II, Jerolutuon, of Morrlstown, N. J.,
was BllPtit In his home, says nil ex

until (lcnth faced him. Then he broke
the onth, spoke to his wife, kissed her
nil (Hod.
One dny hnek In the '"On. after a
trifling quarrel, he mild to his wife:
"I'll never speak to you nKaln ns long
s I live." , At Hint time he was 58
years old. ITo kept his vow and lived
on, utterly lnnorltiK the woman who
had shared his Joys and sorrows so
Iohr. They lived In n cottnice. at Mount
Arlluston, Morris County; but, ns fur
lis Jerolninnn was conreruiHl, It was as
If his wife was not living.
She bore the sllclit without mur
mar. ITo- dined In sllenro and ntone,
and so did she. Often Mrs. Jcrolamen
had to speak to her husband In refer
enco to household uffntrs, but he never
answered.
He was a church member, belnjr ono
of the organizers of the Mount Arling
ton Methodist Kplsoopnl Church. In
1874 tho town was divided on the ques
tion of prohibition. Tho old man tried
to Induce the members of the church
to Indorse the cold water ticket at tho
town election, but they refused. Ho
wore that ho would never go to
church again. He kept his word In this
as he had toward his wife.
Thus his life went on In silence and
gloom until a recent Monday. Then ho
could not arise In the morning, for
pneumonia had laid Its grip upon him.
He was 80 years old and he felt that
ho could not recover. Ills wife bent
over him with the love that all . his
harshness had never killed. He saw
tho light In her eyes, and feebly essay
lug to take her hand he sobbed:
"Dear, I'm so sorry. Will you forgive
tner
Forgive him? Would she? Kneeling
by the dying man's bedside, she wept
softly, while he, with tongue freed at
Inst, rambled on deliriously about old
times. She did not leave htm until tho
end came. He died with his hand In
hers and a look of hnpplnoss that his
face had not borne In twenty years.

The Impression prevails In many
ailnds that coffee Is extremely Inju
rious to tho nerves nud also to the
ilver. How truo this may be It Is not
wtsy to decide. Normal constitutions
do not, ns a rule, seem to find coffee In
moderation In the least degree Inju
rious. Dyspeptics niny experience dis
tress from Its use, but according to
some carefully-conducted experiments,
It Is quite as likely to be the sugur and
eieam In the coffee ns tho coffee Itself.
Persons who have been In the hnblt of
taking coffee prepnred In tho usual
fashion and havo found' It to disagree
with them have tried blnck coffee with
out Btigar or crenm with most excellent
results. From which It mny nppenr
that the caffeine may not bo so Inju

been used In cases of myocarditis with
excellent effect. Small doses of cuf

The oddest predicament In which
an ostrich over found itself lately be
fell one of the huge birds belonging to
a Houth African farmer. This ostrich
stole anil bolted, while steaming hot,
a big dumpling. The bird's regret
was immediate and visible. Iu his
struggle to get rid of the ilery thing
within him Mr. Ostrich twisted his
supple neck around one of his legs
and succeeded in tying it in a knot.
It required three men and half an

Ills Prayer.
The Boston Transcript tolls a story
of a littlo boy on a visit. Ho had not
been taught to say his prayers, and
when he saw the little boys of the
house say theirs lie bad a sense of not
being "iu it" nt all and went to bed
melancholy. The second night came
and lie beard tho children once more
go through w hat was to him their re
markable rigmarole,ending iu "amen,"
and when they wore done he Bnid:
"Auntie, I want to say my prayers,
too."
"Very well, go on," she answered.
Tho boy went down prettily ou his
knees, and rattled off:
"First iu wnr, llrst iu pence, and
first in theheurts of his country meul"
Then he rose, proudly conscious of
having done the right thing.
Freatdent Aduma Trees.
Thousands of Americans travel far
to visit the White House and walk
through its grounds, yet few of them
know one of the most interesting facts
connected with the place, that is that
John Quincy Adams, when he was
president, planted most of its flue
trees, l'resident Adams was full of
energy; for months he made a practice
of Bwimming across tho Potomac every
day; then lie took to walking around
the capitol square for an hour every
mornig, then he found the best exer
cise ot all in attending to the planting
of the White House grounds with trees;
they were very bare iu this respect,
and he went into the whole science
and art of plantation with an enthusi
asm very like Hir Waltor Hoott's on
the same subject. He was then fifty
eight years old, but he wrote about
the growth of his oaks and chestnuts
as eagerly as a schoolboy would about
huntiug.
