Those who let a cough run on, in ignorance of the danger, ifind uo escape from the con sequences when the cough de velops into lung trouble. The best time to kill a snake Is in the egg, The best time to cure a couch is when it Istarts. Ordinarily, a few doses of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery will cure a cough at the beginning.

GILBERT, D, D Secretary of Ameiican Society of Re ligious Education, Introduction. During tho quarter wa bnvo studied select passages In tho his tory of Israel from tho giving of Manna In tho wilderness of Sin to tho death of Moses In tho laud of Moub, Tho tlmo coveted Is nearly forty years, 1190 to 14rl II. C, Every lesson has had some refer ence to Moses ns tho great central figure. Wldlo thcro has been a disclosure of tho Intellectual aud religious lifo of tho peo ple there Iuib been more striking represen tation of this great leader. In the main thcro has been much to adn,ll'o only on ono or two occasions did ho exhibit weak nesses, Grcnt progress was mado In thoso years. A nation was organized, Its laws wero enacted, and Its forms of public worship were lixed, FIRST LKSSON.-July C. The Giving of Munmi, (Ex. xvl. 1-15). Tho first of tho long series of murmuriiiKs In which Israel enguged, wns for luck nf food. A few weeks nut of Egypt, the supplies ex hausted, they turned against Moses mid Aaron as responsible for their misfor tunes, longing for tho flesh pots of their nominee, -ino i.ord promised to relievo tho distress by sending both llesli and breud; making this the proof of Jits preseiu'o und care, The promise was fill, tilled and tho supply of food continued throughout tho wundeilng, SCEOND LESSON.-July 13. Tho Ten Commandments. Duties of God. (Ex, xx, Ml). Tho national foundation was nffected In n constitution of ten parts tho first four of which established mono theism. Of these three wero negative and ono positive. Other gods were prohibited, Idolatry was forbidden, and blusphemy condemned. Thus tho Individual and the community nlllto began with a correct idea of God and the proper attitude to. ward Him. This was fundamental and vital. To preserve this thcistle concep tion one-scvcnth of tho tlmo was net apart to sacred uses and tho other six Bovcnths wore consecrated to secular pur poses. THIRD LESSON.-July 20. Tho. Ten Commandments. Duties to Man (Ex. xx, 1217). Under this codo mdrntlty Is Inseparably enjoined with religion. Duty to God Involves duty to ,tnnn, Neither can bo truly met whllo the other is neg lected. But thera Is a natural order, hero nnuounccd first, filial reverence, tho mother regarded as well ns tho father; tho life to bo held sacred! then chastity to bo obsorvod; then property rights to bo respected! tho reputation and truth to bo preserved! Inst of nil tho invasion of rights by desiring another's possessions to bo denied, It Is probable that thoso six precepts directly or by Implication deal with nil tho relations nnd conditions of life. FOURTH 'LESSON.-July 27. Worship ping tho Golden Calf. (Ex. xxxlll, 1-3."). The second statute of tho decaloguo was soon broken, proving that tho people wero not prepared for tho high standard which bad been set up. Tho occasion wns the long nbsenco of Moses In tho mount whero ho wns receiving Instructions from God. Tho religions sentiments of tho people were not satisfied with a spiritual being. There was need of something that appealed to tho senses. . Hence, Idolatry enmo In, llko that practiced In Egypt. FIFTH LESSON.-Aug. 8. Tho Tab ernacle, (Ex. xl, 1-13), During the pa triarchal dispensation worship was per formed nt an altar of stono which might bo erected anywhere. God met tho sili cons worshipper. Under a national sys tem, especially after sojourn In Egypt, a moveable tent was sot up as tho abiding place of the Almighty. Constructed with tho free will offerings of tho people nfter patterns shown In tho mount It was sot up In tho midst of tho camp nnd became the center of nil religious life and Influ ence. It served to unify nnd educnto and to prefigure things to come. SIXTH LESSON.-Aug. 10. Nadab nnd Ablhu. (Lev. x, 1-11). As tho law was broken so tho holy place was pro faned. Two sons of Aaron, high officials In tho sanctunry. disregarded tho regula tions which had been adopted for tho proper conduct of worship. Unless ror buked their example would havo been followed by others, and In a short tlmo nil reverence would have departed from tho sacred place and Irregularities nnd Improprieties would havo beeen mul tiplied. Tho offenders were Instantly de stroyed; nnd their bodies wero carried out of tho camp for burial. No mourning was allowed even by relatives. From that time forth a difference was mado be tween things holy and unholy. SEVENTH LESSON.-Aug, 17. Jour neying toward Canaan. (Numb. x. lt-13 and 29-36). The toilsome marches through the wilderness are described only In part, and then very briefly In the sacred vol' nme. The way wns beset with peril ngalnst which Moses sought to protect himself by securing the presence of his father-in-law, who, having long lived in thnt region, was familiar with It. But tho Invitation was rejected and Hobab re turned to his old home. What was more valuable than human escort, tho pillar of cloud, wherein was tho Divine pres ence, remained with them leading them on and showing them when to pause. The piety of Moses appeared in Ills trust in God, ready to move whenever tho cloud Indicated. EIGHTH LESSON.-Aug. 24. Report of tho Spies. (Numb, xill l!ii, to xlv, I). Twelve men, one from ench tiibe, went forth from Kndlsh Balnea to explore the land of Canaan. After travelling through tho entire country they returned and reported that the land was beautiful and fruitful, bringing a huge bunch of grapes to verify their statement, but thnt tho Inhabitants wero very strong. Caleb and Joshua advised nn immediate ad vance clalmng that they wero able to subdue and possess the land. The other ten spies gave nn evil report which wns accepted by the body of the people who murmured ngalnst Moses. Supposing the expedition was a total failure there was a proposal to elect another captain and return to Egypt, thus rejecting the mis sion and tho leader. In this Instance there was nn eellpso of faith and an In cipient rebellion. NINTH LESSON.-Aug. 31. Tho Rrnzcn Serpent. (Numb, xxl, 1-9). After many years of wandering In the wilderness Is rael was turned n second time toward Ca naan, Discouraged In the weary march there was general complaint ngalnst Moses as on tho other occasions. To chastise them and bring them Into hu mility nnd submission fiery serpents were sent among them. Groaning from pain nnd bereavement were heard through out tho camp. The spirit of penitence followed: Moses Interceded nnd God pardoned. But to help tho fultb and sym bolize great truths to be learned a brazen serpent was lifted upon a polo In tho center of tho camp. Whosoever looked toward this should live. (John, ill, ll-ir,). TENTH LESSON.-Sept. 7. The Proph et llko Moses. (Dent, xvlll, 9-22). This lesson might bo styled "God's method of giving Religious Truths." Tho peoplo wero commanded not to be practice thoso arts by which tho Cannanltes sought In formationIncantations, spiritualism, di vination, etc., for which they had been expelled from their country. These prac tices were abominable in tho sight nf tho Lord, likely to corrupt aud de grade. But Instead God promised to ralso up a class of men, to bo knwon ns Divinely commissioned when they rest ed their sayings upon predictions that afterward come through. ELEVENTH LESSON-Sept. II. Lov ing and Obeying God, Dent., xxx, ll-2. Tho truth delivered by Inspired men, al ways near at band nnd easily under stood, was tho ono rule oj" conduct. If followed, llfo and blessing would result; If disregarded or violated, death or na- FREE BIBLE LECTURE.

