Allow the flowers to dry, and the seed

as of wisdom, on the king's part, and
it was exceedingly popular with the
people.
The thirty thousand men whom
David took with him indicate that the
enterprise was partly a military one,
and that opposition on the parteof the
Philistines was feared. Beale of Judah,
or Beale Judah, was about nine miles
west of Jerusalem. It was also called
Kirjath-jearim (I Chron. 13: 6).

whole of Israel, and where the ark
wasothere was the national sanctuary
and the proper dwelling place of Je-
hovah, and so also of Israel's king,
Jehovah's choaen and anointed repre-

The story of the ark ,s'hould be re-
' called here, its place in the sanctuary
in Shiloh, its oapture by the Philis-
tines,, and its return to Judah (I Sam.
4: 1-7: 2). It is very probable that,

_still wider Philistine control, toitil the
Philistine power was broken by David
in the two battles described in 5: 17-
e5. Now at last it was possible to
restore it to • its proper place, and it
was David's purpose to set it in the
national sanctuary in his new capital,
as an object of reverence and a symbol
on the rough road might have upset
it. To the Hebrew of those days, how-
ever, the nsere touching of so sacred
an object • by an oreinary, unconse-
crated person, was an act of sacri-
lege, and for that they believed TJzzah
to have been punished. David was
afraid of the Lord that day. The
death of the driver of the cart seemed
to him an evil omen. The time was
not propitious, Jehovah was megry.
He would, therefore, leave the ark in
the house of Obed-edom, the Gittite,
that is a native of Gath, and probably
a Philistine, until a more favorable
time.

way as the solemn precession began
its march toward the city gates. And
David danced before the Lord, joining
with many others in the procession
who kept time with the music of
psaltery, harp and eyrnbal (1 Chron.
15; 16). He was girded with a linen

perhaps merely a skirt girt about the

Does Your Daughter Confide in You?
As the little girl just home from
school reached the kitchen door, sha
threw herself down on the top step
and gazed with thoughtful, wistful, al-
most pleading eyes at her -mother
within, hard at work as usual.
To -day she was ironing, and the
small daughter, seeing the tired, nerv-
ous face, knew that S0011 there'd come
the sharp command to "put on your
apron and help." Usually she liked
to help, but to-day—oh, to-clay!—she
lead so, hoped to find mother sewing,
perhaps, or the work all done, for
there. were things she wanted to ask.
Beneath the crisply starched ging-
ham dress the little heart fluttered
painfully at the memory of certain
things heard that day. before school
had opened and at recess time. -The
conversation she had chanced to over-
hear among the older girls had turned
her little child world.eepsyturvy, and
she must in some way find out the
truth from mother.
Sae - moistened her lips to speak,
but her throat was dry and parched,
and words wouldn't come. If only
mother didn't look so cross! Perhaps,
anyway, she'd only say: ."Nansens,
child, what are you talking about?"
But the girls had said—oh, they'd
said so many things, and she couldn't
understand them at all! If only she
could swing the, conversation around
in seine way to the subjece in ques-
tion, then it would no e be so hard to
brirtg up the things that were troubl-
ing her.
But. just then her mother's voice
broke in, high pitched and fretful:
"Come, come, Mabel! You've sat there
dreaming long enough. Get on your
apron. The sink's full of dishes, and
if you don't hurry up they won't be
done in time for supper." And the
one opportunity of the day for 'talk-
ing over with mother the things she
had heard at school was lost. .
Again and again she sought' the
chance of a quiet chat, at which times
her courage was sceewed. to its limit;
but always jost as the parched lips
were about to form the question; some
forgotten (luta called the mother
away or some task was unloaded on
the little girl. Even at bedtime there
was no opportunity for a' heart-to-
heart talk. Mother didn't believe in
babying her big girl, as she called
reading a hedtime story •or stopping in
the dimly lighted room for friendly
conversation. ,
The days passed and the perplex-
ing questions remained unanswered.
More, and more did Mabel cling to .the
circle of big 'girls at school and strain
her ears to catch every word that was
uttered. Then one clay, one of the
girls less scrupulous than the •othets,
took Mabel hi charge and filled her
eager, listening ears with the vilest
of information,

