A. single build- ing today will hold as many tenants as a block of buildings in the beginning of the century, a single bridge of our time will cost as much as 20 bridges of the earlier day, and so one might go through the en- tire catalogue of private and public under- takings. But size often makes simple things difficult. Any one building a house In the country, when he has dug a well, has solved the problem of his water sup- ply, but to supply water for a great city calls for the outlay of millions of dollars and for the employment of the best engi- neering talent in the land.

It is quite useless for either man or Woman to expect perfection. The man who will not marry until he gets this must necessarily remain unmarried. He is a sour grape, hanging by a twig.of ob- stinacy on a wall of great expectations, and the only thing to be said In -his favor is that he has missed the opportunity of making some woman miserable. A young man once said to a friend: "I am not go- ing to give myself away when I marry. The fortunate girl who gets me must have three qualifications." "What are these?" "She must be handsome, rich and a fool." "Why all that?" "Well, she must be hand- some and rich, or else I won't have her. She must be a fool, or else she won't have me. "-Chambers' Journal.

"Tiler) the king of Syria warred against Israel and took counsel with his Servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp."

But be is blinded by bis master, the devil, awl goes heedlessly on, bent on his own purposes. 14. "Therefore sent be thither borees and chariots and a great host, and they came by niglit and compassed the city about." He must have felt that Elisha was more than an ordinary man or he would not have thought ie neoessary to send such a host to take one man. So be does the best he knows how to get bis man, and to be more sure of taking him he does it secretly by night, so that no bu- man eyes can see what he ie doing, for he knows nothing of flim to whom the dark- ness and the light are alike. 15. "And when the servant of the man of God was risen early and gone forth, be- hold, an host compassed the city, both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, rny master, how shall we do?" In two cases we have seen servants wiser than their masters, but this servant does not seem to have profited as he might by having suoh a master. Even our Lord bad to say to one of His disciples, "Have I been so long time with you and yet bast thou not known me, Philip?" (John xis, 9). 16. "And he answered, Fear not, for they that be with us are more than they that be with them." Here is faitb seeing the unseen. Moses endured as seeing Him who is invisible. The things seen are tem- poral, but the things unseen are eternal. Happy are. those who have learned to see the things that are invisible to ordinary eyes, who, like Stephen, look up steadfast- ly into heaven and see the glory of God and Jesus and find comfort in His words, "Because I live, ye shall live also" (John xis' 19). God would have His people with- outfear,and a prayerful study of the "fear none) from the first one in Gen. xv, 1, onward would greatly tend to this hap- py state of mind which would be very much to God's glory. 17. "And Elisha prayed and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young inan, and he saw, and, behold, the moun- tain was full of horses and tharlots of ere round about Elisha." We read in Rev. v, 11, that the angels are 10,000 times 10,- 000 and thousands of thousands, and a few of these would be sufficient to take care ef Elisha. Our Lord said, that His Father would give Him 12 legions of them if He asked for them, and we are told that they are ministering Epirits, ministering unto the heirs of salvation (Bent. i, 14). 18. "And whim they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the Lord and said, Smite this people, I prey thee, with blind- ness. And Be smote them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha." Notice alsoliiina's third prayer and answer in this incident in -verse 20, and if you earn- estly covet such intimate fellowship with God, make John xis, 13, 14, a Yore' prayer- ful study, understanding that "in His name" means at least "on His business," and asking such things as Ho Himself would ask.

