"FoI,ow Mel"

In these simple words Jesus drew
many to himself. They were the words
Of command and invitation. And
.cores and hundreds Of people in whose
hearts there was . great desire for the
divine companionship that the soul
linda in Jesus came to- him and were
satisfied.
And what he said to the people in
that day he says to the people III this
day. "Follow me-" But what did he
mean by that? What are we to under
stapd is involved In following Jesus
Christ? Let us look at . case. When
the rich young man stood before him
aud asked the question, "Master, what
good thing shall do that 1 may in
berit eternal life?" Jesus said to him,
"Sell all that thou hast and give to the
DOOR, and then come and follow me-"
1t that case the following Of Jesus
involved what seemed to the young
man to be great sacrifice, and indeed
too great sacrifice, for him to make.
His mind was full Of present blessings,
and there WAS no reason for the higher
idea of present sacrifice In order to
future blessing for himself and bis fel-
lows. He took q selfish view Of the
situation, and his own selfishness de
stroyed his happiness.
The true disciple Of Jesus Christ
must ever seek to keep selfishness al
the lowest possible point, and to mag
nifty in his own heart and life the
noblier principle Of service. That Ii
one thing that Is involved In following y
Jesus.-EpwOrth Herald.

A B,,,,,ess psrsbss.

Once q farmer had 800 bushels Of
wheat, which he sold, not to single
grain merchant, but 1900 different
dealers, . bushel each. A few Of them
paid In cash, but far the greater num-
her said II was not convenient then;
they would pay later. A few months
passed, and the mans hank account
nn low. 'How is this?" he said, my
1900 bushels Of grain should have kept
me In afIluence until another crop IL
raised, but have parted with the
grain aud have instead only . vast
number .of accounts, 30 small and
scattered that cannot get around and
collect fast enough to pay expenses. !"
So he posted up . public notice and
asked all those who owed him to pay
quickly. But few came. The rest
said, "MIne 10 only q small matter,
and will go and pay some Of these
days" forgetting that, though each
account Was very small, when all were
put together they meant . large sum
to the man. Things went on thus.
The man got to feeling 80 bad that he
fell out Of bed and awoke, and, running
to his granary, found his 1900 bushels
of wheat still safe there. He had only
been dreaming. Moral-The next day
the man went to the publisher Of his
paper, and said: "Here, sir, 10 the pay
for your paper, and when next years
subscription IL due you can depend
upon me to pay promptly. ] stood In
the position Of an editor last night. aud

Between the DAYS.
.ww~w~ ~W

Between the days, the weary days,
He drops the darkness aud the dew;
Over tired eyes His hand ne lays,
And strength and hope and life
renews.
Thank God for rest between the days
Else who could bear the battle stress
Or who Withstand the tempest's
shock,
Who tread the dreary wilderness
Among the pitfalls and the rocks,
Came not the night with folded fiocks?
The white light scortches and the plain
Streatches before US. parched with
the heat;
But, by and by, the fierce beams wane;
And 10! the nigl,tfall, cool and sweet,
With dews to bathe our aching feet!
For he rplnembereth our frame!
Even for this render praise,
0 tender Master, slow to blame
The falterer OH life's stormy ways,
Abide with us-between the days!

To Destroy Ants.

II ants are abundant at,Out your
premises, It IL probable that there are
trees or bushes infested with plant lice
near by. The ants visit these lice to
obtain the sweet secretion which they
give of. II this be the case, the first
thing to do is to destroy the plant lice.
II there are large ant hills to be de-
stroyed, the best and easiest method IL
to use carbon bisulphide, as follows:
Thrust crowbar or sharp stick to q
depth Of eigh or ten inches into the
ant bill. Pour In one full ounce oi
carbon bisulphide and quickly close the
opening with dirt. As soon NJ this is
done, throw q wet blanket over the
hill to keep down the carbon bisulphide
80 as to increase their efficiency IN
suffocating the ants. Do not remove
the blanket for at least an hour. II the
hill Is large, it will be advisable t.
make two Of these holes, ten inches OF
q foot apart.
II the ants are under the sidewalk,
raise the tagging, II possible, and apply
to the earth beneath, as In case Of the
ant hill, except that the tagging h
laid back In place instead Of using the
wet blanket.
Ifants are troublesome In the pantry
free use Of insect powder (alsO sold ai
"Pyrethrum" and persian Insect
Powdsr') upon the shelves and In the
runways Of the ants will usually bs
effectual In cleaning them out. At
this powder is not poisonous to people
1t may be used In abundance.-C.P P.

