IDEAL.

Peter may forsaEe the ideal, but the ideal
will not forsake him. The words, the deeds,
the presence, the spiritual magnetism of
Christ still flash and vibrate through hls
life in spite of himself. Out there, on the
lonely sea that night. the lost ideal pursued
him. The very lap of the waves called TO
mind how Jesus taught the people from q
little boat, and His words mingled with the
murmuring waters. The darkness and the
rising wind recalled that strange scene when
he had walked to Christ upon the
waves; and. painted on the gloom In
soft, still light he yet seemed to see his
Lord moving on the sea. That sense OF
Christ which the intimacy Of long disciple
ship had wrought into his memory was not
to be shaken Off at will it ran, like subtle
essence, through all his thoughts. He was
indeed forsaking the ideal; but the ideal had
not yet done with him. And as it was with
Peter, so, thank God it may be with US.
We are not allowed to sink into sordidness
without many q struggle with our
better self. Our ideal possesses US, and
can only be driven off by violence. How
often in wakeful nights, in quiet hours OF
reverie, in some still moment We have
known by moor or sea, has our ideal come
back to us, and all the old high aims and
thoughts we once knew have throbbed again
through our softened nature! Seize
such hours-they are Gods hours, when
He is very nigh to them that seek Him. You
have gone a-1lshing. but God has followed
you upon the barren sea, and can meet you
even there. for He is not far from any one
Of us-Rev. ". j. Dawson.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE THE ONLY SAFEGUARD.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE THE ONLY SAFEGUARD.
There are those who say, "Drink, but
drink temperstely. Take your glass or two
OF beer or wine, but don't meddle with that
horr1d whisky. And, whatever you do, take
all your drink at home. Don't enter the
saloon. II you will only learn 10 drink In
moderation. you shall be saved from drink
Ing to excess. Whereas, II you never drink
at all, you will find the restraint irksome
and be very apt to fall into excess, on the
principle Of reaction. But crafty your ap-
bitually, and the temptation to excess at
any time will be lessened thereby"
To this there are two fatal objections: O
It Is this, that the taste for drink and the
habits OF drinking are acquired, and use OF
the lighter drinks (beer or wine) does not
exclude that OF the stronger (gin or whisky;
on the contrary, the one tends to the other
as readily as If by law OF attraction or
gravitation. Drink, drank, drunk Is Sc
quence almost as natural to the social as to
the grammatical arrangement.
From little to more, from weak to strong.
A few glasses Of wine may do to-day, but
double the quantity will be needed by and
by. Beer or light wine may satisfy now, but
brandy and other strong drinks VIII be IN
demand ere long. Again, this Is the most
certain Of all ways Of stereotyping the drink
ing customs, by founding them on the daily
habits OF ordinary domestic life.
Some say, "Drink, but keep sober" We
say, Don't drink, and remain SOBER" Their
very words imply an inconsistency and a
struggle. Ours, on the other hand, imply q
natural and easy sequence Of events. They
say, ENTER unto this temptation 80 far, but
beware" We say, "Enter not unto this
temptation at all and you will be the better
able, God helping you. to contend not
only with this temptation, but with every
tenn mptation.-National Temperance Advo.

NARROW PLACE.

"a narrow place ~ You know that place;
you have been there. you will very likely be
there again ere long; some of you may be
there at this very moment. For it Is not
merely defle away somewhere among the
mountains to the east of Moab. 1t Is LIE
passage in individual experiences-a time
when there is no evading or escaping re-
sponsibilities where we are brought face to
face with some inevitable question.
Temptation is such n marrow place" In
the serious crises of the souls history 1t is
alone. 1t is path on which there is room
only for itself and before it there is
God. Between these two always the
matter has to be settled. Yes or
no is the hinge On which everything
turns Shall yield and dishonor God, or
shall I resist and triumph in His mightp
There is no possible compromise; for COM
promise with sin is itself the most insidious
form OF sin. No man can pass
through these crises, and be after it precisely
what he was before it. He has met God
face to face, and he must be either the bet
ter or the worse for that. Either like Jacob,
at Peniel, he can say, MY life is preserved,
or like Saul, after he had thrown off his al
legiance to his God. he hos to exclaim, "Je-
hovah has departed from me, and Is become

VALUE OF SHEEP.

