of Heaven cost nothing. Heaven pays
nothing for it's music. 1t is all free.
There is nothing to he paid at that
door for entrances; but the condition
of getting into Heaven is our bringing
our divine Benjamin along with us.
Do you notice how often dying people
call upon Jesus? 1t is the usual prayer
offered-the prayer offered more than
all the other prayers put together
Lord Jesus, receive my spirit" One
Of our congregation, when asking in
the closing moments of his life: do
You now us?' said, so, yes, I know
you. God bless you. Good-by. Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit" and he was
gone. o, yes, in the closing moments
of our life We must have n Christ
to call upon. If Jacobs sons had
gone up toward Egypt, and had
gone with the very finest e~quipage,
and had not taken benjamin along
with them, and to the question they
should have been oblire | to answer:
"Sir, we didn't bring him, rs father
could not let him go; we didn't want
to be bothered with him. a voice from
within would have said: $50 away
from us. You shall not have any OF
this supply. You shall not see my face
because your brother is not with you"
And if we come up toward the door of
Heaven ut last, though we come from
all luxuriance AMI brilliancy of sur
r~cundings, and knock for admittance
and it is found that Christ is not with
IA, the police of Heaven will beat us
back from the bread house. saying:
Depart, l never knew you"
My friends, you see it is either Christ
Dr. famine If there were two banquets
spread, and to one of them, only, you
might go, you might stand and think
for a good while as to which invitation
you had better accept; but here it is
teasting or starvation. If there were
two mansions offered, and you might
have only one, you might think for a
'ong while, saying: Perhaps Ihad bet
ter accept this gift, and perhaps 1
lad better accept that gift" but
here 1t is n choice between palaces of
light and novels of despair. If 1t were
4 choice between o~ratorios, you might
say, II prefer the Creation" or l pre-
fer the Mess 'ah.'" But here it is a
choice between eternal harmony and
everlasting discord. o, will you live
or die? Will you sail into the harbor
Or drive on the rocks? VIII you start
Tor the Egyptian corncrib, or will you
perish amid the empty barns of the
Ca%naanitish famine?

SAVE OLD FLANNELs.-Mrs. NJ. d.
Lamb writes Orange Judd Farmer 1t
is common practice to destroy old
cast off fiannels, or tear them into car
pet rags. Don't do it! Have a bask-
ct for storing them after they are wash

any one of the family can find it and
you can place your hand on it in the
dark. Then when q child wakes in
the night with sore throat or q
croupy cough, you can get and quick
Iy heat flannel around the lamp
chimney, and after greasing the affiict.
ed parts with ointment or oil, apply
the flannel piping hot. This will quiet
pain and give almost instant relief. II
you were obliged to get up and build
fire To heat bran sacks or other appli-
ances, you would be more than apt to
neglect it until too late and cause much
suffering to yourself and child. If the
worn and feeble mother would heat d
large flannel and lay it on her tired
side, or any part of her body where
there are aches and pains, she would
be very agreeably relieved and save
herself much suffering if the flannel
could be secured in moment. In
some cases of sick and nervous head:
aches, relief may be obtained by ap.
plying hot fannels to the stomach and
head, especially if the patient is lack
ing in vitality. Try it, feeble mothers,
and you will never consider flannel
garment valueless even if worn past
usefulness as garment.

PROPER POSITION For SLEEP
There are several theories of the
proper position in sleep. The one
most commonly favored is that one
should sleep on the right side, as di-
gestion goes on in this position most
favorably. Other authorities say that
one should always lie on the back, but
there are excellent reasons why this is
not wise. The weight of the stomach
and its contents rests upon the spine,
which often affects the nerves. Some
severe cases of insomnia have been
cured by the habit of sleeping on the
face. This is easy to do, and is the
most comfortable position if one dis
penses with the pillow. One young
man who had exhausted all the skill OF
the doctors, fell into the habit of lying
on his face, with his right arm under
his head, which was turned slightly to
one side. By this change natural rest
soon came to him, and he entirely re-
covered.

How TO DRY WET SHoEs.-The aver
age woman considers her boots spoiled
when once they are wet, and usually
they are stiff, uncomfortable and shape
less. If they are new, and her purse is
limited, she can't throw them aside,
and consequently suffers tortures, both
to her pride and to her feet. But with
a little care she may prevent much of
the discomfort. Remove the wet shoes
as soon as possible, wipe off all the
mud, then with bit of cotton flannel
wet in kerosene rub them well when
they are partially dry repeat the treat
ment. Put them in a moderately
warm place to dry slowly and thor
ougbly. When they are quite dry rub
again with the cloth damp with kero-
sene, and apply the dressing. They
will be soft and flexible, and but little
affected by their rain bath.

