Beginning to ripen Just as the strawberry season is over, a supply of this fruit can b<> ktfpt up fur three or four weeks in the hottest part of the summer, when, owinj to its refreshing character. It ia very much appreciated when eaten raw with cream and sugar, and is used in this way in large quantities. Autumn-bearing varieties can now be obtained also, from which fruit can be gathered in September and until severe frosts In October. Not only is the raspberry popular in the raw condition, but it is viry generally used for canning and preserving. Rasp- berries when made into raspberry vinegar makes a very refreshing drink which is especially appreciated in the country. Tho raspbarry is a native fruit, and is found from the Atlantic to the Coast Range of British Columbia and extends very far north, being found in the delta of the Mackenzie river within the Arctic Circle and also in the Yukon. The r?ason why most of the cultivated varieties are not hardy in the coldest parts of Canada with- out protection is, doubtless, because they were originated from the more southern forms of the wild raspberry and in som? cases came from a cross between Ihj N*:itive and European raspberry. Gradually, however, new varieties ar being originated, in Can adi and tha Northern States which are proving much hardier than thf older sorts. Th black raspberry, while also n native, has not as extensive a rangf north .a the red ami is not so hardy a fruit. It is found throughout East- ern aind-9, and in Dritlsh Columbia, but its northern limit in Ontario ia not. much beyond the Great Lakes. Like the red haspberry, most of the cultivated varieties of the black rasp- berries have come from the more southern forms of the wild species, hence up to the present none of the varieties In commerce are as hardy as varieties would probably be if de- veloped from the wl'.d species from the coldest, parts of Canada where it grows wild. The purple raspberry is a hybrid between the red and the black and is occasionally found wild. There are both suckling and non-suckling var- ieties, but the two which have been most planted, namely, the Columbian and Shaffer, are non-suckering. Soil. The red raspberry succeeds best in a deep, rich, loamy, cool, moist soil. On light soil and in soils which are liable to dry out in summer the crop will be much lessened in a dry tim-, the bushes become very subject to red spiders also, and thu growth of canes will not be strong, und hence the crop will .suffer tlie next season. The black cap raspberry will suc- ceed better on light soils than the red raspberry, and it will not do all well in cold soils. It needs .1 warmer soil than the red raspberry. Plant*. The raspberry grows from tho same rout year after year, although differ- ent canes are produced each year. The canes which grow one year bear fruit the next and then die and new ones take their place.^ In the case of red raspberries the^fct plants for a new plantation are Tfte suckers which spring up around or near the o'.d plants in the spring. These are al- lowed to grow throughout the season and then dug up and planted out early in September after the ground be- comes moist, or planted early in tho spring. Plants should b? cut back to within six or eight inches of the ground at the time of planting. The blackcap and most of the purple-cane raspberries do not make suckers as do the red, but they multiply by tips. Long slender growths are thrown out shortly after the fruiting season is over. la nature where they are more or less protected theso take root, but in the open field where they are exposed to wind It is necessary to hold the tips down with a little soil, when they will soon root. The plants arc left until fall or early spring, when they aro dug up. If ordered from a distance, tips which have hp.d a year's growth an; the best for plant- ing. Care should be taken not to plant blackcaps too deep. IT the roots are covered with more than two inches of soil they are liable to rot. Preparation of the Soil*. The better the soil Is prepared be- fore planting the better the results will be". Deep plowing and liberal manuring are important. A hoed crop the previous season will help ID m.i ko good conditions for r.ipid growth. If the sub-soil Is hard it l should be loosened to enable the roots I to get dawn where there is a regular I supply of moisture, which is inipor- I taut in dry weather. , Planting, Cultivating and Pruning. The suckering varieties of raspbur- { ries should be planted In rows six feet i apart or even as far as eight feet, es- | pechlly on the prairies where the canes have to be entirely covered in i winter to ensure their not being kill- ed, and three fet apart in the row, or another good method is to plant in hills five feet apart each way, when they may bo kopt cultivated both 1 ways. As it is important to have a perfect stand, a good plan if one has planty of plants Is to set two plants close together in a hole ao that there is likely to be at leant one growth The plants of suckering varieties are set four or five inches deep. Black- caps are planted about the same dis- tanco apart but shallower as stated before. As soon as possible after planting the ground should be culti- vated, but at the end of the season the canes may be reduced by good cultivation, but at the end of the second season the canes may be re- duced to four or six of Uie strongest. Suckers are cultivated or hoed out. There will be a little fruit, the year after plantins, but not until the year after that will there be a fair crop of fruit, from which time tho plantation should bear good crops of fruit for six to eight years.

