HOPE GRANDMA GOT “SPECS” Old Lady Must Have Needed Them Badly If the Following Anecdote Is a True One. A woman sailing in the Aquitania recently held the following conversation by the aid of a man with a megaphone with her granddaughter on the quay at Southampton as the vessel was leaving: “What have you done with grandma’s spectacles?" bawled the man with the megaphone. “She says you took them from the piano to play with, and you are a naughty child.” A leather-lunged official on the quay put his hands to his mouth and answered : “She says she gave them back to you.” “She didn’t,” came the answer. “All right,” came from the quay; “she remembers putting them on the piano again. She will send them on to you.” “Goodby, Effie I” shouted the megaphone man. “Goodby, grandma!” was the reply. Driven to Desperation. He was an invited guest at the wed--ding and his shirt front was adorned with three massive diamonds which he had borrowed from a friend. All the evening he had endeavored to attract attention to the diamonds by ostentatiously pretending to adjust them, but no one appeared to notice them, much to his chagrin. During the evening, however, he saw his chance and, advancing to the newly married couple in the center of the room, he said in a loud voice: | “May your wedded life ba as bright as these,” pointing to the diamonds.

AND SHE CALLED IT “TEA” - — Those Fond of the Beverage Will Shudder at Thought of Awful Australian Decoction. Lord Lea of Fareham said at a New York reception: “Let us hope that prohibition won’t drive you to tea and make you such tea-slaves as the Australians are. “The last time I was in Australia I stopped at a cabin and an old woman gave me a cup of tea as black as ink. “ ‘How long,’ I asked, ’have you had this pot of tea on the fire, ma’am?’ “ ‘How long have I had it on the fife?’ chuckled Le old woman. ‘Why, bless your soul. I don’t never take it off the tire. I put in a handful of tea and then, when it gets weak, I put in another handful, and when the pot gets full of leaves I take a double handful out for my old man to smoke.’ ’’ —Detroit Free Press. What She Wanted. A customer askeu one of the saleswomen at the linen counter for a certain style of handkerchief. The alwayspleasant, ever-obliging assistant opened box after box, looked over the stock in the showcase with great care, and then brought forth a reserve stock and looked painstakingly through this —but without finding what she wanted. Then from a remote corner of one of ! the shelves she took down another box. When it was opened the customer exclaimed. “That’s It I” and holding up a lace-trimmed handkerchief she asked, “How much is It?” When told the price she replied, “I [ didn’t want to buy any of them, but a friend gave me one for a present, and I wanted to find out how much she paid for it.” Oldest Biblical Versions.

SCIENCHJN FARM Agriculturist of Today Must Know Business Thoroughly. Canadian Tillers of the Soil Hava Proved That Old Days of Haphazard Methods Have Gone. Agriculture in Canada has the status of a profession which both its high standard of operation and the prime place it occupies in national life justb fy. The days when land was casually tiled on and farmed without any intelligent understanding of agricultural processes are going with the dwindling availability of the land, and rapidly passing is the epoch of the destruction of soil values, and the abandonment of farms which have been rendered unproductive. Clearer and clearer has become the realization that farming is a specialized profession requiring special training, and in the place of this spoliation there is an intelligent system of crop rotation, preservation of the virtue of the land, a discovery of the nobility of the farmer's calling and a determination to secure and achieve the best possible in everything. The Education of the Farmer. Agricultural colleges, experimental farms, government literature, railway propaganda, all in an appreciation of the national benefits which accrue, contribute to the education of the farmer who, if lie starts out tn Ignorance, speedily discovers the futility and profitlessness of continuing in this state. It is only of comparatively recent years that fanning in Canada has become the comprehensive and exhaustive study it is and its tenets been so widely absorbed, and older farmers who have followed haphazard methods or systems scientifically unsound are gradually forced from necessity into an intelligent study and application of their profession. This brings us to the city man who Is anxious to leave his old life for the greater freedom of the country and take a farm for himself, and. the foregoing holding good, he need not follow far behind the older farmer if he take up the study of his work seriously, bring energy and Intelligence to bear upon a following out of the systems of experienced and successful agriculturists, and utilize the results of the expert investigation and research the Dominion places at his disposal. The whole country is w orking for hi; i and the novice has almost an equal opportunity with the farmer of a lifetime. A census of Canadian farmers would probably show that fully one-half are not farmers’ sons and were not brought up to the life of the farm. Yet none would criticize Canada's farmers on the score of poor farming methods In general, the excellency of their crops w ith international honors and the universal demand for their live stock products refuting this effectually. Significant is it, too, that practically all the farmers who have achieved the most signal honors at international farming competitions have not been lifelong farmers, but city men who, taking to the land after reaching maturity without the remotest previous knowledge of agricultural activities, have through intelligent study and close application of the l>est farming methods surpassed the efforts of those agriculturists who have continued doing things on the farm in the way their fathers used to do them.

