, of one hour, 1J minutes and 40 see- r

I The former record was made last *
year by his brother. Wilbur, .joint
inventor with him of the machine in f
"which both achievements were per- ?
formed at Lemnns, France, with Pro- J
feasor Painlsve. of the French Institute,
as passenger. Tluit flight was |
1 hour, U minutes and 3o seconds.
Wilbur was an eager sepctator of ,
Tuesday's t'.ight by his brother. j
The cheering wheih heralded the j
setting of a new mark in the conquest ]
of the air, was led by President Taft ,
in person, who had sat. an intensely j
interested spectator throughout the ,
flight, and who insisted at its conclusion
upon personally congratulating
the brothers upon their success.
This success was all-important to
the Wrights in that it completed the
first of two crucial tests of their
machine imposed upon them by the
"United States government?the so
i called "endurance test," which reipiirer
them to remain one hoar continuously
in the air with one passenger.
Orville did nearly 13 minutes
better than that, and could have kept
on indefinitely?three hours and a
half the limit imposed by the gasoline
capacity of the supply tank.
His devoted sister, Miss Katherine
Wright, who nursed Orville through
the period of his recovery from that
disaster, in which lie was hurt Sept.
17, 1903, and Lieut. Selfrdge was killed,
anxiously watched him from the
hed where the aeroplane is kept, and
when lie returned unhurt from his
flight, gripped him eagerly by the
arm, nestled her face against his
breast and said: "Bully for you,
brother: it was beautiful."
President Taft hastening to them
grasped the hand of both and said:
f "I congratulate you heartily, sir. It
was u great exhibition Von lw>a?
world's record."
The machine used in the test flight
consists of two planes, one fiive feet
above the other, and measuring 30 (
feet from tip to tip. f
The seat for the operator is placed )
in the centre of the lower plane, to ,
the left of the motor. The passenger
sits on the other side of the mo- {
tor. The motor itself is a product of 3
the Wright brothers and is a four- t
syliiuler, 30 horse-power, water cool- ?
ed gasoline engine. e
The weight of the machine includ- i
ing both operator and passenger, is a t
trifle under 1,200 pounds. e

Exercise For Fowls. E
There Is no doubt, that exercise Is l<
ery beneficial to fowls. Among hu- n
nans the lack of exercise combined P
vlth high feeding causes most trou- o
ilesome diseases, such as dropsy. !<
!"he same laws govern the animal l?
irorld. There are several things that 3'
xerclse does. One of these Is, it N
treveuts the birds becoming too fat,
vhich in turn destroys their usefuliess.
Xo matter how much a bird
fats, if it exercises it will keep the u
at from accumulating as the mus- u

vork excessively, and in doing this o
hey burn up a large amount of car- 51
>on, which comes from the food. Be- tl
ng burned up in this way, it does not b
iccumulate on the body and around c
he intestines in the form of fat. b
In the poultry house, whole grain c
ihould be fed in cut straw or chalt *
.prcad thickly. If it is fed in hay or b
whole straw the task of uncovering it t
8 too light. The finer tho straw the i
nore perfectly will it cover the gralnx l<
.hat is sown in It, and the mcrre difficult
will be the task of getting It out, g
which the hens must do kernel by
kernel. If poultry keepers would
follow this plan their fowls would lay 1
more egga, for the reason that they
would not be over-fat and would be in r
generally good health. The mere fact
of exercise does not cause the production
of eggs.

A Pair of Partridge Wyandottes. ,
Among the many beautiful and use
ful breeds of poultry which have t
made their appearance during the 1
past few years none surpasses the t
Partridge Wyandotte. 1
They are handsome, vigorous and \
large, combining all the good qualities
needed in the make-up of the
modern day money-maker of the poultry
yard.
The foundation stock of this breed
Is so well known and so popular that
we need say nothing in its praise, ths
Originals, the Silver Laced, the Buff
!ind the Golden Laced being recognized
as among the best of all our
standard breeds.
As can be seen the Partridge Wymdottes
have compact bodies, clean,
fellow shanks and beaks, low rose
wmbs and scarcely any wattles. They
ire Ideal fowl3 for cold climates, and
lannot be excelled in mild or warm
ocallties. They are good foragers,
>ut will stand confinement In close
luarters and are splendid layers dur?
ng the cold season.
Beef Scrap For Fowls.
Beef scrap Is indispensable for
'arded fowls, and for range fowls
ilso in winter. They only eat a
imall quantity after gradually feedng
It to them, even when kept In
heir reach all the time, but this litle
they must have to be profitable as
ayers or breeders. It, like the alfilfa,
may either be fed dry, and kept
n their reach v!l the time, or fed in
ihe mashes. Two heaped tablespoon!uls
to a dozen fowls per day. If fed
n mash, produce good results. When
Slvlng a mash feed give all that will
be eaten up clean, but none to be left.
?Mrs. J. C. Deaton, In Progressiva

