A full page adver- tisement in the Saturday Evening Post sells for $5,000, and the hack cover sells for 57,000; the centre page in colors is ;12,000.

The railway companies have ad- vised the provincial government that they will not agree to a single fare return rate for men sent to Ontario harvest fields where the fare col- lected is under 51. For short -dis- tance trips where the single return fare would be under 55 the usual .return fares will be charged. As most of the farm help being sent out from Toronto goes to places 30 or 40 utiles from the city, the new de- cision adversely effects the sending out of men. Material Advances. The firms that supply ready set matter for weekly newspapers, com- monly known as boiler plate, have jumped the price from 20c to 27 c a column. Increased cost of metals is the reason given for advance but. the service is hardly worth the new rate and will quite probably result in papers dependent on it, either being required to cut down their size, or go 'stronger' on the local news which is much more appreciated.—Since the above was written one of the supply houses has quit all together on the plate business.

HOT WEATHER HiNTS FOR BUSY FOLK Don't Bother About the Thermometer —Eat No More than You Have to- -Drink Water and Buttermilk. Avoid talking about the heat, and, as far as possible, avoid thinking about ii. Hall of the discomfort of hot weather is due to mental sug- gestion. People talk each other into misery. Don't rush to the thermometer to find out how the temperature is in- creasing. Don't exclaim: "We're in for another scorcher." The less you know about the height to which the mercury is rising, the better you will feel. Keep you mind actively employed. Don't stake the hot weather an ex- cuse for loafing, Eat no more than you have to Avoid solids, such as meat, eggs, fats, and other heat producers. Eat fruit, vegetables and cereals. 11 you can endure hunger, it is better to eat nothing. Water and buttermilk are the best liquids to drink. Don't worry about excessive per- spiration; it is a sign that the sys- tem is holding its own against the temperature, Perspiration produces thirst. Thirst produces perspiration. Thus the body works in perpteut motion. To keep your house cool, close the windows and doors on the east and south sides of the house at S o'clock a.m., and leave the north and west windows open.

'THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, 11 Kings xxv, 1.21. Memory Verses, 1o, 11—Golden Text, Lsek. xxxili, 11—Commentary Pro - pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The topic of this lesson is the cal- tivity of Judah, for, although such (nett as Elezekhth and Josiah slid what they could to turn the people from thelr sins to the Lord, the results were only par- tial and tempot'ary, and their sins In- creased. The Lord God had compas- sion on them, notwithstanding their rebellion against Him, and seat thein Ills messengers, His servants the prophets, to tell them of llis love and His readiness to forgive them and bless them if only they would turn to flits with the whole heart, but they mocked the messenger's of God and despised His words and misused His prophets until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people. till there was no remedy (II Chrou. xxxvi, 15, 101. Many times Ole had told them in the beginning of their notional history how Ile would bless thein in the land He had givou them if only they would obey E(m and honor Mtn and keep them- selves from the idolatries of other na- tions. See for example Lev. xxvi, 1-10.

The fourth year or Jeliuia• tdm was the first year of Nebuchad- nezzar, and in that scar. which would be about 000 13. C., some of 1.110 princes, including Daniel anal others, and part of the vessels of the house of God were carried to Babylon (Jer. xxv, 1; Dan. i, 1.3). About seven years later Jehofakltn, who reigned only three months, was taken to Babylon, with his mother and servants and princes and officers and 10,000 others (perhaps 15,000) II Kings xxiv, S, 16), and this was the second deportation. Eleven years later, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, the captivity of Judah was completed by the carrying away of Zedekiah and the rest of the people, except the poor, who were left to be vinedressers and husbandmen. Then was the house of the Lord burned and the remaining vessels destroyed or car - tied away (II Dings xxv, 1-17). Then was fu1011ed the strange prediction through Ezekiel concerning Zedelciah, "I will bring him to Babylon, yet shall he not see it," for after his sons were slain before his eyes they put out his eyes and bound mint and carried him to Babylon ()leek. xil, 13; Mugs xxv, 7). However seemingly impossible any prediction of the Lord may appear, it will surely be literally fulfilled in His time, either by a near or a far distant fulfillment, or ofttimes by both, for as one has said, prophecy may have many a germinal fulfillment, while the full accomplishment may be still in the futureThe Lord had said through Jeremiah that this punishment of au- dah would continue seventy years and that then they would return, and so it came to pass, as we shall see hi fa- ture lessons (Tor. xxv, 12; II Chron. xxxvi, 20-231. Because Israel rejected their Messiah, when in the fullness of time He came to them, they have ever since been scattered among all nations, aid He said that Jerusalem would be trodden down by the gentiles until the ttmes of the gentiles be fulfilled (Luke xxi, 24). The times of the gentiles began with Nebuchadnezzar, 606 B. 0., and col, respond with the seven times already referred to in this lesson, during which God said that He would punish 'Israel for their sins. According to Dan. 13, margin, times are years, and in Num. sty, 84, there is tt way of the Lord revealed, wherein Ile used years for days. Seven times 860, the days in a Scriptural year, equals 2,520, which seems to cover the seven (hues of Is- rael's pimistmsoot in Lev. xxvi, or the times of the gentiles. Now, G00 B. C., added to 1014, the year in which the present European war began, gives 2,520, and there seems therefore to be good reason for believing that the times of the gentiles began to run out in 101.4. As they began gradually with the three deportations of Judah re- ferred to in this lesson, so it may re- quire eighteen years, more to less, to end then, Sine°, then, we are already in the beginning of the end of these times, how fully occupied we should be 1.0 giving tit° gospel to help com- plete the church, the hotly of Christ, and hasten the coming of the kingdom or righteousness and peace, always ex-' potting to be caught up any day and yet ready to continue here In His sere. ice or be absent from the body and'• breseut with tate Lord.

