Found She Was in Wrong.

An absent-minded woman one Sun
day morning walked into church,
took a front seat and joined in the
service vigorously, according to the
Chicago Inter-Ocean. Then the col
lection basket was passed to her, and,
putting coin into it, she looked
about. She cast glances in every di-
rection, her mind cleared, and an ex-
preston OF amazement overspread
her face. She got up. She hurried
down the aisle. She overlook the
man with the collection basket. I'm
in the wrong church" she whispered,
and taking the coin she had put in,
she hurried forth.

The SouIs Growth,

Temptations do not decrease, but
rather increase, with the growth Of
the soul The little man fighting his
little battles wishes that he were a
great man so that the more easily he
might overcome them; but when he
becomes great himself he sees that
storms circle the higher attitudes that
make the petty battles of the lower
level seem Insignificant.
Many seem to think that tempta.
tion lays it's hands only upon our
weak spots. But think a minute

sand dollars to get him clear? Does
he know what it is to have a princely
fortune dangled before his face it, in
legislative halls, he will stand on the
wrong side of the question for just
one hour? He knows absolutely
nothing about it.
So it is in the Christian life; the
stronger We grow to be, the stronger
will be our temptations. The nearer
We grow into the likeness of Christ,
the fercer will be the onslaughts OF
the enemy. We cannot escape life's
battles by moving into a different
or higher sphere Each stage or
sphere has its own temptations. As
Jesus was tempted, so will be His
disciples. But, as He was made per.
feet through sufferings, so our trials,
which are but for the moment. will
work for us a far more exceeding and
eternal weight OF glory.-Ram's

MinnoMed Mheat.

A good man does good merely by
living.
You are not very holy If you are
not very kind.
God often comes to visit us, but
generally we are not in.
What is each man but one little
thread in the loom Of God?
Bind together your spare hours by
the cord of some definite purpose.
No grip is so hard to shake off as
that of early religious convictions.
Our remedies frequently fail, but
Christ as the remedy for sin never
fails
Gods silences may be long, but
they are never the sileuces of forget
fulness.
A little thorn may rend the finest
fabric; so may a little sin mar the
lairest soul.
There may be movement, but there
can be no progress, in travelling with
out God.
Gratitude is the fairest blossom
which springs from the soul, and the
heart of man knoweth none more
fragrant.
We sleep in peace in the arms of
God when We yield ourselves up to
His Providence, in a delightful con-
sciOusness of His mercies; no more
restless uncertainties, no more i'm
patience at the place we are in, for it
Is God who puts US there and who
holds us in His arms. Can we be un.
safe where He has placed US?

sketch. Suspend two wires from the
timber B, fasten to trough as shown,
a a, and at each end a wire must be
fastened. Let the trough hang
about one and half feet from the
ground. The lamb Is considered the
most curious of domestic animals.
1t walks up to the trough, puts it's
nose in the trough and by doing so
the trough will gently swing from
the lamb; the latter becomes curious
to know what this means and follows
1t up, and finally the lamb is freely
eating the food placed in the trough
for it. This trough has been used
with marked success By one of the
most extensive feeders in our coun-
try. 1t will be best to use locust
wood for outside construction, as it
is very durable The trough can be
made any length desired and can be
placed in sheep shed.

The Passing of the Great Editor.

The immensely large capital now
required for the conduct OF a daily
newspaper in a great city has had
important consequences, 1t has made
the newspaper more of an institution,
less of a personal organ. Men no
longer designate journals by the
owners or editors name. 1t used to
be Bryants paper, or Greeley's pa
per, or Raymond's, OF Benefits. Now
1t is simply Times, Herald. Tribune,
and SO on. No single personality can
stamp itself upon the whole organ
ism. 1t Is too vast. 1t is a great
piece OF property, TO be administered
with skill; 1t is carefully planned
organization. which best produces the
effect when the personalities of those
who work for 1t are swallowed up.
The individual withers, but the
newspaper is more and more. Jour
nalism becomes impersonal. There
are no more great editors" but
there is finer esprit de corps, better
team play" an institution more and
more firmly established and able to
justify itself.--Rollo ogden, in the
Atlantic.

Comfort For Hen and Chicks.

1t is cruel plan which shuts OFF
the air almost entirely from the hen
with a brood of chicks by placing a
board in front of the coop at night;
nor is such plan necessary If one
will take the trouble to build a coop
or coops after the following plan:
Build the coop after the usual plan,
sloping the roof to the rear and
covering the front with Stats except
at one lower corner, where a door
should be arranged, so that the hen
can be easily let out when desired.
To solve the problem of plenty of
fresh air and at the same time free
dom from prowling small animals,
construct screen; make the frame
large enough completely to cover the
front of the coop aud cover it with
wire netting; at either side fasten
a strap with hole in the end, and
on the sides of the coop place a
screw, over which the straps are
placed to hold the screen in place.
To make the screen still more secure
when placed have the side pieces
large enough so that a long wire
nail may be driven in them about

The Object in View.

