M0T73 FOR CHRISTIAN HOME Ideals Which Consistently Lived Up to, Cannot Fail to Make for Hap piness in Life. This home is dedicated to good will. It grew out of love. The two heads of the household were called together by a power higher than they. To its decree they are obedient. Every tone of the voice, every thought of their being, is subdued to that service. They desire to be worthy of their high calling, as ministers of that grace. They know their peace will go unbroken only for a little time. And often they suspect that the time will be more short even than their anxious hope. They cannot permit so much as one hour of that brief unity to be touched by scorn or malice. The world's judgments have lost their sting inside this door. Those who come seeking to continue the har mony which these two have won are ever welcome. The rich are welcome, so they come simply. The poor are welcome, for they have already learned friendliness through buffeting Youth is welcome, for it brings the joy which these two would learn. Age is welcome, for it will teach them tenderness—Collier's Weekly. CHILD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS 632 X. 5th St., Terre Haute, Ind.— “My little nephew, a boy of four years, had a breaking out on his face. It was little red spots at first, then he would rub and scratch and water blisters would form, and w herever the water would run another would come until his face was covered with them. He would cry and fret. His mother got some medicine, but it did not do any good. He would scream and cry and say it hurt. We hardly knew him, his litle face was all red spots and blisters. So I begged him to let me rut some Cutlcura Ointment on them. The next morning I made a strong soap suds with Cuticura Soap and washed his face in the warm suds. The little blisters burst by pressing the cloth on them. After I had his face washed. I put the Cuticura Oint ment on and in a short time his little face was all red and dry. I kept using the Cuticura Soap and putting on the Cuticura Ointment and his face got as well and it did not leave a scar. He was entirely cured in about one week and a half.” (Signed) Mrs. Arthur Haworth. Jan. 10. 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book.

"Say. mamma.'' he asked, what has become of the bird's other leg?" "It has raised it up among its feath ers." replied the mother. "That's funny," the boy observed. "I thought it was trying to clean its shoe on its stocking like sister Ethel does." Astonished tne Bishop. It was an English youngster who so thoroughly surprised the kindly bish op whom he had been directed to ad dress as "My lord." "How old might you be, my child?" asked the stately, if smiling ecclesias tic. "My God. I'm seven!" the frightened child replied. Where He Got It. “The first time my little boy fell in love he got it in the neck." "She snubbed him. eh?"

