It takes the life out of a mother to see the child—the idol'of her heart—slipping away, succumbing to the cruel cough tha all the remedies she has tried won't cure. There is nothing so good for children's eoughs, or colds eroup, whooping cough, or bronchitis as'De. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, It is pleasant to take, and it cures so quickly and thoroughly that the heart of the mother is delighted. Mrs, Angus McKinnon, Richmond, writes:—"Last winter my baby was just two months old, when he took a bad cold. He could not keep anything on his stomach with the cough. I tried doctor's medicine, but it gave no relief. I told my husband I would try Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, and I must say it saved his Life. I just used four bottles and now lie is perfectly cured, and 1 can't help but express my thanks to you for curing my baby, Two years ago I used it for one of my. girls. She had a cold and cough, but the doctor's medicine was no good for her. I got oix bottles of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup; and it gave her a perfect cure. I can not praise it half enough."

It is never a good idea to give plants a heavy dressing of this manure *hen they have been dry for a long time until after it has rained.

One Way of Making Good. , Here is a case'of two farmers who have been under the writer's observa- tion for a few years. Their exper- iences prove that a farmerss success or failure depends about as much on his management as upon the crops he produces. Both carne from the same distant province about six years ago and bought land near us. The one bought an •imprpved farm of 60 acres for $800, paying twee thirds cash and agreeing to pay the balance in two annual payments. He brought improved implements with him, and was able to cultivate more acres than a poorly equipped farmer He planted largely of feed crops, corn, peas, peanuts, and potatoes, and produced much more than he could gather or house properly. Other farm- ers produced the same crops, so only a dull market existed for them, and no profitable shipping facilities were convenient. Besides his two horses he kept no livestock, not even a pig, and the money which he spent for milk and butter would have paid for a cow He made no improvem nts, not even the planting of a fruit tree; spent the winters in idleness, and got deep- ly in debt. He sold his farm after four years, and, of ,course, blamed the soil for his failure. He has gone to find a better place. He has a small family, and with a sufficient number of pigs and calves to consume even the waste he could have lived inde- pendent of the credit merchant. Whatever place he may select as his home he will be a failure without a change 'of management. The other had only $150 in cash after paying his and his family's transportation. He invested this as one-half payment on a 40 -acre farm with a two -room dwelling, a pretense of a barn, and a weak rail •Fence as its store of improvements. He brought his meat and lard for the first year. With these exceptions he had everything to buy on credit, even a horse. He soon saw the need of a cow, so bought one on the install- ment plan. When he had paid all but $5 the cow died. He sold the calf ' to complete the payment, and bought another cow on the same plan as the first one. He has sold butter enough to go a long way toward buying needed °supplies and cattle to the amount of $80. Three years ago he borrowed money and bought a pair of pure-bred hogs. Besides producing his own meat and laid he has sold some hogs. at fancy prices for breeders. His first horse, a plug, died just when he was needed the most, but he bought a good mare on credit to replace him. He has built up-to-date fences, a poultry house, and barns, and added another room to his dwelling. He has n family of small children, has had much sickness and one death, all causing him heavy expense. He has planted fruit trees every year except- ing one, and has already begun to realize a profit from his orchard. He has paid for his farm, owes no man anything, and does not believe a bet- ter place exists for a poor -man. He plans ahead and always has a de- sired end in view. Which of the two men makes the better citizen ? First Time He Saw Its Strolling along, the quays of New York harbor an Irishman came across the wooden barricade which is placed round the enclosure where emigrants suspected of suffering from contagious diseases are isolated. "Phwat's this boarding for?" he enquired of a by. stander. "Oh" was the reply, "that's to keep out fever and things like that, you know." "Indade!" said Pat, "Oi've often heard of the board of health, but; bejabers, it's the first time oi've seen It." INTERNATIONAL. ZESSON JUNE 15. Prayer—Matt. 6: 5-15; Luke 18: 1.14. Golder Text, Pliil. 4: 6.e. A'Iatt. 6: 5r15. The Lord's Prayer. Do not pray, Jesus said, "as the hypocrites." They pray "that they may be seen of men." They desire a reputation for sanctity which may heighten their influence among the people. Better the secret prayer which God hears, the prayer in which the heart speaks and the soul goes ont to Him in desire and faith. Nor is there need of "vain repetitions" Por of "much speaking," for God knows 'the need of those who call upon Ilim. The model prayer which Jesus gave His diseipies is remarkable for .its simplicity, its brevity, and its com- prehensiveness. Calling upon the heavenly Father, it pleads for the reverence due to His name, • for the coming of His kingdom, for daily food, for forgiveness of sins, and for deliverance from evil. This is "the prayer that teaches to pray." Luke 18: 1-14. Parables of Pray- er. ;"The unjust judge." The par- able presents an argument from the less to the greater witness. If the less proves the case, how much more convincing will the greater be! If the unjust and selfish judge can be moved by continual pleading that will not be denied, how much more will the good and just God be moved to act on behalf of His own! Men ought, therefore, "always to pray, and not to faint," Faith in God means such trust and confidence in Him as will not despair of His goodness, but will keep watch, wait patiently, and keep on praying. "Pray without ceasing." "The Pharisee" belonged to a sel- ect society of 'nen who were zealous to- maintain the ancient laws and cus- toms of Israel's religion. In their origin, one hundred to one hundred and- fifty years before the birth of Christ, they were sincere and honest, even' if narrow, champions of the an- cient faith against Greek and other innovations. They became, for a time, an active political party, but now, under Roman rule, they were chiefly interested in preserving, through a display of religious formal- ity, their hold upon the minds of the common people, and their influence in the great Jewish council which controlled purely Jewish affairs of religion and morals. While there were still good men among them, many were merely wearing a mask of piety and well deserving the name of hypo- crite which Jesus more than qnce ap- plied to them. They "devourd wid- ows' houses and for a pretence made long prayers." "The publican" was a tax collector, in the employ of the Roman Govern- ment, and so was looked upon as a traitor to, or as an outcast from, his own people, who hated their subpec- tion to a foreign power. The Phar- isee exalted himself in his prayer, the publicen humbled himself. The parable illustrates well the saying of Psalm 51: "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a con- trite heart, 0 God, thou wilt not de- spise." Compare also Iso. 57: 15. The old English poet, Richard Crashaw, writes: "Two went to pray? Or rather say One went to brag, the other to pray. One stands up close, and treads on high Where the other dares not send his eye; One nearer to God's altar trod, The other to the altar's God." Perhaps no prayer of penitence has been more often repeated than that! of the publican, and it has often been! the last uttered prayer of the soup about to meet its God. And it has many times been the wisest and best to whose lips it has come. They have put to the test and have proved the, Saviour's words that "he that humb1-1 eth himself shall be exalted."

