The people of Kansas are thoroughly
aroused, and are laying out millions of
acres in trees, and it is even proposed
that the State government itself shall
step in and begin the tree planting. As
a consequence, about the time the we'll
wooded State of Michigan is treelese,
the prairie State OF Kansas will be boast
ing of It's forests. Besides these two
Michigan and Pennsylvania have great
ly interested themselves in forestry mat
ters. Most of the other States have
framed one or more laws on the subject,
but with these exceptions, they have done
little for forestry.

BOILED ONIONS After taking off the

a couple Of hours, or longer if you like
them mild; let them be cooked in boiling
water, which should be pretty strongly
sailed, drain off the water as soon as they
are almost done, then let them simmer in
milk until quite tender; add good bit OF
butter, pepper and salt.

To SCALE FISH EAs1LY.-Have ready
a large pan Of boiling water. Stick a
"fesh fork" through the head of the fish,
immerse quickly three times in the scald-
ing water. Not only the scales, but the
skin will slip off easily, and a tedious
task, if done the old way, becomes a very
easy and simple one.

Even the small affairs of home life
bring their temptations, trivial in
seeming, but often mighty,a and show
ing, according as they are yielded to
on resisted, the stuff of which our
characters are formed. Here is a
little confession taken from the lips
of a schoolgirl, and set down in her
own words:
"Tve begun to find such little
mean streak1 in myself that Pm
quite frightened. Guess what was
tempted to do the other day! ] was
washing the dishes for mamma, and
when l got to the tins and kettles l
was discouraged. They did look so
greasy and black, and Tve always
been little vain Of my hands.
"'Pm going to Kittie Merrill's
party tonight thought, 'and l
want to keep my hands nice for that.
I'll leave these for mamma it won't
make any difference with her hands,
because she can't keep them nice
anyway
"Then something seemed to say
to me, oh, you little coward ! Oh
you little sneak! To be willing to
have whittier hands than your mother!
aren't you ashamed %
81 was ashamed, and l washed the
kettles pretty humbly, l can tell you
l felt as if they weren't half as black
as F.! Since then rve watched all
my thoughts, for fear ] shall grow SC
wicked mamma won't own me. I've
learned pretty thoroughly what the
minister means when he talks about
the little foxes that spoil the grapes
Of a fine character"

God Spared Not His Son.

How great is this love that valued
our Salvation above the life of an only
son, and shed a blood more valuable
than the whole creation to preserve
ours, which could not be equivalent
to the price of it; and put him into
a posture of an enemy to his son to
make us his friends! If the thunders
of the law had been shot upon US,
what strength had we to bear them :?
What merit to remove them? How
great is the love of the Redeemer, to
be willing not to be spared for time,
rather than millions of men and wo-
men should fail of being spared for
ever! at was for our transgressions
he was wounded, for our iniquities
he was buried, and the chastisement
of our peace was upon him." In
every wound that God gave him he
minded the full punishment of our
sin, in the person of our Savior,
that those whom he represented
might go free. He spared him not,
abated not a mite Of what justice
might demand, that SO his people
might have a full redemption. He
spared not his own son, but delivered
him up for us all. He did not spare
him in regard of the strength of JUS
tice, wherewith he punished him.
What could more enhance the love of
God than the terrors inflicted on
Christ? And what could more en-
nance the love of Christ than that he
endured not only bodily death, but
a wrathful death in his soul for us ?
Let, then, this love engage every
man to come to God through Christ.
How should it ravish us into an
humble compliance with him, and
subsection to him? If he hath bruised
him for us, he will not bruise us il
we come to him. The blood shed by
the orders of God is able to eXpiate q
world of sins. God hath spent his
wrath upon him, and hath none fol
those who accept of him.-Stephen
Churnack.

Six Bible Names.

Say these names over many times,
until you can remember them, and
the order in which they are given:
Adam, Enoch, Abraham, Solomon,
Christ, John. Repeat them again,
and then learn the following bit of
table chronology:
/. From the time Adam was Gre
ated until the time Enoch was trans
lated, was thousand years.
3. From the time Enoch was trans
lated until the time Abraham was
born, was thousand years.
.. From the time Abraham was
born until the time Solomon dedicat'
ed the temple, was thousand years
3. From the time Solomon dedi.
Gated the temple until the.time Christ
was born, was thousand years.
5. From the time Christ was borr
until John died, was a hundred
years.

The Bible.

