Set Apart.
Set apart for Jesus,
Is not this enough.
Though the desert prospect
Open wide and rough?
Set apart for His delight,
Chosen for His holy pleasure,
Sealed to be His special treasure,
Could we choose nobler joy
And would we if we might?
SET apart to love Him,
And His love to know,
Not to waste affection
On passing show;
Called to give Him life and heart,
Called to pour the hidden treasure,
That none other claims to measure,
Into His beloved hand thrice
Blessed, "set apart"

Tales of Windsor Castle


Windsor" The ancient ranger was sup posed to promenade around an oak, wearing horns upon his head
 Many a page of history is written on the walls of Windsor Those that lay captive within the boundaries of the castle left their woeful histories carved upon their prison. Their memories were thus better perpetuated than those of some of more illustrious birth. It was only a chance breaking up of the floor | of the St. Georges Chapel that the body of Edward " was found. In 1913 Sir Henry Haford found too, and open ed the coffin said to contain the body of 1 Charles l. The remains, he said. were in precisely the condition described by witness of his immurement But so many are the stories concerning the remains of this unhappy monarch and of Crom- well that even now controversy has reached scarcely any more definite con- cluslon than had been arrived at a cen- tury ago
 The gorgeous tomb which Wolsey built for himself was converted into money after his fall. The exquisite adornments with which artists had bedeeked it were sold as defaced brass for fG00. George W spent q million and a half on restor- ing the castle. As finishing touch to his work he had huge bronze equestrian statue of his father erected as the end of the magnificent three -mies-long walk. In time rather irreverent name be- came applied to the statue, so that tn monarch whose name 1t Is to perpetuate became disassociated from it. This led to funny little mishap at Queen Victorla's dinner table A distinguished statesman was asked how he had got to the castle. "Oh. I got a lift as far as the copper horse, and walked the rest of the way. ma'am," he replied ITO the what?" cried her majesty in amused amazement The guest had never heard of the statue by any other name. and had to explain himself as best he could. Whereupon the queen good humoredly rebuked him for his irreverence. and gave him the his- tory of the figure.

A Modest Giver.

Abram S. Hewitt alone knew who gave 900 to New Yorks Cooper Union last year, and very likely no one else ever will know The story as he told it was that after MT. Carnegie's gift of SG000O0 he was wondering where the next $500. GOO should come from. when "a gentleman whom I have long known. who had never manifested any special interest in Cooper Union, called at my house, and after a chat and a cup of tea said By the way. have got something for you, a little gift for Cooper Union, and to my intense astonishment he handed me s25O0O0." It was a certified check on trust com pany. MT. Hewett turned it over to the corporation and never told any one who the modest giver was.

 There is a tree which grows in sumatra. Algeria and China which is known as the vegetable tallow tree. From It's fruit large quantities of oil and talow are extracted, and the fruit Is gathered in November or December. when all the leaves have fai- len. Excellent candles are made from the berries of a tree which grows in some parts of South Africa and the Azores.
 At Sierra Leone Is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which Is very agree able in taste. In Ceylon there is the bread fruit tree. from which a food Is made in the same way that we make bread. It Is said to be equally good and nutritious. In South America we find the milk tree.

Some simple wash or ointment is often beneficial when the skin is much infamed or itches, but you can't depend upon local remedies for perma- nent relief, for the blood is continually throwing off impurities which irritate and clog the glands and pores of the skin, and as long as the blood re- mains unhealthy, just so long will the eruptions last. To efectually and per manently cure skin troubles the blood must be purified and the system thoroughly cleansed and built up, and S. s.

Walking With Christ.

If the path which you first travelled to Sunday school was along the sidewalk of city, then in all probability you walked. You walked by the side of your father or mother, because you were the youngest Then your new shoes would squeak at every step. Those shoes kept new for a long while, because you were only allowed to wear them on Sunday. But as you rode or walked to that Sun day school and to your first church ser vices a great change came over your family party. One of your sisters or brothers left your side and went up to the church altar. One by one they there gave their hearts to Christ and publicly confessed him at the communion table.
 After awhile your turn came. You can see yourself now as you came before the church session. You remember how the old minister wiped his glasses. He put his hand upon your shoulder and said: MY boy, why do you want to join the church? Do you love Jesus? Will you promise to live for him and give your life to his service?" Then you remember the great big lump that stuck in your throat. You remember how between your sobs you said: 'The reason I want to be a Christian is because my father and mother and Brothers and sisters are all Christians. I want their Saviour to be mine. As we have a united family here I want an unbroken family circle in heaven" Aged. gray haired man, that was a beautiful path over which you went to church for the first time. That was a holy drive you took on the morn ing you went to take your first com munion. You did not speak much that morning, but your thoughts were very deep and very high. They were as deep as your sins. as high and as great as the forgiveness of God. Oh. why have you

An Example IN Irrigation.

According to recent reports OF
United States consuls in India, that
country now possesses the most ex-
tensive irrigating system in the
world. This is due very largely to
the efforts of the British govern
ment. which has spent over $3.50 ,0o0,-
900 on such works. The works on
the Gauges were put into operation in
1854. The length of the frrigating
canals near this river is now more
than 1000 miles, and more than
l. 100000 acres OF land have been
brought under the system. During
the last so years the work has con-
stantly gone on, till now there are
many large systems irrigating total
of over 13,5O0,0O0 acres. These irri-
eating canals have proven good in
yestment and are returning an an
nual interest of nearly Z per cent A
part of these systems were planned
by Sir Anthony Cotton, hydraulic
engineer of great ability. This was
in 1885 His object was to cover all
India with a system of canals for both
irrigation and navigation Had his
plans been carried out, India would
have escaped many of her severe
famines. Some of these canals are
now used by the English for naviga-
ton. 1t is believed that ultimately

cottonseed Meal in the Pig Ration.
A bulletin of the Oklahoma station
says: Protein, the heterogeneous part
of the feed. is the most important con-
stituent in it, Many of the common
feeds on the farm. as corn, Kafir corn.
etc.. do not contain this ingredient in
sufficient amount for the best results
in feeding. A feed is generally valu-
able in proportion to the amount of
protein it contains. Cottonseed meal
is one of the very richest feeds in pro-
tein and it is a very cheap source of
this valuable food ingredient. In cat
tie feeding, cottonseed meal is used
quite extensively and with the best re-
suits where certain precautions are fol-
lowed. 1t has been used only to linn
tied extent in pig feeding, as fatal re-
suits have followed as a rule in the
general way of feeding it. After feed
ing on it from four to six weeks the
pigs would commence dying. and this
has usually been the case when even
very small amounts of the cottonseed
meal have been fed along with other
grain. The writer has found a mix
ture of LIS cottonseed meal and 40
corn or Kaf1r meal to give most ex-
cellent results when fed to pigs, and
with very few exceptions no pigs have
died, if the cottonseed meal was not
continued longer than four weeks.
Later experiments at this station indi-
cate that there are several conditions
under which pigs may be fed a small
amount of coJtonSeed meal with other
grain for an indefinite time without in
jurlng the pigs in any way, and good
gains Obtained with small amount of
grain. One of the conditions is where
the shoats have access to plenty of
range and green feed. Again, If the
cottonseed meal is dropped after feed
ing three or four weeks and after a
lapse of two or three weeks added to
the feed again for three or four weeks,
and dropped again for a few weeks,
and SO on until the pigs are grown or
fattened, good gains will be obtained
with practically no loss of pigs.
