Today's rain did not drown the
fly.
Instead ii added just enough
moisture to hasten the Matching OF
flies. Flies breed in filth. The
necessary conditions for the hatch
ing of their eggs are. first, heat.
and second moisture. These two
factors are best supplied under the
filthiest conditions. notably in sta
lie deposits, fermenting vegetable
and animal matter. tn" garbage pail
and the refuse pile.
Scientists say. if given her first
choice a female fly will lay her
GIGS in stable manure. as this will
retain its heat and moisture longer
than any other refuse.
Flies will not travel more than
800 to 800 feet from their breeding
place. Thus the elimination OF breed
ing spots will do much to mitigate
the fly nuisance. 1t is estimated
that 100 flies may be bred in one
pound of stable refuse.

The two forces Of education are
truth and Observation-Disclosures
and the teacher. The two work
together. Truth without the teacher
is a cup without water. The teacher
without truth Is q soldier without his
sword. The two united-the truth
inspiring the teacher, and the
teacher quickened by the truth
are effective and only thus effective.
AS q result. the pupil knows. and is
trained. The two forces do give
education. In personality it is ever
to be remembered Is included love on
the part Of the teacher toward the
pupil. Without this love. service is In
peril of being dead and deadening.
The Bible presents these same two
forces. 1t is called the Book Of Truth
and Of truths. It sees and tells
things as they are. Its commands
are not mere intimations. They are
made to be obeyed. Neither are its
threatenings soft chidings. They are
in places sulphurous. Its curses are.

The Bible also presents and con-
stantly deals with personalities.
From the first chapter of Genesis to
the last chapter OF Revelation the
human element appears. The central
and controlling personality is Jesus
Christ. He is the great Teacher. He
knows, is inspired by and uses the
truth. He cries: II am the Truth"
His closest friends are called disci-
pies. He loves them. He calls them
to be his companions and friends.
With their dullness He is patient. in
their faithlessness He is faithful, in
their distress He delivers, in all
their trials He is sympathetic. He
embodies that supreme secret Of
education: He calleth his own
sheep by name. and leadeth them

A TINY MOUND.


Amid all the whirl and dizziness of
iife's tragedy, in which creation
seems to be but one great cloud, |
find myself suddenly brought to n
sweet baby's grave. a gray old
church, gurgling stream, far
spreading thorn tree on green hill
ock, and Il grave on the sunny south
! erly side. That is it. Thithcr | has
ten night and day, and in patting the
soft grass feel as if conveying some
sense of love to the little sleeper far
down. Do not reason with me about
it; let the wild heart, in its sweet de-
lirium of love, have all its own way.
Baby was but two years old when
like dewdrop, he went up to the
warm sun, yet he left my heart as
have seen ground left out of which n
storm had torn great trees. We talk
about the influence of great thinkers,
great speakers, and great writer's;
but what about the little infants
power? Oh, child of my heart, no poet
has been so poetical, no soldier so
victorious, no benefactor so kind, as
thy tiny, unconscious self. lfeel thy
soft kiss on my withered lips Just
now, and would give all | have for
one look of thy dreamy eyes. But
cannot nave II.
Yet God is love. Not dark doubt.
not staggering argument, not subtle
sophism, but childdeath, especially
where there is but one makes me
wonder and makes me cry in pain.
Baby! baby! l could begin the world
again without II loaf or friend if |
....:i bat thee; such beginning, with
all its hardship, would be welcome
misery. do not wonder that the
grass is green and soft that covers
that little grave, and that the summer
BIRDS sing their tendcrest notes rs
they sit on the branches of that old
hawthorn tree.
My God! Father of mine, i'm the
blue heavens, is not this the heaviest
cross that ca crush the weakness of
man! Yet that green grave, not
three feet long, is to me n great es-
tate, making me rich, with wealth un-
told. l can pray there, and there my
heart says strange things in strange
words-Baby, | am coming, coming
soon! DO you know me? Do you see
me! DO you look from sunny places
down to this cold land of WEAKNESS?
On, baby, sweet, sweet baby, | will
try for your sake to be better
man; will be kind to other little bah
les, and tell them your name, and
sometimes let them play with your
toys; but oh, baby, baby, my old
heart sobs and breaks.-Joseph Par

should close down the mines on the

we should never lose our appetilc
