That was in the day of Intercession, when one man represented many at the throne of tho I nflnltc. The Almighty cared for His peop le, though they scarcely know the fact (Is. 1:3). He never calls Into a way that brings trouble but ho offers dellver nnce (1 Cor. x:13). In this Instanco thero cam to Moses a promise of bread, a dally port on to be sent directly from heaven a mlra cie should be performed to feed the hum xy thousands, a miracle, moreover, unlll .o nny wrought before or since. Tho: o was one condition presci Ibcd so on t he seventh day, which was tho Sab batl . there need be no gathering. This rcqt Ircment made before tho moral law wafl promulgated (Ex. xx:10), Is a Btrong Indl 'atlon that a day of rest had been kno vn In the early history of the chosen poor lo, or -else It was designed as a test of bedlence, an Intimation ot subso quei it law. tt FORMED.-CVorscs C, 7 and 8). This mep sage received directly from God ,v.as dell fcred by Moses and Aaron, repre sent ing the Judicial and priestly func tion s, to tho people, but worded In Bome whn t different form accompanied with rc proc fs. It was said that In the morning bro d would be given (Matt, villi), and In t ie evening flesh, as furnishing a mixed diet of animal and vegetable matter, but wltl i one item at a meal. 2. It was said tha' ; In tho morning the glory of the Lord sho ild bo seen (Isa. xl:S), perhaps a vlsl jle effulgence such ns had appeared In the clouds which, occurlng by daylight, woi Id attest the Divine presence. 3. It was said that this would bo tho proof to all ;hat God and not Moses had -onduct- ed t he exodus from Egypt. 4. J Is said thai . the Lord had heard the Aarmurlng. whl ;h, although directed against Moses, was in reality against the Almighty. Such Inst ructions, so plainly and faithfully de Hve red, were well suited to prepare these Ignc irant people for what afterward oc cur -ed and to give them a spiritual qulck enli1 ig. A PPEARED.-(Verses 9 and 10). In- stH ictlon Is quite sufficient for all who arc: the so advanced intellectually to receive truth (John vlll:32). In the early tin es, when men lived on a lower plane, apiieals were also made to the senses by imliresslve phenomena. Moses, therefore, directed Anron to assemble all Israel be for the Lord. This has been supposed to reftr to some particular place, where rel glous rites and ceremonies were had. As the great tabernacle had not been con str ucted, it Is probable that a small tent cal led the tabernacle of the congrega tlo i (Ex. xxxlll:7), served the purpose nt tht t time. About it the people were gath erc d on certain occasions, and now for a sp clal purpose. The offense committed by their murmuring must be forgiven. Wl tile Aainn was speaking, pursuant to th se directions the children of Israel loo ked toward the wilderness, the open pla ce behind the tent of the congregation, nn I there they saw in a cloud the glory of the Lord, the same glory previously ma nlfested, an unmistakable proof that Go 1 was among them and that Moses was to be trusted. SIGNIFIED -(Verses 11 and 12). There Wl ks a very interesting series of events on tW :it occasion first the words of Moses to thi people, second the word of Aaron to people, afterward the manifestation of thi gl ry. A fifth feature completed the In- cie ilent God spoke to Mo?es, directing htm to say to tne people, what supplemented. en forced and explained all that had Eone be fore. This was -the emphatic sentence, e shall know that I am the Lord your G(iid." The flesh sent In the evening and thfle bread sent In tho morning should sig nify this. It should be a conclusive argu ment, leaving no room for doubt, but es tablishing faith that could not be shaken. Tfils point gained would be of lncalcu- ble value to a people so long oppressed, ho knew little of the God of their fathers, who In a time of distress were ady to reject their leader, forsake -thalr urpose to go to Canaan, and return to fcrypt, simply for food. Nothing was mlorc needed than a firm persuasion that rad was with them. FULFILLED. (Verses 13, It and 15). A ni ition is in tho keeping of Almighty God. M iilions of men are dependent upon His n ord. If He fails in His promise they n- ust died and their bodies must He upon tl e open plain to perish. In all history tl ero has never been a time of such ex t omity and peril as that into which ls n el was brought in the wilderness of sin. B ut God will not fall. His promises aro sv ie (II Pet. Iii:9). When the night came tl o quails In large numbers were sent ir to tho camp. They came from the Red 8' a which was a few miles to the 'west (' lumb. xl:31). Tho appearance of feath e: ed fowls In large numbeis (Psalm 1 xvlll:27). was a remarkable lnterposl t( on, celebrated In after history In tho tvIccs of the temple. In tho morning d fter the dew thero lay on tho ground a n utiitlous substance, small and round, ' hlch the people called manna, because t icy did not know what it was, until J (otes informed them that it was the Piomlsed biead (John vl:31;. 