How Christ makes use Of common
lives. The man with the pitcher
Mark IA: 1916.
The world is made up of common
people and if Christ did not make use
OF them it wonld do very little to help
Christ, for the few uncommon people
could do but little. Christ makes
some use of every one, common or
uncommon. His twelve apostles were
common people but He trained them
so that they could carry on His work
after He left the earth.
The common lives would be or very
little value if the worlds standard
were taken, which is great promi-
nence, but Christ's standard is meek
ness, humility, mercifulness, purity,
love of peace, patient endurance of
Injustice, and an earnest longing for
righteousness. This standard gives
the most common lives a very good
chance to be one of Christ's most use.
full servants.
We may serve Christ and be uncon-
scious of the fact that we are helping
in any way 1t is quite probable that
the man with the pitcher knew moth
ing of the use Christ was putting him
to by--it may be unconsciously-guid
ing the disciples to the place they were
seeking. We may ontinually be do
ing something for Christ each day
while we think we are going about
our own business.

Arhor and Bird Day.

The following proclamation ha!
been issued by the Governor designat-
ing Friday, May 18th. as Arbor and
Bird Day:
"The practice of planting shrubs
aud trees In school grounds and public
parks, and in cultiyating interest in
bird life in the observance of the day
have shown such beniticent results in
the identifying Of the public grounds
and the preservation of our native
song birds, that it seems highly de-
sirable TO encourage, By all means
possible, interest in the day.
II recommend, therefore, that the
public schools, colleges and education
al institutions of the state, generally,
take steps for an appropriate observ-
ance of the day, and that every effort
possible be made TO awaken a deeper
interest in the purpose for which the
day is set apart"

We make the following extracts by
permission from a letter received by
Hans o. Fosmo of Martell from bis
son who is mem Der of the 18th reg

MANILA, Feb. ID, 1899.
On the Battlefield.
Dear Friends
AS | have a chance to send you a
few lines | will give you short ac-
count of our experience for the past
few days, including brief report OF
the battles we have had with the
Fiipinos. Feb. 4th was as fine a day
as is ever seen Sin this country and
the boys were all at the Lunetta where
the bands were playing when sudden
ly call to arms sounded and the boys
were running as fast as their feet
would carry them to their quarters.
We Immediately fell into line and
were ready for action but were ordered
to stay inside and go to bed. This
was about p. NJ. Forty-five minutes
later another call sounded and we
were up in readiness to march to the
front. We knew what was awaiting
u.s. A steady fire was kept up until
II, then ,rest until 2, and another
fight until 4. At 8 we were given our
hard tack and canned beef and order
ed to get ready to meet the enemy
who were coming toward US. Pretty
soon the bullets were singing over our
heads and all around US. You cannot
imagine how a,Mauser bullet can sing
| wished / had been small so as to es.
cape better. Then came the order to
move.forward, this was not any easy
thing to commence, but as it had to
be done we started on a run. We
went forward against the insurgents
fire for half a mile till we reached
some trenches, and fired from here
steadily for five hours. Then came
the charge for which we have received
so much praise. The enemy we re
about 400 yards offand in the trenches
Forward we went on run till we
passed half the distance where we lay
| down and fired. The return fire was
hot one-two men in our company
were wounded. Another order to
charge and we jumped up and ran to
the trenches shouting and yelling a;
hard as we could. You ought to have
seen those 'niggers scramble out Of
those bitches and runl We rested
until 2:30 P. NJ. and then made another
charge through brush, swamps, water
| and mud in one place wading up to
our waists, reaching the bank where a
hot reception of bullets awaited us.
We returned the compliment until
the dead bodies around us was sicken-
ing, but we knew this was war and
such things must happen. All the
while Dewey was laundering away
with his big guns killing hundreds In
the bush. We saw in front of us a
queer sight that Sunday. One Of
Dewey's shells struck an insurgent,
threw him over the tree tops and left
him in front of US dead. The dav .,

A Remedy for Smut In oats.

The loss to the farmers OF Wiscon-
sin due to smut in oats amounts TO
hundreds OF thousands of dollars an
nually, all of which may be saved by
treating the seed oats before planting
at very slight cost.
A method for preventing oat smut
has now been found that is cheap and
simple. All that is necessary is to
thoroughly satarate the seed oats
with solution made by adding one
pound OF formalin TO 90 gallons OF
water, allowing the seed oats to re-
main saturated for two hours, before
spreading them out to dry.
To use this remedy, place layer OF
oats or inches thick on the barn
floor and sprinkle them with the
formalin solution until they are en-
tirely wet. Then another layer may
be placed on top OF the first layer and
sprinkled as before, repeating the
process until ali the seed oats have
been sprinkled. Then leave them In
the pile for two hours, when they
should be spread out thinly to dry
If they are to be sown broadcast, il
will not be necessary to dry them.
| Formalin may be purchased at an.
drug store, and costs from IS to 81
cents per pound. About one gallon
of the solution is enough to treat s.
bushels of seed oats.
Formalln is not dangerous to use
and does not corrode the flesh. TIL
oats will not be likely to be injure,
by it, even if left in the pile some
what longer than two hours.
