Bases Of Belief.

This leaves no rational course but
TO rely for instruction upon this sub
1ect upon him who cannot deceive
or enzender delusive hopes-the Crca-
tor and governor OF the universe.
The teaching from this source lis
day experience,
II is that there are none perfectly
happy in this I!fc, and none perfect
lv and irretrievably miserable: tha:
there is every possible intermediate
grade between the most happy and
the most unhappy; and that the pro-
visions of God TO lead all men 10 q
more advanced state OF happiness are
increasingly operating and cannot
fail to accomplish the object God de-
signed.
I ask YOU TO do some careful rea-

Must Change Greed.

The reason why so many men pass
religion by as a thing apart Is be-
cause the church requires them to be-
lieve so many things that neither
can accept. II the church wishes To
regain its hold on thinking men st
must simplify and curtail it's crecds;
II must recognize that Gods love IS
not measured by the narrowness Of
human prejudice, and that Gods
arms are open TO receive every hon
est seeker after truth. Let il no
longer be thought Il mark of wicked
ness for man honestly TO hold
conviction differing from the conven-
tional standard; but let US respect
one anothcrs independent search
and judgment OF truth Faith does
not consist In any special theory
about God or his WAYS: faith con-
sists In Teverent attitude toward
life and all its mysteries, toward
the man who Is earnestly seeking TO
make life cleaner and sweeter and
more humane has more OF faith,
though he never assents to a single
article OF faith, than has the man
who assents 10 them all and yet is
doing little or nothing 10 make life
better than he finds H.
The essence Of faith lies not In
correct conclusions upon doctrinal
points, but in righteousness and love
and fairness.
The test of any mans thinking is
not whether II agrees with what
someone says is orthodox: the test is
does his thinking kindlc the fire of
love; does It make life sweeter, purcr
and nobler? Does II tend TO cleanse
out that which is low and mean and
selfish? Does II tend TO- exslt that
which Is beautiful and high? II il
does this. then Il is good thinking
whether II agrees with any standard
that any one has set up.

Immortal Hope.

Whatever you MAY think about il,
this much Is true. age after age finds
that humanity has the spiritual ca
pacity sensitive to the sublime
touches of the unseen world and tho
indwelling divine life.
Against al the subtilities of the
dislecticians, In the face OF all The
discoveries OF the scientists, the hu-
man heart makes its und,,ing pro-
tests. And the best brains and the
best hearts OF each age go on say
II think We are not wholly brain,
Magnetic mockeries: not in vain
Like Paul with beasts, | fought with
death;
Not only cunning casts In clay:
Let science prove We are, and then
what matters science unto men?
And least TO me, i would not stay.
Let him the wiser man who springs
Hereafter, up from childhood shape
Ills action like the greater ape:
But 7 WAS born to other things"
Such is the answer of the heart 10
every analysis or physical inyestica-
tion-
And because there Is such answer
nf the heart, therefore there is strong
reason for belief that life goes on.
But l am not concerned with that
question today; l assume that for tho
purpose OF my argument. Then the
one question is: For whom does life
80 on2
Now. theology and the church an
swers with one accord that some go
on 10 transcendant bliss and some 10
cNcruciating torment for eternity,
and that all this is determined dur
ing the probation in the flesh, II
we inquire OF the churches what re-
liable indication there Is on this side
ihe grave as 10 who will be among
the blest and who among the aG-
cursed beyond the grave. We shall re-
celve as many different answers as
there are different sects or denomi-
nations, all claiming Jesus for their
guide.

HOW TO FUMIGATE HEN HOUSE
Building should Be Closed Tightly
and All Fowls Excluded-Be
Careful Of Poison Used.

