A BROTHER'S SELF-SACRIFICE, VS. 30-34. INTRODUCTION--The years of fax ine predicted by Joseph have come, The .and of Canaan as well as Egypt, feels the pinch of famine. Driven hy hunger, Joseph's brothers come down from Canaan to Egypt in search of food. They are thus brought under Joseph's power, and 'ndeed into per- sonal touch with him. What a reverse of fortines! They had left him in a pit (87: 24); they find him on a throne. He had been in their power: they are row in his. They pay two visits to Egypt; and although Josepit recognizes them, they do not recognize him. On the occasion of their second visit, he places his valuable divining cup in Benjamin's sack; and on its being found he demands that Benja- min should be detained in Egypt as one guilty of theft. The scene has all the elements of tragedy--Joseph, the despised brother, now clothed with ab- solute power; Benjamin, the father's present favorite and the innocent vic- tim of others' guilt; the brothers pros- trate with fear and grief; and the aged Jacob: waiting anxiously at home for the return of the beloved Benjamin. I. THE ELOQUENCE OF LOVE, vs. 18-23, Judah, who from the first seems to have been of finer stuff than the others (37: 26, 27), comes forward as their spokesman. His speech is re- garded as the finest instance of He- brew oratory--tender, moving, and full of pathos and beauty. Luther once wished that he could plead with God as Judah pled with Joseph. His deep love for Jacob and for Benjamin has fired him with true cloquence. He begins by showing Joseph the utmost deference, v. 18. Surrounded with such, pomp and circumstance, he is well aware that he is speaking to one he skilfully reminds Joseph that it was at his, Joseph's insistence, that Benjamin was ever brought to Egypt. Conscience has at last humbled the brothers. In a flash the memory of their early guilt confronts them, v. 16. Conscience, now active, is busily at work--*"His brother 's dead," v. 20. Judah hasn't the remotest notion chat it is Joseph who stands before him; a the greater, therefore, will be the surprise of the brothers when Joseph finally discloses himself to them, Ju- ash is advancing every consideration AND AS A BUSINESS BOOMER XT SAY WE DON'T "Te DOLE. we Do. : "| NOT wAnT we DOLE- MOTT MUTT AND JEFF-- By BUD FISHER THE DOLE RUINED CHINA- \T COST ENGLAND MILLIONS OF POUNDS STERLING.

To "set one's eyes upon a person" (v. 21), is a Hebrew expressicn, meaning "to take a person under one's protection and. show him favor." Will Joseph not stand by his promise now and be lenient with Benjaniin? The flight of the years, together with the present troubles, have obviously purged the spirit of the brothers. Very different from the base deceit shown the father when Joseph was sold (37 31, 32) is the tender concern for him in vy. 22. II. A TROUBLED OLD AGE, vs. 24-20. Judah now lifts the veil from the grief at home. - Jacob is in an acute dilemma, On the one hand he must have food. Severe as the famine was in Egypt, it was worse still in Can- aan. Even in good years the harvests of Canaan were not comparable with those of Egypt. Further, there had been no such prudent storing. of grain i Canaan as there iad been, under Joseph's administration, in Egypt. Throughout histor, when men felt the pinch of famine in Canaan, they al- ways looked with lonRing to Egypt, the land of plenty. On the other hand, Jacob's sons remind him that it is useless to send them to Egypt for more corn unless Benjamin s sent with them, We are made to feel poignantly the anguish of the fathes. Will he let Benjamin go? But what if he is bereft of him as he was of Joseph? Jacob's cup of sorrow is over- flowing. Yet in all this it is the jus- tice of God overtaking him. These troubles of his unhappy old ege are the sure retribution of the wrongs ne had long ago done his own brother, Esau. Tortured with 'anguish of spirit, he trembles at the verge of Sheol, the shadowy abode of the dead. III. A BROTHER'S SELF-SACRIFICE, VA. 30-34. Judah's nobility now rises to im pressive grandeur. He has given his solemn pledge to his fatter than Ben- jamin will be restored to him. But if the governor of Egypt is determined to hold Benjamin, his pledge will re broken and yet another wrong done {o the father. Once is enough! He pleads passionately that he :nay be permitted to remain as a slave in Benjamin's stead. Better slavery than to face his grief-stricken father! Joseph cannot long hold out against such utter self. abnegation; the brothers are prepared in the spirit for forgiveness. ONLY A TRIFLE A young, newly-married couple were out for their first spin in a sec: ond-hand car they had bought, They covered several miles, then hubby, who was driving, became con- scious that something was wrong, and brought the car to a halt by the roadside. i i "Have a look at the back tire on your side, darling," he sald, "and see if there is anything wrong with it."