If you have been feeding the claloks wet, sloppy, raw feed, you have been malting a mistake, and if you methane to so feed during the warm weather you Will certainly lose a great many chicks, and those you do eucceed in raising will not he right. Discard. the sloppy, raw feed riglet now. I believe that this kind of feed is the cause Of the death, during the summer riionthe, of more chicks than is anything else except lice, The food is allowed to SOur and at onee the chicks become affectedwith, bowel Woo- plaiut. Nothing will so reduce the vi- tality of a chiek as will bowel trouble, and with the attendant effects it soon greatly reduces the number of ehicks. The fact is that one feed a day of soft stuff is suffieleet Not only is it suffi- cient, but more is absolutely injurious. Let this be fed iu the morning. If the feed consists of any part of cornmeal, let it be moistened ^with scalding water. It will then swell before it is consumed instead of after if fed raw. As to the other feeds, 1 have found nothing so goed as millet seed. It is rich in oil and other desired properties and is greatly relished by the chicks. Do not feed it exclusively, for a mixed and vmied feed is essential to growth. Remember this. TIns season 1 ma feeding as follows: Morning feed, mixture of vOrMateal, ground OVA barley and rye, moistened with scalding water, with a little inilk Roa.d. seedeue day, wheat the next. creeked corn one day, a mix- ture of wheat and millet the next. Twice a week a feed of whole barley, mho d in 'boiling water for 4)03 12 hours, is given. An occasional feed of raw out bone is also given, not raore ofteu than twice a week. Let this take the place of the noon feed, Upon this bill of fare the chicks will grow and thrive wonderfully, Some trouble, you say. Yes, 4ut 1 have learned that in, this world it pays when We are doinga thing to do. it. It is the rant who makes the most out of his op- portunities 'who succeede, and the fel- low who is not willing TO do this don't cut much of a figure le this busy, prac- tical world, especially in the poultry yard. -Cor. Anierim Poultry Journal, Practical Breeding. When we have said that we believed that the bird for the farmer or the vil- lage poultry keeper to Ilene is a stand- ard bred bird, we have known that many who have good flooks of fowl would feel that they could not Word to dispose of their entire flocks of hens and pullets to begin anew upon some that would be all of one breed. Whether it would be profitable for them to aocont- plish this by selling their own eggs in the market and paying more for eggs to hatch from well bred birds we will not discuss now, because if we were alde to prove to our own satiefaction that it would he for their advantage to do so they would not all be convinced, or, convinced ageing their will, "they Mind be of the same opinion still." For such we have another suggestion to offer. Select next season some of the best fowl in the flock, healthy, active and good layers, and mate them with a male of some good breed to obtain eggs Lor hatching, allowing all other hens to run without any male. It is not neces- sary to obtain a prize bird nor a 95 point bird, but get as good a one as the means will allow, or such as you will feel a little proud of, and from those matings raise chickens. Raise enough of them to allow of the pullets being carefully culled, and the best selected for next year's breeding to the same male or another of the same breed. We are not so much afraid of inbreeding as some, and less so when grading up from a mixed flock than we would be if cock and hen were of the same breed. But do not use one of the grade males for breed- ing purposes. -American Cultivator. Cocks as Brooders. It is not an unusual thing for a cook turkey to take charge of a brood of young ones, and go about with them and hover them as the hen would and we have even heard that if one were shut up for awhile with a clutch of eggs be would proceed to sit on them and batch thein out, but we never test- ed the truth of this. Yet it would not be strange if true, as we know that in some wild birds the male has to do his share of the incubation of the eggs and with many kinds the father feeds the young quite as frequently and faithfully as the mother. Capons also are said to be ready upon a little persuasion to take charge of a brood of chickens, but now we have a story in an exchange of a Brahma rooster that took charge of a lot of chickens after the hen had lef t them and brooded them faithfully. Large Eggs Not Best For Hatching. A poultry breeder says that extra large sized eggs seldom hatch well, and he prefers the medium sized eggs from the same flock. It is doubtful if a chicken was hatched from a very large egg whether it would grow to make any larger fowl or one that would be more likely to lay large eggs than the chicken from an egg of medium size. Possibly by such selections for several genera- tions the trait might become fixed, but usually the very large egg is an unnatu- ral production or an accidental one caused by the condition of the fowi be- fore laying. • This Looks Like Good Business. A poultry keeper in Maine wintered 1,000 hens, and it late report says he had then 2,400 hens and chickens and 100 hen a sitting, from whieh he hoped to obtain 1,000 more chickens.
