20. "Jacob vowed a vow." A vow is a aoleinn promiae by whieh a man binda bimaelf to perform certain aci.a. When Jacob came to Bethel he waa an uncon¬ verted man, and he waa not converted while he waa dreaming. God aavea men when they are wide awake. According to the Bible plan no peraon ia converted with¬ out true repentance, confcaaion and faith. Did Jacob repent at thia time? It aeems clear that he did. Yeara afterward he de- tired to returu to Bethel and Imild an al¬ tar to the God "who anawercd" him in the day of hia "diatreaa." Gen. 33: 2. From tnia we tee, 1. That he waa in "diE- trett"—he had "godly aorrow" (2 Cor. 7: 10) on account ot hia aina. 2. He called on the Lord and God "anawered" biui. Thua God'a appearing to bim waa the re¬ ault of eameat, agonizing prayer on hia part, 3, Jacob gave bimaelf to God and took the Lord to be hia God. V. 21. 4. Ue even proniiaed to give to God a tenth of til that God might give bim. Now here ia ample proof of hia couveraiuu; (or when a repenting heart cornea thua to Gnd, and makea hia vow to God aa ,lae'oI] did, the Itotd ia alwaya ready to aave. "If God," etc. A better rendering ia "aince God." Hia worda are not to be conaidered ua im¬ plying a doubt. He did not dictate terma to God; he really aaid that inaaniuch ua Uod had promiaed to auatain and keci> him, therefore he would give him«l!1{ to God.
22. "Ood'a houae." A placo aacred to the memory of God'a preaence. "The tenth." Aa Abraham had done. Gen, 14: JO. 	
PETRIFACTION A FAKE,
¦aleatlat Who Oalau a Baal Ca>a Haa IVavav ll**a raaad. Prof. W. J. McOee of the Ethnologi¬ cal Bureau at Waahlngton, is author¬ ity for tbe statement tbat no sucb thine as human petrifaction has ever been discovered. He doea not claim tbat It cannot exist, but simply atates that all cases of petrified human be¬ ings up to tbe present time ars neth- Ing more or leas tban fakes.
Recently a letter forwarded to the bureau stated that tbe head of a man, reported to be petrified, had been dis¬ covered somewhere In the wilds of New Jersey. I.Ater came the myste¬ rious bead, and a convocation of learn¬ ed aclentltts gravely held council over It They were disappointed. The head turned out to be a limestone boulder, curloualy fashioned. It Is true. Into features very like a human belng'a, but a limestone boulder ncviTtheless.
Another case which nt the time looked as though It would explode all of tha old theories and prove to be the real things, was tbat of a body of a woman, which a company had been exhibiting tbrougbout tbe West as the only petrified woman. She excited mucb attention and the notice of tbe scientists at the Ethnological Bureau waa drawn to the case, "Tbe only petrified woman" was forwarded to Washington and an Investigation was beld. The scene of the Inquest was a gruesome aSalr. It was Inte on a winter afternoon, and one gas jet was lit. The body vas laid out In the center of tbe room In Us frame colTn, and Prof. McGee, with much gravity, proceeded to conduct the services. Tbey consisted of taking from hit pockets several little Instruments and of uorlng a few Inches Into the foot. To tbe smaiement of every onlooker, a small section of a gas pipe was struck. Tbis ended the inquest. Mrs. Stone's reputation as a profcgllonal was for¬ ever spoiled, aod the no longer went galavanting around the country pos¬ ing as "tbe one and only petrified woman ever discovered In tbe history of the world."
There Is a factory In California which manufactures petrified human fcelnga by the wholesale. They causs them to be buried In different parts ot tha country, then unearthed and sold for exhibition purposes. Every kind of a petrified human being, men. wom¬ en and children, lndian.s. giants, and wtfkt-not. has been unearthed In ^- mote parts of the l'nlt<>d t^tates. and their finding has resulted In a big sen¬ sation tor the Immediate locality', and a gold mine for the fellow wbo took It up for exhl'ultlon purposes. Moro frauda havo been perpetrated In this way than even In the dime museums. The bureau has suppro^ii^ed more of tbes* frauds within recent years thaa It bas stopped to count, and thrm Is not a year without Us good sensalioa In taat oflice itself.
