INTnonGcrune—Isaiah was a keen
observer of the events of his time. It
was with deep insight into God's ways
that he looked upon the tragic events
of his age, the fall of Damascus in
732, the fall of Samaria in 721, and
the siege of jerusa)em in B.C. 701.
I, A}IAU ANTI 7612 $YaO-ISRAELITE IN-
'YASION, ch. 7,
In 736 the king of Damaseas (or
rather of Syria), hard pressed by the
growing power of Assyria on .the east,
formed an alliance with the king of
Israel against Assyria, and these two
endeavoredfirst: to persuade and then
to farce 'Judah to join with them.
Abaz, king of Judah in Jerusalem,
preferred to ally his little kingdom
with Assyria and thus made himself
and his people vassals of and, tribut-
ary to that proud and powerful em-
pire. Chapter 7 tells us how these
two potty kings, to strengthen their
defensive league against Assyria, in-
vaded Judah intending to take Jeru-
salem, depose King Ahaz, and put
upon the throne of Judah a man of
their own showing, and how in Jeru-
salem; king and people were stricken
with terror (vs. 1.2 c.f., i", 6, and 2
Kings 16:5-8). Isaiah then compar-
atively a young man, brought to the
king a message of comfort and cheer.
Ile counseled watchfulness and cairn
confidence in the protecting care of
Jehovah, and predicted the speedy
overthrow of the invading kings. He
seems to have opposed the dependence
upon Assyria's help (2 Kings 16:7),
but Aha.z rejected his advice. It was.
at this juncture that he foretold to
Aha% the coming ofa
nether andgreat-
er ki
n ._
on to be born, whose siR' mft-
cant name would be Immanuel, "God
with us," who would grow up during
the i erhed of trouble and distress
which was, speedily coming. His very
name in itself gave assurance of ulti-
mate deliverance, and he, succeeding
tr, i.he throne of David, would estab-
lish a kingdom which should endure
forever, rtes also 9:1-7. Ahem seems
to have profited not at all by Isaiah's
message, but went his own foolish
way of fatal alliance with and hence
subiretion to Assyria. The prediction
of Isaiah was not fulfilled in his time,
as he apparently expected, but it was
the first declaration of Israel's hope
of a coming sting and Saviour, anti
was taken up by other prophets after
him and handed down through the fnl-
irrvint; centuries until its fulfillment in
the birth and ministry and spiritual
ltirig'I.••nh of our Lord Josue Christ.

III. THE ASSYRIAN CRISIS, chs. 36 and
37 -
The Assyrian armies entered Pales-
tine in P.C. 701. See the story of
their coming as told in 2 Kings, chs.
18 and 19, and in our lesson. There is
also an Assyrian record of this inva-
sion which has high historical value.
Many of the cities and strongholds of
Judah were taken and Jerusalem was
besieged by a detachment from the
main army at Lachish, under the com-
mand of one of the king's chief offi-
cers. The Otory of this officer's meet-
ing with Hewell ah's two ministers and
his insolent speech in which he de-
ananded the surrender of the city is.
fully told in ch. 36. In the negotia-
tions fol the Egyptian alliance, Isa-
iah's 'counsel had been uegglected, but
in this crisis he was 'consulted and he
sent to Hezekia'ls in reply an assuring
and comforting message, eh. 37:5-7,
Either at this time or earlier haze-
kiah had endeavored to buy off the
invaders by payment of a very large
sena in money and `treasure, 2 King's
18;14.16. For this or some other rea-
son, the singe wan lifted, but later the
Assyrians returned with a second de-
mand
o-mand for the city, ch. 37:9-14. The
mention of Tirhakah here (v. 9) is
puzzling, as Egyptian records shoal
that he did not reign until ten years
later. The prayer of Hezekiah in has
deep disteess, and the message of Isa-
iah, breathing defiance to the foes and
confidence in the Lord, the Holy One
of Israel, are too well known to need
further comment. In some' myster-
ious and awful way, ')by plague` or
other eau se (v; " 36), the Assyrian
army on the borders of Egypt was
destroed, the siege of Jerusalem w'a's
consequently abandoned, and the king-
dom of Judah was saved from extinc-
tion for another hundred years.

