one, shorter, Esther, a Jewish orphan
girl VINO had been reared by his cousin
Mordecai, was chosen. / think there are
strong evidences that neither Mordecai
nor herself would have chosen this
course If they had been free to choose.
They submitted because there was no
way out of it. She kept her Jewish de-
scent hidden. She must have been a beau
uful woman. and of charming character.
Her elevation to the throne occurred four
years after Vashti had been deposed.
MAKING WRATH TO PRAISE.
Five years later an event occurred which
showed how God had been working all
through these events. Haman was a
descendant OF Amalek Between the
Amalekites and Israel there had been
declared undying hatred and enmity. Ha-
man, as one OF the 127 princes had
gotten into the good graces of xerxes,
and had been promoted by the latter
TO the position of prime minister. His
chair was higher than that of any other
except Xerxes' The king thought so
much of him that he had ordered that
every one should bow down and do him
worship as he passed through the streets.
In a very real sense he idolized Ha-
man.
All did as the king commanded except
one. Mordicai the Jew. That his disobe-
dience was not due to lack of loyalty
was shown by the fact that he had saved
the kings life few years before by
exposing a plot against IT. a record OF
which service had been made in the court
journal II was his loyalty to his God
that made him refuse, and when asked
his reason Tor disobeying, he gave this.
Coming to Humans ears, this gave
him HIS opportunity. 1t would have been
beneath him to take Mordicafs life SIM

About 50 years after the 10000 Jews
took advantage OF the decree OF Cyrus
and went from Babylon back to Jeru-
salem. there came to the throne OF Per-
STA ane Ahasuerus. known to history as
xerxes. He inherited a vast domain.
He was the supreme ruler over what is
now the largest part OF Asia, southeast
ern Europe and northern Africa. There
were III provinces in the kingdom, and
his word was law.
In the third year Of his reign he
gathered the princes of his provinces to
a great display lasting six months. to
impress them with the vastness and
glory OF his dominion. 1t ended with a
feast Of seven days. during which wine
flowed all too freely. Each had a gold
vessel TO drink from. and no two were
alike. The wine, as II usually does. made
him make fool OF himself. In his drunk
en- reyelry he bethougnt himself of his
beautiful queen vashu. and he sent for
her to come into their presence unveiled
and let all see her exquisite beauty. It
was and is a shame for Persian woman
to unveil her face except to her husband;
il would have brought not only herself
but her husband into dishonor had she
obeyed his command. she very properly
refused. Xerxes followed the advice OF
his counsellors, who were probably as
drunk as he when they gave IL, to his
subsequent regret, and deposed his
queen
Orders were then given that the most
beautiful maidens In all his realm should
be brought TO his harem 10 become his
wives, and fron1 then he would Sc
lect as the chief wife the one whom he
loved most. Whether the girls or their
parents desired IL or not, they had to
consent. for his word was law.

A clever French process by which
vine growers in France are able to mar
ket fresh outdoor grapes all through the
winter is thus described. Bunches Of the
finest grapes when ripe in autumn are
cut in such way that to each bunch a
piece of the vine ave or six inches long
remains attached. From this piece the
stems of the bunch hang, an arrangement
vitality necessary TO the success of the
operation.
A large number of the wide-mouthed
bottles, filled with water, is ranged in a
cellar and IN the open end of each is
inserted the pieces of vine stem, the
punches of grapes hanging outside. The
grapes do not touch the water, but are
thus supplied with moisture through the
vine stem, which is immersed in water.
BY this process choice varieties of table
grapes are kept In perfect condition for
the whole winter.
The temperature OF the cellar is uni
form and moderately low, and care Is
taken daily to supply the bottles with
the water lost by evaporation. Fruit
thus carefully tended is somewhat costly
but there are many patrons who willing

A successful West Virginia raspberry
grower gives the following reasons for
mulching:
1t prevents the growth Of weeds.
IT retains moisture in the soil.
1t adds humus, one of the necessary
elements.
1t keeps the fruit clean and prevents
mud al picking time.
1t saves labor. the cost of mulching an
acre with forest leaves or straw not ex-
ceeding SIS.
1t prevents deep freezing.
It makes the fruit more solid for culfi-
walton and better for shipping purposes.
1t prevents the baking of the soil
caused by tramping at picking time,
1t has the disadvantage of encourag ing
mice and establishing surface root sys-
tenn. However. we have not noticed any
serious damage from either of these eff
fects.
The cost of growing raspberries by ma
lures method. as i like to cal. it, is not
very great. Picking is nice job where
there is no mud. no weeds and where
the canes have been properly pruned.
Don't leave any old canes standing in
the field.
