INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR   DECEMBER   IS.
SulOect: The Pa«*oT*r, Ez. ill., I-IT- nolflen Teat, I Cor, r., 7 — Metnorj Veraea, 13.14 — Commentary on tit. Uay'a Lraaon.
1. "Thfi Lord aiwke." The work of re fJi'niption. the Rppointnient of the feast the ('h.inf^e in the r.-ilcnflnr. tvere all (liv.:;c Th*' source of .ill was florl, not MoFeii.
2. "Tlii,! iiionlii." Abib. or Nip.-in; cnr ie.'*t>f,nlling as ne.irly as nosHible to thp U-x half of M.irrh and the first half ..( .Vj.ril. The .Icivish months begnn wh'i ti'.e new moon. "Ileginninff of mo'i*lis.'' The first not only in order, but in estiin; tion. It had formerlv been the se.ovi'i aroording to the rcrkoiiing of the eiv-l year which began in September and whi'-'i continued unchangerl. but from th's time .\bili was to stand firM in the national re Iigio;is venr.
.3. ".X)*nk." etc. Thro'a;jh the e'dp--. A . 21. "A lamb for .'<n home." .\ kid might be tnken. V. 5. The service was to be a domestic one. for the delivcrjincc waa to be from an evil tlireatened to every bouv in Eg^-nt.
4. "If the hoii^elioM be too little." That is. if there be not enough persons in one family to eat a who'e lamb, then two families rnust join tojt'ther. The .-.ihkins fell ua Ihat there sh.iiiM be at Ir.ist tc l persona to one paschal Ijimb, and not mor'' than twenty. "Accord:ng to the numb-r.' | There may be a want of per>on- to feci upon the Iamb, thoujli there cin b- :m lack of food for them to feed U'.on. Kvorv mnn "according to his eating" may fc.ist to the full upon Christ.
5. "Without blemish." That i". entire, whole, sound, having neitlier defect nor def.'rmitv. This was a tvpc of Christ. Kee Heb.'7: 28; 1 Pet. 1: 19. The iSavionr -tl^e r,.'imh of riod was (I) perfect. 12) in¬ nocent and (3) s'.nin as a sacrifice for oth' ers. (1) He was offered nt the season and nt the verv hour ot lh» pascal sacrifice. (H) Xot a bone wan broken, ffi I Ife is ablo to take awav our sins.   .Tohn I: 2P.
6. "Keep it up." The Hebrew imp'iei that it wa» lo be keot with (.Teat c.'.rc. "l-'ntil the fourteenth." It was to be pc,** ar.-iled from the re»t. of the llock four davi before the time of sacrifice. "In the even- ing." Literally, "lietween the evenings;' that is, from the time the sun begiiiii to decline to'thai of its full setting, sav. be¬ tween 3 and 6 o'clock. The r.ibbiiis mar;; four things that were reouired in llie first pas.sovcr that were neve" reouived after¬ ward: I. The eating of Uu !«mb in tocir houses dispersed through O.ishen. 2. 'I'lio taking the Ic.mb on the tenth dav.   3.  Th"
triking of its bl.iod nn tbe door posts an

lione as a mark of s:\fcly, n token of deliv crance. thr'.t the dcsiroving angel, when passing ihr.'iigh tbe land to siay the first born of tho Kpyplians. might see and p.Tss over Ihe houses of tl-.e I.-raelitea nnd spare their families.
