Everybody woro tliolr company man ners to tho breakfast tablo tho flmt tlmo In tho wholo history of tho homo when company mauncra had graced lo initial meal of tho day. Being Joaaant at auppor was oaBy enough, tuut Nancy used to say, for every ono five tho unreasonably 'cantankerous, and being agreeablp at dinner was not specially difficult; but no ono ehort of a salht could bo ex poet ed to smllo of mornings until sufficient tlmo had Ijeen, given to discover, whethor ono fihad stepped out on tho' wrong or tho bright sldo o'f the bed. t This morning, howover, no tlmo was seeded to domonstrato that everybody fin tho placo had gotten out on tho kappy side of his couch. Even the I'sloaf-and-dumb gardener had untwisted yhls surly temper, and as Abraham entered the dining-room, looked In at tho east window with a conciliatory grm and nod which said plainly ae Cr words: , " "Tis a welcomo Bight Indeed to boo t ono of my own kind around this estab- llshraontl" Hi.

Then, whllo Mrs. Homnn, tho codfc of tho week, went bustling out 'Into Ihd Miction,-Aunt Nancy felt that It devolved upon her to explain hor action. It would never do, sho thought, for her to gain a reputation for self effacement and BwootnenB of disposi tion nt her tlmo of life. "Son, I want yew to understand one thing naow at tho atarU Yow treat us right, ni wu'll treat you right. That's all wo ask o' yow. Miss Ellle, pass tho radishes." "I'll do my bcHt," Abo hastened to nfisuro her. "Hy-guy, that coffeo smells somo kind o' good, don't It? Between tho smell o' tho Btuff an' tho looks o' my cup, It'll bo so tomptln' thnt I'll wlBh I had tho neck of n gl-raffe, an' could tasto It all tho way deown. Angy, I bo nfrald we'll git tho gout a-llyln' so high. Look at this horo cream!" Smiling, joking, his lips luBlstlng upon Joking to cover the natural feel ing of embarrassment Incident to this first meal among tho sisters, but with hta. volco breaking now nnd ngaln with emotion, whllo from tlmo to tlmo he had to Btcnl hta handkerchtot to hla old eyes, Abo passed successfully through tho to hlm-kelaborato break- fasf. And Angy ant In rapt silence, but with her fnco shining so that her quiet was the stillness of eloquence. Once Abo startled them all by rising eienlthlly from tho tablo and seizing tho morning's newspaper, which lay upon tho buffet. "I knowed it!" caviled Lazy Daisy sotto voce to no ono In particular. "Ho couldn't wait for tho news till ho wnB through eatln'I" But Abo had folded tho pnpor Into a stout w.eapon, and, creeping toward the window, de spatched by a quick, adroit movement a fly which had alighted upon tho scroen. "I hate tho very sight o' them air pesky crlttere," ho explained half apologetically. "Thar, thar'a another one," and slaughtered thnt. "My, but yow kin got 'era, can't yow?" spoke Miss Abigail admiringly.

But Abo protested that ho could not eat another bito unloBs ho should get up and run around tho house Jto "Joggle deown" whnt ho had already swallowed. He leaned back In his chair and surveyed tho family: on his right, generous-hearted Blossy, who had been smiling approval nnd en couragement at him all through tho re past; at ma ion, anu just uoyona Angy, Miss Abigail Indulging In what remained on the dlBhes now that she discovered tho others to have finished; Aunt Nnncy keenly watching him from tho hoad of tho board; and all tho othor 'BlBtera "betwixt an' between," Ho caught Mrs. Homan's cyo where she stood In the doorway leading Into tho kitchen, and remarked pleasantly: "Ma'am, yow oughter set up a pan cake shop In 'York. Yew could moke a fortune nt It. I hain't bad sech a meal o' vlttles sence I turned fifty yeur o' ago." A flattered smllo overspread Mrs. Homan's vlaago, nnd tho other Bisters, noting It, wondered how long It would bo beforo sho showed her claws In Abraham's presence "Hy-guy, Angy," Abe went on, "yow can't bolleVo nothin' yow hear, kin ycr?

