The throne of the Northern Kingdom was the shuttlecock of ambition for half a century. Seven kings had it and fom of of them got it by violence and murder. Reigns were brief and dynasties interrapt- ed. The exodus of the Levites deprived the nation of a saline elemené. Civil war broke out. Conditions waxed worse and worse, until one king set the torch to his own palace and Tirzah, that synonym of beauty, lay in ashes. The history of the Southern Kingdom presents a marked contrast. Almost the entire period is covered by the reign of a single monarch, Asa, one of the noblest men who ever wore a crown. No such black succession maintained as did in Israel. One need not go far to find the cause of the opposite fortunes of Israel and Judah. The former drifted further and faster fromfthat national rectitude which alone brings national peace and joy. It bas been aptly said that every age thinks itself a crisis, but no one can doubt but that the advent of Ahab brought a surpreme issue in the history of Israel. The chronicler feels justified in giving all i the halance of his book to the narration of | these dark and stirring scenes. Abab’s ; name means ‘‘Father’s brother,” the sng- | gestion being that Ahab is Omri’s other self in impiety. Just at this juncture, Jezebel, a female Judas Iscariot, cast her black shadow on 0 BY DDD DDDDDDDDT DDD DDD Hebrew history. She is another Irene of Constantinople, or Catharine de Medicis of France, or Shakespearian Lady Macbeth. She is the inventor of priestly inquisition and first supporter of religious perseca- tion. She was masterful, indomitable, and implacable. Her father had killed his brother in order to get the Zidonian throne. Such was the fierce and fanatical blood that flowed in her veins. It was an evil day for hoth Israel and Judsh when Abab took the woman to he bis wife. The painsand penalties of that choice perpetuated themselves for a thous- and years. It was under her malign in- fluence that positive idolatry was establish- ed. Calf-worship, had, it is true, heen previously established and was unauthor- izd and corrupt. The calf was, however, everywhere recognized as a symbol of Je- hovah, and under this sign he was still worshiped. But with the advent of Jezebel, the Baals supplanted Jehovah. A great Baalite temple was built in Sa- maria with the evident purpose of surpass- ing that of Jerumsalum. Eight hundred priests in gorgeous regalia served at the alters. The pomp of a sensuous cult was substituted for the simple and speaking rites of an elevated theistic religion. The essence of the faith of Israel found its ex- pression in the simple creed ‘‘Jehovab, Israel’s God; Israel, Jehovah’s people.” But in place of the revered name of Jeho- vah it was deliberately proposed to substi- tute the name of the Baals, It wasa blow at monotheism. In the place of the one God were to be substituted ‘‘gods many,”’ namely, all the local deities of fertility— with all their shameful and murderous rites, including the burning of children. To such a foul depth had Israel fallen: The cumulative nature of ein has a startling illustration in that the same su- perlative terms are used to describe the sin of son as well as of father. Each did worse than all before him. ‘THE TEACHER’S LANTERN. With Abab a new and vivid section of Hebrew history hegins. It closes with the destruction of the house of Omri by Jehu. Its importance is indicated by the fact that its incidents are recorded at length. The advent of Elijah makes it an epoch of absorbing interest. It is the description of one of the dscisive bat les of the world —the battle hetween Jehovah and Baal. It is both the glory and the shame of the nation. * * * * * Abab’s foolish choice of a wife resalted in lasting dishonor. Companionship stamps character, ‘‘A companion of fools shall be destroyed.’” There was a general law against marriage with a heathen. For a king to violate that law was all the ‘more reprehensible hecause of the exem- plary power of his high position. Yet Ahab considered it a light thing. He was unwarned by all previous visita- tions—which were in vain as far as he was concerned. * * * * * Jezebel is odious in the last degree, bus she must be treated with historic fairness. She was a vigorous woman of a various race. Her name is linked with the classic names of Belus, Pygmalion, and Dido. * * * * * Samaria was a name destined to become familiar and significant. Its origin, as here given, is exceedingly interesting. Omri’s removal of his capital from Tirzah to Samaria was like Constantine’s removal from Rome to Constantinople. The new site was exceedingly advantageons—for strength and beauty. The name is derived from that of the owner of the hill, Sher- mer, from whom it was purchased ata price which ig curiously a matter of record to this day. * * * * ® A stone cries outin witness to the ac- curacy of Scripture. Thirty-six years ago a missionary