The ideal that the American
farmer should have in view at all
times is that of constant striving
to produce better crops and more
of them; to produce a little more
economically each year and to sell
them more advantageously in the
different markets which he is in the
habit of supplying. Another thing,
fully as important, is that he should
strive to increase and preserve the
fertility of his soil. which, II not
done, is like using up the principal
of the money which ne has in bank.
Preserve or make your land better;
reduce the cost of producing your
crops and sell to a better advantage,
if such thing is possible, and the
road to success will be much easier
to travel than would otherwise be
the case New York Witness.

lation, lacking in courage and in the
spirit of emulation which carries on
the noble horse, and obstinate and
sullky, just when an extra effort is re-
quired.
In the service of their masters,
the horse, the camel and the reindeer
are the only animals which will exert
themselves sufficiently to cause death.
The OK, the ass and the mule draw a
diplomatic line in their own individ-
ual protection, but 1 do not reflect
upon them for this In respect of
agricultural work, because l have
found the over-willing horse some
times damaged by thoughtless men.
On the field of battle, however, a will
ing horse would serve far better
than a sulky mule, and I now come
to the point of my contention.
Different breeds and strains OF
horses have different characteristics,
some being showy, but delicate in
constitution, whilst others are not
so attractive, though nearly as hardy
as mule. Now, 1 would urge that
in all work wherein a mule is con-
sidered suitable, employ a horse of
mulish character and he will do the
work better than any mule can. BY
experts these hardy horses are often
called pigs, because they eat any
thing, are never sick or sorry, but
are ever ready like a mule.
Were these same horses cultivated
as they should be, breed could be
established that would work twenty
years and be ever immune from all
the besetting ailments to which the
more snowy animal is subject. and
on the field of battle would super
sede the best of mules.-W. r. Gill

a Unique lamb Trough.

In the Breeders Gazette a corre-
spondent gives an illustration, as
well as a description, of what we be-
lieve to be a very unique trough for
the purpose of feeding lambs. 1t
is as follows:
The accompanying sketch shows
the most practical lamb trough l
have ever seen. The idea of this
trough is to teach the lambs to feed
at an early age and it prevents them
from jumping into the trough. Take
two pieces of lumber. say, four by
four, each six feet in length, allow
ing two inches to go in tho ground; ;
on one of these two timbers is

Scarcity of lambs.

How can there be other than
scarcity of lambs and high prices
when the tendency of the producer
is to sell each crop of lambs as fast
as they become of marketable size
and age and the tendency of the con-
sumer to have lamb for his dinner,
no matter what the price demanded?
asks the Twentieth Century Farmer.
The sheep raiser is not proving him
of the mutton eater as fast as the
demands are coming. This is OBJ
served in the decline of sheep popu-
lation, and the great demand for the
female side of the flock which has
developed in the market centres,
where the contest is fought out be-
tween the packer and the buyer of
the eve for mutton and for breeding
purposes.
The eve flock Is not a long lived
element in the sheep industry; they
soon wear out and must go into the
mutton market. Their places must
be filled from the ranks of the lamb
flock, and If these are taken by the
extra inducements of high prices
there is = serious decline in produce
tion staring the business in the face
That lambs for feeding purposes
are going to be high there can be no
question. That the general prices
for mutton will continue high there
can be no doubt. That this scarcity
is well grounded there is every reas-
on to believe. That feeders of sheep
will be Obliged to change to cattle to
greater or less extent, there seem
good grounds for prediction
Sheep breeders never have greater
opportunities for profit in mutton
and wool than they are now enjoy
ing throughout the range country.
The careful selection and retention
of the choice eve lambs of the flock
each year is business requirement.
and the careful selection and pur-
chase OF the best rams is business

Mules Versus Horses.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES
OCTOBER TWENTY-EloHTH.
Livingstone, and Missions to Africans,
in the Dark Continent and in
America.-Ps. 69:29-35.

Kings indeed did honor to the
great missionary, and it was because
he set up the temple of God in a new
place.
Livingstone gave himself so freely
for Africa because he believed in the
inherent royalty of manhood
whatever the color or condition of the
man.
Africa is now stretching out her
hands to God,-and to us, who can
bring God TO her.
Missionary lives seem superhuman
in their labors and results: that is
because they are superhuman in their
reliance.
The Life Of Livingstone.
David Livingstone was born in
Blantyre, Scotland March 10, 1913.
By the age of nineteen he had decid.
ed to be a medical missionary,-a
calling for which he obtained a most
practical training. He reached South
Africa in 1871, and began work with
the great missionary, Robert Moffat,
whose noble daughter Mary he mar.

Livingstone's great work was
heroic exploration. He opened up
the Zambesi country from sea to sea,
and the region around the great
African lakes, many of which he dis.

tions only in order to blaze a path
for future missionary work
In 1851 he visited England, and
then buried himself in the heart of
the Dark Continent, and was lost to
the knowledge of the world. In 1871
Stanley discovered him. an old man,
almost starving, and brought word
Of him.
He had a wonderful influence over
the natives. Finally he grew so
feeble that they had to carry him in
a litter.
In the morning of May /, 1873, his
loving black servant. Susi, found him
on his knees by his bed, the great
missionary having passed away in the
act of prayer.