E. E. Ellsworth of the New York Zouaves was killed May 24. 1861, for tearing down a Confederate flag. The town lies on the Virginia side of the Potomac, seven miles below Washington, and its historical associ ations run back to colonial times and continue down through the French and Indian wars, the revolution, the war of 1812 and the rebellion. George Wash ington as a surveyor helped lay out the town, and became closely identi fled with it. Mount Vernon being only nine miles away. Alexandria was Washington’s voting place and his market town. He was a member of its corporation council, commander of local militia and a member of its vol unteer fire company, while here In a I hall that is still well preserved he at tended the lodge of Free Masons of ; which he was a member. For nearly £0 years the town was 1 in the District of Columbia, until in 1864 that por tion of the orig inal district ly ing on the west sile of the Po tomac was ced ed back to Vir inia. Christ church is generally the ! first point of i i n Le r e s t to which the guides conduct ! visitors. The edifice has been 1 suffered to un dergo little change during the last cen < u ry . vv nen Fairfax parish was created in 1763, George Washington, then thirty-three jears of age, was one of its first ves j trymen. The church was finished in 1773. and at the dedication Colonel Washington subscribed £36 10s for a pew. the highest price paid. In the vestry room the sexton displays the record of the purchase of the pew. The Washington pew, a roomy, com fortable pew of the square type, with seats running around three of its sides and a little wooden gate inclosing the occupants, is preserved just as it looked when it was occupied by the Washington family. On the rail is a silver plate inscribed with a facsimile of Washington's autograph. The seat is now reserved for strangers. Nearly every visitor to the church sits in the pew for brief meditation while the caretaker points out features of the interior. On the other side of the aisle, half way down the church, is the pew that was occupied by the I.ee family, marked with a silver plate bearing a facsimile of the signature cf Robert Edward Lee, commander-in chief of the Confederate army. In front of the church are two mural tab 1 lets containing the apostles' creed and the Lord’s prayer. They have re mained unchanged from the early days of the church and are in old fashioned English lettering with "f "s instead of '‘s”s. The communion table, the chancel rail, the reading desk and chairs were all here in the days cf Washington, and so was the chandelier with its 12 candlesticks. At the en trance to the church is a tablet enumerating the six colonels who ; served as honorary pallbearers and the lieutenants who were active pall bearers at the funeral of Washington. At Fairfax and Cameron streets is the most impressive relic in the town —the Carlyle house, it was built in 1743 by John Carlyle, who married Sarah Fairfax, daughter of Lord Fair fax. and served at rcaior and commis sary under General Itraddock in the French and Indian wars. The old hotel is now almost inclosed by other buildings. When built its eastern side was on the water's edge, while its west portico looked out upon Alexandria, then a great British me tropolis for the colonies, with a com merce extending to the West Indies, South America and Europe. The river is now some distance away, while the front of the old house is b'dden from the street by another hotel built •arcund it. Enough space was pro is/smzsr aw&sr ciia^a? V ArMlXXA2VZ)£M, f-yt \ 720? C2UtZ,¥Z& SZOUiX? vided, however, to furnish a pood view of the old portico and the front side of the historic Carlyle house. A walk down a cobwebby passage or two brings one to the old hotel. The guide points out the room in which (leorge Washington was offered a com mission in the British army by Gen eral Braddock. The chamber occu pied by Rraddook is exhibited, in the center of it a camp bed used by the British general during the French and Indian wars. Th°n there is the "blue room," mildewed and stained now, in which General Braddock held his con ferences with the governors of six of the colonies. This council between the governors and the British com manders. General Braddock and Com modore Keppel. led to resolutions re citing that, as the governors found It impossible to raise in their respective colonies the revenue assessed by King George, his majesties ministers should be asked to find out some method of compelling the raising of the revenue. The congress of Alexandria contribut ed largely to the discontent that led to the revolution. As soon as the residents of the town heard of the action of the council they met in the courthouse and passed a resolution Groses' w&sjEz&ertzrr That taxation and representation ere in their nature inseparable.'' George* Washington presided at the meeting. In the cellar of the old hotel are the dungeons in which captive Indians were imprisoned and hanged and the cellar room in which Carlyle lived for many months as a precaution against Indian attack. The building is of mas sive stone, which was brought over from England as ballast in ships, and it is in good preservation, although its interior is delightfully dilapidated from the point of view cf the anti quarian. i'ntil recently several pieces of the original furniture were in the rooms, but they have been purchased for a stage setting for a colonial drama. A fine mahogany staircase in the main hall is a delightful feature of this colonial relic. ' On this here stairway,” recites the young woman who acts as guide, “George Washington met his first de feat. He was coming down these here stairs when the big door there opened and in Walked Miss Sally Fairfax on her way to lead the minuet. George Washington was only nineteen years old at the time, but he fell desperately in love and askpd Miss Fairfax to mar ry him. She rejected him. This was the first and only defeat of the great general.4' A flight of dark stone stairs leads to the basement rooms, one of which, Carlyle's room, is said by the guide to have been connected with the river bank by an underground passage Nothing remains of this subterranean wav, it having been closed up to pre vent accidents. AH Met Death Within Year Suprrstition of Thirteen at Table, Tt.ough Not Absolutely Correct, Seemed to Be Verified. "The most interesting ease of thir teen at table occurs in the biography of Sir John Everett Millais, who one day unexpectedly found himself with twelve guests at his table, one of them being Matthew Arnold. A lady, discovering the fact, declared that she dared not remain after her pain fill experience on a former occasion when thirteen were present. To ap pease her the artist persuaded one of his sons to take his meal in another room. That sou returned to the room at the close of dinner to hear Arnold say: 'The idea is that whoever leaves the table first will die within a year: so. with the permission of the ladies, we will cheat the fates for once. I and these fine strong lads (pointim: to two of his fellow. guestsl will all rise together, and I think our united constitutions will be able to with stand the assault of the reaper.’ Six months later Matthew Arnold, in the prime of life and apparently in the J hest of health, died suddenly of heart disease. Shortly afterward the sec ond of the three who had risen simul taneously front table came to a mys terious end in Xew York, whither he had gone after a grievous disappoint ment over a play which he had writ ten. How he met hi3 death will prob ably never be known. He was found shot through the head, whether by his own hftnd or that of another, none was able to say. though murder was suspected. The third of the threr made a voyage, for his health's sake, to Australia, and his friends thought that he at least would survive the fatal period. Rut he set out on the return journev on the Quetta, which foundered within the year, with all on board, on one of the Xew Guinea reefs. Such is the story’, but. be it noted, there were not thirteen at din ner. and the three who rose left a table at which only twelve had dined." WHERE ALL ARE WELC0A1E Everybody Fed in House Where Great Turkish Chieftain First Saw the Light of Day. A present center of int°rest is the house where Mohammed Ali was horn, the great conqueror of, Egypt. This house is maintained bv the govern ment in the same condition as when Mohammed was a babv and swung in a cradle hung from the hooks in the _ | ceiling of the room where he was | bom. Ali loved his birthplace, and i when he became rich and powerful he ' found^d here a great school attended ; bv poor boys from all the region round ! !'bout. Here once a week in the great dining room everybody who comes is fed. Turks, Jews. Christians, Greeks, Armenians, Americans even—no one ! is turned away. As 1 visited the es , tablishment I saw great fires of logs in the basement of one of the school buildings, and over the Gres pots of pilaff cooking. This delicious concoc tion. made of rice and meat and va rious delirious sauces, gave forth a savory smell, and I do not wonder that many a hungry mortal who comes for a square meal once a week to this ancient foundation blesses the name of Mohammed Ali.—Christian Herald.

