A Chinaman, says the Christian AID.
vocate, applied for the position of cook
in a family in n of our western cities.
The lady of the house and most of the
family were members of a fashionable
church, and they were determined to
look well after the character of the
servants. So when John Chinman ap-
peared at the the door he was asked:
DO you drink whisky"
NO." said he. II Clistian man."

He was employed and gave great
satisfaction. He did his work we'll,
was honest, upright, and respectful.
After some weeks the lady gave a
progressive euchre" party and had
wines at the table. John Chinaman
was called upon to serve the party, and
did 80 with grace and acceptability.
But next morning he waited on the
lady and said he wished to quit work.

John answered:

THE ANTI Cigarette movemement is
making lively progress in the public
schools of New York City. In n
grammar school there are 57S members
of the Anti Cigarette League, only
twenty two boys having refused to take
the pledge. This consists of a promise
to use no cigarettes until the age of
twenty n years is reached, and to
encourage Others to step in the ranks"
The. above clipped from an exchange
is only one of the many "signs of the
times" that the boys of the land are

work of making the world better.

THE DEVIL.

The devil goes about like a roaring
lion, seeking whom he may devour,
and the bones of those whom he has
devoured are strewn all along the
highways of sin. But the devil does
not go about literally as a roaring lion,
frightening everyone from him. He
roars as gently as a lamb. Oftimes he
takes the garb of n gentleman. But
he will never cea to tempt. There is
a supreme refuge from the power of the
evil in the companionship of God
Almighty. 1t is a noble and chivalric
thing to fear God.-Rev. ]. s. Kennard,

HOW TO KEEP APPLES.
Chief Requisite for Preservation 10 .
Uniform Low Temperature.

Uniform Low Temperature
On the subject Of keeping apples Mr..
0. w. Hawden, of Worcester, Mass, in
recent address, said: "If apples are
expected to keep well they must be
picked from the trees and handled care
fully. Barrels and boxes are found the
most convenient packages for apples,
but should be washed and thoroughly
cleansed and dried before using; care
should be taken that no nails prOtrude
through the slaves. The fruit should
be carefully placed in the barrels and
gently shaken and pressed into them as
compactly as possible to prevent any
motion Of the fruit after the barrels
are headed; each sort should be marked
and placed where the temperature Is
low and uniform If possible. If apples
are to be stored for winter or late keep
ing the sooner placed in a cool and uni
form place the better. A fruit house
or cellar made with view for the pur-
pose Ia best, but most growers usual
ly have to resort to their cellars. The
chief requisites for the preservation Of
fruit from October to May or June fol-
lowing are a uniform low temperature,
which in autumn may be obtained by
giving abundant ventilation on cool
nights, to be closed when the atmos-
phere Is warm. Fruits should be MAIN
tanned or kept in as nearly as possible
It's condition when gathered. The grad
ual ripening process, or the fermenta-
ton Of the juices premonitory to de-
cay, should be checked and kept in a
dormant condition. When maintained
nearly at freezing point the mellow
ing or ripening process in the fruit
nearly ceases. Fungi and mildew, the
primary causes of decay, do not germi-
nate under these circumstances; the
best late keeping results are promoted
thereby. The prices at which apples
are sold differ very materially between
October and June and are often as one
to Ave; thus the growing price in the
cellar is Of fully as much Importance as
the growing fruit in the orchard" ice

ThO Ono Here Described Is Inexpensive

One Of the simplest and best conf
Btructed slices built In barn was cir.
cular In shape and built Of pine staveE
six inches wide and two inches thick,
which had been beveled at the mill for
the purpose
The foundation was made of concrete
and upon this the slaves were set. The
circular form was obtained by simply
mailing barrel slaves on the outside to
hold them in place until the hoops could
bs put ON. The use Of barrel slaves in
this manner saved the making Of
frame around which to build the silo.
The hoops or bands should be made
Of galvanized iron, the size being about
one-half inch in diameter, and these
should be put on at a diStanceof three
10 three and half feet apart, one being
placed within 1s inches of the top and
bottom of the silo.
The method Of keeping these bands
tight and Of taking up the slack due
to the shrinkage Of the staves Is q very
simple and good one. Pieces Of we'll
seasoned oak, four by four inches by
about four feet long, have holes bored
through them for the insertion Of the
hoops. Large nuts with washers are
put on the ends Of the hoops and then

