B ia THE SEEDS OF It All Depends How One Behaves When the Testing Time Comes. You recall the Parable of the Sower. The difference lay in the location. Some seeds fell on the road; some fell on stony soil; some fell among thorns ; others fell on good soil. The key of Christ's parables hung at the door, and was within reach. We must make no mistake, as did the boy who was reciting the story of the man who went down to Jerico. He declared that the thorns sprang up and choked him ! ed to the growth of the seeds. But at last the testing time comes. Something Something real or fancied appears; bitterness, bitterness, hatred is expressed approaching insanity, and these thorns spring up and choke the seeds of friendship. The difference was in soils, not seeds. God's Perfect Gentleman. When Christ was reviled He did not pay back in that com. Even after He arose from the dead He held no grudge against a Peter who denied Summer Furs More Modish. From Fashion's court comes the word that summer furs will be more modish this year even than they were last. The huge boa' of white fox held the favored place last summer, but this season the shops are offering a. variety of furs, for summer wear. In spite of the apparent absurdity, a_ wide soft stole of mole, mink, seal, or erçnine often proves a very grateful addition to the sheer summer dance frock on seaside porch or board walk.

PRINCESS LIKE "PETER PAN.' Mary Is Nineteen, But Very Girlish In Her Ways. "She's just like one of our own lasses," a Canadian soldier remarked remarked of Princess Mary the day he was one of the party of wounded entertained entertained by the King and Queen at Buckingham Buckingham Palace, and he proudly displayed the invitation card to the Palace which the Princess had autographed for him. It was only one of dozens of such cards that she had good-naturedly signed. When she wasn't pouring out tea she was surrounded by little groups of soldiers and sailors who begged her to write her name on their cards, too, and in each case the Princess smilingly agreed. Princess Mary has been aptly called called the "Peter Pan" Princess, so extremely extremely girlish and youthful is she in her ways, so much so that it seems hard to believe that she recently celebrated celebrated her nineteenth birthday, and that if there had been no war she would have been one of last season's debutantes. But she enjoyed the homely birthday birthday tea-party given to > her own intimate intimate little circle of girl friends who came to help her eat the wonderful three-tiered cake the royal chef had made for her, even so much more than she would have enjoyed a regulation regulation court hall given in her honor with all its attendant trappings of state for, like Queen Mary, the Princess Princess has very simple tastes. She is gifted with the sound common sense of her mother, too, and forms very decided views. Once some of her friends were having having a friendly little argument as to which profession produces the bravest bravest men. Some said the" army, others the navy, others voted for the medical medical profession. The Princess listened very quietly to what they all had to say, and then remarked very deliberately, "I think you're all wrong. To my mind airmen airmen are the bravest men that can be found." She goes about a great deal with her mother now, accompanying her to most social functions which have the helping of our soldiers and sailors sailors as their object. She works very hard indeed for the Queen's Needlework Needlework Guild, and the tablé in her own little sitting-room at Buckingham Palace is always covered with garments garments she is making for the soldiers and sailors and for the children of the -poor. "What a pity it isn't Mary who's to be King," the Prince of Wales remarked remarked one day as a tiny lad, "she's so clever and she's so good at managing managing us all." And her brothers are managed by "Mary" to this day. -- favored with certain costumes, and wreaths are quite popular. The flower-stenciled hats are very well liked indeed. Ribbon, too, is smart for trimming, and ostrich, in the form of fringe and fancies, is a popular popular trimming. The Return of Ostrich Boas. The revival of the feather boa will be welcomed by many, as it lends a soft, becoming touch to suit or gown, and in its new shades, a welcome bit of contrast. These boas, as a rule, Dicky Chick Tries to Swim. Mother Hen looked down at her youngest chick with a frown. "If you don't stop sulking, you shall not go with us to the wheatfield this after noon," she said firmly. The sulky chicken wiggled his little little yellow feet in the worm, brown sand, and ruffled up his feathers, which was his way of pouting. "What's the matter with you now?" asked one of his sisters. "You always always make things so unpleasant with your grumbling and pouting! Here's a fat worm, if you're hungry," and she tossed him a big, juicy worm. But the sulky chicken was not hungry. hungry. He let the worm* twist itself along, until it almost got away into a hole in the earth; but just then old Daddy Rooster, with a loud crow, jumped from the barnyard fence anti gulped the worm down himself. "What's the matter down here?" he demanded in a loud voice, which made the ' little chickens shake, for Daddy Rooster, with his shining red comb and great, curling tail feathers, seemed very grand to them. "Oh, Dicky Chick is sulky!" said Mother Hen. "He wants to go with the duck family on their picnic to-day to the old red bridge.' "He does, does he?" Daddy Rooster said after a moment's pause. "Well, we'll let him go this thime." J "What?" cried Mother Hen. "We | are going to the wheatfields." Daddy Rooster chuckled to himself. I ONR-ROUND ANDERSON. ,, 'British Battery Doing Effective Work j at the Front. | There is a battery of- eighteeri- poünders at the Front which is driving driving the fear of death into the hearts of the Huns. It is not without reason,- reason,- for those six guns e rarely speak without sending a. tale of woe which finds an echo in many a German home. Coming to France with a reputation reputation for deadly shooting gained • in many a hard-fought campaign against the wild tribesmen of the North-West frontier of Inida, the battery speedily gained the affections of Atkins by effective work, and the fact that it rarely fires more than one round.. "Blimme!" cried a Cockney, who was quick to note this characteristic, "it's a fair knock-out!" and there and then christened the captain in charge "One-Round Anderson"--a sobriquet which is likely to stick.

