IN TIMES OF TRIAL.
How the Discipline of Addiction IllumI-
mates Gods Word.

How the Discipline of Addiction IllumI-
mates Gods Word.
How many portions of Gods word
have been explained to us by our trials
There is no commentator of the Script
unfolds new beauties where all had APP
peared to be beautiful before; and where
formerly there was what we thought
wilderness, it has revealed to us fruit
full field. The old psalms have quavered
for us with a new pathos as we sat by
our ''Babel stream and have sounded
for us with new joy as we found our
captivity turned as the streams in the
south. The man who has seen much
affection will not readily part with his
copy of the Word of God. Another
book may seem to others to be identical
with his own; but it is not the same to
him. for over his old and tear-stained
Bible he has written, in characters which
are visible to no eyes but his own, the
record of his experience, and ever and
anon he comes to Bethel pillars or Elm
palms, which are to him the memorials
of some critical chapter in his history.
How many of us. too, might say with
truth that we had never really prayed
until God sent us into captivity! Our
worship has been outward, formal,
cold; a thing of duty, not of sincerity;
an affair, shall I say? of luxury rather
than of need. But now we have found
out what the mercy-seat means, and
know that prayer is the surest and
sweetest solace in the hour of perplex-
ity. This is Gods lend and expecta-
ton" in our captivity; and when that
is realized is there one among us who
would affirm that the result is not worth
the price? By such experiences it is
that Christians are made; and if we
would be great in holiness, we must lay
our account with the discipline through
which alone that greatness can be Civ
en- Nor must we imagine that God is
changed toward US while thus He is
dealing with us. In all and through
all He is working for our good, that at
the last He may present us to Himself
without spot or wrinkle or any such
thing; and whatsoever we are apt to
suspect Him, He falls back upon His
own conscious love to us and says: 81
know the thoughts that think toward
you, thoughts of peace, and not OF evil,
to give you an unexpected end. WILL

HUNTING THE BUFFALO.

Costly Game Killed by Six Young Men on
the Dakota Prairies.

inga sharp lookout for game, suddenly
the Captain bawled out: BY George,

'Wherea' cried Mel and 1 at the
same time.
On that hill over there to the

Why, he's as big as house.
There he was, indeed. And in the
haze that perpetually surrounds these
hills he appeared to be forty feet high,
and to grow bigger every time we
looked at him. IN tell you how we'll

looked feasible to us, and we concealed

and waited, our hearts in our mouths,
for the noble game. The Captain had
about a mile to 90 to round him out, and
we were getting awfuily impatient, when
suddenly we heard a great rushing
sound in the ravine, and soon the OIL
gantic animal came forth crashing
through the brush that lined the ra,
vine. We only got glimpse of him,
but that was enough. and we both fired
and had the satisfaction of seeing him
stagger forward through the brush
few steps and fall, the noblest game
huntsman ever brought down. We
raised a shout of triumph and started
toward our prey, when we heard a
great halloo:ng. and looking up the
hill saw the Captain running down
toward us waving his hands and shout
ing at the top of his voice. We thought
something was the matter and waited
for him. The first words he used as he
ran up all breathless were:
You blasted fools, you didn't shoot
him, did you?' You bet we did, re-

How to Remove Scars.

Scars are always unsightly and are
often painful or inconvenient on ac-5
count of the propensity to contract as
they become older. DR.. Ward, of New
York, asserts that they may be removed
by manipulation, which he directs to be
employed as follows: Place the ends OF
two or three fingers on scar if it be
a small one. and on the margin if it be
large. and yibrate the surface on the
tissues beneath. The surface itself is
not to be subjected to any friction; all
the motion must be between the integ-
ument and the deeper parts. The Local
ton of the vibratile motion should be
changed every ten or fifteen seconds
until the whole scar has been treated, if
it be of moderate size. Ii the scar be
the result of large seald or burn the
margin should be treated at first; the
advances toward the center should be
deferred until the nutrition of the mar
gins has been decidedly improved.
Only a little treatment should be APP
Piled to any one spot at the same time,
but the vibrat.o IONS should be repeated
as many as twenty times day, but
never with sufficient frequency or Sc
verify to cause pain. If the scar be-
comes irritable suspend treatment until
it subsidies. In the course of two or
three weeks of faithful treatment the
surfaces of the scars of moderate size
become more movable and will begin
to form wrinkles like true skin when
pressed from side to side. All these
changes are due to improved nutrition,
consequent upon better blood circula-
tion-the development of entirely new
sets of blood vessels in the cicatricial
tissue.-Miaaia,g and Scientific Press.

HOME AND FARM.

