Something to Think About.

How to live comfortably with ones
neighbor-that is the problem; to avoid
the knocks and frictions which draw
lines to mems faces and too often con-
tract their souls. 1t is paradoXical, but
true, that the larger the soul becomes
the more room it creates for itself
Il margin of quietness in which it re-
mains untouched by petty jealousies
and hurts. BY the practice of charity
and unselfShness a life builds for it.
self "mcre stately mansions" wherein
it may dwell in peace.
A song in ones heart, a smile upon
ones lips, CHEEKY, wholesome message
of good will on ones tongue are woE-
derful helps to all kinds of people.
There are so many burdens of sorrow
and care and poverty and sin; so many
doubling, discouraged, tempted hearts.
To comfort and to make strong, to
lift up and to bless-are these not mis-
sions worth while? Try it, friend, and
prove how truly your own heart and
mind are cheered and made brave by
your very endeavor to carry sunshine
into dark places. e.

Two wears have passed.
Can't Resist Elm.

Children are sometimes more cum
ming than we think, and when say
we / am speaking of the men who
have right to know something Of chill
dren because of the parental RESPONSE
bilities they wear" said the man with
couple of youngsters. "Close OBJ
servation and experience have taught
me that disobedience. so far from being
offensive, is sometimes q virtue, q
virtue because of its cleverneSS and
because of the evident good nature Of
the breach. 1t would, in my judgment,
be decidedly brutal in some circum-
stances to scold child for diSobedi-
ence. Disobedience should be offensive
only when intended as an offense. when
it is wilful and purposeful defiance
of the parental injunction. 1 have
case in point which will illustrate per-
fectly what 1 mean. My little girl is
very fond Of sausage. / thought she
had CONSUMED enough for one sitting
and told her so. In few seconds she
bad slipped around behind me, and
showed her head up under my arm.
Papa she said, with mischievous
twinkle in her eye, lets play dog" and
as she said it she threw out chubby
hand and grabbed 4 piece Of sausage
and dashed away with it, laughing as
if she thought it the finest joke of the
season. What could l do? Stop the
laughter by scolding, and suppress the
evident good nature of it all? She
fianked me and got away with the
goods, and since it was evident she
meant 20 ofrensc, no disrcspect by her
diSobedience, there was nothing for
me to do but accept the situation and
laugh and frolic III her dogs game with
her. And so did. Wouldn't you act
in the same way when diSobedience
is put forth in such sunshiny Sarb:'-

would like some information as to how

Land for alfalfa should be very care.
fully prepared. 1t is well to start q
year in advance to get the land ready,
and unless it is naturally very deep and
porous it should be snbsoiled, and sub
soiling is best done in the fall Of the
year. 1t is also well to enrich the land
by growing a crop Of cowpeas ana
blowing them down before seeding to
alfalfa. The seeding may be done ap.
propriately about the first Of Septem.
Der; not later thai this. or the alfalfa
will not make a strong enough growth
to withstand the freezes OF winter.
Spring seeding may be practiced about
the first to the fifteenth Of March, de-,
pending a good deal on climatic CON.
ditions. 1t is generally best to wait
until danger Of hard freezing is past
1t is we'll to inoculate your alfalfa be-
fore seeding. This may be done by
obtaining some of the culture put up
by the experiment station and sent at
a very small cost to the farmers OF the
State upon application. AS a rule, It
is not necessary to inoculate land In
Tennessee for cowpeas or red clover.
Sometimes soy beans do much better
when inoculated, and the station hopes
to be in position to furnish the farmers
Of the State with the necessary germs
for inoculating soy beans.-knoxville

Blind People Use Most Gas.

when it comes to consuming gas
In large quantities blind people can
beat their seeing brethren all hollow,
said an inspector Of the Consolidated
Gas Company. Il know two families
where both husband and wife are
blind. Every jet is turned on full tilt
In their homes at night and is kept
going at that rate clear up to II
o'clock. Light and darkness are all
the same to the afflicted ones, but
they insist upon Illumination brilliant
enough for reception.
"And that partiality for light is not
a whim peculiar to those two couples.
All blind people feel that way. They
demand the light and in all private
homes and institutions where the
blind are cared for the gas bills
youch for their strange fancy."-New

