A mother who îas had great suc-cess in bringing up her little girlson self-help principle^ jsa.ys that_shehas always found that playing at be-ing grown up encourages her chil-dren to be resourceful and Independ-ent. -s

To .help them she gives her little •girls In their bedrooms miniature fur-

jnlture. The chest of drawers are nottoo high for the child to reach to thetopmost one, and the little one Istaught to put her clothes away neatlyin them-and to "play" tiver the procêss.

The washstand is low enough to bepractical Instead of uninteresting andalarmingly high, inviting accidentsand causing nervous children not touse It for fear of spilling the water,and the hanging wardrobe' has hooksthat even the shortest of the six-year-old possessors can reach. Minia-ture furniture of this kind gives thechild a sense of-responsibility in themost delightful manner possible.

It is essential that a child's bed-room -should^ be as light and airy aspossible, and if a white enameled suitof furniture be given to the little girlof fastidious tastes she will take apleasure in keeping it clean andshould be taught to dust her own lit-tle belongings and thus to save otherstrouble and to lay the foundation forfuture clever housewifery.

A Closely Guarded Secre. Only One Man, Knows How the

Wonderful Swedish Gauges areMade. .

In -a closely guarded room of asmalt shop in an obscure Swedish,vilage a man toils in secret, says awriter In Cassier's Magazine. Justhow he accomplishes what he does ncone knows, not even his sons whowork with him;

Johannson has made the world-beaa--rpjLtii.to his' door, for he has dis-covered the secret ot making a mor<accurate limit gauge than any pr«vlously In uEe". A single set of hisgauges-giver a--practically unlimiteaeries of sliies rising by steps of a ten-thousandth of an inch4-much 16ss thanthe. traditional ° hair's breadth—totwenty-six inches. It is said that 80,-000 combinations of these gauges-possible.'

No dimension within their, limitshas been cited that they failed to re-produce. Extreme âccuracy in build-Ing machinery, particularly that o:motor cars, is of the greatest impor-tance and the first step toward thaend is the perfection of a standard.Making such standards is a tediousand expensive process. But Joh'ann-son has not found it so; or else hevalues his; secret flgutty from the pe-cuniary point of view,-for'be is ableto pay Uncle Sam a duty of 45~percent, and still offer his gauges in th.American market for a few hundred

sr?" | dollars, although they could not bmade here for many times their price

When two of these Swedish gaugesare "wiped".together so as to excludethe air from between them they ad-here with a pressure which" expertinent has shown to exceed: thirtypoilndf loathe square inch. Twenty ormore pieces may be thus wiped to-gether and BuppdrtedrlrorizQntally; bymerely holding the Jast one, whichmeans that the .accuracy of their var-ious surfaces Is almost absolute.

.Finishing one surface or two .sur-faces to a very close limit by lapping—rubbing together with' a fine abra-sive between—is a comparatively simpie .matter. But achieving such per-fect parallelism as IB shown by theseremarkable gauges is quite anotherthing, a secret Quite well worthknowing.

The peculiarity about^ this mysteri-ously powerful adhesion of :the sep-arate pieces .is that the. feel of thebuilt' up gauge thus formed is exactlythe same as that of a single piece ofmetal, and this holds for any com-bination, the number of pieces forming It not affecting the sensation inthe slightest. Any skilled mechanicwill understand Instinctively themeaning of this and its testimony tothe accuracy of the gauges.

For Instance, a 1 inch gauge maybe built up of pieces representing0.5 plu 0.2 iTTus 0.6 plus .150 plus0.1 Inch, and the resulting'piece willbe 1 Inch, abuohite. Or any one ofseveral1 other combinations may bemade to represent an inch, and blind-folded the moat expect mechanicI'ould not detect any difference be-tween tho manner In which this com-posite Inch gauge and the one pieceInch gauge tilted in a snap gauge ofthe name »(ze It would be an easymatter to ronfuBa-tho two In hand-ling.

Champion Apple Grower \

Mrs.; Ella D. RowlandNorth Yakima, Wash., (Special)—

"Other people0 could have as goodluck-as I, for the soil is .here, thecondltionaâre right,- and the YakimaValley country Is the greatest in theworld to raise not only fruit of allkinds, but other farm products areobtainable in . abundance and' areraised with very little effort."