MlsR,Ablga had not banked, In vain on tho "forcslghtciInoBB qt tho Lord,1' At the end of nix' months, Instead ot thero being a bhortage In her accounts becauso of Abo's presence, she was ablo to ehow tho directors such a balance shoot as excelled all her pro vloua commendublo reconlB. "How do you explain It?" thoy asked hor. "Wc cast our bread on tho waters," sho answered, "an' Providence Jest kept ncndlu' out tho louves.'' Again sho said. " 'Twuh grinnln' that done It. Brother Abe he kept tho gardoner good-natured, nn' tho gardener he Jest I grinned nt the garden ansa until It was nshamed not tor flourish; nn' Brother Abo kept tho gals good-natured an' thoy wa'u't h,p nlasy about what thoy oat; an' ho kept tho visitors a-laughlu' Jest ter boo him horo, an' when yow mako folks laugh thoy want ter turn around an' dew somethln' for yow. I toll yow, cf yow kin only keep grit ornough ter grin, yow kin drlvo away a drought." In truth, there had been no drought in tho garden that summer, but almost a double yield of corn and boans; no drought In tho gifts sent to tho home, but showers of plenty. Somo of these ramo in tho form of fresh llsti nnd clams left at tho back door; somo In luscious fruits; somo In barrels of clothing. And tho barrels of clothing solved another problem; for no longer did their contents consist solely of articles of feminine attire. "Bllod shirts" poured out of thorn; socks and breeches, derby huts, coats and negli gees; until Aunt Nancy with a humor ous twist to her thin lips inquired if thoro wero thirty mon In this estab lishment and ono woman. "I nover thought I'd como to wearin' a quilted silk baaquo with toseels on It," Abo remarked ono day on boing urged to try on a handsome smoking Jacket. "Dow I look like one of thorn Blssy-boys, er Jest a dude?" "It's dretful becoming," Insisted Angy, "bowtlful! Ain't It, gala?" Every old lady nodded hor head with an air of proud proprietorship, as it to Bay,' "Nothing could fall to bocomo our brother." And Angy nod ded her head, too, In delighted ap proval of their appreciation of "our brother" and "my husband." Beautiful, Joy-steeped, pleasure-filled days theso wero for tho couple, who had been cramped for Ufo's smallest necessities so many meager years. Angy felt that sho had boon mado mi raculously young by tho birth of this now Abraham almost aa If at lost sho had been given tho son for whom In her youth sho had prayed with im passioned appeal. Her old-wlfo love became rejuvenated Into a curious mixture of proud mother-love and young-wtfo leaning, ae she saw Abe wlu evory heart and become the. cen ter of tho community. "Why, tho sisters all think the, sun rises an' sots in him," Angy would whisper to herself sometimes, awed by tho glorious wonder of It all. Tho slstera fairly vied with ono an othor to boo how much each could do for tho one man among them. Their own preferences and prejudices were imv u I'luivicitucD nuu jji ujuuiuua noig i magnanimously thruet asldo. In. a body they besought their guest to smoko us freely in the house as out of, doora. .MIsa Abigail oven traded some of her garden produco for to bacco, whllo Miss Ellle made the old gentleman a tobacco pouch of red flan nel so generous In its proportions that on a pinch It could bo used as a chest protector. Then Uuby Lee, not to be outdone by anybody, produced, from no one ever discovered whero, a mother-of-pearl manicure set for the delight and mystification of the hero; and even Lazy Daisy went bo far aa to cut some red and yellow Ubbuo paper into squares under the delusion that some time, somehow, she would find the energy to roll theso into spills for tho lighting of Abe'e pipe. And each and every sister from tlmo to time contrib uted eome gift or suggestion to hei "brother'B" comfort, (TO nn CONTINUKD,) How the Rain Bores Holes. When rain falls it does not actually soak Into tho earth, but bores its way lii, forming tiny tubes, says tho Reho both Sunday Herald. Theso tubes aro so small that It would be lmposslblo to Insert a hair lu one of them with out bursting Ub walls. Sometimes the tubes are bored down to a depth of four or ilvo feet. When tho surface dries tho water evaporates from tho tubes, Just aa it would from a plpo. If tho tubo la twisted It takes longer for the water to ovaporate. If ono takes a rako and stirs tho ground after ench rain ho breaks tho tops of tho tubes und ,lho wnterlwlll' Btand.ln them for. inonths.In this way the farmer? ofttho Wost, on soiril-arld lauds, store tho rainfalls one year and rnlao a crop bf1 wheat every other year, there being Bulllclent 'wator In two years, but not enough In one.- to ralso a crop.

