To BEAT AN EaG.-Any child
knows how to beat an egg, which is
true so far as that any one by dint of
patience and fork can beat an egg to
q froth, but one person will take f1f-
teen minutes and have it less light
than another in five. The one will
beat fast, carrying the fork, but en-.
tangling very little air; the other will
lift the egg, as it were, and throw it
over the fork.
This is the proper way, and does the
work in half the time. Acquire the
habit uf beating eggs, or, in fact, any
thing else, from the elbow, not using
the whole arm the fatigue will be
much lessened. The use of egg-beat-
ers has made beating for cakes,
such q formidable task in our mothers
days, q very light one is ours, but for
beating just one egg a fork, even now,
is often most convenient. Even with
a beater, however, the best results are
obtained by observing certain rules.
In hot weather leave the eggs in ice
water or on ice fer some time before US
ing. 1t is not good plan, however,
to keep all your eggs on ice, beca use
they then become so thoroughly chill
ed that in boiling them you cnnot esti,
mate the time required, and should
they become frosted they are inferior
for all purposes. In heating the
whites of eggs tiny pinch of salt will
tend to facilitate the work.

CHILDREN JOINING THE CHURCH.
Under this heading The AdVonce
gives this account:
"To one of our churches this ques'
tion was recently brought In striking
way. A mother presented her daugh'
ter before the deacons as candloate
for membership. The daughter was
seven and one-half years old. She
came, not at the request of her fathel
or mother, but the mother brought her
az the result of her own urgency. Hel
mother and father had rather tried to
persuade her from taking the step

This little girl told her story to the

How to Keep Sweet Potatoes.

For the benefit of your readers. l
give you my experience, extending
over twenty years, in preserving sweet
potatoes. When q small boy l noticed
that my father, who had costly Gel
lar, never had potatoes after Christ
mas, al d that he always had to buy
his paintings from neighbor Tom Phil
lips. well remember swopping bis
cult for potatoes with the Phillips
children at school in March and April.
From this neighbor I learned how to
keep sweet potatoes.
Dig after the first signs of frost are
On the vines. Don't be in a hurry
about it. Take plenty of time rather
than worry over getting them in the
same day let them stay in the patch
all night in small piles, putting vines
over them to keep frost or heavy dew
off. Put one or two months supply in
cellar, the others to keep should be-
put up as follows:
Take time and do not be in a hurry.
Throw up foundation of dirt at least
eighteen inches, large enough to hold
twenty-five bushels or less, never
more, in one hill. On this foundation
should be spread dry pine straw at
least six inches deep. After the pota-
toes have been carefully piled on, coat
with four or five inches of dry pine
straw on this place corn stalks verti-
cally, making each stalk fit snug and
close to its neighbor-one round of
stalks being sufficient. Let the stalks
lap over apex of hill. Then carefully
cover with dirt about three inches
thick until the weather gets colder,
when an additional coating of dirt will
be necessary. AlWays leave top OF hill
free from dirt. The straw and tapping
stalk ends are sufficient protection.
An old window shutter, door or elgh-
teen inch board placed slopingly, with
slope to the north, is all the shelter
needed. The colder the winter, the
more dirt is necessary on the hills, too
much dirt will cause rot in mild wealth
er. Potatoes are more often damaged
by heat than by cold. Take down a
whole hill, as necessity requires, for
cellar or market, and 60 potatoless for
several days rather than broach your
hill in damp, foggy or rainy wealth

Never Knew Him.

