Trainiuu Men.

Many employers make the mistake of never training men themselves, but depend on men hired from their com petitors or from Qthor outside sources. No doubt 1t may be wise at times to go outside and get an infusion or new blood" 1t is sometimes an ab- solute necessity, for an organization can become hidebound in methods. But on general principles l have no hesitation whatever in saying if you want good men who will ii into your working organization you must be willing to pay the price of training your own men. One of the intangible assets which cannot be set down in the dollars and cents column and add ed up and yet which determines the figures which will finally appear in the profit and loss account is the asset of loyalty and good will and an employer has DO right to expect loyalty nom his raen if, when higher positions of responsibility are to be filled, men from the outside are pro noted over the heads of faithful and loyal men who often are more com. potent than the man who has been brought in from away over there. -- Current opinion.

The Weakness of Dickens.

In the Life of Dickens" 1t Is said that the basal weakness of that won derful man was that for him there was mo city of the mind built against outward ills for inward consolation and shelter" Here lay the tragedy of his days-that he lived from without inward. not from within outward;
 lived in the open. elittering and no- ticed, with the curtains of his soul up
 More than most men he was depend ent on what others said and did
 Applause was the stimulant on which he lived and without which his life lost it's interest and joy, making him restless and unhappy Such manner of life is precarious, for public favor is fickle and uncertain. Life cannot be carried to the highest ends with out spring of strength hidden from the multitude, a place of retreat; a closet of prayer.-Rev, J. x. Newton, Cedar Rapids Liberal Christian church.

EARLY CHINESE TRADE.

The rapid growth of our early trade with China is shown by the fact that the 3l vessels, carrying, in 1905, nearly five and three-quarters millions worth of goods to Canton, represented a larger fraction of our total foreign commerce than our trade with the whole of China does today. The silver imported to bal anee American trade with China averaged more than two and a half millions annually in the 30 years down to 1872, and reached a maxi mum of seven and half millions in 1SlS.- John Foord, in | Youths Companion.

Temperature for Plants and Humans.

Temperature for Plants and Humans.
 What does a plant need in the way of air and heat? By this, of course, house plants, not greenhouse varieties, are meant The common run of house plants geraniums, ferns, palms, etc. ask only for temperature of 70 by day and 60 by night. This is a very suitable temperature for human be- ings, too. There must be fresh air for plant every day, although they cannot stand a freezing draft any better than the housewife can. A door or window as far away from them as possible should be opened and the air be allowed to change gradually. A light cloth thrown over them will enable them to stand a good deal of cold air coming in. Forty-five Fahren- heit will not injure most plants.

How To Draw A Chicken

specialists of the department for drawing a chicken at home:
 CD Hold the chicken by the legs and run it quickly over the flame from a loosely-twisted lighted newspaper which. for safety, may be laid in a coal bucket or ash tray. This will remove the fine hairs. Remove any pin feathers with the point of a sharp small knife blade. The charred hair may be washed off later.
 @ Cut the legs off we'll be- low the knee joint. If the legs are cut above the knee joint the flesh on the drumstisk will be pulled back from the end.
 (3) Cut the head off. leaving as much of the neck as possible, then push the skin of the neck back and cut the neck off quite close to the body. The envelope of the remaining skin gives the dressed bird heater appearance. The neck bones with the adher- ing meat make a valuable addi- tion to the giblets. The gullet and windpipe are, of course, on the neck and must be pulled away.
 (4) To remove the entrails, make an incision about 23 inches in length across the abdomen and as close to the vent as poss- ible. In making this incision. be careful not to penetrate the intestine. Slip the fingers in first. and gradually insert the whole hand through the slit in the body cavity. Work the wis cera loose from it's attachments bv sliding the fingers over the inner surface of the body walls In this way, after a little prac tice, the viscera can be removed quickly and easily. The lungs will almost invariably tear, leav- ing shreds sticking to the back. These. and the kidneys of the chicken, which are two long, dark red bodies lying each side of the backbone and firmly fast ened, should be removed in pieces. 1 The rest of the viscera. including the crop which lies far front and just under the skin of the breast. when loosened will come out in a mass through the incisoon. The intestine is still attached to the bird at the vent. Then cut loose l ly around the vent, holding the intestine tightly between the | fingers to insure cleanliness. | Run a stream of water through the slit into the boby cavity in such wise that it flows out through the vent and cleans the short piece of intestine still re maining. Then cut both vent and intestine away, leaving a neat, round hole no larger than . is necessary.
 To prepere the giblets, detach the heart, giZzard, and liver, taking great care not to break the little green gall bladder at tached to the liver, which con tains a very bitter liquid which, if allowed to escape, will give g bitter flavor to the glbletS anC gravy. This gall bladder is SC close to the liver that some liver tissue must be cut, away to be on the safe side. The color of { healthy chicken liver may vary r from yellow to dark red. TC , prepare the gizzard, hold it witt : the thin edge toward the palm of the hand and make an incis ion the whole length along tht thick side, being careful merel, to cut through the muscle, bu ! not into the inner sack. Thel open the gizzard as you woult

Starting A Parcel-Posi
 Market For Eggs.

Market For Eggs.
 There are in our cities and towns many housewives who would be glad to make arrange ments for receiving a supply of fresh eggs direct from the farm throughout the year. Just at this time. when eggs are scarce and the demand far exceeds the supply of newly laid eggs, there is a good opportunity for the farmer, even though he has but few eggs to market, to make contract with some city or town family to supply them with eggs. The farmers supply at the pres ent time will not be great enough, possiably, to satisfy the demand of the city family, but if the matter is explained it will be easy to make arrangements to market eggs by parcel post now and continue to do so throughout the year. In other words. it will be much easier to make arrangements to ship eggs now, When everybody wants them, than to do so in the spring, when they are in abundant supply and when the housewife can secure good, fresh eggs in the market anywhere at a nominal price. A satisfied winter customer can be made a profitable allyear customer if proper price adjust ments are made when eggs again become plentiful. (Farm- CTS Bulletin 594, Shipping Eggs by Parcel Post, t' can be obtained from the Division of Publications. U. $, Department of Agriculture. Washington, D. co
 Once having secured parcel post market for eggs, it will be very easy to market many other things by the same method, such as butter, poultry, fresh and cured meats, sausage, fruits, vegetables, honey, and so on.

MINES CUT BRITISH COMMERCE
CurtaiIment Feared Because of
Growing Sea Peril.

London, Oct 3O.-Disasters caused by
mines are becoming of such frequent oc-
currence that fear is developing in Eng
land that sea traffic will have to be
curtalled greatly. The situation is par
ticularly bad in the North Sea, where
German. Dutch and English mines have
been laid.
German mines along the coast Of Ire
land are also a source Of great danger.
The steamer Manchester Spinner Is re-
turning TO Queenstown. She reported
by wireless that she needed medical care
for two wounded sairors and II is ru-
mored that she struck a floating mine.
This vessel is a sister ship of the Man
chester Commerce. which was sunk off
the Irish coast Tuesday.
The trawler Rosella was sunk in the
North Sea yesterday by a mine. Her
captain and mate were drowned, but
eight men Of the crew were saved. The
fishing boat Our Tom also was sunk yes
terday.
A heavy storm has been aging over
the channel and North Sea for twenty
four hours and 1t is feared that many
mines will be carried into zones that
have hitherto been free to navigation. A
whale that had been killed by a mine was
blown ashore at Margat.
The Blanka, a Swedish lumber steamer,
was wrecked on Battray Head reef,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland, during the
storm, but all her crew were rescued.