Love must prompt and gilldo the will. Righteousness of this sort would secure nil tho blessings promised to Abra ham nnd his posterity In tho land soon to bo entered. TWELFTH LESSON-Sept, 21. Tho Dcnth of Moses, Dcut., xxxlv, 1-12. Do llied tho privilege of entering Canaan, Moses was taken to tho top of Plsgnh from which ho could obtain a view of the whole land. Thero bo was burled In an unknown grnvo having attained tho ago of 120 years. National mourning fol lowed for thirty dnys, Joshua, who bail been previously consecrated, succeeded to tho command, and tho heart nf Israel turned toward him, By some later his torian a postcrlpt wns added to tho book saying that Moses was nn llicompurabto prophet who talked with God fnco to face. CONCLUSION.-Flfleen hundred years nfter Moses died In Monh ho appeared upon tho Mount of Transfiguration with Ellas, tho great prophet to converse with Jesus. (Matt., xvll, 2.) Later stilt a New Testament writer nsserts that tho law giver was Inferior to Jesus Christ (Hob., Ill, 3), and shows wherein. (Heb., Ill, r-(.) From thoso passages It Is evident thnt the Mosaic economy looked forward to tho Christian era In which It wns fulfilled. It would bo wlso thcrcforo to retrace tho steps ulong tho quarter's lessons to see bow they lend on toward tho Intended goal, All true souls that preceded Jesus helped to make tho world ready for him. All tho work of tho earlier tlmo con tributed something to tho building of tho now church. SERVICES IN THE VARIOUS CHURCHES METHODIST EPISCOPAL. Elm Park church Dr. C. M. Glfiln, pas tor.