A Wonderful Timepiece.
An American traveler in Japan onco
saw a rare and wonderful Japaueso
timepiece, snys the Jewelers' Keview.
He described it as being in a frame
three feet wide and five feet long, rep
resenting a noouduy landscape of
great loveliness. In the foreground
were plum aud cherry trees aud rich
plants in full bloom, iu the rear a hill
gradual iu ascent, from which flowed,
or seemed to flow, a cascade, admir
ably imitated in crystal. From this
point a threadlike stream glided along
encircling rocks and islands in its
windings, finally losing itself in a far
off stretch of woodland. In a mi na
ture sky above a golden sun turned on
a silver wire, striking the hours on
silver gongs as it passed. Each hour
was marked on the frame, and indi
cated by a slowly oreeping tortoise,
which served in the place of a hand or
pointer. A bird of exquisite plumage
sang at the close of each hour, and as
the song ceased a mouse sprang from
a grotto near by and scampering over
the hill in the garden, was soon lost
to view.
Hector and II U Family.
A few years ago, when living in a
state in the northwest corner of the
United States, we bought a pair of
fine bronze turkeys thoroughbreds.
We named them Heotor and And
romache. The names, perhaps, may
account for Hector's deeds. Needless
to say, they were a very devoted
couple. Indue time Andromache laid
some nice eggs. The first were given
to an old hen ; and about the time these
were hatched, Andromache concluded
to have a family of her own. Hlyly
hiding her nest in an old brush pile
she laid some beautiful eggs, and for
some time it was thought she bad
been carried off to furnish a lunch for
some swell set of ooyotes. Heotor,
bowevor, serenely strutted aud gobbled,
aud was acknowledged lord and
monarch of the poultry yard, A hand
some and lordly fellow ha was, too,
and well worthy of his name, as he
proved.
Cue day be came strutting along,'
followed by hi meek wife and ten
benutiful turkey baliios. The sight
was one calculated to fill a turkey
father's heart with joy, ' A home was
(juiekly improvised, and Andromache
nud her babies established in it. The
home was a large dry-goods box, with
slats nailed across the front. Alus!
one night, about a weok after occupy
ing this home, a hungry coyote prowled
that way, and, tearing a slat from the
liox, in sight of Hector, the devoted
husband and father, lie quickly seized
and ate nine of thebnbies, and, throw
ing Andromache over his shoulder, he
silently trotted away. In the morning
we gazed on a pitiful sight a desolate
home, and Hector, the gallant father,
hovering over his one remaining child
nnd protecting it from the rain nnd cold.
Ho faithfully devoted his whole time
to caring for his motherless chilU, en
tirely forgotting his former occupation
of strutting; nor did he once strut
again till the wee turkey was large
enough to fly up to roost. When the
hen who hatched out the first turkey
brood left them to shift for themselves
Hector adopted them, aud for weeks
faithfully scratched for them or hunted
bugs from morn till night. At night
his broad wings protected them from
the cold. When the six adopted chil
dren were large enough to fly up to
roost Hector flew up with them, and,
taking the small tin ks on each side of
him, he carefully spread his broad
wings over them, his one wee child,
meantime, mournfully crying iu the
corner, till some one enme to tuck
him up beside his brothers nnd sisters.
Hector lived to a good old turkey age,
finally resuming his former strutting
ways, nud ended his days as is usual
with turkeys. Outlook.
DnlKV'i Afternoon Tea.
Daisy didn't quite know what to do.
Mnmmn had a headache, and wanted
to lie down, and had just asked her
to amnce herself for awhile, and had
given her a penny to spend at the
grocery store.
Daisy thought for some time as to how
sho should "amuso herself." At last
she said, "I will give an afternoon
ten."
Off Daisy trotted to the grocery
store, and with her penny bought a
moist, sticky lump, twisted up in
brown pnper, and the grocery mnn,
who wns a great friend of Duisy's,
when he heard of the afternoon ten,
gave her a handful of raisins besides.
Then she went home, and Delia, the
ook, gave her a glass of milk with
some cookies, and a big yellow banana.
Then Daisy took her own little
table and rocking chair out iu the
shade under the big elm, aud set the
table nicoly with a white cloth which
she had begged of Delia, and a beauti
ful bunch of flowers in the centre.
Then Bhe spread out her refreshments
aud sat down to wait for the company.