'Some schol a rs have tiled to show that the quails and r tanna were produced by natural causes, Vhat of It? Cannot God woik through r ature or without It? REFLECTION.-!. In tho dlschaige of cluty on tho accomplishment of a mission ne must expect privation, hardship and ufferlng, and these must be met with ;ortltude and resignation, 2. He who en- ounters trouble while walking in tho ord's way must not look backward to he good things left behind (Luke ix.62), ISut foiward to tho better things which i re before, 3. We must not complain When adversity comes, but turn to God : or support In It or deliverance from It. ft'e may better die where God has placed Ms (Luke xvll;33), than attempt to order ur course contrary to his will. 4. It Is folly to blame a leader for matters beyond his control, for in so doing we weaken ' lis purpose and increase his burden, and i.o make matters worso, 5. There Is a rood and mighty God who presides over he destinies of peoples and who will care or them who put their trust In him. . Frequently God sends or suffers Ills peo ple to come Into great straits that they nay learn to seek Him, and He after ward blesses them abundantly even In Fulfilment of His gracious promise.

From Dublin to Scranton "Unweary God met yet shall bring To lands of brighter air Beside the Susquehanna and along the Delaware." So sang Robert Lewis Stevenson, after long wandering among the king doms of the earth and the glory of them, and so we echoed, lovely day In mid June though It was when we left Dublin for the five hours run down to Queenstown to take the Celtic. But after all It was the old familiar faces, a short 3000 miles away that could wile us from the summer beauty pf Ireland. And as we sped along we looked out tenderly upon the old land, smooth with a thousand years of tillage. Green and white Is Ireland. White fleecy clouds float over the hedges, white with haw thorn, and the venerable white cottages snuggled down under their straw thatches among the green fields. Great companies of cows and sheep wandered in this land of perpetual grazing, crows, rooks, ravens, were abroad and the whole Inky family seemed there to harmonize with the ruins gray of Ireland's past. How the Inhabitants of such a land can keep swarming to America, when there is now room and verge enough for them to live and thrive at home, none knoweth. The country has had a grevious past, but who is oppressing Ireland now? Not England, when the main prop under her throne is Irish valor nnd the certainly that Ireland will always fight for something or other. If the Irish Conservatives would consent to home rule they could have It tomorrow. But they say that element which makes a Tammany 'with us, Is too hopelessly In the majority to make good govern ment. They point to the ring rule In Dublin as an illustration. There if you own a house which you can rent for $1,000, you are compelled to hand over more than one half this sum for local taxes! But there should be home rule In Ireland, and there will be when the men of real might unite and come to the front as they are trying to do In the States, as America Is culled over hete. It will come. An American marvels at tho relaxing grasp of monarchy In these lands. The coming and going of the great, excite but a languid interest, they are looked upon very much as we regard the do ings of our "smart sot," over here. Leaders and men of brains arise among them now and then, but the main facts published regarding the lives and labors of tho nobility nnd gentry seem to be the daily chronicle of their movements from one scene of entertainment to another, To the toller, life for them seems one long holiday und he not In it save to pay tribute. If our president goes a fishing und stays more than week the country be gins to enquire the reason why the working head of u working nation Is thus relaxing, When Prince Henry ap pealed off tho IrlBh coast with u grand fleet of German wnrshlps, they luy for days down at Kingstown harbor within half an hour of Dublin, nnrl the number of people who did not go down to look nt them would have surprised an Amer ican. The only visible thing of his presence uinnng us was tho prepara tion by his German subjects In Dublin of a choice Illuminated address of wel come, but ho was too busy playing polo In "Phaynix park" to come to receive It personally, and delegated one of h)3 officers. To him they declined to give It and it hangs In Dublin today a mem orial of an uct of impolicy not usual to princes, But good-bye for this time little green picture island, for here far out In the cove of Cork Is the Celtic walling for us with Impatient waves slapping her sides. Quickly we leave the tug and clamber up her steep side and ore away, The voyage begins and goes nn bravely, Wo hope there are but few so aggrieved with care and sorrow that they could not feel that "life Is still a Tail ftaufcim tf OB ey fatsiit'tt gMMH Laxative Drorao-uiaiae Taw JULY 5, 1902. 4 4 DOMESTIC SCIENCE.

