1t is dangerous to he always
ready to prove ones self unblame'
worthy or free from error. AS Schil-
Ter says, "To be free from blame is to
be of the lowest or highest grade, fol
only imbecility or greatness leads to
it," No one is anxious to claim i'm.
becility for himself, and no one one
need suppose that the world is willing
to coDcede him to be altogether great
and invariably right. 1T is much
easier, and more satisfying to ones
self, to say, when occasion requires,
II am wrong" than to be inventine
demonstrations of ones invariable
rightness, or at least entire excusable
ness. One cannot be always entirely
great, one does not want ever to be
imbecile; but by confessing his blame
worthiness and pTofiting by his error
one does move farther from imbecility
and nearer to true greatness, than Il
be had persisted in proving himself
always too great to fail or to fall.

The Nationall Christian Citizenship
League was organized in Chicago,
in 1894. 1t already has auxiliaries in
various states and territories, and ex-
lists for the following purposes, viz:
l. To reveal Jesus Christ as the Sa-
viour of the state and nation as we'll
as of the individual.
2. TO make Christian principles
operative in public affairs.
3. To unite the followers of Christ
in consistent, harmonious and aggres-
sive action for these purposes.
In futheranee of this three-fold OBJ
ject we invoke the special aid Of the
Pulpit, on Sunday, June 80, just pre-
ceding the fourth of July.
That day will be a most appropriate
and opportune time for emphasizing
the fact that "Righteousness exalteth
a nation, and sin is a reproach to any
people," and for stimulating the Chris
tian Citizenship of our land to more
united and active demand for public
purity.
We ask for q hundred thousand SER
mons on CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP on
that day, and suggest that extracts
Cherefrom be printed in the public
press, and otherwise given the widest
possible circulation.
The enemies of Christ are united
and aggressive. The people of God
must be aroused from their apathy
and led to stand for the supreme right
of Christ to rule in everything.
This League has prepared helpful
and suggestive literature on these
lines which will be sent free to Minis
ters on application. Enclose postage.
We cordially invite correspondence
from all Pastors and others interested
and hope that there may be a grand
limited effort in the interest of Chris
titan Citizenship.

We see not in this life the end of hui
man actions-their influence never
dies. In ever widening circles it
reaches beyond the grave. Death re-
moves us from this to an eternal world.
Time determines what shall be our
condition in that world. Every morn
ing when we go forth we lay the
moulding hand at our destiny, and
every evening when we have done, we
have left deathless impress upon our
character. We touch not wire but
vibrates in eternity-not voice but re-
ports at the throne of God. Let youth
especially think of these things, and
let every one remember that in the
world where character is in its forma-
ton state, it is serious thing to think,
to speak, to act.-The Mentor.

4 Fellows Mother.

"A fellows mother" said Fred the wise.
With his rosy cheeks and his merry eyes,
Knows what TO do If fellow gets hurt
BY thump, or bruise, or fall in the DIRT.
A fellows mother has bags and strings,
Rags and buttons, and lots of things;
No matter how busy she is she'll stop
To see how we'll you can spin your top.
"She does not care-not much, | mean
If q fellows face is not always clean;
And il your trousers are torn at the knee,
She can put in patch that you'd never See.
A fellows mother is never mad,
And only sorry, II you're bad:
And will tell you this, if you're only true,
She'll always forgive you, whate'er you do.
I'm sure of this" said Fred the wise.
With manly look in bis laughing eyes,
I'll mind my mother, quick, every day:
A fellows baby that don't obey.

Cologne, March GA terrible ex-
plosion Of dynamite took place yes
terday evening at Saamouth, In the
District of Dusseldorf. The cargo OF
the ship Elizabeth. consisting Of 20.-
600 kilos of dynamite, vas being load
ed when the explosion occurred, kill
ing a number of people and doing .
terrible amount Of damage. The ex-
act number Of persons killed Is not
yet known. Another vessel which
was alongside the Elizabeth caught
fire and was burned. The force of the
explosion was felt for miles and was
at first believed TO have been the re-
suit OF an earthquake. Several houses
collapsed at Keeken and other vii
lagos and windows were shattered
within n wide urea. At Cleves, five
miles from the scene Of the explosion,
doors were torn off and window
frames were smashed.
The bodies OF five victims Of the
explosion have already been COY
cred, and six persons believed to
have been killed are still missing.
The force of the explosion was -
great that three vessels at Lobith,
the last Dutch village on the Rhine,
were sunk. Two hundred and twen-
ty ons Of the explosive was taken In
six boats from Lobith to Salmouth
last January en- route to Antwerp,
whence 1t was to have been shipped
to Australia. Owing to the Ice block
ade In the river the dynamite was
landed at Salmouth where 1t was
stored awaiting the reopening OF
navigation. In the meantime the
Elizabeth had been chartered to take
the dynamite forward and the cargo
was being stored yesterday when
! part of 1t exploded. The cause OF the
explosion Is unknown, as every person
on board of the Elizabeth wa killed.

