HYMNS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW.
"Our Master
BY JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.

(John Greenleaf Whittier, Haver.
hill, Mass, Dec. II, 1S07.-Hampton
Falls, N. H., Sept. 7, 1902, Quaker
poet, antislavery editor and agitator,
was q man whose beautiful catholicity
OF spirit is clearly seen in all the
hymns that the churches have adopted
from his poems. Perhaps the rapidly
growing popularity of his hymns is in
dicative of a spread in the churches Of
the spirit which he so earnestly advo-
Gated. The poem from which this
hymn is taken was first published in
1856. To-day it is one OF the best
loved and most representative hymns
OF the newer type. The whole of the
beautiful poem from which these stan.
zas are taken, entitled "Our Master u
should be read in order to fully appre.
ciate the poets spirit in the hymn.)
We may not climb the heavenly sleeps
To bring the Lord Christ down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps,
For him no depths can drown.
But warm, sweet, tender even yet
A present help is he;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
The healing of the seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch him in life's throng and press
And we are whole again.
Through him the first fond prayers are
said
Our lips OF childhood frame;
The last low whispers of our dead
Are burdened with his name.
o Lord and Master of US all,
| Whate'er our name or sign.
| We own thy sway, we hear thy call.
We test our lives by thine.

LITTLE KINKS BUT IMPORTANT.

When very heavy materials are to
be washed, such as hangings, table
covers, heavy wash dresses aud canvas,
it is frequently q great saving Of time,
energy, and of the materials them
selves to scrub them with q brush
rather than rubbing them on the
board. 1t avoids the constant lifting
and dipping, which is q strain.
Gas globes break very readily when
the ecrews holding them are screwed
on too tightly.
A carpet sweeper cannot do efficient
work unless its brush be kept clean.
Being out of sight, this is sometimes
neglected. 1t should, however, fire.

Use Both Hands.
Boston Globe.

That both hands were made to use
one is apt to realize in later years
when the hand that has carried the
burden OF labor through life begins to
grow lame and more or less unservice'
able.
If people would use both hands more
they would be surprised in how few
months they might attain to q fair
ambidexterity.
The best exercise is said to be in
writing with both hands. II is sur.
prising how soon the neglected hand
will respond if freely used.
1t is said that nature never made
any right.handed people. If q man
learns to write with his left hand all

ed unto him.
Carrying an umbrella in the left
hand, fencing, using spoon, parting
the hair and other unmanual exercises
are highly recommended to develop
both hands equally.

They think only OF their own selfish
pleasures - these women to whom
children are a nuisance, and these
men who cannot afford to marry on
six hundred year. 1t never seems
to occur to their enfeebled brains that
what we need is not semi detached
marriages, but men and women who
will love and reverence the ideal home
life, who will strive to understand that
mutual love, and that only, makes a
true marriage, and who will willingly,
even gladly, sacrifice personal folles
and selfish luxuries upon the altar of
stern duty. Given such men and
women, we have no need of "hand-
fasting" expedients, nor of Meredith.

