Hard For the Eskimos,

One. of the difficulties of the Mora
 vian missionaries ill Labrador is to make the Old Testament, with it's wealth of pastoral detail, ineligible 10 the Eskimos, not one of whom has ever seen horse. 'Sheep and cattle" says Hesketh Pritchard in Hunting Camps ln Wood and Wilderness,
 they cannot realize or conceive of, for there are no domesticated animals save dogs ill that portion of the penin- sula. They comprehend the story of Esau, the hunter, and that of Samson and the lion, which animal can be translated as polar bear, but of Abra- ham in the land of Mesopotamia they can form no picture. The nearest ap. prouch to these ideas is drawn from the harvest of the sea. seals and fish taking tie place of flocks and herds

Why lie Wanted References.

At a credit men's dinner one of tbs veterans told this story: Tn ihc recon struction days q man from Mlssis- sip# valley town caIne to our western house one day. We had sold him be- fore in q small way, and he always paid. He had enlarged his business, lie told US, and wanted a bigger line than usual, but before making his SC lections he wanted Us to give him ref efences. We expressed surprise at such an unheard of demand, but he said, My two brothers-in-law have gone in with me, and they're very par tlcular as to whom they do business with So we sent him to our banks, and he came back, said we were all right, picked out a big line of goods, and in sixty days he busted We couldn't collect a dollar. Two years later l met the man in Cincinnati and told him we had become reconciled to our loss. But will you please tell me- 1 asked, why did you want references as to our credit? Well, you see, he Answered, I wanted to know if you eould stand it. t.'"-Exchange.

MistIetoe a Menace.

Few people who know mistletoe only as q desirable feature of Christmas decorations understand that the plant is a parasite dangerous to the life Of trees in the regions in which 1t grows. It is only a question of time after mistletoe once begins to grow upon :, tree before the tree itself will be killed. The parasite saps the life of the infected branches. Fortunately it is of slow growth. taking years to de. velop to large proportions. but when neglected it invariably ruins all trees it reaches. The only method of extcr. imitation is the cutting down of dis eased trees.-Exchange

CHERRY SEASON RECIPES.

Dear Editor and Sisters: I hope you have all been as pleased with the raia as l have. My flowers have grown a few inches since Monday and mI neighbOrs yards are beautiful with bud and blossom.
 Sama ntha, I think the cause of the juices being so thin is the place you keep your fruit In order to keep fruit in cans perfect. the fruit must be sound and ripe never over-ripe. Juicy fruits absorb less syrup than drier kinds. Always let the jars get cold before putting away. and the cellar must be very dry one or the fruits will lose flavor as well as get thin. Can you not put them in some dry but not warm place.
 Cherry time is almost here, so send a few recipes:
 Cherry shortcake -sift two cups of flour with one-half teaspoon soda. rub in two tablespoons of butter. add a half cup of sour milk and a half cup of sweet milk and bake in rouns: pan. Split and butter while hot. cover the two halves with pitted cherries and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
 Cherry Tarts-Put one cup of sugar and one-half cup of water in a stew pan; when boiling add two cups of pit ted cherries thicken with one tea spoon of arrowroot made smooth in a little cold water add one teaspoon of butter. let simmer 10 minutes; remove from fire, add one teaspoon of lemon juice and chill. Have tart shells made and when wanted fill with pre- pared cherries
 Pineapple Pie-Beat one cup of su- gar. one-fourth cup of butter and yolks of three eggs to cream, add one cup of sweet cream. one pinea pplc, grated. and the beaten whites of eggs. Bake with an under crust: serve cold.

 Looking tenderly at the child. her mother said:
 How did you know. dear?"
 Innocently the child replied: Cause you had on your company voice.
 No comment was made upon the chId's reply, but those words impress ed me deeply.

Like beautiful flow CTS, He is often found in the simplest path, and we know not when He will reveal Himself in love and beauty to our souls.

ROSE CULTURE
To Force Hybrid Perpetual Roses to Bloom
 Until Late Autumn

This requires constant cultivation, and liquid fertilizing, which I do as follows:
 Take a water tight barrel with but one head: bore a small hole through the head near the chine Place this in rear of premises, blocked up so that a receptacle can be placed underneath to catch the drippings. Into this put first a layer of fine tWigs or brush, then layer of coarse straw. Then fill the barrel partly full of the clean ingS from a poultry house.
 If there has not been a liberal use of air slaked lime beneath the perches, add a quart or more to each bushel Of the fertilizer, as you put it in the barrel Use an old iron or tin basin to catch the liquid, as a wooden pail will soon shrink and leak.
 The first pail of water in this mix ture will only moisten it all through. A pail of water the next day will start the drippings. Now, keep the earth loose around the plant. and with a stick make a circular groove about four Or five inches from the main slowly into the groove, taking care, especially with plants under two years old. not to allow any of the liquid to wash against the plant. as it is liable to cause a rot near the ground. Do this three times a week. At first it is very strong and for very young plants it is safer to dilute with water equal parts.
 Unless there are frequent rains, water often after sunset.
 The dish water saved through the day is excellent for this As the young tender shoots get well started

TO AMuSE CHILDREN IN vAcA-

Editor Social Corner: After school is out, whenever rainy day comes, the question of how to keep house ful of children quiet is rather prob lem Here are a few ways and shall be glad to have suggestions from others:
 First let them help with the house work, doing things other than their daily tasks. Then, for amusements, set of co1ored crayons ana a pile of old papers will occupy them for some time: cutting pictures is an old story, but let them paste the cut pictures on small pieces of blank paper. and then write sentence or story about eacn picture.
 If they can sew. let them make a set of bean bags then wind hoop with bright colored cloth, suspend the hoop from the ceiling: and hang in 1t a good sized bell. The game is. to throw the bags through the hoop with out touching the bell. Small bags count five and the large ones ten