The mere sight of a mouse will terrify an elephant cr a woman. Children quake at the mention of hobgoblins. Chickens and domestic fowl run to shelter vhen they see a shadow like that cast by a hovering hawk. Horses become helpless at the first smell of smoke. At a fire in a stable last week a groom tried to cover the horses’ eyes with a blanket and lead them to safety. The quivering, shaking animals drew back and refused to budge, fighting off their rescuer. Alive to the necessity of getting the animals from the blazing barn, the groom thought of away to quiet them and got down their harness. As soon as the horses felt the accustomed straps and buckles in place they followed their caretaker through the smoke and flames, even where they were singed, to the open air and freedom. —Portland Oregonian. Advent of the Match. The flurry of interest in the probability of being able to light the summer cottage ten years hence with cold light has excited less curiosity than the first “fire sticks” or matches, exhibited in England, a little over a century ago. The Morning Post of London, December 27, 1808, announces: “The success of the instantaneous light and fire machines daily increases, and the manufactory in Fifth street, Soho, has become now the daily resort of persons of the first fashion and consequence in town, who express themselves as highly gratified with the utility and ingenuity ot these phnusophical curiosities.” Not Just What He Meant. A quotation often causes a speaker to stumble. An orator was once referring to his wife, who happened to be in the chair. “I took her for better or worse.” he said. “She might have been better, she could net have been worse.” Os course, he meant to put It tl other way, but could not understand the roar of laughter until th,, lady in the chair said, “I forgive him this time.” The English of It.

Zedeklah was made king of Judah by the king of Babylon (24:17), but in spite of this kindness and the word of the Lord spoken to him by Jeremiah (Jer. 38:17, 18: cf. Jer. 52:3), he rebelled against the king of Babylon. He relied upon the help of Egypt, but all that Egypt could do was to cause temporary Interruption of the siege of Jerusalem. I. The Seige of Jerusalem (vv. 1-3). 1. Time of (vv. 1,2). It began on the tenth day of the tenth month of the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign and lasted about eighteen months. The tenth month according to the Jewish calendar ciffresponds to our DecemberJanuary, as their calendar year began about the middle of March. rhe reason the exact time is given is that this was to be an event of great importance to the Jews In their exile. 2. The Method (v. 1). Nebuchadnezzar came in person with a large army and encamped against Jerusalem and built forts against it round about. It Is thought that siege walls were built around the city, shutting it 'n. On the tops of these walls forts were built from which missiles of destruction could be hurled by their engines of war against the city. With the city shut in its fall was only a question of time. 3. The Famine (v. 3). Geikie says: “It was speedily followed, as is always the case, within outbreak of pestilence. Food was well nigh gone. There had long been no bread. Mothers were at last driven to murder and eat their children. The richest citizens wandering about “searching for scraps in the dunghills." Even outside the city the people were starving. “There was no bread for the people of the land." It Is estimated that onethird of the people of Jerusalem died of starvation. 11. Zedekiah’s Flight and Fate (vv. 4-7). 1. “The City was Broken Up” (v. 4). The Chaldeans had succeeded in making an opening in the wa'l so large that they could make their way into the city in spite of all that the Hebrews could do. Resistance was carried on to the bitter end. 2. Zedekiah’s Flight (v. 4). The king with his i ion of war fled by night toward the plain. His object, no doubt, was to cross the Jordan at Jericho and hide in the mountains east of Jordan. 3. Zedekiah’s Fate (vv. 5-7). (1) He was overtaken in the plains of Jericho (v. 5). When his flight was discovered the Chaldean army pursued and captured him. (2) He was brought to the king of Babylon at Riblah (v. 6). Riblah was a town north of Damascus. It was the king's headquarters from which he directed his armies against Tyre and Jerusalem. Before Nebuchadnezzar, Zedekiah was tried as a criminal. (3) His fate (v. 7). His sons were slain in his sight; his eyes were put out; he was bound with fetters of hr.ss; and they carried him to Babylon where he remained prisoner until the day of his death (Jer. 52:11). 111. Jerusalem Destroyed (vv. 8-10). The dismantling of the city was delayed a month, perhaps awaiting instructions from Nebuchadnezzar, who was at Riblah. 1. They Burnt the House of the Lord (v. 9). This was the sacred temple built by Solomon with additions and modifications. Before burning it they plundered It of all its sacred contents. 2. Burnt the King’s House (v. 9). This was doubtless the palace built by Solomon. 3. Burnt All the Houses of Jerusalem (v. 9). The implication is that the common houses were left for the people (v. 12). 4. They Broke Down the Walls of Jerusalem. The aim was to render the walls useless as a means of defense. IV. The Disposition of the People (vv. 11, 12). 1. Carried Them into Captivity (v. 11). The people who were left in the city and those who had deserted to the Babylonians were carried to Babylon; all such as would be of use in Babylon. 2. The Poorest of the Land Were Left (v. 12). The people who would not likely make any trouble were left as vlne-dressers and husbandmen. Doubtless they were looking forward to colonization by foreign peoples. The object in leaving these people —as that the country might be ready for their coming. Over these people Gedaliah was appointed ai governor, with headquarters at Mizpah. Wasting Time. Let us make up our minds to throw away no more time, ncr any more weaken our spiritual strength, by vain indulgences, but to govern our bodily appetites by this one rule, that we take what is most simple and wholesome. not what pleases us best; we shall find more In Ip in .his than we can well imagine beforehand, when we come to severer and bitterer trials. —John Keble.

Children Cry For j The False and the True. Advertising by the use of large space, the expenditure of huge sums of money have placed on the market, have put in your home, perhaps, many articles that today have been discarded, as you will readily admit. Do you recall anything that has more modestly appealed to the public than has Fletcher’s Castoriat modest in all its claims, pleading at all times —and truthfully —for our babies? The big splurg, the misleading claims may win for a time, but the honest truth-telling advertiser is like the old story of the tortoise that beat the hare. Mothers everywhere, and their daughters, now mothers, speak frankly, glowingly, enthusiastically in praise of Fletcher’s Castoria. Speak of it lovingly as a friend that has brought comfort, cheer and smiles to their little-one. To them: to these true mothers no argument can induce them to set aside their bottle of Castoria, their old friend, that they might try even another and unknown remedy for babies.
