FAITH AND WORKS.
Having the Form of Goodness, But Do
nying the Power Thereof.

Having the Form of Goodness, But Do
nying the Power Thereof
There are men who call themselves
Christians because they hold 10 certain
beliefs. They can find their religion in
n book, or write it out on paper. But
these beliefs differ very widely from
true faith. Paul said to Agrippa: II
know that thou believest;" but there
was no persuading him to be a Chris
tian. James, discussing the emptiness
OF mere beliefs, says: Thou believest
there is one God. Thou doestwell. The
devils also believe and tremble." Jonah
had beliefs concerning God when he said
to the mariners who awoke him: Take
me up and cast me forth into the sea,
SO shall the sea be calm unto you,' but
there is no evidence of his having faith
in God at that time. A religion without
n creed may be impossible, but creed
without religion is not unusual. Be-
levers in the Apostles creed" are not
all, by any means, of apostolic charac-
ter. 1t Is possible to have the form OF
godliness" but to deny ''the power there
Of" An apostolic church was found to
have "a name to live, "but TO be in re-
atty dead. Faith is of the heart, and
works by love. 1t is with the heart
that man believeth unto Righteousness"
Faith exists between beings, and not be-
tween being and creed. The Word Of
God may warrant the faith. The Word
believed may lead up to the act of trust.
Rut it only leads up to it; the heart
must respond to the belief.-N. Y. Ex-

A LITTLE FAIRY.
There was ence q little fairy
Tf a Ear 400 a.. 81, $500


In toy shop in the west,
Dressed in garments white and shining
With crown and spangled vest.
And her eyes were blue and tender,
And her grille was glad and sweet;
She was wound inside with clockwork.
So she danced with tireless feet.
It CHANGED that to the window
Came little prince one day,
In dainty suit of velvet
And a cap with feathers gay.
And he praised her for her beauty
And the lightness of her dance,
Till her foolish heart was fiuttered
BY the wonder of his glance.
The little prince was wealthy,
So he bought her for his own,
And the fairy and her spangles
And her heart were his alone.
Then she whispered, oh, so gladly.
AS he bore her far away:
Though I'm but silly fairy
He will love me now Away" #05
But he wearied Of his plaything,
Just as wiser people do,
And he broke her heart, they tell me,
When she old and faded grew.
He had other things to please him
Ships and horses too, trow,
And you wouldn't know the fairy
If you CHANGED 20 see ner now.

PRAYING for Rain.

Remarkable scenes, the like of which
have not been witnessed for hundreds
of years, took place few days ago in
Madrid in the shape of religious pro-
cession praying for rain. No fewer
than 500 priests with lighted tapers
and thousands of members of religious
congregations, also carrying lighted
tapers and 500 sacred banners, took part
The chief feature of the procession was,
however, the body of st. Isidro, the pat
ron saint of Madrid, who fiourished in
the 18th century, and whose body, in
cased in a magnificent silver filigree
urn OF the 10th century, was carried by
priests in o portable altar.-Chicago

Dried Duck as Food.

One of the articles of food most priced
by the Chinese on the Pacific coast is
dried duck. An American in Contra
Costa county, Cal, has started duck.
drying business and has monopoly OF
the Chinese trade. He buys hundreds
of ducks from hunters, fills them with
salt and hangs them in the sun for six
weeks. They become as hard as sole
leather or dried Goldfish and are kept in

their dried duck from China, but now
patronize the home industry almost eK'

better way Is to strengthen our own or

SPRUCE.
Current Weekly Comment.

CoRN.-There is quiet demand ruling.
with prices about steady.
FLoUR.-There is some business doing,
but the demand lacks life.
HAY.-There is yet steady market for
choice old hay, and such will sell at S17 to
S18. Our quotations are for new hay.
OATs,-The market is quiet. New oats
arriving have graded low, most lots in
speeding no better than no grade and re-
jected.
PorAToEs. Receipts have nearly doubled
the past week. The supply has been alto
gether too large for the limited demand and
prices have been steadily declining, closing
about Zoe lower than week ago.
LUMBER.-The demand for boards of all
kinds is quite light. Hemlocks are in better
request than almost any other grades, but
even they could not be called other than
quiet Box boards of all kinds are quiet
and without feature.
BUTTRR.-Receipts have been liberal for
the past week and trade dull. The make of
butter is unusually large for this season of
the year and the supply of fresh goods is
more than ample for the dem nd. Very
little fresh northern creamery Offering ON
the open market.
Wool There is a better demand for
wool, as there is also better demand for
goods, than fortnight since. The clip is
short again, the American clip OF 1896 being
but 272,474, 70o pounds, against yA, 29o, I26
pounds in 1885, 325, 900 pounds in 1871,
and 34S, 1913, 1873 pounds in the tiood.tide
year, 1893. This shortening in the supply
will Offset to some extent, OF course, the
decrease in demand.

DO We Need Creamery Inspectors?