Among George Grossmith's reminis cences concerning the late Sir Henry Irving appears this one: Orossniith was at one time stopping at the same hotel that sheltrred Irving in Man chester, England. His carriage was waiting for him. and. as the hall porter opened the door. Grossmith noticed an enormous crowd outside. "Are these people waiting to see me leave the hotel?’ he asked. "No, sir: they are waiting to see Sir Enry Hirving." Hut doesn't Sir Henry find this a bit of a nuisance?" The porter replied: ‘‘It does worry him a bit, s;r; he doesn't like it." W ell, I 11 do him a good turn," said Mr. Grossmith. Pulling down the collar of his fur lined coat, adjusting his pince-nez, and pulling his Momburg hat over his brow, Grossmith strutted down the steps with Irving's gait. The "eering was great, and some of the people even followed the car riage. When Sir Henry came down a lit tle later he found no crowd await ing him. Subsequently he mentioned the matter to Mr. Grossman, remark ing with a humorous twinkle in his eye: "You ought not to have done that. I pay these people to come every night.” Argentina Growing Potatoes. Argentina is steadily increasing its potato crop, importing more than 2. 540,000 bushels of seed las* >ear. TRUCK GARDENING AND POULTRY RAISING THESr, AS WELL AS OTHER MIXED FARMING ERANCHES, PAY IN WESTERN CANADA. Truck gardening and poultry grow lng are two branches of agriculture in which the farmers near the main ! lines of the three transcontinentalS lines traversing Western Canada are much concerned. The abundance of sunshine during the long days from May to September, and adequate mois ture in the spring and early summer permit of a v ide variety of crops. The soil is rich and warm and is easily worked. Close attention to cultiva tion has resulted in record yields of all sorts of vegetable and Email fruits which bring good prices in the cities and at the numerous railway construc tion camps. Mr. Harris Oium. an Alberta farmer came from South Dakota eleven years ago and homesteaded the first 160 acres in his township in 1002. which was divided between grain and pas ture. He earned sufficient money to buy a quarter section of railway land at fit an acre. The half section netted proportionate profits and he gradually increased Lis holdings to 1.920 acres which was devoted to mixed farming last year. He values his land at foO an acre. Mr. Oium markets from 100 to 12ii hogs and a similar number of beef cattle each year He has 200 hogs, mostly pure bred Poland China. 23 head draft horses and 25 head of pure bred Hereford cattle Ey feeding bar ley to hogs he estimates that the grain nets him SO certs a bushel, as com pared with 40 r-en's. the average mar ket price when delivered to the ware house. His average crop of barley is 40 bushels to the acre, while oats av erage SO bushels.

They had lived in a flat all of Wil lie's short life. sc> that the little boy's knowledge of fauna and flora was limited to canary birds and flower boxes: and when they went to board in the suburb where there was a large yard. Willie, very enthusiastically started to pursue a chicken, armed with a stick and other missiles. When the hostess protested to his mother, she turned from the window and said, indulgently: "You have to forgive dear Willie —he doesn't know that's a chicken. Why He Is Known. The class in ancient history was re citing. "Now. Harry, can you tell me who Nebuchadnezzar was? ' asked the teacher.

A curious old law, which dates from 1779, has been used to sentence the owner of a vineyard at Capestang, near Beziers. France, to a fine aud costs for picking her own grapes. She was picking the grapes w hich had been left on the vines in the vineyard after the fall gathering, w hen the policeman told her that she was committing an offense against the law, as all grapes left on the vines after the harvest were the property of the poor. The court at Beziers confirmed the police man's opinion, and the woman was convicted. Flattery. Visitor—So he trimmed the people here out of thousands of dollars? He must have been smooth.
