WOMEN AS POULTRY RAIsERs.

The custom practiced in France, of
allowing the wife so many francs month
or year as ''pin money!" to use as she
pleases, is one that should be generally
adopted, especially in the United States.
On the farm the care and profits of some,
if not all the poultry, could be very
properly transferred to the women of the
household. The care of poultry is a
business naturally adapted to woman, as
it requires patience and attention. and
at the same time kindness and gentle
ness, traits too often lacking in the
sterner sex. There is no event in con-
nection with poultry raising. during the
whole year, which has not its interest

creatures of the farmyard, whether it be

"PAY JOHN WILLIAMS"

At prayer-meeting not far from
Boston, man whose credit was not the
best, and who was somewhat noted for
his failure to meet his obligations, arose
to speak. The subject for the evening
was, What shall do to be saved ?"
Commencing in measured tones he quo
ted the passage, what shall l do to be
saved ?" He paused, and again more
emphatically asked the question, "What
shall / do to be saved ?" Again with
increased solemnity and impressiveness
of manner, he repeated the momentous
inquiry, when voice from the assembly
in clear and destinct tones answered,
go and pay John Williams for that
yoke of oxen you bought of him !"
The remainder of the gentleman's address
was not reported. All present apprecia-
ted the fitness Of the unexpected word in
season, and were saved from hearing a
lengthy exhortation from swindler's
lips. The incident has led US to think
that there are good many people who,
before they make much progress in
walking in the way of salvation them
selves. or guiding others therein. will
have to go and pay John Williams. "
or John somebody else. the money that
they honestly owe them. There is no
man shrewd enough to pursue course
of dishonesty and trickery, and still
retain the favor of God in this world,
or good hope of glory for the world to
come. 1t is best to settle up. square up,
and pay up, and then it will be in order
to talk in the prayer-meeting. Chris.

"MODERN THOUGHT" Is
MOSTLY OLD.

What form of opposition to evangeli-
cal truth in its main outline and essential
feature is there to-day that there has
not been in days gone by? What weap-
on is in its essential principle new in
all the arsenal of unbelief? The hands
that swing these weapons are hands,
indeed, of the living present, but the
weapons are old, and the hands that
once were broken in their swinging are
dust, as the new ones soon will be.
Chaucer said, hundreds of years ago:
"Out OF the olde ieldes as men saith
Cometh at this newe corne from yere to yere;
And out Of olde bookes in good fathe,
Cometh al this newe science that men lere.
And it is as true of the skepticisms of
our time as it is of any other of its belong
ings, the thing that is, is the thing that
hath been. The great record-house of
Christian history has its alcoves where
are gathered the cognate views and spec
ulations of many ages. There sifted and
analysed, they are catalogued and put
away in everlasting remembrance. And
not an opposer of orthodox Christianity
to-day, and nota speculation adverse to
orthodox Christianity, but may find his
and its substantial counterpart ticketed
and pigeon-holed in those ancient alcoves
of recollection. Arianlsm, Sybellianism,
these are indeed musty old titles, it
may be, but they are as fresh as the
springs new clover leaves in their accur-
ate description of what vaunts itself as
many brand-new statement of Christi
anity to-day. Marvellously would it
abate the swelling pride of many mod
ern amender of our orthodox Christian
ity, within the church and out of it,
could he but know (as he might know
did he take the pains to enquire) that
as to the substantial gravamen of his
difficulty and device, the Church heard
it and tired of it ages since.
Cease, then, responding over the
opposition to Christian faith. God lives
The foundation stones of his gospel are
set too firmly ever to be removed The
mortar he laid them in is adamant tc
mans picks and trowels. They will MOI
be got out of position in our day.
The sin of man, the love of God, The
incarnation of Christ, the expiration OF
Calvary, salvation by faith, regenera

: church-these are facts they will remain
And on the basis of these facts it i

THE Cup OF SoRRow.-On classic
cups and vases we have sometimes seen
devices carved by the cunning hand of
the sculptor. So around the cup of
trial. which God commands to the lips
of suffering Christians, are wreathed
many comforting assurances. Here is
one of them "All things work together
for good to them which love God.'
Here is another like it: ''As thy day is
so shall thy strength be-" Afflicted
friend, turn thy cup of sorrow around
and you will see engraved on it these
precious words: "As one whom his
mother comforteth, so will | comfor
you" Turn it again, and read: "My
grace is sufficient for thee" The whole
cup Is encircled with the words of love
But it requires faith to read them
They are invisible to selfshness ant
blind unbelief. And God sometimes
washes the eyes of his children will
tears, in order that they may read arigh
his providence and his commandments

Many a poor mother, in an humble
cot, with no money or position. has strug-
gled hard to feed and clothe her little
ones, to train them to be an honor to
their country, and blessing to the world.
Most of our useful, prominent men came
from such homes. Our churchyards are
full of such mothers. whose hands are
folded over their breasts. No worldly
eye ever saw the records of their lives !:
only God and the angels. No tall mon
uments and high. sounding epitaphs mark
their resting places. What response
bility rests upon the mothers!

JOHN RUSKIN'S ADVICE TO
YOUNG LADIES.

See that no day passes in which you
do not make yourself a somewhat better
creature; and in order to do that, find
out, first, what you are now. Do not
think vaguely about it; take pen and
paper and write down as minute des-
cription of yourself as you can, with the
date to it. If you dare not do SO, find
out why you dare not, and try to get
strength of heart enough to look your
self fairly in the face, in mind as well
as body. 1 do not doubt but that the
mind is less pleasant thing to look at
then the face, and for that very reason
it needs more looking at: so always have
two mirrows on your toilet-table, and
see that with proper care you dress body
and mind before them daily. o q q
Write down then, frankly, what you
are, or, at least, what you think your
self, not dwelling upon those inevitable
faults which have just told you are Of
little consequence, and which the action
of right life will shake or smooth
away; but that you may determine to
the best of your intelligence what you
are good for and can be made into.
Teach-yourself frst-to read with
attention and to remember with affect.

About the happiest gas company in this
county to-day is situated in st. Louis. The
gas company Of that city was chartered in
1886, and tho contract gave the municipal
corporation tho right to purchase the works
ct an appraised valuation after term of
years. A dispute subsequently arose as to
when this time expired, but in 1870 the city
insisted that it had already arrived, and re-
fused to pay any moro bills for lighting the
street lamps. A receiver was appointed and
the litigation has been going on ever since.
In 1877 the circuit court gave decision in
favor of the city, and this was confirmed
later by the court of appeals, but the su-
preme court of the State has at last rendered
Judgment in favor OF the company. There
sult is that the city must pay gas bill of
nearly million dollars that has been
running up since 1870. while million more
of profits that has been gathering in the
hands of the receiver during these years is
unlocked. There is thus about two million
dollars for immediate division among the
of the company, while it is
guaranteed monopoly of ten years more
for furnishing the greater part of the city
with gas. No wonder the shares jumped
from 1913 to $3.50 and 800 when the de-
cision was announced.