Flea Beetle


on kadishes, Cabbage, Lettuce and
Other Garden Plants.
A very sp,all black beetle that jumps
readily when anyone approaches was
very destructive In many parts Of Colo
RADIO last year to the above mentioned
garden vegetables. The beetles would
often attack the little plants be-
fore their leaves were well above the
surface Of the ground. This insect IL
not all easy one to manage.
We have had the best results In our
experiments by using insect powder
(also sold as "Pyrethrum" and as
"Persian Insect Powder"). II may be
obtained at any drug store. found
the hest time Of application to he In
the evening or very early morning.
The powder should be used very freely
upon the plants. There Is no danger
0f its injuring foliage or poisoning the
plants for human consumption. II this
insecticide Ii not available, much good
can be done by . thorough dusting Of
the plants by line road dust, ashes,
SCOT or air slaked lime. These applica-
tions simply serve to make the foliage
dlstastefuI to the beetles. &c. P. Gillette

Ssn.er Spray for Orchard pssst

Ifany Of the orchard plant lice have

destroyed before the winged broods sp-
pear, to enable the lice to scatter about
from tree to tree. and orchard To or.
chsrd. Very few Of the winged lice
appear before the Last week 10 May OF
the frst Of June. Before that time,
aud the sooner the better, the infested
trees should be sprayed with some one
Of the applications that are deadly to
plant lice.
Perhaps the best of all h ''Biack

Principles do not amount to much If
we are not ready to make sacrifices in
order to live up to them. Many a
young man who, In his heart, disap-
proves Of social drinking, fails to turn
down his glass for fear he may not be
invited another time to one Of these
festive occasions. Many girl hears
things she loves and reveres criticised,
and makes no effort TO defend them for
fear she may get-the reputation Of being
peculiar. II principle Is worth
having, 1t Is worth sacrificing for. To
hold to our principles as long as they
cost nothing and surrender them as
soon as they exact a sacrifice on our
part is little better than to be un-
principled. Young Peoples Weekly.

The dicipies who had seen their Lord
taken out Of their sight, went back to
Jerusalem rejoicing. Their Master was
no longer a visable presence beside
them, his voice no longer fell upon
their ears In loving counsel, but In
their last days together they had come
to understand the relative importance
Of this life and the life to come. They
looked beyond the coming years Of toll
and persecution into the eternity of joy
that awaited them, aud went their
way, praising God. Detection In a
Christian is the height Of unreasona-
bleness. Since every seeming loss
brings gain, since every hard experience
Is part Of the essential discipline Of life,
we ahould 60 on our way ~ the disci-
plea did, our hearts filled with worship
and with Joy.

Salmon Croquettes: Free . pound
and half Of salmon, fresh or canned,
from skin and bone and chop fine.
Season with the juice Of a half lemon,
tablespoonful Of chopped parsley, q
teaspoonful of salt and dash Of pap
rlka. Mix well. Put two cups Of milk
on TO boil. Put into q saucepan two
tablesptnnfuls Of butter and three Of
-four. When melted and bubbIy add
the hot milk aud stir until smooth and
thick. Add the salmon, stir until hot,
then turn on dish to cool. When
quite cold and firm form into cro-
quettes, roll In fine crumbs, then In egg
and again in crumbs. Fry In deep
bolling fat aud serve very hot, with a
garnish of lemon aud parsley. II these
are served for the fish course, accom-
pany them with fancy potatoes.
II housewives understood more fully
the processes Of hroiling, roasting and
boiling we would hear less complaint
of tough, tasteless meat. The princi-
Piles underlying all three methods are
identical, the difference lying In the
medium employed. The object to be
attained is to first quickly scar the ex-
terror Of the meat so as to coagulate the
surface albumen and effectually seal
the juices. The cooking should then
proceed more slowly to "a finish, the
time required depending as a matter OF
course OH the size Of the cut. In broil-
Ing aud in roasting, which are In re-
ality the same, the name depending on
the nature Of the piece Of meat, this
hardening Of the exterior Is accom-
plished by exposing the meat to the
direct action Of the heat.
Chicken Pot Pie:-Cut up fat hen,
wash clean, sprinkle with salt and set
away over night. In the morning put
on to cook In large porcelain kettle,
with tight fitting top. Cover the
chicken with water, add one onion cut
fine, salt and pepper 10 taste. Let cook
slowly until tender, which will take
three to four hours, according to age.
Then make the following dumplings:
Take one pint Of flour, add two heaping
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-hali
teaspoonful Of salt, a tablespoonful Of
butter aud rub all together until smooth
then break one egg into the ingredients
and mix to soft dough with cold
water. Roll out an inch thick, cut In
squares like crackers, let stand OH the
board fifteen minutes, then thicken the
gravy with -four and water, adding a
little milk; lay the dumplings OH toy