Sirht Through Brick Walls,

DR.. Paul Sollier. director Of the San
atorium for Nervous Diseases at Bou-
logne-Sur-S Seine, tells rem&rk2b bic
story OF sight through brick walls and
around corners which he is studying in
one of his patients. The man, whose
nervous trouble began as the result Of
falling from train, is a good hypnotic
subject, and is being treated by sug-
Sestion. In the course Of treatment
DR.. Sollier accidentally discovered that
when hypnotized the man could see
him when his back was turned. In or
der to test this remarkable "eyeless
sight" the doctor made the following
experiment: Having as before
plunged the man into state Of deep
hypnosis, in the course Of cerebral
awakening, went into closet separ-
ated from the laboratory by 4 hall
staircase over sixteen feet wide..a wall
fifteen and one-half inches thick, and
preceded by a small vestibule having
access to gallery shut off by glass
door. When inside the closet l made
movement with my hand as if to
draw him toward me, and Immediately
he rushed to the door of the laboratory.
The noise he made because he was not
allowed to 90 out at once apprised me
of the success of the experiment.

MADE PETS OF RATTLERs.
Tennessee Farmers Odd Liking for
Venomous Snakes.


Joshua Fleener, aged 80 years, keeps
den of rattlesnakes at his home near
Richards postoffice, this county. He
has made pets Of snakes ever since
he was boy.
He has eleven rattlesnakes in his
den, and experienced some difficulty
in caring for the serpeuts during the
cold weather. Fleener lives in an old
fashioned house with the back wall Of
the fireplace on the outside OF the
building. The den, built Of stones, was
maGa with the chimney place as one
of t walls. The reptiles were placed
in t: s den during the cold weather,
and clly one died this winter as re-
suit C the cold.
Soi: etimes, when the chimney made
the den too warm, the serpents would
become angry and fight one another.
The snakes were all captured by Flee
ner in the woods near his home, and
they are all timber rattlers, a species
which is becoming rare in this state.

Not Ashamed of the Gospel.-Rom.
12-17

/. 1917.
Paul had purposed to go to Rome,
but was hindered. He went at last.
but only as prisoner. He had an
ambition to save the Roman as well
as the Jew. This evidences the thor
oughness of the remarkable change
in his spirit. He recognized that he
was debtor" to all men; that Is, that
the responsibility was on him to give
to all the opportunity to hear and ac-
cept the gospel. The reason for all
this was that he was not ashamed
Of the gospel" And the cause Of his
confidence in that which all other men
despised was in that it "was the
power Of God unto salvation"
It takes courage to champion an un-
popular cause When that cause is
maligned and misrepresented, when
it means social ostracism and peril to
life and liberty, it takes hero to
preach it. Such was Paul, and so was
the gospel in his day. There must
be a great reason for the aggressive
championship of dangerous doctrine.
To Paul the fact that the gospel was
the power of God unto salvation made
it not only a reason why he should ac-
cept it, but a further reason why he
should preach it and push 1t. 1t
ought TO be the same with us. Let
us ask and answer two or three ques-
tions:,

has revolutionized the nations 1t
has abolished slavery and supersti.
ton. 1t has saved uncounted millions.
II has reached US. 1t has brought
peace and pardon to our hearts. II
has brought life and immortality to
light. 1t has given us worthy ideal
for which to live. 1t has banished the
fear of death. 1t lightens the gloom
of the grave. 1t lights up the path
way of the poor and the needy. 1t
has brought only blessings where
curses abounded. 1t has done all
that is good, and nothing evil, for hu-
manity. 1t is the power Of God to
our own personal salvation. There
Is every reason to be satisfied with 1t;
there is no reason to be ashamed Of
It.
There Are Reasons Why Christ
Might Be Ashamed Of Us. How slow
of faith were we, how reluctant to
leave all and follow him! How negli-
gent of duty, and prone to grieve him,
have we been! How little glory we
have reflected upcn his cause, how
often silent when we should have
testified for him, how careless Of
speech when We should have been
CAREFUL If the Master Is not ashamed
of us, what possible reason can there
be in any company or condition to
be asian. I'd of him or his gospel?

NATURES soEreNINc loucHEs

YET stii) the wilding flowers would blow
The golden leaves would fall,
The seasons come. the seasons 60.
And God be good to all.
Above the graves the blackberry hung
In bloom and green its wreath
And harebe,ls swung as If they rang
The chimes OF peace beneath.
The beauty nature loves to share,
The gifts she hath for all,
The common light. the common air,
O'ercrept the graveyards wall.
1t knew the glow OF eventide,
The sunrise and the noon.
And glorifed and sanctifed
1t slept beneath the moon.
With flowers or snowhakes for its sod,
Around the seasons ran,
And evermore the love OF God
Rebuked the fear OF man.
Secure on Gods all tender heart.
Alike rest great and small:
WHY fear to lose our little part,
When He is pledged for all?
o fearful heart and troubled brain,
Take hope and strength from this
That nature never hints IN vain,
Nor prophesies amlss.
Her wild birds sing the same sweet stave
Her lights and airs are given
Alike to playground and the grave,
And over both Is Heaven.

