a little girl came to school a few days ago with a severe bruise on her forehead and on being asked by mrs mcfore what had caused it would give no answer but looked ready to burst out in crying but another little child a relative was not so reticent and said her father haviug ob served that she had not done her puja for a great many days asked her why she had so neglected her devotions to which she replied father i have not neglected my devotions i have prayed every day to jesus i do not pray to idols because i do not believe iu them this so enraged the father that he seized her by the back of the neck took her before the idol and having first bowed reverently before it himself forcibly bent the childs head several times striking it so violently on the ground that it bled profusely the child bitterly crying the whole time but she smiled happily enough when this was related in school and said that she did not much mind adding i cannot believe that trees and wood and stone will save

seasonable wb will offer some snggestions regarding the gathering of apples tho time for picking is usually october the frnit should be gathered before being exposed to severe frosts cool dry weather is the most favorable most of the fruit must be gathered by hand and ladders of various lengths are needed scattered fruit on tho ends of limbs can be reaohed by a fruit gatherer attached to a pole if baskets are used they should have hooks attached for hang ing them to the ladder or limb of the tree perhaps the most convenient arrangement for picking is a common grain bag with its mouth propped open with a stick and the upper and lower corners tied together this can bo blung on the bhoulder and both hands are left free for picking the fruit it is also very convenient to empty the apples from the hag as it can be placed in the bottom of the barrel aud then with drawn depositing the fruit without the least bruising a bbnepicientdiscovj3ry the noblesi achieveiiexi of scie ice the iron horse
