Extracts from the first city direc­ tory of •how, for the most part, a feeling of satisfaction in. the compiler. The directory appeared ill }844. “Our common schools/, he writes, “are worthy of special no­ tice.” Regarding entertainment for the stranger within the gates, he is able to note definite improvement. Whereas, “In early times our inns were .miserable in the extreme,” now “are have eighteen hotels and , houses of public entertainment, many of them large and splendid establishments, not inferior to any in the west.” * He hazards a prophecy which has been more than fulfilled when he ___ says: “We have four large packing houses, and all- of--them have done a heavy business thus far. The pork packing is only just commencing, but will, it is thought, be extensive.” The progress that had.bcen made in postal facilities is shown by this record: “A weekly mail from the- east was received here on horseback in 1832. The next year, it was re­ ceived in a one horse wagon week­ ly. In 1833 a two horse wagon was substituted. In 1834 a four hoTse stage line was established semi- , weekly; triweekly in 1835. Inl837 * there was a daily eastern mail. There are now received and made up at this office forty-eight mails weekly, and the receipts of the office amount to about $10,000.” In one or two respects the narra­ tor cannot speak so cheerfully. He is compelled to acknowledge a debt of $8,977.25.- He adds, however, that “the credit of the city is nqW established upon a permanent foun­ dation and cannot easily be shaken.” But for the stage lie sees no imme­ diate hope. This is his plaint: “Our. theater—a very pretty one— has been in operation the past sea­ son and met with some encourage- '1ment, but it must be confessed that at present the prospects -of the drama aro not flattering.” Th* Argan Tree. • Among the most remarkable,treea ' f f the world, is the argon, which abounds in southern Morocco, but is seldom seen elsewhere, A “forest” of argons has a curious scattered ap- :pearance because the trees grow sin- ' ' gly .and far apart. They are very « leafy, but seldom exceed twenty feet in height. The branches put out horizontally and begin a yard above the ground. Sheep, cattle and cam* els feed on the leaves, and goats will stand on their hind legs .-to reach them, but horses and mules refuse to touch them. Tlie wood is very hard, and extremely useful to na­ tives, who make charcoal from it. The fruit, resembling a large olive, is used to feed cattle and to manu­ facture a valuable oil. Badfam. How many people use the expres- I sion “a regular bedlam” . without 1 knowing bedlam's “where or what.” Bedlam Was the popular corruption of Bethlehem, the name of an in­ sane asylum in London, first estab­ lished in 1523. "Owing to the preva- alent ignorance of that age, it was a place of chains and mabacles and - stocks and finally became ,so filthy and loathsome that no man could • enter it. It was rebuilt several times, but even as late as 1812 the institution was marked by its cruel­ ty to inmates. The poor lunatic* were chained syjjd flogged at certain stages of the moon'sgage. ... ^ . . J«ru»a!«rh Artichoke The Jerusalem artichoke, which was known in English gardens be­ fore the potato,, whs imported to Europe 300 years ago. The plant is not an irtichohH at all. It .was merely so dubbed because its flavor was thought to be likfc that of the .globe'artichoke. It is a native of tropical America, not of Palestine, *• although by a culinary joke “Pales­ tine soup” is made from Jerusalem artichokes. “Jerusalem” is merely * a corruption of the Italian “gira- sole,” or sunflower, When fh» R*v*n Was Milk Whit*. According to Mohammedan be- . lief, the ravens which Noah took with him on the ark were both pure white. When the ark had been rid­ ing the billows of the flood for thir­ ty-three days one of the giraffes died, and the carcass was thrown overboard. No sooner had it struck the water than the ravens pounced upon it. For this Noah cursed them, and since that day^they have been eqal black. Life'* Betti*.