Storage of Seed Potatoes
Good seod potatoes- are essential
for the prod:Jetfoil of good crops, and
it has bean clearly proven that Nso
seed potatoes certified under the rules
and regulations of the Dominion De-
partulont of Agriculture- can he de-
pended upon to give high ylelds.of ex-
°ellent quality. But securing certi-
fied seed is not enough. - According to
a new: pamphlet on Oertiilcd Seed.
I Potatoes ,distributed by the Publics
tions Branch, Department of Agricul
lure, Ottawa, the care of the potatoes
in storage before seeding time is
highly important. Potatoes, no mat-
: ter tow perfect, cannot stand rough
, handling, high temperatures, or wet
conditions.

producing a crop of certified seed pe--
: tatoes or of obtaining them from a
dealer, it would be foolish to allow

a Safe method only if the potatoes

Iesnr'ted to, care should be taken to
avoid piling the tubers against the
wall or directly on the door, as this
practice does not permit or sufficient
ventilation, especially When the
quantity is large. A false wall of
slats, close enough together to retain
the potatoes and about 6 inches from
the main wall should bei constructed.
A temporary floor should be laid down
about 6 inches above the permanent
floor, with circulation .space between

ble and loss Caused by weeds yet many
farmers use poorly cleaned seed grain

tion• of new weeds,and the increase of
those already hi -the land, The Do-
minion. Seed Branch has conducted, an
inquiry into this, source of the spread
of weeds and the results are summed
up in a bulletin on Weeds and Weed
Seeds, The inquiry elicited the fact
that about 75 per cent. of Canadian
fanners grow their own seed grain.
Most of the grain purchased for seed
is secured from neighboring farmers,
but considerable quantities are ob-
tained from graln dealers and seed
merdnants.. Analysis of samples col-
lected shows that most of the grain
sold for seed contains large numbers
of different kinds of weed seeds.
Weed seeds are also prevalent in
home grown seed. It Is therefore ob-
vious tisat great care should be exer-
cised in selections and cleaning. Some
weed seeds are difficult to separate
but most of them may bo removed by
a properly equipped and well operated
fanning mill, When the fanning null

methods of control of a large num-
ber of weeds, may be obtained from

of Agriculture, Ottawa.
The Superiority of Certified Seed
Potatoes
It has been clearly shown during re-
cent years that the seed potatoes
certified by the inspectors of tate Do-
mini= Department of Agriculture are
much superior to the general run or
common stock. The rules and regul-
ations .governing the production and
inspection of thiscertified seed are
given in a new pamphlet en Cana-
dian Certified Seed Potatoes, distri-
buted by the Publication Branch, De-
partment of Agriculture, Ottawa, Tho
standards set for certification are
high and the results frown the use of
certifies seed have been correspond-
ingly ,favorable. Whether potatoes'
are grown for seed purposes or table
stock, it is essential that the very
best seed be used, since good found-
ation stock is the basis or good craps
and profitable markets. Commercial
potato -growers whose stock Is badly
infested with diseases or contains
mixed var'ie'ties will find it decidedly
advantageous to secure certified seed.
The use of each seed would double)

many farms
Age of Steers to Feed
In selecting steer's for feeding work,
the age of the animate is an import-,
ant coneideration, All things consid-
ered the average feeder would be web
advised to feed two -year-olds, in the
opinion of the authors of an Experi-
mental Farms bulletin oa the Winter
Feeding of Beef Cattle in Ontario.
The bulletin gives an account of ex-
periments
xperiments in feeding steers of differ -
eat ages•: Over a six years period the
two-year•oids made the greatest gains,
but the yearlings were a'close second
and the three -year -Glee were not far
behind. The younger steers bad the
advantage in the cost per 'pound gain,
as the cost increases with age. The
lower feeding coot of the younger
steer is due to the fact that he is

Farm. et ow that the grinding of the
rough feed dill not aid materially, If
at all, to its feeding value. The de-
tails of the investigation are given
in tho latest report of the Dominion
Aninsal Husbandman. Among other
things it was demonstrated that cut
corn fodder is not of as high value
for milk production as corn silage.
When corn fodder and mixed hay
were both cut and ground and fed in
comparison with silage and 011e same
mixed hay, not cut or ground, the lat-
ter action proved to be slightly the
more efficient for milk production.
These results indicate that grinding
roughage does not improve it. On
the other hand, the extra labor of
cutting and grinding adds materially
to the cost, It can safely be said,
therefore, that under normal -condi-
tions, it would not bo economical to
grind rough feed, at feast for dairy
cows, particularly cine there is no