She had never for a moment known the pleasure of being Important to anyone. She was not altogether useless in her brother's family. On Mondays she accented as her share the washing of the men's shirts, heavy with sweat and stiff with dirt from the fields. Tuesdays site stood all day pressing out a tiresome succession of towels and sheets, for she was never allowed to iron anything pretty, not even the baby's dresses, Duringpreserving se vm(Inc t she se i a l t n corner with the children and stoned cherries or hulled strawberries until her fingers were dyed red to the bone. The Blaekwells were not unkind to their aunt. They were very fond of her, but site was an old maid, depen- dent in a very busy fancily and was an insigniliean( figure in their lives Even as a girl she had been clever at mak- ing bedquilts. During years of devo- tion to one art she had accumulated a store of quilting patterns. She never knew how her great idea came to her. Even when she finished drawing the design, site gazed at it in wonder, not daring to believe it was her own handi- work. Finally she said to herself that she would make just one square, just to see how it lvould look. Accustomed to the most complete dependence on her brother and his wife, she dared nut even do this with- out first asking permission With a heart full of hope, she ap- proached the mistress of the house. Sophia listened 10 her sister -ill -law's petition. y Wh, yes. Samantha, start a quilt if you want to. 1've got some pieces from the spring sewing which will work in real good." Samantha tried to make her see that this would be no common quilt, but Sophia replied, with impatience: "Oh, there! Don't bother me, 1 don't care what pattern you g" I'y.,' Samantha rushed up the steep attic stairs to her roost, convinced that she hail invented a pattern beyond which I)() patchwork quilt could go. She had but little (Inc: for she was too con- scientioous to shirk even the smallest share of the work of the house. She rushed through the work with a speed which left her panting as she climbed to her little room. One evening she ventured to bring her work down beside the tire where the family sat. She was on the last corner of the first square and her nee- dle new with great rapidity. No one noticed her and by bedtime she had but a few more stitches to add. As she stood up with the others the square fell an the table. Sophia glanced at it carelessly. "Is that the new quilt you're begin- ning?" she asked with a yawn. "It looks like a real pretty pattern. Let's see it." And with• that Sophia proceed- ed to look over the work. "Land sakesi" said the sister -hr -law, looking at the many -colored square. "Why, Samantha Blackwell, where did you get that pattern?" "I made it up," replied Samantha. "Did you? Girls, come and see what your aunt Samantha is doing." 'rhe three daughters turned reluctantly from the stairs. "I don't take much interest in patch- work said one. "Nor 1 either," replied Sophia; "but a stone image would take an interest in this pattern. Land, look at all those tiny squinchy seams," The girls echoed their mother' ex- clamations and Mr. Blackwell ' came over to see what they were discussing. ) "Well, 1 declare," he said, "'!'hat beats old Mrs 'Taylor's quilt that got the blue ribbons so many tines at the county fair. The next day her sister-in-law amazed her by taking iter pan of po- tatoes from her lap, saying: "Don't you want to go on with that quiltin' pattern? 1 would like to see how you are gain' to make the grape vine design out on the corner, At the end of the semnter the fam- ily's Interest had risen so high that Samantha was given a little stand in the sitting room where she could keep her work—and work at odd moments, She appreciated this kindness, and through the longest task of washing ncilkpaus there rouse a rainbow of promise with her varigated work. I'he family felt quite proud of Aunt Samantha, Minister Cressy and his wife has said it was as line a piece of work as they had ever seen, One day some strangers from the next town drove up and asked if they could inspect the wonderful quilt which they had heard of. Samantha's quilt became one of the town sights. The Blaekwells saw to it that their aunt was better dressed than site had ever been before and one of the girls made her a pretty cap to wear on her thin white hair. A year passed and a quarter of the quiit was finished, A second year passed and it was half done, The third year, Samantha tray ill with pneumo- nia, For weeks she lay overcome with terror lest she would die before her work was completed, The fourth year 11(106, One 901114 see the grandure of the whole design, And —lis September of the fifth year Samantha quilted the last stitches 10 her creation, The girls held it up by the four cor- ners and they looked at it In solemn Silence. Thu Mr. Blackwell smote One horny hand within the other and exclaimed; 'By binger1 '!'mat's goin' to the county fair!" The family agreed and one of the boys was sent to the house of a neigh- bor who was chairman of the commit- tee for the village, Samantha felt a pang of separation ss the bulky package was carried out of the house. One of the neighbors, who took the long journey to the fair, reported that the quilt was hung In a place of honor in a glass case in Agricultural Nall, But that meant little to Samantha, for she felt absolutely lost without her work, The fancily noticed tete old woman's depression and one day Sophia spoke softly and kindly: "You feel lost without your quilt, don't you Samantha?" .'..'They took it away so quick," she replied, "that I hardly had a good look at it myself"' Mr. Blackwell made no comment, but a few days later announced that Thomas Wood, tc neighbor, was going to drive Samantha to the fair and bring her back again. "You don't mean iti" she exclaimed, "Yes, I mean it," he replied. 'rhe next scorning, when the buggy drove up to the door, they all stood to- gether and waved good-bye to her as she drove out of the yard. On her return that evening 8 she was so tired and stiff that Iter brotherhad to lift her out of the buggy.
