early in the morning, when the

fies how the grasshopper may be-
come a burden. It is the trouble of
getting the children oil to school at
the right time, when the tired moth-
er finds that her boy has worn a
hole in one of his stockings and
there is not another clean pair to
put on. It is the annoyance of
hunting up a pair of scissors which
your little girl lost when she took
them to make doll's dresses. It is
the annoyance of having the butcher
and the groceryman fail to bring
home the vegetables and the meat in
time to be cooked for dinner. And
then there is the annoyance to the
wife of having her husband com-
plain • because his meals are not
served on time. It is the nagging
annoyance that conaes every little

the angry and quick tempered house-
keeper when she rushed into his
presence crying, "Lord, dost thou
care that my sister hath left me to
serve alone ?" and gently said,
"Martha, Martha, thou art careful
and troubled about many things,
but one thing is needful," so Christ.

was then that the engineer demon-

FOURTEEN GREAT MISTAKES.
Somebody as condensed the mis-
takes of life, and arrived at the con-
clusion that there are 14 of them.
Mose people would say, says 'Wo-

that there was no limit no the mis-
takes of life; that they were like the
drops in the ocean or the sands on
the seashore in number, but it is
well to ba accurate. Irene then, aro
14 great mistakes: "It is a. great
inistake to got up our own standard
of right and wrong and judge peo-
ple accordingly; to measure the en-
joyment of others by our own; to
expect uniformity of opinion in the
world; to look for judgment and ex-
perience in youth; to endeavor to
mould all dispositions alike, to yield
to immaterial trifles; to look for
perfections in our own actions; to
worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied: not to al-
leviate all that needs al aviation so
far as lies in our power; not to
make allowances for the infirmities
of others; to consider everything im-
possible that we cannot perform; to
believe only what our finite minds
can grasp; to expect to be able to
understand everything."
WHY.
A certain little girl named Mary
was noted for her propensity to ask
questions. So fixed was the habit
that she seldom knew when she was
asking .questions, and life became
to her one prolonged interrogation.
Her moner. slightly worn by this
peculiarity; ..rnetimes took the op-
portunity of sPeal;lng "a word in
season."
"Mother," cried Ikrary‘, bursting
into the room one day, "iv,:t shall
name the kittens 7-
"I should think," said the tiled.
mother, fixing upon her a meaning
eye, "you might call one of them
'Why' and the other 'What.' "
The names seemed to strike the
child's fancy, and were at once
adopted, , But the moral refused to
stick, and indeed its existence was
not even suspected, as was shown a
day or two later.
"Mother," said Mary, innotently,
looking up from a prolonged cud-
dling, of her pets, "why is Why's
name Why 2"
TRAINING IS NEGE-SSARY.
The time has come when, to be
master on any line, it requires long
years of careful training and pre-
paration. It is true that the oppor-
tunities open, to young men are
greater to -day than they ever were
before; but, on the other hand, there
never was a period in the world's
history when the qualifications re-
quisite 1 for success in any line of
worthy endeavor were of a higher
character. The artigan, the fariner,
the business man, the clergyman, the
,
physician' , the lawyer, the scientist,
each in his' various rant-, invat pre-
pare to reach up to ever -enlarging
ideals, if he w, -,1d attain his full

pot which is placed in a large pot

YELLOW FEVER GER/o.
CHICKEN BATTENING.
Fanners Should /near Pullets for
.the Supply of Eggs.
Professor J. W. Robertson. the
Dominion Commissioner of Agricul-
ture and Dairying, bas nun held a
conference in Montreal with tbe
poultry and egg brenelt of the Mon-
treal Merchants' Association. The
ptesident and members represeuted
that, owing to the attention -which
bee been directed lately to the pro-
fits from the fattening of chickens,
they feared that farmers were fat-
tening and killing a large number of
pullets. /f that practice were fol-
lowed to any great extent, the mer-
chants feztred there would be a great
reduction in the production of eggs,
consequently they advised that farm -
ere be encouraged to put in the
crates for fattening only cockerels,
and that they- should rear as many
as practicable of good pullets for
the supply of eggs during the win-
ter as well as for the supply of eggs
during the simmer. The export of
eggs from Canada which in 1896 on-
ly amounted to the value of $807,-
086, two years later had grown to
$1,255,304, and in 1901 had in-
creased to $1,691,010.
THE EGG MITIRCIIANTS
further recommended that the farm-
ers be advised to kill oft the cocks
after the first of June., This is de-
sirable in order that eggs collected
during June and later may be infer-
tiie, and therefore possess -better
keeping qualities during te hot
weattli.
Ireported that large quanti-
ties of eggs are now imported into
the United ICingdom from continen-
tal countries, notably Russia. and
Austria. Those eggs are received
in large cases packed in straw. Ow-
ing to the excellent reputation won
lity Canadian egg's, Enklish dealers in
many instances are re -packing these
continental eggs into cases similar
to the Canadian standard egg ease,
holding thirty dozen each. Al-
though, the eggs are not labelled or
Professor Beyer as Discovered It
at Last.
Professor George Beyer of Tulane
University, La., who was sent with
the commission of which Dr. Parker
was the head to Vera Cruz to study
the yellow- fever prevailing there,
has returned to New Orleans.
The germ of the disease was defin-
itely found, and its character and
habits fixed. It is of Much higher
order of life than had been antici-
pated, being an animal; not a vege-
table organism. That found in the
bodies of sufferers from the disease
was identical with the germ in the
mosquitos. The germ, however,
does not originate with the mosqui-
to, being transmitted to the insect
by human beings, and being trans-
mitted to other human beings by the
tic pest. During the epidemic at
Cruz the mosquitos were es-
Ily numerous. The authorities
