was thrown in touch with a rough look ing man who was brusque of speech and crude in action He had for years been a cattleman. I never knew a man so profane and blasphemous of speech. His words made me shudder Finally he found out that I was a clergyman. Then he came to me and apoogized. Then he began to open his heart to me. He said: q had one of the best mothers that ever lived. She was a sincere Christian. She lived for us children. And I know for her sake as well as my own I ought to become Christian too." And as he talked the tears just welled up out of his eyes and tricl1led down his cheeks "Oh," I said as I watched him, 'who would have thought that such man as you would be so near the kingdom of God?p And, believe me, there is hard ly man. woman or child near us with cut such memories. Away back in the old homestead the gospel blowing and seed planting have gone on. Those men and women near to you may be tired of sin. Believe me, you can bring them to Christ if you will only stretch forth the hand to lead them The preparatory work for Christ has all been done. Say we not there are yet four months and then cometh harvest Behold. l say unto you, lift up your eyes and look upon the fields, for they are white already to the harvest"
 And this. thought suggests gospel fact which is even more personal than any have yet mentioned. As those who are nearest to us are like white har- vests ready for the gospel reapers, so we ourselves are also ready to be gar nered for the divine granaries. Oh, yes; as with our neighbors. so there have been many gospel seed plantings within us. We nave tried to smother them and pull them out, but in spite of ourselves they have been steadily growing And the spiritual ,longings which we had years ago seem to be tugging at our hearts with increased vigor every year Are YOU not ready now to gather the whit anea harvest of your own heart and bring it into the gospel primary? All the pre- paratory work has been done in your life will you just give yourself up to nm now?

We are not independent of other coun- tries; neither are other countries indepen- dent of us. What we think they. must think, or, rather, what they think we must think for more and more the people of this world are going to become one in religion and one in sentiment.
 Work in Foreign Lands.
 Today I thank God for all the great missionary movements which have taken place in foreign lands. 1 thank God that today, as we are sending forth our ships laden down with goods, so we are send ing forth ships with Christian mission aries treading the decks. 1 thank God for the noble seed planters of the gospel who have been for years and years labor ing in these foreign lands. Does it not send a thrill of joy through you to read the wonderful missionary statistics? Are you not more and more ready to pour your money into the great foreign mis- sionary societies which are capturing for God China and Japan and Corea and Africa and South America? Look about you. Take worldwide sweep. Can you and see that everywhere the gospel fields are white with ripening harvest?
 But I feel that a sermonc theme like this sometimes loses its force because we take too great a perspective. Wben we stand upon the mount of inspiration and look off upon distant continents we are apt to forget the divine mercies and the gospel opportunities which are at our very door. And thus as Jesus Christ leads ui up in sermonic thence and bids us look at the white gospel harvests which are stretching away over the five continents and over the islands of the sea l think hear my Lord say Yes, child, the harvest is white everywhere-over in h. dia and Siam, over in Samoa and Tahitis over in Kongo and in the swaying forests of Brazil-but these harvests do not con cern you so much as those by your side. Even the men and the women and the children by your side whom you think do not love me and will never care for me can be saved if you will reach forth your hand to them" There are capacities in ever breast just ready to receive the gospel if you will preach it to them. And, my brother, the more you look for the Christ love in the hearts of men and women at your side the more you will be astonished to find it planted there even in the most unexpected places.

New York, April 19.-In this sermon.
 appropriate to spring, the preacher
 speaks encouragement to tn ose who are now dropipng into the soil the seed that will yet bear fruit in good deeds, gospel teaching and noble sacrifice for others. The text is John iv, S5. Say
 not ye there are yet four months and
 then cometh harvest? Beh old, say
 unto you, lift up your eyes and look
 upon the fields, for they are white al
 ready to harvest"
 If these words were true when Jesus
 uttered them to his disciples nearly 2O00 years ago, how much more nearly are they when spoken to the men and women of the present generationi These nineteen centuries of gospel
 preaching and gospel sacrifice have not gone for naught. The preaching
 and the life labors of the twelve apos- ties followed by lose of Polycarp
 and Athanasius and Augustine and
 Luther and Calvin and Wycliffe and
 Wesley and Whitefeld and Savonarola
 and John Knox and David Livingstone,
 were not all useless. Have no har-
 vests come from the myraids of gospel sewers who have been scattering their seeds everywhere in every generation? Have We no harvests from the self SaCTlnce Dl our nloueIn ihlSSiohdiiSs AS well as from the patient labors of the hundreds and thousands of Christian ministers scattered all over the whole world? What would we think of man. who, having endless life and un- limited wealth. devoted years of labor and millions of dollars to work that after 2000 years showed no signs Of completion? We should say that man was in a fools business. We'll my brother, do you suppose God is en- gagged in any such business as that? Do you suppose all these labors for nineteen centuries have gone for naught? Nay nay. In every genera tion the toilers have been cheered and encoura ged by seeing the results of their labors. The word has never re- turned void. Wherever and whenever it has been sown men have listened and have turned from the husks of the word to seek eternal life. Sowing and reaping have gone on simultaneously. The work Is still ready for the worker, and we in our day have the additional stimulus of seeing what our predeces sors have accomplished by the very means we have at command. Let us consider this morning what those means are that have been effective in the past and will prove effective in the future