ing urpose on the kitchen stove, for
1t Is only a few that have conveniences
OF doing this important detail of farm
work. SKINNED milk when separated
on the farm is of superior quality over
that of the mixed mess brought to the
farm by the milk haulers.
The latter in summer time is gener-
ally brought to the farm in such a soul
condition that it is unfit for feeding
purposes.
The creamery building on this gath
cred plan need not be Sc large as the
separator plan would require. A good
two-horse sweep power al we'll take
The place OF an engine, and as for steam
and hot water for washing and heating
get one of those common farm DO Tiers
used for cooking feed. This would
greatly lessen the expense of running
the factory, and the cost of making
butter would also be considerably les
sened, since n man can handle as
much butter with the gathered cream
system as two with the separator.
Creameries that employ six or eight
teams could gather the cream with less
han half that number, as il would only
necessitate n trip over the road each
lay instead of two as at present. The
:ream gathering plan would cover a
much larger territory than the separa-
tor plan, thus lessening the number Of
sreameries. That this system would
bear great improvement over the pres.
mt way seems certain. 1t has invari-
oily been the case. with creameries
started here in the Dakotas to close up
for want of patronage, after having
been in operation only a short time.
Where this prevails both patron and
proprietor are discouraged with the
business and the latter finds it a serious
question as to what to do with the
creamery outfit. While on the other
,and should the gathered cream factory
meet the same fate as that of the sep
arator plan, the question of trying to
dispose of the creamery outfit would
prove an easy one. The patrons who
have been brought to realize by expert
ence the value of a separator on the
farm would sooner buy it, rather than
part with it.
The writer was last summer employed
tor a time in a creamery in Moody Co.
that vas run on the separator plan.
There 1T was learned by actual figures
that it cost more to get the milk to the
factory, than it did to make the butter,
and have it shipped ana sold in New
York.

Starting q Creamery.

From the Dakota Farmer,
From all sources comes. assurance
hat creameries and dairy work are
attracting very much more attention
in the two Dakotas than they eve did
before. No doubt that dozens of
creameries will be started in these two
states right now. In a recent issue of
the Brookings Press was an article from
the pen Of one S. G. Maryland, who in
speaking of creameries says, LET us
build a creamery on the cooperative
plan-in union there is strength"
That's good, and the writer wishes to
add, Let's do it" but not on the sep
arator plan as Mr.. M. is understood to
favor, for the good old cream gathering
system is much more preferable. The
separator system is all right and is gen.
orally adopted in almost every cream
cry, but this plan would hardly do for
us where the country is thinly settled,
farmers being far and few. 1t win be
three or four years before the farmers
as a whole will begin to realize that
they are in the dairy business in arm
est. Hence it is desired to warn all
parties intending putting up a cream
cry to go slow about it. Do not put
up a we'll equipped and first-class
creamery at the start, and do not put
up one at all without being assured of
a good and continued patronage. Build
a creamery on the cooperative plan,
and have it operated on the cream
gathering system, Let the creamery
be organized and managed just the
same as at present, only, instead of
taking the milk to the factory to be
separated, let each patron have a baby
hand separator, and send only the
ere .m Instead of going to the expense
Of procuring a separator of creamery
size, milk watts, milk heater. engine and
bo''er, and all other things necessary
an d factory operated on the separator
plan, let this capital be expended in
the purchase of baby separators for the
patrons. By buying in lots of a dozen
or more. they can be had at a very
good discount. Each patron in order
to secure a separator, is obliged to
keep a certain number of cows, or fur
nish a specified quantity of cream, thus
assuring the factory of good and con-
tinued patronage.
The advantages of a separator on the
farm are many. To be able to feed the
skim milk with the animal heat still ia
it, TO calves and pigs, gives advantages
which must be experienced to be fully
appreciated. And not least among
these is removing the burden from the
