains are the bot
tled tears of the church in the wilder
ness and all the crimson of the flowers
is the deep hue that was caught up
from the carnage of earthly martyr
doms and the fragrance Is the praver
of all the saints and the aroma puts in
to utter forgetfulncss the cassia and
the spikenard, and the frankincense,
and the world renowned spices which
the Queen Balkis of Abyssinia, flung at
the feet of King Solomon.
When shall thoso eyes thy heaven built
W.lll
And pearly ffntet behold.
Thy bulwarks with ileal ion strong,
And streets of shining gold?
Through obduracy on our part and
through the rejection of that Christ
who makes Heaven possible, I wonder
if any of us will miss that spectacle? I
fear! I fear! The queen of the south
will rise up in judgment against this
generation and condemn it because she
came from the uttermost parts of the
earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
and behold, a greater than Solomon is
herel
May God grant that through your
own practical experience you may find
that religious ways are w ays of pleas
antness and that all her paths arc
paths of peace; that it is pcrfnmo now
and perfume forever. And there was
an abundance of spice; "neither was
there any such spice as the queen of
Sheba gave to King Solomon."
Koeelpts or Pmllwaa Car Porter.
"I run between Jersey City and Chi
cago," said a Pullman car porter, "and
how much do you suppose I made last
month? Seventeen dollars and a half.
Of course. I didn't get in quite a f ult
month, but was on the road over half
the time, just the same. A porter, when
he runs a full month, can sometimes
make as much as thirty or thirtr-fira
dollars. If he makes any more it is be
cause lots of people are traveling on
passes or because he is lucky at policy.
Men who travel on passes are the most
liberal. There was a time when a
porter could make seventy-flra. dollars,
and I used to know a porter who made
one hundred and sixty dollars? in a
month. That's the highest I ever heard
of a porter making: In the east a porter
seldom gets more than a quarter frost a
passenger, bo nutter how far he runs
or how much work he does. Porters ia
the west make the most mosey, nnd
especially those on emigi-aat ears,
which west of Omaha arepatroaised by
a good class of people. There's nothing
in being a porter in the east any more."

BOYD OUSTED.
The Hnpreme Court of Nebraska Peebles
Gov. Hoyd Inelllglble anil Awards the
Office- to Thayer.
Lincoln, Neb., May . Just before
the adjournment of the supreme court
yesterday afternoon a decision was
handed down in tho Thayer-Boyd
gubernatorial quo warranto case, a
judgment of ouster being rendered
against Gor. Boyd in favor of cx-Gov.
Thayer.
The opinion was written by Judge
Norval, Judge Cobb concurring but
Judge Maxwell dissenting.
Council for Gov. Boyd announced that
they would at once apply for a super
sedeas for the purpose of taking the
case on a writ of error to the I'nited
States supreme court They claim that
tho question of naturalization is a fed
eral one, and they arc confident of suc
cess in the court of last resort
The writ of ouster was served on
Got. Boyd about 5 o'clock. He received
it calmly and said: "I am ready to turn
over tho oflice now."
Got. Boyd's attorney, John I). Howe,
of Omaha, who had just arrived, re
quested him to wait a moment till he
went to the court room to tile a motion
for a stay, but as the judgment had al
ready been entered and the writ served
it was too late.
Gor. Boyd accordingly turned orer
the office to Gov. Thayer, who had
in the meantime taken the oath of office
and filed his bond.
The decision on the whole may be
said to be a surprise, as the opinion was
that in event of the ousting of Gov.
Boyd Licut-Gov. Majors would be
named as the successor.

