GEMS, OF THOUGHT.

The way to displace evil is to do good.

In a valiant suffering for others. not
in a slothful making others suffer for
us, did nObleness ever lie. Every noble
crown is, and on earth will ever be-, a
crown of thorns.-Carlyle.

Be not anxious about tomorrow. Dc

and do not weaken and distrust your
self by looking forward to things which

If you saw them.-Charles Kingsley.
You remember the famous line of Rob-
ert Browning, "God'si in His Heaven, all's
right with the world?" That was the
one source of the optimism of Brown
ing; but the optimism of Jesus went a
great deal deeper. 1t was the fact that
God was ir His earth, SO that the ravens
were fed and the lilies were adorned,
and SO that the very hairs of a mans
lead are numbered-it was that which
gave a radiant quietude to Christie.

Strength of nm EGG She'll.

Most people are aware of the power of
egg shells to resist external pressure
On the ends, but not many would credit
the result of tests recently made, which
appear to be genuine, as recorded in the
Scientific American. Eight ordinary
hens eggs were submitted to pressure
applied externally all over the surface
of the shell, and the breaking pressure
varied between 400 pounds and CTS
pounds per square inch. With the stress
applied internally to IL eggs, these gave
way at pressures varying between 80
and 65 pounds pei square inch. The
pressure required to crush the eggs
varied between 40 pounds and rs
pounds. The average thickness of the
shells was .013 of an inch.

Revealing Ourselves,

In the long u every man reveals
himself in one way or another. The
Scripture says: Behold your sin
will find you out" 1t is just as true
that a mans goodness will find him
out. The LORD tells his followers not
to let their left hand know what their
right hand doeth, an injunction which
applies particularly to the individual
who is disposed to advertise his good
deeds, but is no contradiction of the
truth that in time good deeds as well
as evil, somehow discover themselves.

How to Prevent svarming.

In answer to an inquiry as to how
to prevent bees from swarming. Elias
Fox, in Bee Gleanings, says: 81 have
thought of this a great deal; and the
more think of it the more firmly l am
convinced that we all have non-swarm-
ers if properly manipulated. In other
words, l believe that, instead of it's be-
ing natural for bees to swarm, it is
the reverse. OF course, there are ex-
ceptions to all rules; but swarming
according to nature is the exception
(barring C~arniolans). Give your queens
plenty of room as needed at the proper
time, and the workers the same, and |
will guarantee the rule will be no
swarming-at least in this latitude. I
presume these few remarks will cause
the beekeepers to swarm; but try this
simple method and you will hive your
selves automatically.

A TALK ABOUT EGGS.
Very little Difference In Nutritive
VaIue of the Product of Vari-
Gus Kinds of Fowls.

The Maine experiment station has
been examining into the composition
and physical characteristics of different
kinds OF eggs and finds that duck eggs
have apparently the smallest proper
ton of shell, the shell in this case be-
ing about 1916 per cent. OF the whole
weight of the eggs. The average of "a

having an average of ia per cent. of

makes eggs a very valuable food. Most

and guinea fowls eggs, to over II in
the eggs of ducks and geese. The pro-

in the nutritive value of the different

E SALT.
Farm stock, which Ii HcrbivOrOuo,
Should BE Sailed Regularly to
Insure Good Health.

Prof. %Shepperd, Of North Dakota,
has been collecting data concerning the
much discussed question of whether
salt is essential to the health of farm
animals. The following are some OF
the facts he has obtained:
C~arniverous animals do not use salt,
the reason being that they eat the
blood with the food and the blood con-
tains the amount Of salt necessary for
the system.
The Esquimaux of Greenland do not
use salt because they live mostly on
seals and carefully plug up the wound
when a seal is killed so as to prevent
the loss of blood. The blood contains
more salt than any other part Of the
body.
Among the North American Indians
the hunting and fishing tribes did not
use salt, and for the same reason,
while the Indians practicing agricul-
ture along the Mississippi and in Mex.
leo were salt u and fought
for the possession of the salt springs.
Herbivorous animals universally re-
HuAAO ooiI oIio IA IldNCl lohS 1
tances for it. The reason, according
to Prof. Shepperd, is that the cereals
n legumes upon which these animals
live contain very little salt, but a large
proportion of potash. Potash, or more
properly speaking, the salts or COM
binations of potash, drive out the
sodium chloride, or common salt,
tbra,,oh tIo 1y;I,or, o-l Lo, II
dition of common salt must be given
to supply the lack of it in the food.
Blood, flesh and milk contain but lit.
tie Of these potash salts, hence the
small need of salt when animals sub
sist on either of the above.
Men and animals living largely on
rice as a substitute for potatoes use
comparatively little salt, the reason
being that rice contains but little Of
the salts of potash, and, therefore,
there is not a demand among rice eat
ers for common salt. Potatoes are
very rich in potash, and hence potato
eaters always want common salt, the
potash having a tendency to drive
the small amount of common salt in
potatoes out of the system, and hence
a surplus must be given. This is an
important suggestion to our readers
who have kidney trouble and who
would likely be relieved considerably
if they were to abandon the use Of
potatoes and substitute rice.
The conclusion drawn is that ell
animals that live on grains and
grasses should be regularly sailed.
Salt given in excess acts as a sort Of
poison, creating violent purging. but
given in small quantities is helpful to
all men who do not live on a flesh
diet and to all herbivorous animals.

