books In the
world are auto

Hero worship
pers and scholar
ly historians give
ua highly color
ed or coldly crit
ical accounts of
the llvos and la
bors of eminent
men, but when a
man who has had
vast experience,
sits down near the close of life, to
write out the story of his career, he
usually produces a book thrllllngly in
teresting. Such a volume generally goes Into
details concerning the birthplace, the
home, the early education, the trade,
the profession, the public career, of
the writer, embellished and illustrat
ed with numerous references to his
contemporaries, incidents and hap
penings covering a wide range of time
and circumstances. The public eager
ly peruses such volumes, and the
young are Inspired and encouraged by
such examples.
The World's Hero.
There is no man in history who
commands the interest and admira
tion of the world more than tho Apos
tle Paul. His biographer Luke has
written in the Acts of the Apostles
bis marvellous story at considerable
length, a story which places him In
the front rank as a scholar, an orator,
a leader, an organizer, a traveler, an
explorer, a theologian, a writer, a BUf
ferer, a tireless worker, and always
and everywhere a christian gentle
man. Ho tells us where Paul was born,
where he was educated, when and
where he was converted, the regions
into which he travelled, the churches
he organized, how he was persecuted,
the great men ho met, in what cities
he preached, how he worked at his
trade to pay his way, what a profound
student he was, what a clear under
standing he had of human nature,
how he confounded his adversaries In
his arguments, how he saved the
church from splitting on the. rock of
Judaism, how he, put in half a cen
tury of '-workTail over Asia and Europe,
turning the forces of heathenism, pa
ganism and Judaism upside down and
planting the standard of the cross
above the Itoman eagles. It Is a
thrilling memoir this, of the. Life of
St. Paul, and It will never die.
Summary of His Life.
But this Is not all we know of this
great hero of the church. In the
epistle to the Corinthians the apostle
incidentally writes his own autobio
graphy and In the 11th and 12th chap
ters records with his own pen a sum
mary of the events of his life, without
a particle of egotistic, bombastic
boasting he puts down a catalogue of
the things ho had done and suffered
for tho cause of Christianity, and the
list Is startling enough to make us
modern christians hide our heads In
chagrin and embarrassment. We are
like pigmies in the presence of a giant
lahen we open the volume of the book
and read such words as these:
"In labors more abundant, In stripes
above measure, in prisons more fre
quent, in deaths oft, of the Jews five
times received I forty stripes, save
one. Thrice was I beaten with rods,
once was I Btoned, thrice I suffered
shipwreck, a night and a day have I
been in the deep. In journeylngs
often, In perils of waters, in perils of
robbers, In perils by mine own coun
trymen, in perils by the heathen, in
perils in the city, In perils In the wil
derness, in perils In the sea, in perils
among false brethren; in weariness,
and palnfulness, In watchlngs often,
In hunger and thirst, in fastings often,
In cold and nakedness. Besides those
things that are without, that watch
cometh upon me dally, the care of all
tho churches."
Tonic for the Weak-Kneed.
This Is autobiography at its best
The modern soldier of the cross does
well to keep such a biography near
at hand and read It often for his com
fort and encouragement, we some
times think, in these soft and careless
days, that we have a hard time of it
trying to exemplify Christianity. Poor,
weak-kneed specimens of piety, when
we feel these fainting spells coming
on we ought to take a good big dose
of tho Apostle Paul. There was Iron
In his blood, ambition in his head,
strength in his grip, fire in his eye,
and genuine religion in his heart.
The love of personal liberty, the
perilous prospect of death, none of
these things moved htm from the de
sire and purpose to finish his course
with Joy, and to fulfill the ministry
which he had received as a sacred
trust from the Lord Jesus. Christ. To
be a follower of such a hero is to be
In the apostolic succession by the
powor of the Holy Ghost When the
world gets a race of christians to
whom nothing Is so dear as the un
speakable luxury and matchless op
portunity of fighting in this old hero's
company and with his weapons, the
Kingdom of God will tome.

