Lambs Are Ideal Cleaners.

a little army of laborers in my stubble
fields in the fall; the last two seasons
they became very fat. Imagine each of
them picking up weeds, wheat, barley
and oat heads twice as fast as a man is
able to. They not only gather it,
thrash it, grind it, self-feed it, furnish
manure, haul it to the field and spread
1t very evenly, but do not charge me
one cent for it even boarding. them
selves while doing so. They comply
with and also help me to comply with
the command: Gather up the frag-
ments that remain that nothing be
lost."-American Cultivator.

MRS. FOX RESTORED PEACE
A Little Story from Animal Land
Which Contains a Good Moral
for Boys and Girls.

Mr.. Lion lived next door to Miss
Kangaroo. He was very fond of roar
ing, and she was a very v lady.
One day. when Billy Fox went to take
the milk TO her house, she told him
that Mr.. Lion had roared so suddenly
and so loud that he made ner jump
and lose her false tooth out of her
mouth.
Billy Fox went home and told his
wife. He said he was going to tell
Mr.. Lion, and have him stop roaring
SO. No. indeed. don't do that" said
Mrs. Billy Fox. They'll both be an
cry. I'll go and talk to them and fix
it all up"
So Mrs. Billy Fox put on her little
foxy bonnet and went to call on Mr..
Lion. She told him that Miss Kan

when she heard him roar she forgot

ly so of the pinetree lizard, or, as 1t
is often called. the fence lizard. 1t is
true that the lizard has teeth. but they

~ Hartman received the following
letter:
MY wife had been suffering from a
complication of diseases for the past rs
years.
"Herca Isl had bafied the skill ofsome
OF the most noted physicians. One of
her worst troubles was chronic consti-
patton of several years standing.
"Sh also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a
w~oman-change of life. In June, 1895,
l wrote to you about her case. You ad-
vised a course of Peruna and Manalin,
which we at once commenced, and have
to say it completely cured her. She
firmly believes that she wouldhave been
dead only for these wonderful remedies,
about the same time 1 wrote you
about my own case of catarrh, which
had been of 25 years standing. Attimes
| was almost past going. 1 commenced
touse Peruna according to your i~nstruc-
tions and continued it's use for about a
year, and it has completely cured me.
"YOur remedies do all that you claim
for them, and even more. Cafarrh
cannot exist where Peruna Is taken
according to directions. Success to
you and your remedies"

NOT WORDS, BUT CONDUCT
The Best Proof of the Christian Re-
hgion Is the Daily Life of
the Christian.

The best proof of the divinity of the
Christian religion, says John H. Vincent.
is the daily life of the Christian him
self; not his words and professions. but
his conduct and spirit; not his Sunday
garb and service, but his everyday tone:
not his church ways, but his home
walk. In the first third of the first
century the world saw the incarnate
God-the Word of God made flesh and
dwelling in human form among men.
The nineteenth and twentieth centu.
ries need no less than this. They must
see God manifest in the flesh, that
human eyes may now behold, and hui
man hands now handle the word of
life; that the supernatural may be
brought within Jul easy reach: that to
all inquirers the church may now say
as Jesus said to the disciples of John,
go tell the things which we do hear
and see," not deeds of healing wrought
in the flesh, but greater works than
these"-works of healing in the spirit,
evil passions subdued, bad habits
broken, burdens of sin removed, bless
ings of spiritual life bestowed, stead
mess of purpose and experience
through all outward vicissitudes made
clear to a witnessing world. A life
thus setting forth the power of Christ
in this present time is worth more
than all the books of argument and all
the mt and lecture courses of a
century in favor Of Christianity. 1t is
another word Of God, a living epistle
read and known of all. 1t is a silent,
present, unshadowed, unanswerable
demonstration. 1t makes doubt impos-
sible. Men simply feel it's force and
are silent-then turn to pray.

HELPFUL AND TRUE.

Prayer is a reaching out toward God.
Amos R. Wells.
No man is a failure who does his
best.-United Presbyterian.
No life overflows with joy that has
room only for it's own cares.-Ram's
Horn.
Put Christ's love to the trial. and
put upon it our burdens, and then it
will appear love indeed; we employ not
His love and, therefore, we ltnow it
not.-Samuel Rutherford.
1t is not His death, as an incident in
the remote past, however significant it
may be; it Is the Lord Himself. appeal
ing to us in the virtue of His death.
who assures us Of pardon and restores
our souls.-James Denney.
Let, then, our prayers be ''the key
that opens the day, and the lock that
shuts the night" and also from morn
ing to night III staff and stay in all
our labors, enabling us to go cheer
fully up to the mount of God.-Canon
Farrar.
Or. Alexander MacLaren, speaking
of the attributes of the Christian, says:
Giving is essential to the complete
ness of Christian character. 1t is the
browning grace, because it is the man
Hesitation of the highest excellence. 1t
is the result of sympathy, unselfsh-
ness, of contact with Christ, Of drink
ing in of his spirit"
There is no mystery whatever about
happiness. Put in the right ingred-
tents. and it must come out. HE that
abideth in me %bringeth forth
much fruit" and bringing forth much
fruit is happiness. The. infallible re-
cipe for happiness, then. is to do good;
and the infallible recipe for doing
good is to abide in Christ.-Drummond.

The Business of Farming.

The same elements enter into the
any other calling successful. There
must be the opportunity, the brains,
the common sense, the energy and the
weather. with a modicum of luck, all
OF which enter into other occupations.
To win there must be a suficiency of
persistent, intelligent hard work, to-
gether with the exercise of a bit Of
plain everyday common sense.-Mid-
land Farmer.

Making the Gift Good.

A good receiver is rarer than a good
giver. Though not a whole truth, the
sentiment of a German poet is sug-
gestive indeed: "Wha the gods give
is neither good O bad; the receiver
first makes the gift" He makes ii
when he accepts it, and in the spirit
fn which he accepts it. God gives us
free air, water, light, food, and the
products and forces and beauties of
nature, with infinite bounty. How
often do we take them to our W de-
struction! We live by these things,
Their turn a large part of our lives into
the devils service. Thus we make the
divine gift an evil thing. Wonderful
power this, that Gods love has put into
u perverse hands! Shall we make the
gift GOODS. S. Times.

virtue: One with God is a majority.

CUTICURA OINTMENT
The Worlds Greatest Skin Cure and
Sweetest Emollient-Positively
U~nrivalled.

Cuticura Ointment is beyond question
the most successful curative for torturing,
distiguring humors of the skin and scalp,
including loss of hair, ever compounded,
in proof Of which a single amounting with
it, preceded by a hot bath with Cuticura
Soap, and followed in the severer cases by
a dose of Cuticura Resolvent Pills, is often
sufficient to afford immediate relief in the
most distressing forms of itching, burning
and scaly humors, permits rest and sleep,
and points to a speedy cure when all else
fails. 1t is especially so in the treatment
of infants and children, speedily soothing
and healing the most distressing cases.