Making o L avn.

Four things are required to make
good lawn: Time, soil, climate and In
telligent labor. In England they have
a saying that it requires 100 years to
make a lawn, and 200 years to make
good lawn. In this country, where we
are trying to make suburban homes
while you wait, and where a month or
two seems very long time, people are
too impatient. 1t speaks well for their
ambition that they want lawns as soon
as they move into their houses, but
they are really exacting too much. At
the very best, it requires no less than
three years to make presentable lawn,
and five or ten years to make what we
uncritical Americans call Z good lawn.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAV0RNO NOTES
JUNE eleventh.
Not Ashamed Of the Gospel.
Rom.

Not Ashamed Of the Gospel. Rom.
1: 1917.
Paul was in debt to Christ, in debt
for his life; but he was proud OF the
debt.
II Paul had been ashamed Of the
gospel he would have considered that
shame the most shameful thing of his
whole life.
We are not ashamed Of powerful
things, but of weak things. We shall
not be ashamed of the gospel If we
recognize 1t as the mighty, world
conquering agency which 1t really Is.
When Paul was proud Of the gos-
pel, it was not his own righteous
ness he was proud Of. but Gods.
Suggestions.
Not ashamed"-that is the empha'
sis Of under-statement. Really, there
was nothing Of which Paul was so
tremendously proud.
The pride in Christ Is exclusive
Of all other prides. God forbid.
said Paul, that / should glory IN
anything else"
prayer meetings is always OF what
Christ has done for us, not OF what
we have done for ourselves. Chris
tian testimony is always modest.
When we are very proud OF any
thing-as of some great victory OF
our political party, or some great
triumph of our country-we talk
about it great deal.
Illustrations.
When men are proud Of their
achievements they make a worlds
exposition to place them on show. So
the Christian will be glad to exhibit
Christ in his life.
There Is no more beautiful joy on
earth than the pride which a younger
brother takes in his noble older
brother. Now Christ Is our Elder
Brother.
No army wins victories unless it is
proud of it's general.
The Christian is like mirror re-
flecting a lovely face. How absurd
it would be II the mirror grew vain
Of the face, as if It were his own!
Questions.
I'm I always eager for chance to
sing Christs praises?
Am l giving Christ good reason to
be ashamed Of me?
Is my life, on the whole, satisfac-
ton TO Christ?
Quotations.
Is the seal upon my brow so un-
mistakable that always and every
where | am known to be Christ's sub
ject?-Havergal.
Loyalty to Christ means carrying
forward in our century the work He
began in His; not only worshipping
Him on our knees, but working with
Him on our feet.-Parkhurst.
There can be no beautifully SYM
metrical unfolding Of the new life,
without constant acknowledgment to
Him who is that Life.-Francis E.
Clark.

Value of Limo For Corn.

WE. G., Charlottesville, Va, writes:
Please tell me how to test land to see
il lime is needed. Do you think lime
would benefit land for corn?
1t is an easy matter to test land 50
as to tell whether it is acid or not.
Purchase from your nearest drug store
a package of blue litimus paper which
you should be able to get for i've
cents. Take a handful OF the soil to
be tested and moisten with rainwater
in a tin cup and insert strip of the
litimus paper. If it turns red quickly
it is an evidence that your land Is quite
acid; if it turns red slowly, that 1t Is
only slightly acid. In either case
lime should be applied. If it is very
acid heavy application would be ad-
visable, say fifty bushels. applied In
the caustic form. Purchase 1t when
freshly burned and distribute in heaps
in the field at suitable distances and
cover lightly with earth and allow to
slake. When thoroughly slaked, scat
ter it over the surface Of the ground
uniformly and incorporate with a har-
row. Lime. is not a fertilizer but is
stimulant and corrective OF certain
Objectionable conditions in the soil. 1t
also sets free plant food which is held
in unavailable forms, and may there
fore injure the land if used to excess.
An application of lime once in three
to five years is ample as rule. Land
intended for corn will be benefited BY
an application of lime. The test indi.
Gated is very easily made and it Will
pay you to ascertain whether your
soil is acid or not, and If it is, to make
an application Of lime.
