are little worlds by themselves. Up
holstering is a good trade.
1t is no disgrace to enter any hon
est healthy employment; very often
the working woman's ''1ast chance" is
the ha1f-rotten board; still I advise her
to cross it every time. If she has
courage she will generally get over,
but if she hesitates she is lost anyway.
One learns from these pages that
the only way in which woman can
succeed is by faithful, honest, skillful
work, making the best use of one
talent, and supplementing it with the
others she may chance to possess, and
tact, patience and conscientious efforts.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.

Our thoughts for this week are taken
from the poems of Mrs. Rebecca
Ruter Springer, the author OF little
book which has charmed Thousands
Intra Muros, and many poems scatter
ed far and wide in magazines and pa
pers. She was an earnest Sunshine
member and gave her name to the
Springer branch of Ocean Grove, N.
J., of which she was a member and
her husband still remains one.

The City Of Peace.

The shadows are dark and the storm
clouds are near;
And toilsome and rough is the way;
And oft, mid the darkness, the pillows
we hear
That, sometime, must bear us away.
But, trusting in Jesus, the storm
shadows flee
All fears and amenities cease,
And plainly, thro' mists on the shore,
we can see
The gates of the City of Peace.
Thro' those beautiful gates, neither
sorrow nor i'll
Neither pain nor aff1iction can go;
Only gladness and JOY, working Gods
holy will
Can the blessed inhabitants know.
Oh! City of Peace! In thy palaces fair
Loved faces and forms we can see;
All softly each whisper, "How sweet to
be there,
Where the dear ones are waiting for
me-"
Oh! what are Our trials? They soon
will be past;
Or why should we wish them to
cease,
When, if patiently borne, they will lead
us at last
To the gates of the City of Peace?
Dear Father in Heaven, we fervent1y
pray
That our love and our faith may in
Till together we'll enter, some glorious
day

Women's Ways of Earning Money.

Women's Ways Of Earning Money.
We must glance briefly at the remain
ing chapters of Mrs. Alden's book
upon this subject.
Uses for the Needle.-Dress making
-Four or more women who could
undertake to supply well-ftting gar
ments at a moderate sum could make
such an establishment flourish in any
town, and could send out to or super
intend home work for busy mothers,
cut and fit for them, leaving the plain
sewing to the women of the family.
An everyday question is: do you
know of a dressmaker who will come
to the house without charging more
than I am worth?' A little ambition
in a woman who can do plain sewing
will fit her to do better class Of work
that pays well" Do not excuse i'm
efficiency" by the plea of imperman
ence of plans for, life, as a business
knowledge, will never come amiss-
amusing others-make a business OF
children's playing; call it ''The Chill
dren's Club" teaching them, in the
hours devoted, whatever the mothers
desire, dancing, gymnastics, etc. This
''club'' takes walks, visits museums,
and SO on.
Go to homes OF i'll or convalescent
children and have visiting committee
of the club to carry good times over
to the little shut-in. One woman
worked up a marvellous business in
amusing grown-ups, taking the re-
sponsibility of entertainments, etc., as
a pheasant boarder,' or leader in
other ways
Whistling, if that is ones only talent;
public reading or storytelling, arts and
crafts Of late there has been a revi-
val of the old-time rag carpet weaving
done on grandmother's loom This
weaving is quickly learned. Societies
of carts and Crafts are being organic
ed in all parts of the United States.
In Deerfeld, Greenfield and Montague,
Mass, blue and white need1eworks
came first, then rug-making, raffla
baskets, photography, palm-leaf bas-
kets and the old-time drapery for beds
and hammered brass work. The Mis-
ses Green carried on the photography
and made themselves famous. One of
the most important members is lady
eighty-hve years of age. Her baskets
are always in demand. One woman
has the monopoly of the trade in old
time net bedspreads, and makes lots
of money.
The kinds of work done is very
large A woman out West has made
herself quite famous by making lamp
shades of shells, with repousse work;

The Wreck on the Strand.

How like our mortal life is to the sea!
It's tranquil hours, it's storms, it's mys-
terry,
Its breaking waves, that ceaseless beat
the shore
Like breaking hearts that hope til!
hope is DER.
It's fitting sails, that meet upon the
main
Like hearts that love an hour, then
part again.
It's hidden graves, DER which the wa
tiers flow,
Hiding the skeletons that sleep below,
Its drifting sands, that kindly cover
DER
Like passing years the wrecks that line
the shore.
It's shells, whose plaintive murmurs
of the deep
Are like, the memories that will not
sleep.
It's songs, that oft at eventide we hear,
Like echoes from that world so far
so near!
It's haze, thro' which we see the distant
land;
But most of all it's wrecks upon the
strand.

