After the animal:: have been trap- ped the first thing to do is to skin then --remove their pelts. There are two ways of tieing thus, the "casing" method and the "open" method. The former, as the mime suggests, means peeling the pelt from the animal's body so that when it is finally re- moved it is tubular in shape. The late ter method simply calls Ti'ocutting the animal .from the ,jaw bone down the middle of the belly to the tail, then drawing the skin off with a gentle downward movement. Coon, badger, beaver and bear are practically the only animals whose pelts are treated by the "open" method. All the other animals are "cased." But it is ne:essary for the young trapper to know whether to case them pelt sicle out or fur side out. For those who are not experienced these pointers will be of value. The following should be "cased„" pelt side out: Mink, skunk, muskrat, white weasel, civet cat, These should be "cased" fur side out: Poses of all kinds, lynx, lynx cat, fisher, martin, 'wolverine and wildcat. "— And Son." We were at a pure-bred stock sale the other day, and after the sole was over we tallcecl awhile with the man who was looking after the registra- tion certificates and their transfer. Our conversation was suddenly inter - meted. The purchaser of a fine Short- horn cow and calf came dashing into the office. "Say," he demanded, "have you fixed up those paper's yet?" No, he was informed, they hadn't; been made out, They would be sent to him in .a day or two. 'Theta t'httt's all right," said he, "Take your time about that. But be sure to put it in 'and Son.' The boy's in .paxtners'hip with me on this deal. Ile's keen after the good stuff. He knows as much about it as I'do, find maybe more, and he's a half owner • and gets half the profits. So you be sure and put the 'anti Son' in the papers." On being, definitely assured that the firth name' would be properly inserted, the farmer' grinned -at us, and we :grinned at him understandingly, and he went away happy, To Make Candles Pit. I endeavored to make candles fit candlesticks by holding the end of the candle over a flame until it softened, But frequently the wax dripped very badly, and only the outer layer of the candle would be softened, I have found it a mucic more satisfactory way to hold the end of the candle .in hot water until it could be forced dnto the socket of the cendlestlek. It is a satis- faction t0 have the candles fixed ao they will not tumble out when dusted ar,. worse yet, when carried lighbed, —Mrs. H, B. it's only nominee settee to 41s3un1e that the farm t1ts rowing richer ,m got•, anti paying, n profit has an meter with breins behind it, Repairing Lace insertion, When a Om of lace 011 a lilottse 01' on liegeri0 .haws a frail or broken place, Etrengtffin it et enee by bade, Ing at with a piece e'f fine net fout;ng, which may ice purchased by the yard int '0'10(1,5 widths, Statues, Buy ' ].nitrl f 5 t s INTERNATIONAL LESSON DECEMLIt1R28. came to them upon the sea when they.

Peter and john were men of their OW11 time and of their own people Under the teaching and example o Jesus, and endowed with Ilis Spirit they rose to such greatness that they may be regarded as belonging to ever time and to every nation. Their train ing in the school of Christ redeemed them from littleness and narrowness 1 /111(1 the selfishness of national pride and stere material ambitions and hopes, -and made them servants of humanity. We must rememLer that they were first of all Jews, with Jewish instincts and prejudices, knowing Jewish laws and customs, and having us their great book of religion the Old Testament. The Temple of Jerusalem was for them the centre of all true worship, most of their religious teachers were of the narrow and bigoted sect of the Pharisees, and their hope of salvation lay in the expected coming of a great king and saviour, whom the prophets had foretold, who would establish a kingdom in Jerusalem and rule throughout the world. They believed, too, that in the consummation of that kingdom there would be a resurrection and a judgment which would be fol- lowed by an eternal life of happiness for all the good. . But they had .very meth to learn in the school of Jesus Christ, They had to learn that true religion was inward, not a matter of external ob- servances, that the keeping of the law was in the (.reposition of the hart, that God's kingdom came not in dis- play of wealth or power, but that greatness lay in lowliest human service and that a kingdom over men might be won by self sacrifice and loving ministry. Above all, they had to learn the way :of faith, faith fin God, steadfast confidence in His eter- nal goodness and power, faith that perseveres, is undaunted, and fails not evennin the presence of death and such a death as that upon the cross, They learned by listening to Jesus, by watching Him in His gentle minis- try to the multitudes who everywhere pressed about I-Ihn, by walking and talking with I3inn, by asking Him questions and brittgcing to Him their unsolved problems. They found that He lifted them above the petty con- troversies and debates of theft time, which made so much of custom and ritual foram, holy days and feasts and payment of tithes, into an atmosphere of simple trust in tine heavenly Father and loving service to one's fellow men. They found him greater than patty er sect or national clitfer- as they had seen Jesus minister.