A touching story is told of the child
of a we,l-known french painter. The
little girl lost her sight in infancy, ana
her blindness was supposed to be in
durable, Three years ago, however, a
famous oculist in Paris performed an
operation Oh her eyes, and restored her
sight.
Her mother had long been dead, and
her father had been her only frlena
and companion. When she was told
that her blindness could be cured, her
one thought was that she could see
him, and when the cure was complete
and the bandages were removed, she
ran to him, and, trembling, pored over
his features, shutting her eyes now
and then, and passing her fingers over
! his face as if to make sure that 1t was
he.
presence, and his every look and mo-
ton were watched by his daughter
with the keenest delight. For the first
time his constant tenderness and care
seemed real to her. If he caressed
her, or even looked upon her kindly, 1t
brought the tears to her eyes.
"To think,n she cried, holding his
hand close in hers, "that I had this IA
ther so many years and never knew
him p :, ,..,-
How many of us are like the little
blind child!
How many young men just entering
life have made no close friendships at
school or elsewhere because some bodl-
Iy defect or poverty has soured their
tempers. and made them cynical and
suspicious. It is their lot, they think,
to 90 alone through the world, to find
women shallow and men shams.
Luck is against them. They will have
nothing to do with frien Is; they, Will
fight their own way, and ask help OF
none! -
Women who know themselves to be
. plain and unattractive often feel this
morbid jealousy and bitterness; they
case themselves in pride and reserve
that keep their lives more solitary than
could any prison walls.
The ewes of these souls are shut. II
they would open them, they would
zee that the world is full of true and
helpful friends waiting to work and be
happy with them.
They would see unnumbered chances
in their own lives, however poor OF
sorrowful they may be, for healthy and
cheerful work, for hearty goodwill
and love and comradship.
And under and above and around
their ungrateful, discontenteu lives,
they would be conscious of an AL
mighty love and tenderness, holding
them as the sunshine holds the float
ing mote of dust.
The oldest and wisest of us-schol-
ars, men of business, women of the
world-go through life like the blind
child, never seeing the hand of Him
who sets the sun to light our steps,
who feeds US day by day, who makes
ready home for us hereafter.
But this blindness of the soul, what
ever men may say about it, is not be-
yond a cure. We have but to seek the
Great Physician, crying with one of
old, "Lord, that I might receive my
sight!" At His touch our dar kness
will vanish and with the new light we
shall find ourselves in new world.
Then, like the happy French child,
we shall be ready to exclaim, "To
think that had this Father so many
years and never knew Him !"

Wool FROM EWES AND WEA1H-
ERs.-While eve is bearing lamb
part of her nutrition goes to sustaining
that. Her fleece is therefore not so
heavy as that of the weather, that has
no demand and is equally well fed.
In lambing time the eve has usually
some fever which injuriously affects
the quality of the wool, by making a
weak place in that grown at this pc
riod. But in practical selling the
wool crop comparatively few buyers
can make such distinctions. They
buy low enough so that poor wool
will pass muster and leave them q
profitable commission.

AS To RENTED FARMs.-Somebody
tells deal of truth in these six SEN
tences: Never rent a farm when you
can own one. The man who rents q
farm must necessarily add much to the
premises from which he cannet derive
any benefit. If he attempts to crop a
rented farm without doing justice to
the land, he will suffer loss as well
as the owner. There are many i'm
provements of the soil from which the
owner receives the benefit, in the
course of time, at the expense of the
renter. All farms should be rented by
mutual agreement, and all conditions
plainly stipulated.

The Iron Wolf.

"I conducted two months ago." said
a clergyman, "the funeral service OF
one of my parishoners. He had been
a farmer. Forty years ago ne COM

of land, and he ended with one hum

working man, but he had laid by no
money in the bank. understood the
reason as I listened to the comments OF
his friends and neighbors."
"It was always warm, hospitable

never turned away from the door. His
sons and daughters all received the
best education which his means could
command. One is a clergyman, one g

THE ABSOLUTE NEED OF INDIvID-
UAL EFFoRT.-These are the days,
and America is the paradise, of doing
all things-or pretending to do them
by the omnipotent committee. The
links, and not the impersonal chain,
hold the anchor. True, there must be
an organization, compact, broad of
scope, wise as to methods and men.
But that is the most efficient organiZa-
ton which makes most effective use
of the individual force. The crown
and glory of all true union is for the
unit to do its best. The only way to
melt the wall of ice between the masses
and the Church is for every individu.
'al Christian to kindle fire at its base
. Our Lords example furnishes a prac.
tical lesson on the way to deal with
the masses. He always fed the hun
cry multitudes by individual servitors.
The most of his parallels and precious
words were spoken in connection
with the casual interlOcutor. If the
Christian Church observed as much
system in its evangelslic methods, in
reaching the one house and the one
person, as our shrewd politicians do in
their methods of reaching the one vo-
ter, there would not he stratum OF
society which would not soon he reach
ed by the message of the truth.
