Do you hear?
What do you say

A short life need not be at all one
of but small influence. A short story
or sermon has frequently more effect
than the more lengthy. 1t is only
speaking from human standpoint to
say that life is prematurely closed
which covers but portion of the time
allotted by the psalmist. Our Lord $
public ministry occupied but three
short years. yet at their close He de
clared finished that most stupendous
work-the redemption of the world
Great achievements are permitted a
few. but boundless opportunities of in
fuence are imposed on all, for we are
living epistles known and read of all
men, and our living breaches more elo-
quently than our words. If therefore
to live is for Christ to shine in us, our
lives are but the working ont of the di-
vine plan. and when in accordance with
that plan we are called away who shall
say that the "Well done" leaves room
for doubt as to the completion of the
task assigned Thomas Leiper Hodge

A SLAVE TO HIM.

strong lads will rob him of his brayado
Above all, the love of home must be
fostered in him, and this can best be
done by making home pleasant place
where he is not perpetually squelched
or expected to have the qualities of a
girl. but where he is appreciated as
one of the protectors of the household
and where he has comfortable quarters
of his own in which he can receive his
chums.
The overgentle boy, on the other
hand, needs different treatment. He
should be encouraged to drop books
and choose his friends among the real
ly alive" boys of the neighborhood
and never among dreamers like him
self. If possible he should be sent to a
military school or made to join some
athletic organization His sensitive
ness should not be hundred and his
spirit should be aroused-if necessary
by sharp treatment Above all. he
should never be coddled by his mother
and she should never be slave to him.
More than other boys, he should be
taught to swim, to sail boat. to shoot
and to depend on his own resources.
If necessary he should even be entirely
separated from his books and sent out
in the woods to rough it. Manliness is
far more important than book knowl
edge to man. 1t helps him through
half the difficult situations in life and
wins for him the respect and esteem of
his fellow men.

BOTTOM OF TOPPING BENCH.

which are also four inches wide, one
inch apart. Nail firmly and clinch the
nails, placing the outside strips flush
with the ends of the crosspieces. as the
first cut shows. Around the edge nail q
six inch strip, and the topping bench is
done.
When ready to begin topping place
this bench on top of two crates If you
wish to sit at your work or on top OF
two barrels II you wish to stand In it
empty the onions from the crates. AS
you pour out each crate rustic the
onions around, and all the dirt and
other small stuff which may have been
gathered up with them will pass
through the Slated bottom The rus
Ting will brighten up tie onions won
derfully. The bench will hold when
heaped up six crates, or nine bushels.
Place one of the crates you have emp
tied at your left, and, sitting erect on
crate, you are ready for operations.
To begin with, you must have a sharp
knife, and keep it sharp, as dull one
will surely tear the skin of the onion,
and as soon as that is done it begins
to rot. 1t may seem a simple operation
to cut off an onion top, but there is
right way and wrong one. The wrong
way is to seize the onion and cut the
top off by drawing the knife toward
the body. This cuts the top off on the
opposite side from your body and tears
the onion down the other side The
right way to top Is to hold the onion
firmly In the left hand and with the
knife seize the top an inch from the
bulb and cut up. This makes a clean
cut through the top.
Never top onions close to the bulb
unless you want them to begin to grow
at once, and do not top them until you
want to market them, as they keep bet
ter with the tops on. In the old way,
unless spread thin, this rule does not
apply as the tops draw moisture,
which causes the onions TO heat and
mold, so that they rot and spoil. With
the crate system the onions never heat
or mold, not even if they are put In
with the tops entirely green. They
will dry out and come out splendidly
any time before the next summer.
Handle onions as you would eggs at
all times, for a bruise or cut will make
them rot By this way of topping
good spry boy will top six bushels an
hour, and he will not feel half as tired
as in the old way.
There Is large shrinkage In onions
from keeping. not only from rot, but
by shrinkage of the bulbs themselves.

than potatoes.