It was some time before anyone
come. Finally, Daisy saw what she
supposed was her own Kittie Clover,
but it wasn't. It was a strange kitty,
so poor and thin, aud so scared aud
shy that it was a lung while before
Daisy could coax her near to drink
Borne milk, but, whon sho did drink
she seomed to enjoy it so much that
Daisy was glad her own fat Kittio
Clover hadn't come to drink k up her
self. Just as the kitty was Hearing the
bottom of the glass, the arrival of a
new guest sent her running up the
elm tree ns fast as she could go. The
new guest was Prince, just home from
a ramble, hot and hungry; and he
finished the milk with two laps of his
great tongue, and then ate cookies till
Daisy called him "a greedy dog," and
said he shouldn't have another one.
Ho Prince thought he would take a
nap under the trees.
Daisy waited a little while longer,
and was thinking she wouldn't have
uny inure callers, when she saw a
weary couple coming down the road
a man with a hand organ, aud a tired,
dusty little monkey.
The man asked Daisy for a drink, so
she ran in to Delia for more milk and
cookies, nnd, while the man was en
joying his lunch, the monkey perched
on the edge of the table, nud ate the
big banana, piece by piece, from
D aisy's bands. Then the mau played
Borne tunes ou the hand organ, and
the monkey danced and did some
pretty tricks. He then politely lifted
his little red eap to Daisy, and held
out a tiny paw for her to shake. The
man lifted his cap also, and they went
off down the road.
It was almost night now, so Daisy
ate fhe moist, sticky lump and the
raisins herself. Then she ran in to
tell mamma about her first afternoon
tea, aud how delighted all her guests
were. And mamma was as much
pleased as Daisy. Baby land.
Blryela Ophthalmia.
The French medical journals just
issued announce the discovery of a
nevaformof eye disease,or ophthalmia,
which attacks cyclists. It is asserted
to be due to the fact that the air which
envelops the cyclist's heud when he is
traveling rapidly is auything but pure,
being charged with line dust aud the
substances of the road stirred up by
the wheel, the eye being opened to its
widest extent for the purpose of ob
serving any impediment or obstacle
that may lie in the path. The Paris
physicians have given this new form
of ophthalmia, which is prevalent in
France and apparently infectious, the
nuinu of the "cyclist eye."

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENT3
FOR DECEMBER 19,
Lenann Texti "John's NeMnge About Kin
and Hnliratloti," I ifntin 1., A to ll 0 i
(Inlden Teat! 1 John l, O T.eminfi
Commentary by the Iter, U. M. Slenrna,
8. "This then Is thn memago which we
have heard of Him aud ileelnro unto you,
thnt Ood Is light and In Win Is no dnrknnxs
at nil." John wroto his gospel that wn
might hellnve that Jesus Is tlm rhrlst, tlm
Bon ol Ood, and hnllnvlng have life In lliin
(John xx., 81). He wrote this epintlo thnt
we who bellore might know that we have
eternal life, ho full of iov and not sin
(Chapters v., 13; I., 4; II., 1). Knowing Josus
f personally, having heard nnd seen nnd
noked upon nnd handled Him, lie doc In res
II I m as the Word of Idfo, that we, too, may
hnve fellowship with him, nnd with
Ibe Father, and with Jesus Christ.
0. "If we ssy that we have fellowship
WUh Him nnd walk In darkless, wo lie and
do not tell the truth." From the beginning
of the Wide story light Is suggestive of ( lo l
and darkness of sin nml sntitu. Thn waste
and void nnd dark condition of things In
Onn.ll.,)9, sooms to have boen the result of n
Judgment, which must have come upon ths
earth, for, according to Isa. xlv,, IS, II. V.,
compared with Onn.l.,!l,Uod did notnrontu
the earth waste nnd void. Inn. xxxlv., 11,
and Jar. lv., 23, are the only other two
f lanes where we hnve thn same oomblnn
Ion ot Hebrew words as In Onn. I., 2, and
In each case a judgment Is manifest.
