The International Sunday School lesson for September 27th, being the last of the third quarter of the year, will be a review of the preceding twelve lessons. The golden text' is found in Psalm xxvii., 1. The central sugges the whole book of I. Samuel and chap- ters i. and ii. of II. Samuel, also Psalm viii., xix. and xxvii. The his- torical setting of the quarter is as follows : What--The story two Kingdoms. Name and cach. Where--Jerusalem and neighboring places in Palestine, Name and locate then. When--From 1095 to 1065 B.C. Who--Samuel, ul, David, Goliath, Jonathan. Describe each briefly. What nation did each represent ? Why-- Illustrating and exemplifying God's dealing with men and nations. Some challenge questions in connec tion with the lesson as follows : Name six #triking traits of Saul's character. 3 Name six striking traits of David's character.' : What four things are essential to national success ? What five things are essential to in- dividual success ? What qualities do you choosing a friend ? What is implied and involved in for- giving one's enemies ? If 'all the threads in the loom of the weaver of tapestry were alive they might complain that they were stretch- ed and twisted in 5 confused and pat- ternless fashion. But the workman would tell them to' trast him, and he would blend them in the end into an exquisite desigh. Many a human life seems lived to no purpose and to be only a blemish upon the fair coloring of those with whom it is associated. But. the Divine Workman can turn it to good use, and we may trust Him to do so. Not imfrequently even here we perceive how some life, supposed to be fruitless, has proved rich in bless: ing and even in beauty to some oth- er. Can we not believe that all lives have "their fitting places amd. uses in the great design of the Father? Flow- ers of rare beauty often spring wp in the midst of seeming desolation; where nobody thinks of lookine for them but God antl His holy angels. God found a place for David.

It is related of him, Youth's Companion, that, when one of his operas was being presented, he entered, in i a fashionable restaur- himself down at a ta- ble, thinking earnestly about the mu- sical event of the evening and about A waiter brought him a bill of fare, and M, Meithae, quite ahstractedly in- dicated with his finger the first dish on the bill that his eye had struck. It happened to be the most elaborate and costly dish on the bill, and when the waiter went to the kitchen with order, there was a commotion there. The proprietor himself arrived, and he and the cook devoted~themselves to the preparation of the famous dish. One man was sent for this choice ingredient and another for another. Meanwhile, M. Meilbac waited, ab- sorbed. At last the dish was brought with a great flourish, and the proprietor stdod not far away to observe the re- sult. When it was deposited on the ta- ble Meithac looked at it with an ex- pression of melacholv interest. "Did T order that?" "Certainly, monsieur." "Do you like it?" \ "But--but, ves, monsieur." "Then, please take it away. and eat it yourself," ordered Meilhac, "and bring me two fried eggs." The ¢rder was carried out, and the proprietor wondered if he had a mad- man to deal with. The absent-mindédness of a certain well-known profdssor led to an amus- ing scene the other day. He was walk- ing along a quiet street when, on turning a corner, he came upon his friend, Dr. P--. Tt was a warm day, and Dr. P-- was standing with his hat held upside down in his left hand, while with his right he wiped his persbiring cotnten- ance. The professor, his eves on the oround, dimly pereeived the motionless ficure. He stopped, mumbled some- thing, thrust 4 thumb into his waist- coat pocket, ad dropped a coin into the bat. He then passed on, leaving the doctor, thus mistaken -for a beg- gar, speechless with astonishment. A clergyman walking one day in the country, fell into thoucht, He was so accustomed to ride, that, when he found Himself at a toll he stopped and shouted to n "Here ! S "Pay for what?' a an. "For my\horse 7' said the clergy- man. 'What horse ? sir," "Bless pe!" exclaimed the clergy- man, looking down between his legs, "I thought I was on horseback." " There's no horse, In illustration of the abseni-minded- ness of the great Jonathan Edwards, this story is told. When out riding one day, a little boy very respectfully bowed and opened the gate for him. "Whose boy are you, my little man ?"' he asked, "Noah Clark's boy, sir," was the answer. On the 'return of Edwards, the same boy appeared and opened the gate for him, He thanked the little fellow, and again asked : "Whose boy are you?" "Noah Clark's, sir; the same man's boy I was a quarter of an hour ago, sir." Sidney Smith was not in general ab- sent-minded; but he savs that once, when calling on 4 friend in London, and being asked by the servant, "Who shall I say has dalled ?' he could not for the life of him recollect his own name, and stared in blank confusion at' the man for some time before it came back to 'him. The first Lortl Lyttleton was very absent-minded. It id declared of him that, when he fell into the river by the upsetting of his boat at Hagley. "he sank twice before he recollected that he could swim." "Ah, mused the absent-minded man, "'here ik a string tied about my finger. Now, what could niy wife have wanted that to remind me of ? Let me see." He thought for some time, but could not decide what it might have been, so he YT'll go home 'and ask her what it | was." At the door he was met by his wife, and he immediately gsked her. "Why, my dear," she smiled, "I tied that string round your finger to re- mind you to come home.

(Another Railroad In Forestry. yvlvaria railroad has or- young locust trees, which are to be set out this fall on land owned by the company, and it is the intention that the policy thus begun of raising timber for the use of the road will be continued by the plant ing of additional trees each year here- after, Some experimental work has been done" along the middle division of the road for two years pa%t, and several thousand trees are 'already in flourishing comdition. : The company owns a large number of tracts of lands at various points along its lines, where, in purchasing rights of way, it has been necessary to buy more land than was needed for the tracks. Some of the farms thus bought have been leased and are occupied by tenants; but in many cases where the soil is suitable for the cultivation of the locust, it is the in- tention of the company to terminate the leases which are now in force. While locust is not the best wood for ties, and while so extensive an es- tablishinent as the Pennsylvania reil road will need large quantities of this timber for posts, ete., still the need of a large supply of ties and the in- creasing difficulty in getting good ties at reasonable prices has been, we understand, a principal factor in de- termining the company to enter upon this extensive forestry work. True to its habitual recoguition of the ideal and the human as well as the prac- tical and cold sides of things, the Pennsylvania does not go to a desert otf a mountain, but plants its trees where they may benefit its neighbors, the farmers. ; PROTECT YOUR VALUABLES Our Patent Home Safes are Fire and Waterproof Half the weight and half the price of others.