1t is better to make an acre of land
worth 500 that was previously worth
only so, than it would be to buy 800

The practice of keeping cattle till
three or four years old before fattening
is much less common now than form
erly. The improved breeds of beef
cattle mature early. Two year-old
steers of the Short-horn breed are as
mature and average larger than three
year-olds of native stock. More good
beef can be made between one and two
years old at less cost with Short-horn
cattle than by keeping them longer
~. Y. Herald
Onions cannot be kept well in a
damp cellar. The secret of keeping
onions is to have them thoroughly dry
when put into the cellar, and keep them
so. Also keep them cool. Onions that
are not wanted until late winter or
early spring may be stored in a dry
loft and covered with foot or more of
hay or straw. In this position, if the
weather is tolerably even, they will
remain frozen all winter, and may be
used as desired. They should not be
thawed out until wanted.-Atbany

The Queens Horses.

At Windsor it is considered the cor
rect thing, after the inspection of the
royal apartments and chapels, to visit
the royal stables. Admittance to the
stable-yard is gained by the registra-
ton of the visitors name at the yard
gate. Why this formality should be
observed I do not know, for it would
hardly enable, the authorities to find
any person disposed to steal anything,
and, moreover, there is nothing to
tempt the most incurable kleptoman-
lac. No man of the least discriminate
ing taste in horsetlesh could be induced
to take present of any of the twenty
or thirty royal hacks that are usually
kept in the Windsor stables. mile

The Frozen Wonders of Siberia.

.When 1 was in Siberia said Cap
tain Furskins, cit was SO burned cold
that your breath would freeze and drop
in Jumps to the ground. But we had
lots of fun. There were plenty of jack
rabbits and other game, but it was
most too cold to handle gun. So on
a clear moonlight night we would set a
couple of big headlight lanterns on the
glistening snow, way outon the steppes,
and just wait for developments. The
rabbits would be attracted by the in
tense light, which was reflected for a
GREAT distance over the snow crust. and
would all gather in a circle around the
lamps in mute establishment at the free
picnic they were having. By and by
their eyes would begin to water from
the intensity of the ght, and as drop
after drop rolled down it formed an
icicle from the ground up. which finally
froze solid to the eye-balls and there
we had 'em. Next morning all you
had to do was to take 'em by the tail
and break 'em Off the ic;cles. Mis-

There is far-away cloud, no bigger

my mind that Dempsey's dog DON'T
IKE me, for although have only met
him twice. he has taken particular
pains to hurt my feelings; still I am
bound to conquer him in the end as he
has conquered me. I started out a
few days after our first meeting to see
Dempsey and learn something of the
dogs character. As approached the
house beheld, seated on the front
steps, the Gothic canine and fancied
that he smiled when his italic eyes
rested upon me, and perhaps a remem-
nrance of orr last interview crossed his
mind, but no wag of recognition dis
turbed the serene composure of his
parenthetical tail. attempted to re-

Now, whether the dog had told Demp-
sey anything about our first meeting I
do not know; SO observed that the
name was appropriate and let the mat
ter rest there. On being questioned as
to the dogs hunting abilities, Dempsey
said he was out of practice on every
thing except fleas, but if liked 1 could
take him out some day and try him.
Having discussed the good points of
Dempsey's dog some little time longer,

1t Should Be Every Farmers Aim to Con-
tinually Improve His Farm.
The world moves, and why should
the farmer be content to jog on in the
same old way his father trod? Some
are enterprising enough to keep up
with the times and make use of all
modern appliances for carrying on the
business successfully and profitably;
but, as we go about the country, we see
many who are content to let things
drift so long as they can keep soul and
body together by doing as their fathers
did. The most profitable farming is
that where liberal expenditures are
made, not only for improved tools and
machinery, but for fertilizers as well.
The farm should be constantly growing
better. 1t should be the aim of every
owner of farm to improve the same a
little each year, so as to bring the land
into high state OF fertility and keep it
so. it-
Lands so treated will pay far better
than those that are skinned year by
year, until at last they almost cease to
produce. Nature can not be cheated.
We must treat the soil literally if we
are to reap a reward. Let the
farmer be awake to his interest
in every direction The mer-
chants and business men are constant
ly pushing to keep abreast of the times,
no matter how sharp the composition.
Let the farmer show something of the
same pluck and zeal The more energy
and enterprise he displays, the larger
will be his reward Let whatever is
done be done well. If the young men
could find full scope for their energies
On the farm. without the hindrance
from their elders, we believe fewer of
them would seek the cities for less hon.
orable and profitable employments.
This is emphatically an age of inn
provements, and the farmer has not
been forgotten by inventors They
have done their part in producing la
bor-saring machinery and improved
tools for the farmers use. Let him
take hold and use them. Better
methods of farming have been intro
iuced; let the farmer adopt them. Bet
ter breeds of animals have been pro-
duced; let the farmer obtain them and,
in short. put forth his energies as do
vigorous men in other callings, and
then we shall not hear so much grum-
bling about the unprofitableness OF
farming. - CongregGsionalis:.
