Our Miafakea.


One of the experiences that Is prob
ably common to most of us Is to look
back over a period of five or ten
years and wonder how we could have
been SO foolish as to do things and
say things on certain occasions which
we too keenly remember. To-day as
we recall the circumstances we bit
terly reproach ourselves that we could
have been SO fatuous and short-sight-
ed. But probably FIVE or ten years
hence we shall look back upon these
periods with much the same feeling.
We are going to continue to do fool
ish things to the end Of the chapter.
By divine grace one may largely over
come sinful tendencies, but there
seems to be no help for unwisdom and
poor judgment and inability to adjust
ones self to circumstances, but the
bitter discipline Of experience. There
Is one ray of light, however, upon this
course Of reflection, and that is the
fact that we recognize our mistakes
In the past Is the best sort Of reason
for believing that we are improving.
We have got our eyes opened to some
things; and though we shall probably
make mistakes in the future just as in
the past, they will not be the same
ones. And then, too, we should not
blame ourselves too severely for these
errors. In the nature Of the case
there were things when we made these
mistakes that we could not know as
we do now The man who Is stand
Ing on the mountain top and sees the
path winding up should be charitable
to the man down in the valley who is
losing his way in the thickets. We
need to cultivate charity for our own
mistakes.-The Waterman.

Increasing the Cabbage Crop.

Cabbages are selling at very high
prices this season. A little extra care
will increase the yield of the crop. Hoe
often, and once or twice sprinkle lit
tie nitrate of soda along the rows
quite close to the plant. AT the New
Jersey station there was yield of but
$40 prime heads per acre when no nj
trate of soda was used When three
hundred pounds Of the nitrate were
applied per acre In two equal dress
ings, the number Of prime heads OBJ
tanned was $500. When the same
amount was applied in three equal
dressings the yield of prime heads per
acre was $780, Quantity and quality
are both improved.

Sunday Reading.


Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster, the
charming wrlted and poet, tells the
following incident:
''Is this a good book to read to-day?"
The young girl who asked the Ques-
ton was away from home, and at
home she was accustomed to make
distinction between Sunday and week
day books. Her hostess looked up
Umilingly and said: why, yes, you
dear little Puritan! Anything on this
table may be read on Sunday"
Agnes went away with the bright
looking volume in her hand and seated
herself In a window overlooking
wide park. The story was entertain
ing; she read q few pages, but some
how her dear mothers face kept COM
ing between the pages and herself.
Presently she rose quietly, replaced the
book on the shelf whence 1t came, and
went to her own room.
Her hostess observed the action, but
made no comment. Nevertheless, 1t
touched a chord in her memory. Her
husband laid aside his newspaper He,
too, felt uncomfortable. And a lad,
Agnes cousin, said, very decidedly:
"Well, for my part, 1 respect an out
and-out Christian"

In Bible class recently the teacher
WAS telling Of the various TRANSACTIONS
Of the Bible and their different ex-
cellences. He spoke Of Jerome's Vul-
gate, of Luther's German Bible, Of our
own King James version, and Of the
Revised version, and how it was made.
The class was much interested, and
one Of the young men that evening
was telling q friend about 1t.
II think I prefer King James YER
sion for my part" he said; though,
Of course, the revised is more schol-
arly."
His friend smiled. II prefer my

"Your mother'sT cried the first
young man, thinking his companion
had suddenly gone crazy. What do
you mean, Fred?"
II mean that my mother has trans
lated the Bible into the language Of
daily life for me ever since 1 was old
enough to understand It," said Fred.
"she translates it straight, too, and
gives 1t a full meaning. There has
never been any obscurity about her
version. Her everyday life is a trans
lation Of Gods Word that child can
read, and that St. Jerome could not

the Bible I may study. my mothers is
always the one that clears up my diff
ficultes."

Dangers Of woman With tine Diuhrax.
II most persons were asked which Is
the moro dangerous occupation, that of
soldier in battle or of the average
housewife engaged in her ordinary du-
ties the answer would be wrong.
Though startling, 1t 10 true that the
death rate of the patient domestic
drudge is greater than that Of the sol
der. 30 says Doctor Dickinson of Obi
cago, who has investigated,
At the battle Of Santiago 10000 SOL
oilers were engaged and 800 were killed
"a death rate Of thres-tsnths Of per
cent. The death rate of the woman
who keeps house is considerably high
er. These are some Of the dangers
which the woman who 10 engaged In
the SlRvigh task Of housekeeping and
kitchen keeping, faces daily:
Death by scalding. by gasoline or gas
explosions, by falling down dark stair
ways, By heat prostration, by dis
ease contracted through bad sewerage
and unsanitAry kitchens, By exhaustion
and unendIng drudgeVy, by suicide in
duc~d by the hopeieSgneGs Of the daily
routtna- These are not fanciful dan
gers. Each Of them has it's f1ghtful
statistics Of death-an alarming NOR
tally.
And, strangely enough, these dangers
follow largely tn the wake Of the effort
Of modern invention to tighten the toll
Of the domestic drudge. Labor wing
devices have increased the risk.
The mothers Of the race are being
slaughtered by the progress Of civiIsa-
ton. Especially Ia this true Of the So
called middle class wives and wives Of
