ton. 1t is rather inspiration. The
boy initiates the father because
the father inspires his life. Paul
writes to the Corinthians: BE We
imitators of me even as l also am
OF Christ" Paul was inspired by
his example, and the inspiration
led to unconscious imitation.
1t is requisite Of fitness that
we mirror the image of the Saw
ior. The work-a-day world is
crying out for picture of the
Christ. The scripture contains a
beautiful pen picture, but this is
in the abstract. We make a SER
ious mistake i'm knowing much
about the arts and sciences, and
little about Gods Word. But the
world wants a vision of Him as
embodied in human kind; some
one to whom we can point and say
IF to be good will bring me the
graces possessed by that person,
then will strive" 1t is missing
the goal to become the embodi-
ment of the commercial ideal or
the social ideal; the world is de-
handing that we hold up a higher
ideal than that. One day collier
wife called on Professor Drum
mond and said: my husband is
dying. and l wish you woul cal! on
him. He may not recognize you.
and he can not see you, but [
wanted him to have a breath of
you about him before he died"
Are not education and culture
worth ten thousand times more
with such a character back of
them without it? And Drummond
sacrificed none of his success i'm
living thus.
The youth Of today must be
prepared to carry on the serious
work of tomorrow. But prepara-
ton is many-fold. And a burden
is laid on those of today to hold
up alongside their ideals of scilol-
arship the ideal of the perfect
man. Twenty years from now it
will bulk large in the worlds ps-
innate of character. Happy is the
person who. beholding the glo"y
of the Lord. is transformed into
the same image.

THE HEN AND the GOLDFISH

He business manager of a
country newspaper in Missouri is
destined either to boost his journ-
al or win place on the scroll
OF poetic fame. His masterpiece,
The Hen and the Goldfish" is as
follows:
The Goldfish lays million eggs,
While the helpful hen lays one;
But the Goldfish does not cackle,
To inform us when she's done,
And so we scorn the Goldfish coy,
But the helpful hen we prize;
Which indicates to thoughtful
minds,

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES

Begin to think about bulbs for
planting next fall.
Keep the asparagus bed clean
by cultivation as long as possible.
Endive and Chinese cabbage
may be sown for fall use.
Keep the seed pods off rhu-
barb. Otherwise it soon becomes
tough.
Cut back Achillea as soon as
it is through towering, and it
will flower again in the autumn.
Stalk dahlias and do not leave
more than one or two canes to
grow. Too many shoots mean
small flowers.
One of the earliest shrubs to
: flower is the Juneberry (Amelan-
chier). There are several varities
but the one most comonly grown
is Amelanchier Canadensis. 1t
is sometimes called shadbush.
The fruit turns from green to red
or purplish and is enjoyed by both
birds and man.
Attend the summer meeting of
the State horticulture Society at
University farm. This will be a
good time to see many towering
shrubs and plants at their best.
Keep the cultivator going.
Plant dahlia bulbs and gladioii.
Pepper and egg plants may be
set out.
A heavy much of manure is good
for the rose beds.
Set out tomatoes and other tend
er, heat-loving plants.
Anothersowing of peas, beans,
and sweet corn may be made.
Prune early-flowering shrubs,
such as spirea and lilac, as soon
as they are through Towering.
There are many quick-growing
ANNALS which may be planted now
and will bloom easily in autumn.
Vines should be used to cover
unsightly board fences. Morn
ing glory, wild cucumber, canary
bird vine, or gourd are useful for
this purpose.
Watch for currant worms.
They may be killed by spraying
with arsenate of lead. Paris
green and lime may also be dust
ed over plants. on which worms
are working, with god effect.
Dig out the tulip bulbs, if the
bed is wanted for other flowers
and. lay them under bush or tree
covering them with a box of board.
They may be replanted in autu-
man and will give god flowers the
next. spring. 7LeROy Cady, Associ-

Where Women Propose and II Reject

In the Pacific ocean. between fi1i,
New Guinea. New Caledonia and the
continent OF Australia. lies the Mclane.
sian group Of islands. where head hunt.
ers and cannibals abound. Strange
and grewsome as are many OF the Gus
toms OF the tribes. there are some that
are most romantic. For instance. on
the island Of Tucopia the women pro
pose marriage instead OF the men.
When girl Of TucopIa secs a man
whom she thinks she would like 10
have for her husband she does not
rush up to him and ask him TO marry
her. On the contrary. she gives the
subject deep thought and often the
man n most careful investigation be-
fore she pops the question:. The rea.
son Is that his answer spells life or
death to her.
II Is n tribal law that any woman
who has been refused must forthwith
XIII herself. Therefore a woman asks
a mans hand only when she feels
sure that his answer viii be the hap

Many are the strange and seemingly
inexplicable questions with which the
women of Tucopia ply the stranger

tive back OF the solicitude OF the dusky
bellies who inquire II he Is married or
not and the state of his wife's health.