Fumigation Is a means OF reaching
germs and insect life in the air OF
the room and in the cracks and cram
MES Of the wood work, says the Guilt
vator. The house or room should be
tightly closed and all fowls excluded
during fumigation. A simple method
!s to burn the sulphur candles now
sold at stores dealing in poultry sup
plies. The fumes Of birthstone may
also be produced by burning in a
metallic basin (such as an old iron
kettle) number of rags previously
soaked in melted sulphur. Sulphur
may be mixed with little alcohol or
kerosene oil and burned, or 1t may be
sprinkled upon live Goals placed In q
chatting dish. The house or room
should be kept closed for several
hours and then opened as thoroughly
as possible to allow the wind to drive
out any remaining trace of poisonous
gas. In fu1nigating by burning sub.
stances be careful not to set fire to
the building. Remember also that in
most cases the substances which are
used are poisonous to human life and
to fowls Carelessness in their use or
in leaving them about where chick or
child can get at them may have dire
results.

KILLING SURPLUS OF DRONES
California Bee Keeper Gives DesorIp-

II have read in the bee journals
description of queen-sieve and its
USES but never saw drone-sieve de-
scribed, although the occasion for Its
use may arise in every apiary some
times. Here is one that | have been
using with good results: | nail
queen-excluder to the bottom of an
empty hive body and set it on top
Of another hive body close to the
hive to be operated on, and shake
into this sieve bees and drones from
every comb except the queen, and
cover it as quickly as possible. After
replacing the combs l put Porter
bee escape on top, and on this the
sieve with the drones, after having
brushed off the bees that have clus-
tered on the under side of the sieve.
Next morning you find all the bees
that remained with the drones have
passed down the escape, and the
drones on their backs kicking the
bucket. To shorten the agony OF
death, put the sieve over teaspoon
full of burning sulphur, and in minute

Euas Should BE Packed In Neat Cases.
that the merchant is compelled to take
them or lose their trade. Second, and
by far the greatest reason, is because
of ignorance on the part Of the farm
er as to what and how to sell eggs.
When the hens on the farm are
producing enough eggs to warrant the
farmers taking them to town, ar
engagements should be made to handle
all of them properly. A convenient
and clean place should be provided
wherein the hens can lay. The nat
ural tendency of a hen is to go Off
in the weeds and make her nest. This
should not be tolerated and any eggs
found in such places should be marked
and kept at home.
When the clean, fresh eggs are
battered they should be put In
clean, dry, cool place until marketed.
Even though the place is clean and
cool, ii it is not dry, molds, etc, will
commence development and the eggs
will soon spoil. If the eggs become
damp and they happen to be in con-
tact with any colored material they
will Immediately become stained.
Good egg cases in a cool, dry, clean
place, kept up off of the floor, make
an excellent receptacle in which to
keep eggs previous TO marketing
Before these eggs are set aside for
market, they should be gone over by
the farmer as he collects them, and
all small, stained, dirty, doubtful, in
cubator and rotten eggs should be
removed Small and dirty eggs, II
used Immediately, are just as good as
large clear ones, but they will not
sell we'll on the market, and IL sent
in with good eggs will spoil the trade.
Therefore, they should be kept and
used at home. No eggs should be
washed, for the packers claim they
will not keep well. All eggs from
stolen nests, whose freshness Is doubt
full, and all incubator eggs should
either be thrown away, boiled for the
little chicks or used at home. They
should never be sent to market. Rot
ten eggs need not be discussed. Any
person VINO Will StHu oilc W Liui hOe
deserves all the penalty possible from
the pure-food law.
When eggs have been properly
gathered, handled and kept previous
to taking to market, the question
of the number of trips to town should
be considered. In hot weather the
eggs should be marketed two or three
times per week, and oftener If pos
sible. II that number of trips cannot
be made, cooperate with a neighbor
and have him alternate days in the
trips which must be made.
In the fall and spring eggs should
be marketed at least once a week.
Many buyers have had trouble in No
vember with eggs classed as held
eggs" These are common, because
most farmers believe that after frost
eggs will not rot SO quickly, but never
theless they do evaporate and the air
cells in them show the GAMBLER that
they are stale.
Therefore, the more often eggs are
marketed, the greater are the chances
that they will be good.