What Joy to dispense entire ly with sweeping and dusting, lamp filling and silver polishing, window washing nnd ironing, cleaning and fancy cooking. Plain cooking thero needs be, dish washing, bed making and possibly an occasional bit of crude laundry work. Only theso and nothing more. Then the joy of long hours lying in tho hammock or on tho beach, on the camp cot or a quilt spread on tho grass, sine of no more critical for mal callers than tho birds, squirrels or Miss Molly Cottontail. They aro not at all critical, though your sleeves bo rolled up, your collar turned In and your dress skirt up to your boottops. They believe In c9m fort and freedom. So do you. In arranging for a camping trip, try to bo as unhampered by your clothes us possible. Men seem always to know just what to wear, but women, ns a rule, havo not learned tho art. For a month's outing ono can get along with two changes ot underwear, gauze If In a warm, equable climate, but heavier weight flannels If In the east, or when thero is apt to be rain; one flannelette nightgown, a heavy shawl or golf capo, two short skirts, with brlll lantlne bloomors of tho same color, a stout jacket, outing flannel and cot ton shirt waists.whlch will wash easily and not need Ironing; strong boots, not too heavy, but with a thick sole for tramping; a pair of bed slippers, three pairs of hose, a broad-brimmed soft hat, like a sombrero, and a Scotch cap that will not catch on overhanging boughs, and a pair of stout gloves. If you are going to do the cooking, a couple of big gingham aprons will do much toward keeping you clean. Limit your toilet articles strictly to necessi ties and keep them together in a denim bag to hang by your bed. Be suio and lay In hair and safety pins galore, scissors, needles and thread to repair damages, and a few standard household remedies to use in case of an emergency. If there are children, boys or girls overalls! Remember, too. a few books of short stories that can be read aloud. As to utensils and provisions, sim plify everything as much as possible. White enamel ware Is recommended for the table, as neat, light to carry and not breakable. A plate, cup and saucer, with knife, fork and teaspoon for each individual; a platter for meat or fish; a covered dish for butter, an other for vegetables, with bowl for sugar, two or three large spoons for serving, an extra long handled one for cooking; salt and pepper shakers will be sufficient for rough camping. Add, if you please, a stock of thin wooden plates, sold by all grocers, to lessen dlshwushlng and answer for bread and fruit plates. Each person should be supplied with a good, big bladed Jackknlfe. For cooking, one needs a Btrong coffee-pot, two long handled frying pans, a sma.ll sr -t happy thing," through a summer week on the Celtic. Waves would have to be tremendous to sway roughly this vast ship. Now she rocks you gently through the pure seas. She has a fine staff throughout and nn air of pleasantness and well be ing pervades everything. Her purser Is a philanthropist by nature and grace well flitted to cope with the wants and woes of a ship's family. The chef and his aids ure wonders in their line. At lust we have found a ship where the idea does not obtain that no fowl Is ripe for the pot till hung up till It drops from the tall feathers. You like to sit on the broad decks nnd single out your American fellow passengers by the mercury In their heels and shoulders squared to the world.

Thursday June 28, we had the coronation. At high noon assembled on the for ward deck we faced the captain on hla bridge who gave the program through the megaphone. We sang "God Save the King," we cheered him, cheered the queen, the British flag floating nloft and then most heartily Amelca, We set off rockets In the blue air, and a tucket on a clear day Is the most fairy comet-HUo white, thing you can im agine. It was an impressive thought that ships an all the seas of the world were going through the same ceremony that day. But, ulusl Within an hour we spoke a ship but two days out from Boston and read from her flags; "King 111. No coronation." The pity of It! We should have mourned more, but for ono sight offered us on this English Bhlp, full floating typo as It was of the British nation. After the Impressive exercises the grimy stokers, pallid and tattered, were summoned up, halt parboiled, from their work to a pit just below us and set to scuffling and groveling for coppers thrown down by the passen gers. It was their toll that made this holiday sailing possible for us on the breezy decks above, and they, too, were brothers.

