The lesson OF the FIouer.

One of the first flowers to bloom in
the spring is the hepatica or liver
wort The chill of the winter was in
the air, and the SHOWS were hardly
gone, when / saw some beginning to
grow amid the dried leaves my stick
had poked away. The sturdy hope of
the plant moved and helped me. Never
give up; keep alive and alert even
amid the dreariest scenes and times.
Chance will open somehow if you are
getting ready for it by the faithful
daily duty.

To Open Glass Cans.

Set the can into the oven. A glass
can, while it contains fruit, no matter
how hot the oven is, will not break.
Run the point of a knife between the
lid and the can when the wax is soft.
Lift off the lid. Take all wax from the
can and lid off. After the can and lid
are washed place them in their proper
place ready for use when canning thu
next time. This is e much better plan
than having a whole day to clean cans
in the midst of the fruit season. Save
all the old wax, as it is much better
than the new cement for glass and
china.

"And the king was much

: WePt." - What poignant and
hopeless grief is that which
arises from consciousness of
guilty responsibility for the
tragedy which has fallen. That
! is a pitiable sight-the AGED
king utterly crushed and incon-
solable because his son had gone
out intoeternaI darkness. He had
hoped he might be spared, cling

that he might yet turn to the

the truth was borne in upon his

: too late, he was utterly over
Whelmed.
1t is hard to lose the loved
ones even when we know they
are safe with God, even when
the dying hour is made bright ;,
with the consciousness of Gods
presence, but what grief is that
which sees no ray of light,
which knows that the Goddess
life has sunk into the Goddess
grave. And then how doubly
hard to realize that because of
the sins of ones life and be-
cause of the failure to speak the

able to him.
David was selfish in his grief.
He forgot his faithful, loyal fol- :;

be allowed to come between one

"'Don t trlfe with a cold,' is

the opinion that the committee
can also make it's suggestion that
there is nothing in the evidence to

Quoting negotiations for III .
preparation of Japanese coolis
immigration into the United
States. As the ambassador had
been fully informed of all steps
leading up to the passage OF the
immigration act, and, in fact
had really suggested the adoption
of measures to exclude Japanese
without passports, he was not dis
posed to critlclse adversely what
had been done by Congress. The
way to resume negotiations for
the projected restrictive treaty
was regarded as open and it is be-
l,eved that before the assembling
of the next Congress the new con-
vention will be ready for the con-
alteration of the Senate.

bring to bear on the house of lords the
proper influence to have the bill pass
that body, too.
This was the opportunity for Wilber-
force. He stumped all England, MAX
ing a remarkable series Of speeches,
a draft from the war depa trnemtf! da
He also wrote a book which had a
notable influence in reaching those
who were unable to hear hi mspeak.
True to its promise, commons passed
the bill in 1907. In the house of COM
mons Sir Samuel Romilly, in notable
speech compared the final peaceful trl-
jumps of Wilberforce with the military
pre-ehinence OF Napoleon then at the
height Of his glory, and the house
cheered to the echo.
The lords did not dare oppose the
popular sentiment for the measure,
and quickly put it through. The royal
sanction, that of King George ILL.,, the
obdurate ruler who had denied justice
to the American colonies, and in con-
sequence lost them to Britain, was OBJ
tanned, and on March 25, 1907, the
slave trade ended SO far as Engllsh
ships or Englishmen were concerned.
Wilberforce now turned his atten-
ton to agitating the passage OF similar
measures by every nation in the world.
Declining health finally compelled him
to quit parliament in 1925.
Wilberforce always contended that
when it came to taking from English
owners what slaves still remained IN
the country, it was only fair that since
the slaves had been acquired under
laws that made the requirement OF hu-
man serfs permissible, that the gov
ernment should renlunerate such as
suffered loss through the freeing OF
their slaves.
1t was this plan followed out only a
short time after Wilberforce died IN
1888, that enabled England to remove
the last vestige Of slavery from its sol
without spilling drop of blood in the
J process.

"Uncle Sam has two good imita-

Besides looking like Uncle Sam, they

American pilgrims, it is announced,
will be especially welcome.
The house in which Wilberforce was
born has a history besides his connec-
ton with it. Way back in the seven
teenth century it was the first house
in Hull, and when King Charles l., OF
unfortunate memory, came to Hull, it
was selected as the place most sulta-
BILE for his reception.
The Wilberforce who came into be-
ing there was a son OF wealthy par
ents, and all his inclinations should
have turned him toward life of stud1-
Gus ease, but his adherence of the
traffic in human flesh early made him
a militant opponent of the'system, and
it is recorded that as early as his
schoolboy days he wrote paper
which attracted general attention. 1t
| was called an article I'm Condemna-
ton of the Odious Traffic in Human
Flesh" and was printed all over Eng
land. as we'll as being circulated in the
| colonies.
That battle toward whose successful
issue Wilberforce directed his ener-
| gies, looked at the outset hopeless one.
1t was not alone the Shareholder OF
England who stood opposed to the
Wilberforce campaign. The ship own
er joined, for the business OF carrying
slaves to the American colonies had
become profitable one.
On attaining his majority, WllDer-
force found himself possessed OF
large fortune, and determined to enter
parliament, in order to be better able
to carry on. the fighe. In 1880 he was
returned for Hull.
By fortunate circumstance he had
| learned to know the younger Pitt al
Cambridge, and when both were mem
bers of parliament, Pitt lent willing
ear to the crusade of Wilberforce tc
make the slave traffic illegal. During
all the long contest that followed, Pitt
while busy with other national prob
lens of great moment, was ever al
the elbow of Wilberforce, doing all ne
could to aid the cause. 49,: =

Practical Scheme for Producing Elec-
trio Power and Saving Coal.
The annual fail of rain. and snow
represents a layer Of water in this
country that would vary from two to
five feet in depth. This rainfall must
eventually reach the oceans, and its
flow downward sWells streams and
rivers to overfowing. Stored in
proper reservoirs this waste rainfall
could be converted into electrical
power that would Danish dirty coal
from our homes.
Then, when used for turning the
turbine wheels of great electrical
power plants, it could be used also
for irrigation and distributed over
wide areas for increasing the fertil-
ity of our farms. More than this,
electrical pumps, operated by the
power which the flow Of the water
from its reservoirs generated, could
distribute the water to new regions,
where ordinary irrigation bitches
could not conduct it.
In other words, the water could be
used twice, first for generating e'ec-
trio power, and, secondly, for irrigat-
ing our farms. Electricity could be
made to light and heat the homes of
the city and country population and
run the threshing machines and reap
ers of the farmer as we'll as turn the
wheels of the cars and factories.
