RELATIONS OF GOD AND MAN
Gradual Readiustment Means a Con-
tinuaI Advance Toward the
Higher Life.

In studying the Bible it becomes in.
creasingly apparent that the relations
between God and man are not con-
stant or fixed, but are subject to a
gradual readjustment. In the earlier
chapters the ideal held out is for man
to fear" God. Later he learns to
trust, to limited extent, this higher
life. Eventually this grudging faith
is turned to love, which recognizes God
as the father, constantly giving him
self, as life and wisdom, to his chill
dren. And beyond this comes that
fruition of growth which constitutes
real unity; man is merged with God,
and comes to realize that Il and the
Father are one"
God never changes, but our under
standing of him does change And
it is the evolution of this ideal which
we have of the great sea of life in
which we live, and which lives in
and through us, which constitutes real
growth and advancement. Life is for
that; the everyday tasks tend toward
the bringing forth of self-conscious-
less, which is always a fuller consci-

In the minds of some peach grow
ers, to teach the thinning of the fruit
Is to teach heresy. The thing most
desired by them is the biggest peach
crop possible. Then the heavier the
set" of fruit the better, ana the last
consideration is to pick off any of it
until it is picked for market This is
their philosophy.
The matter of thinning the fruit on
heavily loaded peach trees should re-
quire no special argument to estab-
lish the wisdom of the practice, but
the reasons for thinning may be brief
ly set forth in the present connection.
The fact is widely recognized that
most varieties of peaches, as we'll as
other fruits, for that matter under IA
vorable conditions often set much
more fruit than the tree can possibly
develop to a good degree of perfec-
tion for commercial purposes. The in
herent natural purpose of the tree is
to perpetuate it's kind To this end,
left to itself, its tendency is to develop
the largest possible number of seeds,
with each seed possessing the poten-
tial possibility of new tree.
The growers aim is for the tree to
produce the largest possible amount
of fruit that can attain the highest
commercial standard. The inherent
effort of the tree and the object de-
sired by the grower impose, or at least
tend to impose, incompatible require
ments. The development of a great
number of seeds is a tree-exhausting
process. This is opposed to the de-
velopment Of large fruit. To meet his
ends in this respect the grower has
recourse to thinning the fruit.
There is perhaps no operation in the
production of peaches which requires
keener judgment in order to reap it's
full benefits than does thinning the
fruit. However, no fixed rules for it
can be given. 1t is commonly advised
to thin so that the fruits will not be
nearer together than four to six
inches. This direction. is quite gen
orally applicable, yet it may have sew
eral important notifications under diff
ferent conditions. The strength of
the tree, the fertility of the soil, and
especially the soil moisture are all CO.
ordinate factors governing this op-
GRAFTON. These factors, together with
the size of the crop, or, in other words,
the number of fruits allowed to de-
velop on the tree, govern very largely
the size and perfection of the indi-
vidual fruits, except as fungous dis
eases and insects may affect them.
Obviously, a vigorous tree growing
under favorable conditions as to mois-
ture, plant food, ETC., can develop a
larger number of fruits to good size
than can a weak tree, or even the
same tree when there is a marked de-
hcieDcy either in the supply of mois-
ture or of plant food.
The skill of the grower is shown in
his ability to adjust the size of the
crop on his trees to the varying sea-.
sonal conditions. While he is power
less, of course, to add more fruit, 1t is
quite within his power to reduce the
number of fruits on the trees If the

STRANGE Death MESSAGE.

1t may have been a strange and
tragic coincidence. Some will believe
there was more in it than that. The
husband of Paris woman violinist,
himself musician, left for the front
shortly after mobilization. His name
was Remy. At parting he told his
wife: 'If / go under l will try to let
you know directly before the official

played any music during his absence.
But the other day she took up her vlo-
lin, feeling impelled to play one piece
which he liked above all. She opened
the case, and two strings of the violin
suddenly snapped, the D and the z.

1t was the warning he had said he
would give her. The next day a tele-

GOING BACK INTO HISTORY
Forces, Captured constantinopIe
In Year 1853.

On account of the fact that the
Turks are in this great European war
it is interesting to recall from the
pages of history that on May 29, 1853,
the forces of the Italians and Greeks,
numbering only about $4,000, con-
quered Constantinople against an esti-
mated defending army of Turks of
100000. This has been disputed in
history as to numbers engaged, but
the salient fact remains that the city
founded by the Emperor Constantine
was captured by the Italians and
Greeks at that time.
The days following the Crusades had
been marked by changes indescribable
in brief description. The Mohamme-
dan element had become dominant.
Then in a political movement the ltal-
ians and Greeks assaulted the very
citadel of Mohammedism and after a
long fight against tremendous odds
captured the then rather insignificant
capital of the Gateway to the Orient
which has been the scene of many
strifes since that time and is now one
of the main issues of the greatest of
all wars. The Arabic peoples had been
aroused by the growth of Mohamme-
danism. The thought that If a devotee
of Islamism died for his faith he was
at once destined to translation to the
seventh heaven was paramount to all
other thoughts. Then it was that the
uprising of the Christian Latins and
Greeks intruded into the long years Of
the rule of Islam and conquered Con-
stantinople.