In all its stages, and that is Cstarrh. Halls
Catsrrh Cure is the only positive cure

can be kept tight, and as shrinkage
progresses the slack can be taken up.
If when the sllo Is filled the moisture
causes the slaves to swell, we may loos-
en- the nuts and prevent anything from
breaking.
To hold the slaves In place during
the summer when the silo may be emp
~, one may use large staples, such as
are employed in the construction Of
barb-wire fence. These staples should
be driven In so that they will overlap
the crack, one prong being inserted in
one st0ve, the other prong being in
serted in the adjoining stave. BY this
simple method, when the silo dries out,
the Btayes will be held firmly in place,
and there will be no danger Of the silo
falling to pieces.
The doors may be constructed In the
following manner: Pieces similar to
the felly Of a wagon wheel are nailed to
the outside of the silo between the
bands, then with saw set at level
the door ls sawed ont so that 1t can be
removed only from the inside. Aspace
shrce feet wide will usually be found
large enough for the door. The cut
made by the saw at each end will per-
NIT the insertion of a piece Of tarred
paper when the door Is put In place.
The sides Of the door may be planed
OF slightly so that paper may be put in
20 make the opening air-tight. All the
dcors needed would probably be Sc
cured by cutting out the space between
every second hoop.

no better or more economical way OF

GOV cred with vines were scattered here

island was a kitchen garden, stocked
with choicest fruits. Spacious out
buildings were erected and boat land
ings constructed for communication
with the Ohio and VirginE shores.
The house was like palace with two
wings stretching out in either direc-
zion, and it's inside finish was luxurious.
When the house was completed, to-
gether with the adornment of the
grounds, the sum of 100000 in gold had
been expended.
The mistress of this romantic home
was a very beautiful woman. Her
figure. tall and commanding, was
nodded in perfect proportions. Her
manners were captivating, and at the
same time full of dignity. She wrote
and spoke French and Italian fuently,
while her familiarity with English lit
erature at once stamped her as wom-

quent trips to the east to visit friends,
as well as to make purchases. They en-
tertained lavishly for the times and for
the surroundings, and the fame of their
hospitality reached far and wide.
Such was the island home, and such
were it's inhabitants, when the serpent
entered this Eden and wrought it's
ruin. Aaron Burr was one of the most
Fascinating of men. A graceful man,
Iof handsome aquiline features, with
high mental endowments and in pos
session of rare conversational powers,
he had the instincts of a vulture and
was eternally scheming for his own
personal qualification and aggrandize-
ment, reckless of the ruin and misery
his selfshness wrought. His career had
been brilliant until when, as vice pres
ident of the United States during Pres
ident Jefferson's first term, he imbrued
his hands in the blood of Alexander
Hamilton and brought upon himself
the execration of his countrymen. 1t
was then he formed the Napoleonic
conception, and apparently feasible one,
of wrestling from Spain the empire OF
Mexico, and from the United States the
vast and almost unsettled solitudes of
the Mississippi valley, there to organize
magnificent empire, of which he was
to be imperator.
Burr had heard of Blennerhassett,
of his wealth, and of his influence over
the rapidly-increasing population OF
the Ohio valley, and he resolved to enlist
him in the enterprise. In the spring
of the year 1906, Burr appeared upon
Blennerhassett island. and was the re-
,cipient of distinguished attentions at
the hands of its hospitable owners. 1t
is not my purpose to follow in detail
the intrigues and intricacies of the
dealings between Burr and Blennerhas-
sett. Suffice it to say that both host
and hostess were charmed. He was as
artless as a child. Familiar with the
secrets of state, he spoke of the prospect
Iof war with Spain and of the ease With
which the Mexicans with little help.
might throw off the Spanish yoke and
establish an independent government.
Having taken the first step. he went
