There Is Intense exnltement In the villiwr
of Z'ltla?. David imd his men am bidding
poo lby to tlmir fh-nillns and are off or tho
wars. In that little villaite of Zlklair the do-ft-nwriose
onea will be safe nntll the warriors,
flnshd with victory, come home. But will
the dafinsnless ones be safe? The soft arm
of cliiliip-n are around the necks of the
bronze warriors until they shnlce themselves
fr'e .in t start, nad bandkerehie's and flacj
art waved and kissf thrown nntll the armed
men vanish beyond the hills. D m'd an 1 his
mison (f t through with their oampaluB
and start homeward. Every nlsrht on thit
way home no sooner does the soldier put his
!; I q- the knapsaek than la his dream he
hears the welcome of the wife and the shout
r the child.
Oh, what lonj? stories they will have to tell
their fnmlllrs of how they dodged the bat
t'nax, and then will roll up their sleeve an.l
i mw the hair healed wound. With Rial,
rpi'ek step, they march on, David and h!a
men, frr t hey are marching home. Now they

dwelling places of their loved ones. Tney
loolr, and as they look their cheek tarns pale,
ind their lip quivers, and their hand invol
untarily comm down on the hilt of the
sword. "Where Is Zlklai?? Whore are our
Louies?" they cry. Alas, tin curling smoke
l ovo the ruin tolls the tragedy I
l"ie Amalekites have come down anicon
lumed the village and carried the mother,
ind the wives, and th-) children of David and
bis men into captivity. The swarthy war
riors stand fnra Tew moments transfixed with
horror. Tlin thoir eyes Rlnnoe to each
other, and they burnt Into uncontrollable
trwpinir, for when a strong warrior weeps
Hie itrlef is appalling. It seems as if the
amotion mliflit tear him to pieces. They
"wept until they ha 1 no more power to weep.'"
but soon their sorrow turns Into rai?e, and
I'nvid, swinifinir his sworl biirh in air, cries,
"I'lirsuc, fur thou shnlt overtake them, an 1
without fail recover all." Now the march
Becomes n "douMe quiet." Two hundred of
David's men stop by the brook Jfcor, faint
with fatigue an 1 Kriof. They cannot (to a
tep farther. They are loft there. But the
Mber 4n0 men under lavid, with a sort of
panther step, march on in sorrow and in
mi?e. They find by the side of the road a half
dead Egyptian, and they resuscitate blm and
romptii inn to tell the whole story, lie says,

. ry soon David nnd his enras-ed company
"one upon the Amalekttlsh hHt. yonder
they set) their own wives nnd childr mand
mothers, mi 1 under Amnlekitmh ifuar I. Here
Hrc the officers of the Amalekitish army hold
ing a bniHi'iet. The cups are full , the musio
Is roused . the dance becins. The AmalckiN
Ish host clieer and choeran 1 choor over their
victory Hut, without note of bugle or warn
ing of trumpet, David and his 400 men burat
opon the scene. David and his men look up,
sn I one glance at their loved ones In captiv
ity nnd under Amalekitlsh guard throws
flicin Into a very fury of determination, for
you know how men will fight when they light
for their wives and children. Ah, there are
lightnings in their eye. and every finger Is a
jpcar, ana tn.iir voice Is like the shout ot the
whirlwind! Amid the upset tankards an 1
the costly viands erulied underfoot, the
wounied Am.ilekltes lie. their blood min
gling with their wine, shrieking for
mercy. No soon-r do David ani his men
win tho vi 'tory than thoy throw theirswords
down into the dnd what do they want with
swords now?- and the broken families come
together amid a great shout of joy that
makes the p irtlng scene In Ziklag seem very
Insipid in the comparison. The rou-li old
warrior has to uso some persuasion before
ho can get his child to come to him now
after bo long an ntiscnce, but soon the little
finger traces th" familiar wrinkle across the
jcarrcd face. Au 1 then the empty tankards
ire set up, and they are filled with the best
wine from the hills, and David and his men,
the husbnn Is, the wives, the brothers, the
Jlstcrs, drln'-c to tho overthrow of the
Amnb'kltes and to the rel iiil Jing of Ziklag.
So, O Lord, let Thine enemies perish I
Jow they are coming home, David nnd
Bis men nnd their families a long pro
jcsslon. Men, women an 1 children, loaded
with jewels and robes ami with all kin.ls of
rrophies that the Amnlekltes had gathered
p in years of conquest everything now in
:he hands of David and his men. Wuen
:hey come by the I rook Jtcsor, the place
where staid the ijen sik and lneompntent
:o travel, tho jewels nud the robes and all
iin Is of treasures are divide.! among the
nek as w"ll as among the well. Hurelythe
lame and erhau-te. 1 ought to have some of
Hie treasures. Jfere is a robe for a p.ile
faced warrior. Hero is a pillow for this
lying man. Hera is a ban iful of gold for
:he wssto.l trumpeter. I really think that
:heso men who fainted by the brook Bcsor
tuny have en lured as much as tho3s men
who writ into the bnttle. Some mean fel
lows objected to the sick ones having any of
:he spoils. The objectors said, "'These men
lid not light." David, with amagnanimous
neurt, repii s, ".s his part is that goeth
Jown to the. battle, so shall his part be that
Mrro-th by the stlltT."
Thissui.ject is practically suggestive to me,
rh.-uik lio I, in these times a man can go oft
an a journey an l be gone weeksand months
tnd come back nn I see his house untouched
H inceu llary and have his family on the
itep to grc t him rf by telegram he has fore
told tho moment of his coming. But there
re Amalekitlsh disasters, there are Amalo
kitish diseases that sometimes comes down
ipon one's horn", making as devastating
work as tho day when Ziklag took tire.
I here a.e families yoa represent broken up.
No battering ram smota in the door, no
Iconoclast crumbled the statues, no flime
eap vl amid tho curtains, but so far as all
Mm joy and merriment that onco belonged