It is not always wise to teach a horse to play tricks, as is pioved by a story told by an English army of- ficer. John Leech's inimitable circus horse that insisted on sitting down with his rider whenever he heard a band play was the prototype of a horse belonging to the officer who, in a weak moment, had taught It to rear up and "salaam" whenevr lie leaned forward to make a bog. It waa all very pretty when the of- ficer was out riding and met any lady ot his acquaintance, but it became a nuisance when he was out pig stick- ing in India. He would lean for- wari to meet Ute ruh ot a oharg- the beast on end just at the moment' when the man's .safety depended on his taking a true and deadly aim with his spear point. The consequence' was that the animal's hind legs' showed many scars fforn boars' tusks, and he was lucky that he did not end his career with his body ripped open. The officer had, too, at one time a find but somewhat nervous charger. One day on a parade the mount sud- denly gave way with the officer and quietly lay down. The rider thought for a moment he was ill, but on rous- ing him he immediately sprang to his feet again, quite fit aud well. A week or later when riding with a friend they stopped for a moment to admire the view, when down the horse went. It was evident to the officer that he had been trained to lie down at a given signal, but tlm man never could discover for the Jifo of him what that signal was.

TORONTO JESUS TEACHING FORGIVENESS. Lesson Matt. 18: 21-35 Golden Text. "If ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Fath- er will also forgive you" (Matt. 6: 14). Historical Setting. Time A. D. 29. Place Capernaum. Daily Readings. The Lesson Text. 21 Then came Peter and said to him. Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, anil I forgive him? un- til seven times? 22. Jesus saitli unto him. I say not unto thee. Until seven times; but, until seventy times seven. 23. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him. that owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But forasmuch as he had not wherewith to pay. his lord csinmaMd- od him to he sold, and his wife, and children, und all that he had. anil payment to be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down und worshipped him. saying. Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, re- leased him, and forgnvo him tho debt. 2S But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings; a'lii lie laid hold on him, and took him by tho throat, saying, I'ny what thou owcat, -'.> So Ills fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying. Have pat- ience with iim, ami I will pay thee. 30 And he would not; but went and cast him into prison, till lie 'ionic! p:iy thai which was due. 31 So when Ills fallow-servants aw what was done, they were ex- 'eodlngly sorry, and came and told unto tliL>ir lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord called him unto him, and sailli to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me: C3 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I hud mercy on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and lelivored him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. 35 So shall also niy heavenly Father do unto you. if yu forgive not -very one his brother from your hearts. Comments Verse 21. Note that this lesson Jeals wiih brothers, whether offend- :iig ag.iinst. Peter was probably .utting before Jesus an experience if his own. Seven times seemed a groat many times to forgive. Verse 22T\Thls saying places the mutter ot forgiveness beyond com piiiatiou. Verse 23. Thf lesson is that inas- much as God has forgiven us the un payable debt we owe t;i Him. so w must forgive our brothers I lie trifling offenses they have committed against us. Verso 24. Ten thousand talent;- : 'presented the enormous sum of at 'IMS: two million five hundred thous- and pounds. Verae 2fi.