An Important Appurtenance.
An Important article of furniture
for the poultry house la a shallow
box of four compartments, for oyster
shells, grit, mash and charcoal. This
should also be so placed that litter
Is not thrown into it. Also have a
box of road dust, with a sprinkling
of ashes, and occasionally a dust of
sulphur or insect powder. "An ounce
of prevention la worth a pound of
sure."
A Handsome Living.
Col. Roessle once said there may a
not be any very large fortunes made {
in poultry raising, but there Is a ,
landsome living for any one who has (
he love for the pursuit, the ability (
0 raise and care for the stock, and ?
1 small capital to start with. These j
hree things must go hand in hand; c
separately they cannot bring success. c
Moist Mash.
If moist mash is used?and we c
h#k best to use It where fowls are 1
on fined to small yards, and have ac- '
ess to no fresh green food? It may

A 8CHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE REV. R. W. M'LAUGHLIN.
t i
Theme: Truth, Service, Action.
Brooklyn, N. Y.?In tho Clinton
Avenue Congregational Church the
preacher, Sunday morning, was the
Rev. R. W. McLaughlin, of Grand
Rapids. Mich. His subject wa3:
"Truth, Service and Action." Among
other things he said:
It is said that the masterpieces of
literature are rarely, if ever^ the pure
creation of literary skill, but are usually
suggested by Borne well nigh
forgotten and seemingly incidental
event of the past. It is also Bald that
In the writing of such literature four
factors are essential, namely: Time,
location, characters and sequence of
events. And these four conditions of
literature are found in thiB historic
statement of fact as recorded in the
sixteenth chapter of Acts. It is a
Beemlngly unimportant statoment,
containing ten names, whose only
significance is in what once was or
may have been, rather than in what
now is. And the four factors are
here.
Location?the Phrygian region and
tho shore line of two continents, at
points marked on map as Troas an'd
Phillppi. Time?the middle of the
first century, while Caesar is still on
the throne and the empire rules the
world. Characters ? An unnamed
man, a devout woman, a ventriloquist
maiden, a group of Belfish traders, a
male magistrate, a frightened Jailor
and Saul of Tarsus. Sequence of
events?to show relation of Phrygla
to Troas and Troas to Phillppi, which
relation reveals the power of truth as
it gains possession of one life and
through that life disturbs and transforms
the world.
Ana in tno writing of the story
based on these well night forgotten
names, there might be three chapters:
Phrygla, or }oyall7 to the
truth. The narrative states that Paul,
starting forth on his second missionary
Journey, desires to enter the rich
and populous province of Asia, but is
forbidden by the Holy Spirit. Moving
forward, he come3 to the strange
province of Bethynla, and la again
forbidden to enter by the Spirit of
Jesus. And so hedged to the southward
and northward, he Journeys
westward until he reaches the shore
line of the Mediterranean at Troas.
And this historic statement of fact,
with Paul as the commanding personality,
suggests mystery enough for
the greatest 6tory. What does it
mean? A man, apparently as free as
the wind blowing over the Phrygian
highlands, yet not free. It certainly
means that here Is a man not free.
He hears a voice, though he cannot
see the form of the one speaking,
even as a bird's song is heard, though
It Is unseen because hidden by the
foliage. And thi3 voice Is for him the
voice of truth. It is called In one
verse the Holy Spirit, and in another
verse the Spirit of Jesus, but by whatever
name called. It means only one
thing, and that Is the truth of God
reaching for his inner life. And as
the truth of God It is authoritative.
And more than this, it is final; authority
for truth is always final to
the honest man. And as final authoritative
truth It has power to send him
out over the highways of the Roman
Emniro with ?iiiiiim? ? * - J
, .. ..M uut/.iiuc uuauuuU. AUU
this is chapter one in every earnest
life?allegiance to the truth. A willingness
to follow the truth wherever
it may lead. It may close Asia and
Bethynia and drive one on to Troas,
hut not until a man is willing to say
It fortifies my soul
To know that whether I perish,
Truth is so?
Is he able to write chapter one in the
Book of Life.
Troas?a vision of service. As is
true of every good story, chapter two
begins where chapter one ends. Paul
enters Troas, meets an unnamed man,
has a vision in the night, in which
ho sees on the distant shores of
Europe a person pleading for help. It
would be interesting were it possible
to interpret the feelings of this man
as he enters Troas. Its picturesque?
ness, located on a bluff overlooking
the Aegean Sea, across whose blue
gleam could be seen in vague outline
the shore of Europe, and its commerce.
The tangled spars at the
docks, and the heavily ladened, gaunt
camels in the streets, and it*
reminders. Not far away the tomb
of Achilles and the marble throne of
Xerxes, and the remainder of Homer's
genius In "the ringing plains of windy
Troy." But of more Interest still, the
people crowding the streets. And out
of the crowd there comes one to enter
the circle of Paul's friendship. Is It
too much to think of the two men
sitting on the bluff during the hours
of the day and conversing about the
deep things In life? But the conversation
ends as darkness comes
down upon the earth. The men separate,
and Paul, reaching his lodgings,
Is soon lost in slumber. And In
his sleep he dreams, and sees the
friend of the afternoon, now standing
yonder In Macedonia, and pleading
with him to help. And thus Is chapter
two In every earnest life.
Allegiance to truth In Phrygla
leads to a vision of service In Troas.
For truth Is more than an abstract
Idea, or a major and minor premise In
a cold syllogism. Truth Is a gleam,
a suggestion, an illumination. It
fires the intellect and kindles the Imagination.
Phillppl?region of action. In
Phillppl Paul finds Lystra and her
household. Soon he meets a ventriloquist
maiden owned by a group of
SPlfloh
viougid, ut-nounces their business;
Is seized, beaten, thrown Into
jail. In the night he sings and prays.
And then follows the story of the conversion
of the jailor and Paul's freedom
the next morning.
Dut why did not Paul remain In
Troas and meditate upon his dream?
Why does the narrative say, "And
straightway?" There are two answers:
First, life at Its best is lived
In the region of action, not In the
realm of dreams. The historian In
Acts has caught the meaning of this.
For he gives one verse to the dream
at Troas and forty-three verses and
three books of the New Testament to
the Recording of the action following
the tlretm. The second answer Is, a
man( mast go from his dream In order
to keep It. The thought unexpressed