This statement was made by Mrs.Ella £>. Rowland, of the Zlllah sec-tion of the Yakima Valley, who, onNovember 4, at the New York LandShow,/ was awarded the first prize—$500 In gold—for the best twenty-nyebox apple display and variety grownanywhere. Mrs. Rowland's apples—Wlnesaps scored 982 5-6 points out ofa possible 1000. While her exhibitcompeted with not only the finestsamples from all other districts of theYakima Fruit Valley, there were sam-ples of the best prbdiicod In manyother sections of the country,—thuswithout a doubt, the Rowland Wine-saps proved to be tho equal of anygrown anywhere—a fact, which theYakima Valley had always claimed—and aa a clincher of the fact It maybo stated that at tho New York Show,Ilobt. Johneton, ot Frultvale, anotherImportant part of the great YakimaValley, Bcored second. w|th 978.7points, making tho content betweenYakima Valloy fruit raisers thefeature of that gront Bhbw.

This particular orchard which pro-duced the prize winners, IB ten' yearsold—was set ou't in 1901-2. It islocated two miles northwest of Zll-lah and eighteen milerj south o.'North Yakima, which .city Is the cen-ter of the great Yakima Valley.

"I expect to realize between $220t)and $2500 this year on apples/romthis ten-acre orchard. The best yearwe ever had was In 1909 when werealized $2.35 a. box and bad a largeyield. Of course everybody knowsthat the season Just closed was off forapples, but wo had a fine, large crop,our orchards yielding other varietiesthan the Wlnesaps. While I havenever Bet a price on the orchard land,I am told by nearby apple ranch menthat It la worth from »1200 to $1500an acre. In tho orchard producingthe prize winning Wlnesaps there areabout C75 trees, eighty per cent ofwhich are WlneaapB and tha remain-der mixed varieties," concluded MrsRowland.

To show the adaptability of the soil,It may be otatod that Mrs. Rowlandrained other cropa BucceaBfullypotatoes grow large and p l e n t i f u l , - U Hdid grap«B, melons, corn,' etc.

Great Is Blackberry Jam"Tell you how one glass ot black-

borry Jam transformed our neighbor-hood?" said the young country, wo^man, repeating the reporter's ques-tion.

"W<ill, when brother went into bus-i ness In the. city, leaving Bister andme on the farm', we used to send hima box of homemade goodies everyonce In a while. Blackberry jam hadalways been bis favorite sweet, so ofcburse we sent-him a. few glasses ofit in every box. He gave a glass to afriend. The very next day the friendcame back,-said his wife wanted toknow where she could get more ofthat jam. • .

"That gave my brother an idea andhe took a glass to the "manager of a ,-flrst-class grocery store" He opened ~the glass in the manager's presenceand let him taste It, -----

" 'Fine,' said the manager, 'Wheredid you get it?'" , ; .

"When-my brother explained that~we still lived on the farm and all ourjam was like that particular;-glass the -manager said he would bei'glad'to setflvc hundred glasses. Ho stipulatedthat it must be put up in clear glassjars, with tin tops and neatly labelled.,My brother telephoned tho jar fac-tory,^ got figures for the jars, thenfound out what the labels would costHis -next step was writing us, tellingof the groceryman's "offer, and thecp.gL.of. .the jars and labels. He askedus if we could do it, make five hun-dred glasses of blackberry jam on ourold stove. ' . . : ' , .

"It did seem a bit appalling whenwe" first read his letter. I recall thatmy sister and.I. b'oth sat down andstared at each other without saying a\vord. Then my sister bounced up andrunning into the kitchen began toshake down the coals in the stove. Wenot only could do it, she said,-lMj|; wewould begin at once. We had a smallquantity of blackberries in the houseand she began at once to get themready, while I was sent to the twostores In the village to get all that Icould find. We kept at it, my sisterand I, until those^flve hundred, glasseswere filled, labelled and shipped.Then we sat down again and lookedat each other. The old stove had stoodby us -and 'we had dono it all withouthired help.• "The second season that grocery-man told my brother he must -havefive hundred dozen to begin the sea-son with, BO as not to disappoint reg-ular.customer!). My brother wrote usto get to work, call In hlredrheip, get "certain neighbors to come and helpus. Instead of getting hired help inmaking the jam we engaged 'thesecertaln~nelghbors to make jam for us.Then we stirred it all together, sothat all jam going out under our labelwould have the same flavor, put It injars, labelled It and shipped It fromour,house. Of course we selected onlythose neighbors who were careful and.to be relied on. Not only has Our lit-tle business of making Jam given thewomen of the- neighborhood a meansof earning money, but it has helpedmany of the smaller farmers. We takeall tho blackberries they can supplyus wlth."

