outset the results of the voluntaim ef
farts were, of course, comparativel
poor as competed with the output 9
the regular workers. Gradually, how
ever, there has' been a "speeding -up,'
which has brought an average Sun

munition volunteers within meanly
able distance of that which is custom
ary during a day in normal times o
the part of the regular eenployes.
As, however, the amateur operator
have increased their efficiency, s
have the week -day workers added t
their'production, so much so that th
output per professional munition
worker is now at least 70 per cent
higher than it was at the commence
ment of the war, and there does no
appear to be much further room for
iinprovement, as many of the ma-
chines are being, operated to theta
utmost capacity,
It is very noteworthy, hoWever
that the Stock Exchange workers
and other volunteers, whose hands
suffer severely from manual labor,
have been able, within a short time
from their enlistment in the rank
of munition producers, to manipulate
their machines with an efficiency
which in normal time would com-
pare very fairly with those of skilled
operators.

The Czar of Russia hae also ap-

supplies. Itis said to have been giv-
en practically despotiamower over the
whole range of Russiaa industaya Its

unmade. ' Coming on- 'the heels of the
,passage Of the Britieh, act sta 'compel

Man, aa it seems to be•regarded just
now by the European belligerents..
- That end and aim is to snalte,wax
supplies. For this man may not haae
exactly come into the world, but for
this, in Europe away the,
the actual
battle area, he exists to -day. "Pro-
duce; producer is still the .cry, but
it is conditipned by' the warning td
produce mutdtions first of all. Of
course, stame men, must be exempt
from this duty. They are the' meh
charged with the task of disposing of
the munitions in the moat effective
way. • But for the rest the primal,
fundamental duty to the state is to
make them in ever-increasing quan-
tities. -
Once the chief end of man was as-
sumed to be the pursuit of the true,
the beautiful, the good and ,the her-
Monious development of his powers in
accord with these ideals. But the act-
ivities of ,the European governments'
just at this stage force us to discard
the theory. .The chief end and aim
of man, if we are to judge by the
thing on which the greatest stress is
now taid5 jg to be fruitful of munitions
and thus to deplenith the earth.'
"All the men who remained down
deserved twenty Victoria Crosses.
They were real beroes a thousand
times over." Here is a genuine tri -
bete from a brave man; Captain Wil-
liam Finch of the Arabic, to the oth-
er brave men who have gone before.
The world may web pause with Cap-
tain Finch, regardless for the minute
of the weighty international matters
tied up in the fate of the ship, to hon-
or the enginemen who yielded up their
lives that others might live.
There is a mighty force in the tra-
dition of the sea. Praise, and great
praise, belongs to the leaders such as
the captains of the Titdnic, the Lusi-
tania and the Arabic, the seamen who
stand on the bridge until the ship
Sinks beneath their feet. But what of
the humbler men, the unknown, who,
deep in the heart of the great vessels,
ignorant of what is portending, shut
off from sea and sky, continue at their
service? Withont glarnor, without
cheers, grimly facing hard mechanical
tasks, they strive on until the last
moment. They Might seek the cow-
ard's safety. With impunity often,
withcit criticism they might climb out
of the dark hole for a man's conflict
with the waters. But like caged ani-
mals they choose to die. The men
below are heroes a thousand times
over. They are the backbone of the
world.
TELL YOUR FORTUNE?
Much Depends Upon the Interpreter
of Teacup Signs.
Can you tell fortunes in teacups?
Perhaps you are one of those who,
while laughing to scorn the mysteries
therein, ate always eager to know
what Fate holds for you. a,
Anyhow, you will find a wonderful
amount of fun and not a little pro-
phecy in following these rules for
reading the contents of the teacup.
First of all, take the cup in your
left hand and shake it carefully to
mix up the dregs, then place it up,
side down in the saucer, and move it
right round three times. Now fore-
cast.
If a little string of tea leaves runs
right around the cup, it means a jour-
ney. An anchor, is a fine omen -it
stands for hope and good luck. If it
Is near the top of the cup, it may
mean a sea -voyage; and if that most
popular symbol of all, a ring, be near
t, a honeymoon may be mixed up
with the voyage.
All women look for a ring in the
teacup. It may be a 'tiny circle of
tea leaves or. grounds, it may be just
tiny spikes forming a circle, or it may
be a single curled leaf.
Should this ring corne near the top
of the cup, a marriage is very near;
but if it is at the bottom, the wedding
will not be so soon. Much merriment
can be caused if the ring is discovered
in the cup of a married person, by
forecasting a second marriage -of
course, in tho' far -away future.
Good luck is always predicted by
the clover leaf and the horseshoe;
flowers denote suecess; a cross fore-
casts sorrow; an umbrella foretells a
storm ; fruit ni °ens health; while

