A christlike Life.--Phil. 2. 5-s.

The passage from the Philippian let
ter which is used as the Scripture les
son Is one of the greatest utterances
Of the apostle. 1t has been the inspir-
alton of numberless sermons, and of
treatises not few Much attention
Is given to the doctrine of the Ken
osis"- Christs giving up all of the
glory and power which he laid aside
when he became man. Great stress
Is laid on the infinite humility of our
Lord. These things are of very great
Importance.
But after all, they are not at the
heart of this Scripture. The chief
thing is that Christ set up new
standard of life. Instead of choosing
to rule, and to enjoy, and to be served,
he became subject to others and chose
to suffer, and made himself a servant
Why? Not merely because all that
was necessary to his work. Rather,
because always and everywhere serv-
Ice is a greater thing than possessions,
or power. or pleasure, or ease
His life was not a humble one just
ia show us how far God could stoop.
It was humble because no other life
can be made Godlike. In 1t there was
no needles pain, no numllldtlOn III Or
der to win sympathy. What Christ
was, and did, and suffered, he could
not have avoided, without losing his
power to save.
This, we must all confess, is not the
standard of men. 1t is scarcely ac
cepted even by many Christians. We
are very much under the spell of the
heather idea that getting is the su.
preme business of life. We are not
quite willing to take Christ literally
when he tells us that the only worthy
getting is a getting in order to give.
He did not count even so great dis
tinction as equality with God q thing
to be sought, but he gave every ener-
gy of his soul to the work of getting
onto the same level with men.
This is Christs law. He spoke it
by his life, with the high eloquence
of perfect deeds. He urged it on the
disciples when he told them that they
were to reverse the Gentle ideal, and
to find their greatness in serving, not
in getting Have we learned the les
son? We must get to give; we dare
not get for the sake of getting, for
that is the heather way, and we are
Christians

zines at no very distant date. Their
advantages are many, and have so
frequently been dealt with that IL Is
unnecessary TO recapitulate them here:
suffice 1t to say that small oil engine
is more economical to run than small
steam engine, all things considered.
The larger sizes are now being con-
structed for consuming crude oil; IN
stead of the gasoline hitherto en-
ployed the former fuel being much
cheaper; thus the oil engine has be-
come still more serious rival to the
steam engine. A gas engine operated
with producer gas is about the cheap
est power obtainable, water or wind, Of
course, excepted, the cost of fuel being
only about one-fifth of cent per
actual horsepower per hour
For intermittent work oil and gas
engines possess a great advantage over
steam engines in that they are avail
able for full power at a few minutes
notice, much less attendance is re-
qulred and that can be given by any
laborer of ordinary intelligence.
On most farms a small oil engine
will generally be found the most con-
venient motor, but If considerable
power is required, a gas engine COM
bined with n gas producer plant would
be preferable on the score of economy.
These plants, which are coming rapid
ly TO the front, do not require much
more attention than slow combustion
stoves, and it is perhaps superhuous
to add that they render the engine in
dependent of the local gas supply.
If a fall of water is available 1t
should prove an excellent source of
power, The oldfashioned, cumber-
some water-wheels have now given
place to the modern turbines, the latter
being more efficient in the utilization
of the energy of the falling water.
cheaper in first cost and erection, and
owing TO the fact that they run at a
far higher speed. the massive and
costly gearing necessary with water
wheels, to give the requisite velocity
to the machinery, can be dispensed
with. 1t should, however. be stated
that in a few situations an "over-shot"
water-wheel still holds its own. Wind
power is coming to the fore again;
there is no doubt that it might be util-
lied more than it is.

jocular mood and answered an invest

Eastern magazine. We expected some
bond or manufacturing proposition.
and felt hurt and indignant upon learn
ing that we were expected to put
money into gold mine. They had
evidently mistaken us for a fresh one.
For several weeks letters continued
coming, urging us to take a little stock

etc. Circulars with cuts showing the

sight never faxed us. We remember
incidentally figuring on the money we
could make by investing $1,000 in the
fifteen-cent stock, If the increase in
valuation which the producers knew"
was coming materialzed--but we only
figured. We felt that what money we
had TO throw away should be SHE'D

investment brokers finally caught on
that we We're next" and quit send

But how strange things do turn out.

think that If we had invested that
$1,000 instead of just figuring it, we
would have been some $4,000 ahead