The Night Before Christinas.REVISED VERSION

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all in the shop,Not a salesgirl nor wrapper bu.t thought she would drop;The cash children rushed with the money, with careIn fear lest the floorwalker soon would be there.With wan faces strained, hither, thither they fled,While x'isions of reprimands flushed through each head, 0At an hour when rich children were tied in ni^ht caps,And settling themselves for their long winter naps.From tables and counter^ arose such a clatterSome terrible tragedy must hu the matter;The lights from the shining bulbs, white in their glow,Cave lustre- of mid-day to objects below.A salesgirl was sel l ing nm; i l l K"'S- Like a f.ashShe tore open boxes and counted out cash,

A Bold Confession."She |g even now dead, but come

There is a hand, in this world thatcan stay death. That Is the confes-sion. God has not forsaken His peo-ple. God Is visiting Hla people. Faithholds this life close to God. Eventhe death-cloud must be God's pillarIn the sky showing His guiding pres-ence In our desert.

The way is different when the Lordjourneys with ua. That return pathon which Jairus walked with Jesuswas not the name as when he wentto find Him. God gave Ills Son, andall the world is different now; "thatwhosoever believes on Him might notperish but have everlasting life."That applies to Jalrua and hla littlemaiden.

Jesus said, "I, If I be lifted up fromthe earth will draw all men unto Me."He began to draw men as soon, as Hewas born, and In His later life He wasall the time drawing true men to Him,but it was only by submitting to cru-cifixion that He made of Himself amagnet to attract human souls In allcountries and In all ages.

THE FRIEND 0F THEPRISONERS

A little white pigeon named "Tramp"Is the friend "of the prisoner I amgoing to tell you about. This poor«nan has been shut up In prison for along,' long time. Away from all hisfriends who live in the big .worldoutside, away fro"m father and moth-er, slaters and brothers, he'was alone

• until, little "Tramp" came.This was on a cold, wet morning,

When the rain^wasjieatlng down, andUakihg the great gray building "seemcolder and gloomier than ever. Ourprisoner was running across the court

/ yard of the prison, when a little bird,very wet and dirty, flew over the highstone wall and fell fluttering to theground almost at his feet. There helay, with the rain beating on him, tootired and exhausted to move.

The prisoner stooped down and verygently raised the little bird In hishands. Then, putting him Inside his

"coatv-he carried-him to his cell.How limp and .cold he was! Forsome time he lay so still that theDoor man began to fear he was dead;biit presently, to his great Joy, thelittle eyes opened, birdie lifted hishead and soon was eating the crumbsof bread that, had been put beforehim. The prisoner made a warm bedtor the little bird to sleep In thatnight, and In the morning • he wasquite well and~hTfppy~agaln—He-flewround his friend's bead and perchedon his shoulder, and cooed to showhow_jgrateful he was. The poor pris-oner began to feel quite happy as he•watched him. . "I must give him a

;vfeame," he said to himself; "I think-'' 'Tramp' would suit, seeing he came

to me so homeless and dirty ."""-Anil"Tramp" it: was.-^ -•> . (

The days went by. "Tramp" cheeredhis master very much. He shared hismeals,'slept at the head of his bed atnight, and made him feel that at last

-îe;had a friend. And so a monthwent by.

And then—and then, "Tramp" be-gan to fret. He wanted-1 to be In theopen air, where he could spread hiswlnga.-and fly where he liked. Insteadof flying about the cell and cooing hesat. all day at the window, lookingsadly out at the sky. Day after dayhe sat there fretting, and his masterknew "he would-have to give up hislittle friend or he would die. AndBO one morning ho made up his mindto set "Tramp" free.

Smoothing tho pretty white feath-ers for the last time, the poor manopened his window and gently pushed

,.','T.ramp" through the Iron bars Intothe free open air. Ho watched hlni

'spread his wings and fly nway—awayuntil he looked just a xpock In theblue sky. And then ho turned awaysaying, oh, BO sadly. "Qood-by'Tramp!' I don't think you will overwant to come to this placo again."

