, 'MARIE ANN REST
Misplaced Matter
She was a thin, ,3ent, wiry little old
lady and looked rail and worn. Two
worried lines were deeply marked on
her forehead between her eyes and
she never seemed to have time to even
angle. Her home was always immacu-
late. The garden was a bower of im-
maculate flowers, fresh, clean flowers
In lovely color, and she surely had
the horor, if one calls it honor, of
having her place immaculately differ-
eut.
It was because she was an indefa-
tigable scrubber and all she could see
was dirt. The house inside was
scrubbed in every nook and corner,
yes, and outside in every nook and
corner as well. The garden paths
were swept So dilligently that they be-
came shiny black pathways.. No stray
leaf dared to have a resting place for
long in that garden. 0118 even won-
dered if they might have an inkling
that they were unwelcome and fintter-
ed down just outside of it, for it seem-
ed one never could see any leaves
there at any time. The trees too
looked different, the leaves showed
they were maples but the trunks were
of a light creamy color not seen else-
where. People wondered at their ap-
pearance until the information was
whispered, that the trunks were 'scrub-
bed.
Little Mary was just three and of-
ten forgot to say please and thank you,
often her mother would say "flow
Mary, you must be a good girl and
remember to say please and thank
you."
Shortly after, Mary wanted to play
with the neighbor's little girl and was
asked "Will you. be a real good girl
over there?"
"Oh yes, I be good." "How good?"
said mother. "011—I be Yank you
good."
The One Minute Cold Sponge
People who do not take the cold
sponge bath each morning are Missing
a very important daily necessity.
To the uninitiated, chills and a very
disagreeable time are visualized but
it is not hard •to take if done very
quickly and brings with, it a glow and
vitality that lasts through the day.
It is the best preventive for colds that
can be given. Do not miss it.
About Flowers
The Amaryllus bulb which has such
a beautiful red flower clustered on
top of its long stem, should be repotted
about every two or three years. When
through blooming cut off the green but
do not rest the plant by putting it in
a dark place.
The little lady died before her time,
wan and wrinkled, and the house was
silent, but as the weeks passed how
•soon the garden gradually became as
other gardens. Leaves fluttered down
and strewed the paths and even a
weed dared peep through the ground
and grew until it went the way of all
weeds. The trunks of the maples be-
come golden and gradually put on the
coat of nature's brown. Although the
-place did not bloom with the -unusual
colors of misplaced cleanliness it soon
took on the glory of nature's gifts and
best of all through it. walked the new
owner with her straight, beautifully
modelled figure. The bloom of health
was on her .cheek and in the glint of
her eyes as she walked through. the
quiet garden in pensive leisure, loving
the flowers which nodded and bloomed
fully as contented with her average
care as under the strenuous and ex-
tremely misplaced diligence of the
former owner.
It did seem the little old lady never
could enjoy her home for she was al-
ways seeing what she c ailed dirt,
whether it was dirt or not, and she
missed altogethernature's beauty at
her very door. After all is not dirt
only misplaced .mattea. and -we the
choosers • of what is misplaced Does
this not indicate that we 'sometiMes

Lesson
Wood Destroying Fungi
Mauy stains and all rots in wood
are caused by plants of simple struc-
ture, known as fungi. The wood-de-
stroing fungi develop within the wood
and at maturity produce .their fruit
on the surface. These fruits are the,
best known parts of the fungous
plants. They appear only on wood
which is in an advanced stage of de-
cay or stain-, and take the form of
toadstools, fleshy or woody shelves,
encrusting sheets, or of mitinte incon-
spicuous bodies scarcely diedrenable
to the naked eye. sL At maturity
fungous Milts shed clouds 'of fine,
dust -like 'particles known as spores