Jeparted.
Armed diseases came down Ttpon the qui

One day, in rist.-r Touaty, T. T, the vil
lage church was decoratei until the fra
grnncn of tTio Howors was f lmost bewilder
ing. The maidens of the Tillage had e'rrfK
tied the place of flowers epon one marriage
altar. One of their number was affl inced to
a minister of Christ, who ha I come to take
her to Ids own home. With hands joined,
amid a eongr atulstory an Hence, the vows
were taken. In three days from that time
one of those who stool at the altar ex
changed earth for heaven. The wedding
Tnaroh broke down into the funeral dirge.
I here were not enough flowers now for the
t-oiun uo, pecjinse they had all been taken
for tho bridal hour. The dead minister of
Christ is brought to another village.
He had gone out from them less than a
week before In his strength , now ho ootnea
home lifeless. The whole ohnrch bewailed
him. The solemn procession morod around
to look upon the still face that once had
beamed tho message of salvation. little
children were lifted up to look at him. And
some of those whom he had comforted in
tlnys of sorrow, when they passed that silent
form, made the place dreadful with their

i in ant nlaaa. it von want to
o'n your iovia ones in Blory, yoa tjinst
travel the same way tney Wont. No sooner
had the half dalEgyptlaa beenresosoitated
than he pointed the way the eapton and the
mptives had gone, and David and hU men
followed after 8r oar Christian friends
have gone Into another ffonntry, and if we
want to reach their companionship we must
take the same romL They repented. We
must repent. They prayeil. We must pray.
They trusted in Christ. We past trust in
Christ. They lived a religions life, .We must,
five a reiiglons life. They were In soma
things like ourselves. I know, now they r4
gone, there is a halo around their names,
but they had their fanlts. They said an f
did things they ought never to have said or,
done. They wore sometimes .ebelllous.i
sometimes cast down. Tuey were far from!
being perfect. So I suppose that when we
have gone somethings in us that aro now
only tolerable may be almost resplendent.
But ns they were like ns in deficiencies we
ou.'ht to be like them in taking a supernal
Christ to make up for the deflelts. llad it
not tm.m for Jesus they would have af
perished, but Christ confronted tbem and
sal I. "1 am the way." and they took it.
I have also to-ssy so yon that the path that
these captives tro 1 was a troubled path, and
that David an 1 his men bad to go over the
same dliacult war. While these, captives
were being taken oil they said, "Oh, wo are
so tired ; wo are so sick ; wo are so hungry I"
But the men Who had charge of them said.
".Stop this crying. Oo on !' David and his
men also foua 1 It a har 1 way. They had to
travel it. Our frien Is have gone into glory,
an 1 it Is through much tribulation that we
ar. to enter Into the kingdom. How our
loved ones usel to nave to struggle! How
their old hearts ached I How sometimes
they had a tussle for bread I In our child
hood we won iere I why there were so many
wrinkles on thair fao -s. We did not know
that what were callol "crow's feet" on their
faces wore tiie mark3 of the black raven ol
trouble. Did you ever hear the old people,
seato I by the evening stand, talk over their
early trials, their hardships, the acci
dents, the burials, the disappointments, tne
empty flour barrel when there were so many
hungry ones to fce.i, the sickness almost
unto death, where the next dose of morphine
decide 1 between ghastly bereavement and
nn unbroken home circle? Oh, yes I It was
trouble that whitened thoir hair. It was
trouble that shook the cup in their hands. It
w is trou'ile that washed the luster from
the. r eyes with the tin of tenrs until they
needed spectacles. It was trouble that made
the can a necessity for their Journey. Do
you never rem ra -r so-dug your old mother
bitting on some rainy day looking out ot the
win low, her elbow on tin winlowsiil, her
hand to her brow, looking out, not seeing
liie falling shower at all (you well knew she
was looking Into the distant past), un'.il the
apron came up to her ey.s because the mem
ory was too much for her?