EXPOSITION.?I. Christian Con- the
dnct Toward Those Who Are Over rar
Them in the Lord, 12, 13. Paul was t. ?
an apostle and had the authority of ,e
an apostle, but he was absolutely tfle
free from the domineering spirit. He *bt
besought men rather than command- thi:
ed them (cf. ch. 2:6, 7). His exam- int.
pie is worthy of consideration and wo
imitation by all ecclesiastical rulers ,
to-day. While all believers are breth- *
ren, It Is the appointment of God "er
that eome be "over" others. The the
duty of those who are "over" others ula
Is to labor among them (the word for dou
"labor" Is a very strong word; it no
means not merely to work, but to .
work hard) and to admonish them. .
Those whom they admonish are un- in
der obligation to esteem them very ent
highly (R. V.) in love for their anc
work's sake. the
II. Christian Conduct Townrd All equ
Men at All Times, 14, 15. The "dis- ^a\
orderly" (particularly those who
would not work, cf. 2 Thess. 3:6, 11;
1 Thess. 4:11), they should "admon- *ee;
Ish," "the faint-hearted" they should lati
"encourage," "the weak" (those splr- nor
Itually weak) they should "support." whi
The word for "support" is a very ex- a
pressive one. It means to take hold !
of so as to support (cf. Gal. 6:1, 2; w?'
Ro. 15:1; 1 Cor. 9:22). "Long suf- wh<
farlnor tnnroall " htv? J? *? 1"
.?O > >. i licit: is uu oe- ?ei\
llever who needs not the exercise of nee
patience "toward" him; there Is none
to whom a believer should not show
It." Under no circumstances must we
pay back the evil that any other man "V
does us (cf. Ro. 12:17; 1 Pet. 3:9; m,
2:23; Luke 23:34; Acts 7:60). We
should "always follow after (as a
matter of eager pursuit) that which ~
Is gocra, one toward another," and not B
only so, but "toward all," even the n*8'
bitterest Infidel and persecutor. In
III. The Will of God. 10-18. Ji
Three thlngB every believer should do bus
all the time?rejoice, pray and give
thanks, this Is God's will In Christ ^
Jesus to usward. A Christian should _
rejoice every day and every hour (cf.
Phil. 4:4. 6; Rom. 14:17; 12:12;
Acts 5:41; Jas. 1:2). A Christian h f
should pray, not Intermittently, but and
constantly. Every day should be a C
"day of prayer" (cf. Eph. 6-18) Phil. ai1;r
4:6). Only as he prays without ceasIng
will the Christian rejoice always. . .
In everything, absolutely everything, '
should the Christian give thanks (cf.
Eph. 5:20).
IV. Entire Ranctificntion, 10-24. two
When any one receives the Holy kill
Spirit he receives a holy fire (cf. R
Matt. 3:11; Acts 2:3; 2 Tim. 1:6, R. fixn
V., Marg.). This fire should not be "m,
quenched. We quench this fire in
ourselves by not yielding to the fire
that burns within. We quench this
fire in others when we throw cold
water upon them as they seek to obey
the prompting of the Holy Spirit. ^
Some in Thessalonlca thought lightly vvi.
or me utterances of others who spoke I
under the Holy Spirit's Influence. Yet I
they must not accept every man's
claim to speak by the Spirit. They j,
should "prove all things" (cf. 1 Jno.
4:1). They should seek to find out Bi"(
whether the claim was true or false, exp
Every claim to speak by the Spirit tap*
should be tested by a comparison t|iel
with the teachings of the written ?
word (cf. Isa. 8:20; Acts 17:11; Gal.