Mabel shuddered at the dreadful
stories. She was frightened, and could
never, never, talk to her mother about
such things.
Thus the opportunity for learning
about life and its mysteries, through
the pure und•efiled lips of her mother,
and cla'Aed in all the beauty which
should surround the workings of Na-
ture, was lost and lost forever; and
all ,because mother had been too busy
to give her wondering daughter a few
minutes for quiet conversation. Later
she was surprised to find that her
little girl had grown up, but it gave
her littIe concern. "They all have to
learn somethne," she told herself; but
she didn't ask in what way the wisdom
had come and whether the knotvledge
made life and womanhood andennther-
hood wonderful and beautiful or hid-
eous and obnoxious to the girl -child.
"Mabel is a good- girl," she said; "1
have no reason t� worry for fear she'll
go wrong." As it happened, she was
right. Mabelwas a good girl, and
because of aecertaen inborn sense of
right, there was but little .chance of
her 'bringing. disgrace to the family.
..Yet all allot-dice:At...tame dorethe fact
that :when she grew older and love
came" to her, she shrank from mar-
riage and wifehood and the corning of
little children, as things revolting and
repulsive. Reason as she might, she
could not get away from the ugly
presentation of the mysteries of life
that had been impressed on her mind.
We would all have our daughters
enter that most beautiful period of a
woman's life clean in every way, and
realizing to the full its beauty, its
purity and its nearness to God. Yet
how many mothers have sent their
daughters along the right road?
For it must ever be remembered
that it is in these talks ,between
'mother and daughter that the great
and good truths can be learned, . A
time can not be set for a girl to be
told these things. It may be early,
it may be late, but whenever that
time comes, there must be the oppor-
tunity for a quiet talk with mother,
and mother must be ready to answer
the questions which tremble on the
eager, oftentimes frightened and hesi-
tating lips. It is for that reason, if
for 310 other one, that mother should
not always be too rushed with work
to listen to all her little girl has to
say; and for that reason, too, that
tasks should not always be eroevded
upon daughter as soon as school is
over. Don't think that mother must
always talk, or that she must broach
the subject. It is most often in the
quiet spells that the courage is ac-
quired to ask the grave, important
questions, for they aro questions
which instinctively are hard to ask.
Be dose to your daughter at all
imes. Be her confidante. Watch for
igns of perplexing problems; and
vhen the eyes grow dreamy and the
ips tremble, bide your time 'lest. you
righten away the approaching tonfi-
en•ce. Don't begrudge a few minutes
t bedtime to .kiss daughter good-
ight, to mingle your prayers with

or she will forget the mother -talks

6 a.m.—Baby's first nursing. Family
breakfast; children off to school.
9 a.m.—Baby's bath, followed by
second nureing. Baby sleeps until

Mother's milk is the best and cheap-
est food for the baby. It will make
the baby strong and healthy. Mother's
milk is always ready and. never sours.
It does not have to be prepared or
measured. It is virtually always safe.
Mother's milk contains the proper ele-
ments of food in the right proportion
for the growing child.
The baby will have the best chance
of living if he is mother -fed. Ten
bottle-fed babies die to one that is
fed to the mother.

and laxative. As a rule she raay fol-
low her •choice of food, avoiding foods
which she has learned disturb her di-
gestion, as these will disturb the baby.
If the milk is scanty, a more gen-
erous diet is indicated. She should
take mare fresh milk, eggs, fresh
vegetables, ripe fruit, nourishing
liquid food and drink plenty of water,
avoiding tea, and toffee and all alco-
holic preparations or patent medicines.
Constipation should be guarded
against. Fresh fruits are laxative. So
are bran biscuits or bran added to
the erhole-wheat "flour. Whole-wheat
bread is more nourishing than white
bread and does not constipate. A
glass of hot water the first thing on
rising in the morning has a beneficial
action,