at Home
There aro many wonlon to -clay who
have handsome- coats and ensembles
trimmed with fur which are still at-
tractive and iii style, but tiie fur col-
lars of which look shabby, Perhaps
other' fur trimming on the same gar -
menta is in good condition, not having
received as hard wear as the collars
aucl cuffs. What is to be done then?
Tito writer has had some successful
experiences to being her own furrier,
From remodeling collars and mill's,
she has learned several tricks of the
trade, which she is glad to pass on to
those who are skillful with the noodle,
and have more patience and Persever-
ance, perhaps, than dollars to payfor
costly new' fur or expert remodeling,
Laying In. Reserves.
The first step is to decide what ma-
terial is available for repairing or for
malting entirely, new cuffs or collars.
A
little, -good fur' goes a long way and
therefore it is better to have' one nice
collar on a special coat than to have
a number of partly -worn collars and
cuffs or elaborate trimming of fur that
is not in the best condition, For this
reason when this amateur buys a gar-
sent, . she nearly always removes
from -it unnecessary panels of fur or
extra pockets offair and keeps them
for the next 'season's use. For 111.
stance, a coat flet was purcllasecl had
handsome collars and cuffs of fur and
large panels running up the side
seams from the hemline. These extra
pieces were "removed and this season
they made a handsome new collar and
repaired worn places on the cuffs.
Again, a suit that was trimmed with
beaver had superfluous pockets of
beaver and these were ripped off and
this season they do duty as a lovely
collar on a light -weight sports coat.
So much for a reserve supply from
each sources.
Another source of fur Is from dis-
carded garments, and the clever wo-
man will salvage any good fur before
disposing of garments no longer of
use. Often fur that looks worn or
faded on one garment, used with dis-
will dressup another gar-
cretion,
mont. For example, a light green
wool coat worn during one season was
edged with imitation gray squirrel,
and at the end of the summer this
trimming looked decidedly passe. All
the narrow strips were ripped off,
therefore, and it was found that cer-
tain sections of the banding were
fresh. Immediately the experimenter
thought oT one of those new seamsd
fur collars that have been so much in
vogue this year. Piecing one strip af-
ter another, she soon had a smart col-
lar for another gray coat that did not,
because of its matching color, draw as
much attention to the t'ur but blended
prettily with it.
Find the Direction of the Fur.
Whatever the material on hand, the
next consideration is the size of collar
or cuffs that are to be made, If a col-
lar is quite badly worn and there is
new material, 1t is better to make an
entire no wcollar and use the old col-
lar for mending the cuffs wherever
they are most worn. Laying out tine
fur, one will notice that it "goes" a
certain way and this must he careful-
ly borne in mind when planning new
collars or trimmings. Noticing how
the old collar was arranged will help
0110, and in planning the new collar
the o/d one can often be used for the
right dimensions- ,,The fur' collar on
any garment Is nearly always deeper
in the back than the wool or shit that
linos it, so the collar will roll easily
and prettily when turned up about the
neck, And 3t one uses the under collar
or lining for a pattern, an extra inch
or two must be allowed when cutting
the fur, Most collars also have the
fur going away from the neck, that Is
with the brush or pile turning down.
Sometimes the collar is seamed at the
back, however, to have the fur go
from the back toward the front, one
oath side, as well as to tend In a
downward direction. Most fur really
has a very definite "way" which is
easily recognized by stroking; a
smooth and a rough way.
• Look -Before Cutting.
Certain that the fur will all "go"
the sight way, the next step 1s cutting.
For this purpose a tiny sharp pan -
knife blade is ideal.. Tho fur should
be laid fur downward, tied with Pen
-
oil or chalk one can mirk on the pelt
where one wishes to cut. Then draw
the knife with a down stroke across
•
After cutting qua piece of ftte, it
wen to stop end try it on the garment
and with other Dices, to be sure thee
the fur is going the right way as well
as to match' the color of the piecen.
Color matching 1e"'indoed important,
for a fur of one color will vary greatly
in shades in various areas and most
unhappy results are 'obtained melees
tate is studied. For example, beaver,
while easily seamed, often shadea
front light tan td deep brown and it
would be most startling to 500111 a col-
lar atthe back, leaving light tan on
one side of the seam and deep brown
011 the otaser.
Yet there are exceptions to these
rules and it is not as difficult as it
may sound, sometimes, toachieve
sense ,voly.. pretty effects with. odds
and ends of fur. For instance, cara-
cul can really be patched ie. all kinds
of waye,.`vith fur going north, south,
east and weal, and with light and
dark mixed Hither and thither, The.
writer had a caracul neckpiece, which
Was a lovely quality of fur and a
beautiful color but extremely out of
style in design. She literally cut it to
pieces to shape 1t into a modern coat
collar, for the patched together 07
small pieces at various angles and in
various,' ways. Yet when lintel -Led, it
was remarked upon by several friends
who did not know of its "seamy side!
Patching and Seaming.
In patching a small piece et fur into
a larger one,as, for example, along a.
lower cuff line, where the edge has
become worn, it has been found much
easier and better to patch in 'triangles
of fur rather than squares, These
triangles may even be inserted in a
middle area where fur is worn, and
by their shape they will hide success-
fully among the fur that brushes over
the seams.
Seaming and `servinis g of great lin-
portance. Seams must all be tight,
but not drawn or puckered. A strong,
sturdy sewing needle, of medium size,
must be used, with No. 00 black
thread for dark fur; and the stitch re-
quired is a flue over -the -over one,
made while holding the edges of fur
together tightly, with the fur brushed
away from the seam as much as pos-
sible. Buttonhole stitch is excellent,
too, resembling the machine stitch
used by furriers. If stitches are taken
loosely the fur will have parts which
are most unbecoming to collars and ,
cuffs, but this can be remedied by re -
sewing the seams, going in the oppo-
site direction. Deep stitches are not
as important as ones close together
with tightly drawn thread.
The outside edges of fur are usual-
ly bound with tape or strips of black
muslin, and this is simply done by
sewing on tape or cloth, in an over -
and -over stitch, then basting the tape
la toward the pelt, ready to sew on
the garment
Padding.
Padding is another item that helps
to make collars and cuffs attractive
when llnisllod. Tile padding removed
from old pieces can be used again on
new collars, or shoot padding can be
laid against the pelt and tacked under
the outer taping and here add there
a nthe pelt, if necessary, or to the
lining of the garment when the fur is
sewed in place. Short stitches
should be used to whip the fur to the
garment, and those are easily -*taken
because one can sew to tape instead
of to the pelt, hiding the stitches un-
der the fur that always out on tho
edges of cuffs or collars. Whenever
fur is caught under tlsa thread, it is
well to pull it out carefully with the
needle as one goo along, so the fur
will not look Irregular in edge when
done or have a "sewed tight" look
that is sometimes the result of an
A few light quick shakes of the fur
will finif it up whodb one has finished
the piece, and airing it for a few
hours, In the fresh' bright sunshine,
wil} improve its appearance, whether
it is new fur or old fur or a combina-
tion of both. — Christian Science

