MS enemies. Inc MeSSlanlc Interpretation

ness, nor mercy a license to indulgence;
pain, suffering, retribution are here; there
was severity in Jesus because Jesus was
true to life's law, but the Spirit of Jesus
was not the spirit of the imprecatory
psalms, and the Messiah of many psalms
is quite unlike our Christ. So far as we
are under their influence we need to eX-
corite ourselves and clear our vision.
But this promise is colored not only by
Johns nationalism, but possibly also by
certain traits of his personal character. it
was John who saw man casting out dew

was a strong party spirit in him. John
was one of two who wanted the chief

call fire from heaven upon the Samaritans.
The portrait of John in most peoples
minds. as the loving disciple. rests upon
the Christ's Gospel and the Epistles, hut

Food For Laying Henss

A comparison of feeding a part OF
the ration in the form Of ground grain
with the entire ration composed of
whole grain has been made by the
West Virginia experiment station, and
the result is published in bulletin
eighty-three. One flock of fowls was
fed mash in the morning, a second
flock the mash at night, and the third
flock had only whole grain. Results
showed very little difference between
feeding the mash in the morning or at
night, but a material gain in egg pro-
duction in the use of a mash in COM
parson with whole grain. The pens
which were fed mash at night laid
1166 eggs, the pens fed mash in the
morning 1859 eggs, and the pens re-
ceiving whole grain 1905. Trials with
yearling hens gave less difference in
favor of the mash.
Somewhat similar work has been
carried on by the New York expert
ment station at Geneva, with White
Leghorns and Buff Cochins. The Leg
horns having their grain food only dry
and whole, ate more food at greater
cost per fowl and for the live weight
than did two similar lots having about
thirty-seven per cent. of their grain
ground and moistened. With the CO.
chills better results We're obtained
where all the grain was fed whole.
This was probably due to the benefit
derived from having to scratch in the
litter for it. The Hatch experiment
station has found but little difference
in the number of eggs produced from
feeding the mash in the morning OF at
night.-New England Homestead.

After the ship which had come from
New Zealand was tied up at the wharf,
Larry O'Brien was told off by his ship
mates to call upon Mrs. Mccarthy and
break the news Of the death of her
husband, which had occurred on ship
board the preceding summer. The
Brooklyn Eagle tells how he did it:
"Good morning, Mrs. Mccarthy" said
he. "Is Denny in?"
"Denny?' said the surprised woman.
"My Denny? No, he's not in. Is the
ship here"
"Sure, it is. And Denny's not home
yet? That's quare-unless something
has happened him."
"What would happen him" Mrs.
Mccarthy asked, anXiously.
There's plenty of things can happen
to a man." said Larry, delicately. He
might have got hurted, or he might
have took sick with the fever. But
there's one comfort, as Father McGln-
mis- said once, and that is that time
heals iv'ry grief"
"What do you name, Mr.. O'Brlen"
81 name if anything happened to
Denny, you wouldn't feel as bad about
it few months after it happened as
you would right at the time, would
you?"
Il suppose not" said Mrs. Mccarthy.
"I mind whin lost me first husband
l thought I'd never get over it. But, as
you say, in few months it was aisier
to bear"
"Then, Mrs. Mccarthy, you'll be glad
to know that it's now four months
nearly five-since Denny died. Sure, ii
can't grieve you now as much as ii
would If you'd known it at the time.

The Day of Influenza.

To sneeZe or not to sneeze? That is
the question. Then we sneeze and it
changes to an exclamation. Everyone
is doing it. Headache, bones ache,
coughs, colds and the pestilence Of grip
is upon the face of the land. In
Brooklyn Hills the worthy burgher
sneezes an early curfew from his front
porch and the sound is mistaken for
blasting in the tunnel. And when the
shades of night draw down, he sneezes
across the field to his neighbor; Come
over this evening; we're having little
snack before going to bed. Got some
hot mustard and quinine, and some
thing in bottle" Then far into the
night the rich, ,mellifluous sneeze chorus
rises from that house. This is a hard
blow to the warnings of the doctors
who assert that grip is a serious mat
ter, and not to be sneezed at.