"Who are those under the altar?" the
qnestion was asked, and the response came,
"These aro they which came out of great
tribulation and have washed thoir robes an t
made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
Our friends went by a path of tears into
f:lory. Ba not surprised If we have to travel
he same pathway.
I remark again, if we want to win the so
ciety of our friends In heaven, we will not
only have to travel a path of faith and a path
of trlbulntl n, but we will also have to posi
tively battle for their companionship. David
nnd his men never wanted sharp swords, nud
Invulnerable shields, an 1 thick broastplntos
lo much as they wanted them on tho day
when they came down upon the Amelikites.
If they had lost that battle, they never would
linvc got their families back. I suppose that
one glance at their loved ones in captivity
burlel them into the battle with tenfold
courage and energy. Thoy said : "We roust
win it. tverything depends upon it. Let
each one take a man on point of spear or
sword. We must win it." And I have to
lell you that between us an 1 coining into the
companionship of our loved ones who are
departed there is an Austerlltz, there Is a
Oettysbnrg, there la a Waterloo. War with
the world, war with the flesh, war with the
devil. We have either to conquer our trou
bles, or our troubles will conquer us. David
will either slay the Amalekitcs, ortho Amale
kites will slay David. And yet is not the
fort to be taken worth all the pain, all the
peril, all the beslegement?
Look I Who are they on the bright bills
of heaven yonder? There they nre, tltos i
who sat at your own table, the chair now
vacant. There they are, those whom you
rocked in infancy In the cradle or hushe 1 to
si ?ep in your arms. There they are, those
In whose life your life was bound up. There
they are, their brow more radiant than ever
before you saw it, their lips waiting for the
kiss of heavenly greeting, their chock roseate
with the health of eternal summer, their
hands beckoning you np the steep, the feet
bounding with the mirth of heaven. The
pallor of their last sickness gone out of their
face, nevermore to be sick, nevermore to
cough, nevermore to Hup, nevermore to be
old, nevermore to weep. They are walching
from those heights tos'eif through Christ
you can take that fort, t nd whether you will
rush in upon them victors. They know
that upon thk) battle di'pends whether you
will ever join their oc:'.ety. Up ! Htrike
harder! Charge more bravely " liemeinber
that every ineii you gall puts you so much
farther ou toward that keavea'y reunion.

If you would make such a struggle lot

May God Almighty, through the blood of

Austin Rice, of East DeerfieM, a
plain, unimaginative farmer, who fox
nearly fifty of the seventy years of
his life has resided in his quiet home
on the banks of the Connecticnt Hirer,
said a few days ago : "I was near the
bridge, a little over n week ago, when
I heard what seemed to me like a Brunt

five feet away, I saw a brer snake.
"Its head was out of water, and its
body raised some six or seven feet.
At the neck tho snake was about a
large as a man's le at tho thigh, and
the body was about as large at an or
dinary stovepipe. His eyes were as
large as thoso of a hor.se, and his
mouth, which was opon, was nearly a
foot across. Ine color or uib body
was black, and a white stripe around
his mouth extended down to his
pauueh. I followed tha Huake, trying
to keep alongside of him. At one

