Hero he was surround ed by a heathen population worship ing Bel (Daal) and Boltis, his consort, and other gods. Here he must fre quently have seen tho splendor of Babylonian royalty and the idolatrous worship of heathen gods. Hero also he must have been conversant with Babylonian literature and familiar with the wedge-shaped cuneiform writ ing in which all business and official correspondence was then conducted. These writings were done with a sty lus of hard wood or metal with a square end. This was pressed on the soft clay, which was then hard ened either by sun-drying or baking.

Indigestion and the attendant dis comforts of mind and body are cer tain to follow continued uso of im proper food. Thoso who are still young and ro bust are likely to overlook the fact that, as dropping water will wear a atone away at Inst, so will tho uso of heavy, greasy, rich food, finally causo loss of appetite and indigestion. Fortunately many' are thoughtful enough to study themselves and note the principle -of causo and effect in their dally food. A N. Y. young wom an writes her experience thus: "Sometime ago I had a lot of trou ble from indigestion, caused by too rich food. I got so I was unable to digest scarcely anything, and medi cines seemed useless. "A friend advised mo to try Grape Nuts food, praising it highly and as last resort, I tried it. I am thankful to say that Grape-Nuts not only re lieved mo of my trouble but built mo up and strengthened my digestive or gans so that I can now eat anything I desire. But I stick to Grape-Nuts."

CCELL Anbtaal la lK Deaa Moody tM lutlitvU, Qiiceco TEXT "Two men went up Into tho templo to pray, the ono a Pharisee, and tho other n publican." Luke 18:10. Tho PhariBoe thanked God he was not as the rest of men ho thought ho was tho best man in tho world. Tho publican cried, literally, "God bo merciful to mo a sinner" he thought ho was the worst man in tho world So wo may commend this story to all, tho best man in tho world and tho worst "The Pharlseo stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank theo, that I am not ae othor men are, extortioners, unjust, adultorors, or oven as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess." Note that he stood, he prayed with himself rather than to God, and ho used "I" five times. All tho points he enumerates may have been valid, yet he might have voiced tho samo facts on this wise: "I thank thee, O God, 1 am not unjust, but thou knowest how unmerciful I am; I am not an adultorer, but a look of lust Is adultery and I am unclean; I am not as this publican, but with his opportunities I might have been worse; I fast twico in tho week, yet I chooeo tho market days that I may bo seen of man, and my fasting needs to bo forgiven ; I glvo tithes of all, be yond the requirements of the law, yet the weightier matters of the law I omit." Thoso who trust in themselves that they are righteous forget The Possibility of Evil Within. The English martyr, John Bradford, cried out as a murderer was led to the gallows, "There I go but for tho grace of God." "That which is born of the flesh is flesh." Every soul has the tinder of sin within it, and needs only tho spark of temptation to sot it aflame. No man, apart from tho grace of, God, knows to what depths he may descend. The self-righteous forget Tho Humility of the Salnta. Holy men never boast of their good ness. Paul, after suffering many things for Christ's sake, wrote himself down "tho chief of sinners." John Bunyan spent twelve years in Bedford Jail for Christ, yet ho calls hia autobiography "Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sin ners." When John Wesley thought ho was- dying, he reviewed his sixty years of Christian service, yet said his hope of salvation was expressed In the words of tho hymn, I tho chief of sinners am. But Jesus died for me. When Charles Spurgeon was ill, he Bald he would havo many things to preach should ho recover, but that Just then four words were enough, Jesus died for me. This Is the way the saints speak of themselves. Those who trust in themselves that they are righteous forget The Necessity of Calvary. Why did Jesus dlo? In order that God might be Just and yet Justify the ungodly. A solution of this problem was found only by the wisdom and lovo of God in sending his Son to die as the substitute for Blnners. It meant tho strong crying and bloody Bweat of Gethsomane and we believe Christ really sweat blood. It meant the scourging, which waB the punish ment of slaves and criminals, often de stroying the eyes or exposing the en trails. Christ was so faint they car ried him to the cross, and tho coming forth of blood and water from his side .Bhowcd ho died, literally, of a broken heart But one element In his suffer ings wo can never understand tho cry, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsake'n me?" la loneliness and dark ness ho bore the sins of men and this cry was like one breaker on tho shore, tolling of a soa of sorrow unimagin able. Thus a holy God shows his esti mate of sin, and this is the price at which ho provides redemption. What folly for a man to trust himself that he Is righteous I The solf-rlghteous forget The Great White Throne. John wrltoB, "I saw a great white throne, and him that Bat on it from whose face tho earth and heaven flew away; and thero was found no place for them. And I saw tho dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books wore opened: and another book was opened, which Is the book of life: and the dead were Judged out of those things which wero written in tho books, according to tbolr works. And whosoevor was not found written in tho book of life was cast into tho lake of fire" (Rev. 20:11, 12, IB). No .nan could faco that adeal hopefully, un less he had put his trust in tho Savior and was written in the book of Hfo, arisee 1 I HOME FRUIT GARDEN W' JBBBS4i&SSBaBsi' YBM-XtthV "s -lSlt TbfS jSPS. fcft iB i. x. i V .la i'P ""ll f . x.

