The Water of Life.

Salvation Is free. Yes, free as any
thing man can conceive to exist, as
the very air we breathe, or the water
we drink. And yet how few there
are who avail themselves of its bless
ings.
But, says one, If the religion of
which you speak is adapted to my
wants, and is free, why do | not pos
sess 1t? There are even some persons
who murmur because God in His
goodness has so freely offered saliva
tion to lost and ruined world They
wish the Almighty would, and try to
convince themselves that He does,
oblige all to be saved; and thus, by
compelling them to enter the King.

not one of freedom, but of endless
slavery.
party of persons embark upon a
river, and are borne along with its
tide towards the ocean. The scenery
upon every side enchants them: and
the breeze refreshes them. After
while they become thirsty. A portion
the company put forth an exertion,
and partake of the water of the river
which upon every hand surrounds
them The remainder simply neg
iSct, tHirSI OH, anu Hnally perish for
want of water; and yet no individual
would for moment deny that the
water was free, and as free for the
one class as the other.
Thus 1t is with the fountain of liv-
ing water so freely offered in the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. Moment by
moment we are hurrying down the
river of time, to the eternity beyond.
We may, perchance, be surrounded
by friends who have drunk at the
fountain, and in whom 1t is as a we'll
of water springing up into everlast-
Ing life. They would rejoice to see
US partaking of the same, which is
offered as freely to us as them; the
Spirit of God which has, even since
our earliest recollections, surrounded
us by its blessed influences, and which
has been rejected by us, is still point
Ing us to the Lamb of God, who
taketh away the sin of the world,

take OF the Water of Life, and perish.

Fruit and POultry.

A profitable combination on small
farm within Gasp reach of good mar
ket is fruit and poultry.
Hens, to do well, require a liberal
range that contains bushes or trees
enough to supply partial shade. They
also require variety of green stuff,
with a sprinkling of insects. Such o
combination may be easily supplied
by planting the land to fruit and en-
closing 1t in poultry netting wire.
The hens do not know that they are
confined. They dig little here and
there, but quickly abandon the task
to chase moth or a grasshopper. II
the trees or bushes are mulched they
work in the little to their entire sat-
isfaction, destroying many insects.
All the bush fruits are benefited by
poultry, provided the soil Is made soft
enough for them to scratch. Bush
fruits cannot thrive we'll In ground
that is packed down hard or covered
with a mat of grass. But IL the plow
and cultivator are operated as they
should be early in the season, the
ground is put in condition to yield
fruit and benefit the fowls, which is
the most profitable way to get tive
crops from the land at once.-Farm

Practical Poultry Points.

A cool. airy scratching shed is bet
ter than dark, closed house for the
day room.
There is no foundation for the as
sertion that the "sweet. rich flavor"
OF the egg belongs to the breed. That
condition can only be brought about
by the quality of the food.
Bad cases of feather eating havo
been cured by painting around the
bare places on hens that have had
their feathers plucked with a prepar-
alton made of powdered aioes dis
solved in alcohol. Hens do not like
the bitter taste.
Board floors in the chicken house
are better than wet ground, but dry
ground is best OF all.
Vegetables OF some kind should be
fed the poultry the year round, cab
bage, potatoes. beets. turnips, etc.
Shredded alfalfa, which costs about
two cents per pound, is a fine green
food where yards to provide the
same fresh are not available. II can
either be fed dry in boxes or scalded
then added to one-third bran mash

Why Their silverware Lasts.

The Dutch, when they invite you,
and they are not a guest-seeking race,
are extremely hospitable. Some.
times. however. when it comes to
dinner. their active hospitality de-
mands an energetic recognition. The
table is laid with piles of plates be-
fore each chair. On your first visit
the spoons and forks are heavy silver,
the knives of the finest steel and
ivory. You never, however, eat with
them again. When you have been
shown that family possesses them,
that ends 1t. You eat thereafter from
everyday ware.
What would the silver be like
for our descendants IL we used II
often?" an old lady asked me. What
would we have II our ancestors had
been careless ?"-Harper' Bazaar.

MAN MUCH BITTEN BY BEAR


A thrilling bear story is contained
In a report received at the Navy De-
partment from Passed Assistant Sur
geon G. c. Grleve. in charge of the
naval hospital at Sitka, Alaska.
The captain Of fishing sloop was
brought to the hospital for treatment.
An examination showed that he had
been bitten no less than sixty-four
times by female brown bear and
had received in addition many deep
scratches.
The fishing captain landed one day
on the shore OF Rodman Bay to hunt
for deer. On his return at night he
stumbled on the bear with her two
young cubs.
Before he could use his rifle the
bear was upon him. In the struggle
that ensued the man was bitten in
all parts of the body.
For three days he lay where he had
fallen, without food or drink except
a few berries he was able to gather
and the moisture he could get from
leaves. He began his trip down the
mountain, crawling inch by inch, and
reached the beach on the evening of
the seventh day. He was pestered
by mosquitoes. which at that time of
year in Alaska are frightful The
wounded and almost naked man was
compelled to turrow in the leaves
and moss.
His companions went in search OF
him, but they did not find him until
he reached the beach. He was taken
at once to the Sitka hospital. where
he was found to be delirious and ema-
ciated.
Treatment was administered, al
though there seemed little chance
that he would recover. He was ont
that ne would recover. He was out
OF the hospital, however, within
thirty-seven days.
Surgeon Grieve in sending the re.
port, which is in the simple language
OF an official communication, says:
The case Is interesting in that n
shows the remarkable nerve OF the
man. his powers of endurance and
the resistance OF his system to infec.
tion. It also serves to disproye the
time-honored fallacy originating IN
the claim OF old hunters that bears
never bite man. ."-Washington Star

REJOICE.

In the morning time, rejoice.
Hear ye not the tuneful rhyming
Of all things-the gifts of God?
Each shortening shadow; each frightening
vision
Doth more plainly show the beauty
Of the love that lie bestows.
From the distance comes the cadence
Of the zephyrs, soft and low,
Singing in their morning freshness
Of the long, dark night Just past
Within the heart there is reflected
Every image from without
Every love and every beauty,
Every JOY and every duty
And methinks that Hope doth whisper,
" lis a foretaste of the morn which comes
When time shall be no more"