Finds Bees Equipped
With Radio Sets
Swiss Scientist Learns How
the Insects Communicate
with Their Hives
Genevea—A Swiss scientist, Dr.
Leueuberger, has discovered that
bees possess in their bodies a 'natural
wireless set' with which they com.
municate with their hives. During his
experiments Dr. Lieuenberger placed
In his garden a saucer of anal's('
water near a hive, but had to wait
many hours before a bee arrived for
a drink. As the insect was drinking,
the Swiss scientist marked a yellow
spot on its back and then watched its
movements.
"After some time," he said, "the
bee flew back to the hive and en-
circled it seyeral hundred times, eva
dently trying to show its companions
that it had discovered a mine of nec-
tar and wanted theat to enjoy it, but
they took no notice.
"Then the bee flew back to the
saucer and sent out wireless calls,
"Between the two last rings of its
stomach a brilliant, humid light ap-
pears when the insect wills it. This
light is different in every hive. As
soon as the bee sent out its message
of wireless light hundreds of bees
flew to the spot in a few minutes to
enjoy the feast.
"About fifty years ago naturalists.
discovered that the bee possessed a
perfume gland the use of which they
could not explain. The perfume dif-
fers in every hive and each. hive has
its own wave length,"
HO, fbr the new adventure begun,
With "release from the bough!
There is wind, there is sun:
There is hope that builds already for
spring.
Who forever would dutch and cling
Even upon one beautiful tree?
Now, little lingerers, now you. are

Free to flutter and float and fly,
Each to be quiet at last, and lie
In a gentle sleep under snow, under

