Wheo one is compelled to breed front one pen It is .wIae to select birdthat are of medium color an4 evenly span. gled, bird e that are dark in color or too heavily spangled do not make the best of breeders from an exhibition point of view, They are each inclined. to perpet- loth) their defleiencies. On the other hand, a sparsely spangled cook is a good mato for pullets that are inclined to be too heavily spangled, or carry too much white in wings and tail. One thiug inuet never be done; and that is to mate cock or cockerel that 31 gaily spangled to hens or pullets poseassing the same failing. To do so would be to intepeify the tendency to lightnete, and make the progeny what I have heard them styled, "regular meal bags." Occasionally a black -red cock may be mated to spangie hong or pullete to overcome this tend- ency to mealutess. Another fault nbieh is rather prevalent in some drains of Spangles, and other ohms as wit, is "white in lobe." In exhibition eoeke it is not seen because the birds love been dubbed, and the eat' -bb e removed, but it can be seen in the he,. ti is a fetilt that is somewhat (Billet:it to eradicate, but it is one that should be stamped out whenever it makss 112 appearane.e, because it is a great daiwbaele to a bird, and there is no companion between a bird, with a rich, red lobe and one which shows "white in lobe.

A mating of Black Red coek and Blue Wheaten or Blue pullets will also pro. duce them. Duckwings, Birches and Brown Reds should be bred upon the lines advocated for breeding the modern bid e of therm colors, and so far as color points are C0110erlled the description is the same as for the moderns. The Creles are very handsome with their Cuckoo markings. They vary nineh in their ground color and also in the color of the marking, some being very dark, al- most blaek or blue reds, with only a sus- picion of marking, and that most steongly developed on the breast; -whilst otbers show the Cuckoo marking more or less all over the body, and so strong- ly that they are almost lievoid of any ground color owing to the happy blend- ing of the Cuckoo coloring. THE INTRICACIES OF BREEDING. Pyles can be bred by matching a black breasted red or a ginger cock to a white hen, and (although the majority of the first cross may come pure white, if the white pullets are mated to a black breasted red or ginger cook the result from this second crossing will be Pyles, although it is possible some of the pul- lets may be Clays or Wheateos, and some of the cockerels (or stags, as they are called by the old school of breeders) Clingers.

A Little Etlitertteil4' dfeer, rsOuCON r Little n Ms is a heart•todteart talk between the editor and little girls, in Whieb. the grownups at your house may take part If they wish, and which they need not listen to if they do not find. 119 interest- tua, le a private talk between the Writ. er and the little girls who sometimes wonder why they were placed on earth, and why they Alone do the things they ehould not do; wbo are ponied to final a Useful outlet for their energies. First of all, the editor has a good deal of sympathy witlt little girls. What he doesn't know about you would mato a mighty intereeting book, but he lies tried to understand yotte—and tiering said that, be hopes that he has your kind wishes. For tannot be said that very inany people really try to see things ae you see them. The writer never kicked a Tag dolt, nor threw one out of hie Ivey, for int stance. He tries to see it as you see it; that a rt.to doll bi make-1411mm baby, and he is sure that a little girl who loves rag dolls also loves pink babiee that breathe and cry, The love of little girls tor rag done shows the mother love that is in them— and this is why most little girls help their mothers all 00,y can. Mother, too. wile once a little girl who loved rag dolls; but the very feet that she lute passed. that age, and now has to earn for little girls, should, make little girls take good care of mother. 11 wotise both wane Mother helps the little girl; the little girl helps moth- er, 11. Should be, and generally is, a pleas- ure for them to help eaele other. Many little girls believe they should be allow- ed to give parties—just the same as mother. And 1215213' mothers believe that little girls should do part of the work preparing for these partles—just the sante us mother. And let us hope that; manymothers understand that 11. 19 natural for little girls to event to. play—juet the same as mother. That 13, that the little girls When they romp, and play with dolls, and swing from a limb in the apple or- chard, are enjoying life in just the same Ineasure that rnother enjoys (with, per, ham the (1151)09 still unwashed)a elmt with a neighbor. Both are relaxing, ea* ing up; the little girl frein her duties and lessons, the mother from her duties and worries. Again, if little girls only. knew how much pleasure they eoula give mother on such occasions by quietly slipping away and washing the dishes! Such mothers and little girls grow even fond. er of each other—if this were possidle. It isn't pleasant for a person who is friendly with all little people to find fault evith theno so the editor acknowl. edges with considerabie sadness that he knew* girls who will let rag dolls actu- ally fall to pieces rather than do a lit- tle work sewing up. holes, fastening legs and. arras, and seetng to it that some. body's head does not fall off. Many people bleme mother for this, claiming that she has not set a good example. But thna at as it may, the fact remai that little mothers who do 'not take good care of rag babies, are not the ones to be trusted too far with crying pink babies. Perhaps, of course, some little girls were not Intended to sew up rs.g dolls— and this is oo excuse for laziness—but were intended to sing and laugh and make mother happy in other ways than by keeping rag dolls and other things neat and well mended. 11. 18 a feet that some girls who are quite careless about such matters until they are almost grown up, later turn out very well in- deed, once they find their right place and start in a path whichm seems ade especially for them. You see, there is a road foe each of us, if we can only find it. Finally, little girls—rind now we are very much in earnest, and this is stria- ly between us—mother is your best friend and adviser. She knowel Mother used to be little girl. She had rag dolls, and she knows best wheth- er she should have sewed an lege and arras, or whether her neglect was justi- tied by future events, Mother went through all your trials and troubles. She had to go to school when she did not want to go to school. She wanted to give parties when she was not allow- ed to do so. She wanted a blue dress when her mother bought her a yellow dress. And. mother grew hp to womanhood, and you see her every day, don't you, working for you, and taking care of a ouse—so that her little girls 12151' grow petent judge 11111 lay more stress on the handling, shape and carriage of a bird Hann the markings, color of eyes and color itf legs. Light or claw eyes are by some judges considered a disqualifica- tion, whilst others are indifferent as to the coIor of a bird's eye, if the game properties are good, but I admit that: a large prominent red eye is xs great set- off to any bird. .Among the black - breasted Reds, Pyles, Wheatenand Whites will be found birds with bright red eyes, while others have light or al- fllOSb white eyes; the latter are termed dawaoyed on account of the color closely resemblitig the eyes of a jackdaw, VALUABLE PROPERTIES. At the present day, shape, style and feather are far more important en old English game bantams than extreme correctness of eater,. and breeders are devoting more attention to these points than they are to those of color, Beteind- bye, when the breed has become more firmly established, there is not hutch doubt that wo shall find old English game bantam breeders just as careful lend particular regarding color poluts as are the modern gitine bantam breed. ers, but that timi e s not yet. In some parts of the country the judging of the old English game bettam 18 tar from satisfactory. Many of the judges emu to overlook the fact that the bird, is a game fowl, And that game shape and style must take it foremost Oahe, Many all-around judges seleet senall, low, squatty birds for the prizete "broad -set" they style thou, and if they are wide in front end sheet on the leg the important points of tentage, short - tress of hawk, color and feather, received t'cry secondary eonsideration. This Is wrong; the old„ English game beam ie a game fowl, and should be so Judged. HIS tHARADTER. (Lon(1on Answers).

