THE Q08PEL OF PROGRESS.
(By ARCUDIBIIOP JOHN 1HEL.AND.)
"IU constructlvo ideas (tho initio's) I
aro as far abovo thoBe of tlio other
books of religion aa tlio lieavens'aro
abovo tho earth." Washington Gtad
don. Tho dlvino purposo In tho creation
and tho preservation of tho universe
Is man. Wo be-
como God-llko In
act when wo work
for man. God, In
deed, must ever
bo tho supremo
end of our willing
and our doing. Di
rect homage Is
duo to tho ma
jesty of God, and
this homage God
demands from us.
But ho demands
also that wo for
his sake servo our
fellow-men, and
tho nrst com-'
mandment of tho i
law makes re-1
Hglon to consist
in tho servlco of God and In the serv-
Ico of man. Christianity, the historic
manifestation of tho Eternal Mind,
makes work far humanity a fundamen
tal prlnclplo of religion. "Amen, amen,
I say to you: as long as you did it to
ono of theso my least brothron, you
did it to me."
And working for man is not the
i hopeless task that pessimists proclaim
it to bo. Progress is tho law of God's
I creation. Tho Creator has bestowed
upon us faculties capable of expan-
; slon and it Is His will that wo sum
mon into action their latent forces.
He has subjected to us tho earth, and
it Is His will that we take possession
ol u, uuu UHbcri uur uuimiiiuu uvut
its every part. Powers that lie dor
mant find no favor In tho eyes of
God. Progress Is tho continuity of
creation; to arrest It, through malice
or indolenco, is a crime "against Cre
ator and creature. Christ's gospel Is
a gospel of progress. It announces
that all things should bo put to profit
and mado to increase; tho talent that
is wrapped in a napkin but draws
down upon Its possessor the Master's
ire.
History Is witness that under
Christ's touch humanity was Impelled
into moral and spiritual progress
with such might that centuries do not
still tho sublime vibration. Tho pes
j slmlst who stands Idly by uttering
words of discouragement, does not
read nature's lesson in tho brightness
of tho morning sun, and in the rich
ness of tho autumn fruitage; nor does
he read in his Bible the divine lesson
of mercy and grace. There will al
ways bo sin and suffering, misery and
death. But evil may bo lessened,
and good may be Increased, and this
Is progress. I shall never believe that
EdT necessarily yield to evil
and I shall never cease to put my hopo
in tho divinely ordered progress of
humanity.

"When I ran across something In the
poets that most deeply Impressed me,
I have laid down the book and said:
Now, whero have I seen that In the
Blblo?" Robert J. Burdette.
Tho Blblo has ennobled every lan
guago into which It haB been trans
lated. Its thoughts aro so lofty that
tho moment they aro embodied in
human speech, whatever that speech
may be, It is exalted, and glorified.
When It camo Into tho Greek and Latin
' languages It largely regenerated oven
character.
It has often given tho Idea of tho
characters which aro tho subjects of
many books. In this way, wo aro In

Scott's "Ivanhoo," Mrs. Stowo's
"Undo Tom's Cabin," and for many
characters In Georgo Eliot, In Tenny