NEW FLY ExTERMiNATOR.

A new discovery for the exterminn,
ton OF flies. which may be effective in
paving a way to complete eradication
of the pests, was tried out In the Of
fee of the health officer for the Dis
trict Of Columbia the other day Sew,
eral hundred insects were liberated In
a room and we're dead In few min
utes afterward
An atmosphere charged with an alco-
holic dlstillation of the long leaf pine
is what killed the insects 1t is said
the dlstillation Is strong enough to
provide short drinNless drunk for hui
man beings.
A North Carolina man is credited
with the discovery. To demonstrate
the effectiveness OF the method a trap
containing several hundred flies was
opened In a room A small blower for
charging the atmosphere with the
mixture was used Within few
minutes the insects began to fall to
the floor lifeless and 1t was not long
until all were dead Several water
insects which had been turned loose
on the floor expired in the same way
1t was explained that flies breathe
through the pores In their bodies and
that the pine leaf product closes the
pores and thus stops respiration. The
mixture, It is stated, is not injurious
to human beings.

NEW GOLDEN EGG STORY.

1.-The best story OF Cuba illustrating
childish incapacity in financial mat
ters," says Paul V. de Graw, fourth as
sistant postmaster general. lis one
credited to Paul de Graw OF Havana,
a gentleman ! have never met, but
am sure he must be all right with
that name.
THE other De Graw was living In
Camaguey and discovered beautiful
La France rose bush owned by an old
Cuban woman. He was then counting
the girl who is now Mrs. de Graw and
he made contract with the Cuban
woman for all the roses produced by
the bush at peseta each, about ~
cents Of real money.
He saw that two buds were about
due, so a day or two later he sent his
man down for the roses. The man
came back and said there was some
mistake, for the sonora said she had
no rose bush.
Telling the man how stupid he
was De Graw went himself and found
that the woman had sold the bush for
30 cents, Spanish money, about 80
cents In American currency, because
getting the money at II cents rose
WAS too slow.
There may be instances where this
system OF finance has been tied, but
am sure 1t has never been beaten"

SELL ONLY THE FRESH EGGS
Some Farmers Deliberately Impose on
Small Merchants by Giving
Goods Known to Be Stale.
(By A. G. PHILLIPS, Kansas.)

(By A. G. PHILLIPS, Kansas.)
Selling eggs is one Of the handiest
ways for the farmer to get a cash
or trade return for his produce, during
all parts of the year, and if he can
increase the efficiency Of the machin-
cry which produces and handles these
eggs he is putting into his pocket good
hard cash.
Almost every housewife who Is
compelled to buy eggs constantly
clamors for some method which she
may pursue in order to always get
fresh eggs. There is no housewife
who has not some time or other had
the great displeasure of handling spoil
ed or rotten eggs. This almost con-
slant occurrence, with the possible
exception of the winter months, prac-
tically compels those who lecture and
carry on experiment station work to
plead with the farmers who produce
the eggs to put onto the market bet
ter produce.
The egg loss each year is enormous
and is beyond all reasonable justiflca-
ton, and the blame lies, at least in
part, with the farmer for the following
two reasons:
First some few farmers deliberate
ly take to market eggs which they
know are not fresh, because they know

ThouohtfuI Wife,

Weary Of life, a farmer went out to
his barn and hanged himself. A little
later his wife, entering the barn to
feed some animals, saw her husband
swinging from the rafters. Arguing
that If, as 1t was natural to think. her
husband intended to commit suicide.
he would be exasperated by the frus-
tration OF his intention, she left the
body as 1t YVES and went on with the
work Of the farm.
Several hours later In the evening.
when her daughter came back from
the fields, the woman told her what
had happened Mother and daughter
deliberated for some time as to what
ought to be done. and finally decided
to inform the mayor. When that off,
cial came in haste and cut down the
body life had been extinct for several
hours.--London Telegraph.
