the consequent chcapness in the matter

Knives and Forks Being Unknown, the
Fingers Do Valiant Duty
Holy Land and the Bible: A very large
circular :tray of timed copper, placed
on coarse wooden stool about a foot
high, served as table. In the center of
this stool another big tray, with a noun
tain of pilaff. composed of rice boiled and
buttered, ith ANAL pieces of meat
strewn through and upon it. This was
the chief dish, though there we're other
smaller dishes. both meat and vegetable.
Ten persons sat around.t the table. or rath-
knees drawn up close to their bodies.
Each had before him plate of timed
copper and a wooden spoon, which some
used without the plate. Most, however,
preferred to use the fingers Of the lefI
hand, several dipping their hands togeth
er into the dish, as did the disciples at
the last supper.
As soon as any one had finished he rose
and went into another room, to have wa
ter poured over bis hands to wash them.
and the vacant place at the table was in
stantly filled by a newcomer. The bread,
/ may say. was laid on the mat under the
tray. SO as to be easily reached; and a jar
Of water. the only beverage used during
the meal, stood within reach. Besides
rice. stews OF beans or cracked wheat,
with thick soup or sauce poured over
them in the great central bowl. are also
in fashion. Spoons, though sometimes
provided, are often wanting-pieces Of
thin bread. doubled, serving instead.
Knives and forks are unknown. and as
there is no special dining room. there is
no furniture suited for one. Hence tables
and chairs are never seen. The meat be-
ing always cut up into small peices, there
is no need for the knife. and chickens
can easily be torn asunder with the hands.
So far. indeed, are orientals from think
ing it strange to dip their fingers into the
common dish, that it is a special act OF
politeness to grope in 1t for the visitor
and lay nice morsels for him or even to
insist on putting them into his mouth.

singing More About Jesus and Take My

by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Dorsey.
Mrs. Lewis read the third chapter OF
Colossians, and spoke from the third
verse. Mrs. Lewis said that we must live
our lives for Christ. and the very best
that we can always. That while Christ
accepts the smallest services from begin

be satisfied with these small efforts after

portunities. If we do reach to the ideal
we set for ourselves today. we must then
have a. still higher one for tomorrow. and
by so doing will make the upward pro-

to expect from us. Living in this wav,
reacning forward in His service, will He
not freely give us all things for our en-
ouragement and reward?

Paul, that in him dwelt no good thing.

He was never taken into court, nor was

Dr.. J. W. Hanson's Sermon Based on
the Golden Rule
The Last Of the nusical Series at St Paul's s
Episcopal church-riass In Place Of
Sermon-The Y. w. CA.

At the First Universalist church DR.. J.
W. Harrison took for his subject the Col
den Rule. In opening his discourse he
quoted from many ancient writer's pre-
vious to Christ, showing the different
thought expressed by each, and stated
that in all OF his investigation he had
failed to find the same thought expresses
by any writer previous to Christ, and
that while all other forms of the golden
rule were of negative OF limited form,
that of Christ was positive one and a
universal rule applicable to all nations
and all peoples.
He then made an application of it, dis
eliminating between self-love and all
other loves, showing. too. that all genu-
inc love or philanthropy starts in the in
dividuaIs love for himself. In conclusion
he said: "God himself always does as
be would have his children do, and
Christ always acted upon that rule. This
will be the rule in heaven, and earth will
approach heaven only as it approaches
this rule"
At the close OF the sermon communion
service was observed. the pastor, Rev. A.
A. Rice and Dr.. Hanson presiding.

Fish Farming.

The raising of fish for food is becom-
ing profitable industry. 1t is most
profitable when there is low-lying land
which is Of little use for farming pur-
poses. An embankment thrown up
around the edge of a bit of level land
traversed by streams will furnish the
necessary plant. 1t is the usual prac-
tice to have three or four different
ponds with appropriate shut-offs be-
tween. AS the fish grow, they may be
changed from one pond to another. The
feeding of fish has been made study,
and it is found that artificially fed fish
have better flavor than those that
shift for themselves and forage on
whatever comes in their way. Care is
taken to remove Objectionable material
which would cause deterioration Of
flavor. One Of the best foods is said to
be the fresh-water shrimp. This Great
ure multiplies rapidly, and soon fur
nishes an abundant diet for the finny
stock. An advantage in fish-raising is
that the best products can be furnished
to the markets at any time of year, as
the farmer would see to it that only
fish of large size were caugh out Of
season.

lies wide awake in the darkness. AT
the other end of the ward the clock Is
ticking, but it's face is hidden in the
gloom, and how is he to tell how the
hours are passing? Looking northward
through a high window just beside his
cot he finds his question answered. He
sees there the Great Bear, commonly
known in part as the Dipper, climbing
upward to it's highest perch in the
heavens. Why not convert the two up
permost stars of yonder dipper into the
hands of a clock? 1t is 8 o'clock, and
they are hanging in a nearly horizon
tai position pointing almost due east
to the north star, and elevated only a
little more than the star from the hori-
ION. Where will they be at IL, at 2, at
A, or at any hour when the weary, rest
less patient wants to know the time!
It is a question to be wrought out
automatically, or rather diagram
atically. Before proceeding with
the construction of the celes-
tial dial, however, 1t will be
best to say a few words about
the interior mechanism Of the clock for
the instruction of the unlearned. Why
does the dipper always describe circle
around the north star, never sinking
below the horizon? Look at the follow
ing picture of the earth, the north star
and the dipper, and the subject will be
perfectly plain. Were the spec
tators located at the North
Pole the north star would be
directly overhead. Were the spectator
at the equator, it would be seen at the
horizon. When seen from these lati-
tudes it follows that 1t is as we see
it on any starry night. The dipper Is
so near the unchanging north star that
in these ATTITUDES it never rises or sets
like respectable stars, but keeps up It's
perpetual dance around it. Further
south it rises and sets, for
the north star sinks and the
dipper sinks with 1t, but

in perpetual masquerade, in full view.
Now for the celestial clock, whose
machinery was put in motion at the be-
ginning Of time. 1t will not have two
hands, certainly, for 1t will be able to
tell the hours and minutes, If not the
