ravine behind it, from the house roof
itself from everywhere a multitude
of solemn monkeys. They came up
Singly and in couples and in families

or fuss on the reranOB and sat there,
like an audience waiting for an en

everything was ready, the breakfast

went to call my wife.
"Breakfast is ready and they ore

to be alone and I was just coming
out in my dressing gown."
"Never mind," I said. "The people
about here an' not very fashionably
dressed themselves. They wear pret

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Moses' Birth (vs. l, ).- Moses' par
,1 ents belonged to the tribe of Levi, and
we are told their nanus in t: JO; num.
20:59; Moses' father being named Am-
ram, nnd his mother Jochebed. The
scattered conditions under which the
Hebrews lived would make it possible
with care nnd with the loyalty of
neighbors to conceal the existence of
a child for some time. "As the child
grew older, its cries stronger nnd the
time close at hand when it would be
gin to move about, the hiding became
less and less easy. Perhaps signs
that Moses' existence was .suspected
were visible to the watchful eyes of
his mother.
Moses liescue (vs. 3-8). The bas
ket in which Moses was exposed was
probably not made especially for
that purpose, the word "took" indi
cating that it was at hand, perhaps
in the equipment of the house. The
bitumen and pitch were carefully
spread over it to make it water-tight.
The (lags by the Nile would keep the
basket from floating away. The se
lection of a spot near the princess'
bathing place was probably designed
by Moses' mother, who may have
heard enough about the princess tocon-1
I vines her that she would be inclinid to
ha lanital tna'nrit t h a hnlnlaaa eliiM '
Miriam was some years older than
Muse the word maid used of her:
In versa 8 indicating a girl not much
less than 1! years old at, the young-J
est. Tl ' ark was so placed that the :
prlncei could not help noticing it
and Id appearance was so
that her curiosity about it was nat
ural. The cryine- of the child thus ap
parently abandoned would touch her
heart, and Miriam's approach with a
: defiuito suggestion while she was in
this mood fixed her resolve very
quickly. The plan for keeping Moses
in his mother's care in infancy and
then having him educated by the
ICgyptians worked perfectly.
Moses' Training (vs. 9, 10). The pe
riod during which Moes would be left
in the care of his mother-nurse would
last until he wss old enough to begin
I his systematic training at court. Dur
ing this time his mother most natural
ly felt that she had him in trust in a
double sense, inasmuch as she must
take care of him both for the princess
and for God. The wages doubtless
amounted to more than any income the
Hebrew family had had before. Her j
training of Moses in the traditions
of the race was thorough, as his later
knowledge of them, when he had not'
lived among his people for GO years, j
shows The formal delivery to the)
princess probably took place when 1
Mu.-,es was about eight years old.
After that time Moses would see his!
mother only on such visits as it is nat-
ural tor a boy to pay to Ins nurse. J he
education of a youth situated as Most a
was, in tbt palace, involved a thorough
training in reading and hieroglyphic
Writings, in athletics on.! warfare, in
the sciences as they were known to the
Egyptian priests, and In certain more
or less spiritual doctrine- and myster
ies which were kept secret among the
priesthood, This training was prob
ably on the secular side th" best edu
cation to be hud then anywhere in the
world.

.Natural affection is by no means th
possession of everybody. Not every
mother loves her child, and not every
child loves its mother. Sin in the I
world, nnd the effects of tin are to be
set n on every side. Everybody ought
to have natural efftction. Every moth
er oupht to love her child, and every
child ought to love its mother. On this
account, therefore, every child of God,
and every man of Ood, ought to strive
to cultivate and develop natural af
fection, and mors than natural af

recent Virginia constitutional conveu
' tion, soys the Cincinnati Enquirer,

olution was introduced by a delegate
at the reqvest of "an estimable lady
of southwest Virginia:"
" hci ens. The women of v irg.tiia
pay one-tenth of the taxes of the
state, und frequently support their
husbands and sons while the latter
are drinking such fluids that would
kill the higher order of animals;
chewing what the goat would eichew,
and Smoking what will exterminate
vermin, and keeping such hours that
produce pygmies instead of men; and
"Whereas, There is not enough
moral courage in eitner white or col
ored electorate to pass moral, reli
gious or wholesome luws; and
"Whereas, There is a problem more
serious and dangerous that man can't
solve and women can, and now in Vir
ginia it is the white women's bur
den; therefore,
"Resolved, That every white female
citien of the United States, SI years
old, who shall have been a resident
of this statu 12 months, and of the
county, city or town in which she
shall otTer to vote three months next
preceding any election, shall be en

He claimed to have come from Ken
tuckv to Kansas, but he was reticent
when questioned about his past life.
A few years ago he removed to Pratt
county, and a few months ago he be
came fatally ill, and then on bis
deathbed he made a confession which
disclosed him to have been a mon
strous criminal. He had murdered his
first wife in Kentucky and had nlso
killed a neighbor. Besides, he told
of numerous felonies, such as house
breakings and highway robberies, and
said that he had lived under assumed
names for many years. "Mis neigh
bors," says the I .. :ider-Courier, "were
so horrified that they refused to take
part in or allow a Christian burial,
but instead went out to a secluded
spot on his farm nnd dug a hole and
dumped him in, unhonored nnd with
out a single tear of regret."
That baseball is a rest cure is the
thesis plausibly defended by a western
paper, which suggests that the enthu

game." If they like the game they
would want to play it, just as a fisher
man wants to nsn aim not iu naivu

yell, gesticulate, talk nonsense and act
in a way that, if they duplicated the

It has been discovered that a Chi

I as a specialty has been supplying tne
I county hospital there with 300 gallons
per day in which formalin has been
used as a preservative, thus rendering
the milk apn-nutrltious in all and
poisonous in many cases. Those
housewives who have been congratu
lating themselves that they have at
last found a milkman whose piilk is so
"good" it will not sour even during the
hottest weather, had better change
milkmen.