Corporatlona Paying Taxes,
The first of the four spei-lnl statutes enacted by the last leglalature to bear ^nilt Is the act placing a State lax on tbe capllnl stock, surplus and undivided profits of trust companies. The laxes under that act are payable on or before Scptemher 1, nnd $,51)4,- )58 bas been paid Into Ihc State treas¬ ury. Basing the computations on Ihe reports fileil with the State Coi.troller, It Is estim.itpd lbls aot will bring Into the State treasury $1,3,''ai,000.

From Ibe reporta receiveil 1>* tbo Controller, It Is estltnatcd the lo amount of rorporatlou taxes thnt wilt collected  during tbe  i-urrent
year will reach 14,875,000. The total amount of coriwratlon taxes collected last year was |2,«24,508. Thus Ibe Iucrense for the current fiscal year win  be  about $2,250,000.

I the problem which bad been tor- meoting Jim Harrison tor tbe last six mouths or more. It was the ques¬ tion he asked himself nervously when¬ ever he littiipened to sec May and Luey Thompson together.
May and Lucy woro cousins, or¬ phans, who shared a bome, au aged auut who perfornied the duties ot a ehn|ieroii aud a dross allowance ot $2."i0 |)er annum
.May was yiiiiug anrt pretty. Now, youth anrt lienuty being two ot the surest of Cupid's darts. May's youth anrt good looka would surely have set- tlert ,Tim, only, uutortunately, Lucy was young aurt prett'y, too.
May wiis tall nnd dark, wilh a Greek prollle. and masses of siiiooili, hluo- lihiek li.Hir, arranged lu simple colls, regardless of fashion's rteerees.
Lucy, on the other hand, was a small, fair girl, wllh au aureole of fluffy hair anrt the sauciest iiez re¬ trousse in the world.
Jim admired tall, dark wouieu, anrt tbe contemplation ot a Greek profile was to lilm a source ot unceasing Joy.
This wpuld. no iloHlit, hnve led him to give thtv^prorerouco lo Mny, hail it not been tor the fait that nn equally amialile wenkuosa for Lucy's type of loveliness drew him In the opposite direction.
,Ilm's friends spoke of Muy as onp ot Hie moat aceompllshert and amiable creatures thoy hart ovor met.
Tliey reterrort to Luey in precisely similar terms.
Mny looked inagnifloent in while satin, aud wheu ,llin saw her iu a hall- room lie woudereil how lie could ever hnve given a tliouglit to Lucy.
Hul, thon. Luey was altogether lie- witclilug iu lilue linen, aud uo sooner did Harrisiiu behold her thus nttlrod lu a puul oil the river than the vision of May's dianiis failort into InsigulH- cnnie. To mako a long story short ,llm's nrtoriiliou of .May wa.s only pqu.Tlert by Ills rtevoliou to Lucy, aurt ditlli'iillles were lu no wise lesspncrt by the fact that hoth parlies recipro¬ cated hia alTectlou.

rlson, nt Bcrtie'a Insfipat'on, entered tho drawing room, au unexpected vis ion met his gaze.
Luey was seated at the piano, bang lug the keys with one haud, and with the othpr maintaining a stcad.v eom¬ niunlcatlon lietween hor mouth nnrt a box ot chocolales. plaeert within con- veulcnt reach. She was garbed lu nn olrt satin skirt no longpr in its prime, anrt a much befrlllcd rtresslng Jacket, that must have been coquettish In Its youth, but whs now slightly soilert. A pair ot pink satin shoes, no longer Ir loproacuable. coiupletpd the costunio. Her pretty fluffy hair, witb Its dis¬ tracting Uttlo jwuts and ourls, that Jim considered the most adorable part ot Lucy, had suffered lotal eclipse unrter a mass of halr-curlors.