GOLDEN TEXT-Enter Intd hla gate* with thanksgiving, and Into M b court* with praise.—Psalms 100:4. The remnant which returned had now become settled In their new homes As It would be a considerable time be­ fore the temple could be rebuilt, ar­ rangement was made for the religious life ns early as possible, as religion was the very heart of the nation's life. They first set up the altar of the God of Israel (3:1-3) and offered burnt of­ ferings thereon. They next revived the annual festivals (8:4-7) which had a powerful, unifying Influence upon them, ■ . I. The Appointment of Officer* to Set Forward the Work of the’ Lord's House (v. 8, 9). Overseers were need­ ed to direct this great work: Rubbish needed to be cleared away so the build­ ing operations could .begin; timber needed to be cut in the Lebanon forests and floated down to Joppa; stones needed to be cut from the quarries ; in­ telligent and consecrated .men were needed to direct this work, as It was needful that It be done with the utmost expedition. The Lord’s house demands, the most systematic adjustment of Its labors. Mere zeal will not make up for lack of Intelligence. ' II. The Foundation of the temple Laid '(3:10-13). <This was done amid great rejoicing. The consciousness that the Lord’s, house was taking shape, even thpugfi the' mere foundations could be seen, provoked great entlr slasm on the part of the people. Mu­ sicians were appointed to furnish mu­ sic while the work was heing done. Un­ der the Influence of music men will do better work, armies will march and fight better when bands are playing. While there was great joy, there was also, mingled sorrow.' This was on the part of the elders who had seen the. former temple. The meanness of the present temple In comparlsdn with Solomon’s temple caused their prnise to be drowned with their sorrow. These people belonged to that class who think that nothing now IS so good as In the former days. So completely were these voices commingled that the people could not discern the one from the other. : . III. The Building of the Temple De­ layed by Opposition. • (Chapters 4 and 5), For a time matters went smoothly with them, but as soon as the work had taken such shape as to show that there was. Borne prospect of . success, the half-heathen Samaritans began to oppose them. No vital work of God will he allowed to go on without oppo­ sition. Satan resents and bitterly 'op­ poses all Inroads upon his kingdom.' These Samaritans sought to frustrate this work of God by: (1) An Alliance With the Jews (4:2,3) . They wanted to bring the work in harmony with their own religious practices, as God’s,pure worship would be a constant rebuke to them. This Is ever the way of the world, to seek to .effect a compromise with God’s chil­ dren; but God’s call is separation. “Come out from among them” (2 Cor. 6:14-18). Nothing so weakens God's cause as worldly nlltance and compro­ mise. There Is but one answer to bo given to such an offer of compromise, “Ye have nothing to do with us In building a house unto our God.” We are In the world, but not of the world. (2) Weakening the Hands of the People (4:4). Doubtless this Included the withdrawal of supplies, the spread-" lug of dlBsenslon^among the workmen, and the employment of counselors against them. _ * (8) Letters of Accusation to the Per­ sian King (4:8/ 7). So severe was this opposition that the building was de­ layed for a term of years. These coun­ selors succeeded In creating doubt as to whether Cyrus hm ever issued a de­ cree for their return. This wicked op­ position resulted in the undoing of the opposers, for search was made and a copy was found. Darius confirmed this by his own decree, and directed that aid be given from .the royal taxes so that the house of God might be built. IV, Th* Temple Completed and Dedi­ cated (6:14-18). The Prophets Hftggal and Zaeharlah now appear, and by warnings, exortatlons and entreaties Stir p p th e people so that the work goes forward to a successful comple­ tion. Without their aid probably tlie work would riever have been completed. Human nature at times needs' to be cheered and urged forward. These prophets did not themselves work In the building of the walls, yet their ,work was of even greater importance, I t is generally found that this Is so with the religious leaders today. The words of cheer and encouragement of the Christian minister are needed dally for those who labor in the build­ ing of the Lord's house. Were H not for them many would give up the strug­ gle. When the building was finished' it was dedicated to God with great joy. This wna possible because they lift * budded and finished their task accord­ ing to the commandment of the God of Israel. The service of dedication Was much after the order of that of Solo­ mon's temple, only on a less magnifi­ cent scale, QUICKRELIEFBALM Robert M, veil know* attor- fitly, died a t hi* home In IJpp*r San­ dusky, Mr. Oju'ev had served Upper Sandusky as superintendent of puln c crhpol* and as mayor.

Dr. Francis WllBon and his wife, arrested at Vermillion, were taken to Sandusky to answer a charge of arson They are accused of having fired their home to get the insurance. Harry WoloazankI, Lorain, was on j of the National Tube company work­ ers exempted on the. plea of the com­ pany, He didn’t like that, so quit his job and took his turn with the con­ scripts.