Even when the parents show jnd meat in •giving their child a good, strong nape, it '10 often hard to ttese• - ciata it with the wee, winscuto clarlingt and too often :1t le ignored, and some diminutive substituted, which seems more fitting for a ('harming little tot. Now if the 'baby could have those nicknames in the nursery all might be well. But alas! as many people eau testify to their mortification, the nick.. name often sticks through life. A Landsorne boy first called "Broth- er," then "Rubber," had to submit to the humiliation of hearing it 811000511 to him on the baseball field, after he was the best athlete on the high school team. Another boy called by his lov- ing parents, "Sweetheart," later ab- breviated to "Sweet," suffered even greater mortification during hie boy baud. One girl, MA/tamed as -Precious,' later stalled by fancily and • friends, 'Press," sighs in vain for her own "Margaret,"" A stealer, graceful girl, whose given name was the ;beauti- ful eauti- ful one of M dlred, carries the trivial nickname of "Dump." Her doting parents Leven it by calling her "Dumpling," ;ellen she was< a chubby tot. era: a: a very laving grandmether who nicicn.er:,ed the little girl who had been left to her care, "Pet." Not a thought, probably, of the later years i deterred her relatives and friends from using this diminutive 111 her early years. But, as is too often the case, oe..e r steeled, t riicl..r a wee never dropped. It beep's, to soy the least, inappropriate to strangers to hear her addres-cd by this love -name of her childiios,i, now that she is a- middle- aged matron, and unusually tall of stature. Of course,s at boarding 'hool and eeliege, girls and boys oacn utekname each other, but these do not fallow them though I,lfe as do the names they have tarried all through their first years. But it is encouraging to know that things have improved in this respect during the Later years, We often hear patents address the tiny daughter as Elisabeth, Dorothy, Margaret, or simi- lar dignified names, when formerly they would have bean Bess, Dot, Mag, etc. And the sons, although of tender years, are now often William, John, Charles, etc. The choice of a child's name should he for use during all the changing years of life, and it should be attrac- tive, 0110 which a man, or woman, in any station of life will not be ashamed to acknowledge. Therefore steer clear of the sin of naming a boy "Martha," or- "Bertha," as I have known un- thinking parents to do, nor is it suit- able to christen a girt "Peter," "George," or similar mantes appro- priate only for sons. Strong, appropriate, good names, honest and revered, give even a child a dignity of tits own, and in later life will have a tendency to win respect for its owner. So, parents, think well before writing the name of your child on the leaf of your family Bible. Re- member, no other gift bestowed upon your child is so utterly a. life gift as its name. Bo sure to make that gift one that will vein gratitude as long as its owner lives. Words From the French. The war has added many French words to current English and Cana- dian use, and the number of them con - I tinues a process that goes back to the Norman French. The word "war" it- self, wrote Dr. Henry Bradley, in his "Making of English," is of Norman. - French origin, and so also did a long list of martial terns originate with the French, conte over to England, andbecame anglicized,among them "battle," "assault," "seige;' "stand- ard," "banner,' ,"armor," "lance," "fortress," and "tower." From Franco carte originally the terminology that: identifies the separ- ate parts of a British army, the "com- pany," "brigade; "division," and "corps," as well 0,8 the officers, "gen- eral," "colonel." 'major," "captain" and "llouteaaut," France developed the art, or, as we might now say, the machinery of war earlier than the English, but it is rather surprising to realize 11ow many centuries the termi- nology has been in use. The words passed naturally enough into English, tor during some of those centuries, as Dr, Bradley also Sug- gests, the relation between the two • nations was so close that English writers "felt themselves at liberty to introduce a French word whenever ,they pleased." - Whale Slow But Sure.
