the week large classes Of girls convene
for instruction in the gentle art of rails

The Remsen Bell tells of an old Ger
man who had a boy of whom he was
very proud, and decided to find out
the trend of his mind. He adopted a
novel method by which to test him,
He slipped into the boys room one
morning and placed on his table q
bottle Of whisky, Bible and a silver
dollar "Now," said he, "when dot
boy comes If he takes dot dollar he's
going to be a beeznis man; If he takes
dot Bible he's going to be a preacher;
il he takes dot whisky he's no good,
and going to he a drunkard.n Then
he hid behind q door to see which his
son would choose. In came the boy
whistling. He ran up to the table,
picked up the Bible and put it under
his arm, then snatched up the bottle,
took two or three drinks, picked up the
dollar and put 1t in his pocket, and
went out smacking his lips. The

behind the door and exclaimed: "Mein

TEACH THE BOY A TRADE.

IT is a good thing to be afforded
glimpse Of ourselves occasionally,
as we appear to others eyes. Two
hundred European teachers were
brought over here year ago by
Sir Alfred Mosely to study our
public school system. Their re-
port has been published. and it Is
attracting very general attention in
educational circles abroad, Doubt
Jess it will become basis for many
excellent reforms to be introduced
in the foreign schools, for the Com
mission has found much to COM
mend in our advanced educational
methods.
There is, however, one impor-
tant defect to which the report calls
attention. 1t is the comparative
Jack of trade high schools here. In
all other respects, the Commission
finds our system practically perfect
and superior to anything in Euro
pean countries. Herr ,Ullmann,
Provincial School Director of Ber-
lin, says:
In prevailing conditions trade schools
are an absolute necessity. Cur boys
cannot all become professional men.
Many branches Of commerce and in
dustry are 80 specialized that,training
Is absolutely necessary. Unless we
provide this training, our schools will
turn out . lot Of idlers who have no
future, unless their wealthy parents
can stake money In some venture.
This is a valuable hint to our
School Boards. It is unquestiona-
BILE that technical training should
be the natural climax of the educa.
tion of very large portion of the
youth of Our nation. All cannot
be professionals. and to make an
effort to train all as though they
were destined for professional
career is one of the worst of blum
ders. In Europe, many of the
young princes of royal houses are
taught the use of tools and ma
chinery. The boy who has been
trained to an honest trade of some
definite industrial calling, whether
his parents be rich or poor, has an
anchor to windward that will stand
by him in many storm. On the
other, hand, the young man whose
education leaves him unequipped
for the battle of life is in danger of
becoming good for-nothing.
We trust that the day is not far
distant when our admirable school
system will be SO supplemented by
technical training that every boy
will be able to work with hands
and brain at some useful employ
ment nt.-Christian Herald.

Patience,

Patience with ones imperfections, In
the sense Of not being so discouraged as
to give up trying, is virtue. II one
will look at 1t so, new days are given
us for new lives. 1t Is not what we
were yesterday, after all, that concerns
us, 1t Is what we are now in thought
and deed. To think we are SO bad II Il
not worth trying any more is as fool
ish as to act, as some do, as If we need
ed not to be any better.
Be patient toward your friends.
Some men are slow to see into good
things. They want to do right, but 1t
takes them good while to determine
what is required Of them. Every
member of the body of Christ Is not an
eye. To get out of patience with these
dull ones will not help either them or
you. Give them time and they will
do their duty. We all have our In
firnlities. Let us bear with each other
To be patient you must have patience.
The stream cannot flow If the fountain
is dry. The fruit will not grow with
out the tree. Resolutions, alone,
against impatience will not answer.
You must pray as well as resolve, Ask
God, not merely to help you in your
outward conduct, but to give you the
inward grace. Unless you get that,
You will fail as you have failed before.
Be determined on victory in this

For all that we do, good or bad, I'M

1t Is not usually supposed that any
exercise of the will power can be made
efficient in checking q cough or sneeze,
but celebrated doctor says sneezing
can be stopped BY pressing ON the
nerve of the lips in the neighborhood
Of the nose. Coughing may be stopped
by slight pressure in front Of the ear.
This will also stop hiccoughing. Pres
sing very hard on the top of the mouth
is also a means Of stopping coughing,
and many say the will alone has inn
mense power. There are various 9TH
er affections associated with breathing
which can be stopped by the same
mechanism that stops the hearts ac-
tion. In spasm of the glottis, which
is a terrible thing in children, and Also
In whooping cough, it is possible to af-
ford relief by throwing cold water on
the feet or by tickling the soles of the

1t is generally considered that COW
under normal conditions does her best
work during the sixth or seventh year.
Up to that time hath the milk and
butter fat content should increase. con-
siderabIy In amount. From this age
on to ten years n slight increase can be
expected Under fAynrahle conditions
although many Q good COW goes back
ward during this time simply because
1t is SO often thought that she has at
tanned arr age at which she can shift
for herself. Instead Of this kind of
management, a COW of merit worth
keeping should be given good atten-
tion, for her ability to produce largely
and economically is probably as near
its prime as at any time before the
sixth or seventh year. Many mature
COWS when on heavy feed are not
economical producers although 1t is a
pretty safe rule that when q COW pro-
duces abundantly at the phil she is
making good use OF her rations. Some
authorities hold that the increase in
the average fat content Of the milk
which heifer registers Is from one to
two-tenths Of one per cent each year
above the preceding year up to the
sixth year. From that point or lit
tie later the decrease begins and is par
ticularly marked If the animal is rum

other feed: High records have been

High feeding to produce early records
taxes the strength 30 severely In many
cases that q mature COW fails to do her

is: The soft wheat on the bottom
and upland is in bad shape and looks
like poor crop but this acreage is
small. Hard wheat is much better
on both bottom and upland, particu-
larly the latter, its general condition
is about 80 per cent and can possibly
make an average crop. The damage

is still a question and cannot be de-
termined for some time.