T f T f YTTYY ITTTTTTTMTTT tl grlddto, a small covered Iron pot for baking beans, an agate sauce pan, a good sized tin dlshpan, a couple of paper palls or water buckets, two or three sharp knives, a long handled fork, a dipper and a pancake turner. Other articles, such as a lemon squeezer, a camp boiler, various bowls and basins, add to the comfort, but can be dispensed with. There must also be several cakes of soap for dish washing, dish towels, that will wash easily, matches, and colored napkins. Tho table depends upon environment. A boulder, one of the cots, or the ground will do though if tho men can fashion with axo and nails out of vir gin forest It will add much to the comfort of the party. A square ot white enameled cloth will answer for a tablecloth. In selecting the site for l camp the first consideration must bo nearness of wood and water. If one has to "pack" those necessi ties any distance pleasure becomes pain and tho holiday Is spoiled for the luckless hewer of wood and draw er of water. The camp flro Is the first thing at tended to. If you drive to your camp, as Is the custom In California and Arizona, you can carry along a regular sheet iron camp stove with four or six covers and a good baking oven. You may, with regular western Ingenuity, turn a five-gallon kerosene can Into the nicest kind of a little stove by cut ins' out tho top for a door, turning tho can on one side and making a circu lar opening for the kettle or frying pan, and putting a silt In the end op posite tho door for a draft. When wood is plentiful It Is qulto as easy to make a camp fire with the ma terials at hand. Arrange two large green logs side by side but slightly further apart at one end than the other. Put a rock across the smaller opening for a damper to in crease or retard combustion, as de sired; then ariange your cooking uten sils along the opening according to size. By, Inverting ono pan upon an other an oven may be devised, though in the west every old camper carries his "Dutch oven" along with him. In rocky localities Are may be built in making a perfect table for keeping dishes nnd food warm. Tho camp fire should be built at least an hour before meal time in order to have a good bed of coals. The supply of food materials to be laid In must depend upon the size of the party, the facilities for carrying supplies and the prospect of ekelng them out by game, fish, berries or a descent upon some convenient ranch house or country store. The usual necessities In camping are salt, pepper, sugar, flour in sack, oat meal, cornmeal, rice and lard, crack ers, beans, tea, cocoa, condensed milk, evaporated cream, butter, pickles, dried fruit, potatoes, molasses, pork and always, always, always, an abund ance of bacon (preferably the boneless) and coffee.. You moy add to these items as many luxuries as your taste demands and your baggago has room for. Lemons will keep In a cool, dry place for two or three weeks and add much to the taste of soup and fish. Fruit syrups, combined with good, cold spring wa ter, make pleasant and healthful drinks. A few cans of extract of beef, some packages of the Klondyke soups, which come In squares and are put ui in packages like yeast cakes, a few bakings of molasses and sugar cookies put up in waterproof bags, an assortment of canned vegetables and tinned meats and fish will also prove acceptable on days when fish decline s jcssa iiiiitiiiiiiii '--'-nnmiiiiii But the Celtic Is bearing us steadily away from that land. On the last morn ing of the voyage, sunrise brings a feel ing of exhilarating lightness no pen can describe. We sail through the lower bay, then the upper, the glorious shores lined with freedom's homes, built with no dull old world uniformity, but with every man's villa set at the angle that pleuscth h'm best. We feel like shout ing with delight, till we nre towed Into our dock and received by the customs officers as culprits and probable smug glers. Some of us go away depleted of our cash, while others with the same articles In full view pass duty free, Bungle nnd blunder rule through the dreary two hours before' we are re leased. The search at. the customs will be no real search till women are em ployed In It. Not a man of them knows what Is really In a trunk. But at last we are off on the stretch through the lovely Water Gap region, and betimes are dumped at the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western Benin ton station, to await a local train to the country home, Alas! to come home and say It, Nowhere In a pluce of Its size have we found a waiting place so dreary, so devoid of all proper com fort. We used to go Into Hanley's neat dining room and linger, but now noth ing Is left even of that but a counter and tall stools. But all passeB the worriment, and we roll out again Into the greenness, No