Don't Let the Apples Go to Waste -They May' Be Manufactured
at Horne -How Vinegar of Prime Quality is Made
By G. J. Culhana B.S.A.
'A drive through the rural districts'
of Ontario in the early or late fael
leaves several impressions, Of these,
one of the outstaricling, is the moreor
less large amount of apples aoing to

• The manufacture of cider vinegar
°lathe farm is not uncommon, yet it
is not as prevalent a ,pfactice as it
ehould he. Whatever apples are
grown there is an opportunity of pro-
ducing a good quality of cider vinegar,
and sueh vinegar can readily find a
market. Cider vinegar is second only
to wine vinegar in flavor and will
therefore be used in the household in
preference to the more expenstve wine

The apples must be clean, not decay-
ed or overripe. Dirty apples are apt
to carry bacteria of an undesirable
'nature into the juice which would
cause various bad flavors in the vine-
gar. •
The juice is removed fr,om the fruit
by grinding and pressing. If the
manufacture of vinegar is to be made
on a more or less large scale a cider
press will be necessary; if on a small
scale a hand press may be used. The
large presses are expensive to instal
and operate and 'need a special build-
ing and ,power outfit. The hand
presses are of very small capaeity
and only small quantities of vinegar
could be made with them. If there is

grinding and pressing the apples i
low compared to the installation o
private presses. The presses an
other utensils, which are apt to ge
dirty, should ahvays be kept ver
clean, for here again harmful bac
teria and yeasts may enter the juic
and spoil the vinegar.
In the manufacture of cider vinega
two important fermentations play
part; alcoholic, where the fresh appl
juice is fermented by yeasts an
5/10% of alcohol is produced; aceti
fermentation,' which turns the alcoho

this gives a large surface exposed to
the air. The more the air admitted in
this way the more thoreugh will the
feamentation be, The temperature at -
which the barrels are kept veal make a
big difference in the time to complete
the fermentation. At 50 to '70 deg.
P. it will require from 18 to 24
months; in a warmer place, 12 to 18
months, If a good mother has been
added and the temperature is high it
will be complete in from 6 to 12
months.
In the method just described only
the barrel is needed, but the process
is slow and only small quantities can
be made. To make larger quantities
O large number of barrels would be
required and therefore, much more
room. To avoid this there is another

method, which, if followed, will give
the best quality of vinegar in the
minimum amount of time.
Figure 2 shows the barrel used: An
ordinary barrel is fitted out cheaply
with the necessary funnel and tubing.
The barrel is half filled with the fer-
mented juice and the mother added.
At the end of three to four weeks, in
a warm room, one-fourth of the liquid
may be drawn off by the lower bung.
The barrel must not be disturbed.
The amount drawn off is replaced by
the same amount of new liquid and is
run in by the top funnel and tube, so
that it is delivered underneath the
mother. If on top it will spoil the
mother and the fermentation.
This method makes a fine quality of
vinegar and is of very little extra ex-
pense other than the greater atten-
tion demanded. The increased amount
made in a given time offsets the add-
ed expense and labor.
The Care of Cider Vinegar.
After the vinegar fermentation
is
complete a certain amOf
ount care is
e needed, otherwise- the fermentation
will go further and the vinegar will

