To keep celery and lettuce fresh, stand the roots in cold water. Put Castors on your woodbox if you would have it handy to move about. ‘. Change dish water often --it is better both for the hands and for the dishes. Never bang an oven door, if you don't wish ,veur bread or cake to fall. Close it gently instead. To keep flowers fresh, clip their stems and change the tvater, every day. Also a pinch of salt helps. Cloves placed between winter bedding, blankets and clothing are a better moth remedy than cam- phor. To get rid ef lite ebjectionable 'emelt of cabbage while cooking, put • piece of charcoal in the second water.

A FEARFUL VIGIL. A -Hindu Hunter's Experience With a Tiger. An extraordinary tale of Hindu hunter's presence of mind and sell - control is told by Ernest YOUllf, in "Adventures Among Hunters and Trappers,” on the authorityof Colonel Campbell, a 13ritish officer in the Indian service. A tiger had carried off a, number of cattle from the vicinity ef a small village in In- dia. Bussapa, the chief hunter, re- solving to put all end to these de- predations, found where the beast's lair :as, fastened up 'a young. bul- lock as a bait, and sat down near it—but well to leeward—to watch. His only protection in case of at- tack on the part of the tiger was a small bush. Soon after stmeet the tiger put in his appearance, pounced on the bullock, and began his supper. While, he was g,orging himself with the warm flesh and blood of his victim, Bussapa thrust his .one, cl um sy m ate 11-1° ck through the bush and fired.

"Wilt thou not quicken us Again, that thy people may rejoiee in thee.1"--Psalras„ lxxx.y., 6. We have returired again to our ecuetomed place after a season of rest. In so doing it is right and proper that we give thanks to Him, life our eyes -unto the hills whence cometh all our blessings. Rest from labor relaxation from incessant toil is only then justifiable when we return With a devout purpose ef renewing our efforts, of advanc- ing ceir cause and pressing forward to the goal s,et before us. As Chris- tians sve recognize that God's work is best done in His way, and only then will we be successful when -we have learned the.lesson of lov- ing obedience and humble sulsmis- sion. Let us notice God's quickening power :— Man is dependent upon nature to quicken his vitality for the per- formance of his physical tasks. Only as he can use and assimilate na- ture's gifts, nature's products, is strength afforded him to do his best. Of course, there • are many who ignore God's laws in the book of nature, and who resort to artifi- aial means or methods—substitu- tions—in order -tot sustain life, if only for a season. When our strength fails us thew we resort to ever k available means to recover it !

He remem- bers Isaael's checkered history, apostasy, failure, defeat, captivity, hundliation. Have we learned the lessons of life any better Are we ready to condemn, them and justify our every act? What is the sum total of life's experiences to us to -day? Are we ready to acknowledge God as the source of our spirit's quick- ening power If not, who is the souice of In SO Ili poem There is great need of that quick- ening power in rosuming our work. There is need of r -impreesing up- on our minds, of reassuring au hearts that the God of Jacob is eur God, the Jehovah of old is the tower of our Strength te-day. And only as we feel our dependetee upon Him in all our work, only as we feel the need of 'Ms quickening power and use it without stint, call and will we be successful in the work of His kingdom, whatever that work may be. There are so many spurious efforts, put forth, so many counterfeits of anything good practised in the Church palmed off for Chaistianity—which have cursed the, Church and hardened sinners in their sins without number. It is not noisy demonstration but the "still, small voice" that we need; not human dependence or schemes, but God's arm; not machinery or measures or sensational methods, but the Holy Spirit sent down from en high in answer to fervent pray- er to unite our .strength, our forc- es, however small they may be, to advance the Kingdom of our God and His Christ among us. For this Christ needs men, living men for living problems. deny that the *riches of this world can give abiding joy. If this were so the favored sons of earth whe haveitreasures above measure would enjoy. the greatest felicity. But dit thy? It lies not in the power of man oa nature to give tranquility of soul to man. Every good and perfect gift cometh from above. • The effect is that the delight in service boars its own' fruit here and now—joy, h'cily joy. The joy that meets by the way; the joy that fel- lows ue in misety, in sorrow ; the joy that abides in our trials and struggles; joy that cheers us in our successes and failures; joy that causes the milk- of human kindness to flow in our veins; joy that ex- tracts honey out of life's experi- ences; fo,y that, gives iss beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the plantine of the Lord that He mielit he glorified.

Swing a stick for a hump, phy- .sical or mental! A well-known physician recently stated that fewer round shouldere would be observed in our young men of to -day could they but cultivate the habit of car- rying a stick. As will easily be seen, the nee of a walking -stick in- evitably pulls back the arm. And so, quite naturally,, too, the chest is pushed forward, thus -allowing of its expansion. Whereas the man who carries . nothing is invariably nervously conscious of his hands. And to hide them away somewhere, puts them in his pockets. What happens By the very action of thrusting his hands in his pockets, he brings his shoulders into he line of a slouch. and so to a stoop. But to be a,t all efficacious, the walking - stick cariecl must be of -ordinary size—that is, -to reach as far as the hip. A shorter stick fails in its mission. For either it is swung in the hand, with the other hand in the nocket, or it is carried high un- der the arm, with both hands bur- ied deep. NUPE SAID. "And you like chicken, Sam?" "Gee!

Went up unto them into the boat—We would infer from John's account (6. 21) that the disciples were prevented from receiving jesus into the boat because by the time Jesue had reached it they bad arrived at the shore.