1:8, 9). No man's claim to author- <<
Jty and infallibility should be accept- ?
ed merely because he makes the
claim. That which stands the test
and is found to be good we should "
"hold fast" (cf. Luke 8:15, R. V.; 1 croi
Cor. 11:2, R. V.; Heb. 2:1). On the
other hand, that which proves bud,
"every form of evil" (R. V.), should
be abstained from. This twentieth
verse iu constantly misinterpreted to
mean to abstain from all appearance C
of doing evil If we can without doing per*
actual evil in order to avoid the mere Nor
appearance of doing evil (cf. 2 Cor. it ?
8:20, 21). Nevertheless it is not the q
outward appearance, but the heart e
and its purposes at which God looks
(cf. 1 Sam. 18:7; Luke 16:15). Man
consists of three parts, the spirit, re- *acelved
directly from God and linking "
him to God (cf. Gen. 2:7; 1 Cor. 15: and
45); the soul, i. e., the animal soul was
(cf. Jude 19, R. V., and Marg. and fM]
Greek), and the body. Paul's prayer OUB
is that each part of this threefold d
man be "preserved entire, without ?
blame." ThiB means the absolute
perfection of the whole man (cf. Phil. *n<?
3:20, 21). When is this absolute *ltc
perfection to be attained? "At the upc
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" stoi
(cf. ch. 3:13; 1 Jno. 3:2). And now ^he
follows, it. we take it in Its connection,
one of the most cheering statements
In the Bible: "Faithful is he that fP
calleth you, who will also do It." Do 1 1
what? Do what Paul has Just prayed ca*'
?sanctify us wholly and preBevue our
spirit and soul and body entire. The beg
pledge of this is not our faithfulness, I fs
but His. What He has called us to
IHe Himself will also perfect (cf. Phil.
1:6; Ro. 8:30). "Faithful" means ?
true to Hio "
_ u,u. nuai tie nai "_
promised He will do (cf. Jno. 10:27- ?
29; 1 Cor. 1:8. 9, 10. 13; 1 Jno. 1: feel
9). It we would have hearts filled 8&1
with hope and strength, we should
look neither at our foes nor at our- bef
selves, but to our faithful God (cf. j c
Nu. 13:30; 14:8,9). Never discount exc
I a promise of God, no matter how stu- t
j pendous It seems. "Faithful la Iia,
, who also will do It." ,n 1

Are the Schools at Fault?
Hie country is gaining on the city
tidily, but not fast enough; and
reason is just this one of ignotce.
The schools are doing all
y can to spoil farm boys, giving
m all sorts of information except
>ut what constitutes farm life, in
3 way the best of them are tumbled
0 the city chaos, and it is hard
rk to counteract this drift, and
ate the tired-out city folk in garis.
We are gaining, however, and
percentage of the increase eft' poption
that faces country ward is
ible that of 1890. Huge cities are
longer needed. We do not need
concentrate wealth or to use it
the bulk. We have got our huge
erprises that required syndicates
1 trusts, off our hands; and now
great problem is to secure a more
lable distribution of the wealth wo
re acquired. We must also vastly
rease our production in order to
d the enormously growing popuon;
and at least one-half of our
i-producers, who now make up
it is called the laboring class, and
rood many of the capitalists as
I, must be got into a position
?rc they can create food for them es,
and add to the big surplus
ded for others.?E. P. Powell, in
Outing Magazine for August.