't Text: Psa. 46. 10.
L Elijah in the Cave on Mount
. Horeb (Verses 8-12).
Verse 8. 118 the strength of that
food -.Compare Moses on Sinai <Exec!,
34, 28) and Jesus in the wilderness
(Matt. 4. 2). No man can "live by
bread alone" if he iS concerned about
the Lord's business.
Unto Horeb -the mount of God -
This mountain, above all others, was
distinguished by the Manifestations
thereon of God's power and glory.
9. Unto a cave -The Hebrew has
"the cave." Evidently a particular
cave was meant; perhaps the "cleft
of the rock" in which God placed
Moses (Exod. 33. 22).
What doest thou here, Elijah -The
familiar address is used to indicate
that Elijah had an opportunity to
pour out his whole heart. Somethnes
the mere repeating of one's woes, as
the shedding of tears, brings the de-
sired relief.
11. Go forth, and stand upon the
mount before Jehovah -Nearness to
God would open the prophet's eyes.
Jehovah did not condole with Elijah;
he simply showed him some things.
12. A still small voice -Literally,
"a sound of gentle stillness." A great
peace had come upon Elijah. In the
calm he could hear God.
11. Elijah's Discouragement
(Verses 13-18).
•
13. He wrapped his face ie his
mantle -The upper garment, a sort of
cloak or cape, sometimes made of un-
tanned sheepskin (compare Matt. 3.
4). The revelation is too intense for
the unveiled eyes of the prophet.
14Ioses, similarly, was "afraid to look
upon God."
What doest thou here, Elijah -
Again the same familiar address, But
this time there is something of re-
proach in the voice. "Why are you
he when there is so much to do?
What has become of your insight and
your power?"
14. I have beet very jealous -Eli-
jah naturally would try to justify
himself. And of course he would re-
fer to the great things he had accom-
plished and the seeming futility of his
efforts.
15. Go, return on thy way -He is
lot to escape the difficulty; he is not
o have new fields in which to work.
The thing he was net to do he must
nish.
To the wilderness of Damascus -
The district lying between Bashan

Be Sure the Barrels are Clean.
The barreis to be used should be
new or cleaned in such a way that all
traces of the previous contents are
removed, Should any be left it will
spoil the flavor of the vinegar, also it
may stop the fermentations altoge-
ther and the whole process will then
he a failure. Thorough washing with
scalding water should be given ever:
when the barrels have been recently
used for cider or vinegar. The forty -
gallon barrel is the most serviceable
size.

45 and 60 deg. F. This is the best

to produce a maximum amount of

tains the right kind of yeasts, but to

The Moral Order of' Heaven
Righteousness Will Seek Peace and Pursue It, But Not at Any
Price.
"Righteousness exalte h nation."
-Prov. xiv., 34.
The righteousness on which the
Bible is forever insisting and which it
is forever pressina on the attention
of men as being both their supreme
duty and glory is all inclusive. It is
not a single virtue. It embraces all
the vittues. The righteous man is
truthfuli honest, pure minded, tem-
perate, just, generous, kind, merciful.
A man may be honest, and yet not
temperate; he may tell the truth and
yet be lacking in generosity. But a
man cannot be a righteous man and
be lacking in any of the specific vir-
tues. Truthfulness alone, or generos-
ity by itself, or temperance alone is
not enough to exalt a nation or a man.
Only righteousness can do that.
Not a Righteous Man.
Again, this righteousness which the
Bible commends so highly and insists
on "so vigorously is not a negative or.
passive thing. It is active, aggressive,
enthusiastic, itnpassionecla absorbing.
If a man's so-called righteousness
does not compel him to hate and re.
siet iniquity, to put his heel on the
head' of every hissing. falsehood he is
cognizant of, to overcome aed thwart
evd, to expese and punish injustice
and cruelty, to take sides against op-
pression and wrong, that man is fool-
ing himself. He may be amiable,
peace loving, polite, but he is not a
righteons man. He may feel sorry
when he eees a big bully abuse a weak
and def,enceles0 man, but if he does
not rim to the help of the poor vic-
tim his righteousness is a sham. He
may have some feeling (If indignation
as he witnesses brute power win out
against innocence, but if his feeling
of indignation does not take form in
active defence of the innocent his so-
called righteousness is the sheerest
hypocrisy.

tion ought to be too proud -to fight. If
by that we are to nnderstand that a

Righteousness first and then peace.
That is the moral order of heaven and
Must be the Order of Earth.
God would not be Gbd without that
and man would not be man without it.
God would be lacking in dignity and
in moral majesty without'it and man
would be mere paste without it.
God's throne is established on the
righteousness that oppoSes wrong, de-
fends the weak, relieves the oppress-
ed, delivers the slave; pulls down the