DOMESTIC In conking mushrooms, It should bo remembered thnt the simplest way Is tho best. Much cooking, tougheni, whllo tho delicate flavor needs no dis guising condiments to tempt tho pnl ate, In ercnmlng llicm, peel cnrofnlly, trim oft tho stalks, but savo them for your breakfast omelette or steak, and lay fnco down In a clean granite or porcelain-lined snticepnn, In which hns been melted u tablespnonful of swcot butter. Let tho Juice oxudo for n few moments, then add as much rich milk or cronm ns there Is mushroom liquor. Simmer slowly for live or six mo ments, senson lightly with salt nnd pepper, nnd pour over dellcntely browncd slices of tonst. Other delicious ways of preparing j, .mushrooms lire baking and broiling. T In baking, you can utilize tho small or Imperfect mushrooms and the stems. Spread thickly on slices of toast which nro rather underdone, sea son with salt, pepper nnd a llttlo but ter, and bake In a moderate oven, un til the toast Is well moistened with the mushroom liquor. For broiling, select large, perfect mushrooms. Trim off the stums, nnd lay them fnco upward on a well-buttered gridiron. Sprluklo lightly with salt, nnd when tho cups nro lilted with Juice, lift carefully on slices of but tered tonst, taking caro not to spill the Juice. A little llmejulco ndded to a cup of hot or cold tea Is considered by many to bo an Improvement over the uso of lemon. A new sandwich filling Is made of preserved ginger, chopped fine, nnd moistened with rich cronm. Tho housewlfo who lives In a city with a Chinese quarter will find It to her advantage to buy her preserved ginger by tho pound nt the Chinese grocers. It can be .bought In bulk for 50 cents a pound. When a stylogrnpblo pen sticks and refuses to uncnp, hold It over a light ed match for a moment and It will loosen. Half a pound of dry bread, one quarter pound nut kernels and ono pound of raw fruit, furnish a dinner, it Is said, that will give good staying power for six or eight hours. Food for the nged, according to a prominent English nuthorlty, shall consist In the main of fruits und vege tables, ns the acids dissolve out the lime salts from the tissues, nnd so prevent too early stiffness of tho Joints and other parts. Tea nnd coffee nro best avoided, ns they cause paralysis, or want of proper control over the limbs. Pork, veal, cheese and much flesh food must be avoided, as n heavy meal of nny nf these foods Is liable to Induce a stroke of apoplexy. All food should he simple, plainly cooked, and taken in great moderation, lest tho di gestive organs bo overtnxed. Break fast may consist of porridge nnd milk, or whole wheat bread and fruit and a cup of cocoa or milk. Dinners mnv consist of vegetable soup and bread, macaroni, vegetables, and sonic simple plainly cooked 11011 flesb dish. For desert, stewed fruit and bread, or plain rlcf. sago, tapioca or maca roni puddlncs. If llesli or fish aro eaten they should bo of tho most di gestible kinds, as lean beef or mutton, or boiled or ba':ed white mealed fish, and then hi moderation. Better than meit nro vegetables flavored with the gravy. Supper may consist of whole wheat bread nnd fruit, or boiled onions, cel ery or beet root, and a cup of cocoa or' mil!- and water.

Level ground Is best to walk on, and exer cise should never be taken within nn hour after mcftl. Heavy lifting, strain ing or hurrying must bo avoided, Fresh air Is tho best tircvcntlvo of chest complaints, and If well protect ed, thcro need be no curtailing of ex ercise, even in wet und stormy weather. If ono has a toothache and can't reach the dentist, try this method of temporarily delaying the pain: Cleanse nnd dry the hollow tooth with n bit of cotton. Then put In a small cotton plug dipped In creosote or oil of cloves. Cover this with another bit of dry cotton, or, still better, a llttlo beeswax and cotton kneaded together. This keeps out the air and downs tho "mis cry" until u dentist can be reached. While the habits and customs of the untutored savage nre not always to bo commended to his white brother, there are some things that boar tho Impress of good, sound, common sense. For Instance, among the Hopls and Mnrcjos, who stand at tho head of all the Indian tribes, for their feats of strength nnd endurance, It Is the cus tom to leave an opening In all their garments just under the arm. Instead of covering up tho nrmplt with extra shields, a silt about six Inches long Is cut In the under wnlst nnd nrm seams. This gives the air freo access to that part of tho body when perspiration Is most profuse. In New York city ono of the best known professors of the "benutlfler" cult lays stress on tho vnluo of, ollvo oil as a hair restorer and wrinkle era dlcator and preventive. Tho pores of tho scalp and skin, sho declares, drink tho oil In with avid ity, and thlck.glossy hair and well rounded contours follow Itsi persistent application. In shampooing white hair, the up-to-dato hair dresser uses a llttlo laundry blue In the last rinsing water. This gives the hah- a clear white tinge, much more beautiful than the yellow cast which 13 common to tho unlnl ated. If you hnve a basement dining room or rather dark bedroom whero long curtains shut out too much of tho light, try tho effect of the linen Anno Hathaway curtains, copied from tho old house at Stratford-on-Avon. These aro simply scrim or dottd Swiss, mado about three-eights of a yard In length, finished with a linger and a half hem at tho bottom and n two-Inch hem nt tho top, shirred very full upon a brass rod or cotd and hung across tho top of the window casement. These do not cut off tho llcht, but give 1111 nrtlstlc finish to the windows, which shades alono leave too severe ly plain.