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
DTEIXO.
Among the many aids ti learning the
art of dyeing is one of the most import
ant, as it is tho chief dependence of re
storing aad making over faded wearing
apparel, writes Mrs. E. R. Parker. .That
the art is verv oia may pe proven oj rei-
erence to the Scripture. To ths splendor
ana beauty ot color ot the priestly vest
ments we bare the testimony of -the
sacred historians in these words: "And of
blue, and purple, and scarlet they mode
clothes ot service to do service in the
holv nlace. and made holy eannenU for
Aaron as the Lord had commanded
Moses." "And he made the ephod of
cold and blue and purple aad tcarlet ana
fine linelb" Ttlus, showing that tio
ancient Israelites had an intimate knowl
edge of the existence ot rich colors.
The art of dyeing seems to havo been
well nnderstDod by tho people of Asia,
and it would seem that the sentiment of
color took precedence of that ot form
with all oriental Nations.
While dyeing seems to havo been an
art of great antiquity, it has always been
regarded as a difficult one. and the work
of a DTOfesstonal dyer. If attempted al
home, either with barks and roots, cr
liquid dyes, was almost always a itn
ure, and the work was accompanied with
so much labor that few women were d!s-
Doaed to undertake it. But the recent
introducing of successful home-dyeing
has rendered the art so easy that it
is now regarded as any other ordinary
work ot the ,bousehold. The prepared
dyes are put up in a great variety ot col
ors, which tiro reliable aad fast. When
desiro js of dyeing a garment the color
should be selected from the card which
is furnished with all prepared dyes. It
is well to be remembered that a dark col
or will not dye light, and that certain
colors will only ta'te a particular shade.
If preferred garments may be colored
without ripping, but it is best for an in
experienced hand at tho business to rip
them,rendering the pressing much easier.
AU goodi should bs perfectly clean be
fore they are put in the dye, and il
stained with spots ot grease, ink, pninl,
or tar they must be entirely removed.
For this purpose washing in a solution
ot detsicated soap will b3 found excel
lent, as it thoroughly c'.eans without in
juring the fabric. Soft water should be
used for dyeing. The articles should ba
wet before putting in the dye kettle.
Directions for doing the work will bo
found with each package of dye par
chased, and it carefully followoi cin
not fail to give satisfaction.
After tho ortic'.es are dyed, take fro n
the kettle and wash well through soip
suds, which will set the colir ani

Whether fish furnishes phosphorus to
the brain or not, the fact remains that in
the spring ot the year we all enjoy a fish
diet. Fishmongers grow jicund aad
their purses plethoric, and houscwive3
linger around cool marble slabs waere
lie the speckled finny beauties. The In
stinct, the relish, is right. Meat pro
duces caloric, and by spring wo iiavs
usually a superabundance ot this wiotct
necessity of which to rid our systems.
As a hygienic measure, then, the tish diet
wherever fish can be procured freih
is to be recommended. But whenevci
kept on ice fish seems to lose its vihie
at least its relishing flavor; also it very
soon spoils, and then becomes deadly.

The Eares Sffallow.
The cli3 awallaw, or eaves swallow is
irregularly distributed over the Uaitel
States, breeding abuadantly in many lo
calities where suitable nesting sitoj are
found, and being rare in other districts.
They fly over upland meadows an i pas
tures, often skimming along the suiface
of the ground to catoli tae numerous
leaf-hoppers and other insects that are
there. A single specimen that was
hot by Professor King while tho bird
was skimming over a wheat field con
tained twelve leaf-hoppers, sewn two
winged flies (including one large crane
fly), six small beetles and two medium
sized Ichneumon fliei. This bird has
been reported to catch numbers of
small grasshoppers; and six specimens
taken in Nebraska after Western loou.ts
had begun to fly hai eaten 223 of these
these insects an average of thirty
eight to each bird. Five specimens
studied by Professor Forbes had eaten
ants, wasps, inchncumon flies, ground
beetles, fungus beetles, curcullos, leaf
beetles, two-wingel flies and certain
bugs. The benefits derived from this
bird appear to be much cr eater than anv
injury it may do in eating predaceous
or parasitic insects. New York Voice.

What is Homo Without
APOL
Bhe fal Forgotten Her Teeth. -
Two very swell young women got
on a down-town elevated train sev
eral afternoons ago at Fiftieth street.
It was easy to see that they were
way up in the social senile. Thej
took seats in one of the cross scats in
the first car. The car was well tilled.
When the train stopped at the
Forty-second street station the taller
of the two young women said some
thing to her companion which made
her laugh. That laugh revealed a
void where pearly teeth should be,
and the charm was broken.
It must have been the first time
the young woman had lauahed sinca
she left her houc. She changed color,
clapped her band to her mouth, and
startled the car by exclaiming:
"Oh, Lillian, 1'vo forgotten my
teeth:"
The two young women Jumped up
Quickly, and rushed out of the car jut
as the train was starting. Laughter
rippled through the car all the way
to the Battery. 2ev York Hcraid.