The first of January, 1917, I bought 24 young Plymouth Rock pullets, gave them good care and fed them for eggs. In three weeks they were laying finely. I then bought two incubators. I set my hens' eggs and added some others to fill up the in- cubators. I set four hens at the same time. My fust hatch came off the middle of February, I hatched 266 fine chicks from 389 eggs. I divided the chicks among the four hens and a good brooder. I kept part of the chicks in the brooder at night until they were six or seven days old, then gave them to the hens. For their first feed I gave them finely crumbl- ed egg shells and prepared chick feed, plenty of fresh water and fine grit. After they were two weeks old I kept them in a small building with clean litter for them to work in. I gave them plenty of milk, I raised 460 good chicks from 553 -eggs, At 3 months old I sold all but 87 pullets which I kept for winter layers, 1 received $186.60 for the hens and young chicks, the hens bringing $16,80, which, after I• deducted $58 for the feed, eggs and oil far the in- cubators, left $111.80 for my work for four months, and my 87 pullets. Then I began to feed for winter laying. The first of September I gave them a noon mash of beef scrap, chopped bones and bran. After we butchered our hogs, I fed' a mash of turnips, potato peelings, table scraps and meat cracklings, with a table spoonful of sulphur once a week, My pullets began to lay December first. I sold eggs as follows: December, $18.60; January, $28.63; February, $35.75; March, $40.45; April, $38.94: $162.37 in five months. I sold the 87 hens for $73.95 so the total far hens and eggs was $236.32. The cost of feed for the hens being $63, I had to my credit $173.32 for the hens and eggd, $11,80 for the young chicks, making the total for all $285.12 an sixteen months. 4. Ex -Empress Eugenie 93. The ex -Empress Eugenie, who was 93 on May 5, strikes all who see her as, the picture of good, but not robust, health. Prince and Princess Napoleon are still residing with "Her Imperial Majesty," as M. Piehon (the French Foreign Minister) styled her last autumn when telling a great gathering of Alsatians and Lorrainers in Paris that she had presented to the French archives the original letter written to her in October, 1870. by the King of , Prussia (then at Versailles) declining her appeal to him not to insist upon the annexation of Alsace and Lor- raine.

"Well, the next time he wants to stay late, you show !him some of my! electric light bills." Five Little Brothers. Five little brothers set out together To journey the livelong day, In a curious carriage all made of leather They hurried away, away! One big brother and three quite small, And one wee fellow no size at all. The carriage was dark and none too roomy, And they could not move about; The five little brothers grew very gloomy, And the wee one began to pout, Till the biggest one whispered, "What da you say? Let's leave the carriage and run away." So out they scampered, the five to- gether, And off and away they sped, When somebody found the carriage of leather Oh, my, how she shook her head!

At one time—in the fourteenth or fifteenth century—people wore the beaks of their shoes so long that they tumbled over them when they walked, and were forced to tie them to their knees by laces or chains.