But what do you think! Oho darkmoYnlnK. when tho prisoner was potting up from his hard bed, ho honn!a gentle tap at his window, nnd whenho opened it there was his little friend"Tramp" cuddled In betwcon tho Ironbarn nnd tho window pano—"Tramp."whom ho hnd thought was gono forever.

"Why, 'Trnmp,' linvo you comn backafter nil?" ho said Joyful ly, and th«'little bird flow round MB head andperched on his nhouldor -,nnd did nl"he could to show he had not forgotteihis kind master.

THOUGHTS MAKE CHARACTER.

Paul frequently emphasizes- the lw-ortahce of our thoughts as the real

.asls of our character. :. And in do-ng so he follows, as usual, the teach-;ig of Christ: who ,sald, "Out of thebundauce of the heart the mouthpeak'eth. And I say unto you, that•very Idle -word that men shall speak,hey shall give account thereof in theay of Judgment." (Matt. 12: 34-36,)lolomon gave expression to the sameruth 'when he said, "As he thinketh:n' his heart, so is he." And beforeIs day Samuel had said, "The Lordeeth not as man seeth; for manooketh- on the outward appearance,iut the_Lord J.ooketh on .the heart."See Prov. 23: 7 and I ;Sam. 16:_ 7.)

Our real character is never ,ex-.ctly that which appears on the sur-face of our lives, and very few per-ons know- themselves well enough

:o "know what their real characters. We are all too apt to Judge our-elves by what we think we wouldIke to be and by comparing our lives

with the lives of other people.We find ourselves free from faults

:o which others are addicted, andgive ourselves credit for goodness onhat account, without taking specialnote of our own faults which may beif a very different character and' mayieem to us to be very _smaH faults

because we like them.Or, perhaps, we take pleasure in

thinking of all the good- things wewould do_wlth money, or with power,or with great ability,,if we possessedany of these gifts, and w^glye our-selves * credit for a generosity and"nobility, of .character which la alto-;ether Imaginary. If It was real we

should, try to find out what good wecan do with such resources and op-portunities as we can command, how-ever small these may be, instead of.wasting thought on what we wouldIke to do, If—.

Our true character is shown by thecharacter of our thoughts. If ourthoughts are frivolous, or useless,;hen to that extent we are frivolousand. inefficient persons. The mindloses Its grip If It Is allowed to wan-der aimlessly, like a butterfly fromflower to flower, ;

If our thoughts are vain, we shallbecome more vain; if they are sel-fish, we shall become more selfish;f they are ambitious, we shall be-

come more ambitious; If we allowany Impurity .to find a welcome In ourthoughts, wer shall become impure.

There may. not yet be any outwardIndication of the character which wearo making for ourselves by ourthoughts.-,_but It will certainly workItself out in time if we continue tocherish the thoughts.

Paul's rule for Correcting our badhabitB of thought Is to bring "everythought into captivity to the obedi-ence of Christ." (II Cor. 10: 5.) ThatIs much more easily said than done,but It IB a goal toward which weshould be always striving.

Tho difference between the trueChristian find the man of the worldIH not that one Is a saint and thoother a^Blnner, as men Judge of saintsnnd sinners. Tho man of the worldmay be, and sometimes IB, a bettorman from every point of view fromwhich the world Is able to judgehim than nomp very real Christians.Hut whllo the. true Christian may bovory weak-wlllod and 'may bo unabloto overcome bar hablta because hoIIUB not Bufflclent force of characteror sufficient! faith to overcome, ho lanovorthoJoBB always striving to over-come; always pained by his falls andpenltejit hccauno of them, and alwaystrying to got nonror to Christ, that homay fitiln power to ovorcome, Thogood man of tho world IB fnlrly wolltmtlHlled with hlinnolf nnd dooB notfool nny Bpeclul need of holp fromChrlHt , but iieln his ambition on thoihl i iKn ot t h i n life.

:AISING THE DAUGHTER OFJAIRUS AND HEALING THE_ SICK WOMAN BV

THE WAY. „

We have two miracles of the Lord'slplng mercy beautifully combined.

he second is a wayside Interruptionf the first, but at the same time ach encouragement and help to therat: The Lord's way is all In wpn-lers. His paths drop loving-kindness.