8. ".Kit the flesh." rndimbtdiv thi, feast hnd a phy.i'. al purpose. The Israel¬ ites wero to Stan in the middle of the liiK'ht oa a long and wearisome joiirnev. antl it wa.s important thut they should not start fasting. Kaling together is a symbol of fcl'ow-hii. and a covenant of unitv. 'Hon 1 with lire." Por the aake of r!ipe.liti..n; and this itifFcrence wan always oliserve,! between the cooking of the pns- ral lamb and the other offerings. 2 Chron. 11: 13. "I'nleavcnel bread." Thia was i''ci r.ir Ihu ».ikc of disi.'.il.b. Deut. IC: 3. There was also a Ivpieal meaning attached to Ihe unleavened bread; leaven was em¬ blematical of evil, l.tike 12: 1; 1 Cor. .5: S. "With bitter herbs." This was to remind the Hebrew* of their great afflictions in Egypt, and also of the trials to which they were subject on account of nin. Our bit¬ ter herbs are the remembrance of sins com¬ mitted am, the confeasion of our wrong* i!oiugN.   The eup of repentance is bitter.
0. "Unw. " That is, unfit for use. and fhrrefore unfit for representing spiritual enjovment. ".'<odi!cn.'' Boiled. It must not lie deprived of anv portion of its sn- lor. "Head wilh his legs." ett'.-«ee R. V. .Vot a bone was lo be broken. Tbis point¬ ed to Christ.   See ,lohn 19: 36.
10. "U'l nothing of it remain." The lamb was lo be eaten, all eaten, eaten by nil. and e.'iten a. once. The Tjord ,lesus is to Iw received into the soul as its food, and this is to be done with a whole Christ, bv eacli one of His people, and done iiist nitw. The Israelites must not onlv s.av, Ihev must eat. It is not enough thnt C..ri«t hns liicd for us, "fl-cTTiust receive Him int.i j»fr beart.-; and liven, "fntil Ibe im,rning.'' 'i''i prevent putrefaction, wlilcli would soon like plnce in a hot iMuinirv. That whi.h is olTered to Cod mnat not bcc.iioi' i.irrup,.
U. "Cirded." etc. I'lerry piepni-alom must lie made for an immediate denartiire. The long, flowing robes were gir.b'd around (lie loi:is; shoes, or sandals, not worn in Ihc bouse or at meals, were fastened to Ihe feet, and the traveler's staff wa< tal.cn in hand. These mslructi'ins are under¬ stood bv the .lews to apply only to tlie first pHs.nv.r. "The Lord's pas»ov,-r." Called bv this name because the destroy- in;; angel pa-scd over the dwellings of the Isr.ielitfs. while destroving the Kgyptians.
I'J. "(fods of Kgypl." 1. *'Oil finofe objects of Kgypl ian woi-ship. in destroying th? first born of the king and the animals which were worshiped. 2. This showed the worthlessnesa of these gods, for they were powtrlcss to save the people.
10. "The blood a token." Or sign. Tbo blood was a sicn of (iod'a mercy, love, protection and deliverance; it wa. alfc sign of the obc
ee .-.nd faith of the Is

I hear folk* keep *-wi*hia' from tha «arlx
mom till late, A-widhin' they was wealthy an' a-wiaUin'
they was areat; If «tout,  they'll be more slender;
an'  if
slim, they'd be more fat A   discontented   army,   wishin*   this   au*
wishin' that. An' I've doue & heap o' thinkin' on the
Rubjeet, first an   last. Why i>eople squirm an' tidget in the place*
where they're cast; Yes, an' wiah for fields t* conquer when
they simple duties shirk, Ai\' the time that's lost in wishin' might
be better spent in work.
There's wishin' in the country for poeition
an' renown. For wealth ap' plnce an' power there ia
w-ishin_* in the tow-n; While the city folks, inclinin' more t' lau¬ rel wreaths o' fame Than more prosaic objects, keep on wishin'
just tne same The   maladv's  infectious   sn'   it   deals  as
hard ii blow T' women gowned in satin as t' those in
calico; It steal* aa many hours from the banker
OS the clerk. An' the time that's lost in w-ishin' might
be better spent in work.
Folks   may   spend  an   hour   thinkin'   an' some good from it may come.
An' hour's nan at noontime mny improve your feelin'a some:
An hour spent in singin  may see sorrow's banner furled,
But an hour spent in wishin' is a dead- loss t' the world!
