Later an English firm turned out the machines in larger quantities watil they were superseded by the front- driven "bone-shakers" about 1870, These in turn gave place to the alimetal '"penny-farthings," which were followed by the safety bl: cycle we know today. . Unfortunately the' famous ma: chine which Macmillan rode "to Glasgow was broken up by his nephew, but an accurate copy of it . 1s in Dumfries Museum. Transatlantic.

'Measles Cz Called : Serious lliness Measles, as , identical with- child- "hood as hair ribbons and- school books, is described by a Harvard sclentist as. one of the most ser- tous of the infectious virus diseas- es, fraught with =~ dangerous com- piicatlon which make strictest {so- lation "'deslrable." Streptococcus infections, enza, pneumonia, tuberculosis, men: fngitls, rheumatic tever and pleural and intestinal disorders were po- tential outgrowths of measles, Dr. Charles F.

LESSON | SOLOMON: A RULER WHO BEGAN WELL "1 Kings 3:5-15 '. Golden Text.--Give thy servant therefore an understanding heart . +. that T may discern between good and evil." I.Kings 3:9, THE LESSON IN.ITS SETTING Time.--Solomon was "born in 1041 B.C,, and, assuming that he was about eighteen years of age when this dream came to him, the date for the episode recorded in -our-lesson would be about 1022 B.C. : ; Place.--The city of Gibeon was * located five miles northwest of Jerusalem, where today the mod- ern village bears the name ElJib, The career of Solomon is re- corded in I Kings 1:38 to 11:43, and in I Ch¥on."23:1 to 2 Chron. 6:31, Solomon was the son of Da- "vid and Bath-sheba., ~~ = 6. In Gibeon Jehovah ApRFa - to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I shall give. Gibeon and Mount Zion were then the two great centres of the national wor: "quently revealed his through 'dreams. az 6, And Solomon said, Thou hast showed unto thy servant David my father great loving-kindness, ac- cording as he walked before thee in truth, and -in right ge {of 'unpaid men." 18, And T have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee, all thy days. 14. And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father Da- vid did walk, then [ will lengthen thy days. Some things God gives unconditionally; others are be- tached to them. ~.156. And:-Solomon awoke; aril, came" to Jerusalem, and stood be- fore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt-of- ferings, and offered' peace-offer- ings, and made a feast to all his servants, i BH: .. His Later Years While the future career of So- lomon is not assigned to us in this lesson, we ought not to close this study of his life without a brief reference to the sad history which followed this remarkable experi- ence. It was doubtless not one cause, buf many. He was too prosperous. He had no wars .to trouble him. His course was un- usually smooth. - He had innymer- able flatterers; and men ready to wotship him; and few men caw en- dure all this without losing their best and most gracious, qualities. We find that he follows 'the in- iquitous Egyptian system of em- ploying forced: labor for all his great works, and that he beautifies - doings of a wise and considerate king.* They are.the works of a man who forgets KB responsibili- ties in the enjoyment of his pleas- ures. The glory of "Solomon brought and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him - this great loving-kindness, that .thou_hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 7. And now, O Jehovah my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child; I know not how to go out or -come in. , 8. And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that, cannot be numbered not counted for muititude. 9. Give thy servant therefore an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to-- Judge this thy great pgople? The "understanding heart," can be literally translated, "a hearing heart." How many, many. things Solomon could have asked for in this most significant hour-- for riches, for honor, for glory, for victory in war, for pleasure. And yet you can see for yourselves that wisdom is really the best gift. A wise man people want to know for himself; it is the man they care for and not his belongings. So that you see wisdom is really 'the highest and best &ift, after all. 10. And the speech iii the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, --and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemeies,- but hast acked for thyself understanding to discern justice; 12, behold, I have done according to thy word: to, I | have given thee a wise and an uf. | derstanding heart; so-that there hath been none like thee befote thee, neither-after thee shall any arise like unto thee. The extrk- "ordinary wisdom, which the Lotd bestowed on Solomon in answéf to the prayer of his dream at Gib= ~_eon, manifested itself in any 'ways. His masterful wisdord whs geen in bvery department of His life as a man of thought and ne- |: tion, As a man of thought his prée- eminent wisdom appeared in Hit speech and writings, and as a man "of action in the peace and prds- perity- and splendor which. hé brought to hix little kinedom. the comr people tears and groans. We see Solomon in his later years with his 'popularity gone, and alas! his morals and re- ligion. And so it came to pass that the man who had commenced 'with such noble resolves, shaping his - future with the religious colors of an almost inspired dream, finished -in the misery of a foolish dream. finished in the misery of a foolish Jn $l evening tinie, 1944 Olymples May stowed with definite conditions at- behold, it was a dream: And .he _ his capital by the sweat and toil "These aré not the | -Come To Dominion 'Eider Down Used In New Industry Conservation .of the supply of , elder ducks along the north shore of the Gulf of St, Lawrence Is belog accomplished not only by law-en- forcement measures and bird sanc- tuarles, but also through the estab- lisliments of a new imdustry--the sible by the co-operation of the _ Federal Department of Mines and Resources, the Provincial Govern- ment of Quebec, and a number of "private" agencies and individuals, the production of eiderdown on a commercial basis now adds to the income of a people whose sources of revenue are somewhat limited, and also gives local residents a strong, practical reason 'for desir- ing as large a population of nest- ing elder ducks as possible. vised industry in 1933 the. quan- tity of cleaned olderdown marketed annually has increased * by more than five-fold. . production of eiderdown, Made pos-" Sinco the fuception of the super: GARDENING WALKS ~ In the smaller garden where visitors and children soon wear grass thin along the edges of flow- er beds or between the house and the swing or arbor, regular paths: are needed. With 'alittle care they will add beauty to the yest of the garden, too." Most pleas.' ing materials of all for this pur- pose are flagstones, These are broad, flat, thin slabs of any soft . stone, usually found in abundance around certain river beds. The stones are sunk flush] «vith the ground and at least an inch-- and a half of grass is left bgtween edges, - Sometimes after the sod is cut out the exact shape and depth of each stone, a little sand is added to the bottom of the hole, for drainage and to' make walk . firmer. Built in this way the lawn mower will run right over the pathway. Other permanent walk materials are sand, cinder or brick. TRANSPLANTING Secres of successful transplant- ing is plenty of water.

With shrubbery and trees often main roots are cut and the shock is severe. of water after setting out is not too much for such big things, and the watering should be repeated two or.three times a week, if a quick start is wanted.