It does not require large farm to

everything considered, is the. best.

kept where wanted. Many q rough,

and made valuable by raising sheep.
There is no stock 30 we'll adapted to
rugged hillsides or rough pastures, or
to prevent the growth of weeds and
bushes. Where sheep have the range
of field very few weeds will go to
seed, and bushes will be 80 thoroughly
cropped that they Will either die or
be kept back. When a farmer can
thus easily turn the weeds and bushes
OF a farm into excellent manure, and
at the same time have them converted
into mutton and wool, it is certainly
good thing. Sheep will thrive III
pasture and get fat where cattle would
almost starve. They also scatter their
droppings over the field and never fall
to enrich lands where kept. Feed
them extra, for this additional food
works to the profit of the raiser IN
two ways-it not only insures q good
growth of flesh and wool, but it makes
the manure richer and more valu-
able.

is greater than human glory. And when
the revelator saw some bright spirits under

"Who are they up so high, who are just

CARE OF IMPLEMENTS.

Now that the greater part OF the
seasons work is finished, it will be q
good plan to gather up al OF the i'm
plements, plows, harrows, cultivators.
mowers, rakes, binders. and all such
tools and store them away under
shelter. It is not only necessary to
get them under shelter, but to store
them away in a good condition. It
left exposed to the weather consider
able damage will be done by rain,
sun, wind and snow. If proper care
is not taken in storing away, consid-
erable injury will be done to the iron
and steel from rust, and to the wood
work by decay. The dirt should ell
be cleaned of. If allowed to remain
on, as is often done, it will increase
the conditions for decay. Clean of
the dirt OF every kind, washing if nee.
essary, and then paint well. Linseed
oil and Spanish brown, red vermillion
or red ochre mixed to q proper con.
sistency makes not only cheap paint
but durable one, and it will pay to
keep the woodwork of all the imple'
ments and the wagons covered with it.
Black asphaltum paint is best for
the iron and steel except the working
parts-the share and moldboards OF
the plows, the sickles of the mowers
and parts of this kind that need to be
kept bright. These should be well
oiled all over or covered with unsalted
grease and then covered with thick
whitewash into which small quantity
of glue has been stirred. This will
prevent rust and save much time in
getting the implements in condition
for work in the spring.
The work OF cleaning and painting
can be done better now chan at any
other time, and the tools will be all
the better for it. Some time in the
spring can be saved if little care is
taken in storing them away. Put the
implements like the mower, binder and
hay rake in first, and the plow, culti-
vstor and harrow that will be needed
first in the spring, last. This will
save overhauling in the spring. If the
tool shed has no floor, put boards
under the wheels and under every part
of the machinery that comes directly
upon the ground.
Shelter for the machinery, and put
ting away in good condition will pay
as we'll as good sheltering for the
stock. Summer sun and rain are al
most, if not quite, as injurious as
winter winds and storms. Louis

WHAT TO DO WITH RHUBARB.

The old roots of rhubarb may be
taken up now and divided and replant.
ed in new ground with plen5y Of old
manure. Each root may make three
or four cuttings, which the second
year will make good plants. Some of
the roots may be put into cellar and
planted in half b:rrcls, in 1;ch soil,
with plenty of manure, and by and by
they will grow and make shoots that
may be used through the winter. Ere
quent waterings with warm-not hot
water encourages the new growth.
A few old roots should be left to bear
the next season until the divided roots
will have made sufficient growth fol
safe cutting the second year.

settle about four inches lower than It
stood before. Then trim the tree
thoroughly, not by cutting off large
limbs, but reduce the leaf surface by
cutting away small limbs and twigs,
and by taking off the ends of the
longer limbs. Then raise it into it's
place and set fence post in the
ground at an angle so that the tree
will rest against the top Of it; then FIJI
in under the roots with sods and rich
earth mixed with manure, so as to en-
courage strong root growth. In .
few years your trees will be as good as
before. OF course this only applies
to trees that have roots enough left
intact to keep the tree from wither.

distance from US who has merely done 4
mighty work, when we eat the bread and
drink the wine in remembrance of IN abb

present one, the pressure of evil that crushes
down our faith and hope and love seems to
make the past redemption wholly unayail-
ing for our great necessity. But Christ
in US, as st. Paul told the Co.
lossars is the hope Of glory. What
we want is not that we should
attain some separate and selfish bliss. but
that he who has been striving with us all our
lives through. to deliver US from the separa-
ton and selilshness which have been our
torment and curse. should effect his own
purpose-that we should he his willing SER

THE BEST WAY OF PLANTING BULBS.