An' so  I'd   have the  wishiu'-hours gath¬ ered up an' spent
For chunks o' perseverance, or, in other words, content:
Since behind theae idle hours Iota o' lit¬ tle trouble, lurk.
An' the time that's lost in wishin' might be better spent in work.

TT UNT CKLESTE Is n qtinlut- /\ looking, pretly Uttlo old ^^^i^ woman, with white linlr li"^ smoothed dowu over her oars, nod stinuRoly fnsbluuod uld Kuwus of antique' puttoru. A hUui. hlueeyod, low-voUed, loving little spinster with th<> queer innunors ol' au elder day and the nppearanco of one of those old-fashioned bisque court ladles that our inothers stood on the what-not till the rlsluK gonern- tlon mnde dolls of theiu and pnt theui out of fashion by the stroUK band. Even so Is poor Auut Celeste, with her nutlque courtliness, her nently raillnut soul, and her relics of laoe and flow¬ ered silk, passing gracefully nnd swift¬ ly nud perhnps sadly Into the dim cor¬ ners of tho old home, where ahe.mly her grand-nieces and gntud-uephews are sitting lu the light.
When Uttle Mnrle and her brother Tom came up from Boston lnst week Aunt Celeste made n great ado about them. She was always foud of chll¬ dron, never admitting that she hml a favorite, but winning them uU with the pretty old stories of her girlhood and fairy tales so unbelievable fliat the Uttle oues laughed until theiu cried over her preposterous giants and ogres. Perhaps It was because she fancied In Uttle Marie Ibe relucariiatiou of her owu childhood, perhaps liei'iiuse cf tbo girl's singular gentleness uud grave deportment; perhaps It was be¬ cause the poor old soul yearned at Inst to tell something of her own heart¬ aches, but for some reason that doesn't malter Aunt Celeste gave Uttle Marie the ouly glimpse tbnt over found lb" gray, old. simple secret of her story.
They were searching her faded trcns. nroB for scraps of rlbbou and lace to
TBB OLD WOMAN PICEED IT TP TENDIRLY
^iloru n doll wheu the child cauie acioss an old dHgucrrotyiie of a curly halted soldier.
"Who is the handsome soldier, •untie?"
The old woman picked It np tender¬ ly, wiping Its surface with her little lace haudkerchelf, and BiuiUug wan¬ ly.
"And If I tellyou. Marie, you luuslut laugh."
"1 promise, cross my heart, auntie." ¦ "It was ever so long ago, Mario, llmt i saw him flrst. We were at school theu. your grandma and I, dowu at the old I'ouvent In Egieuiont. Our best friend among the pupils wus Miss Ilui'Unghain. I'uor Edith, she iiiarrle<l n soldier and died ouly a few years ngo ot Calcuflu or somewhere ber busbund was stationed.

"This Is his hair, honey." she said, holding out a yellow curl tied with a rlblKin of faded blue, "and Ibis Is his writing on this cnrd."
In the nervous, thin hnnd was a bit of paper Inscribed. ".\ heart token for my Celeste from Cecil." It was iu boyish scrawl, and little Mario re-ad it over and over hefore sho asked;
"Is this tho token, this card'/"
"No. no. dearie. The token wns n ring, a gorgeous ring with a diamond and some rare penrls In the setting."
"May I see the ring, auntie?"
"Bless you, little sweetheart." smiled tho old lady, putting away hor treas¬ ures wllh reverent, trembling hands. "I wish you might see It. but I seut It back fo him. You know I was only a schoolgirl, a child then, nnd the good nuns mnde me send It back. Aud so I sent It back; I sent It back. Marie, but I kept the Uttle cnrd. He was u good nnd gracious soldier."

JAPANESE   ARCHITECTURE.
Ths  Style Vleldlnic lo   That Common In European Countries.
