The ScOtclmaI'S disposition to re.
gard his own judgment as the best that
can be found is well illustrated in q
story once told of the moderator of a
Scotch presbytery. This mans opinion
differed widely on certain question
relating to church discipline from that
Of the associates with whom he was
OstenSibly consulting At last he said
that he would lay the matter before the
Lord in prayer and then wait for his
guidance. 20 Lord" said the mod
orator fervently and with perfect sin
certify of purpose, 20 Lord, grant that
we may be right in this matter, for
thou knowest that we are very de-

Picking Ponnufx

The seeds Of the peanut are planted
like beans, and when the vines have
come up and the nuts are ready for
harvesting the farmer takes cult
yator especially made for that pur-
pose and starts down the long rows.
On either side of this cultivator are
two long knives which sink into the
ground sufficiently to cut the taproOt
Of the vine. The same process is gone
through with on the other side of the
vine. The main root being thus sew
cred and the ground loosened, the
vines are lifted into shocks like corn.
They are cured by allowing them to
stand in the sun for about ten days,
when colored woman and children
are sent into the field to pick the nuts
from the vines. An average picker
will pick about five bushels day, for
which he is paid at the rate Of 10
cents bushel.

several degrees in his estimation is
described in Outing. 1t shows that the
sparrow has other good qualities be-

For several days four or five sparrows
nad visited a certain place on the roof
near my window. They always brought
food for another little fellow. who
never tried a flight from the spot. The
visiting SparrOws never came empty

Of food near the little sparrow. When
1t began to eat the crumbs the others
set up great chirping and then flew
away After watching this for few
days went out on the roof and APP