(Edward Arlikur Wicher), 0 God, our heavenly Fatfierdewhohast, taught us by the word and example Of — Thy blessed Son not to be cumbered with desires for worldly gain and ad, • vantage,. and hest promised to us all good things of which we have need, we acknowledge and confess to Theo thot We are ever prone to allow our proper foresight in temporal. affairs to beet:112e degraded to a vain anxiety about the concerns of this world ansi a sinful covet tousness for riches. We beseech Thee, for the sake of Christ, to pardon us our grevious fault, (ma more and more to wean our affection from the lust of money and the pride.of power, the love of comfort and the fear 'Of hardship; and help us to fix th,etateponpurity and integrity of body and soul, singleness of eye and fulness of light, and the life that is hidden with Christ in God. And vouchsafe Thine aid that, beyond all earthly preferment, We may desire these things for ourselves and our chil- dren, tutto all generatibna, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 'THE KINGDOM. . Prayer is a plank in the platform of the kingdom of Gad. Every plank is re- lated, fitted, in compactness and. beau- ty. The kingdom is onegrand whole; it is washed by the waters of time, basks in the Relit of the suet and on an- other shore there shines another light which would break the back of .a die tionary to describe. Time is on one side'eternity is on the other, and yet the kingdom is connected, held together not by cheins of iron or of gold, a king- dom not of this world. Ile'hat do we know of its genius, its laws, ite administration, its-colonies'its glory, its deetiny? The subjects of this kingdom live a double life; they bend ina,gnificent laws; they are thrilled vibrations of far-reaching wires; the bosom throbs with a dual life; there is the life of the flesh; there is the lite of the spirit, andyet this life is one. The life is held, enjoyed and, given. Held In God, enjoyed 'unto God, .sacrificed tb God. Self ever absorbs, unself empties out all, gives the best, the highest, tb.e most, Sacrifiee of thanksgiving, worship, adoration, .freely laid% on the altar of incense, already sprinkled with blood by priestly hands, This is prayer; receiv- ing, enjoying, giving. The order ot. sae' rifice is the elided, the purest and most lasting. Ile who is a memberof this - order, who walks in this procession, is heading for the kingdom of God. Prayer is a. brebth, a bloom, a beauty; prayer is a fragrance, a flower, a fruit, It is not occasional, emotional, erratic; it is simple., natural Ana strong to the heaven born and heaven bound. Itis a spell, a garment, a mystery; it cannot answer questions, and .asks but few. It is beautiful as a summer cloud, motet ed by the wind. of heaven; it moves te music, rests in peace, dissolves in team of greatest joy. It does not seek, it finds, it gives, The smoke of its sami- fiee gives joy to the inhabitants of heave en, and brings down blessings on earth. The Ohristian'il prayer is supernatueal talk and supernatural work; it is not alone, never unettendedotever without a pilot. Prayer is the voice of one who is free, and yet the, bond -slave of the Highest Master. Prayer is spirit acting on spirit; it gives, it waits, t pleads, it weeps. Prayer De a law of the kingdom; it is my breath, my bounty, mg blist, tho hand by which 1 iinia another hand, the eye by which I see, and by which my Father sees me. My law, my life, my m grace, y glory. Prai yer s the instinct of a redeemed. soul. "What litonble halide unbar those gates of morn, Through which the splendoes of the new day buret."