A .Tapanese architect who makes a specialty of European styles and de¬ signs Is n person not frequently met In this counfiy, yet such Is tho profes slim of Mr. ». Yoshll, of Toklo, Japan, who arrived In Washington Tuesday. Mr. YoshU's card tells that he Is the "chief architect to tho ministry of communicaliou, architect to the home department," etc., and Mr. Yoshll him¬ self tells some very Infcrestlng thlugs nbrut the archltecturnl phase ot Jap¬ anese Ufe.   Speaking of this he said;
"European architecture Is gradually gaining a foothold In Japan, and must sooner or later dominate, just ns Eu¬ ropean styles of dress aro eoon to dominate lu the big cities. In Toklo aud lu other large centres of popula¬ tion all the uew business houses ar-) built ou European plaus. They are found to be more prnclicablo. The residences are still of tho Japanese style, nnd I supiiose they will boud to the chauge last of nil. Some of tho larger and finer residences In the cities are built like yours, but most stick to the old customs.

Wbatever dlfle'ieuces Panie Nature tuny have Inti^nded iKtwcen the spheres of Influence of meu nud wom¬ eu. she evidently intended tbat numer Icnlly at leatt the fwo sexes should stand ou nearly the same footing. The world over, except where recognizable, nnd whut might be called nrtifidal causes interfere, fhe male and feuinle elements of the populallou aro about equal.
At first sight, perhaps, fills mny not seem at all remarkable. But it Is to be rcmonibi'ied that lu many fanillles —Inrge oues, too—the great majority of the ehlldreu nre of oue sex or the uther. Aud oue should not be sur¬ prised If the aggregate effect of this lupsldeduoss were to produi-e a con-- slderable excess of meu or womeu In u nation. Tho fact thnt such is not the case, then shows that there Is some potent and mysterious law of coni- ponsatlon at work upon the rnce as a whole. And this law operates upon many of Ihe animals ns well ns nnu. On the farm It is found convenient to preserve a great predominance of one sex over the other iu cattle and chlcU- ODB.
Curiosity, not to eny nstoulshmon'. Is excited, therefore, by a re.'enf nu nouncement of the Census Hun au. The onumei'utlou of IIHK) shows Unit there are more men uud boys tiinu women nud girls in this couutry nnd thnt the difference exceeds 1,5*00,111)0 In n poulatlon ot 7r.,30.3,3,S7. The ix- cess appears more distinctly, perhaps, wheu it Is said that there ure t>V2 males nnd ouly 4S,S females in every Ihousnnd people in ihe United Sluies. What is more, this sort of Ihlug has beon going on, wllh some Uttle fluctuu- tloii lu the percentage, for over half n century. As long ago as IKHI there was a distinct numerical superiority of the male over the female element. By 18110 the prepouderauce was even more conspicuous, hut iu 1870 less tlnin for several decades. The returns for 1880 show n slight gnlu ouce more, though tho disparity of 18rs) wns uot quite reached, nnd those for 18iH) a still further increase. The situation has scarcely changed In the last teu years. Indeed, the Census Bureau lig¬ ures oul u microscopic fnlllug off in fhe growth of the male population, us compared with the female. To b<' sure, the excess wns only l,r)H0,0i)7 in ISSKI. aud hns sluce beeu enlarged by 254.727; bul the burenu flnds that the percentages of gain nre not quite alike, uud tliat there are faint iudlcatluus of n future ri'actlou.
The state of things hero vevenled Is the more strlklug wbeu compared with that existing lu Europe. Both In the I'nlted Kingdom and ou the Continent the women nre more nuiuer- OUH than the men. It Is possible to detect forces which disturb the bnl- nnce In sume of these countries. But .Mr. I'orier. supeiinlendeut of the cen¬ sus of ]8iKl. was inclined to think llmt these Influences did uot operafe per- cepfildy In Auslria nnd the Nether¬ lands, and heme that uoriually the female sex out numbers the male lu nearly the proportion of Ufty-oue to forty-nine. t.'ouipnrlsou with the standurd, Ihen, mnke the excess of ninles in America stranger than It nalure exhibited  strict   Impartiality.
