Signet, or seal-ring, Which gamma-l lidity to the documents to whigh it was affixed, and Pharaoh dditis'irltted to Joseph the chief 'a‘uthérity ot the state. T The Baker's Dream Doubtless expecting'a. similarly happy interpretation, the chief liaker related him dream. On Pharabh's birthday,, soon after, Joseph's interpretations of the dreams were fulfilled. It was thirteen years now since Joseph was sold into Egypt. He was thirty years old, in thewfull maturity of his life, when his great opportunity came for which allyrihis brevidus'tire had been preparing, him. C Imaraoh'irNieAtns _ 'That ordihary tity/vids/ttave in our day, and had in th6mrauis, no spec-is ial significance, is undoubted.

" ;, these men were to receive 'any knew-u ledge beyond what their own unaided: efforts could attain, they -must be taught in a language they undenstood.' Then the chief butler recalled his promise to Joseph. Phgraoh imme- diately summoned Joseph. He was hastily taken out ot the dungeon, and when he had shaVeli himself and changed his raiment, as a swung, prince Should do, aidtil'by the ottid cers, he was brougVbetttre Pharaoh.

Suehfamines as J Qseph fore- told were by no means imlmown in Egypt. l [ Joseph pleaded with the butler to ask Pharaoh to release him from pri- son, telling him of his own sad story. But the butler, in hisr'joy over his restoration, forgot all "1trout'it. Joseph's Opportunity For two years more Joseph re- mained in prison, and Was as faith-; tul there as it he were in business for himself. The Wisé Men of Egypt uttenydail- ed. to interpret Pliara‘oh's dreams, when he told them. _ . r. I. Joseph's victory over temptation was another means of the greatest importance to accomplishing his life work and success. Joseph had be- come familiar with the house and its inmates. But Joseph refused every attempt to entrap him, even at the expense of being thrown for several. years into, an Egyptian prison. Joseph in Prison Even in the prison the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight ot the keeper of the prison. The Butler's Dream In 'his dream the chief butler found himself ministering to Pharaoh as usual. The three branches: tit the grapevine which the'butler saw, Jo- seph 'interpreted as three days, after which the butler was to_tpe. restored to freedom and to his customary em- ployment. The whole action ot the drama; pointed to a, ta'vorat"y1eririter- pretation. spotiphar soon found out the real character of Joseph. The Lord was with Joseph . . Potiphar soon learn- ed JosepWs capacity for business, his genial power of devoting himself to other men's interests, his clear integ- rity, so that he could find no more trustworthy seivant in all Egypt. ", Joseph was not so ignorant of the Egyptian language of that time, that he was unable to speak it. Joseph talked with Pharaoh. Altogether the times were exactly suited to the in- troduction of Joseph; his language would be understood.

The fire waste touches the pocket ot ev- ery man, womanand child in the Province. It is an indirect tax. It is paid in the cost of everything 'we eat,, drink and wear. Many have the false idea 'that it is the insurance com- panies who pay this colossal tax. The insurance companies collect the prem- iums and distribute them, as fire loss- es. The greater the fire loss, the more they must collect. If the fire loss is light the premiums also will be small. It is a serious indictment against such an intelligent peOple as we are'ttiivt 'm'ost of the money paid joy the insurance companies is for losses caused through carelessness.

In discuss- ing the situation, the Hon. Mr. Cre- rar said: “In View of the great scar- city of cattle and live, stock pt all kindsua Europe, .and because of the great demand, for live stock and live stock products of all kinds sure to continue tor some, years .at least, L am going to ask the farmers and live stock men _oti Canada to main- tain their breeding operations on a War, tinieswle, to properly finish all feeding stock, and to conserve all gopd 'breeding females, and to still further impwve. their herds and flocks by using even greater care in the selection of the sire."
