Humility.

A certain king would build a cathe-
dral; and that the credit Of it might be
all his own, he forbade any from con-
tributing to its erection in the least de-
gree. A tablet was placed in the side
of the building, and on it his name was
carved, as the builder. But that night
be saw, in a dream, an angel, who came
qown and erased his name, and the
name of a poor widow appeared in its
stead. This was three times repeated;
when the enraged king summoned the
woman before him, and demanded,
'What have you been doing, and why
have you broken my commandments"
The trembling woman replied, 81 love
the Lord and IOnged to DO something
for his name and for the building of
his church. Twas forbidden to touch
it in any way, so in my poverty 1
brought a wisp Of hay for the horses
that drew the stones" And the king
saw that he had labored for his OWN
glory. but the widow for the glory Of
God; and he commanded that her name
should be inscribed uDon the tablet.

"Now go to meeting, dear" said
Mrs. P, as her boy stood smoothing
his hair, preparatory to going out on
Sunday. A fshing-line hung out Of
his pocket. He looked down at his
new shoes, and a thought Of the woods
and fields made him sigh.
ssWhere shall I go?" asked the boy.
Cor" replied she, sublimely, as shd
pulled down his trousers behind, ''go
anywhere where the gospel is dispensed
with"
Such Gberality is rare.

cheerfulness proceeding from nObleness
Of purpose, OF the discomfort arising
from unredeemed promises.

TWO Humble Heroes.

France reckOns two braves more. a
fireman at Tarbes rushed among the
blazing ruins of a house to save his
Captain and a clergyman, who were
buried beneath a floor in endeavOring
to rescue the inmates. The fireman re-
mained trying to eXtTicate the Captain,
but without avail, till the flesh peeled
off his hands and face. He has died
from his wounds, has been buried at
the nations expense, and for a month
his name will be read out first on the
rol-cau Of every regiment in the army.
Jean Planter is a pointsman, and a
few months ago in endeavOrilg to close
the gates Of a crossing, he was struck
down by a goods train and his arm am
putated. Not a soul was within reach,
and, aware that an express train was
due, he tied up the bleeding stump and
remained at his post Of duty till sta

Eject of Coal Gas On Books.

Professor A. II. Church states, in
the Chemical News, that the Injurious
influence of the products Of combustion
of coal gas upon the leather binding
of books is only too well known. Vel
lum seems unaffected; morocco suffers
least; calf is much injured, and Russia
still more so. The disintegration is
most rapid with books on the upper
shelves Of a library, whittier the heated
products of combustion ascend, and
where they are condensed. By COM
pairing specimens Of old leather with
specimens of new It IS quits clear that
the destructive influence Of gas is due
mainly to its sulphur. An analysis of
the crumbled backs of books from the
upper shelves Of a public library in a
room lighted with coal gas, gave these
figures: Free suIphuric acid IN decayed
leather 6.21 p. c.: combined sulphurie
acid in decayed leather, 2.21 y. C, total,

Southern War Claims.

In his speech on the Southern
war claims delivered in the House
on the first day of May, Representa-
tive Hayes, of Illinois, read the titles
of 439 bills introduced in the 45th
Congress for the payment Of South
ern claims, and he recapitulates as
follows:
Sum of house bills asking
for $4,000 or more. ..S4, 926, 1913
Sum of senate, ditto. ..... $4,000
Least sum for blks in bills 4,5I0,000
Total for private bills. 10,257,793
Total amt public claims 192,0O0,000
Grand total. S2O2, ,257,79
And he clinches these figures with
the following utterance from the
Mobile (AIa.) Register:
''The most unfortunate incident
of the late presidential election was
the letter written by Mr.. Tilden, a
short time before the election, saying
be would veto any bill proposing to
pay southern war claims"
The South is desperately in
earnest in having these bills paid,
and unless the next House is Repub-
lican. they will be paid.

How TO Tell A R1PE WA
TERMELoN.-When The melon
begins to change color inside
and its seeds to turn black, a
small black speck, scale or bis
ter begins to appear on the out
Ier cuticle or rind. These are
multiplied and enlarged as the
fruit natures. A ripe melon
will show them thickly sown O.
yer the'surface; a partial deyel-
Iopment only indicates half ri
pened fruit; full crop of bis
ters reveals its perfect ripeness.
When hundreds of melons are
strewn along the sidewalk you
will have to look pretty SHARPLY
to find ore that exhibits a salts
factory appearance. But it is
unfailing when found, and by
following this guide you may
walk away with yours melon
with the most entire confidence
The blister is only to be seer
upon close inspection, but il
plainly visible when that il
given.

Improved Stock.

AS we have passed through
tho country and noticed the
scrub stock, the land sharks, il
has been a matter Of surprise TO
us that farmers could be so blind
TO their own interest as to plod
on in the old rut that their faith
cgs fred instead of keeping up
wiki the times in raising the
hest stock. Take for instance,
tiie hog: A good Berkshire or
Poland-China pig viii make as
mnch pork at eight or ten
months old as ono Of these
slab-sided land pixies will in
eighteen, and do it with much
less expense otherwise, besides
enabling the owner TO realize
or his labor so much sooner.
This estimate does not take in
10 account the fact that the inn
proved breeds are always worth
from one-half to one and one
bali cents a pound more than
the common stock.
What is true of hogs is no
less true of cattle, sheep and
horses. 1t costs no more, if as
much, to raise a short-horn steer
as to raise a scrub or Texas
steer, but whea raised and fat
tened for the market the differ
ence in value will be found TO
amount to several dollars in "a
vor of the short-horn. And
this difference is just as marked
through all the stock on the
farm, even down to the poultry
yard. Let US hope that the time
is near at hand when our farm
ers, as a class, may see the adj
vantage of producing the best
of everything, and then viii an
era Of prosperity dawn upon
them.

TO Make a Lactometer.

The following method of max
ing a cheap and simple lactometer
or apparatus for testing pure milk,
cream, etc is taken from an old
agricultural journal, and may be
of value to many interested in
the matter referred TO just at this
time:
"Any housekeeper who desires
to test the purity Of the tactical
fluid furnished daily by the milk
man, can provide himself with al
impromptu and to all purposes
IAN Efficient lsctomeier in this ca.
sy way. Procure glass bulb
and stem, both hollow; load it
with quicksilver, sand or even
bird shot, until the instrument
will float upright in milk known
to be pure. Mark on the stem
the point to which it sinks-the
surface point. Remove it from
the milk and float it in pure wa.
ter, marking the surface point az
before, which will be considerably
higher an the stem than the 9TH
er merk. Now take a narrow
slip of paper, capable of being
rolled lengthwise and inserted in
the stem of the instrument 80
that figures on it will be visible
through the glass. Lay of on
this--in The direction OK its length
Ia space equal to the distance
between the two surface points,
numbering the first point 0 and
the ether 100. Sub-divide this
space into ten or twenty proper
tional spscee correspondingly mum
bered; roll the clip and insert il
in the stem until the 0 is at the
surface point of the milk, and the
100 at that Of tie water. Your
lactometef is now complete. Float
it in your milk can every morn
ing, and the depth to which il
sinks will register the percentage
of dishonest water, il any, the
milk contains. Suppose, for ex
ample, the instrument sinks unit
the surface line cuts the figure 10
TIE milk contains fifteen per cent
of added water.