Jim, having uo slaters ot his own, was unaccustomed to this last phe¬ nomenon. Who Ihat has ever expo- rloucort It n-ill readily forget tho shock produced upon a delicate nervous or¬ ganizatlou at tbe flrst glimpse of a young and bpautlful woman under the Infiiionce of hair-curlers'i!
In ten second Jim Harrison suffered all the tortures of a terrilde dlsllUi- slonmcDt. Lucy, the child ot his dreams, wlnsouie, dpllcnte Lucy, with her feathery, golden curls aud hor Dresden china daintiness, faded frotu bis vision, SLd there remained a very ordinary young person In a soilert satin skirt nnrt questlonablp shoos—o young person with n tip-tlltpd nosp, who rtevourprt chocolates wholesale, aud owed her chlpf attraction lo ex¬ traneous causes commonly cnlled curling-pins.
Without a word and before Lucy had had time lo become conscious ol his presence, Hariison turned nnrt fled trom the room.
"Como aud see May," whispered Bertie.
"No, for honvon's sake!" cried thr miserable Jim. "I can't stand any more of this!"
Novcrtholess, a sort of fearful fasci¬ nation, a wild desire to know the worst, led him to follow the relentlosg Bertie dowu tbe sairs Into th<i regions devoted lo culinary pursuits.
They found May lu the kitcben, mak¬ ing a Yorkshire pudding, .\ttlrod In a pink cotton overall, the long sleeves of which wore rolled back well above tbe dimpled elbow, she vigorously stirred Ihe batter, pausing every now anrt then to brush away certain rpbcl- lious tears that threatened to mingle with the pudding. Her heavy black hair was colled, aa he had alwnys seen it, lu neat braids nround tho stapely heart. Jim rpnipmlM'i-ed tbat he hart sometimes couslderiHl the stylo a trifle severe, and had oven compared the simple coils uufavorably with Lucy's picturesque locks. .\t tills luo- nieut ho could uot understand bow he had ever marto such a mistake. The thought of Iho cuillug-plns dispelled the charm of the curls.
XIa.v, making a batter pudding and in tears! The combination was Irre¬ sistible. To Hnrrlsou the girl had never seemed so beautiful as uow. H glanced rouud tbe kitchen. Berllc, bright youth! bad disappeared. Jltn was alone with .May and hor pudding anrt hor tears.

The rest ot tho seuteuco was wlils- perort to Ihc second button ot Jim's waistcoat.

HE BUYS SPOILED EGGS
A     NEW    JERSEY    MAN'S    PECULIAR BUSINESS.
Sew Tork En Dealera Can't rind Ont i What Ua Unca Wllh Tbein, But Ihey Ara Cllad to Gat Rid of Ilia Bad V.gKt —Known aa the Rotten Ess King.
"Do you know what becomes ot spoiled eggs?" askod a Harrison street denier In butter and eggs, ot h New York Commercial Advertiser reporter. "1 don't moan the slightly stale eggs, but those that arc goue beyond re- deniptiou, the kind tbat could not bo sold for n ceut a hundred."
The person addressed said be didn't suppose nuythlug wns doue with them, sHve to cousigu tbem to Ihe garbage hon^i, but tho dealer smiled In a superior way and contlnupd;
"Owing to the recent bot spell all tbrougb tbe great ogg-produeing sec¬ tions of the MIrtrtle West thousands and thousands of dozens ot eggs have been lost. Out ot an average daily receipt In this city ot about SOOO cases, each cou:aiuiug thirty dozen ot eggs, at least two dozen in every cnse. or nearly a liuartor ot a mlUiou eggs, have arr^,ved spoiled. Mnny ot the eggs are pretty far gone nt the time ot shipment, probnbly, but a great deal of the deterioration uu- douhtedly takes place while they ai'e en route. The beat bas been so In¬ tense aud so geuerni tbnt It bns do- Hod all ordinary efforts ot the rail¬ roads and the shippers to keep the stock cool aud tresb until arrival. This large percentage ot bnd eggs means a considerable tiuaucial loss to the Western shippers, aud formerly It would have entailed some expouse ou tho Now York dealer, for at one trmc we had to pay to have them thrown away. Thore is very little waste about the egg Industry as It Is conducted to¬ day, however. Now nil Ibe 'rots,' or, in plain Kugllsb, Ibe rotten eggs that turn up In tho Now York market are snld to a man who bas a factory lu Secancus, N. J., where thoy are con- vertod, through some secret process. Into producis said to be valuable in several Hues of manufacture. Just whnt use his peculinr output are put lo in manufacturing, fow persons kuow except himself anrt those who buy Ihe stuff, but It Is popularly sup¬ posed that oup of tho principal uses is lu the treatment ot certalu kinds ot leather or the manufacture ot shoo polish.