at tho tract, and then, looking up bo-

This suggestlvo thought could bo

THE EMPLOYE'S DUE.
(By His Kmlncnco JAMKS, CARDINAL
GIBBONS.)
"The modern democratic spirit came
from tho Blblo. The popular Institu
tions of today can bo seen ns develop
ments of early Hebrew Institutions."
William P. Merrill, D. D.
Tho Redeemer of mankind never
conforrod a groater temporal blessing
on tho human
raco than by on
nobllng and sanc
tifying labor, nnd
by rescuing It
from tho stigma
0 f degradation
that had been
branded upon It.
1 cannot concelvo
any thought bet
ter calculated to
cciso tho yoke and
to lighten tho bur
den of tho Chris
tian toller than
tho reflection that
the highest typo
of manhood vol
untarily devoted
himself to manual
labor, his boyhoqd and early man
hood being spent in a mechanic's
shop; "Is not this tho carpenter, tho
Son of Mary?"
Labor has Its sacred rights as well
as its dignity. Paramount among tho
rights of the' laboring classes is their
privilege to organize for their mutual
protection and benefit. It Is In ac
cordance with natural right that thoso
who havo ono common Interest should
unite for its promotion. It is as un
just to deny to worklngraen tho right
to band together because of tho
abuses incident to such combinations,
as to withhold tho samo right from
capitalists because they sometimes un
warrantably seek to crush or absorb
weaker rivals.
That "the laborer Is worthy of his
hlro" is tho teaching of Christ bb well
as the dlctato of reason. Ho deserves
something more, nnd that Is kind and
considerate treatment. There would
bo less ground for complaint against
employers if they kept in vlow tho
golden maxim of the gospel: "What
soever yo would that men should do
unto you, do ye also to them." Our
sympathies for thoso in our employ,
whether in tho household, tho mines,
or the factory, are wonderfully quick
ened by putting ourselves In tholr
place and asking ourselves how wo
would wish to be treated under sim
ilar circumstances.
Thero Is no enjoyment in life Sv
pure and so substantial as that which
springs from tho reflection that others
are mado content and happy by our
benevolence. And I am speaking hero
not of tho benovolenco of gratuitous
bounty, but of fair-dealing tempored
with benignity. Considerate Kind
ness is like her Bister Mercy:
"It droppeth as the gentle rain from
heaven
Upon the ploco beneath; It Is twlco
bless'd.
It bleBseth him that Rives, and him that
takes;
Tls mightiest In tho mightiest! It be
comes The throned monarch better than hl
crown."
Good Joke on Sothern. (
Mr. Samuel Sothern, tho English
actor, says the worst moment of his
stage career was passed In a state of
mental paralysis owing to a trick
played on him by another actor. This
actor, who had a passion for practical
Joking, and Mr. Sothern wero appear
ing in tho samo play. It was a senti
mental comedy In which Mr. Sothern
had to make a long and effective speech
with the Btage all to himself. Tho prac
tical Joker got an alarm clock, timed
tho alarm very carefully, and" set it up
on a sideboard upon tho stage. "At tho
very moment I oponod my mouth to
declaim," Mr. Sothorn says, "It went
off. I stood before tho footlights lit
erally gaping, whilst tho blatant boll
rang and thrummed and clattered
through an eternity. It waB a night

I wanted to speak, and could not. Sud

other may bo placed on top of a post
or tree stub. Tho sideB aro mado of

Besides protecting food, such a shel

Protection for Milk Cans.
Much milk that seems to bo perfect
ly good when It leaves tho farm,
reachos the consumor In bud condi
tion, and tho United States department
of agriculturo Is now convinced that
this is frequently duo to n riso in tho
temperature of the milk during trans
portation. A series of tests that haa
recontly ibeen completed shows the
Importance cf surrounding tho milk
sans during hot wouther with somo ap
propriate Insulating material which
will effectually exclude the heat.
Evun when milk Is to be nhlppod
jnly a short dlstanco its temporaturo
ihould not be higher than 50 dogrees

Multiply but the lucreaso is slow and
t few hours delay will result In no
lorious injury, in milk above 50 do-
. fcf
P
iilop
.grecs V. tho rato of hncterln growth Is i
much moro rapid, it follows that when
tho milk is to bo shipped a long dis
tance It must bo loaded on tho cars at
a temporaturo much less thavi SO de
grees F. unless somo efllclcivt means
Is taken to prevent tho temporaturo
rising during tho Journey.
Perhaps tho most practical way of
accomplishing this Is to wrap the cans
In a pair of quilt Jackets, wot burlap,
or somo other similar material. In tho
course of tho recent experiments milk
was haujed a dlstnnco of 13 miles In
an average air tempernturo of S2.G5 de
grees F., tho milk being shipped at a
temporaturo of GO dogrcoa P. At tho