To all who have dear ones lying
within the hidden graves of ocean, and
love to listen to it's plaintive murmurs
chanting their requiems, this favorite
poem of a gifted woman will speak
very tenderly. We are indebted for
these poems to Miss Mary Marsh, her
self writer of beautiful prose and
verse, secretary of the Ocean Grove
Sunshine branch, the Springer Branch
now numbering 200 members, which
Mrs. Marsh hopes to bring up to over
300 another year. She is also secretary
for the Ocean Grove Association, and
it's musician, carrying her sunshine in
to its many summer homes and help
ing to make it truly little part of the
heaven it's jewellers proclaim it to be.

And think in sorrow of our lost re-
nown.
Sadly we grieve that in our life hath
been
No grand and noble deeds-but all
unseen
Our lowly toll. Then some sweet
voice chants low,
Wait till Times angel shall thy record
show;
The patient toll; the suffering meekly
borne;
The kind word spoken to the sinking
heart;
The cup Of water in His name to one
Painting and desolate; the cruel smart
We seek in other suffering hearts to
By earnest deeds of love; Oh! faint
heart, these,
These are the deeds He counts as labor
done,
And binds into the sheaf our toll hath
won.
In 1899 the life saving bill was intro
duced and being considered and dis
cussed at Washington, Mr.. Core, of
New York, to facilitate its passage and
show the necessity for it, and how
many hearts went out in tenderest
sympathy demanding it, quoted the
words of the gifted wife of the gentle
man from Illinois, Mr.. Springer, who
sang of the Wreck upon the beach with
such sweetness and light as to make
our path of duty both plain and beau
tiful.

How to Breed Potatoes.

Stock breeders apply natural laws
in reproducing superior stock. To
raise superior potatoes the same nat
ural laws must be applied. Begin now
and breed up your potato stock.
Select for seed not the largest or
the smallest, but those smooth, firm
and finely shaped. Cut them from end
to end, not across grain, as that cuts
the sinew of the seed potato and
smaller potatoes always result when
seed potatoes are cut any way, as is
usually done.
Then let them lie for a few hours
in the sunshine until a thin film
forms over the cut surface. Then
they are ready to plant. Plant them
cut side down, If possible. They will
grow If planted the other way, but II
takes the sprout longer to come up
from the under side of the cut seed
potato. Make other conditions right
and keep this work up year after year
and wonderful crop of superior po-
tatoes will be the reward.-Vernon A.
Allen, in The Farmers Voice.

lied and that produced about So BUSH
els Of corn to the acre. The results
were:
Planted 24x3 inches, 11s bushels per
acre.
Planted 24x6 inches, SO bushels per
acre.
Planted 24x12 inches, 90 bushels per
acre.
Planted 30x3 inches, 123 bushels per

Planted SOx6 inches, s6 bushels pei

Planted 3Ox12 inches, 81 bushels per
acre.
These plats were plowed three times
and hoed once.
Another test was male at Newport,
where they raised 174 bushels per acre
by planting 24x4 inches. Thus you
can see that the greatest yields are
from close planting. By planting close
on common land and giving good cul-
tivation you can make about three
bushels to one of corn on good land.
1t takes about two bushels to plant an
acre 30xS inches. When ready to har-
vest pillow them out with shovel plow

around post, putting peas inward and
tops out. Let stand until peas are dry.
Then pick peas off.

year for hogs. Will NOW the tops of

get from one to three tons of hay as

Feeding Young Chickens.

Young chickens should be fed lit
tie at a time and often. If they are
given ground food alone there is great
danger of overfseding. Good results
may be obtained by the feeding entire
ly of cracked grains from the time the
chickens are Matched until they reach
maturity. Cracked corn, cracked wheat,
hul,ed oats, etc, are recommended. If
the chickens can not get grass, some
kind of grain feed should be provided.
Lettuce and cabbage are very good for
this purpose Some kind of meat should
be provided, such as green cut bone
or mat scraps. Finely cracked grit
should be kept in box where the
chickens can help Themselves at all
times. Clean water should be provid-
ed from the start, and should be placed
in such a dish that the chickens can
not get into it and get wet.-Farmers