Japanese Plum (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture ) Ono of tho most Important fcaturos of a suburban homo, from the stand point of health. Is a fruit gardon main tained for tho purpose of supplying tho family with fruits. It Is amazing that oven thoso who havo Bultablo situations nnd facilities for raising fruits, and who cannot purchase them because of remoteness from mnrkets, have not established homo fruit gar dens. Tho inhabitants of this country aro notably a frult-lovlng nnd fruit-eating people. Notwithstanding this, how ever, fruit culture has grown to be classed among specialties, and few persons who consume fruit are actual growers. Tho possibilities in fruit culture upon restricted areas have been very generally overlooked with the result that many persons who own a suburban homo, or even a farm, now look upon fruit as a luxury. A great 'deal of the land which Is now practically wasted and entirely un remunerative can be mndo to pro duce fruits in sufficient quantity to give them a regular place upon tho family bill of fare, and at the samo time, add greatly to tho attractiveness of tho table and healthfulness of tho diet With tho growth of commercial fruit Interests of tho United States tho homo fruit garden has been over shadowed by the orchard. While both the home garden and the orchard are essential to tho good of the commu nity, they bear different relations to the country as a whole. The hbmo garden is always a forerunner of com mercial development, nnd oven In thoso localities where climatic and poll conditions nro adverse to con ducting such industries on an exten slvo scale, tho 'home fruit garden of the enthusiastic amateur is certain to bo found. The .homo production of fruit stimu lates nn interest and lovo for natural objects, "which can only be acquired by that familiarity with them which comes through their culture. The cultivation of fruits teaches discrimi nation. If every purchaser was a good Judge of tho different kinds of fruits, the demand for fruits of high quality, to produco which is tho ambition of every amateur an well as every pro fessional fruit grower, would become a reality. Tho encouragement of tho cultivation of flno fruits In the homo gardon will do much toward teaching buyers to discriminate botwoen tho good and tho inferior varieties of fruit The maintenance of a fruit gardon brings pleasure nnd healthful employ ment, and as one's interest In grow ing plants Increases, this employment instead of proving a 'hardship, will bo corae a great source of pleasure. The posBosBlon of a tree which one has planted and reared to frutt production carries an added Interest in its prod uct as well as in tho operation by which It was secured. Most persons engaged in the culti vation of homo fruit gardens will havo as their chief aim tho production of fruit for tho family table, 'and tho pleasuro It affords. Fruit growing should claim tho attention of tho pro ducer from early spring to lato aut umn. In ordor to securo satisfactory re sults in a limited area devoted to fruit culture ono must know tho meth ods of pruning, training, and culture best suited to the spaco at command. In proportion to size, dwarf trees aro mom fruitful than standards; they como Into bearing sooner and nro th6roforo of special value for uso In fruit gardens. At planting tlmo all broken or de cayed roots should bo cut away, lpaving only smooth-cut surfaces and healthy wood to come In contact with the soil. If a largo part of tho root area of tho plant has been lost in transplanting, tho top should be cut back in proportion to tho roots re maining. By so doing tho domand made by tho top when tho plant starts into growth can bo met by tho root. Tho holes In which troes, vines, or shrubs aro to bo set should be ample, so that tho roots of tho plants may havo full spread without bending them out of their natural course. The enith nt thu bottom of tho holes should bo looBoned a spado dopth be low tho lino of excavation. Tho soil placed Immediately In contact with the roots of the newly set plant should bo rich top soil, freo from sod or partially decayed organic matter.