"Another outlet for the Seeaueus product, I have beon told, is iu tho glazing ot some of Iho very cheap brands ot coffee. Thero aro halt a dozeu uses to wbicb the stuff is put, aeeordlug to Ihc gossip of Ihe prortiue markets, but praetically no one lias any first-baud knowledge ot the mat¬ ter nnd most ot those reports are more guess work. Tbo Imporinut fnct is that even the rotten cg.g Is nddiiig its modest share to tbo sum total ot American wealth and prosperity, this being ouly another Illustration ot tho principle of utilization of waste that has played so Imporinut a jiart lu makiiii' this cnunlry pre-emiueiit nnioug tho uiauufacturlug uatious ot the  world.
"The Secnucus man bas .yearly con¬ tracts with the big cummlsslou anil wliolosalo egg dealers in the west side district and lu the olher large markets in Jlanhatla.i and Brooklyu for all the 'rots' they flnd In their slocks lu course of the twelve months, aud in years like the preseut. wlion the heat hangs on for long periods iu nil the largo producing secthiiis of tlii' eouutry, bo must get many milliuus of eggs. A big green tight-covorert wngon goes through Ihp district every day and makes tbe ciillecllous. His plant over In Jeisey nveuue employs n cousidera lile force, 1 uuder.sOrtnl, nnd none ot Iho workiiieti ha i ever been kuiiwn lo give away aiiy ot the maniifacturer's secrot.«.
¦I hnvo uever visited the eslablish- mont myself, and never expect lo, but several produce men who weut lo see thlugs aud Hnd out what was going ou, came back aurt reportcrt 'uothing ilolug.' They salrt thnt wllrt horses wouldn't drag Hum thore again. Bar¬ ren Island, they said. Isn't a '.Ircuiii- stance' to the Socuucus plnnt.

Cast Iron plates three Inches In diameter and three-fourths of an Inch thick were polished on one face by a flne emery wheel and Ihe remaining surface lacquered. In Ihe centre of the pol¬ ished surfoce of ench disc a bole flve- elgblhs ot an loch In diameter wat bored, and plugs of different metali, either copper, zinc, lead or carbon, flrmly Inserted. Tbe plates were theo burled In sand moistened with sail water and allowed to remain In thhi condillon for a montb. Ou removal and examination It was fouud that all Ibe plates were badly corroded around tbe plugs except that wllb the zinc plug, which plate retained Its original bright appearance. The ex¬ planation offered Is that Ibe Iron Is never nbsolutely pure, containing varl¬ oua forelga Impurities, lUch as par- llclet ot copper, graphite, carbon, etc. These two substances In coutact, wbeu moisture is present, form a uluutc electric couple, or cell, setting np an pleetrlc current, which produces Ibe rustinK or corrlslon. In nlmost all ras<-H (lbo zl^c esse being an excep- ilcni the electric current thus set up, which is infiullesiinul lo strength, flmva from Ihe irou lo the other metsi, ir Itber Impurity, wblle In Ihe case of the zinc plug It flows lo Ibe oppo¬ site direction. Corrosloo, or wasting, cau only take place In the dlrectl'^n of the current, and as zioc Is not readily oxldlzablc It It not easily cor¬ roded, and that la the reason wby sine la uaed for galranlxlng iron—to prevent rusting.
