Alsoâ€"Here follows a list of six practices expressly prohibited by the Deuteronomic code: (1) Made his children pass through the fireâ€"â€" 'A'haz was the first Judaean king to perform this rite, which con- sisted in actually sacrificing and burning the victims. In later years of the kingdom, this mode of worâ€" ship was not infrequent. The valley of the son of Hinnom (so called perhaps from some hero who encamped there), was situated south and southwest of Jerusalem, and was the seat of human sacrifi- cial worship. Later it came to be termed “Valley of Slaughter." (2) He practiced auguryâ€"This was done by observing the motions of the clouds (compare Lev. 19. 26; Judig. 9. 37, etc). (3) Used enchantments â€"-â€"Compare the story of Joseph (Gen. 44. 5). The play of light up- on the liquid in a cup was regardâ€" ed as an omen. Other omens are included. (4) Practiced sorcery â€" See articles, Sorcery and Magic, in Hasting’s Dictionary of the Bible. This was an extensive field, and in general signified some mode of ob- taining help from the deity by reâ€" course to magical arts. (5) and (6) Manasseh also fostered people pos- sessed of su posed nowens of di- vination, undawho professed to have intercourse with the spirits of the dead (compare 1 Sam. 28. 7, and ’Acts 16. 16). Ventriloquism was one of the devices resorted to by these wizards (Isa. 8. 19). '7.

From the frequent mention of this form of worship in the preâ€"exilic literature (Jer. 8. 2; 19. 13; Zeph. 1. 5), it is evident that it became immediate- ly prevalent. The flat roofs of the houses afforded ample opportuni- ties. 3. Built again the high placesâ€" Hezekiah had destroyed the coun- try sanctuaries as seats of corrupâ€" tion (2 Kings 18. 4, 22). The ac- count in Kings mentions altars to a single Baal, and “an Asherah" (evidently referring to some one Baal, like the Tyrian Baal of Ahab, and the erection‘ of some single symbolic past representing the god- dess Astarte. The Chronicler, on the other hand, has in mind dis- tinct Canaanitish Baals at each place, with corresponding poles. iAll this was a. restoration of the practices of the house of Ahan (2 Kings 1_0_. 18, and 1 Kings 16. 31). 2. Did that; which was evil â€" A common formula for sins connect- ed with worship. In the verses .which follow a catalogue of these aims is given, their chief condem- nation being that they were a. re- petition of the abominations of the Canaanites. This was especially true of the Baal and Ashemh cults. Lesson III.â€"~Ma.nasseh's wickedness ‘ and penitence, 2 (nu-on. 33. 1-20 Golden Text, Isa. 1. 16, 17.

The first gold coins minted from Porcupine golcd have been turned out at Ottawa. The gold was sent to the mint some time ago by the Hollinger mine. In all, approxi- mately $60,000 was sent down to be minted. This has all been made into $5 gold pieces. and the money sent back to the treasury of the company. It will go into the tree.â€" sury. although there will undoubt- edly be quite a demand for the coins as souvenirs of the first ooins mini;â€" ed from Porcupine gold.

The rest of the acts of Man- assehâ€"For such a. long reign, cer- tainly few deeds are recorded, and most of them reflect little credit upon this king. His prayer, or what purports to be, is found in the Apocrypha, just before 1 Mac- caabees.

Costs 11 Shadow Over the Lives-of Thousands of Women and Growing Girls. “Not enough blood” is the sim- ple meaning of the term anaemia, though ‘it should scarcely need ex- plaining, for, unfortunately,, an- aemia, is one of the greatest evils in this country, afflicting women of all ages including young girls. The signs 0 bloodlessness are plain enoughâ€"pallid lips and cheeks, and aching back, frequent headaches, with breathlessness heart alpita- tion and great weakness. lfhe only effective treatment is to strengthen and build up the blood, and it is just by this power of making new, rich blood that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have cured anaemia in more cases than it is possible to place on record. Among the host cured of this trouble by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills is Miss C. N. Roberge, of Sorel, Que., who had been in poor health for several years. Miss Ro- berge says: “I believe that if I had not taken Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills my illness would have proved fatal. The trouble came on so gradually that I can scarcely tell the point at which it did begin. The first'noticeablc symptom was loss of color and a: feeling of lassitude. Then I began to lose my appetite, had frequent headaches, and spells ‘of dizziness, and became unable to ‘do any housework without being completely exhausted. Finally my trouble became aggravated by a persistent cough. I took several kinds of medicine, but did not get any relief. At last I gas advised to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and decided to do so. After I had tak- en several boxes there was a no- ticeable improvement in my con- dition and I continued using the Pills until I had taken nine boxes. The result in my opinion was mar- vellous. My appetite returned, my nerves were strengthened, my weight increased, headaches disapâ€" peared, and I am enjoying the best health of in life. In gratitude fir what Dr. “illiams’ Pink Pills have done for me I give this statement in the hope that 't may brnng new health to some other sufferer.” .

