(Toronto Star Weekly )• If you were asked to name the most murderous country on earth, your thoughts would probably wander in the direction of Turkey or China or the Congo or some other outlandish spot. But you would be wrong. The country in which the most murders are commit- ted and with the greatest freedom from punishment, is the civilized coun- try which calls itself the United States. Last year there were no fewer than 8.975 deaths from murder; and you can get some idea of what these figures mean if you reflect that every time the cloek strikes, from the first to the last day of the year, some one is murdered in that country. Suppose you read in the paper one day that in Chicago or New York a gang of dynamitards had slaughtered a hundred innocent persons, you would doubtless be horrified; and yet so colos- sal is the total of murders that such an outrage would not make any perceptible difference in the average. A closer examination of the figures is still more striking than the total. Out of nearly 9,000 murders, only 1,000 were committed by what may be called professional criminals, that is, high- waymen and footpads. The rest was the work of amateurs, or those who are not habitually criminals. 1 Why Go West? (Lucknow Sentinel.) ` A man was asked the question, "Why are you working?" He replied: "to get comfort." And that is exactly what the majority of people are after. Some men get more comfort out of $500 a year, than others do out of $1000; much depends on their management and on the place in which they live. And the one who gets comfort out of the smaller salary is frequently the best off. It is true that in Ontario you can get a greater degree of com- fort for Iess money than you can get anywhere else in the Dominion of Can- ada. A farmer in Ashfield or Kinloss enjoys far more comfort than he would have on the western prairie. The citi- zen of Lucknow has greater comfort at less cost than he could get in any wes- tern town. A young man (a farmer) who has spent a year in the West was asked what was his opinion of the West. "Just this," he replied, "We are worth now $5,000. I can take that, buy a small farm here with comfort- able house and barn on it, and get more real comfort than I could get with $20,000 out west. So I calculate to remain in Bruce." Another man. from Ashfield 'who went for a trip offered his farm for sale at $6,000. When he returned he said he would not take $7,000 for his Ontario farm. Said he: "1 never saw a poor farmer until I went West," People of Bruce and, Huron! remain here and enjoy real comforts and work the gold mine about you! Potatoes and Sugar Beets, Numbers of potatoes too small to find a ready market were fed to chick- ens this year around Clinton with good results When boiled the potatoes are very acceptable to all kinds of poultry, and farm animals also like them. Pou,- try enthusiasts see in this the chance for the development of a large chicken industry in connection with the present potato boom. The growing of sugar beets, while not very successful last year on account of weather conditions, seems to give promise of future devel- opment in Huron County. One man w-. Q WEAK ACHING BACK Caused Her Much Misery. Mrs. W. R. Hodge, Fielding, Sask., writes: ---"A few lines highly recommend- ing Doan's Kidney Piga.

Ilis net profit is estimat- ed at $50 per acre. The chief trouble with this industry in the past has been1 the lack of labor, and t h e r issome talk of banding together to secure immigration of skilled Belgian workers, who understand beet culture. In the best section of Michi- gan there are whole villages of these people, who make the best kind of field help. Two of them employed on the 30 acre field referred to above, made $3 per day during most of the season and their employer still received a hand- some pr RN ORDER TO i7ti.1 .D OUP: tt' e11 1 vet •ht h'' d l`ian'a" pr() 1tI t, it u • i i) !.•; Ill 1 i r'15 .icl' r til'" ..\\7.,.n;ill'y Y1rWIl1•lj.

