s~elf-Propelled Cars.

In England the self-propelled rail-
way car is coming into extensive use,
especially for branch lines where the
traffic is so small as not TO warrant the
operation of steam locomotives or the
application of electricity. Recently
one of the largest electrical manu-
featuring firms in America has ordered
in England an oil engine for this pur-
pose, which will be used with a
dynamo to generate current for ordi-
nary car motors. The advantage of
such an installation is that there is no
loss Of fuel when the car is not in
motion, and that the motor can be put
into operation ct an instants notice.
The machinery is placed in a small
compartment at the end of the car, aud
requires but little attention. Such
cars, driven by various forms of
motors, have been found of especial
value in England to bring passengers
to main electric and steam lines. and
it would seem as if there was an equal
field of usefulness for them in the
United States.-Harper's Weekly.

In the early days of Christian life a man
of God gave us counsel to this effect: The
word of God and prayer are the two fun
damental means of grace. Through the
word God speaks to US; IN prayer we
speak to God. These means of grace must
be used in due proportion. If we read the
word and restrain prayer we h become
doctrinaire, dry, self-assertive, without
m~ellowness, void of JUNCTION. Il We pray
and neglect reading the word we shall be
come fanatical, uncertain, blown about by
every wind of doctrine, following preten-
tious teachers of odd and p~erverse things
to draw disciples after themselves. In
either case, unbalanced and pharisaie. We
have been thankful ever since for this
wise counsel, and now commend it espe-
cially to young believers. We cannot grow
in grace and the knowledge OF the Lord
Jesus Christ apart from daily meditative
reading of the word OF God and c%ontinu-
ing constant in prayer.-London Christian.

Look Ahead.

There is glory for the time to come A
great many people seem to forget that the
best is before US. DR.. Bonar ence said
that everything before the true believer is
glorious" This thought took hold on
my soul. and l began to look the matter
up and see what l could find in Scripture
that was glorious hereafter.
l found that the kingdom we are going
to inherit is glorious; our crown is to be a
Grown of glory;"" the city We are going to
inhabit is the city of the glorife6s the
songs we are going to sing are the songs OF
the glorifed; we are to wear garmentsN
glory and beauty" our society VIII be
the society of the gloriied; our rest is to
be glorious" the country to which we
are going is to be full of the glory of God
and of the Lamb.
There are many who are always looking
on the backward path and mourning over
the troubles through which they have
passed; they keep Juggling the cares and
anxieties they have been called on to bear
and are forever looking at them. Why
should we go r%eeliDg and staggering under
the burdens and cares of life when we have
such glorious prospects before us?-D. l..

Horses Must Have Oats.

Oats seem 10 be the natural grain for
horses, and every attempt to substt.
tute any other grain, in considerable
quantities, always brings trouble for
The horse. There is too much corn
fed on the average farm, and while it
is admitted that when one grows corn
in abundance it is a most natural thing
to use it, there is no doubt but what
all farm animals have more corn than
they ought, and this is particularly
true of horses.
The writer urges farmers not to
make this mistake, for they do it at the
expense Of the years of the horse, even
if serious trouble does not result imme-
diately. Sell corr enough to. buy what
oats the horse should have. An occa.
sional feed of cornmeal, bran and oil
meal will not injure the horse. but the
bulk of the grain given it should be
oats.

The oppOser of Christ.

An unloving spirit is the worst treachery
to Christ that we can offer. How often de
those who are full of good works for the
Lord stop to think of this? The harsh
word spoken by the busy teacher or super
intendent or pastor is a travesty N the
profession such a one makes. For Christ
is one with God, and God is love. Unlove
is anti-Christ. We cannot serve Christ
while unlove for any child of His is in our
hearts or words. "And if l have the gift
of prophecy, and know all mysteries and
all knowledge; and if / have all faith. so
as to remove mountains, but have not love,
l am nothing. And if l bestow all my
goods to feed the poor, and if l give my
body to be burned, but have not love. it
prohteth me nothing" This is My COM
mandment. that We love one another.'

Cost of Spraying.

The cost of spraying apple trees
three times with bordeaux mixture at
the Maine Experiment Station is from
ten to fifteen cents per tree. Baldwin
apples on sprayed trees showed ninety.
seven per cent. of the fruit free from
scab, while unsprayed trees showed
only sixty-seven per cent. of the fruit
free from scab. On full-grown trees
it is reckoned that the average crop
is about three barrels, which would
give a gain of a barrel of clear hand
some fruit as a result of the spraying.
The profits Of the operation, however,
vary, as some years there is but lit
tie scab, while other years it is very
prevalent.

Work and Poultry.

Give fifty hens one acre and they
will need but little help-not as much
as is required for a cow when she is
on the pasture. Why would not a
farm on which the hens can have plen.
ty of room pay? Then there is the
work. If one attempts to avoid work
it is best not to begin. The hardest
work the farmer can do is TO rise at
4 o'clock in the morning, milk the cows,
Tin winter ship the milk, feed the
cows, clean out the stalls, and repeat
the same at night. including Sundays.
1t is really inconsistent for a dairyman
to complain of work with poultry. as
the keeping of cows to supply milk is
hard work at all times.

Pay Regardless of Half Holiday

r. J. Tracewell. controller of the
treasury, Washington, signed an opin-
ion to the Secretary of the Navy in
which he holds that per diem employees
of the navy yard at Washington are
entitled, under the order of the Secre-
tary of the Navy excusing them from
work on Saturday afternoons in July,
August and September. to pay regard
less of the fact that they have not been
at work. He held that under existing
law and the authority inherent in the
Office of the President, the President
was authorized TO grant Saturday af-
ternoons as holiday to such employees
with pay.
The controller goes on to decide that
under the present law the per diem
employees of the navy yard are not en-
titled to pay for Labor Day or Inaugu-
ration day without they work on those
DAYS. in the absence of an order of the
President making such days holidays
and excusing them from work. He
also saws that no distinction should be
made between the clerical force in the
navy yard and the men at work in the
shops in SO far as their pay is concern
ed for these holidays.

Must Travel Shortest Route

The controller of the treasury at
Washington has decided that young
men who receive appointments to
West Point must be careful TO take
the shortest route to the institution
and observe other regulations of the
War Department if they expect TO be
repaid their expenses by the govern
ment. He says that the same rules APP
ply to them as to army officers, and
that is that the government will not
pay the expenses of travel except over
the shortest route.
The opinion of the disbursing officer
at West Point was that the appointees
should not be held to such strict ac-
count, inasmuch as they are not famil-
lar with the rules as TO such pay
ments. THE controller grows some

why the appointees are not supplied

expenses at the time of their appoint
ment, the information being sent at
