Force Of Christian ExamnI...

Sir Henry NJ. Stanley, the African
explorer, told, himself, how he was
converted by DR.. Livingstone. His
story is as follows: Il went to Africa
as prejudiced against religion as the
worst infdel in London. To a re-
porter like myself, who had only to
deal with wars, mass meetings and
political gatherings, sentimental mat
tiers were quite out of my province.
But there came to me a long time
Tor reflection. l was out there away
from a worldly world. l saw this
solitary old man there. and / asked
myself: Why does he stop here in
such place? What is it that in
spires him.? For months after we
met l found myself listening to him,
wondering at the old man carry out
the words, Leave all and follow Me-
But little by little, seeing his piety,
his gentleness, his zeal, his earnest
ness, and how he went quietly about
his business, l was converted by him,
although he had not tried in any way
to do it."

The Walls Of a Hoo pen.

To secure the best lining for hog
pen it would be well to cover the stud
ding with cheap lumber, and fill be-
tween the studs with dry sawdust or
planer shavings. On the cheap lumber
tack tarred paper, tapping the edges

strapping and cover this with matched
lumber. A wall built in this way
should be warm provided the work is
we'll done and the doors and windows
fit properly and the ceiling is close.
1t is a very difficult matter to keep
the walls of a hog pen dry in cold
weather without artificial heat or very
thorough ventilation. Some hog raisers
provide openings for ventilation sufi-
cient to keep the pen dry and con-

Wealth and LONGEVITY.

The late Prof. Owen threshed out
the question of wealth and longevity
thoroughly. II was his conclusion that
if it be true that the dietary of the
rich is opposed to health, the absence
of Worry, Of anxiety over the living OF
themselves and their families, the alb
sence Of severe toll. and the like
more than compensate for any diges
tive troubles they may incur Prob
ably most rich people eat too much
and their dietary is too stimulating
but this is less dangerous to life than
is frequent hunger with overwork
anxiety and exposure. A happy me
dunn. of course, is the suggestion Of
common sense and experience.

The Choice of a VIII.

A German professor selects a wo-
man who can merely stew prunes-
not because stewing prunes and read
ing Proclus make a delightful har-
mony, but because he wants his
prunes stewed for him and chooses to
read Proclus by himself. A fitness OF
sympathy, sharing of life one with
another, is scarcely ever looked for
except in a narrow, conventional
sense. Men like to come home and
find blazing fire and a smiling face
and an hour of relaxation. Their
serious thoughts and earnest aims in
life they keep on one side. And this
is the carrying out Of love and mar.
riage almost everywhere in the world
and this the degrading Of women by
both.-From One of Mrs. Browning's
Letters, 1876.

his pocket he stopped and dipped the
paper in some of the soil water thar
was standing in a COW track. To the
owners establishment the blue paper
changed TO a red color as soon as II
was immersed.

son of good insulation, the ice may be
stored close to the walls. In order to

feet of space should be left above for

an air space for ventilation. The ice
should be cut in uniform blocks and
packed as solidly as possible. filling