GODS INVITATION.
Through Our Daily e and the Ez-
p~erience of Gods Continual Pro-
vision Comes Hearts Rest.

"
The mercy of God Is free, but it is not
cheap. The greatest Of heresies is to
deny Gods will to save, but next to IL
Is that other heresy which asserts that
sin is no affront or trouble to God and
involves no cost to Him or to the man
whom He forgives. The careless, easy
going, morally Indifferent deity OF some
mems thoughts is neither the Jehovah of
the Old Covenant nor the Heavenly Fa-
Their Of the New. The death of Christ
is both Gods protest against sin and His
proof of will to save the sinner. says
Congregationalist.
When God invites there are no limits
to His wish to help. The prophet rightly
lnterprets Gods thoughts when he uses
the most inclusive of all pronouns, "Ho,
every one Yet in the nature of the
case there is a limit on our side in our
desire. Water and bread are for the
thirsty and hungering; the invitation
is for those who feel a hearts desire for
what God gives. Even God cannot help
the self-satisfied except by destroying

His help. Christ both enlarged His mis-
l o and stated it's necessary limitations
when He said: Il am not come to call the
righteous. but sinners to repentance"
h scribes and pharisees would never
have enlarged the borders of Gods mercy
to include sinners they despised. And
here is n of the ironies of Christ, in
speaking of the righteous" to men in
whose idolized Scriptures was the ordi-
nance and record of a continual sin-Ct-
ferlng and whose ritual worship culmi-
mated in a day of atonement for the sins
of all the people.
coos invitation pledges satisfaction to
our -hunger and thirst. Jesus renewed
the promise in like terms: Blessed are
they that hunger and thirst after right
eousness, for they shall be filed" What
the hnal satisfaction of the soul in right
eousness may be we cannot know, in the
meantime we must take Gods promise in
the terms of the image He Himself has
chosen. There is food for every hunger.
There is water for every thirst. How
often did Christ say: According to
your faith be it unto you" He who
desires to be pure, shall be pure. He
who longs to be honest shall be true. He
who follows after love shall be loving.
Ours is an ever-present, ~ever-helpful God
from Whom the renewal of our desires
from day to day obtains continually re-
newed provision.
Through this renewal of our daily need
and the experience of Gods continual
provision comes hearts rest. We do not
ind our satisfaction because we have be-
come like God through independence of
all changes in our life, but because we
trust in Him and He sustains us. Gods
invitation does not sever US from God.
it makes us consciously His loving and
cooperating children. We can never be
Independent Of His sustaining care; but
faith and love make our dependence JOY

glorified. For it is to the laboring and

SERVICE O GOD,
ordinary Duties Are the Means OF
Discipline In the Highest Quail
tiles of Character.

The fear of the Lord is the begin
ming of wisdom" There is a depth of
educational philosophy in this inspired
statement. says Bishop j. H. Vincent.
Our young people ought to be trained
from the beginning to make use of
educational advantages as religious
opportunities. They should be
guarded against combining all religious
inspirations and aims to Sabbath
hours and Sabbath services. There
should be no break between Sabbaths.
The cable of Divine influence should
stretch through the seven days. send
ing out wires to touch with their Di-
vine charm every hour of every day.
What is true of study is also true
of worldly labor. Kitchen-work, shop
work, teamwork, as well as school
work, are Divine duties; they hide
pearls in their rough shells; they, are
means Of discipline in the highest
qualities of character. Through the
faithful discharge of such plain 'du-
ties comes some of the sweetest and
mightiest energies from the Heavens.
The young convert should be guarded
against the fearful heresy, that when
he leaves the hour of song and prayer
and revival power and goes to his
homely service in the shop or field, he
is imperiling his spiritual life by leav-
ing the place where spiritual power
especially belongs. Honest service for
God, with pure motives and the spirit
of prayer in the lowliest places, is a
means of grace, without which, as col
lateral and supplementary agencies,
devotional hours are absolutely worth
less.

Grain for Young Lambs.

Lambs should have grain from the

is the correct way to manage lambs. A

First LAYING of Ducks.

Our experience with ducks is that they
do not make any nests at the first laying
or early in the spring. and if it is desired
to get these eggs, the ducks must be
penned up every night, as they lay
very early in the morning. If run
ming out, they will lay in the brook
or wherever they may be. Later in the
summer some of them will make nests
and will probably get broody. Straw
or leaves or almost anything will serve
as material out of which to make nests.

A cheap and very serviceable wire
stretcher can be made as follows: Take
a ive-sixteenths inch rope about seven
feet long, on one end put a clevis and
fasten to a spoke in a ear wagon

not run back. On the other end of
the rope put a mower guard and put
wire in this; if it should slip put a
claw hammer on wire in front of the
guard and behind a barb; now turn
the wheel and the hub will act as a
windlass, and the wire can be stretched
very tightly and quickly.-Midland

sober Thought.

When a man is tempted downward
he ought to stop and think. If some
selfish consideration entices him toward
the abyss he should wait for the sober
second thought, but when his nobler
feelings are aroused and the angels of
God allure him upward he ought to
act with instant energy. No man should
think twice as to whether or not he
should do a generous deed or fulfill his
higher conyictions.-Rev. N. D. Hills.
