tened inside the sides-that is. the
nails are to be drawn through the
sides into the ends. The ends are two
inches wide, but are made shorter
than the sides to permit the water to
flow out under them. The top has
only one nail or screw in it, SO that
it may be slid around so that one may
see inside.
For a pulley use a spool. AS the
hole in the spool will be found too
large, fill it up with a wooden plug
and bore a hole through the plug. II
no boring tools are handy, burn out
the plug with a large needle or hat
pin, heated in the gas jet.
For the hose pipe a short piece of
metal tube is very necessary, for it can
be pinched smaller at the end which
is stuck in the box next the wheel,
and will give the water more force.
The small bit of gas jet which screws
onto the gas chandelier and which
holds the tip is always to be fount
about the houses where gas is used
and is just the thing needed.
One important thing must not be
overlooked in making the motor. The
axle, when run through the box, will
become stuck when the box swells
unless the hole Is large enough. The
best way is to make the holes very
much too large and cover them with
tin in which holes just the right size
have been made. When so arranged
the motor will work beautifully and
at a great speed.-Chicago Intel

make both cuts from the same side of
the tin square.
Bend back the small piece between
the cuts. Slip each paddle into the slit
made for ii, and you will find the dou-
bled up tin will just fill the saw cut
nicely. The axle of the wheel must be
a very straight metal rod about six
inches long. A telegraph wire makes
an excellent axle. Force the rod
through a hole made in the center of
the wheel. When the wheel is wet the
axle will be found firmly wedged in it.
The box to inclOse the wheel Is
necessary not only to support it, but

of the stable and the inn are still to be

A large part of the world to-day has
its Christmas, but has it the Christ?
1t celebrates the browning event of the
ages. but does it appreciate all that
that celebration should mean? Is it
the stable where the Christ has been
given place and welcome? or is it the
inn crowded. and busy, and resting in
ease n comfort with no place OF
provision made for the Christ? Our

~ HE stable typifes open-hearted re-
/ ception of the Christ, willing sur
render of the best We have to the Christ,
and acceptable service rendered for the
Christ. The first essential need is the
making room for Jesus. The crowded
condition of the inn may find it's coun-
terpart in our lives where the cares and
activities Of this life would crowd out
the claims of God upon us, and make us
promo to turn the Christ away with the
excuse that there is no room, that we are
busy providing for the present guests
who have found Judgment with US. To
reject Christ does not require that we
show open enmity and hatred towards
Him. Christ was not driven from the
door Of that inn at Bethlehem in cruel
hatred. 1t was enough that Mary and
Joseph should be told, perhaps ever so
politely and regretfully, that there was
no room. 1t served the same purpose OF
shutting out the Christ, and so with you
and me. We may know of no bitter op-
position or hatred ruling in the heart
which keeps the Christ out. All that is
necessary is to be so filled and crowded
with other things as to lead us to turn
Him politely away, and say: Some
day, when WI are not so pressed for
room and time. we will be glad to well
come you" But Jesus does not wait on
such invitation. The opportunity OF
sheltering the Christ c9me to the inn
but once, and that opportunity lost was
lost forever, and so it may be with you.
Jesus zones at this Christmas time. He
seeks for room and shelter in your heart.
Will yOu,nOt make place for Him there
1t once, even though every other thing
has to be turned out and given up?

II He lact that Christmas, the anniver-
L sarE Of the birth Of Christ. is cele-
bratcd is not enough. One may share
in all the activities and pleasures OF
the day, and still be an inmate of the
inn, and a stranger to the true signif-
canoe of the birth in the stable. One
may hear the wonderful Divine mystery
whereby the SOE of God left Heaven and
became flesh through the operation of
the Holy Spirit, and still be blind to the
DIVINE light that filled the stable re-
ceSSfs. Think you not that the inn was
astic next DAY with the news of the
events which had t%ranspired in the
stable? Think you not that every one
was talking Of the Babe in the manager
OF the story Of the shepherds and their
visit in the, early morning? Ere the
mornings sun had climbed the Beth
lehem hills and gilded the distant noun
tain heights with its golden s~pIendor.
Iteel sure hat the mighty secret of that
stable became known net ONLY TO all in
the inn, but to all in the little village
or Bethlehem. And so to-day the story
OF the birth of the Christ is known ann
rehearsed among men, they celebrate
the event with eagerness and 10y. ana
still the Christ is absent, kept out BIZ
the crowded condition of the inn. The
news OF the birth of Jesus has reached
the inn n it freely joins in the cele-
bratlon OF the event, but the stable
where room is found for Jesus is the
pace where the true celebration is hello.
You may be content with the festivities
OF the inn, and never care to enter into
the deeper joys of the stable where
Jesus is. AS Of old, it is the question
OF the stable or the inn. Where are Won

Guilty. On the back Of his town lot
he mad room for six fruit trees. He
planted naval oranges n peaches and

land sturdy. he grated and budded
'other varieties into them. The opera
'ttons were all successful, and now Mr..
Vaughn has numerous varieties of fruit
that ripen at all times of year and fur
inish an abundance for table use. On
lone naval orange tree Mr.. Vaughn bud
ided a tangerine, a grape fruit, a lemon.
iand a blood orange. making with the
naval orange itself five kinds OF fruit
,on one tree. They all bear %profusely,
land the fruit is Of extraordinarily large
size. The peach trees were budded
with numerous varieties of early and
late peaches as we'll as apricots and
nectarines. These trees bear from the
first of July to the first OF November.
The plum trees nave been induced to
produce many kinds of plums. If all
the fruit raised from these six trees
came from individual trees Of their own
kind. 1t you'd tax something like q