The announcement of the engage- ment of Miss Dorothy Drew to Lieutenant Parish, one of Lord Gladstone’s A.D.C.’s, recalls the fact that Miss Drew was the favor- ite grandchild and companion of :the late Mr. W. E. Gladstone. She has been the subject of many pretty stories, one being to the effect that she once nonplussed the G. O.M. on a, Biblical subject. The famous statesman was trying to induce her to get up earlier. “Why don’t you get up, my child 2” he asked. “Why, grandpapa,” rejoined Miss Doro- thy, “didn’t you tell me to do what the Bible says “I” “Yes. certainly,” said Mr. Gladstone. The little girl then proudly opened her Bible at Psalm cxxvii. and read the second verse: “It is vain for you to rise up early.” New Type of Turbine May Displace 01d Locomotives. A new steam turbine electric enâ€" gine is undergoing trials in Scotâ€" land. The engine, which is seven- ty feet in length, has been built by the North British Locomotive Com- pany, and is a, remarkable depart- ure from the standard design. The funnel and small boiler are at the rear end, where steam is generated to drive a. steam turbine, which is coupled to a dynamo in the centre of the engine. The current supâ€" plies the electric motors attached to the eight driving wheels and propels the machine at express speed. The waste steam goes to a condenser and there, converted to water, is returned to the boiler and used over and over again, A heavy load of ordinary passenger coaches has been pulled ,with ease upon the Caledonian Railway, and it is ex- pected in many quarters that the saving in fuel and other advantages of the electric locomotive will com- mend itself to the great railway companies, and the electro-turbo locomotive, as it is called, will soon be seen upon the British lines. GLADSTONE’ S FAVORITE GRAND CHILD . ELECTRIC L0 COMOTIVE. BEABLY ANAEMIA Cromwell, the uncrowned King of England, certainly wore no wig like the long line of his successors; but, though he wore his own hair, he wore it pretty long. Charles II. wore a tremendous wig, curled in 'a hundred ringlets, but the only hair on his face Was a. slight mousjé‘ tache. None of his successors unâ€" til Edward VII. boasted even that. Both beards and moustaches went clean out of fashion and James II., William 111., all the Georges, and William IV. were just as clean All the Georges Barefaeed Except the Present King. It was often remarked at the accession of Edward VII. that he was the first bearded King for nearly three hundred years. The ill-fated King Charles I. was his immediate predecessor in thi reâ€" spect, and he came to the t rone in 1625, whereas the late King succeeded his mother in .1901. Charles was the last of the Kings for a very long time to represent the Elizabethan or Shakes earean fashion of the pointed bear and to wear his own hair on his head. The Provincial Department of Agriculture maintains a. staff of thirtyâ€"five dairy instructors, whose duty -. is to instruct the individual producer in the handling of milk and cream and its delivery in good condition, and to teach the cheese makers'the securing and maintain- ing a. uniform quality of high class material. ROYAL FASHIONS IN BEARDS. lada, is produced in Ontario. Cream worth $1,250,000 was shipped to the United States in 1910. The Province has 1,173 cheese factories and 115 creameries. The milk de- livered at factories in 1909 was '1,- 361,046,459 pounds; the cheese pro- duced was 125,611,359 pounds; and the value was $14,193,918. The milk made into butter at cheese factor- ies and creameries was 198,334,532 pounds, the butter produced was 9,015,206 pounds, and the value $2,- 175,955. The estimated value of butter made in farm dairies, con- sumed on the farm, and supplied to towns and cities was $15,000,000. The total value of dairy products was at least $31,000,000, while inl two or three banner years the av- erage value was $35,000,000. In all this there is probably a total which surpasses any other One line of industry, and when it is coupled with pork production, which should always be a complement, dairying is one of the most extensive and profitable industries in' the Proâ€"1 Vince of Ontario. i Enormous Extent of Dairying In- dustry in This Province. ' The dairy industry is the largest in the Province. The Province has found that dairying is more profitâ€" able than grain-growing. “Our revenue from dairy products,” says a, Saskatchewan authority, “is nothing like what it is in Ontarioâ€" we are in the state Ontario was in thirty years ago.” Dairying is followed with much success by the 3 man that farms upon a large scale, as well as the man that has 50 to 100 acres: It can be made profitâ€" able by a, careful industrious farm- er at a comparatively small outlay. A few good cows can be maintain- ed and improved at a minimum, cost. The sale of milk in the towns‘ and cities is one of the most re- munerative lines, and a ready home market is always found for good dairy butter. The export trade in butter and cheese is es- tablished upon a solid basis. But by far the largest proportion of creamery butter finds a rapid sale in the markets of the Province. When it is understood that Canada is much the largest exporter of cheese in the world, and that On- tario is the greatest cheese-making section of the Dominion, the im- portance of the Province in this relationship is clear.

' ’ . _ _.1 Thus out of the thirty-three Kings who have ruled in England, the beard wearers and the clean. shaven almost provide a tie, for there are thirteen of the former and fourteen of the latter. Six Kings wore moustaches. Perhaps Plain 01d Meat, Peta.th and Bread may Bo Against You for a Time. Thus, though George V. is the first of his name to wear a beard, Edward VII. was only following the example of most of his prede~ censors. Prior to Henry V.’s time, how- ever, beards might be said to be almost the rule; and, indeed, from William I., in 1066, to the death of Henry IV., in 1413, no King sat on the English throne who was clean- shaven. The Conqueror and his two sons and successors were con. tent with a, moustache only, as were Henry II. and Richard II.; but Richard the Lionâ€"Hearted would seem to have made the beard‘, fashionable, for his brother John, Henry III., and the first three Ed- wards entirely gave the razor the gofby. In wearing a beard Charles I.’ followed the example of his father James, and, as he was a Scottish before he was an English King, he probably followed the fashion of his predecessors in the northern kingdom, for he was preceded by two Queens and a. boy King, and had no precedent in this respect to follow, even if he had desired one. Henry VIII., nearly a hundred years before James L’s time, had been as much an innovator in re- spect to whiskers as Edward VII. was; for, like our late King, this muchâ€"married monarch could look back upon several bare-faced preâ€" decessors without a break, for none of the Kings from Henry V. to Henry VII. wore the least hair upon their faces. shaven as all the rest of their mas- culine subjects. There was a time when a beard had not been seen in England within living memory! WRONG SORT.