One of the questions propounded was, "\Vhat tea do you use?" and the replies received dem )nstrate that Lipton's Tea is the most popular of all package teas, showing its sale to be double that of its nearest competitor and over 100 per cent. more than the next two mentioned brands taken together. Surely Honest Tea is the best Policy. LIPTO ONE WAY TO BOOST. While the local newspapers of this and every other town in these western counties are "boosting" week in and week out for the benefit of their sever- al communities, what are the business men and people doing for the news- paper, for the latter cannot exist on words of praise alone. The best booster a town can have is the local paper and it fairly represents the enterprise of the place in which it is published. For instance, at the present time we are trying to attract attention abroad and to draw people here. A glance at the advertising columns of the local papers should give an outsider some idea of the town's business interests. Apply the test and note the number of business men of the town, merchants and manufacturers whose advertise- ments appear in the local pap- ers. The papers push and boost week in and week out in the interest of all, but far from all help to support the papers. Imagine the mental picture this town would present to the outsider picking up the paper and glancing over it if the name of every business firm appeared in the advertising columns in the local papers, even if he takes only an inch of space. The local newspaper should be a business directory of the town. The town has, however, several good advertisers who constantly keep to the front, and their example should be generally followed. Calling on Brides. Why are the brides of to -day in Tor- onto so pestered with callers? Pester- ed I know is rather a strong word to use, but when one sees the way people who have absolutely no excuse for call- ing, stream in and leave their bits of pasteboard on a bride, who, goodness knows, has enough to do to return the calls of those she does ,know, one won- ders why it is done. Is it to swell one's calling Iist? Is it vulgar curiosity, or is it both combined? Only the other day one of the season's brides confided to me over the tea cups on a day that she was not at home, "that dozens of the cards which had been left her were those of people unknown to her or her husband, and who could not even claim the excuse of living in the same neigh- borhood. I know of a case a short time ago when a bride received at her beautiful home and on being told that some of the callers were going through the house, even to the servants' quar- ters, sent maids to say; "These are private apartments." Another case where a bride at no small expense had put "American Beauties" throughout her rooms, on going upstairs after found that out of two dozen only seven remained. On inquiring of the maids she learned that several ladies *tak- en a rose, pinned it carelessly heir coat as though it were quite the cor- rect thing to do. It hardly sered- ible that such things couldlikpen among people one knows and yet what I have told are only two of dozens of cases one hears of. -Toronto Mail and Empire. Gentle Annie The time approaches, Mr. Man, when you will take the sprinkling ean, and rake and spade and hoe, and blow your- self for sacks of seeds which will pro. duce all kinds of weeds when they be- gin to grow, It is a strange, note- worthy thing, that with the coming of the spring, man yearns to delve the ground, to labor with the fragrant soil as Father Adam used to toil, to fuss and potter round. He dreams of finer cabbageheads and cucumbers and onion beds than ever man has seen; and he will raise the finest slaw and succotash both boiled and raw, that ever wore the green. Lxperience might teach him that his visions Will be broken flat, his Orders be a fake, that all the harvest he will get will be a rippling rill of sweat, and fifty kinds of ache. But man forgets his former Woes when Gentle Annie comes and blows upon her fairy pipe; once more the luscious soil he digs and plant again his thingrny- jigs, his cauliflower and tripe. We've civilized the human until there merely is a trace of old priftteval man, save when the springtime makes us ache to tinker with the hoe and rake and spade and sprinkling Gari. -Walt Mason, Indian Runner buck eggs for hatch- ing. $I for 115.

' Mayonnaise dressing separates when too much salt has been added to the yolks of the eggs, and when the oil is added too fast at first, or when the ingredients are warm, Fried foods, as croquettes and oy- sters, are greasy because the fat has not been sufficiently hot to coagulate quickly the outside covering. Batter puddings are soggy and heavy when they contain too little flour, or when the baking powder has been mix- ed with the flour and this added to the milk and egg some time before the pudding has been baked. When cakes are saggy in the middle they are not sufficiently baked. The centre of the cake is the last part to bake. Before removing a cake from the oven touch it lightly in the centre; if the finger makes an imprint the cake is not done; if it springs back and does not "tick" or "sing" it is done. Sauces and gravies have a layer of fat on top when more fat is used than can be held in suspension by the flour, or the thickening of the sauce. Use a level tablespoonful of fat to each level tablespoonful of flour. One gill one half -cupful -of liquid is the proper proportion to this amount. To prevent milk from separating When added to vegetable soups, as tomato and asparagus, heat it in a separate vessel; add to it the thicken- ing and mix it with the vegetable ma- terial at serving time; a quarter of a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda add- ed to the tomatoes will also prevent the curdling. -see- Pea Weevils -Nitro -Culture. 1. We have noticed the pea bug in our peas this year for the first time. Would the formalin solution used for smut be strong enough to kill them? 2. How much nitro -culture would it take to treat 140 lbs. alfalfa clover seed? Ans - 1,so U carbonh' is 1 b u ids. p Place the seed in a tight box or barrel. A coal -oil barrel is good. It will hold about five bushels. Place three or four ounces of the carbon bisulphide in a small pan on top of the peas. Cover, and allow to remain for 48 hours. The carbon bisulphide will have evaporated, and the gas being heavier than air, will settle among the peas and smother the weevils. 2. An ounce does a bushel. Three ounces would be gecessary, as it is put Up in ounce bottlers. Just Think of it. No man has ever travelled so far as has his own blood. The heart is mere- ly a hollow muscle consisting of two pumps, one of which sends blood to the lungs, the other pumping blood through the tissues. The stream of blood leav- ing the heart travels 621 feet a minute, seven mites an hour, 168 miles a day, 61,000 miles a year. For the blood to make the entire circuit (better known as the figure eight circuit) from heart to lungs, then back to the heart, thence to the tissues and finally back to the heart again. requires in the adult, says Dr. Latson, about twenty-three seconds, in the smaller body, that of a child, the circuit is made much more rapidly and the heart beats correspondingly fast. For instance at birth the heart beats at about 136 to the minutes, and the blood makes its entire figure eight cir- cuit in about twelve seconds. At 3 years old the heart rate is 108, and the blood stream makes its journey in about fifteen seconds. At 5 the pulse is eighty-eight and the blood circuit re- quires eighteen seconds.