Tho Now Englaud cr, loynl to tradition, llnds plenty, of' company thoso days In his Sundny morning breakfast of beans and brown bread, lit the cxtrcmo west and south west, tho brown frlgoll, cooked with plenty of pepper, serves the snmo pur pose.

To prepare tho Spanish rlco have ready n saucepan In which are two lablcspoonfuls of ulco but drippings. Throw in a half cupful of well-washed rlco nnd tows about until lileelv browned. Add ono sliced tomato, 0110'' f sliced onion nnd a clove of gnrllo and brown lightly. Cover tho whole with hot water, season with salt nnd pop per. Cover and let the .rice cook, thoroughly, adding more water as needed. Do not stir, ns the beauty of It lies In the plump brownunbroken kernels. Rlco nnd toasted chcoso Is n good combination, though better for lunch con or supper than breakfast. Cut slices of cold boiled rice and fry to a rich brown In butter or drippings. Cut cheese Into pieces about half as largo ns the slices of rlco and toast over tho lire until beginning to soften. Lay oh the hot rlco nnd serve Immediately. An excellent substitute for beef tea, according to vegetarians, may bo found In a stew of haricot beans, pearl barley, rice, carrots, turnips and nn onion. Strain off the fluid nnd servo with toast. When cold this broth forms a Jelly which Is exceed ingly nourishing. It contains soluble starch, albumen and sugar, all of which are easily taken up by the sys tem. ' . Thin slices of mellow, juicy pears, with boiled custard poured over them, afford a timely nnd delicious dessert. Servo cold in sherbet glasses or deep saucers. A successful venture in a new food combination, tho other day, deserves passing on. The dinner was being prepared over a gas range, and the gas refused to glvo more than ono burner of good llamo at a time. The cook had started to boll new potatoes In one saucepan and lima beans In qn othcr. When she found that only one kettlo could be kept boiling, sho put the contents of the two vessels to gether and finished their cooking. When tender they were set back to steam, whllo a white sauce, was pro pared and turned over them. The result wns so delicious and sat isfactory that tho combination will bo used again, even if not necessary. The poison Ivy, with Its brlillnnt au tumnal colorlHg and pretty berries, will soon bo counting its victims by tho score. Tho wiso Individual who goes out Into the country for nuts, bit tersweet or other trophies of the woodland, takes bis antidoto for su mac, poison oak or Ivy with him. This Is a solution of common baking soda, a tabiosnoonful fo a pint of water. If npplled at once, it Is almost always effective. EMMA PADDOCK TELFORD. Ridge Rev. G. Lees, pastor.

Scheme for Establishing Mldocean Wireless Telegraph. From American Shipbuilding. A scheme Is on foot In Liverpool which It is claimed by tho English ship ping journals, will soon bo In commer cial operation for utilizing wireless telegraphy In n mid-ocean pnstofflca ' nnd signal station. It Is tho Intention-' to permanently moor at 'a point 110 . miles west of tho Lizard a ship wlileli' will be equipped with 11 searchlight and . a complete sot of Miircnnli apparatus,! A3 the water nt tho point selected will '; Involve the use of n moorlngi chain 40f""'' or M0 feet In length, the weight- of ' which would prevcut the bows from- . riding buoyantly over tho heavy sous,- k tho vessel will bo prqvlded with a w hawse-pipe placed In the heel of - the foremast, . !.. The searchlight Is to havo a vertical' beam for the purpose of. Illuminating , the clouds and enabling tho flouting -.5 postofllco to bo picked up at night froip , a distance of sixty ii)!es, or more, As, the vessel will bo located In,, the .fair, r way of tho English chunncl, It will ,be , advantageously placed for ,ti6 . illst,!-!.-, , , btitlop of orders sent from shpre,by.1tlho ., owners of vessels which nro passing, Jrij ,,.. and out of the channel. Thus a s)pn '" coining In from the west or from ,tli n ,, south could be directed eRhec to Mv'er-, pool. Bristol or an English cjutnnpl , port.

The vessel will 'serve as- a ' floating station, which can be picked ; up for wireless communication. Th'e ynlue of this form of postolllce U'Vx'- n pected to be very great. Moreover, ly. lug ut tho junction of the three great thoroughfares of- Urltlsh nnd continent- ul marine truffle, the stutlon should prove particularly valuable In salvage work.