Senator Beverldge, In tho course of
an eloquent after-dinner speech in
Boston, said of child labor:
"When we consider tho indifference
with which so many of our great men
look upon the child-labor evil, wo
can't help wondering If these men are
so very great after all."
Senator Beverldge paused and
smiled.
"An orator," ho said, "was address
ing an assemblage of people. He re
counted the people's wrongs. Then
he passionately cried:
"'Where are America's groat men?
Why don't they take up the cudgel
In our defense7 In the face of mani
fold wrongs, why do they remain cold,
Immovable, silent?'
" 'Because they're all cast in

STOCK
STABLE VENTILATION.
Two 8ystome, the Rutherford and the
King Explained.
To snond money and careful thought
Installing a ventilating system only
to neglect keeping it in operation is
criminal. No effective systom ever
devised for use In stnbles is automa
tic In adjustment to varying atmos
pheric conditions.
Rutherford CY1tt
Two systems are described here
with, the King and tho Rutherford.
Each is diametrically opposed to the
other in principle; yet, strange to
say, both work well.
This system requires that the air
enter at or near the floor level. The
best plan of bringing It in is probably
as shown on the left hand side in the
diagram, where the arrows Indicate
the entrance of the air and its pas
sage through A B C, under the all.
When the air current enters the sta
ble it has an upward direction, which
it retains In somo degree, but once
free from the confining passage It
spreads and takes usually the course
Indicated by a single headed arrow.
If for any reason It Is not consider
ed advisable to pass under the wall,
then an opening through the wall at
the level of (the floor will serve the
purpose. In such case It will, however,
be found necessary to so surround the
opening Into tin, stable as to give the
entering air current an upward tend
ency. Tho air current would then
follow the directions indicated by the
double headed arrow.
Like the system Just discussed, the
King system Is probably known to
many readers. It has many admirers,
and many have succeeded with It It
is most remarkable In this that the
foul air Is drawn from the floor and
the fresh air enters at the celling.
The advocates of the King systom
claim that since carbonic acid gas Is
the chief impurity in stables, and
since this gas Is heavier than pure
air, It 1b likely to be found In largest
quantities near the floor, and there
fore outlets for impure air should be
gin near the floor level.
In the cross section diagram the in.
let is Bhown by arrows running from
A to a The outlet begins at B, and
the foul air goes up the tube and out
at E. Both Inlets and outlets occur1
on each side, and should be at lnton
vals of about 10 feet, say three of
each on each side. Where this num.
ber occur, then each Inlet and each,
outlet should have a cross sectional
acrea of at least 60 square Inches,
say 4 by 15 Inches. Where It is la
tended to Install this system it
Bhould be provided for when building
the walls. Spaces between the studs
will serve for both Inlets and outlets.
The outlet B L E might be modified
to take the course B L M, in which
case it would brobably be necessary
to extend M above the level of the
apex of the roof. Openings should be
mode Into the outlets so that the
warm air at the celling may be al
lowed to escape when the average
stable temperature rises too high.
Plgt that Are In Demand.
The pig that will weigh from 200
to 325 pounds seems to cover the
greatest quantity for which the de

cheapest price, the one that can con
vert the largest amount of plant food

GET AFTER THE CODLING-MOTH.
This Pest Is the Greatest Enemy of
the Apple Grower.
The codling-moth will get your ap.
pies If you don't look out. This la
the greatest enemy of the apple, and
must be fought constantly to prevent
Its ravages.
Late in April or In early May the
cocoon opens and the caterpillar
emerges, transformed Into a pupa.
The pupa Is In a semldormnnt state
In which tho Insect has almost no
power of motion, but wonderful
changes are going on. About twenty
days later the pupa wriggles Itself
out of the cocoon, Its skin splits down
the middle of the back, and out
crawls the adult moth ready 'for
flight.
This moth Is rarely seen, because
It flies at night and during the day
romains motionless or hides under
the bark almost Invisible.
Its front wings have the nppear
ance of brown watered silk crossed by
numerous lines of gray and brown
scales something like the plumage of
a bird. On each front wing is a largo
dark-brown spot marked with streaks
of bronze or gold.
The moths begin to lay their eggs
at once. The egg upon a leaf or fruit
looks like a small white blister about
The Codling-Moth,
the size of a plnhead. They hatch in
about five to ten days. As soon as
the young worm crawls from the egg
it begins to feed upon the foliage -or
the young apples. Upon reaching the
nearest apples about three-fourths of
the worms enter them at the blos
som end. The rest of the worms en
ter the fruit through the side. The
worms often hollow out the seeds, its
work being Indicated by the well
known excreta thrown out at the
calyx, showing tho wormlness of the
apple.
In about a month It eats its way
out through the side of the apple .and
eecks a place In which to form a co
coon. The way to kill tho apple-worm is
to spray with arsenate of lead, Paris
green and Bordeaux mixture Just
after the blossoms drop, and again a
week later.

