The reading lessons were from the old Testament, and had their bearing upon the Jewish nation. MT. J. A. VanHoose commented very instructively upon a prophecy in regard to the Jews. He said the prophecy was made 1500 years before Christ, and it had proven true in every particular. If it's fulfiillment was mere accident it was one of the most wonderful things ever known. The Jewish nation had embraced some of the greatest men the world ever knew Christ Himself was of that race. The prophecy had predicted that if the Jews did certain things that such and such a thing would befall them. It was prophesied that Pal estine, land flowing with milk and honey, would become dry as the dust of the desert and the earth would be of iron and the heavens of brass. This was true of Palestine of today. The fierce eastern sun beats down upon it's barren soil It was prophesied that the Jews as a nation would be conquered by more powerful nation. This came to pass, for the Romans overrun Palestine and took Jerusalem after the Jews had gath cred there for refuge. In this Seige over 100000 Jews perished. It was prophe- sled that the Jews, who had been as the sands of the sea shore, should become few in numbers. There were now only about 6,000,00 Jews in the world. If they had increased in the same propor- ton with other people they would over run the earth. The prophecy .Sald the Jews should be persecuted. Such had been the case. They have been oppressed by other nations as no other people have been oppressed. The injustice done them has been grievous and great In no country have they found a safe refuge, except in this land of the free. It was said in the prophecy that the Jews should be peculiar people. This Is true to wonderful degree. In all their wander ings they have preserved their national ity. They are like the gulf stream, which maintains the purity of its water through thousands of miles of salt water. You can stand in the crowded inarts of any city and tell the Jew as he passes by. This is not true of any other race. The blue-eyed, fair-haired Saxon can be dis tinguished at home from the dark-eyed, black-haired Latin, but in Mexico and other countries they lose their national type in co-mingling with the natives.
 The prophecies of the Old Testament were distinguished by justice-the pre- vailing feature of the new dispensation is mercy. The Jews now live under the new dspensation. There is great fu- ture before them. They have produced a Disraeli and other great men, They are prominent in statesmanship, in music, in art, in literature. in finance.

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Handle the fruit intended for long
keeping as tenderly as possible, and no
more than is strictly necessary. Pick
ing into bushel baskets will make the
handling easier.
One advantage in manuring the
orchard late in the fall is that the
manure will begin it's work, and early
next spring, just when the trees will
most need it, it will be there.
In packing apples for market un-
usually large, fine apples should be kept
separate, and form an extra fine quality
to sell at fancy prices. preserving uni
formity in size as much as possible.
The object of pruning a vine is to
concentrate the growth and productive
capacity of the plant upon the fruiting
of comparatively few buds, and not
spread it over great length of vine and
numerous buds.
When the ground is frozen an inch or
two deep is the best time for putting
mulch on the strawberry bed. 1t is not
necessary, nor even desirable, to cover
the leaves completely. but to cover the
ground around and among the plants

each end forged fiat and fitted with
sharp hook, having play in a three
quarter-inch opening, is given the neccs-
sary obliquity by means of a suitable
sliding binding strap held together by
a bolt, which can be frightened by a
thumbscrew, and attached to ring
into which the hook of the tackle is in
serted. A guiding line is made fast
to one end of the bar when required.
Hammocl1s are to be utilized for trans
portation along decks from which the
sick or wounded are to be lowered. The
hammock, unlashed and spread on the
deck, contains mattress upon which
the wounded man is laid. The blanket
spread over him is secured by three or
four lashings. Instructions will be
given the stewards and their assistants
in lifting and placing the sick and
wounded men SO as to give them as little
suffering in the transportation as pos
sible.
To place the sick or wounded man in
the hammock, two stretcher bearers
take positions one and two, respective
ly;NO. 1, standing astride the patients
chest, with toes close to the armpits,
stoops and locks his hands under the
shoulder blades, and the patient, should
his arms be uninjured, clasps No.
around the neck. No. 2, with his right
foot between the knees and his left
alongside the hips of the man, bends
his right knee and takes hold of the legs
at the bend of the knees. At the sig
nails, ready" lift" from No. 1, they
raise the body in unison, and, keeping
step, No. counting one, two; one two,
etc., they move forward and deposit the
wounded person on the hammock.
After the lashing is complete, the man
is temporarily put aside until some per-
son or persons detailed for the purpose,
such as the two divisional aids to
wounded, can transport him by drag
ging the hammock along the deck to
the hatch, where one of the stretcher
bars is rugged. This is effected most
readily by one person at each end, the
hammock being moved longitudinally.
Arriving at the hatch, the bearers snap
the safety hooks at the ends of the bar
into the hammock rings and lower. The
angle at which this is done, depending
on the size of the hatchway, should
have been previously fixed by loosen
ing the thumbscrew and shifting the
point of attachment to the tackle nearer
the head end of the bar. When the
hammock is released the stretcher bar
is hoisted, and is ready for another
patient-laden hammock.

FARM AND GARDEN.
BUILDING A CREAMERY.

a Few Suggestions Concerning Arrange
ment of the Machinery.
Since the creamery question is being
agitated perhaps a few pointers on the
building and the arrangement of the
machinery may not be amiss.
The first move should be to find a
suitable location. At first thought this
might seem to be an easy matter. The
site is very important, however. 1t
should have pure air and sunshine
natures best and cheapest disinfectants
and be free from any surroundings
that would be likely to taint the atmcs-
phere. Put it far enough from stables,
shops, and from the railroad, that the
SCOT may not be a nuisance.
Good, pure water is Indispensable, just
as necessary as pure air. No one can
make good butter without it. Few peo-
pie are careful enough about the source
of their water supply. With the sur
rounding surface saturated with i'm
purities, it cannot be otherwise than
that part of it finds its way into the
well, unless the greatest precaution is