7. "But If we walk In the light, as Iln Is
In the light, we hnve fellowship one with
another, and the blood of Jesus Christ Ills
Bon clennsnth ns from nil sin." Light
shlnns, discovers, benutlfles, purlflen, for
light Is of Ood. Not onlv did Jesus Christ
av, "I am thn light of the world," hut II 'i
also snld to His own, "Ye are the light ol
ths world; lot your light so shine before
men that they mny see your good works
and glorify your i'nlher which Is In heaven"
(Math v., 14, 16). It wo walk with Ood, wo
ennnot but Walk In the light, but walking
with Ood Implies nt least two things vis.,
humility, such as Is not natural to us, nnd
ferfect agronmont with Ood about every
ulng (Mln. vl., 8, margin; Amos III., 8),
8. "It wo any that wo hnve no sin, we
deceive ourselves, nnd the truth Is not in
us." There are those who conclude from
the previous verse thnt all sbi, root nnd
branch, Is removed from their beings, but
, such a thought Is contrary to tho teaching,
of Horlpture, nnd surely the Holy Hplrit la
placing the statement of this verso just
where lie has sought to correct nnysunh
fnlse teaching. While we nro in these mor
tal bodies tho flesh or old nature remains
la us. nnd lustotn ngninst the Hplrit, but
the Hplrit Is also In us as children of Ood
ky faith In Christ Jesus and keeps us from
the things which otuorwlso wo might do
COal. v., 17, 11. V.).
8. "It we confess oar sins, ITo Is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins and to
eloanse us from all unrighteousness."
Whlla In the mortal body always delivered
to death for Jesus' sake I. e., tho death ol
suitor the flesh or sinful nature (II Cor.
Iv., 11), it we sin against God, as nIL are
liable to do, horo Is our comfort, that In
stant confession of sin brings Instant for
giveness through the blood of Christ, aud
then wo must go on moro watchfully aud
prayerfully.
10. "If we say that we have not sinned,
wo mnke III in a linr, nnd Ills word Is not
in us." John Is writing to those who nre
children of God by faith In Christ Jesus,
for only such as havo received Christ lire
children ot Ood (John I., 12). Others nro
bildren of the dovll even though they may
bo very religious, aocordlug to our Lord la
John vlll., 44.
a-1. "My littlo ehlldron, these things
writo I nnto you that ye siu not, and If nny
man sin we hnve an ndvocnta with the
Father, Jesus Christ tho righteous." Out
marching orders dny by day are to sin not.
We have boen redeemed by tho blood ol
Christ, that the righteousness of the law
might be fulfilled In as who walk not otter
the flesh, but after the Hplrit (Horn, vlll., 4).
Surely Ood has made full provisions for ut
to live this lifo whloh lie would have ua
live to Ills glory by our advocate or para
eloto with Him, Jesus Christ thn right
eous, and by our paraclete In us, the Holy
Spirit; yet so weak nre we and often so un.
watohful that notwithstanding the abun
dant provision we grieve both Fatuor, Hon
and Hpiiit.
!1, "And; Ho Is tho propitiation for our
sins, and not for ours only, but also for tho
sins of the whole world." rropltlntiou
here Bignllles atonement, reconciliation,
sacrifice, and that provided by Ood through
Christ Is suflloiout for all tho world. There
Is np forgiveness of sins apart from Him
and Ills great work, but In and through
Him there Is sufficient for all who will no.
eept Him, even for every soul on earth it
they will come. How shall tuoy oomo If
they do not hear?
8. "And hereby we do know that we
know Him if we keep His command
ments." Not faultless conformity, for
there Is none such on earth, nor ever was,
exoeptln Christ, but a hearty aaeeptanoe
of and willing subjection to His whole re
vealed will. He Himself said, "Ho that
bath My commandments and kaepctti
them, he it Is that lovotu Me."
4. "He that saith, I know Him, and
keepoth not His oommandmonts, Is a liar,
and the truth Is not in him." bo skillful Is
satan in perverting tho truth and In blind
ing poople that bo leads some to say, "Oh,
It does not matter very muoh how I live.
I believe is Jesus Christ; and therefore I
nm saved. It my lite is not quite correct,
I will only lose my works." Now suoh nre
evidently deoelvlng themselves, and nre
liars. Believing about Jesus Christ saves
no ono. He must be reoelved Into the henrt
nnd thnt is the Buriptural sense of believ
ing (John I., 12).
5. "Hut whoso kenpeth His word, In him
verily Is the love of Ood perfected. Hereby
know we that we are In Him." Wliea we
receive letters from those whom we love,
we treasure thein and read them many
times, and live on them. A mere casual
rending ot a letter, and thnt but onoe,
would not Indicate much love for the writer.
How, then, can those he snld to love God
who eare not for His word?
6. "He that saith he abldoth la Him,
ought himself also so to walk, evea as He
walked." He could say, "The Father bath
sent Me, and I live by the Father." Hut
lie also said, "As the Father hath sent Me,
so send I you," and "He that eateth Me,
even he shall live bv Me" (Johnvl.. 67; xx.,
21). Now He was here wholly for God,
peaking the words of Ood, doing the will
of God, always pleasing God. There is no