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
The MoraaafM IHaatnJ f a rkrilfbal
TWory f MyUaaa.
"Did yoa ever notice the fact that
when a person's salad is concentrated
apod a certain subject that the person
will usually, unintentionally ami an
kuowinglr, imitate the actions of oth
err This curioasquejtkm was propounded
by a well known phydcian who ha
made a special study of hypnotism and
kindred subjects, while he and I wcw
awaiting the arrival of a boat at Cort
laadl ferry several days ago.
I replied in the negative, and further
asserted that 1 woald not believe his
theory or statement until 1 had wit
nessed a practical illustration.
Well," continued the physician,
"the statement is true, and if you will
watch my actions and those of the -other
Iersons present you will be somewhat
surprised. You see they are all in con
versation, reading p.-qwrs or thcit
thoughts are concentrated upon some
subjects Now I propose to start every
one of them walking around the build
ing, and I will do it before five minute
have elapsed."
There were about ten or a dozen be
lated clerks and business men in tht
ferry house, all with the same purpose
as ourselves. Some were perusing the
ercning newspapers, others were eon
versing among themselves and several
of them were leaning carelessly against
the wall, their hands in their pockets,
smoking cigars, whil their faces
that peculiar, vacant expression as
sumed generally when a erMn
thoughts are on some incident of the
day or business transaction of the mor
row. The physician clasped his hands le
hind his back, and with his head tx'iit
forward as though iu deep thought, be
legan with a slow step to pace up and
down the room. No attention, what
ever, at first, was apparently paid to his
actions on the part of the persons pres
ent for several minutes. Then a pale,
sickly-looking young clerk left his seat,
and without even looking in the direc
tion of the physician begun a walking
match of his own. A florid man about
fort y years old, who had leen engaged
in smoking a fragrant cigar while lean
ing against the ferry railing, unbut
toned his coat and followed the clerk.
Two men who had licen conversing near
the gangway turned and U'gan pacing
the floor, at the same time continuing
their talk.
Four others had Wen reading and
these one by one left their seats and
followed the example sej. by the phy
sician. Kvery inrin present had begun to
walk tin and down the nom. I looked
at the clock and found that the phy
sician had accomplished his task, und
that he did it in four minutes.
"You are satisfied now, I presume?"
"Yes."
"Well, wait a moment, nnd I will
stop them."
The physician strolled out into the
center of the room, coughed loudly, and
then walked over to one of the seats
and sat down. The clerk, who appeared
to U one of those young men who grasp
at an idea as a drowning man grasps at
a straw, immediately followed stilt, and
in trVe'miiiutes more every man had re
sumed The position he occupied Iveforo
the physician began his extraordinary
experiment
Then; happened to Iks one young
woman present who regarded the phy
sician attentively, but failed to leave
her scat or to have apparently noticed
what had hapjnMied. When tho loat
arrived I inquired of the physician how
it hapiened that he failed to control her
as he had the men.
"In the first place," said ho, "women
lack power of concentration aud con
tinuity of thought as a general rule, anil
for tins reason mey are more or Jess
conscious of their surroundings. A
woman is self-conscious, and lndieves
herself to Im-, whether she is or not, the
person most observed in the room. Con
sequently she seldom gets into what is
known commonly as a 'brown study'
when in public places. A man, on the
contrary, when alone, is usually plan
ning something, and Is unconscious of
his surroundings. Then, unless there
is some strong reason to prevent it ho
will, to a certain extent imitate tho
action of others." """
I havo trietl the experiment ainco
with success.

Wooden Itreail.
A substitute for barytes in the matter
of adulterated flour has been invented
iu Delaware. It is simply pulverized
wood. Think of eating wooden bread!
But it is not at all improbable that ere
long wc shall unconsciously le eating
sawdust lute beech trees are used.
The wood has no flavor or-color and is
hard and dry. The bark is peeled off,
and the logs put on a carriage, which
forces them against a cutting machine
shaped like a pencil sharpener, except
that it has five or six knives instead of
on The knives revolve at the rate of
from "00 to SOO revolutions a minute,
and the log is soon cut into fine shav
ings. After these are thoroughly dried
they are put into a hopper and ground
the same as wheat or corn. The flour
comes out as fine and fragrant as from
fine wheat and is put in bags without
any marking on. except a tag with the
address, and sent to New York. The

An imitation of Nature
that's the result you want
to reach. With Dr. Pierced
Pleasant Pellets, you have it.
They cleanse and renovate the
whole system naturally. That
means that they do it thor
oughly, but mildly. They're
the smallest in size, hut the
most effective sugar-coated,
easiest to take. Sick Head
ache, Bilious-Headachc, Con
stipation, Indigestion, Bilious
Attacks, and all derangements
of the Liver, Stomach and
Bowels are prevented, relieved,
and cured. Purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless, and gently
laxative, or an active cathar
tic, according to size of dose.
As a Liver Pill, they've been
imitated, but never equaled.