WOMEN THIEVES IN CHURCHES
Boston Complains Thar Band ls Sys-
tematlealIy working" the Sacred
EdIhees Of That City.

A clever band Of woman thieves is
suspected Of working" the wealthy
congregations Of several large Boston
churches. Rectors and sections of at
least two houses of worship have been
notified recently of purse and handbag
thefts during services. Circumstances
have led to the conviction that it is
the same band that operated last
spring among Back Bay churchgoers.
Trinity Church in Copley square and
st. Pauls Episcopal Cathedral have
been visited by members of the fe-
male gang lately
The suspects are all women. One of
them, at least, DISCUSSES herself in
deep mourning, apparently to throw
her prospective victims off their guard.
Others of the suspected band are stun
ningly gowned girls, attired always in
the latest styles. One of the suspects
is about fifty years old, another is said
to be not more than twenty. 1nvaria-
bly, the thefts are from women in the
congregations, and most often the
stolen articles disappear during COM
munion services, when the communi-
cants leave their pews to receive the
sacrament. They return to find that
the demure, well-attired girl who sat
beside them is gone; so also is the
purse or handbag, containing money
or jewelry, perhaps, which they had
left on the cushioned seat when they
went forward. Or again, the sorrow
full, aged woman in widows weeds,
whose heavy black veil had complete
ly hidden her features, has vanished
and the worshiper's costly muff or rich
fur piece is missing, too.-Boston

season becomes very dry as it pro-
crosses. Thus the grower should aim
to control the size of the individual
fruits by thinning and by tillage and
pruning
1t is sometimes argued that the eX-
pense of thinning makes it prohibitive.
But this is fallacious. While it may
cost relatively large amount per
tree, 1t is the experience of the best
growers that, as rule, actually more
high grade fruit is produced on a tree
which bears only a moderate crop
than on one which is heavily over
loaded, and the average fruit on the
tree with moderate crop is of better
grade than the best fruit on an over
loaded tree.
Another factor is commonly over
looked when the cost of thinning is
considered. The operation should be
done after the June drop"-which
usually occurs from a month to six
weeks after the blossoming period,
when the imperfectly fertilized and
other weakly developed embryo fruits
drop off-and before the pits begin to
harden. After the June drop" is over
there is but very little dropping of
the peaches. Hence, practically all of
the fruit which remains then will be
on the trees at harvest time. 1t will
have to be picked then, anyway. 1t is
a fair q accuDn Dtiop fbot n ,,,;II o,oot =, r,
more and probably considerably less
to pick portion of the crop in June
or July and drop the fruit on the
ground than it will to pick it later and
put it in a basket, where much of it
will have to be handled over several
times in grading and packing and then
finally large quantities discarded as
culls because the fruits are so small.
Moreover, the fruit on an overloaded
tree will sometimes ripen less uni
formly than on tree that has mod
crate crop.
1t has already been stated that the
development of the pits is. an exhaus-
tive process. Therefore, the limiting
of the number of fruits tends to con-
serve the vitality of the tree. A large
portion of the flesh of the peach is
water; hence, if the soil is we'll sup
piled with moisture the development
of the edible portion of the fruit makes
relatively light demand on the
strength of the tree.
The United States department of
agriculture, Washington, will send in
terested fruit growers, free of charge,
its farmers bulletin (No. 632) on
Growing Peaches" which gives in de-
tail much information on the pruning
of trees, renewal of tops, thinning, in.
terplanted crops and special practices.

something over $12.O0O,O0O. The net
earnings were Sl50O,OOO. The gross

Tank Made Of 14-eause Sheet Iron,
(By e. G. CHEYNEY.)


The rotting of timber is caused by
the work of fungi, very minute living
organisms, which get into the crew
ices of the wood. The fungi feed on
certain substances in the wood and
cause it to break down or rot. Like
all other living organisms these fungi
require heat, air, and moisture, in ad-
dition to their food supply. If the soil
contains the right amount of air and
moisture for the best growth of fungi,
the decay of fence posts is rapid, but
in very dry soil the decay is SLOW
Hence the life of post depends some
what on the kind of soil in which it
is set, and the success of any preserva-
tive treatment depends on the degree
to which it excludes air and moisture
as well as its effectiveness in poison
ing the wood.