The two forces which appi'ar to be chiefly concerned lu upsetting the equilibrium are wnr aud Immlgniflon. .\iid ot the two flic former Is much Ibe less effeclive. Sllll, If was power- lul enough to Influence Ihe lefiirns ill lleriiiiiny aud France after the famous struggle of 1870-71. And In the l'nlted States It pulled down Ihe male piopor- floii of .'ilVJ lu everj- lll.OlKt lu 1800 lo ,10511 In 1870.
.Mlgrnlloii. of course, works lu two ways. Till' majority ot Immigrants nre men. The departures from one coun¬ iry. tlU'iefore, leave the other sex lu excess in oue pnrt of tbe world, while they promote the preponderance of Ihelr owu In nnother. Thus, iu some Knnipeau countries the proportion of males to females is ubout 48.'> to .'il.'''. Now, Inasmuch as three out of every flve Inimlgranfs wbo come to the l'nlt¬ ed Slates are nun aud Ieu out of every sevenly-flve people here ure of foreigu birth. It Is easy to see bow liniKirtant Is this fuclor in establishing tho ratio between the sexes. In 1800. for in slance. the excess of Iiiales here was made up In this proportion: Native boru. I>'J8.71»7; foreign boru, 8H-I.7i;i. Aud yet scarcely a sevenib of the pop-^ Illation came froui oiber lands. It Is to fills fact, no doubt, fliaf Immigraflou has experleuceil a ;.llglit check lu the j last few years ihat the recent slight I falling off iu the masculine ascendency j here is due.

The np penrnnce of a Gormnn squadron lu Venezuelan waters will have consid¬ erable Influence In detcrmlulng the movements of onr own.
The situation in regard to Oermany nnd Veuezuein Is regnrdeil with mnch e-oucern by olUcluls here. There Is ren sou 13 fonr Ihat the expressions usi'd lu the Pn'sldenfs message nbout tho Monroe doctrine mny havo Iod Oer mnuy to enterialu erroneous views about Ihe Americau position tm thnt qnestlon. The Monroe doctrine, ac¬ cording lo Its Intest Intorprotallon. does not prevent a foreign |>ower fror.i coming to American shores to coUe-'t a debt  by  force.
Thoro Is, however, lu tho lulnil of the .\dmiulstratlou, a well doflned dif¬ ference lietween collectlug debts duo from a South American country to a European couutry. and collectlug debts due from a South American country to European Individuals. The debt lu question appears to be owotl by Veuc zuela to certain German flnnnctors. who undertook to construct n railway In Venezuela. Inquiries woiUd undoubt¬ edly be mndo nbout the Intoullon of any serious naval domonstratlou by Oermany or any other country In South .\niorlcnu waters.
Should President Castro's reportotl liellef bo correct thnt Oermany Inteuds to seize the Ln Onnyra Custom House, there Is no doubt that this couniry wonld interrognte Oermnny aboul whether she Intended to mnko any porninueut occupntlon. Eveu In tho case of debt owed by one power to nnother. the T'niled States would bo obliged to luke nn nctlve Interest In nny proimsltlon to seize land, even for temporary  purposes.
Memliers of the Admlnlstrnllon are uot Incllued to talk about what would be done in cnse (rcrmnny should nt tempt to seize a Venezuelan port or n pnrt of ono. If It were clearly for a lempornry purpose.
Bnt ll Is mnde clenr thnt such nn oc¬ cupation would not be made wllhout searching inquiry alwut the duration of tho occupation, nnd, even in Ihe event Ihnt It should be clearly shown to be lempornry, thero Is reason to be¬ lieve llmt It would uot tnko plnco without a protest on the pni'l of Ihe United States, so as to lay the founda¬ tion for subsequent action, in cnse the occupatiou was uot speedily lermlu- ntod.
