Glad Tidings.

Sin is the one poisonous tap-root OF
all misery and degradation. and, there
fore. Christ came TO put away sin by
the sacrifice of Himself once for all;
to wash it out in His precious blood;
to tear up its record in condemnation
against us, and to nail ne torn fraS-
ments 20 His cross.
If we had not this Saviour, which
is Christ the Lord, what courage would
any one of us have to wrestle in our
own hearts against fierce and never
ending temptations? But for faith IN
this Saviour. why should any man care
in this world to do anything but to SIT
by his own fireside, and never think OF
Drawing the malice. the hatred and in
gratitude of an unjust and evil worldE
But for hope in Jesus, who would not
fold his hands in despair before Il
bonded union and the vested interests
of all the powers which ate good
ness?
But Christianity is something more
than a system of theology, something
more than a code of ethics. 1t is sal
walton, it is glad tidings, which, soon
er or later, shall be fulfilled entirely,
when God i all in all, and there is
peace on earth and good will toward
men. 1t is the birth to US in the city
of David of a Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord."-F. w. Farrar.

Woke to Find Wife Ablaze,

John Weber, proprietor of the Mid.
dlesex Hotel at Old Bridge, was awak-
ened in the night by the noise OF
cracking flames. The room was filled
with a dense smoke, and his bed was

the flames before he wondered what
had become of his wife. Stepping to
the hall he say her standing inside the
door of an adjoining room, a pillar of
fire. He tore the blazing garments
from her limbs and made frantic eff
forts to save her, but she died within
an hour. Mr.. Weber cannot account

Stock in the Winter Months.

I To the farmer who keeps live stock
through winter, the arrangement of
the feeding place has much to do
with the success of his business. If
inconvenient and not suited to the pur-
pose, there will be loss of time and
waste of feed. A half hours loss in
feeding two or three times every day
is a great sacrifice of time. If the
horse stables are so constructed that
the grain and hay must be carried sep
arately 10 each stall, it will take as
much time to feed the n or two
horses as it will to feed a half dozen, or
even more, when the managers are so
placed that all feed can be given from
the barn floor. In the summer season
the teamster with handy feed managers
could easily feed and harness his team
in the time taken to carry corn to the
separate stalls. Much more time must
be lost if many men and teams are
used i'll the fields.
In many feed barns the managers are
placed conveniently to the barn feeding
floor. But the hay is pulled from them
down into the stall and wasted. Where
the animals must reach up and pull
their feed down to them. as in the old
fashioned stake rack that was made
to lean from the side wall, this waste
is very noticeable. There are many
managers where the hay is rooted out
at the side and becomes soiled. A
waste of feed three times a day is
Like a waste of time three times every
day. When added they take very con-
siderably from the profit side of the
account. This is the feeding time, an
excellent opportunity to examine the
managers and determine whether they
are time MASTERS or MASTERS of feed, or
perhaps both.
Ii Il manager is permanently fastened
where upright pieces cannot be nailed
on, a ladder made just to fit the top of
the manager and hinged at the back side
so it can be lifted when hay or fodder
is placed into it, and then let down
again. will prevent roofing the hay out
at the side. With sheep, a box manger

THE ElREslDE ELEPHANT.

All me, how frequently I pant
To be a stately elephant! /.
With skin so thick and strength so great
He scorns the puny tricks of fate,
The while his shoulders well may bear
A really untold weight of care.
All, were I he, l win aver
I'd be q model householder
IT'S possible, i. grant you that,
He is not suited to a fiat;
Yet you'll admit at once that he
Is builded for economy.
He need not stoop to pick things up;
He wants no valet, cook or maid;
His hand is spoon and fork and cup,
And cen a straw for lemonade.
And when the icebox hoard has shrunlE
To puny size in fourth floor rears,
He takes a shower bath from his trunk,
And sits attaining with his ears.
Or when the days are wintry chill,
And windows must the air exclude,
He leaves his nose across the sill,
While folks below prepare their food!
Show me the man who would not pant
To be a gentle elephant

Hints to Public Speakers.

Never refer pityingly to the poor.
This brands you at once as a dema-
gogue. Never say anything respectful
of corporate wealth. In SO doing you
lay yourself open to the charge Of
being a hired man.
Never use slang If you want respect

Never use pure English. The masses
hate priggishness.
Never talk straight to the point.
You will be accused of taking yourself

canery.
Never praise "our f~orefathers." An