Text of the Lesson, Luke vi, 20.26; xvi, 19 -31 -Memory Verses, Luke! vi, 20, 21 --Golden Text, Luke xii, 15 -Com- mentary Prepared by Rev." D. M. Stearns, These few verses In Luke vi are part of His discourse in the presence of fits disciples and a great multitude of people who came to bear ilial and to be healed of their diseases as Heb came down from the mountain and stood in the plain. The teaching is somewhat similar to that in last week's lesson, but the poverty and hunger and weeping seem to be more literal phys- ical conditions than in the Sermon on the Mount; also by contrast thet riches and fullness and laughter of verses 24, 25. The contrast between the "now" and n future time is more"" fully set forth in the Luke xvi lesson, and the bright side of it is concisely stated in I Cor. sill, 12, "Now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face; now 1 know in part, but then shall I know even as also 1 am known." As to literal poverty, we know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ -that, though He was rich, yet for our sakes Ile became poor, that we through His poverty might be rich (II Cor. viii, 9), and as we think of the Bethlehem manger, the Nazareth borne and the bringer and thirst and homelessness of Ills life ofttimes in Ills public ministry we may perhaps imagine something of ordinary poverty, but who can tell the full meaning of the emptying, the service, the humility and obedience of Phil. 11, 7, 8, R. V.? The literally rich are often poor in sprit, meek and lowly at heart, while the literal poor are often proud and self centered. We must always remember that the Lord looketh on the heart and trieth thee,, heart (l Sam. xvf, 7; .ler. xvi1, 10). ''^01Falw.` The "woe unto you when 011 men shall spear; well of you" of verse 25 seems not to be a'very popular verse in some quarters, for even preachers and evan- gelists hare been known to hold back the truth on certain great topics so aa to have the approval of men, a. very prominent worker having recently said publicly that be aimed. never to hurt the feelings of his fellow ministers. How very different from Him who said, "I do always those things that please the Father," and also from the apostle whose principle was "not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth out hearts" (John viii, 29; Thess. 11, 4). Concerning the topic of our lesson. "Poverty and Riches," Luke abounds In records of rich men, as in xii, 16; xvi, 1; xviii, 23; xis, 2: xxi. 1, besides the rich man and Lazarus of the last part of our lesson. From these pas- sages we note that a man's life con- sistetb not in the abundance of the things which be possesseth, and some would do well to ask themselves, "Then whose shall those things be?" Riches sometimes make it difficult for the owners to enter the kingdom, and yet Zaccheus, who was rich, did enter. Sometimes the gifts of the rich did not count as much in Ills sight as the gifts of the poor. We are simply stewards, whether intrusted with mysteries or money or other things, and we must give an account of our stewardship. We may so use that which is intrusted to us as to become rich toward God (Luke II, 21), and those who have been helped by us to know the Lord will make greater to us the glory in His kingdom, while the Lord Himself will reward all His faithful ones at the resurrection of the just (Luke xiv, 14; Rev. sail, 12). Our Luke xvi lesson study reads like a statement of facts, and there is no reason why it should be called a parable. It is the one occasion on which our Lord drevf aside the veil and gave us to see the unseen realities after we leave these bodies, plainly teaching that for each one it will be happiness or torment, not the highest. degree of bliss which will be the be- llever's portion only after the resurrec- tion of the righteous nor the deepest woe which will be the unbeliever's portion after the judgment of the great White throne, but a conscious existence in bliss or woe, with no possibility of passing from one to the other. The rehson of the rich man's condition aft- er death Was not because he had been rich, but from the last verse of the Chapter it is evident that when on earth he had no use for Moses or the prophets. He was not a believer in the Scriptures, but evidently proud and 'self satisfied. After death he proved the reality of a place or torment and became anxious that his brethren !should not reach the same destination, tie pleaded that if one went ireui the dead they would belleve, but tuns told that the 'writings of )beset and the prophets were all suflit'ient: We knO I' from John xi and tit that another man flamed t.atarus did rise from the dead, Mit t while some e heli ev d e others -;ought to kill him again (John xii, 10,11).