The papers read and discussed had for their chief purpose the con siderztion of Canada's position in mining and metallarpy in relation to the mineral resources of the Empire as a whole: + = The central topic of this year's gen- eral meeting of the Institute was, per- haps, the paper read by Dr, Charles Camsell, Deputy Minister of Mines, Ottawa, eutitled "Mineral "Position vf | the British Empire" In this paper Dr. Camsell disclosed some interest- ing facts, based on a comprehensive study the has conducted during the past four years, It is no secret that the results from this study, presented at the last Imperial Conference in London, carried great weight with the members, According to Dr. Camsell's address in Montreal, the British Empire, view- ed as an economic unit or group, rather than as individual countries, ig in a position, potentially at least, of unique strength. Of the 28 most im- portant metals and minerals the Brit- ish Empire possesses 21 in such abun- dance as to have large quantities available for export. Of the remain- ing seven the Empire possesses two in quantities adequate for its -uwn needs. For one the Empire is prac- tically dependent on outside sources, and for four it is almost entirely so dependent: No other single country, or group of countries so associated occupies a position comparable to that of the British Empire in respect of supplies of mineral raw materials. tl i Aviator Travels Faster Than Speed of Bullet Man is able to travel today with the speed of a bullet. When Flight Lieutenant Stainforth, of the British navy, winner of the 1931 Schneider Trophy race, madc a speed for the first lap of 415.6 miles an hour, h actually went faster than the ma mum speed of a bullet from a Briti. service revolver. This bullet has a muzzle velocity of 650 feet a second, or 409.09 miles an hour. Therefore, i. a revolver were fired just as the flyer passed in theory the bullet might be expected 'o travel along beside the ship and the flyer might feel safe in reaching ovt and touching it, or even putting it in his pocket while it was still proceeding al full speed. The flyer's speed might also be said to have been faster than the average speed of a Springfield rifle bullet, says "Popular Mechanics Magazine." Such a missile leaves the muzzle at 2,663 feet a second, equal to 1,808.9 miles an hour, and its average speed over its fective range of 1,000 yards is 1,270 miles an hour. However, after the bullet has covered its effective range it floats on and on, until, slowed down by air resistance, it drops oo the ground spent. At the end of its flight it* has very little speed, and if the average is taken i' is found to be less than for the plane at top speed. The bullet would win, however, if the p.ane's speed were averaged in the same way. ne ONE WAY He took his ticket leisurely at the booking office of a suburban station but, on hearing the train approach, made. more haste than speed to the platform. He was going well until, when nearly at the top of the steps leading to the platform, something caused his foot to slip. Hig hat had wobbled on to his brow, his bag and umbrella betook themselves one to the right and one to tha left, but he regained these rossesgions in a grasp-all sort of fashion while on his knees. Then he looked up at the official at. the gate, and inquired: "Is this the way to the Glasgow train?" "Ye, sir," was the unsympathetic reply; "you can come that way it you wish, but It looks bad!" issn IT's A WECKLY WAGE THE GOVERNMENT GIVES A MAN FOR NOT WORKING Metallurgy, held last month in| - 4 Sathering really. re-§ | ling of a handbill, which recently a Rotterdam Chemists Adver- tises by Plane--Other ?

Taxi Men Cut Rates A rate war between the so-called stationed taxicab, which are sub- ject to stringent municipal rules and traffic police control, and the "free" taxi owners, who have no fixed ata- tion and are not allowed to solicit customers by driving very slowly, has recently resulted in the estab- lishment at Amsterdam of the low- est taxl fates in the world, It is re- ported, Amsterdam taxi fares are sald to be even cheaper than those in Paris or Berlin, A uniform price of ten Dutch cents ($0.04) per kilometer, is charged, which figures out at about six American cents a mile," including the first mile.

WHO s5Avs we DON'T WANT 7 plants may get hardened before (he cold weather sets in. To ald in this process, which takes two or three months, it is a good plan to plant a few low-growing plants such as Pan * sies, Calendulas, Violas or Dwarf Nas- turtinms around the roses, which will brighten up the bed and benefit the bushes by absorbing moisture. At this time 'a good quick-acting fertilizer is advised. After July, however, a slower fertilizer, such as liquid manure, or hone meal, should be used, Provide Supports Too often the average flower garden is disfigured by odd shaped stakes, hoops and wiré used to support tatler » flowers and shrubs, Much trouble cam be avoided by giving: things plenty of room so that main stems are stocky and side growth develops, but certala : tall plants such as Delphinium, Phlox, Cosmos and Dahlias require some sup- port even when grown under the best conditions, other wise, they will fall over or become entangled when hit by high winds or heavy rain. If all stakes used are stained a neutral greea ot brown they will blend with the packground, and will be practically hidden a few weeks after placing, As a matter of fact, we should try to make our flowers conspicuous and not our carpentry. For bushy plants like the Peony or Delphinium the writer has found a simple galvanized wire circu lar support sufficient. Use heavy, good quality wire, Cut in pieces of from two to four feet in length, depending on the height required. Put a small loop about an inch in diameter at one end, then bend in a half circle with & foot or so left.over, which should be turned straight down. This will give you a half circle with support. Do the game with another piece of wire, only making the circle in the opposite di rection, and then fasten both pieces loosely together by putting supporting parts through the loop, thus making a complete circle with two supporting pieces at opposite sides. After a trial or two, the manufacture of these sup- ports will ha very simple. Size of the circle and length of suporting pleces will, of course, depend on the size of plant in view. These supports should ha placed while growth is still short so that the plant will develop in and around the wire, thus hiding same and getting maximum support, Climbing roses should be attached to a light wooden trellis and preferably kept a foot or more away from stone or brick walls so that foliage and bloom will not be injured by reflected heat, Aa yid tennis net, brush or strings make pest support for sweet peas.