permitted to range over garbage dumps
Or manure heaps. Her eggs should re-
ceive the most careful attention, and Il
possible Should be placed in sanitary
cases Immediately after they are gath
cred. It should not be forgotten that
contamination is likely to come any
where, and for that reason constant
care should be exercised. And If posi-
BILE, don't eat an egg that is over thirty
days old. 1t is not fit.
Aside from the professional poultry
men, the amateurs and the farmers
there is still another class interested in
poultry work. They are the thousands,
or perhaps hundreds of thousands, who
have no desire to go into poultry as
money making matter; who have not
the room for extensive breeding pens,
and who are proftably engaged in 9th
er work, and who have not time to de
vote to any considerable number OF
fowls. They are the people who have
homes in the small cities, towns and vii
lagos, with ground rightly regarded as
going to waste, or at least not earning
anything. These people would like to
go into the chicken business more for
diversion or hobby than anything
else, and supply their own table with
eggs and an occasional fowl. There is
surely no good reason why they should
not. Let a man who has the ground
take up the matter just as he would
were he going into the business as
means of livelihood. That is, he should
use the same precautions in the selec-
ton of his stock, and the same judg-
ment in it's care With little attention
given to a small flock Of chickens, many
families would find the income from
other sources would go much farther.
The numerous poultry associations
throughout the country are Of great ser
vice to their members. At their meet
ings they discuss intelligently the diff
ferent matters of interest, and protect
each other from those who would I'M
pose upon or act unfairly with them.
Of great use and interest are the an
nual poultry shows in various localities.
Not only are these exhibitions of prod
ucts Of interest to the professional and
amateur, but to the general public.

JAMES. TURN THE HOUSE"

William Reiman, New York City, has
had plans drawn for a revolving house
which he will build at Bayside, N. Y.
Mr.. Remnants Bayside home will be
the result of many years of thought
over the matter Of genuine home COM
fort for he has often declared that,
with the advantages Of modern appli-
ances and electricity, there seemed lit
tie reason for the sunny side Of a
house being in the sun all summer and
the shady side being in the shade all
winter.
Mr. Re1man would have a home the
windows of which may follow the sun
shine in winter or avoid it in summer.
An architect has studied the problem
and has completed plans for such a
home, which will be built at cost of
$95, 1000, exclusive Of the real estate.
AS proposed, the house will be con-
structed on a turntable, which will be
operated by electric power. The owner,
in his library or bedroom, may press
button, and on the piazzas will sound
a tinkling of bells to those who are
about to enter or leave the house, warn
ing them that the Reiman home is
about to maneuver by either the right
or left flank. Allowing family, servants
or guests time to get either in or out
Of the house, Mr.. Reiman will then
press another button, and the house
will swing to right or left, as he may
desire.
Sitting in his library window and
wearying Of the view, he may turn the
house round and get another vista
without leaving his chair. or if the
breeze shifts and the owner Of the
house finds himself cut off from it he
gives the alarm and moves his home
around and around until he gets the
breeze where he wants it. OF course
sunshine and shade will be his to CON-
mand, and if he desires to sleep late
and the light is in his window he
presses the button near his bed and
swings away from the east
The house was designed by Mr.. Rel
man himself. and the plans as drawn
show that his scheme is eminently prac-

Israel Zangwill, the British novelist
has added a novel problem to the wom-
an suffrage question. Mrs. Humphrey
Ward opposes votes fo- women. Mr..
Zangwill finds that the reason for this
is that as a novelist she has discovered
and analysed the weakness of her sex,
and he replies that as male novelist
he has learned the 'boundless vanity,
selfishness, and hysterical emotional
ISM of men. He concludes that his sex
is utterly untitled to be trusted with
power question is raised here which
readers of novels may answer for them
selves Do male writer's idealize wom-
en-. and do women tictionists idealiZe
men? Did not Thackeray .eXpound the
vanity of woman as well as worship his
saints in muslin? And did not George
Eliot make Maggie Tulliver more of a
hero than Tom?

next choice would probably be the
bumpers The bumpers" are the
projections on the end of a freight ear
Just above the coupling block. On
some cars they are broad and extend
he whole width Of the car. On other
cars they are barely three inches wide,
scarcely more than a narrow block.
The hobo who intends to make the
bumpers walks down the track few
hundred feet ahead of the locomotive
and waits for the train to pass him.
He NAV see some cover for hiding, or
he may assume an air OF nonchalance
to throw the crew off it's guard. AS
the train approaches he steps along
side the track and waits for his car"
which he has previously sized up, to
come abreast of him. AS it passes he
runs alongside, grabs for the handles,
and swings himself up to the steps.
Then he crawls up between the cars
and stands with one foot on the
bumper of each car.
1t is a dangerous position, especially
on fast freights, for the cars, I'M
equipped with the absorbing springs
with which passenger coaches are
fitted, sway and jerk and jounce
alarmingly, and there is no hint Of
unison between them. Nevertheless a
trip Of $50 miles is looked upon as
nothing by the seasoned hobo.
On bad roads, where the crews are
particularly hostile against excursions
Of this nature, it is quite frequently
necessary to ride the rods over a
considerable stretch OF country. When
this mode of travel is used there is
always an attempt to avoid the watch
full eyes Of the crews. This is com
paratively easy under the cover Of
darkness, but in the daytime the "bo'
must take advantage of any strate-
gically placed box car or pile Of ties
abreast of him. Such a hiding place
must not be too far from the track.
for in such an event he could be seen
from the top Of the train as he stepped
out
AS a car with good rods comes he
steps out and runs alongside. When
the car door comes even with him he
clutches the handle in the middle and
with springing jump he lands with
his feet upon the outer rod. From
this position he stoops down and
reaches underneath the car to grasp
some Of the mechanism Of the air
brake in order to steady himself
while he crawls down beneath the car
and stretches himself along the rods
This is probably the most dangerous
Of any way to ride. A mans position
is cramped and uncomfortable. The
constant passing of innumerable ties
and the monotonous click Of the
wheels over the rails make one care