"Men are proud OF their ability to
consume number Of strong cigars"
said cigar dealer reminiscently. "They
glory in it, even while they are wishing
they could break off the practice. And
that reminds me of story. Did you
ever stop to think what hard thing
it would he to smoke cigar continu.
ously, without removing it from the
mouth until it was all gone, or so short
that it could not be smoked conven.
iently"
The reporter said he never had.
"Well, there was a man in here
once who was making all sorts of
cracks about what a smoker he was.
Eighteen cigars a day was his limit.
There was quiet chap in here at the
time-One of those who will smoke
three cigars q day, no more, no less,
one after each meal, and enjoy every
inch of the weed. Well, he sort of
sized the bOastiul one up and made
the remark that he had a ten.spot that
was ready for the talkative one il he
could smoke q cigar down to within
one inch of the end without taking it
from his lips.
"That was easy for the boaster. He
said so, a: any rate, and he produced
his money. held the stakes and the
contest went on. The great smoker
lighted his weed, sat down and began
putting, a smile of confidence on his
face. He did very we'll, too, rolling
out great clouds OF smoke, and soon
there was half an inch of ash on the
tip of his perfecto. But from that on
the smoker was little uneasy. He
sort OF rolled his cigar around be-
tween his lips and his putting came
slower. When he had burned an inch
of it he began to walk up and down
the room. Some one gave him the
laugh, and he started in putting hard
again, but it was such an effort that l
felt sorry for him. He began to have
trouble with his breathing.
"The sweat came out on his FORE
head and when the cigar was half gone
he was in positive agony. l don't
know whether it was from nervousness,
in not following the usual custom of
removing the cigar from his lips at
stated intervals, or because he was
sickened by the constant volume OF
smoke he had to puff in and blow out.
At any rate be was getting in . bad
way, and few minutes later, as white
as sheet, he gave it up. He tossed
the cigar away, nodded that might
pay the stakes over to the quiet man,
and went out. This was the last
boasting that he ever did.
"It's an odd fact, but it's true and
he proved it, thata man can't smoke
cigar and not take it from his lips un-
til it's all gone. No smoker does it.
He cant. He's simply got to take it
from his mouth occasionally. l, of
course, have heard OF men who lighted
cigars and never let them 20 out, and
never took them from between their
lips until the weeds were smoked
right down to the end, but I never
saw the chap that could do the stunt.
In fact, l don't think one can do it.
If you think it can be done-well, try
it some time, and see how you get
along.
Then try Q smoke in the dark, and
see how you will miss the flcecy ring.

This State Pitch. Turpentine. Tar, Gas,

G. E. Boberg, OF Bellingham, WASH,
has process for distilling from fir

Boberg is familiar with the process
prOtitably being worked in Sweden,
and is satisfied it would prove as profit.
able in this country. He controls pat
ents which provide for the distilling of
wood products by the use Of super.
heated air. The time required for
distilling is from II to 15 hours. Dur
ing this time every particle of char
coal, oil and turpentine is taken out.
There are in this State thousands of
cords of wood that could be sent to
distilling plants if we'll located and
easy of access. The pitch obtained
from fir is of very high grade.
Turpentine and tar, of an excellent
quality, gas of the best grade, with
excellent heating and lighting quail
tiles, charcoal and pyroligneons acid.
The importation of turpentine goes
steadily forward, all of which might
be supplied from the waste OF the
mills on this coast. Large quantities
OF tar are constantly being imported
from Europe. Pitch is shipped here
from the East Mr.. Boberg thinks
the trees left in the woods owing to
pitch knots and other defects, could
be profitably run through a distilling
plant. The demand for all these
products is constantly increasing. He
claims that thousand feet of lumber
can be distilled cheaper than thou
sand feet of lumber can be manufac-
tured. Mr.. Boberg controls the pat.
ents owned by the Grondahls Com
pany. With this company's charcoal
furnace the fires are kept constantly
running and there is no cooling down
of the furnace for recharging it. One
of these furnaces was constructed a
number of years ago in Finland,
which has been in constant operation.
The furnace is loaded from trucks, and
by ingenious arrangements the trucks
are unloaded after passing through
the outer corrugated sheet metal
doors. The drying compartment is
kept at temperature of 120 degrees.
This. drives the moisture out of the
wood; in the charring chamber the
temperature is 400 degrees. The per.
centage of charcoal obtained is very
high, the quality Of turpentine is Of
high grade and is free from
the burnt odor which is noted in other
turpentines. The estimate of the
amount Of product OF one cord OF saw
mill slab is as follows:
Turpentine, SO gal. at 72c per gal. 1912
Tar, AZ gal. at Csc per gal ......... 1915
Pitch, So lbs. at 21ac per h.. ...... 1.70