There are creameries in Vermont
that do not at all need any inspecting,
but there are some that do; there are
many which would do better work if
an expert should drop in occasionally
and offer suggestions, make criticisms,
and point out defects. The creamery
interest is of the greatest Importance
to the state, and especially to the farm
ers, and any means which is available
to improve the creameries should be
seized upon and pressed into service.
Ii some one connected with the Expert.
ment Station or Dairymen's Assoca-
ton were put upon the work of cream
cry inspection it would doubtless bear
abundance of good fruit. He should
be an expert should be man to whom
the creameries could go for advice.
shonld be called in to settle contro-
versies between patrons and creamery
men, should be able TO encourage, d.
rect and aid the dairy industry in mani
fold ways.
Such man would add much to the
dairy reputation of Vermont. The
products of the creameries and cheese
factories would steadily improve, and
would bring more money into the state.
Some communities of patrons need in
specting, toning up; need pointed adj
dress, rousing talk, such as the in
spector could give. We are sure there
Is large field for such work, and hope
the matter will have due consideration.

years. sleep well and soundly and
my food does not distress me at all.
81 can heartily recommend DR.
Gleene'S Nervura to any person on
account of its good effects on myself
and friends"
Surely no one who reads this posi-
tive proof of the marvellous powers of
DIR. Greene's Nervura to make the sick
well, the powerful endorsement of this
grandest of medicines by one of Mas
sachusetts' foremost statesmen, will
hesitate another instant in seeking
the sure road to health by using DR..
Greene's Nervura.
1t is what the world of sufferers
needs. 1t is the great cure for weak
ness, nervousness, tired-out bodies,
shaky, unsteady and weakened nerves.
1t gives power and strength to nerves
and body, with restored vigor and re-
newed vitality; makes rich, red blood,
cures dyspepsia. indigestion, constipa.
tlon, kidney and liver complaints. 1t
banlshes headache, sleeplessness, neu-
ralgla and rheumatism. In fact il
makes the sick well. Use it and prove
for yourself its wonderful power to
cure.
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is not like the preparations put
up by irresponsible and unpro essional
people, but is the pre- scription and dis
covery of a widely known physician,
DR.. Greene of "a Temple Place, Boston,
Mass, the most successful specialist in
curing nervous and chronic diseases. 1t
is plainly evident, therefore, why it al
ways cures - because it is perfectly
adapted for just these complaints.
Another thing which can be said of no
other medicine, and which practically
assures cure by DR.. Greene's Nervura,
DR.. Greene, its discoverer, can be con-
sui ed free, personally or by letter.

Many man is losing good clear 300
year through his stable floors. If you
cannot do better, get some good clay
and make tight floor by pounding it
down, or use plank and boards put to-
gether with hot tar. No matter how it
is done If it is well done, so that you
can save all the liquid manure.
And then don't throw the manure
out under the caves to leach and
waste. If you have no good place to
store manure, either make one, or put
it right on to the land, right where it
will do your crops good. But it is
usually far better to have manure
shed. We think the day of barn cell
lars, especially under stables, is passed.
A shed with tight aoor,-a floor made
of cement, stone and sand, or of
beaten clay, or of something which will
hold all the liquid manure, convenient
to the barn, 80 that when the stables
are cleaned the manure can be wheeled
directly into the she'd this is the most
sanitary, manure preserving outfit.
For bedding, use whatever can be got;
dry earth, stored in dry spell, is some
thing which can always be secured at
home. Horse manure is thrown into
the trenches by some of the best farm
ers, those who do not have straw. 1t
might pay to grow an acre or more of
oats on purpose for the straw for bed
ding. Moss, leaves, sawdust, and any
thing which will take up and hold the
liquid manure should be used as it can
be obtained. Meanwhile sit down, YOU
that have leaky stable floors and that
throw your manure out under the |
caves, sit down and figure up what 1t |
will be worth next year to have the
value of your manure doubled, for that |
is what these improvements would do.
What would it be worth the next five
or ten years to double the value of
your manure?

Harvesting and Storing Potatoes.

If the fields have been kent clean.
the labor of digging will be greatly
lessened. Begin as soon as the potatoes
are well ripened-that is, after the
stems have rotted, leaving the potatoes
free, and when the skin does not break
readily. The crop then keeps better
than when dug earlier and also weighs
more. BY whatever means they are
removed, care must be taken not to
bruise or cut any of them. If one is
injured, throw it out, for it will start
decay in the heap or bin. Dig only
when the ground is moderately dry, so
the tubers will come out free from
earth. If wet weather prevails, wait
until the field has dried off. Avoid
cloudy or foggy days, for the potatoes
should become dry on the exterior be-
fore they can be stored in safety. The
size of the field will largely determine
the method of digging. A potato fork
or hoe, skillfully handled, will remove
large number in day. A spade will
answer the same purpose. These
methods are too slow where any con-
siderable acreage is grown. An ordi-
nary pillow can be used with fairly salts
factory results. 1t must be carefully
handled, for not only will a careless
operator spoil many potatoes, but he
will also cover part of them so deeply
that the pickers cannot locate them.
After picking thoroughly, harrow the
field, as this will bring to the surface a
part OF those that have been covered
and missed. A large number of cheap
diggers are on the market, and under
favorable conditions they do fairly good
work. These will probably be bought
by the farmer who raises an acre or so.
Large growers find the four. horse dig.
gers economical. A large steel blade
runs under tie row and elevates earth.
vines and all, dropping them on an
endless wire chain. This runs over
grating which moves up and down, and
through it the dirt falls. The tubers
are carried toward the rear and are de-
posted in row on top of the ground,
clean and easily picked. Stones and
tclods go through with the potatoes,
hence they can never be run into
sack or wagon bed. These machines
are very practical, and almost indis-
pensable where the crop is extensive.
Picking is the most difficult part of the
whole operation. 1t must be done by
hand and is back-breaking work.
