Beecheron Christ,s Appearance

New York Times.l
AT last evenings service in the
lecture room of Plymouth church,
Henry Ward Beecher spoke Of the
human conception OF Christ
"There is no personal description
of Christ to be found in the scrip
tures," said he. "The only matter
in this connection that any of the
evaDgelists seem to have specially
referred to was His eyes, and of
these some of them speak in such a
manner as to lead one to infer that
there was a wondrous magnetism
in His gaze. All the pictures OF
Christ are, therefore. bumbugs from
historical point of view. There
was an impression Of Chists face
taken by some Greek artists, it is
true, but this impression is not to
be trusted, as it presents to us
Greek head, and Christ was not a
Greek, but a jew. Probably, if we
could see a picture of Christ as He
really was, we should be shocked,
as all previous impressions we had
formed with regard to His appear
ance would in all likelihood be en-
tIrely destroyed. Christ was
Hebrew of the Hebrews, and He
probably had a strong Jewish cast
of couatenaace, for no race has ever
existed which has had more
marked personal CHARACTERISTIC that
the Jewish race. AS far as conceiv-
ing Christ in everyday life goes"
continued Mr. Beecher, 81 must
admit that l cannot picture Him as
standing over a wash-tub, but were
l to imagine him in this manner
at ALL should certainty think of
Him as making the best bread that
was possible to be made, and exer-
cisIng due moderation when it came
To eating it. -

Among tools, the saw-mill stands
next to the axe as a pioneer of
civilization, but it was not until the
year 1920 that they came into effec-
tive and general use. For unknown
ages men toiled slowly and pain
fully, hewing, splitting, and saving
timber on the banks of mill streams,
which laughed idly at their feeble
work. If one-tenth of the mental
ability and patient thought had been
given to the improvement Of tools
which was wasted for centuries upon
proftless metaphysical problems,
the world would have been centuries
in advance Of its present position in
comfort, wealth and intelligence.

A Boys Composition on Girls.


Girls are the most unaccountable
things in the world-except women.
Like the wicked feas, when you
have them they amt there. | can
cipher clean over to the mosts i'm
proper fractions, and the teacher
says l do it first rate, but l can't CT
pher out a girl, proper or improper,
and you can't either. The only
rule 10 arithmetic that hits their
case is the double rule of two.
They are as full of the Old Nick as
their skins can hold, and they'd die
If they couldn't torment somebody
When they try to be mean they are
as mean as purseley, though they
amt as mean as they let on to be,
except sometimes, and then they
are a great deal meaner. The only
way to get along with, a girl when
she comes with her nonsense is to
give her tit for tat, and that will
hummux her; when you get girl
fummuxed she is as nice as new
pie. A girl can SOW more wild oats
IL a day than q boy can in year,
but girls get their wild oats sogcd
awhile, which boys never do, and
then they settle down as calm and
placid as a mud puddle. But i like
girls first rate, and guess all boys
do. l don't care how many tricks
they play on me-and they don't
care either The hvity -toiuest girl
in The world can't always boil over
like glass of soda water. By-and-
by they will get into the traces with
somebody they like, and pull as
steady as an old stage horse. That
is the beauty of them. So let 'em
wave, say; they will pay for it
some day, sewing on buttons, and |
trying to make a decent man of the |
fellow they have spliced onto; and |
ten chances to one il they don't get |
the worstaof it.

The Memphis Appeal says that a
young farmer, of Shelby county,
named May, has been successful in
the manufacture of ensilage, a
species of food for cattle that in
winter takes the place of the clover
of summer. and is more nutritious.
The method adopted by Mr.. May
was simply to cut the pea vine down,
chop it, and press it into a pit forty
feet long, ten feet broad and ten feet
deep. In this pit he made fifty tons
of ensilage, with which he proposes
to fatten sixteen head of cattle for
three months. The best stock
raisers recommend it, and practical
farmers in the west are loud in its
praise.

There are many reasons to believe
that the English language is des-

pers of the world with all other

This is an excellent winter for
pairing the ground for orch ards,
and planting fruit trees. An or
ohsrd is as Indispensable TO the
farmer as a garden. 1t furnishes q
healthful food, great luxury. 1t
attaches children to home. 1t en-
hances the value of the farm. 1t
pays to plant fruit trees. All winter
long, the farmer, if he has an or
chard, has got an unfailia g supply
of apples to go to. They can be
cooked, eaten raw, converted into
cider, or sold at good prices. Or
chards are as necessary as cows, or
sheep or hogs. Don't fail to plant
good orchards-Rural World.

Farmers should endeavOr to sell
as little as possible of that which
comes mainly from the soil, and as
much as possible OF that which
comes from the atmosphere. Butter
and fat stock sold will improve a
farm; while cheese, milk and lead
stock sold will keep the farm lean,
unless manure or fertilizers are
bought. .lr

1t is always apparent that the
mechanic who has given the amount
of energy necessary to thoroughly
comprehend and master his bust
ness is always the one who has work
and good wages, without much
reference to the time, and there is
no reason to doubt that the differ
ence IN this. respect will be more
marked in the future than in the
past; or, in other words, that the
mechanic who, by any means what
ever, fits himself to do more and
better work than another, will find
himself recompensed in a much
greater degree than would be indi-
Gated by the extent of his superiority
and in this there will be nothing but
exact justice to all parties.
There are to-day greater induce
ments for the young mechanic to
improve and perfect himself in his
trade than ever before, since the
absolute value-from a business
point-of skill is beginning to be
fairly appreciated Tradesman.

Where Slate Pencils Come
From.

Any one who has children and
who, about forty lines during
term, hears complaints about them,
their breaking or loss, will perhaps
be glad to know that The supply is
just about inexhaustibls. There i
not the slightest danger that the
world will eJer want tor slate pen
ellis. The hard, black German ones
have been superseded of late years
by the round white ones of clay
slate. At the quarry near Castle
ton, Vermont, about thirty five
workmen produce 10000 pencils
daily, and 1t is proposed to increase
the daily output to 100000. The
blocks when quarried are sawed into
pieces seven by twelve inches. split
to the thickness Of half inch and
smoothed by pllner, the block is
placed under a seni-circular knife
and, after having been turned over,
the process is repeated. A particle
of quartz in the block would break
all the pencils. They are pointed
by grindstone, turned, assorted,
and sent TO market in boxes of a
hundred. f.- ,..-