The lesson here \ that fiod gives even more than we ask. Versa 28. The servant's actions show that ho had been Insincere. A hundred shillings represented an in- significant sum. Verse 29. These word* sr the very same as those used by me other debtor, who is here tho creditor. Verse 30. This attitude of suppli- cation did not remind him of his own craving for pity. "The creditor in- WEEKS'' ing boar with hta spear up would go a packet of the pills always oa band. PRICE 25 1 flicta a severer punishment upon bis fellow-servant tor the sake of $15 than his own master had threatened to inflict for the sake of millions." Verses 31, 32. God freely forgives us of sins committed again.-.! Him- self, but the sin of refusing to for- give is with Him unforgivable. Verses 33-35. The impossibility ot payment on the part of this unfor- giving servant indicates that there are sins which even God can not for- give unless the conditions of for- giveness are complied with. Illustrated Truth. In his relations with God, the average person has reasons to shrink from being paid back in his own coin (v. 35). Illustration. In the early stages of the paper shortage it was the custom of aeveral houses to help each other out by way of loaning paper stock when an emergency was to be met. I-Mnally it damned upon one company that one of its neighbors was paying for its loans in inferior, and some- times defective, paper. The man- ager, to whose attention, the Matter was brought, gave orders that when paptr of this kind came in it was to be put aside, and that hereafter it was to be used in "accommodating'' the house from whence it came. The latter soon dfscaver; d this, and ceased to borrow. Topics for Research and Discussion I. A Great Debt (vs. 21-25). 1. With whom does this lesson deal? 2. What is the teaching concerning for- giveness? 3. What was the value of the sum in verse 24? II. A Graet Forgiveness (vs. 26, 27). 4. How could this servant pay- such an enormous sum? 5. What is the lesson of vorso 27? 11. A Great Forgiveness (vs. 26, 30). 6. what is indicated by the servant's actions In verse 28? 7. What kind of creditor does a dis- honest debtor usually make? IV. A Great Punishment (vs. -31- 35). 8. \V~hat sill is unforgivable? 9. Why can not God forgive the persistently alnful and unforgiving? 10. What benefit or satisfaction do the unforgiving get out of refusing to forgive? 11. Which takes the more character, the resentment or the for- giveness of an offene? FREQUENT HEADACHE A SURE SIGN THAT THE BLOOD IS WATERY AND IMPURE. People with thin blood aro much more subject to 'headaches than full- bloodod persons and the form of umifinia that afflicts growing girls Is almost always accompanied by headaches, together with disturbance of tho digestive orguiis. Whenever you have constant or recurring headaches and pallor of the face, they show that the blood Is thin and your efforts should be di- rected toward building up your blood. A fair treatment witli Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do this effectively, and the riiJi red blood made by these pills will remove the headache. More disturbances to tho health are caused by Wielr blood than most people have any idea of. When your blood is impoveitfEiied, the nerves suffer from lack of nourishment, and you may be troubled with insomnia, neuritis, neuralgia or sciatica. Mus- cles subject to strain are undernour- ished aud you may havo muscular rheumatism or lumbago. If your blond is thin and you begin to show symptoms of any of these disorders, try building up the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as the blood is restored to its normal con- dition every symptom of tho trouble will disappear. There aro more people wiio own their presnt state of good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pill* th.in to any oilier medicine, and most of them do not hesitate to say so. You can get Dr. Williams' Pink I'llls through any dnalers in medicine i>r by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Ilrockvllle, Ont.

VARIETY, TIME SPICE OF LIFE. In tropical climates white men lose their "go,"' initiative and effic- iency. Too many of them actually degenerate, morally and physically. The strange thing is that this is not due to the great heat so much as to the unchanging climate, with its utter lack of stimulating atmospheric- con- ditions. It is in variable climates like our own that the world's beat work has been done. And by look- ing at a globe you will see that moat of the big centres of human activity lie in the same parallel of latitude. The explanation seems to be that un- changing extreme heat or cold robs both mind anil body of keenness and vitality, whereas frequent changes of temperature supply man with those electric tonics which make for health and efficiency.