Let us value the Bible as the best
book, because it is book for the soul;
1t discovers our souls to us as a glass,
and is "discoverer of the thoughts
and intents of the heart" 1t discov-
ers to our souls the way that leads to
their present and future happiness.
In the scriptures we think we have
eternal life-life for the soul. 1t is
the excellency of the word of God
that it "converteth the soul, it en-
lightens the mind, it rejoiceth the
heart;" and for this we should value
it because it makes the soul wise un-
to salvation, and furnishes it for ev-
cry thing that is good. Mathew
Henry.

When the heart is full Of pleasure,
And the soul is full OF peace,
We may taste life's sweetest treasure,
And may bid all sorrow cease.
When our lives are full Of gladncss,
And our minds are full of love,
Grief seems like kind of madness,
That our heart could never move.
But how quicka change comes DER us,
When we meet real grief?
How life's beauties fade before us,
AS we vainly seek relief
How our hearts fill up with sadness,
And our souls are filled with woe,
When our minds are full OF madness
And our reason totters 80!
See the widow, in her sorrow,
When she finds herself alone,
While today but paints tomorrow
Resping grief whore Joy was sown.
See the orphan, lone aud dreary,
None to comfort or improve,
Dragging out life most weary,
With no hope of JOY or love.
We should strive to give some pleasure
To each sadly stricken one,
While our happiness we treasure
And ourjoy remains our own.
We should strive to make some gladness
For these lonesome ones of grief,
Hoping thus to cheer their sadness,
And to give their heart relief.

Life is Made Nobler.

You have read Longfellow's pop
ular psalm of Life?" Yes? Very
good. Then you recollect the stanza
which reads:
mot enjoyment and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act that each tomorrow,
Finds us further than today"
DO you know what these lines
mean? Not exactly, eh? Then
will tell you. The first two lines
teach us that the end for which we
were born is not either to shave a
good time" or to sit with long faces,
brooding over our sorrows. The last
two mean that we ought to put such
deeds Of kindness, love, duty and
self-contrOl into our lives each
to-day" as will cause US to be nobler,
better, nearer to God and heaven each
tomorrow" This is very beauti-
full sentiment.
More than this, it states a very SOL
emn duty. What then, let us ask,
are we putting into our lives "today?"
Love, diligence and self-denial, or
hate, idleness and self-will? If the
latter, then we are going backward;
we are further from goodness, noble
ness and God than we We're yester-
day, and tomorrow will find US
more ignoble still" But if the for
mer, then we, as the poet says, are
further today than we were yester-
day on the road to moral beauty and
to the dear God who loves us. BY
keeping thus, we shall at last reach
that glad tomorrow which will be
our first day ofeverlasting bliss. Our
Youth.

Glorifed Bodies Of the Righteous.

In some parts Of the wine district
of France the church bells are tolled
when there is likely to be frost
severe enough to hurt the vines. The
inhabitants at once hurry out of
their houses and place quantities of
tar between the rows of vines. Then
the signal is given to light the tar,
and in a few minutes q dense cloud
of smoke arises which completely
protects the vines from the frost.

Gods Word.

suppose that q man, while walking
through forest, wherein is no hui
man habjtation, all at once strikes
his foot against an obstruction,
which, when he picks up and exam
ines, proves to be a wheel of glitter
ing gold, with an axle and two rows
of cogs; and, upon further examina-
ton, it shows that it belongs to some
fine machine which has, perhaps,
other pieces of fine art. He gives no.
tice to his neighbors, and to all the
scientists and historians, that he is in
possession of such prize, butno one,
nor all of them, can account for it.
So the wheel is laid away in some
museum.
In one hundred years, and one
thousand miles from that place, an
other man, in another dense forest,
finds similar wheel, and all the wise
men spend their judgement upon it,
but fail to account for it. At the
same time the finder knows nothing
Of the existence of the wheel found
one hundred years before.
Suppose this strange "finding" con
tinue for two thousand years, and but
one wheel being found each century
and that each man possessing hi
wheel knows nothing of any similar
wheel in the world. But all at once
the finding of these wonderful wheels
is ascertained, and the news begin!
to be carried from State to State, anC
from continent to continent; anC
there is set a time, and appointed ;

the worlds curiosities are required
and upon the arrival of these strang
wheels, they are put into the hand
Of a few scientific men, and behold
they discover that the wheels all be
long to the same original machine
and, by a little study and application
they put them together, and the.
form one perfect combination.
Now, would the most ignorant sa.
that nature had formed those wheels
And if so, would they not marve
that "nature" had not produced tw

nature produces its like, why all thes

bears its own date, being one hun

them? But the scientist who exam
ned the first wheel would declar
that such a wonder could not hav
