Lifc's Sunset
Northwestern Advocate.


Old age reeps on unawares. /,
comes as come the autumn days. We
find they are upon us because the
boughs of the trees are growing thin.
The Christian grows old peacefully.
calmly. In growing old, he becomes
more noble, more tender. Because OF
his comforting hope in God, his life
is still sweet and sunny, full of song
birds and joy. Growing old with him
is growing ripe. Fruits in autumn
ripen beautifully. They grow rudy
with sunshine and dew, and then drop
into the basket of the fruit gatherer.
AS fruit in autumn ripen, so does the
Christian grow-old. AS his eyes grow
dim to earthly sights, he sees in clear
er vision the things that are to co ne.
AS his ears grow deaf to human voic-
es, he hears more distinctly the whis-
pers that come out of the invisible.
In finishing his life he goes down into
the shallow without fear. With him
the sunset, because he sees bright
ing out into a larger, fairer world IN
der those stars.
How inspiring are Gods promises
to old age. "They shall bring forth
fruit in old age. They shall be fat

| am with thee and to hoary hairs
will I carry thee" "And thine age
shall be clearer than the MONDAY.
Thou shalt shine forth; thou shalt be
as the morning" s'Thou shalt come
70 <Ix, n -, FILL ..o 1;Iyo ,a ~ eloolr
of corn mi in his season."
Old age should be sweet and fair
and serene-as quiet a process as the
sunset. The ideal death is that which
comes to old age. We go to the har-
Dor to bid adieu to our friend who is
going on a journey to Europe. We
are glad our friend is going to have
the pleasure and tie privilege of such
a journey, and we bid him good-by
without heart-break or heartache.
Even so, when one has reached a ripe
old age and his work is done, and the
time has come for him to get into the
mystic boat that move out into the
invisible, we a go down to the
shores and see him push off with no
more of heartbreak or heartache than
we have when at the harbor we say
"GOOd-by" to our friend starting on
his European journey. We know that
for him it is unspeakably better far
ther on. The best is yet to be-.
Browning says:
"Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life for which the first was made
Our times are in His hand
Who sayeth: "A whole 1 planned;
Youth shows but half; trust God, see all,
Nor be afraid"

BLOWING OUT A CANDLE.
The Effect q Pun Of Breath Has on
the Flame,

The Eject a Pun of Breath Has ON
the Flame.
A burning candle is a gas manufac-
tory on a small scale. The wax or
tallow is converted by the heat Of the
fame into gas, and in that form n
tiers into chemical combination with
the oxygen of the surrounding air.
This chemical union causes a very
high rise in temperature in the ele-
ments concerned. In fact, it produces
what we know as fame Of fire, which
Is simply the white hot molecules Of
carbon and oxygen. The gas making
process is started by the match in
lighting the candle and is afterward
continued by the flame itself.
Our breath acts in three way: Q) 1t
carries away the particles of gas bodi-
~. () 1t lowers their temperature at
the same time, so that they are no
longer capable of entering into chem
ical union with the oxygen. 81 The
breath contains carbonic acid gas,
which is incapable of supporting com
bustion and SO helps to ~eXtinguisb the
fame.

WONDERFUL INSECTS.
3ha Marvellous Ways Of Various
Species Of Ants.

Species Of Ants.
Lieutenant Colonel Sykes saw at Foo
nan ants carrying out grain to dry in
the sun. DIR. Lincecum in Texas found
ants which planted a certain seed bear
Ing grass, reaped it and carried the
grain into their cells, where they strip
ped it of chaff and packed it away.
The paper relating this was read by
Darwin before the Linnaean society.
Another observer has told us of ants
which grow mushrooms.
The foraging ants of Brazil and
western equatorial Africa are terrible
creatures. Elephants and gorillas fly
before them; the python takes care not
to indulge in a meal till he has salts
6eG himself that there are none OF
them about. They have a ''leisured
Glass;" much larger creatures, which ac-
company their march, like subaltern
officers in a marching regiment they
are<not fighters, however. One curious
conjecture as to their function has
been made. They are indigestible, and
birds spare the whole army lest they
should get hold of one of these tough
morsels. This, it must be allowed.
looks a little too strange.
Slaves the ants certainly have, bu
they do not make slave raids; the IL
a Of the inferior race are carried {
and Matched out. The browning ma
vel, however, is that the British sla re
owning ant, and he alone, makes his
slaves fight for him.-London Specta-

Pork Per Acre.

It may be unusual to estimate the
amount of pork that can be produced
from an acre Of certain crops. but it is
claimed that an acre of land in clover
will produce 500 pounds Of pork; peas.
375 pounds; corn, $50 ~ornds; oats,
800 pounds; barley. 10 pounds. and
wheat, 225 pounds. The value Of each
crop on n acre.. when converted into
pork, is as follows: Glover. $50: corn
$22.4O; peas. SIS; barley, $3.50: oats
1920, and wheat 50. estimating thu
pork at 4 cents per pound.-Farm Viz