where In the world Is purer sweetness than among these hills, "By flood nnd field and 1)111, by wood and meadow fulr, , Beside the Susquehanna and along the Delaware," A Returned American. m i HONESDALE. ' r -ry'r Spccti! to tho Bcrtnton Tribune, Honesdale, July 4, The Erie excur sion to New York yesterday took ninety-four from Honesdale. A number of city boarders have al ready located In the vicinity of Hones dale. There will be special song service In both the Baptist and Presbyterian churches on Sunday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Wesly Gardner and son, Prry Mr. and Mrs. Harry Rowley, of Scranton, spent the Fourth with Hones dale relatives. An evidence that the cut glass busi ness is In a healthy, condition, is shown '. 4 ;i to bite and squirrels keep In hiding, or when you get Into camp after dark, tired and hungry, and want something quick. Stilt other concessions to tha refinements or civilized tables may ha found In an occasional finish to a meal of aa'lttto crystallzed fruit, soma Chin ese ginger or a bit ot Brio or Roque fort cheese, which may bo taken along In glftBs pr tin packages. And now some 'oft-repeated recipes for camp cookery, and first, of course, camp coffee (cold water process). Allow a tablespoonful of ground cof fee for each one In tho camp and "one for the pot." Put In a cheese cloth bag with a draw string to tie about the mouth, lay In the pot and pour In cold water. Cover closely, stopping up tho spout with a twUt of paper. As soon ns It bolts, It Is ready to serve. If you prefer to use boiling water, scald vyour coffee pot, put In tho coffee, add u; cupful of cold water, let it come to a. boll, then pour on as many cups of hot water ns there are campers. Push back where it will keep hot but not boll for ten minutes. Just before serving turn In u, half cup of cold wa ter and let It stand a moment or two to settle. CAMP BISCUIT. Ono pint of flour, two teaspoontuls baking powder, half a teaspoonful of of Bait, and one teaspoonful shorten ing. Mix to a soft dough with one cupful milk or cold water, and if you havo no oven, pour a little bacon grease In the bottom of your Dutch oven, or hot covered baking pan, turn the dough and bake. A DUTCH OVEN, It may be said for tho benefit of those who are not acquainted with its pos sibilities, is a round vast lion sort of pot with a heavy concave top. Prop erly treated, it bakes biscuits lighter than any stove oven, and as for beans, well nsk any old miner, cowboy or forty-miner If you want to hear a pe oratlon on its possibilities. An adept in Its use makes a good bed of coals right In the ground, covers his oven, let It get good and hot, an5 tests it by pouring In u little cold water. It It sizzles that Id all right. Then the bacon fat Is poured into grease it, and the batter follows. The oven is then set low in the coals und more coals shoveled over it to cover the top. MACARONI, ITALIAN STYLE, makes an appetizing and "filling" camp dish. Break In small pieces and cook in boiling salted 'water until soft, which will be in about twenty minutes. Drain (saving the water to help In a soup for the next day) and rinse tho macaroni in cold water. Arrange in a pot with alternate layers of mac aroni sprinkled wth bacon grease, stewed tomatoes and finely cut cheese and bake. Rice is excellent cooked the Bame way with cheese and tomat oes. JOHNNY CAKE, with an accompaniment of bacon and eggs or broiled fish and coffee, is al ways In order. A good rule calls for one cupful yel low cornmeal, one cupful wheat flour, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, two teaspoonfuls sugar and a saltspoon of salt. Mix thoroughly and add water to make a thin batter. Then stir In lightly one egg, unbeaten, and a tea spoonful of drippings. BaAe In a rather thin cake, not more than one inch thick when done. As for mush, one may take any kind they prefer, but the old-fainltuicd cornmeal is most satisfactory In the long run; for, like the nursery rhyme, "What we do not eat at night We eat next morning filed." In frying It, cut In rather thlcU slices, roll lightly In flour and brown on both sides in hot bacon fat. t s s s s $ s n sV s If you want pancakes, no rule 13 better than this given by AN OLD ADIRONDACK GUIDE: One quart of pastry flour, a salt spoonful of salt, two eggs and two tablefmoonfulK condensed mlllc. Thin 9 with water and boat until smooth and light. Just before baking add two ' heaping teaspoonfuls baking powder. Bake in small cakes on a hot grease', pari or griddle. ! i IN BAKING POTATOES select those of uniform size, wash well, cover In a bed of soft ashes and bake until tender. Brush off t th ashes and serve with salt. Emma Paddock Telford. by the steady work In the Honesdale shops. The four shops only take from two days to one week vacations, Mr. and Mrs. H. B.
