think awhile Life and death;
the battle between life and death;
life conquered by death; and
conquered again by life. Those
were the mysteries over which the
men OF old time thought, often till
their hearts were sad. And because
our forefathers were a sad and earn
est folk; because they lived In a sad
and dreary climate, where winter was
far longer and more bitter than II Ia,
thank God. now; therefore all their
thoughts about winter and spring
were sad; and they grew to despair,
at last, of life ever conquering death,
or light conQuering darkness.
All living things would die. The
very gods would die, fighting to the
last against the powers OF evil, till the
sun should sink forever. and the world
be heap OF ashes. And then-so
strangely does Gods gift Of hope
linger In the hearts OF men-they saw
beyond all that, a dim dream Of n
new heaven and new earth, In which
should dwell righteousness; and OF a
new sun, more beautiful than ours;
of woman called Life" hid safe,
while all the world around her was
destroyed, fed on the morning dew,
preserved to be the mother OF a new
and happier race OF men. And so to
them, heathens as they were, God
whispered that Christ should some
day bring life aud Immortality to
light.

Paul, "to gather together In Christ

HAVE SPECIAL EASTER DISH
Cannon Of Bacon and Tsnsy Pud-
ding Are Features OF the Season
In English Country.

In Devonshire, England, the special
Easter dish Is a CANNON OF bacon
and tansy pudding. the latter being
so we'll established a custom that 1t Is
celebrated in an old ballad:
At stool-ball Lucia, let us play
For sugar. cakes and wine;
Or for a tansy let us pay.

At trundling OF the ball.

And my misfortunes all.
In Staffordshire the men lift the
women OF the various villages on Eas-

take a try at lifting the men on Eas-

lifting chair. In Chester Easter Mon
day is celebrated by ball playing be-
tween the clergy and laity. In Dur
ham the men take of the women's
shoes on Monday and have the unique
courtesy returned in kind on Tues
day. Nearly all these customs OF Eas"
ter have been too closely associated
with the place of their occurrence to
suffer transportation, although the
whip-lashlng of the Polish children
bears a striking resemblance In it's
turn-about-is-fair-play idea to the Eng

WERE ADDING FUEL TO FIRE
Sailors Not Aware of Error They
Were Committing in Pouring
Water on the Lime.

The crew OF the British steamer
Harrington. which is now discharging
a huge cargo of coal for Uncle Sam
at California City. had an exciting
lesson in chemistry on arriving here
from Norfolk. Shortly after dropping
anchor Of Meiggs wharf a launch
came alongside. This launch brought
out a quantity OF provisions and 9th
er articles that had been ordered by
the agent of the steamer some days
before it's arrival.
Some lime was needed for various
purposes on the big freighter and n
barrel Of the white stuff was among
the supplies taken out on the launch.
The barrel was among the first cargo
put on the steamer from the little
boat alongside. There was quite a
swell on at the time and through a
little opening in the barrel as it re-
posed on deck the spray s~prinkled the
inclCsed lime until the swollen con-
tents loosened some of the joints Of
the barrel. When the sailors lowered
the barrel into the forward hold the
sizzling and smoking were really on.
In alarm they rushed to the officer on
deck and told him there must be a
fire. as volumes of white smoke we're
curling their way up from the hold.
The officer, supposedly much wiser,
al just as ~perturbed at the situa-
ton as his men and ordered a spray
ing from a hose on the line. Phe
more water it received the more the
lime smoked and the crew rushed
about to get auxiliary fire apparatus.
AT just the height of the hurly-
burly the chief engineer came on
deck. He took in the situation at a
glance.
What are you darn fools doing,
anyway? Trying to drown us all?"
The hose brigade was quickly
called off and the lime got no more

wanted in order to have its smoke.

STORE MANURE FOR GARDENS
Practice of Fertillzing Every Year
Late In Fall or In Spring Is Net
Always fer the Best.

4 common practice Is to manure the
garden every year late in the fall or
before planting in the spring. no fur
Their attention being given. This prac-
tice, however, is not the best.
The manure for the garden should
be kept in a large box with a lid or
so screened that flies cannot enter it
Manure heaps are the natural breed
ing places of these pests, and IL they
are allowed to remain nea the house
uncovered will prove a great nuisance.
A good plan is to use a very close
wire screen nailed to a frame with
hinges for the top. The manure
should be spaded often on the top so
that the water from the clouds or the
sprinkling pot may penetrate to every
part Of it.
If kept in a box a spout should be
placed in one corner at the bottom, SO
that the water may drain into a sunken
barrel.
This will supply liquid manure,
which can be used at all seasons when
vegetables and flowers are growing.

CEDAR MAKES BEST FENCING

scrub ram, like the scrub stallion,
must be driven out of the country. il
present conditions are to be improved.
Not every pure bred ram, however.
is a good individual, although he may
have a pedigree TO his credit. Some
registered rams are inferior In type
and conformation and will not make
any improvement in a flack.
Points of a Good Breeding Ram.
The points 10 be considered in the
selection of a first-clas breeding ram
are as follows:
He should be medium sized. and not
too large for his breed. He should pos.
sess all the indications of vigor, vital
ity. and masculinity. This is shown
by a short broad head, large nostrils
and bold. clear eyes. He should be
active and vigorous with a strong. rug
ged constitution. for there is no ami
NAL so worthless as a weak, puny
sheep.
Handle the Ram.
Do not take a ram before hand
ling him and in the handling see TO
II that he is broad and deep chested
with we'll sprung ribs, a strong and
level back. a c~apacious middle and
well developed quarters. alert and &C
tive on his feet and in avery way
indicating a strong, active and ener
getic disposition.