Dysentery le one of the worst forme ot
bowel complaint. The ,paius in the
bowels are inteuse, the discharges ocour
with great rapidity, and are very often
accompanied by blood. It doeS 1144
need to peneet for any. length ortirne
Until the wbole system le weakened and
debilitated, and hardly any 'other dis-
ease so .quicaly underzeinee the strength
and brings about a condition of pro-
stration and. utter collapse that often
terminates fatally.
To check the unnatural discharge,
without bringing on constipetion, there
is only one remedy to use, and this is
Dr. Foovieres Extract or Wild Strawberry.
Mr, G. W. MeVagh, Mower, Sask.,
writes:—"About eight veare ago 1 had
a severe attack o atarrhoett which
turned to dysentery before I got better.
I might say I was sick for three weelca,
I weighed 154 lbs, when I took sick
and weighed 125 lbs. where I got it
stopped. 1 thiak I had tried every medi-
cine that was on the market and did
not find relief smell I tried Dr. Fowler's
Extract of Wild Strawberry, and oue
bottle relieved me, 1 think there is
nothing like it for diarrhoea or dysentery..
I always keep some on hand as a person
does not know wh.en he will neod it."
"Dr. Fowler's" has been on the market
for the past 75 years. Don't experi-
ment witb some no -name -no -reputation
compounds. They may be dangerous
to your health.

A laying hen has a large, moist
vent showing a dilated eendition and
looseness as compared with the hard;
puckered vent of a non -laying hen,.
The whole abdomen, as well as the
vent, is deleted, so that the pelvic
arches are widespread and the keel is
forced down, away from the pelvic
arches, so as to give large capacity.
The more eggs a bird is going to lay
the following week the greater will
be the size of the abdomen. The actual
size of the abdomen is, of cous-ee,
influenced by the size of eggs laid
and by the size of the bird. A rag -ging
abdomen is undesirable.
Heavy productioxi is shown by the
quality •of the shin and the thicknees
and stiffness of the pelvic arches. Fat
goes out from the skin and body with
production, so that the heavy produc-
ers have a soft, velvety skin that is
uot underlaid by layers of hard fat,
The abdomen in payticalar is soft and
pliable. The sternal processes aaere
very prominent and are g•eneraIly
bent outward. The thicker and blunt-
er the pelvic arches and the greaeer
the amount of hard eat in the abdo-
men the less the production or the
longer the time since production.
One of the finer indications, but yet
one of the most valuable in picking
the high layer, is the fineneis of the
head and the closeness and dryness of
feathering. The head of a high layer
is fine. The wattles and ear -lobes fit
close to the beak and are not loose and
flabby, The face is clean-cut. The eye
is full, round and prominent, espe-
cially when seen from the front. The
high lay-er is more trine; that is, the
feathers lie closer to the body-, sued
after heavy production, the oil does
not keep the plumage relatively so
sleek and glossy, but the plumage be-
oomes threadbare.
A Horne -Made Paint.
A very subsi,antial paint can be
made for the paintihg of barns and
other buildings as follows:
Slack one-half bushel of fresh lime
with boiling water, oovering it to keep
in the steam. Strain the liquid through
a fine sieve and add seven pounds oe
fine salt, previously dissolved in warrn
water; three pounds of ground rice,
boiled to a thin paste and stirred in
boiling hot; one-half pound of bolted
gliders' whiting; one pound of white
geese, winch first soak in cold water
until swollen up, then male ever a fire,
avoiding burning it. Add five gallons
of hot water to the mixture, stir well,
and let ,stand. a few days covered up.
When ready to use the wash, make it
boiling hot, pint of this mixeure
will cover nearly a square yard.