The quaint little capes, pelerines, and similar fancies, of taffeta, faille, or satin, now being offered for summer summer wear, are other attractive additions additions to the summer frock; in all probability probability these will be quite as - popular as the fur stole, or the feather boa, or even a little more favored.

Railroads Decide to Suspend All Tourist Tickets. The congestion on the principal English railroads and the necessity for economy will result in the suspension suspension of tourist tickets and the withdrawal withdrawal of a number of dining cars from service. _ It is thought that the suspension of tourist tickets will cause a greatly lessened lessened volume of passengers on their way to holiday resorts at considerable distances from their homes.

"I will do my best, sir," said Muggins. "Now," said the sergeant, "that first question he will ask you, 'How old are you, my man?' you will reply, 'Twenty-five.' He will then say, 'How long have you been in the service ? ' you will say, 'Three months, sir.' He will then say, 'Are your clothing and rations in every way satisfactory to you?' You will say, 'Both, sir.' " Muggins kept repeating this for the remainder of the day, till he had it perfect<for the morrow. The Colonel arrived, and Muggins was duly called out. "How long have you been in the service, my man ? " was the Colonel's first question. "Twenty- five years, sir," promptly replied Muggins. The Colonel opened his eyes very wide.

As soon as they reached the brook, they made a great clatter, and waded in and began to swim downstream, where the water wa -• deep. Little Dicky Chick did not hesitate. He was among the first that waded in. The oozy, moist mud felt pleasant to his feet at first; but as he went farther farther in, and the water wet his soft little leg feathers, and then his. body and tail, and he finally felt himself being carried along by the flow of the water, he began to be a little frightened. But he was a plucky litle fellow. He saw the little ducks round him diving diving and having a fine time. One oi them in sport dived so close to him that the water covered him up entirely. entirely. He left his breath going, and the next he knew a flat bill snapped his little bunch of tail feathers, and lifted him out of the water.. The next minute minute he was on Mrs. Duck's smooth, broad white back. He dug his little toes into her feathers, and hun gon with all his might. Mrs. Duck scolded her family soundly, soundly, for the little ducks were making all sorts of fun of their little play mate; then shè steered for the edge of the brook. "Right beyond that fence," she saic as she reached the bank and the little chick slid down, "is the wheatfield where your family are. Good-by!" Little Dicky Chick, very much ashamed, ashamed, thanked her,' and made his way quickly to the wheatfield. As he crawled through a hole in t he stone wall, the whole chicken family seemed to be looking for him, for they were all standing near him with their heads in the air. Daddy Rooster made believe that he was much astonished. 'Back so soon, Dicky Chich ?" "How's swimming?" asked one of Dicky's brothers tea singly. But Dicky Chick- only ran to his mother, and wiggled his wet little body into her warm feathers, with just his feet peeping out.

Method of Contraction That Enables it to Crawl and Climb. A snake moves along the ground by contracting the ribs on one side of his Dody and separating' those on the other side, says the Philadelphia Record. Record. This forms one curve. Another Another contraction takes place at the end of the expanded side, and bends he body in the opposite direction. Thus there is a series of alternate constrictions and spreadings of the numerous ribs throughout the length of the reptile as it lies ground. When the snake is in motion some part of the bdy must secure itself against rough or projecting surfaces, from which the forward part can bo impelled. Then the forward part vakes hold and the hinder length is dragged to a new position. The row The report shows that the efforts of the board have resulted in a reduction of the average weekly number of convictions convictions for drunkenness in England and Wales from 2,034 in 1914 to an average of 940 for last March, the latest latest month for Which figures are available. available. In Scotland the average has been reduced from 1,424 in 1914 to 794 for March. The figures for London, where a "no treating" order went into effect on October 11, 1915,'are of particular interest. The weekly average of convictions convictions for the metropolitan district in 1914 was 1,301. This was reduced to 1,008 for the four weeks prior to. October 11, and in ' the succeeding month dropped to 718. Reductions on a similar scale were shown in the great industrial centres of Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester. The board has been especially active in looking after the great army of workers who are employed in munitions industry. To offset the evil influence of drinking places usually patronized'by the workers, "industrial canteens," where substantial and well-cooked meals with light refreshments refreshments can be obtained at reasonable prices, were established. In addition the law was enforced which requires public houses to supply food as well as liquor. Lord D'Abernon reports that the canteens have proved a great success and have contributed materially materially to the checking of excessive thë ■ drinking and the improvement of the health of the workers., \ Corns cause much suffering, but Holloway's Holloway's Corn Cure offers a speedy, rtire and satis'ac'nry relief.
