The King's Adviser. King Charles XIL of Sweden, who 'came to the throne at the early age of fifteen, went out riding one time in company with his cousin, the Dike of Holstéin, and a Tew other gentle- man of the court. On the way they came upon a pile of timber standing ' the roadside. - The Duke of Hol- stein suggested to the King that the 'company try their skill by riding over e pile on their horses. Charles as- ted, and insisted on being the first go over, But just as he was about to dig his spurs into his horse, tells Das Buch fur Alle, Count Wacht- pister seized the bridle and.said to King, "Don't you try to ride over that!" > The Duke of Holstéin became an- . "How dare you cross the wish of the King!" he. exclaimed. s#Calmly - Wachtmeister "Say what you will, my nob doit" + Holstein the reined up to him and replied wrathfully, "You do not seem to know with' whom you are speak- ing." i Tt ,4%Oh, yes," said the other, laughing scornfully, "I am speaking with the Duke of Holstein. But will you kind- 1y recall that you are addressing Count Wachtmeister, the Royal Ad- viser. And as I said before, my King shall' not break his neck by such a wild and dangerous jump.. Perhaps you were thinking of becoming the King of Sweden in that event. But you won't 80 long as Hans Wache- nieister lives." ! ; it "Just then th eyoung King, who was standing by listening to the discus- sion, rode up to his adviser, and tap- ng him: on. the shoulder 'approving- ly, said to the company, 'No, gentle- men, I ghess we won't jump that pile. It is a bit dangerous." -And'with that they continued on their way in si- lence.. SAR > answered, King shall . Care of Milk Bottles and Utensils. Milk bottles are made for milk, and not to hold sundry other foods. As soon as the milk bottle is empty it should be rinsed with lukewarm water until it is clean, and then set bottom- side-up to drain. . Bottles should never be returned in a dirty or filthy condi- tion. All utensils with which milk comes. in contéict should be * rinsed, washed, Bnd scalded every time they ' cleaning these uten- If] calmer, knowing better what life is, | let the ' a t Germans in Great Britain. "The recent menace to the lives, and more-often the destruction of the property, of Germans, or of persons who happen to bear German names, read us one lesson," he says. "We must tolerate no more mob law. - The authors of the recent riots are all of them fools. A few them are thieves. Allow me to 'recapitulate the untold injury which these men have already inflicted upon the country: "(1) The rioters have comforted Germany. «They have deprived Eng- land of that visible calmness which is the source of half her strength. Every German will now believe that England is panic-struck. "(2) The rioters have made it ap- pear, false though the impression be, that the Government, in guarding against the real danger to the coun- try which may arise from the acts of German criminals and traitors, is act- ing in obedience to the commands of the mob. . . "(8) The rioters, as the very stu- pidest. 0 fthem must now perceive, keep at home for the preservation of order British soldiers who long to be employed in driving the enemies of humanity from France and Belgium, '%"¢4) The rioters, or the best of them, dream that in wrecking the property and menacing the lives of Germans, they are doing a work of justice. No delusion is sillier or leads to more odious wrongdoing. ~ A méb can never perform the duties of a judge; it ought never-to be allow- ed to play the part of an executioner. "(5) The rioters will in their sober moments. maintain that .they have hurried on just legislation, This alle- gation is essentially futile, Hurry is never the companion or the servant of justice. The very argument, on which some apologists for popular violence may: rely, throws a ground- Jess slur upon the Parliament of Eng- land." bh aimee apy THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY. The first duty of a man is still that '| of subduing fear.--Carlyle, Some people seem to think 'that Death is the only reality in life.-- Hare. " To strive with difficulties and to conquer them is the highest human felicity.--Johnson. A man may live in dreams and yet be unprepared for their realization.-- R. L. Stevenson. When it comes to the point really bad men are just as rare as really good men.--Bernard Shaw. It is a great step in the interpre- tation of life when we have discover- ed that all events are ultimately spiri- tual, --Brierly. Getting money is not all a man's business. - To cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life. --Dr. Johnston. Life never seems so clear and easy as whensthe heart is beating faster at the sight of some generous, self- risking deed.--Geo. Eliot. 1 do not say we ought to be happier as we grow older, but we ought to be and looking forward to another, 'though we cannot tell what it means. --Jowett. : -- _' Definition of a Term.

In the tablets from Baby- lonia and Assyria the ambassadors before a king sre represented with their faces actually touching the ground. Live Forever--Oriental exaggera- tion (see Dan. 2. 4; 8. 9; 5. 10; 6.21; Neh. 2. 8). Bath-sheba, however, im: plied that in Solomon and his succes- sion David would live forever. 82. Call to me--The priest, the prophet, and the captain of the body- guard were called to show the people that the proceeding had the king's sanetion, and that Sélomion, not Ado- nijah, was the chosen successor. v 83. The servants of your lord-- Bepaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was captain of the Cherethites and Pele- thites (2 Sam. 8. 18; see also 1 Kings 1. 88), who formed the royal body- guard (see also 2 Sam. 15. 18; 20: 6, 7). A large body of armed men; evidently, was to accompany the priest, the prophet, and Solomon, Mine own mule--Mules and horses seem to have been used by the Israel- ites for the first time in the reign of David. Mules were used especially by. the king's 'household (see 2 Sam 18. 29; 18.9). To 'ride on the king's mule was a special mark of distine- tion. For a similar Oriental custom see ef. 41. 43; also 2' Kings 10.716. /, Bring Him Down to Gihen--Gihon wag probably in the valley of Jehoga- phat, on the southeast of Jerusalem (see Chron. 32. 30; 83, 14). The pool of Siloam was near by. In verse 8 we read that Adonijah chose En- Rogel (a pool of water) as his place of mustering. Each party could 'see the other from their respective meet-~ ing places. That a pool of water was chosen by each leads to the thought of purification as a part of the anoint- ing. i 84. Anoint him there--For other instances of kingly anointing see 1 Sam. 10. 1; 16. 13; 1 Kings' 19. 16; 2 Kings 9. 8, 6; 2 Chron. 23.11; see also Jotham's parable, Judg. 9. 9. Blow 'ye the trumpet--To attract Adonijah's patry at En-Rogel so that they should understand what had been done. This also would draw the faith- ful followers of David to the support of Solomon and cut short any show of armed rebellion by Adonijah. Ab- salom had used the trumpets when he was made king (2 Sam. 15. 10). They are mentioned again at the proclama- tion of Jehu (2 Kings 9. 18) and of Joash (2 Kings 11. 14), 86. Prince over Israel -- A title given by Jehovah to those who were |to lead his people (1 Sam. 9, 16; 10. 1; 2.5 80; 2 Kings 20. 5; 2 Chron. 11. 22). The greatest of all Jehovah's leaders was to be "Messiah," the Prince (Dan. 9. 25), or "the Anointed One." 86. Amen--That is, "so let it be," but only. as Jehovah should say so too (see "Jer. 28. 6). However Da- vid's servants' might wish David's de- sive to be fulfilled; it could come to pass only as Jehovah willed. 87. Make his throne greater--This would please David, rather than dis- please him. (See verse 47; 1 Chron. desire; 1 Kings 10; 2 Chron. 9.) : IL The Anointing (Verses 38-40). ¥ 39.