After ordering your bulbs set about
getting your compost ready in which
to pot them. As good soil es any is
one composed OF ordinary garden
loan, sands, and we'll rotted COW ma.
nure in equal parts. One.third sand
may seem like "too much of a good
thing" but it is not. Nowhere in the
world are better bulbs grown than IN
Holland, whose soil is nearly all sand.
Better bulbs can be grown in clear
rand, properly fertilized, than in the
richest of soils without sand. Mix
your compost we'll. and have it fine
and mellow. It is very important
that the manure should be old. Fresh
manure is harmful to all bulbous
plants, out or in doors. I should ad.
wise the growing of several bulbs in
the same pot. The effect is more
pleasing because of the greater mass
of color in limited space. Three or
four hyacinths, tulips or daffodils may
be grown successfully in seven-inch
pot. Half a dozen crocuses or snow
drops will be required to fill six
inch pot. Three or four average size
bulbs of the Bermuda lily can be
grown in a ten-inch pot. -Eben L.
Rexiord, in Ladies' Home Journal.

CROSS DRILLING OF WHEAT.

No winter grain should be cross
drilled. 1t is doubtful whether there
are any advantages in cross drilling
grain at any season. The check to
growth IN the drill furrow is only
enough to save the grain from becom-
ing too vigorous and being thereby
attacked with rust. The particular OBJ.
lection to cross drilling winter grain
IS that half the seed is double covered
and is buried under the ridge made
by the second drilling. We tried this
once, and found that the first drilling
was entirely winter killed, or so near
ly so that very little grain could be
found except in the last drill rows.
The checkered appearance OF a CROSS
drilled grain crop makes it look fine
when the plants come up, but the. crop
is never afterwards SO good as that
where the seed is drilled all one way.

EXPECTATION.

Rest in expectation we may all have now
II We believe in God and know we are His
children. Every taste of Him that we have
ever had becomes prophecy OF His perfect
giving of Himself to us. 1t is rs when a
pool lies far up in the dry rocks, and hears
The tide and knows that her refreshment
and replenishing are coming. How patient
she is The other pools nearer the shore
catch the sea first. and she hears them leap
ing and laughing. but she waits patiently.
She knows the tide will not turn back till 1t
has reached her. And by and by the blessed
moment comes. The last ridge Of rock is
overwashed. The stream pours in at first
tickling thread sent only at the surpemc
effort of the larger wave: but by and by
the great sea in its fulne5s. 1t gives the
waiting pool itself and she is satisfied. SO
it will certainly be with us if we wait for tho
Lord. however He delays. and refuse to let
ourselves be satisfied with any supply but
Him.-Phillirs Brooks.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The Belgian Minister OF Railways, Posts
md Telegraphs has forbidden the sale Of
liquor, even Of wine or beer, by any OF the
agents of his department. In explaining to
the chamber his conduct, and justlfying it,
he said 1t had been represented to him that
"There are in your administration 1400
agents keeping taverns, and you have been
surprised at having 80 often to punish agents
who are found drunk on duty. The evil Is
there in these 400 taverns. You ars astoh-
ished at having 800 accidents to workmen
per annum. Take the trouble OF being at Il
railway station at the hour when the work.
man has drank. The half Of the accidents
happen through the abuse OF liquors. and
this consumption Of liquors takes place In
the taverns kept by the agents who draw

traversing the three longest OF the
known GLACIERS outside Of the polar
regions. He states in recent article

he kept himself out of any cramped
position, and kept the chest free so
that the lungs might expand to the

OFFENSIVE BREATH IN A HORSE.

This may be the result of imperfect
digestion, or due to disorder of the
lungs, or to decayed teeth. The cause
is to be investigated and the proper
treatment for the special case applied
under the advice of veterinary. If
the digestion is imperfect, dose of a
pint of raw linseed oil, repeated twice
afterward at intervals of two days, and
followed by tonics, Of which one of the
best is mixture of equal parts of
ground gentian, ginger and sulphate
of iron, given daily in a bran mash.
One tull teaspoonful is the dose: This
will probsbly..afford quick relief. If
the teeth are at fault, these should be
attended to by veterinary. New
