THE people of the United States

a system of plumber often perpetrated
by men who would have been sur

from a curious moral perversion by

"The Top of the World"

Nothing shall be impossible unto you
Matthew, 1920.
There is a new flag at the top OF
the world. 1t pleases our vanity that
it is the Stars and Stripes, but it
might have been Dutch or English or
Russian, and the lesson would be the
same.
That new flag at the pole is mans
flag. 1t is more than national it
belongs to mankind. 1t stands for
the aspiring. bound-bursting. uncon-
querable spirit of man. And 1t is
fresh illustration of the great phrase
of this ancient Scripture, which for.
bids us to write the word 'impossi.
BILE" against any undertaking.
Such is the first lesson of this new
achievement. Who shall dare set
limitations to mau-fight, or bounds to
his ambition, or brake to his soul?
Not only is it true that what man has
done he can do-he can do more, be-
cause he is older and bolder and bet
ter. Some day he will ask a still
greater thing than Peary and Cook
have asked or won. He will push his
banner to the top of his own soul and
claim change of its climate.
But what better off are we with
new flag at the pole? Not much,
perhaps, according to the testimony.
Yonder is no new territory worth an
nexing; no mines to work or furs TO
gather or forests to cut. There is the
satisfaction Of being able to say 81
have arrived" But there is more
than that. The results of such de-
fiant daring are to be sought in man
himself. He is larger for having es.
sayed so much. His undertaking has
helped to make his soul" as the
French say. 1t is thus always. No
pain or strain of heroism is wasted
II it leave a deposit from the I'm
seen" in the soul of man. For the
sake of his own soul each must push
his flag to the top of the world.
This latest triumph is prophecy
too. 1t harbingers a day when earth
shall be one neighborhood--no north
or south, no east or west in the rela-
tions and hearts and hospitalities of
man. What the Arctic explorer has
done for geography the lover of man.
kind shall yet do for his race. We
are still small, provincial, selfish. We
are optimists according to the sarcas.
tic suggestion that IAN optimist is a
man who does not care what happens
Sc iOhS oo IL doco ilOl happtil W hllll.
But that day must pass, will pass. is
already passing. We are learning
that no man liveth to himself or dieth
to himself; that every man has n
stake in every other man on earth:
that we must open the world wide in
order to save our own hearthstonos
intact.
Seven centuries before Christ a
half naked prophet glimpsed a golden
age in which the wilderness and soil.
tary place shall be glad and the des.
ert shall rejoice and blossom as the
rose and sorrow and
sighing shall fee away" That bright
prophecy is coming true. / don't

FISHING WITH LAMP AND RAKE.
Profits From Artificial Fish Ponds in
England.

Very interesting experiments In the
extensive cultivation of fish are being
attempted by a well known pioneer
in cultivation. A series OF ponds are
dug and stocked with coarse fish,
whish have very steady sale in the
market. and the later results go to
show that an acre of water may yield
a profit of over R20. which compares
we'll with land, especially the clay
land in which the ponds are most
cheaply made.
The results are corroDorated by a
long established experiment in the
Black Country. In the grounds of a
hospital for cripples hundred years
ago pond was dug ont in lieu OF a
we'll and fed by pipes from the River
Stour. This pond abounds with
roach, perch, Dream and ellis, which
provide the home with one of the
staple articles of food.
The method OF catching the fish is
interesting. The paraphernalia are
a carriage lamp, an ordinary garden
rake and a bucket or two. Soon at
Ter sunset lne lamp Is I'LL ana turned
TO the water, AMI the fish so crowd
into the lit space that they can be
raked to shore several at a time.
Even the cells can ue caught in this
way II the lamp is removed a little
farther from the edge and the fisher
man is handy with his rake.
1t Is curious thing how very cas-
lily pond fish are cultivated, though
once their cultivation was common:
and there is no doubt that ponde
might make a useful addition to the
resources of many establishments.
There is no reason why every other
village should not have its fish ponds.

MEDICAL HERo,s DEED.

BY the death OF DR. Alfred Kuehne,
Vienna has lost a great medical hero.
Some winters ago. during a heavy
snowstorm. a Southern railway ex-
press ran into a sleigh at a grade
crossing. The locomotive was brought
TO a standstill after running over the
sleigh driver and crushing both his
legs. Unconscious from the shock
and loss OF blood. the man lay under
the engine, and 1t was impossible to
extricate him. DR.. Kuehne crawled
under the locomotive. and by the
fiickering light OF torches amputated
both legs. bound up the great arteries
and sewed together the wound. To
do this he lay three hours on his
stomach In the snow, with the heated
engine Immediately over him.
When at last the mutilated man
was released from his position he was
taken to the general hospital. The
famous Professor Billroth declared
Kuehne's work great deed of hero
Ism and surgery. and predicted that
his name would never be forgotten IL

COcoanut Milk,

With cocoanuts at five cents apiece,
as they were seen in Chinatown re-
Gently, cocoanut milk becomes about
as practical here as in the West In
dies. Many a woman has been put to
her wits end to know what to substi-
tute for this milk, which many re-
cipes from the tropics call for. This
is the way 1t may be obtained. Crate
four or five small cocoanuts and turn
over them three quarts of boiling
water. Then take a wooden spoon
and work the mixture until it is cool
enough to turn into a bag and
squeeze. Pour boiling water again
over the grated meat and work as be-
fore. Then throw the nut away.
Stand the pans containing the milk
in cold place and cream will rise.
This is the famed cocoanut cream. 1t
may be thinned with little of the
milk. The cream makes delicious
sauce for custard puddings. This
milk Is used in the tropics in curry
sauce and for other dishes. - New

May have a sky of grayy
Why should we mar the blessing

BY longing after Others
Or wishing tnere were morey
Look on the bright side always.

Since fretting never changes
What we thinks gone amiss.
Let's take things as we find them,
And make the best of life

And not its wrong and strife
Enjoy each hour of sunshine;
God gives it all in vain

Look on the bright side always.
And watch the blessings grow