A Strong Father In His GreatestStrength. . .

Jairus sees that his twelve-year-oldlaughter Is dying. What can he do?ilan's power Is vain. He can secure

greater power than man's. He will.t Is hard to turn from that bedside,>ut he rushes out. He finds, Jesus of,Nazareth, who has come to Caper-aum. He knows Him. He falls downefore Him In heart-broken prayer.

What Is the grandest strength inmanl It Is the Intercessory, prayerthat brings the strength of God.

sons, not With things. Superstitioustrust In magic is the Idolatry of faith.The .means we use under God's ap-pointment are used In faith in Him.The power pE the BlbloTs^noTTiFthirBook, but in theL Lord who gives Itand Imparts Himself In It. Tho, powerin the Churcn is .not in tho institu-tion, but In the Lord, who la Itshead and all-animating life. The pow-er in the sacraments is not in themeans, but in the Lord who promisesand imparts His grace through themeans.

The woman was healed.- That delaywas an assurance to Jairus. TheLord who works miracles of compas-sion by the way will not fall to showDivine help when He- reaches thehome, ..'. ,

"Give place, for the maid Its not dead,but sleepeth." And they laughed Him

--- ___ was dead, .beyond thewaking of her 'father's call or hermother's kiss, beyond the rousing ofthe hired mounters with their, sense-less walling and noisy lament. Letall give place. There Is another -voicehere that can reach the deeper con-sciousness.* To Him, she is not dead,but sleej>eth^

to scorn.The maid

Its the lore that lifts a dear one out'

deathûp^tc^-.the. throne of God.His child Is dying. The home will be

mpty. Tbve whole world"will 'l>e emp-,y. How/can people laugh? His childIs-dying;—p-the-horror-of-ove&shad=_!•wing death! Shall we surrender? Isleath king? ,.God ,1s with us. Hisame Is Emmanuel. He Is merciful,nd mighty.

The man who humbly prays In lov-ng faith to Christ fne Saviour Isitrong in, a higher strength than' na-:uro knows.Troubles Are Not Evils lf,,They Lead

to God.We do not hear that Jairus came

0 Jesus before this crushing sorrowoverwhelmed him. But th'e Lord .does-]tot turn from him. His command Is,Call upon me In the day of trouble"

—even If we v have never learned to:all upon Him before. His mercy Isabove measure. -"Man's extremity be-comes God's opportunity." He Is the,'Man of Sorrows" and His sphere onearth is In the field of. grief. Thesorrow that brings a man to Christin true prayer and simple faith willsoon bear another name. "Your^ sor-row shall be .turned into Joy.". Thats the promise, and It has a wtde

application. Men go down deep intohe caverns of darkness and stifling

heat, but they gather gold there.God's mines are deep, but they arealso rich.

A Bold Confession."She is even now dead, but come

nnd lay Thy hand upon her and shoshall Hye."

There is u hand in this World that'an stay death. That is the confes-

sion. God thas not forsaken His peo-ple. God Is visiting. His people. Faithholds this life close to God. Eventhe. death-cloud must be God's pillarn the sky showing His guiding pres-

ence In our desert,The way Is different when the Lord

journeys with us. That return pathon which Jairus walked with Jesuswas not the same us when ho wontto IInd Him. God gave His Son, nndnil the world IB different now; "thatwhosoever believes on Him might notperish but linvo everlasting life."That applies to Julrim nnd his llttlomnldoii.

Is death a sleep?t Yes, in one sense.It is falling Into the unconsciousnessof things temporal, - burdens, pains,cares,, fears and struggles. In thatsense, death Is sleep.

AH HUMBLE f OMAN I- OFÂMARIA-. ' • •

Hy horses were sick, and the wagonconsequently "hors de combat." Sowith valise bulging with Bibles, Tes-taments and other good things, inone hand, and a stout willow dqingdouble duty as staff to comfort or tokill rattlesnakes, In the other, I setout "with face to tho sun and feetto the sand," upon one of those wagontracks In the sage brush, which theWyoming pioneer has the audacity todesignate a "road."

Only those who have spent the dayon these roads under the pitilesssummer sun, with the heavens asbrags above - and the earth devoid, ofBny. sympathetic green beneath, canknow what they are. They recallPope's description of Virgil's hexame-ter verse: "Which Mke^ a woundedsnake drags Its slow length along."