Till spring shall rouse you over again;
Ont of your dust in the fragrant

Mingled with essences manifold,

which had come to them through the
teaching of prophets and wise men of
the past. Their laws were based upon
the ancient laws of Moses. They look-
ed for a golden age of justice and
universal peace under the rule of a
great King and Saviour of David's
line. This King, some of their teach-
ers held, would be himself divine,
exalted to the very throne of God and
only those would enter hiS kingdom
who kept the,lawa of God and lived
upright lives. To have eternal life
was to be fit and qualified for admis-
sion to that kingdom, and therefore to
triumph over death and all its terrors.
The question which the rich young
ruler asked was of the.highest import-
ance to him and it is evident that he
was not entirely satisfied with the
answers which he had previously re-
ceived from his teachers.
What Jesus meant by his answering
question, "Why callest thou me good?"
is not clear. Matthew gives it in a
different form, "Why asketh thou me
concerning that which is good?" Jesus
may have seen in this form of address
an effort of the questioner to pay him
a compliment, nd may li2.ve desired
to turn his thoughts from the opinions
of teachers. however good or great, .fda
the demands of God And, therefore,
he refers the questioner to "the com-
nrand..,..911 -good- Jaws.
lieved to be the laws of God. The
young man's answer is no doubt hon-
est. He has observed all these laws
from his youth and yet is not satis-
fied. He asks, "What lack I yet?"
Matt. 19: 20.
Thereis an interesting expansion uf
the words of Jesus in an ancient writ-
ing, the so-called "Gospel of the Naz-
arenes." "How sayest thou, `I have
kept the law and the prophets?' •HONV
does it stand written in the law?
`Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy-
self;' and see, many of thy brethren
are covered with filth and dying of
hunger while thy house is 2 nil of good
things, and nothing at all goes out
from it to them."
There was evidently much good in
this young man, and "Jesus looking
upon him loved him." Jesus must have
seen that -nothing but a life of service
to his fellow men would satisfy that
deep soul hunger which had prompted
his question. He called him to such
a life, his, ;wealth given to feed the
poor and he himself one of the dis-
ciples and fpllowers .of Jesus. • "But
his countenance fell a's the saying, and
he went away sorrowful.
II. TH'E'HARDSHIP OF THE RICH, vs. 28
27.
The possession of great wealth was
more to, this young ruler than the call
of God. One is tempted to say, "The
poor rich .man." We often speak of
'thShardships of the poor. Jesus says,
"How hardly • shall they that have
riches" ,get the best things in life,
"enter into the 7cingdoin of God!" It
is hard, not f•ta• the rich, but "for
them that trust in riches."
INTRODUCTION --The lesson raises
the question of the attitude of Jesus
to wealth. Did he regard wealth as a
curse rather than a blessing? Did he
think it wrong for a man to accumul-
ate wealth? The answer to such ques-
tions ca' only be found by a careful
reading of the whole gospel narrative.
Jesus' own folk,.the family of Nab-
areth, were not rialas -but' apparent -1Y.
people of moderate means. It wouldse
. also that his disciples were of
the same class. But when he entered
upon his ministry he seems to have
made no distinction between the rich
and the poor. He listens:to-the peti-
tion of the rich ruler and of the cen-
turion and helps them in their need as
readily as to the poor and the outcast.
He sees clearl; the temptations of
wealth to selfish living, but does not
'anywhere condemn the possession of
it. He commends the servant who
renders faithful service to his 'lord.
That man, he declares, is foolish who
lays up treasure for himself and is
not rich toward God. If love of riches
srevents a man from rendering the
best service of which he is capable to
his fellow men then it becomes to him
a curse, It is not the having or not
having of worldly goods thatais in the
mind of Jesus a matter of importance,
but the goodthat he can do. In one
never-to-be4orgottei. sentence he
makes his mind clear on this subject
when he says, "A man's lifa consisteth
nrt in the abundance of the things
\‘..lich he possesseth," Luke 12: 15.
Jesus would therefore have men put
the pursuit of wealth 'in its proper
place, not first, but second, and stib-
ordinate to the real and infinitely pre-
cious things of the kingdom of God.
I. REFUSING THE CALL TO SERVICE, vS.
17-22. ••
It was, according to Luke (18: 18-
30), "a certain ruler" who came to
Jesus with the question,"Good Mas-
ter, what shall I do that may inherit
eternal life?" No doubt he was a man
of some intelligence, well brought up
and educated according to the customs,
ideas and manners of his time. The
Jews had a great ; inheritance in the
history and literature of a thousand
years, and in the high conceptions of
Cleaning the Oil Range
The energy spent in renovating an
oil range is well repaid. I remove
all screws which hold the burners in
place and put them in a baking -pow-
der can. These, with the burners,
'cores, chimneys and the pipe through
which the oil flows, are 'immersed in
strongly lye water overnight. In the
morning the sediment in the fittings
will be sufficiently softened to permit
thorough cleaning.
The pipe is cleaned by loosening
the sediment with a long stiff wire,
rinsing well with lye water. Lastly,
hook the wire on a stout piece of
cloth and draw through the pipe and
repeat until the cloth comes out clean.
That part of the burner in which
the wick fits needs special eare. A
long knife or anything that will reach.
the bottom of the burner should be
used. Scrape well and turn the
burner upside down and tap the sides
carefully so as not to make any dents.
Large pieces of sedimeats will fall
out. •
Rinse out well with kerosene to i•e-
move all particles of sediment. Very
often when a new wick has been in-
serted It is impossible when through
with the fire to turn the wick low
enough to extinguish the flame.. At
such. a time you may be very certain
that the burner contains a great deal
of sediment and needs cleaning.
All corrosion should be scraped
from the cores. It this corrosion

the smoking and weak blaze,

Real World -Beaters
Near Pateley Bridge, Yorkshire, is
a dam which is the biggest in Europe.
Begun. nine years ago by the Brad-
ford Corporation, it is now practically
complete. Its purpose is to trap the
waters of the Nidd and form a lake
which will supply an area of 120
square miles with water.
While this dam sets up a European
record, it isn't a world-beater. .A
surprising number of world records-
howeVer, are held by Europe.
England, for instance, can boast the
world's biggest city. Belgium has the
most complete railway system. There
are more miles of railway line in pro:
portion to area in Belgium than any-
where else in the world.
France boasts of possessing the
world's largest wireless station, at St.
Assise; its most powerful searchlight,
at Mont Valerian, outside Paris; and
its biggest airport, at Le Bourget.
But Demark has the amazing record
of all. Forty-seven out of every hun-

If a flowerpot and saucer are used,
glue cloth to the ottoin of the saucer
and. 'cover the inside with melted para-