ly scraping the bark with a sharp hoe
so as to destroy the larva Is a great
aid to keeping this Insect under con
trol. In spraying It is very Important to
spray Just at the right time. At the
New Hampshire station It Is found
that best results are attained by
spraying with the fungicide May '30
and June 21.
Drill the Crops.
It is almost the universal testi
mony of experiment stations that
drilling In these crops and cultivating
gives best results. Of course, they
may be sown broadcast, or drilled la
with a grain drill like wheat but this
method requires at least a bushel of
seed to the acre. With pea seed in
the neighborhood of ?3 per bushel and
soys about $2, that makes expensive
seeding. Drilling them In rows from
thirty-two to thlrty-slx Inches apart,
and with peas or beans three or four
Inches apart In the row is about right
This may be done with a properly ad
justed corn planter or with a grain
drill that does not grind up the seed,
by stopping all the holes except those
required to put the rows at proper
distance. Epltomlst
Castor Beans Poisonous.
Beware of the castor oil bean. Every
year deaths are reported from eating
the beans, mostly by children. Many
people do not know that castor oil
beans contain an active poison called
rlcln, which produces an agonizing
death. Animals will not touch the
foliage, and it is believed that plant
ing the beans In the garden will drive
tbo moles away. Although tho plant
is a very showy one, It is not wise to
have them about one's house, because
the beautifully colored beans are
very attractive to tho little ones.
A man who has tried the experi
ment claims that it is very easy to
prevent potatoes from rotting by
placing in different parts of tho cel
lar In which they are kept a box con
taining a quantity of lump slack lime.
He states that this lime absorbs the
moisture which has such a detrimen
tal effect upon potatoes, and in his
cane has resulted in keeping his stock
of this commodity always in good
condition. The plan Is simple enobgh.
and is well worth a trial by- any
grocer who has had difficulty In keep
ing his potatoes in a damp cellar.

