Lords Prayer In Thirty-two Lancua

The Russians now have possession of
the Mount Of Olives, the spot where the
Lord Prayer was first uttered. The apex
of the mount is nearly 200 feet above the
hill upon which Jerusalem is built, >, 700
feet above the level of the Mediterranean
and about 3, 800 feet above the sluggish
waters of the Dead sea On this elevation,
upon the exact spot which, tradition says,
the prayer was 1rst spoken, the Carmelite
Sisters have, through the Kindness of
Nine. de la Tour d'Auvergre, who fur
nishod the necessary funds, built large
convent. The exact, or what is claimed to
be the exact, spot pressed by our Saviour's
feet on that celebrated occasion is marked
10y pure white polished marble cross and
the walls OF the convent have the prayer
inscribed upon them in 30 different Ian
guagcs. In some instances the letters
forming the prayer are engraved in mar.
BILE panels; in others they are letters Of
wood glued to backgrounds suitable to
their culors. The Rus ian portion of this
wonderful collection of inscriptions is said
to be in letters Of pure gold, each capital
stem being G4 inches long ana four filths
of an inch in width. Among the Ian
Fuages which one would hardly expect to
mad represented are the Hebrew, the Chi

japanese. The Arabian, as it had been

power is ready at all times, while with
the windmill we have to depend on the
elements before we can begin.
The uses to which electricity may be
applied on the farm is classified under
flour different headings byan Ohio Farm
Der pondent-viz: Power for oper-
Nting all kinds of farm machinery. for
lighting the fdrmhOuses, barns and out
buildings, for heating purposes and for
the operation of telephones, signals,
ALARMS, etc. The first of the items men
Itioned aoove may be divided into two
Plasses. The first power for stationary
hnachines, " the second power for NOV
hing machines and vehicles. -
In the first class the motor would
operate a hosting apparatus for hay,
STRAW, grain and feed. 1t would also
operate pump for supplying water for
drinking troughs, fountains, lawns, gar
dens, the dairy house, the home. the
Washing Of vehicles and for fire pur-
poses; also for operating thrashers,
grinders, shelters, cider presses, feed
cutters, hay presses, grindstones, shop
tools, churns, coffee mills sewing ma.
chimes, Laundry machines, horse cleaners
hnd wood saws. Uses under the second
class are more doubtful and remote than
fhe first class; hence attention is here
given only to the latter Owing to the i'll
fermittent nature of some Of the work,
ione portable motor would be all that
would be needed for an ordinary farm
Thrashing machines would only be
Plsed for a couple Of months or for
Single day on each farm. The hosting
machine for hay would be used but a
short time during the haying season.
fIhe cider press would only be used
about two months ali told in the fall;
likewise the hay press. Therefore port
able motor-that is, motor placed on
y truck-could be moved from one place
to another about the farm, and even from
farm to farm. A flexible cable is all

thongs; II strap of goatskin over his back
and wound twice around the block his
feet close together, dashed to dONcl of

flcshy portion of She slaves back and

color of the purple of the king. Them if
with one swing and one stroke of the
right arm of the master workman it sever
the head of the slave from his body and
display not nick nor crack along the edge,
and the blade may be bent round about

be accepted as II perfect weapon, sacred to

LITTLE BROWN DOG AT THE DOOR.

Early and late you watch and wait,
Little brown dog at the door,
For quick football and a boyish call
For your master to come once more,
Eager to follow, through field and hollow,
Wherever his feet may roam,
Content to stray if he leads the way.
Wherever he is, is home.
But you never hear the whistle clear,
Nor the sound Of the boyigh call,
Nor the scamper of feet all bare and fleet
Down through the shadowy hall,
Though long you wait at door and gate
For your playfcllow OF old,
With his eyes SO blue and his heart so true
And his hair like the sunshine's gold.
Tis a year and day since he went away
To II country beyond our ken,
And those who go that way, we know,
Mover come back again.
Stll carly and late you watch and wait,
Little brown dog at the door,
But the voice is still, and watch as you
will
Your master comes no more.