A movemont of soil water is thus sot up and tho food supply of tho soil brought immediately to tho use of tho plant When tho operation of trans planting is complote, tho plant should stand 1 or 2 Inches deeper than it stood in tho nursery. The Interost in a fruit gardon may be greatly enhanced by growing in It plants not adapted naturally to tho climatic region in which thd gar den Is located, as, for Instance, tho growing of figs us far north as tho latltudo of Philadelphia. Tho sum mers of tho region aro sufficiently long and warm to induco a strong growth in the fig, but as tho fruits normally require n long period in which to mature, tho plant becomes useless ns n fruit producer uhIcbb suf ficient protection is afforded to carry over winter tho immature fruits set the previous fall. This can bo suc cessfully accomplished in several ways. Tho most hardy sort should bo selected, in addition to which tho fruiting shoots may bo wrapped in matting, covered with straw, and tho fruits thus successfully protected; or, if it seems desirable, temporary sheds may bo built over tho plants, and theso thatched with straw or fodder sufficiently to protect them from frost. A cozy summer veranda may bo covered by grapevines, thus securing the double advantage of a cool, shady nook during summer and a supply of fruit in autumn. Tho vinos may be utilized as a covor for walks and drives or as a canopy over small outbuildings. POULTRY DROPPINGS ARE 0FBIG VALUE According to Maine Station, Col lection Should Be Made Daily to Conserve Strength. A recent bulletin of tho Maino ag ricultural experiment station shows that the poultryman or farmer can ma terially add to the profits of his busi ness by properly caring for tho drop pings of his fowls. For example, it la shown that tho droppings from 1,000 fowls If presorvod without need less loss aro worth at least 1300 per annum, and this estimate is based on the assumption that less than half of the droppings, or only 30 pounds per hen per year, can bo collected'. According to tho Maine station, the droppings should bo collected dally and mixed with substances which will (1) prevent loss of nitrogen; (2) add sufficient potash and phosphoric acid to make a better balanced fertilizer, and (3) improve tho mechanical con dition of tho manure so that it -can bo applied to tho land with a manure spreader. This can be dono ns follows: To each 30 pounds of tho manure add ton pounds of sawdust, good dried loam, or peat, 1C pounds of acid phosphato and eight poundB of kainlt Such a mixture will contain about 1.20 por cent of nitrogen, 4.6 per cent of phos phoric acid and 2 per cent of potash, which, used at tho rata of two tons per aero would furnish 50 poundB of nitrogen, 185 pounds of phosphoric acid and 80 pounds of potash, and at the present price of fertilizing Ingre dients It would bo worth about $10 por ton. Tho mixture would furnish a well balanced stable fertilizer, which, al though not fine enough to work well in drills, can bo successfully applied with a manuro spreador. Tho treated inanuro should bo well sheltered un til tlmo to npply to tho land that is, shortly beforo plowing. Green Manure Crops.

Hackott, tho actor, tells tho story of a inorchant who had beon traveling somo months, and upon his return was informed of tho death of a 'valued friend.