'' ' l iNITIMnONAL stntorsoiNL Lesson (By K. O. SKLLBUS. Director of Evening Dcpfirtmuht, Tho Moody Ulblo Institute Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 13 THE TEN VIRGINS. IjBSRON TBXT-Mntt. K:l-13. QOIiDBN TCXT-"Wateh thereforo for yo know neither tho day nor the liouf when the Son of Man comctlr," Matt, 5:13. A parablo is "nn earthly Btory with a heavenly meaning." An nnalogy 1b "a likeness." This story Is a parable. It Is to illustrato tho vigilant, expect ant nttltudo of faith, Hob. 0:8; II Tim. 4:8. Leaving the temple, Jesus drow tho disciples' attention to Its buildings and predicted Ub destruc tion. Proceeding to tho Mount of Olives, his disciples ask him, "Tell us, when shall theso things be? And what shall bo the sign of thy coming, and tho end of tho world?" In reply Je sus gnvo the dlaclplos his Ollvot dis course and prophecies found in chap ters 24 and 2G. To fully comprehend tills parablo wo ought to review all of this teaching. Tho dlscourso aa a whole falls Into these parts (1) 24:1-41 deals with Israel as a nation; (2) 24:45-25:30 deals with tho church as being responsible for tho king dur ing tho period between his two ad vents; and (3) 25:31-46 deals with tho Judgment of the nations when tho Son of Man comes in his glory. It will bo seen then that this lesson comes In the second part and la ono of three parables concerning tho responsibil ity of the church. Jesus Is tho bride groom, John 3:28, 20; Eph. 5:25; II Cor. 11:2; Iter. 21.9, and BetB forth the lovo of Christ for tho church Eph. G:25, 28, 30-32. Two Classes. I. "While the bridegroom tarried" vv. 1-5. The first nnd strongest idea of this section is that he, Jesus, tho bridegroom, Is coming again. Among thoso who wait nro two classes, the wlso and tho foolish, though both were right intentloned. The lamps symbolize Christian profession, Luke 12:35; II Tim. 3:5, and the oil that which la essential to give us power wheroby wo maintain our profession, Acts 10:38; I John 2:20-27. Tho fool ish virgins wero superficial and had not enough to maintain their profes sions. The wlso virgins bad enough oil; bo also may the believer have the abiding spirit of Christ's presence wherein to maintain hlB Christian profession. Waiting they all nodded (slumbered) and others evidently lay .down (slept). Tho wlao virgins could afford to rest aa thoy had all things ready. If thoy had been awake, how evor, they might havo seen and ren dered aid to thoso who wero in the Borrv nllcht of not being ready. The tarrying, was a tost of the; faith and MntlAMMA n 1. r Yl A wluA fl tl H ll yiitiuuw ul uuvu iuu iv.ou ..u ..w -foolish as both awaited the "fulness of tlmo" when ho should appear, The Great Question. II. Behold the bridegroom com'eth" vv. 6-13. All are awakouod by thU midnight- cry. Thei hour was ono when he was least expected, and the church of, today needs , to bo awak ened to a realizing sense of this truth. Both the wlso and the foolish have to meet him, but the wIbo were the only ones whose lights could shine and ahow the way Into- the banqueting room. They all outwardly appear alike even to the very point of separation. Tho church of Ood Individually and collectively, has yet to sense the dan ger to It and to others If its light for any reason bo not continuous. This cry waB a call to "meet him" and we nil need to aBk ourselves, "are we ready to moot him?" Tho hour was too late to make needful preparation to moot him. In their emergency thoy turned to the five wise ones but tho wisdom of one cannot supply the de ficiency or the foolishness of others (v. 9). Thero Is no Scripture to sup port tho teaching that ono man'B merit la applicable to another except the merit of tho God-man Jesue aa ap plied to sinful humanity.

Tho Boclety haB Just completed n long study of tho ad vuncoment of tho tribes, which wero considered umong tho most vicious tribes of cannibals In existence n Ilt tlo over fifty yeara ago. At that time, It is said, tribal feasts In which human captives wero tho principal featuro of tho bill of faro wero periodical foniiB of entertainment In tho regions con trolled by tho tribe chiefs. Today even tho women descendants of tho cannibals cxcrclso tho right to. voto. "When the English first occupied tho Islands In the early part of the Nine teenth, century," tho report states In part, "It is estimated that thero wero about 100,000 Maoris In Now Zealand. They wero divided into tribes, each trlbo having Its unwritten laws re garding land, cultivation, ntid othor Bocial matters. "Tho English found that thoy had a genius for war, bhowlng unusual skill In building, fortifying and defending stockades. Thoy found them also tillers of tho soil and that as carvers and decorators they wero unrivaled in tho Oceanic world, and that thoy displayed great originality In design and perfec tion In tho execution of rock paint ings, and in carving tho ornamental figures of their dwellings, their boats and sacred Inclosures. Tho Maoris were also noted for their tattooing, which was designed to ornament tho body. Whoever refused to undergo tho protracted tortures of tattooing re quired at every important event of his llfo was regarded as a person by his own consent foredoomed to slavery. "Thero aro about 35,000 Maoris loft. Theso havo retired to tho northern provinces of Now Zealand, where cer tain reservations havo been set apart for their oxcluslvo property. Tho Ma ori children attend schools regularly. Such of them as continue into tho higher branches of learning aro said to be worthy rivals of whlto students. Somo of tho Maoris havo become land ed proprietors. They aro proud of their right to vote, and especially of tho fact that their women were given this privilege at tho samo tlmo that It was given to the white Nvomen of Now Zealand." It Is said that tattooing among tho tribes 1,8 now rare, and that tho Ma oris, to greater extent than any other group of savages, havo indicated that man can be raised from savagery to civilization within ono generation.