This particular road wriggled outof Thermopolls toward Worland andtook me by severaUranches that fond-ly -hug the bank of the Big Horn.Into one of. these "I entered. A logshack of unromantic appearance, with

lltsZjcear burled In a low bluff, androofed with dirt on which a few half-starved Riissian thistles struggled forlife, stood Just Inside a broken-down

-barbed—wlre-fence^^Xwo-smalL win-dows blinked like fierce little eyesfrom Its dirty face, and a grimy, un-painted door discouraged intrusion.

An unhappy looking, English bull-dog, anxious to argue matters, stoodwith his legs like an inverted lyreright across the plank that led totie door. I addressed him In aflec;

tlonate terms. He replied by a sig-nificant lifting of the corner of hisupper lips, which showed he was su-perior to flattery. ' I offered him apiece of sandwich, but he was notsufficiently Americanized to accept abribe. Just as I was coming to theconclusion that discretion might bethe better part of valor -a voice thatsounded like the -tearing of muslinscreeched from within:

"Shut up, youiûgly devil; or I'llskin yon alive."

The household pet, recognizing thevoice and, the term of endearmentwith which he was addressed, andwishing to retain his cuticle, resignedthe plank and I knocked at the door.

The tearing "muslin screeched:"Come in!"\ entered, swinging in a rocking

chair and chewing gum was a womanwith a hard face. She glared at mefor a moment from steel eyes7

"Good morning," I ventured."Howdy." She continued to swing

In her-chair,. Then after a moment:"Whatcher got In yer grip? Hairdye?" and she grinned at her ques-tion.

"Do I look like a canvasser?"Another piercer from tho steel eyes.

"No, Your dial looks too straight.""Thank you. Let me show you the

contents of my Krttr.""Sure. Dig 'em out."The grip lay open on tho floor be-

tween us, and Bibles and Testamentswere .silently and unceremoniouslyhandled. The Nelson "Pocket Testa-ment" took hcr fancy1 arid sho fondlyfingered It a few seconds.

"What cute llttlo books.'""How long since you read nny of

that book?" I ventured."Mover. I wnn raised a Cnthollc,

and wo never road na nibleB.""liaised a Cnthollc?" I repeated.

i n ' m y voice as a-prayer was in mfaoul. - _ .

"The sacrifices of God are a brokenspirit, a broken and a contrite heart,O God, tliou wilt not despise."

I Htoppcd. and there was a momentof Intense silence,

'"Ged! but that's'dandy. Who writthem words?"

"There's- a story in your little Tes-tament I would like to read to you,May I?"

" "Yep." And she dropped Into therocker.

I turned to the story of Sychar'swoman who had had five husbands, _and saw as I read "that I was holdinga mirror before a woman's soul. - I-closed the book and looked herstraight in the face. I saw there thatthe psyscholbgical ~monient~had~conTefor a frank' question. I asked it.

"Excuse me, but Is the gentlemanwhom you referred as 'the boss' and'the old man' your husband?"

The head dropped low, and her Bl-lence was her answer. A .tear trickled J

down the down-turned face and drop-"pe'd on the fifty-first psalm In herlap.. We said nothing for three min-utes. He who sat on the well wastelling her all things that ever she.,did and I dared hot "interrupt. Atlast I broke the silence. ;

"Do you ever pray?""Ain't said a prayer since I was a

kid and used to say 'Holy Mary,Mother o' God, pray for UB."

"Shall I pray?""Don't keer If y' do."

. With a full heart I lifted my soulto Him whose needs took Him"through Samaria," and sent methrough Wyoming.

I took her hand and looking intoher face saw- a transformation. Thesteel eyes were soft and glistenedwith the unshed tears1 of a convictedsoul, and gum-chewing ferocity wasgone. ' -

"Jesus is the same to-day as then.He will release your soul as He didhers, and will give you peace as Hegave It to her * • • Do let him* • • Do let Him * • • Willyou?" . . , . . - .

"I think I will." She glanced attho clock. "Gee! It's 'levin o'clocknnd no spuds peeled. How that Ol<man will cuss!"

I gathered the books Into the gripand offered my hand again.

"Good-bye.""Good-bye; nnd, say, ef you come