The Care of Chicks

Many of the losses among the broods
of young chicks may easily be traced
to some neglect. either in care or food.
In the first place. many are killed
in the nest because the hen is disturbed
and they are trampled or chilled DO
not 90 near the nest after the eggs be-
gin to pip, except perhaps TO remove
the shells after Il portion of the chicks
have hatched. AS n rule. unless the
hen is very quiet, this should not be
done.
After twcnty-four hours take the
hen and brood to a coop already pre-
pared under dry shed. These coops
should consist of Stats arranged so that
the hen can move around comfortably,
with roomy box at the end, where
she may take the chicks to roost. If
the weather is cold, keep the hen and
chicks in a warm room for n few days,
so that the chicks will not get chilled
As soon as taken from the nest, feed
the hen. MS she will be very hungry
from her long fast. as she never leaves
her nest after the chicks begin to
! hatch
The chicks will begin to come from
under her wings for food after few
hours, and the first meal should be
rolled oats or stale crackers slightly
moistened with milk or water. They
will eat but little the first week, but
it should be given them every few
hours.
They should have milk or water to
drink, but you must watch that they
do not get wet. A shallow plate or
saucer filed with little pebbles will
keep them from falling in the water
Change the food occasionally and give
some kind of green stuff, cut fine
Teach the chicks early to scratch by
scattering oatmeal in litter and lei
them understand that they must work
Tor at least portion of their food
After the weather is warm the coops
should be scattered about over The
yard and orchard. where they should
remain until the mother weans them
after that they will still return TO tho
coop to roost or for protection from
danger.

Foot Tons

These two tables serve to point out
some of the differences that should
exist between the diets of the active
and the sedentary classes.
With the brain worker meat should
be eaten but once day unless the
possible rasner of bacon at breakfast
be expected, says the Chicago Tribune.
MIX, eggs, fish, fruit in abundance,
with light, dry porous bread should be
staples.
Men working as stokers, furnace men
in rolling mills, foundrymen and the
like are subject to tremendous heat.
Thirst is aroused and too often beer Is
used to quench it instead of water, or,
preferably, oatmeal. Any form of al
cohol used under these circumstances
means the shortening of the life of the
drinker.

meats and vegetables at the same meal
suffers from the combination, he may
find relief from stomach disorders by
making his meal of meat one day and

whale,s sense of Hearing.

1t seems perfectly evident that
whales must hear when in the water.
This inference is confirmed by the
comparatively small development of
the other sense organs. The eye,
for instance, is very small. and can be
of little use even at the comparatively
small depths to which whales are now
believed to descend.
Again, the sense of smell, judging
from the rudlmentary conditions OF
the olfactory. organs, must be in abey-
ance; and whales have no sense or
gans comparable to the lateral line
system of fishes. Consequently, 1t
would seem that when below the sur
face of the water they must depend
chiefly upon the sense of hearing.
Probably this sense is so highly de-
veloped as to enable the animals, in
the midst of the vibrations made by
the screYllke movements of the tail,
or fiukes, to distinguish the sound (or
the vibrations) made by the impact of
water against rocks, even In a dead
calm, and, In the case of pisclvorous
species, to recognize by the pulse In
the water the presence of a shoal OF
fish.
Failing this explanation, 1t is diff
ficult to imagine how whales can find
their way about In the semi-darkness
and avoid collisions with rocks and
roek-bound coasts.-London Field.

How some Seed Corn Pays.

The farmers of Clifton township,
Bartholomew County, estimate that
there is a loss in that township of $l0,-
600 every year, on account of imper-
feet seed corn. That Is to say the
crop would be worth that amount more
than now if perfect seed corn were
planted by all the farmers. This looks
like a wild statement. but ii may not
be even less than the truth. The seed
corn experts show pretty clearly that
an average loss OF thirty per cent. Is
sustained by planting corn that is not
carefully selected and stored. Each
acre then that ought TO yield sixty
bushels with perfect seed loses eighteen
bushels when common seed Is used; al
thirty-three cents bushel this is Sc
and II takes only 1906 acres at SO loss
per acre TO make a total loss OF $4,000
There are certainly more than that
number OF acres planted in corn In thai
corn growing townshlp--and there are
hundreds more of our townships [,
which the same estimate would appl,
equally woll. Every farmer who plant
inferior seed loses from 50 to 81 OF
each acre in the yield of corn. II h,
has twenty-five acres in this crop h
loses over $12o; II forty acres, 500
or more.--Indiana Farmer.

The greatest argument in favor of
feeding sheep. rather than cattle or
hogs, is that so much greater returns
can be realized from the amount Of
feed consumed.
Lambs should be put in the feed lots
at three TO six months old. and forced

months old,
Keep your sheep dry above and be-

Non.Settinr Hens

The Minorca has been dubbed the
"middleweight egg machine" and there
is good reason why the name is APP
propriate While they will not lay as
many eggs as some of the smaller
breeds, yet in point of weight they
easily outclass all others.
1t Is not unusual to find a dozen
Monorca eggs weighing thirty-two
ounces, all being uniform in shape and
color.
Minorcas are strictly non-setting
hens, though like all others of this
class, one will occasionally become
broody. They are large enough for
good table fowls. the males weighing
nine or ten pounds, and the females
weighing from six to seven.