Moro elnborato methods of preserv
ing milk during shipment by refrigera
tion aro discussed In a professional
bulletin Ju.t Usucd by tho United
States department of agriculture,
which deals In a technical way with
many types of refrigerating apparatus.
The bulletin discusses fully tho influ
ence of tlmo nnd temporaturo on bac
teria In milk. It also contains elab
orate diagrams Illustrating tho differ
ent methods employed In utilizing re
frlgorntton, and tho cost of operating
them. This bulletin so long as the
department's supply lasts will bo sent
freo to all Interested In the rofrlgora
tion of milk, Hofrlgcratlon, however,
Is, of course, not alwnys possible, whllo
any shipper can take tho precaution
of Jacketing his milk cans.
PROFIT MADE IN CAPOMZING
Increased Value of Birds Pays Well for
Time and Labor Operation Is
Not Difficult.
As a vnst majority of poultry own
ers and growers nro not profcsional
and keep tlio poultry Incidentally and
in tho main for tho uso of tho family,
it is not surprising that bo fow poul
try owners undertako to caponlzo tho
cockerels. Hut if all poultry owners
wero awaro of tho Increnso of profit
that capons pay over tho ordinary ,
poultry i uunK n great many moro
would learn how to perform tlio op
eration nnd caponlzo all tho surplus
males overy fall.
Even It it wero dono only to sup
ply tlio uso of them on one's own ta
ble It would pay well, says a writer In
an exchange. As almost all farmers
thomselves emasculato all their sur
plus boars and bull calves, nnd some
even tho male colts, it is evident that '
with a little moro skill they can omas-!
o..ln thn nnnWnlB nnd In mot oiBOa
can sell them for from a half moro up
to twlco as much as tho cockerels
would bring In the market.
As caponlzlng requires n keen eyo
and steady hand, as well as tho apo
dal tools for doing tho work, It would
bo well for ono without oxporlence, It
he can get the opportunity, to sco
somo ono who Is export at tho work
and then make a fow trials himself.
In ordor to mako tho Job easlor I
think It will bo well to etherize or
chloroform the chicken, so that it will

thero Is no reason to believe that tho
suffering will bo great,
GIVE THE TREES MORE ROOM
Question of Space Should Be Regu
lated Largely by Circumstances
Opinions Differ.
Tho question of how nvich spaco to
leave between tho trees 1b ono that
occasions much argument. This should
be regulated largely by circumstances.
If tho trees nro to bo kept well pruned
back they may bo as near bb four
yards apart, while thoso which aro to
bo allowed moro freo growth in tho
topa should bo at least 20 fcot apart.
Tho question of dlstanco depends en
tirely upon tho system of training ajid
richness of tho soil.
Tho common system of keeping tho
orchard In sod practiced by many ap
ple growers, Is not In favor among
pench growers, and except in very rare
cases, among small growers la prac
tically unknown. Thorough cultiva
tion Is necessary to develop tho pench
crop as tho tree during the tlmo of
bearing requires extremely largo
amounts of moisture and plant food.
Growers differ widely upon tho sys
tem of cultivation but all aro agreed
that plqwlng aB early BB-pbs3lblo In the
spring, thorough cultivation during
tho first half of tho summer soason
nnd tho growth of a cover crop of
somo kind during tho fall and wlntor
are essential to tho propor care of
tho peach orchard.
Tho disc or spading harrow Is hot
ter than tho plow In most cases a
tho side extensions enablo much clos
or work without Injuring tho trees.
In the caso of gravelly or hard heaw
soil the disc or sprlngtooth harrow
Is necessary during summer cultiva
tion, whllo the light smoothing liar
how is required on soils that aro in
a lino stuto of tilth.

"Thoro's ma lad, Jock. Ab'd lalka
him to hear what yo havo to say. Will
yo coom this nftoruoon and go over
your talk again?"
"Certainly, Blr, with pleasure," re
plied tho travoler heartily, and at the
hour nppolntod presented hlmsolt
again for tho Interview with father
and son. Again ho went over tho"
points of tho article ho had to sell
forcibly, eloquently, persuasively.
Never had ho acquitted himself of a
finer "soiling talk."
When ho hud finished tho old York
shire man turned to his son and said
enthuslasUcally: "Do you hear that,
Jock? Well, now, that's tho way I
want yo to sell our goods on tho road."

mako tho rounds, and It was qulte
natural that I should want a hot cup
of coffco about that time. I could
keep awako better.
"After threo of four years of cof
feo drinking, I becamo a norvo'us wreck
and thought that I simply could not
live without my coffeo. All this time
I was BUbJect to frequent bilious at
tacks, somotlmes so severo as to
keep rao In bed for soveral days.
"After being married, Husband
begged mo to leavo off coffeo for hs
fosred that It had already hurt me
almost boyond repair, so I resolved to
make an effort to releaso myself from
tho hurtful habit.
"I began taking Postum, and for a
fow days felt tho languid, tired feel