AS advanced ideas in farming con-

ing of geese continues to be more popu-
lar, and as the demand increases the
business becomes more profitable. The
old-time goose that weighed four or
five pounds has now almost entirely
disappeared, and in its place we have
the Toulouse and Embden, both grand
fowls that will weigh from twelve to
fifteen pounds each. They require no
expensive houses, but will need n dry,
warm shed during the cold months.
They should never be kept in the horse
or COW lot, as they invariably get Grip
pied by being trampled under the feet
of the animals. When being prepared
for market they fatten very rapidly on
corn or corn meal, and are ready to be
dressed within two weeks after having
been put on full feed. Geese are prof
table and are always in demand, and
Ethe little attention required to raise
them will justify the outlay in start

More About Wireless Telephony.

The principles at the base of wire
less telephoning are well known. IL
is sufficient to recall that if the varia-
tions of current produced by tele-
phonic transmitter are suitably trans
mitted to direct current feeding
an arc lamp the words pro-
nounced into the transmitter
are heard as if they originated
In the arc. This phenomenon is due
to changes in the volume of the arc
consequent upon changes of tempera-
ture caused by the variations of the
density of the current. The changes
of temperature of the arc also cause
changes in the emission of light from
it, and these latter changes are utilized
in the transmission of wireless tele-
phonic messages. The fluctuations in
the emission of the light are very rapid
and cannot be seen by the eye Mr..
Ruhmer has lately sent such messages
over a distance of more than four miles
by day and by night. Qn the day
time the appartus must be screened
from the direct rays Of the sun, nat
urally). To direct the beam Mr.. Ruh-
mer uses a 12-inch parabolic mirror.
The arc lamp employed requires to 0
amperes of current for distance of l
to 2 kilometres, to 10 amperes for 3
to 4 kilometres, II to 16 amperes for
to kilometres. The receiver con-
sists of parabolic mirror like the
transmitter, in whose optical axis there
is a cylindrical selenium element in
series with two telephones and a bat
terry. The selenium varies in resist
ance under the action of the varying
light. The luminous beam from the
transmitter determines these varia-
tions of resistance corresponding to the
microphonic currents of the transmit
ter. Similar variations are produced
in the receiver and the spoken sounds
are thus reproduced. The process
here described was tried by DR.. Graham
Bell in Washington, who was not sue
cessful over such long distance.

Poultry Notes.
Eggs For Hatching.

1t is mistake to sell off all the old
hens and depend entirely on the pullets
for the eggs used for Matching.
Chicks hatched from eggs laid by
hens one, two or even three years old,
are stronger, and usually make better
fowls than those from pullets.
3 Hens after the first year lay larger
1eggs, and the chicks from them are, as
a rule, harder than from younger hens.
The old hens are more patient settlers
and, as rule, are better mothers.
We think it better to mate the two
or three-year- hens with cockrels
that have fully matured, and reserve
the pullets, except those early Matched,
for market eggs.
Much of the worry in raising chicks
is the result of weak stock, and the
more We guard against such defects
the less will be our trouble.-Home
and Farm.

Gape=,

There is no doubt that gapes are
caused by small worm gathered from
the filth of the yard-usually in an en-
bryo state and being warmed in the
crop of the chick develops the small
WORN which gradually interferes with
breathing and produces that gaping
which eventually ends in death.
Incubator chicks have never been
known to have gapes, neither have
those that We're kept in clean, grassy
plats. Only those that have had runs
on bare ground, where filth was al.
lowed to accumulate, have ever had
gapes, and all tests have shown exclu-
sively that filth produced the disease.
If the chicks are under the care of a
hen see that the yards are kept clean
and change the location of the coops
every few days. Keep lime scattered
over the ground where there is no
grass and do not let the chicks eat
their food amid filth and mud.
