There is a story of an old colored minister, which I am fond of telling, that Illustrates what I mean. The old fellow was trying to explain to a Sun day school class how it was and why It was that Pharoah and his party were drowned when they were trying to cross the Red sea, and how It was and why it was that the Children of Israel crossed over dry shod. The old minister explained it in this wise: "When the first party came along it was early in the morning and the ice was hard and thick, and the first party had no trouble crossing over on the Ice, but when Pharoah and his party came along it was 12 o'clock in tho day and the sun was shining hot on the ice, and when they got on the ice it broke, and they went in and were drowned." Now, there happened to ho ir this class a young colored man who had had considerable schooling, and this young fellow turned to the old mini tetr and said: "Now, Mr. Minister, I do not under stand that kind of explanation. I have been going to school and have been studying all these conditions, and my geography teaches me that ice does not freeze within a certain distance of the equator." , The old minister replied: "Now, I'se been expecting something just like this. There's always some fellow ready to spile all the theology. The time I'se talkin about was before they had Jogerphies or 'quators either." Now, this old man, in his plain and simple way was trying to brush aside all artificiality and to get down to bed rock. So it was with me. Booker T. Washington, in World's Work Maga zine.

Specialized Farming. Miss Jessie Nicholson inherited a farm of 225 acres in New Jersey, which her father had farmed in the old way. When she took it she re alised that the new way to do things is to specialize, so she began to do this on the farm. She raises Canada Geld peas, her own hay and makes a . silo, sells chlokens and milk, and that is all. There are 100 cows and she puts avsy $3,000 each year.

Tho physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analy sis of the patient's urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing theii work properly, the other organs eanno) be brought back to health and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics, Bright 's disease which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 1901), in the state of New York alone. Therefore, it behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most important organs. An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Rem edy. The mild and healing infffvonee of this preparation is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of eure3.

Said one of tfcem, In reference to an absent friend: "Her hats certainly are stunning and she trims all of them herself." Said an other: "I hope she may never nava such an experience as I had recently. My sense of humor enabled me to live through it, but I'd not like to see any one else have it I, also, trim my own hats. "This fal! I designed one that J thought was about the mo6t effective I ever had, though it was extremely simple. It consisted only of a feath er and a twist of velvet around the crown of a big, stylish shape. The first time I wore it was to church. I felt gratified to think that the eyes of the whole "ongregation were rest ing, at one time or another, on that hat, because the style was one ta challenge attention and nobody could avoid seeing it That is, nobody within a radius of a mile or so. When I returned home and removed the hat there was a large white ticket dang ling from almost the tip of the feath er, and on it was marked In large fig ures "35c." The ticket had been cun ningly concealed underneath the feather, so that all the time I waa trimming the hat I never had seen it, but wearing the hat had Jarred tha ticket into sight. I had picked up the feather at a bargain counter. It was a showy one and really looked as U it might have cost two or three dol lars. Of course, I had the pleasure ol knowing that tho whole congregation had read the price." Pettit's Eye Salve for 25c.
