rock cliff near here this season

remarkable
fruit.
While the apples are large and
well formed, they were colored
only on one side because the sun
and light could not paint the
one next to the cliff. The trees
were planted by John Ishmer
and the branches pruned mid

rock*. Ishmer say* the root*

RINGED WITH FIRE
ONE NIGHT A YEAR
Capital of Tyrol Has Pe
culiar Celebration.
One Occasion When His Earliest Accounts of
Mind Worked Quickly
Trade Among Nations
Smith w as a freshman, older than
moat of his class. He wa» tall,
lanky and slow. His mind, like his
body, worked slowly, and the
nervous professor in mathematics,
after a careful explanation, was
wont to say:
“Well, Smith, If you will go over
that explanation carefully and med
itate on It, I think you will under
stand. Meditate, Smith, meditate.”
So Smith became ‘‘Meditate’’
Smith to his fellow students,
One evening a party of students
gathered in the room of one of
their number, and Smith was one
of them.
The meeting was for
fun and perhapH mischief, and Buch
a meeting wus an Infringement of
rules.
When the Jollity was at its height
a warning came that the professor
was coming to Investigate. The room

was cleared at once.
usual, was the last and, hearing
steps approaching, he crawled un
der the bed, stjeing no other way
of escape. Here he sat doubled
up like a Jackknife awaiting the
event with no little apprehension.
The professor entered, looked
about him, saw that the room was
empty, then turned to depart. As
he closed the door, a thought seemed
to strike him; he re-entered the
room and looked under the bed.
"Hey, Smith, what are you doing
there?" he cried.
Smith turned his head with diffi
culty.
“Meditating, professor.”
The professor withdrew.—Youth’s
Companion.

years ago it was Austrian, known aa

the years to come it may, perhaps,
salute another flag.

From the time that men began
to live in cities, trade, in some
shape must have been carried ou
to supply the town-dwellers wltii
necessaries; but it is also clear
that international trade must have
existed, and affected to some ex
tent even the pastoral nomadic
races, for we find that Abraham
was rich, not only in cattle, but in
silver, gold, and gold and silver
plate and ornaments (Gen. 13:2;
24:22, 53). Among trading nations
mentioned in Scripture, Egypt
holds in very early times a promi
nent position, though her external
trade was carried on, not by her
own citizens, but by foreigners—
chiefly of the nomadic races, The
internal trade of the Jews, as well
as the external, was much pro

places of public market were, then,
as now, chiefly the open spaces
near the gates, to which goods
were brought for sale by those who

16; Zech. 1:10). The traders in