SIX RULES For LAMPs.-Let the
wick always touch the bottom of the
lamp, and trim the top square and
even, cutting off the corners. In stu
dents lamps rub of the crusts on the
wicks and never cut them.
2. Fill lamps within half an inch OF
the top. If too full the oil runs out,
and especially when lighted, greasing
everything that it touches.
8. In lighting, turn wick up slowly,
that the chimney may heat slowly and
thus not crack.
4. Keep the wick turned high
enough to burn freely. If too low a
poisonous and explosive gas is genera
ted.
S. A free draught is as necessary
with lamp as with fire, so keep all
parts free from dirt.
6. Wash the chimneys in hot suds
and polish them with old newspapers.

THE COLOR OF HoRsEs.-"We have
never been very positive about the
color of horses having much to do
with their usefulness, speed or endur-

Farm. A test has lately been made in
France to determine whether color has
anything to do with horse character
istics, and it demonstrated that it had
not. Pedigree, feed and early training
had all to do with it, say the French
experts, and color nothing whatever.
Among the breeders of trotters it used
to be said that a white legged horse
was not worth raising, and so it passed

A LACK OF "EDDICATIoN."-Says {
Saratoga correspondent: I met deal
old Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania
at the cottage one day. He was jus
as full of fun and storytelling as ever
He said he was once in a Southern
hotel, so tired, so full of business ano
care, as to be Indifferent to creature
and comforts. When he went to din
ner, the waiter politely handed him
the bill of fare with low bow, and
"What will you please to order sab p
30, give me some dinner, said the
governor, waving the menu away,
without looking at it, and handed the
darkey half dollar.
Every day the same programme was
enacted a grand darkey bow, menu
offered, waved away, "give me din
ner," and half a dollar.
And the waiter would hurry of,
bring back everything on the bill o.
fare, with, no doubt, the mental ejacu'
lation: swell, dis yer beats me
Who'd a think sich fine gemmen as
he had no eddication."
The evening Governor Curtin left
he handed the silver as usual, and
said: "Well, goodbye Jackson. You
have taken very good care of me-"
"T'ank you sab. Ise awful sorry
to have you go; drefful sorry, indeed
sah."
"Why, what's the matter?"
"Deed, sab, dere's lots of gemmer
come to dis yer hotel but no one
came before what didn't know how to
read. Use mortal sorry, honey
mean sab but I did my best to gel
you good dinners, sah."

EXPERIMENTING In PRUNING
The best time to prune an apple tree
is when the knife is sharp! This is
rank heresy in the eyes of many who
favor pruning only in winter, but it is
borne out by tests at Cornell expert
ment station in Central New York. In
1891 six good-sized apple trees were
set apart, and a portion of a young or
chard has also been used for experiment
tation. That season limbs were cut off
every month in the year. This winter
the scars have been carefully studied
and photographed, and no difference
cen be found in the healing. That is,
no difference can be discovered that
would cause the recommending of any
particular month to prune. The
wounds at the time of pruning were
covered with all the different substances
recommended, and no advantage could
be discovered by their use over no
treatment, in healing over these wounds
which were 1 to 4 inches in diameter.
Prof. Bailey goes 80 far as to say that
the use of grating wax, shellac, paint
and various other coverings for wounds
made in the removal of limbs is only
valuable to keep out bacteria and thus
prevent rot. The ideal remedy for this
would be Bordeaux mixture (but it does
not LAST, as the other recommended
substances in brief time allow germs
10 obtain a foothold. The rapidly
growing upright branches heal over
much more quickly than the slower
growing laterals. Make smooth, clean
cuts and cut close to the body of the
tree, and make the cut on side branch
es parallel with the body of the tree,
and not at right angle to the limb cut
off, if by so doing the cut would not be
on line with the tree.

WILL PUT You TO SLEEP.-A red.
hot bath-that means a bath in water
just as hot as you can endure twill
sometimes put you to sleep in five
minutes, even when you are on the
verge of desperation with insomnia

cold one will often produce feeling o.

excellent remedy, or one dipped in no,
water. Some people lie with theil
