The blessings for which we are in

eumming-up in our Daily Readings.
First is the boon Of righteousness
The One Hundred and Nineteenth
Psalm is ii hymn in praise of the
Word of God. AS a guide of life: as
cleansing power; as source of peace,
happiness. and the good regard of
men. Il shall not be ashamed" says
the writer, when | have respect unto
all thy commandments"
The Bible presents humanity with
standard of morals, a code of
ethics, to govern us in our relations
with God and with other men. Jesus

The Bible provides directions for
the government of the church. No
system of church polity was given by
Christ or the apostles. That matter
was left for determination by the eX.
pediencies of circumstances; but a
system of principles for the guidance
of men and women in the church life
was clearly outlined. Some OF the
details Of these principles we have In
our Readings.

When Pigs Get Fat.

One of the very necessary things
to provide for the pigs during the
hot weather Is good shade where
they may keep cool during the heat
OF the day. 1t is well known that a
hog cannot stand much heat, for the
reason that he cannot perspire like
most animals, and, therefore, cool
place must be provided for him. Ma
tural shade is, of course, the best II
dense enough; the darker the place
for them during the heat of the day
the better, but there should be q good
circulation of air. Hogs seldom leave
the cool shade until toward evening,
at which time you win find them out
grazing like a drove OF cattle. After
the evening feed of grain they will
remain out till well along in the even
ing. and the very first thing in the
early morning one will find them out
grazing on the dewy grass. After
the morning feed they will go to their
cool shade and remain during the
heat of the day II is when lying in
solid comfort that they are adding
the pounds to their weight and maxi
ing money for their owner

At the stnmn Window.

She was dressed in white from
head to foot and wore elbow sleeves.
Her hat was poised at dangerously
wicked angle, and 1t was evident she
was conscious of the attention she at
tracted as she walked up to the
stamp window, boldly assuming the
right of way over others
"A two-cent stamp, please" she
said, sweetly, at the same time plac-
ing her quarter on the counter.
The clerk gave her the stamp.
Wont you kindly attach it to the
letter." she asked.
A shade of annoyance passed over
the clerks face. 1--WE don't gener-
ally do this" he said.
Il know" she said sweetly, but
the taste of stamps doesn't agree
with me at all. Thanks, awfully. I'll
drop 1t in the box myself. ."-Milwau-

NHINTS FOR THEN
USEkEEPERsV
rMS AalNre -, (,ss ,<5-% .SA-aE

To Give Gloss to Linen--If a gloss
on linen is desired, add a teaspoon
full of salt to the starch when making.
Stains on Marble-A paste of crude
potash and whiting brushed over
grease spot on marble will remove
the stain.
For Brass FiXtures-To clean brass
fixtures, apply lemon juice with
cloth, then wash with warm water
and rub dry with chamois skin or
soft cloth.
To Clean Wall Paper-Wall paper
that has been soiled in spots may be
cleaned and freshened by rubbing
down with bread or applying corn
meal with a cloth.
To Counteract Salt--If too much
salt has been added to soup. slice a
raw potato and boil 1t in the soup for
few minutes. The potato will abb
sorb much of the salt.
Inspecting Jellies-Jellies should
be inspected during long spells of
damp weather, very little dampness
in the place where the jellies are
kept will often spoil them,-E. r. B.
Tossing the Baby-It is dangerous
to toss the baby. Many a child has
been attacked with convulsions be-
cause of being tossed. Move the baby
gently up and down. 1t Will aid In
digestion.
Saucepan Cleaning-To cleanse a
burnt saucepan, fill 1t with cold
water and add a tablespoonful of
soda, also a teacupful OF wood ashes
If obtainable. Place over a fire and
allow to come to a boil.
To Remove Grease Spots-Cover
grease spot on mating with French
chalk and sprinkle benzine on 1t.
Allow the benzine to evaporate and
brush off the chalk, when the grease
spot will have disappeared
House Plants-Imprope drainage
is responsible for many failures with
house plants. Have some porous
substance at the bottom of the pot
which will retain moisture and yet
permit the water to run through.
Securing Tin-Kerosene oil is ex-
cellent for securing any bright pol
ished metal, especially tin. Dip the
securing cloth in and with very lit
tie rubbing the tinware or article
may be kept bright as when new.
Pure Air For Sick Room-It is
sometimes not permissible to open
the window of a sick room and yet
the heavy atmosphere needs chang
ing. This can be done by setting
afire sew spoonfuls of cologne in
basin.
Cleaning Windows Without Soap
IF you wish your window panes to
be bright. and clear, use no soap on
them, but sprinkle ammonia In the
water with which they are washed.
II newspaper is used for drying,
fine polish will be obtained.
Keeping Nuns over Winter--Put
the chrysanthemum plants that you
are keeping over winter in the cell
lar and keep them moderately dry.
The winter is their resting time,
therefore do not water them toe
much nor keep them dust dry. Slips
can be freely taken from them In the
spring, when they take on new life. !

