Flowers for "Baby."

The florists were all busy Christmas
eve putting up table sets and bouton-
nieres for Christmas deliveries. Into
one of the biggest and busiest little
ragged girl, with pinched cheeks and
big, soulful eyes, came timidly.
WE'LL" said the clerk, who was ty-
ing up gorgeous wreath.
Please, sir, can / get two white
roses and yellow one, with a little
green, for these?' and she dropped
three silver dimes on the counter.
Yes,n was the gruff reply. She
watched the nimble fingers of the clerk
as he mixed her three pretty specimens.
I" l want them for baby" she VEN
tured to explain.
" What does baby want of flowers?n
Nothing; she's dead,' and the little
face went down with tears in the big,
dark eyes.

"Under His Wing"

Under his wings shalt thou trust! +"
Not shalt thou see!" If little Gag
let wanted to see for itself what was
going on, and thought it could take care
of itself for little, and hoped from
under the shadow of the wings, it would
neither be safe nor warm. The sharp
wind would chill it and the cruel hand
might seize it then. So you are to trust,
rest quietly and peacefully under his
wings" stay there, and not be peeping
out and wondering whether God really
is taking care of you. You may be al,
ways safe and happy there. Safe, for
Gin the shadow Of thy wings will ]
make my refuge" Happy, for Gin the
shadow of thy wings will l rejoice
Remember, too, that it is a command as
well as promise; it is what you are to-
day, all day long. " Under his wings shalt
thou trust! Miss +. r. Hauergal.

Temperance.
The Social Glass.

And now can we not say one word
about offering, in q social way, the
glass to young men? There are many
to whom the bar-room is no temptation
because of its coarseness, but there is
in their blood a morbid craving for slim
ulants. The glass of Intoxicating drink
has charm in the warm, bright room,
where company and laughter drive back
reflection, that it could not have alone,
or in bad company. Ladies, wives,
mothers, sistersl You suffer most
when the demon intemperance has been
aroused. Will you, in thoughtlessness,
tempt any to commence the way of
shame? 1t may be only one in hun
dred to whom the glass proves the open
ing wedge, but will you risk that?
There may be no harm in glass of
wine, there may be no danger in an oc-
casional glass of beer. There is, no
doubt, temperate use of it that leaves
hundreds none the worse for it. But
that is not the question. eff meat
make my brother to offend, will eat
no meat while the world standeth, lest
l make my brother to Offend" Do not
mar these pleasant days by making the
path of sin more dangerous and at
tractive to the young men to whom
your house is welcome substitute for
home. Whatever your own views may
be in the matter, this you can resolve,
that no one will say of you that the first
wrong step was taken at your house,
when, for the first time, the charm of
wine and drink was made familiar to
those gathered at your board. The life
in America is so active, restless and
one-sided; the hurry after the one
thing-money-is so absorbing, that in
temperance is sin more common than
it would be likely to be in less stirring
land. Then there are so many born
wanting in will-power, because their
parents have destroyed it by genera
tons of self-indulgence, that there is
no knowing when the passion may be
aroused, and a useful, earnest life,
blighted by the qualification of an APP
petite, end in destruction. Even those
who may choose to run the risk them
selves should think and pray ere they
recklessly expose those in whom, as
friends, they should have an interest.
The risk is too great, the danger too
near, to permit of any tampering with
it. For the sake of your own peace,
beware Christian Hour.

What is the Best Corn.
PrRirie Farmer

This is a question of very great impor-
lance to the whole country, not only to
farmers who grow corn, but to the whole
commercial interest which depends so
largely upon this, the greatest product of
the United States. IN the tables on page
1913 are given the tests applied TO a large
number of exhibits of twenty pounds
each, from different farms, localities and
States in the corn belt Barely space
could be spared for the extended figures
and notes concerning the prize-taking
lots among the Dent corns and half a
dozen other good specimens. 1t was only
practicable for the examining committee
to take into account the points and cir
cumstances before them. Back of these
are sundry other considerations that
could not be shown or examined IN an ex-
hibit of this kind, such as the soil. its
preparation fertilizers If used, the meth
DDS of culture. distance of rows. special
effects of unusual weather. drainage, the
yield per acre of grain AID slower, nutri-
tive or feeding value of the corn, etc, all
of more or less influence and Importance
in deciding upon the best corn for any
one locality, and for different localities.
The many notes and particulars We have
received fro N the growers of tbs corn
VIII be interesting on several OF these
points, and we shall give, from time to
time, as space allows, some of the more
important of these particulars that may
throw further light upon the subject, and
be of important practical use to corn
growers
Long and large ears have in majority
of exhibits been leading point, cons ider-
ed in the award of prizes. Are they any
guide, especially if the number of ears
on an acre be not taken into the reckon
ing: What Is the best for general cult
ure, yellow, white or mixed dent! One
point was established By the committee,
so far as the specimens before them
were concerned, by an iufallible test, viz;
the percentage of cob to ear Each was
carefully weighed on accurate scales turn
ing TO a small fraction of an ounce. Ex-
hibit COL for example, showed only Is
per cent of cob, and this was almost APP
preached by numbers % and us. With
IS per cent of cob, seventy pounds of
ears would yield very nearly sixty-one
pounds of shelled corn (siIty and nine
tenths pounds. On the contrary. lot 923,