in Syria found what is now known as the Moahite Stone, and which is £aid to read like a new chapterin the Book of Kings. It was made 850 B. C., bears the name of Jehovah and Omri, and confirms Bibie history and geography. * * * * * The inscription on the Moabite stone is in ancient Phoenician, and covers thirty- four lines. Itis an interesting incident that when the Arabs found the archzolo- gists anxious to secure this stone, they became suspicious and broke it up into small pieces, to he used as amulets. Not understanding its historical value, they thought the reason is was wanted was that it possessed some magic spell. The infi- nite patience of the archaeologist (a class of workmen not generally understood or appreciated ) is illustrated in the recovery of the fragments, the restoration of the stone apd its translation. It is in the Louvre in Paris. * * * * * Two golden calves seemed an incident so small that it might be winked at. They were only graven reminders of the trme God. They were far apart. One was at the nothern and the other at the southern boundary. Their setting up was an in- significant affair, not worth making a fuss over, But no! That was the crevice in dike. Through that small orifice came all the putrid flood of idolism. The begin- nings of evil should be resisted. Farmers Institutes in Pennsylvania. The report of the United States Depart-. mens of Agriculture on farmers’ institute work, recently published over the signa- ture of John Hamilton, specialist in that Department, shows the following progress as having been made in Pennsylvania : Population 6,302,115. Total number of homes 1,320,025. Number of farm homes 225,565. Per cent of farm homes 17.1. Approximate population in farm homes 1,077,661. Director of institutes.—A. L. Martin, Deputy Secretary of Agricultore, Harris- burg. Under the Pennsylvania law the deputy Secretary of Agriculture, who is appointed by the Governor for a term of four years, is also director of farmers’ institutes. He ie required to ‘‘arrange them in such man- ner as to time and places of holding the sawe ae to secure the greatest economy and efficiency of service, and to this end he | shall, in each county where such institates are to be held, confer and advise with the local member of the State Board of Agri- culture, together with representatives duly appointed by each county agricultural, horticultural, and other like organiza- tions, with reference to the appointment of speakers and other local arrangements.’’ The institutes are supported by biennial appropriations by the Legislature to the Department of Agriculture. The number of institutes held last year were 327, con- sisting of 831 sessions. Forty-nine of these institutes were one day, 277 two-day, and 1 three-day. There were 58 lecturers upon the state force. The amount appro- priated for the support of the institutes was $15,000. Partial reports are publish- ed in the annual report of the Department.

The Pennsylvania State College and the Agricultural Experiment Station were represented on the institute lecture force by four members, who contributed in the aggregate 108 days of their time and attended 58 institutes. The local organi- zation consists of a county chairman, who is usually the member of the State Board of Agriculture elected by the county agri- cultural society, and one representative from each of the otber county agricultural organizations. All of the expenses of the institute work, including the local ex- penses in the several counties, are paid out of the state appropriation. The state di- rector fixes the dates and the county com- mittees select the places and prepare the programmes. Abont 75 independent in- stitutes were beld last year by farmers’ clubs, granges, and county agricultural societies. The State is divided into five sections for institute purposes, and the in- stitute purposes, and the institute directo - farnishes three lecturers for each section. A feature of the work in this State has been the prescribing of one or two import- ant topies, requiring them fo be placed upon every program for discussion throngh- out the State. The training of institute lecturers so as to increase she number of efficient instructors in the institute work is made an important feature by the state director. Two Firemen Killed in [Head-on Col” lision. The fast Buffalo flyer, westbound, col- lided head-on Saturday morning near Ship- pen, a small station between Emporium Junction and Keating Summit. The pas- senger train was being drawn up the hill by two engines and hoth firemen were killed. The engineers escaped from the crash by jumping. A baggageman was fatally injured and about 18 of the pas- sengers were more or lessinjured, but none seriously, while all on the train were bad- ly shaken up. By a blunder on the part of some one, the freight train took the wrong track and while coming down the hill mes the flyer head-on.