Present Day Feminine
Hats
Paris Georges Cionienoeau, the
"TigeR" of laranoe, knows a great
deal about women, he revealed to the
\Hnited Press in one of his rare inter.
views recently.
Although France's wap -time premier
has 1'efasod steadfastly to talkfor
publication, :about politics, he -toy'
the object of feminity murex to
liking and declared that the 1no7ytsrn
girl was worse than his grietedmother..
"Look at the liberties she takes
with life," the Grand Olcl Man of
France said. "Look at her bobbed
hair and short dresses."
"Tire Tiger," looked at many of
those qualities ote Armistice Day at
Vendee But on that occasion he .did
notseem to disapprove so violently.
In fact he seemed quite happy to kiss
all the bright-cheeked girls of Von -
dee who came hie: way.
As to his indictment of modern
girls, however, Clemenceau admitted
that most of 1110 evidence against
them was based on hearsay.'
"But I have seen many of the
changes which have come Over the
daughters of Vendee fishing families,"
he said.
Had No Opinion
At first the "Grand Old Man,"
sought to dodge behind his stock
phrase: "No, I will give you no opt-
nion; you know I have no opinion' on
anything. And especially at .my age
I do not dare adventure on a subject
so dangerous as women."
Later he warmed up to his subject,
Forgetting his self-confessed lack of
opinion, he went on: "I do not see
young women frequently, but eonsi•
dering what I hear young women of
to -day are not what they used to be in
my days.
"For example, the beautiful lace
bonnets are disappearing despite the
fact that they are more attractive
than modern !sats. What do they
wear now? A little felt hat that you
can put in your pocket.
"I still remember my father's two
housemaids, When I was a youngster
they floated from room to room lilte
birds, their starched lace i'aadplece

"You still see a few al Vendee, but 'r

sant skirts merely to ati.rant tuurts;s.
"Oh! I know t:`ese Vendee girls."
Was Frank Woman
Clemenceau lifted his brows one
searched his rnohn, He ensiled and
continued: "You remember etallahle,
that market woman who scili ml'
vegetables and fish at Sablt-s lie 1,
Olonte?
"You knew, T am absolutely ,'in-
v;nead that elle wears' a tang holm et

woman, that Mathilde, e amuses
me.
"On my last visit to Vendee, site
sales, 'You look tired AI'sieu Clemens-
ceatt'
"I replied: 'It is probable I am be.
ginning to feel the weight of my wild
oats.
"'Go on,' Mathilde told me. 'Ae
many as you could have sewn, they
eertatnly were not no much es I
sowed.'
"But that ltd not prevent Mathilde
from marrying," Clemenceau observ-
ed.
The Tiger's thoughts wander now-
adays. Momentarily be forgot all
about the modern woman and ex-
plained that he was tired of doing hiss
own arketing and arguing about
prices,m
"So T sent my faithful servant," ice
sail,
"I live as my fancy Presses, but it
is right. I have paid dearly. for the
privilege."
Clemeneoan'a granddaughter breez-
ed into the room at this momeet and*
gave "The Tiger," a hug and a ties.
"So you want a divorce in order to •
come and marry me," Glamersceau
said `winking
"A11 right, I'm free." . 1
He laughed; the grand -daughter
said Georges Clemenceau has spoken
enough. He was wrapped in a blank-
et and the interview ended.
She—"I suppose, You are a lover of
music?" He—"Oh, yes, but you can'
go on playing just the game."