REMARKABLE EXPLOIT.

Thomas Hayden, of Rainbow cane
near being drowned at Poquonock,
Conn. He hired a boat from Mr..
Snow, who runs Rainbow Park, about
> O'Clock p. m. and started for boat
ride above the Rainbow dam. The
current in the Pennington River was
very strong, owing to the high water.
He lost control of his boat. He soon
found himself drifting toward the
dam and unable TO get out of the cur
rent. He realized his perilous posi-
ton and as soon as the boat neared
the edge of the dam he stood up Ia
the boat, threw OFF his coat and
jumped from the boat over the dam.
In some miraculous manner he
emerged from the water and swan
for a small island short distance
away. The boat was demolished.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES
SEPTEMBER SIXTEENTH.
How Christ Met His Enemies, and
How We Should Meet Ours.
Luke 4: 1880; II: 37-44;
%: SO, "a.


The best victory over most foes is
to pass through the midst of them
and go on to our tasks.
The Christian life often gives oc-
casion to enmities 1t does not seek
the enmities, but it does seek the oc-
casions.
Recrimlnation is unchristian, but
rebuke is Christian; the second is OF
ten needed, the first never
If Christ could be sure that the
great sin of the Jews sprung from
ignorance, dare we judge harshly any
man?
Suggestions.
An enemy forgotten is half con-
quered; an enemy loved is wholly de-
feated.
A Christian dares have no enemy
but Christs enemy, nor treat him ex-
cept as Christ would treat him.
The spirit of love to men is not
born of overlooking their faults but
Of seeing their merits. No enemy
can hurt us till We hate him.
Illustrations.
In fighting it is always an advan-
tage to get on the higher ground. We
do so when We forgive a foe.
A grain of sand in the bearings will
stop a machine, and a grain of un-
kindness will destroy friendship.
Am ! converting enemies to friends,
or friends to enemies?
Do / submit both my loves and my
hatreds TO the judgment Of Christ?
Are both my loves and my hates
such as strengthen me?
Quotations.
If you know that you hold any i'll
will toward any one, and you wish
God to work mighty work in your
soul, get down and ask God to cast
the bitterness out of your heart-R.
A. Torrey.
TO lose your temper shows that you
are out of communion with your
blessed Lord.-H. w. Webb-Peploe.

Some Cream Don'ts.

Don't fail to keep the cream cans
in cold water summer and winter
Don't fail to wash the cream sepa-
rator each time it is used with a
brush and washing powder.
Don't overlook the necessity for
rinslng with clean, hot water.
Don't forget that it is an impossl-
bility to make good butter from old,
stale cream.
Don't mix cold and warm cream.
The fresh cream should be cooled to
the temperature of the cream to
which it is to be added before mix
ing.
Don't put the cream in a cellar
that is not absolutely free of vege-
table or other bad odors. Cream will
absorb the odor of any substance that
is near it.-Hoard' Dairyman.

So, therefore. let us not confound
Christ's suffering in Gethsemane to
lack of fortitude or bravery. Our
Lord was no stole. He here felt that
His physical body was giving way

Sheep Farm.

It is almost next to impossible for
a farm to be either too large or too
small for sheep. No matter what the
size of your farm it is adapted to a
certain number of sheep, and when
you can hit upon just what that num-
ber is the quality of your soil will be

farm If they receive the proper care
