for Catarrh of the Throat of I wo
Years' Standing.
"I was afflicted for two years with
catarrh of the throat. At first it was
very slight, but every cold I took made
It worse.
"I followed your diroctior.s and in a
very short time I began to improve. I
took one bottle and am now taking
my second. I can safely say that my
throat and head are cleared from ca-
tarrh at the present time, but I still
continue to take my usual dose for a
•pring tonic, and I find there is noth-
ing better."--Mrs. W. Pray, 260

What Charlie Had.
Several of the scholars had returned
to Sunday school after being absent
•ome weeks on account of illness, "1

'I had the mumps," said another. "So
lid I," said a third. The superintend-
ent l^ard them, and, addressing a
turly-lieaded boy said: "Well, Charlie,

Charlie's face flushed. He thought a
moment and then sang out in hint

"We are really at a loss to know
how to punish Earle," she said. "We
Jiave tried all the punishment in our

liave reasoned with htm and told him
that he will cease to bo our pretty pet

of the old school, who was visiting
them, "you will find on the trunk in

But, of course, he didn't know any-
thing about modern methods.
Perfectly Reckless.
The members of the church voted
that their dearly-beloved and devoted
pastor should have a vacation, and so
ho decided that he would visit a broth-
er worker In the neighboring village.
This good brother recognizing his
fellow-worker in the Lord way back
among the congregation, on Sunday
morning, and wishing to show every
courtesy, asked him to lead in prayer.
But the visitor calmly replied: "You'll
have to excuse me, dear brother, I'm

Letting Him Down Easy.
A young man of very limited means,
after the marriage ceremony, present-

the grower an opportunity to collect
practically all of the rain which falls
upon the field throughout this period,
and In seasons when the precipitation
is light, plowing, with proper cultlca-
tion, will lessen the amount of moist-
ure which iB allowed to evaporate un-
der existing systems of soli manage-

soil time to settle, and after it is

through the growing season at inter-

against weeds, and will assist, in con-

in the season the soil may be stirred
with a one-horse five-tooth cultivator.
This practice is not common in broom
corn sections, but it is a practice that
has been adopted by some in cultivat-
ing Indian corn, and it ought to give
equally good results in broom corn

PLACE Antioch, the rich and lmpor-
t.mt rapltal of Syria, 300 miles north of
Jerusalem. St. Luko was a native of An-
tioch; so was Chrysostom.
Suggestion and Practical Thought.
"Having proceeded to such a
length, the rage of the people turned
upon the whole Christian body."—Cam-
bridge Bible. The disciples "were scat-
■ ered abroad." The Greek verb is
based upon the thought of seed-sofring,
and Indeed every disciple was a seed
<rf truth. May all Christians be such
when they go abroad, traveling eli her
for business or pleasure. The Jews
were like foolish children trying to
stamp out a forest fire, and merely
spreading more widely the sparks and
blazing coals. The disciples were
drfven "as far as 1'henice" (Phoenicia,
the Mediterranean coast north of Gali-
lei), "and Cyprus" (the large Mediter-
ranean Island northwest of Jerusalem,
t>0 miles from the Phoenician coast),
and Antioch" (the most northern city
on the coast. Thus the fleeing Chris-
tians, "following the track of coasting
vessels, went northward."—Rackham.
It Is easy even for the modern
church to conceive Jewish prejudices,
; and feel that there Is no possibility
j of much good outside "our" denomina-
! tion, or "our" country, or "our" race.
J True Christianity, however, makes its
followers realize that all men are
j brothers for whom Christ died, and
i that the most degraded nations and
races have in them tho making of
saints and apostles.
j v. 21. "A great number believed, and
j turned nnto the Lord." The reasons
I for this were many:
| 1 The Christians who established
Hie Antioch church had been strength-
j ened by persecutions, which they had
mot with unflinching bravery and
fidelity.
2. The very vices of Antioch showed
the need of a purifying gospel, and
doubtless many were disgusted with
j them and eager to turn from them,
j The strongest Christians often grow
j up amid corruption,
j 3. The people of Antioch were ener-
! Rp,ic. vigorous, in the habit of doing
things. The aggressive character of
i Christianity appealed to them, and
, when they accepted the new religion,
I they carried into it the same activity
that had brought success in the world- I
j ly enterprises of Antioch
I 4. But the chief reason for tho
growth of the Antiocli church is given
In the text. "The hand of the Lord
was with them." "The hand" is the
symbol of power and of work. Willing
Christians are God's hands. Through
them God can easily accomplish what
would be Impossible to their unaided
efforts. Here were a little group of
refugees, poor, despised, pursued.
Here was one of the world's proudest,
mightiest, richest, wickedest cities.
And the handful of refugees so moved
upon the city that three centuries later
Its greatest son, Chrysostom the gold-
en-mouthed preacher, said that half its
population were Christian.

Time of Planting—Broom corn, like
I tho other plants in the same group,
makes its most rapid growth In warm
weather. It has been Intimated that
the young plants are rather tardy in
starting, and they do not make much
progress for the first two or three
solutely necessary that the crop bo
harvested at a time when the heads
are prime in quality.
Harvesting—Broom corn is usually
pulled and piled In small bunches
along the row. Brush from two or
four rows may be placed together.
These small piles are left in the field
for a few days until they are partial-
ly dry, and then they are gathered up