Correct Silting Posture Develops
The Figure Tim Proper Way to
Sit In a Chair and Its Practice
How to Prevent Wrinkles About
Warts Avoid Chemical Lotions.
The ungraceful way many women
sit is frequently the cause of ungain
ly figures, for unless the weight Is
properly poised the lower organs are
thrown out of gear and shapeliness
is Impossible.
To avoid ruining tho figure every
woman should regard her spine as an
upr'ght' post, tho shoulders being a
cross piece. And this structure she
must guard so It will not bend, and
as soon as a bend Is permitted tho
balance Is destroyed.
Sitting in a chair seems a simple
matter, yet rarely Is it done properly.
I do not now mean crossed feet and
other ungraceful positions, but 'the
fact that the spine is usually bent
Let the woman who is reading this
see, at the moment, if she cannot push
further back Into the seat not with
her shoulders, but so the end of her
spine is nearer tho chair back. If
she can accomplish this she will find
herself involuntarily sitting straight
er, because a kink has been removed
from her vertebrae.
In my opinion no one position does
more to make or present a good fig
ure than to practice correct sitting
for at least five minutes three times
a day. For this I would use a chair
with a straight hack and get on to it
leaning forward a little and pushing
back until the spine, about three
Inches from the tip, feels the chair
back. Then, with tho shoulders
thrown back, a position is attained
which is best for all proportions and
will soon be held unconsciously. When
this is accomplished the danger of
protruding abdomen and large hips is
greatly lessened.
Besides this straight spine move
ment chest expansion should be cul
tivated. This is difficult fcr an older
woman, yet worth any effort One
such exercise Is to try repeatedly to
make the elbows touch each other
behind the back.
The longer one tries and the more
strength put Into the muscular exer
tion the better will 'the figure be
come. Incidentally, one must tako
care to stand straight while exercis
ing In this way, or she will simply In
crease any "stooped shoulders."
Another good and by no means diffi
cult movement Is to straighten tho
arms out at tho sides and, without
bending the elbows, put them back
as far as they can be made to go.
Deep breathing has much to do with
having a good figure. If the chest Is
flat and contracted, as must bo If tho
lungs are not filled, a woman cannot
make a good appearance.
It Is astonishing that, with wearing
very tight stays, the dlaphram may be
expanded when the lungs are filled to
the lowest depth. That Is, in spite of
lacing, there Is still room for the
lungs to be Inflated. To breathe deep
ly does not mean a large waist line,
and such practice may reduce the hip
measure. The lower lungs cannot bo
Inflated unless one Is standing cor
rectly. I think that each night before go
ing to bed a woman should try to
touch the floor with her finger tips
without bending the knees. If she
can accomplish this the exercise will
keep her supple and If she cannot do
It sho certainly needs practice. For
this movement the hands are held
high above the head and brought down
with a sweeping motion while the
knees are kept stiff. Should they
bend there Is no benefit to be derived.
By their remaining rigid pull is made
from the waist and hips and long and
constant practice will reduce tho
measurement there. The work must
never be done while wearing tight
bands. Margaret Mlxter.
To Prevent Wrinkles.
A French beauty of mature age
claims that wrinkles can be prevented
for many years by washing with
barley water night and morning. It Is
made as follows: Boll three ounces
of pearl barley In a pint of water, un
til the gluten Is extracted; strain and
add 25 drops of tincture of benzoin. If
wrinkles have already appeared and
are not too deep this, pomade, applied
every other night, will Improve them:
Hebe Pomade. Juice of Illy bulbs,
60 grams; Honey, 15 grams; White
wax, 30 grams; Rose water, 12 grams.
Melt the wax and honey together;
add the lily Juice to the rose water,
and stir slowly into the honey and
wax.
Note that the above calls for grams
and not grains.
Massage and Wrinkles.
Massage has often created wrinkles
where they did not at all exist on ac
count of being Incorrectly applied,
but It has more often helped to make
them vanish, when used with a good,
nourishing cream, provided it is ap
plied crosswise, and not up and down
in the wrinkles, moving the fingers in
the opposite directions from that in
which the wrinkles run.
To Be 8hunned.
Lotions containing borax, benzoin,
alcohol or any kind of astringents
must be shunned absolutely by the
woman of delicate complexion, but
are quite permissible for those with
oily, coarser skin. Steamjng or eppli
cations of water heated to the boiling
point are also among the "don'ta" for
tender, dry skins, making them look
Ilka parchment dried out and sallow.
Life's Adjusting Power.
Life seems to have a sort of adjust
ing power. We always suffor one way
or another for the wrong we do, and
unquestionably wo are always reward
ed for tho food actions. There is no
happiness in revenge, no Joy in hatred,
no Inspiration In Jealousy and mean
ness. It lo when we have come to a
quiet understanding of the 111-effecta
of our baser sentiments that wo be
come refined and grow into better,
moro wholesome conditions. It ia
usually tho one who runs away from
tho fight who is the stronger. Punish
ment will bo meted out to your ene
my; it isn't for you to Judge and con
vict. All those matters are taken
care of Just how we do not know,
and after all, it does not matter.
8ame Old Style of Cooking.
Frpf. Snoggs Strange there's been
no Improvement made in cooking in
the last 2000 years. Now, down at
my boarding' houBo this morning I had
a steak broiled In the regular Pompei
an style.
Boggs Pompelan Btylo? How do

Prof. Snaggs Why, scorched to a
cinder on one side and covered with

A 8lgnal.
In Sumatra, if a woman Is left a
widow, immediately after her hus
band's death she plants a flagstaff at
her door, upon which a flag is raised.
So long as the flag remains untorn
by the wind the etiquette of Suma
tra forbids her to marry, but at the
first rent however tiny, she can lay
aside her weeds and accept the first
offer she has.
