BUILD YOUR NEST LOW.

Advice to Girls from Mary Lowe
/ n Dickinson, General Secretary ol
4 NJ theE Kings Daughters and Sons
One who had been listener while 8
bright girl announced most ambitious
and purposes for her own
life, answered, gently "You may be
right, dear child, but do not forget
that the asinging birde build low u
II If your flight Is above the roof trees,
;ifiyouri hearts are to, be high up among
the win Lock bonghs, the home nest
can ikfi TO suffer loss. And apart
from tIle floss to those who remain,
the daughter who goes out often finds
too Iatesthat the low nest was safest
and BEST There are colder winds on
the mountain crags, and tits the birds
of prey that build their nests on high.
After all our thinking and talking
Of progress for man or woman, it is
true that nothing ever comes to us
that is as sweet as the life Of home.
Let women seek largest culture, the
broadcast freedom, the highest service.
All goes we'll while they keep the
home love warm. When that love
wavers, it is time to pause. We are
building our nests in the wrong place.
Singing birds are to make melody,
first, for our nearest and dearest, and
when our best is too good for the home
we are placing our nests too high.
For some of the sweetest Of our
daughters and sisters there is creep
ing danger here. Not danger that
they shall be too brave, too learned,
or that their weapons shall be too
heavy or too sharp-but danger that
in the joy of welding them, they for
get that all their gifts and powers
must ultimately be used for homes, if
not for their own, for the homes OF
others. The true woman may build
high, but she can not for very long
dwell above the home. In her hands
is its regeneration and its exaltation
into the noblest institution Of God.
She may not herself hold therein the
place of wife, mother or daughter, but
80 long as in her heart she holds home
most sacred and devotes her highest
powers to the objects that uplift all
homes, her nest is low, and her voice
shall be to the world as sweet as the
song of the birds.

The Dignity of Service.

All life may be made divine. yet the
divinest thing of all is service. To
Law aside the garment, to be. glrded
with a towel, to wash the disciples
feet has abont it dignity which is
centered in the Almighty throne. 1t
was because Jesus 'came from God
and went to God" that the memorable
scene at the last supper was even q
possibility. Service is as the very
nature of God, which nature must
express itself, and, when manifested
on earth, it spells sacrifice. To per.
form the work of servant was not
beneath the divine dignity, but was
that dignity expressing itself in q
superlative way. If we may so say,
service was in the blood of the Son OF
man, and was there because he was
also the only begotten Son of God.
Jesus was great enough to do any act
of service, and it is because we are
"not great that we think any duty
small.n When the everlasting Son
came from the bosom of the Father to
make known to men the heart of God,
he took upon him the form of a SER
VauCJ duu Guc SURE way W OhoSA ihoS
the dignities and joys of sonship, is
still to do the work of servant. The
way to ascend is to first 60 down.
The secret Of power is helpfulness.
The road to the throne always passes
by the hill called Calvary, and life
spent for others has the music of a
tuneful elequence all it's own.
When this is realized, and the prin-
cirle of sacrifice enters into life, work
is not drudgery, service Is not humila.
ton, and the crown no longer Is OF
thorns, but becomes transmitted into
the jeweled crown of glory.
This is the greatest argument for
service. TO save us from being humil-
lated, we are called to work. In God's
kingdom the order is reversed, and
the servants are in the chief seats.
The inner circle of Christs friends
are servants, although ne calls them
by the former name and their service,
his for them and theirs for him, is
the very essence of the friendship.
The future shall be like the present IN
this. The service of earth shall be-
come the song the skies. Therefore
are they next .tGe throne, and serve
him day and night in the temple.

Relieving Choked Cattle.

! Choking in cattle is usually caused by
swallowing q potato, apple, piece of
turnip or. carrot, or q piece of corn-cob.
No matter in which part of the gullet
it is lodged 1t causes great distress.
The animal coughs, saliva runs from
the mouth, eyes bulge out, backis arch
ed and bloating also takes place. If 1t
is in the upper bart of the gullet the
animal soon dies from suffocation. If
it is in the middle or lower part the
animal may live for several days. Ifit
is in the upper part of the gullet give
little oil and then rub the hand up and
down the throat to scatter theaccumula-
tion.. It may be necessary to give
little oil several times, and continue the
rubbing, as it may take some time to
overcome the choking. In case no oil
is at hand similar attempt may be
made BY pouring down come water.
Ifthe obstruction cannot.be forced up
or down py oiling and rubbing the
gullet, use a probang which is made OF
spiral wire covered with leather and
which Willbend with the neck. There
is also gag to put in the mouth, with
q hole in the center through which the
pdSSCSs VII thO ptoPopS oho
let one man take holdLof the animals
horns or ears, while another passes the
probang through the hole in the gag
and back into the gullet. Press gently
until the object is felt then by steady
pressure it will pass into the stomach.
Too much force should not be used for
fear of rupturing the gullet. No un-
yielding article should be pressed down
the gullet, as it is almost sure to rupture
it. If probang is not convenient
take piece Of rope about three-fourths
to one inch in diameter, fray out Q
little of the end and tie piece of string
around it to form a soft knot, grease
this well and it willsupply the place of
a prodang. <~....., :.
In cases where an animal cannot be
relieved by this treatment. cut down
on the guilet with q knife, making an
incision and removing the material.
Clean the wound and bring the edges
of the gullet together firmly and sew
with silk thread or catgut, letting the
ends hang out of the external wound,
bring the edges of the skin together,
but bandage around and Keep it wet
with cold water for "a hours, and it
will usually heal. Give the animal
soft food for some days, and If a pro-
bang was used and the gullet not cut
give soft food two or three days.

Cure for Cape In Young Chick ems.

Young chickens are not troubled
with gapes until about four weeks old.
In the evening before the hen and her
brood enter the coop, pour about a gill
of crude petroleum over the floor of The
coop. During the night the fumes
from the oil will kill the worms and
afterward be found on the floor of the
coop. This in no theory, but has been
tried, and the result was stated above.
The chickens were cured of gapes, and
grew nicely without further trouble
from gapes. -
