Wo0llen Factories in Michigan
The Detroit Tribune has an article which
emhodies some interesting siatisliss re.
specling the production of WOOL and the
manufacture Of woolen fabrics in the State
Of Michigan. II SAYS, Michigan has
gone into the growing Of wool AT rapid
rate, aud is destined TO keep on increasing.
Last year the surplus that was exported
was overl ,200, ,00p pounds; and The small
manufacturing establishments scattered
throughout The Stale afe estimated 10 have
consumed 100000 pounds more. This
season the amount exported will moi fall
short Of ] ,60O, ZOO pounds; aud. al the same
ratio anolher year, il will reach 1000. 600.
Ata far estimate, says the Tribune, there
are million sheep within the State. In
1910 there were but s9.9si. The Tri-
bune urges upon the people Of Michigan
The importance eolesiahlishing large wolen

Lar CHILDREN SINe.-All children can
learn to sing il they commence in season.
In Germany, every child is taught TO use It's
voice while young. In their schools all Join
in singing as regular exercise. as much as
they attend to the study Of geography and
in their churches singing is not confined to
the choir, who sit apart from the others,
perhaps in one corner Of the house, but
there is vast tide Of incense going forth to.

Old Friends.


The changes Of time, place and circum.
stance all contribute most effectualy aud in
a thousand ways 10 alter the relations we
sustain to others. Incidental circumstances,
new employments, new interests, new social
relations, ofien deprive friendships of the
longest standing aud the most intimate char
acter, Of the attention which is essential to
their very existence, leaving them TO die
natural death. Protracted absence, distance
OF place and lapse OF time, especially when
epistolary commerce is inconyenient, hard
ly ever fail 10 quench the ardor Of any at
tachment, save the magic Love which knows
neither distance nor lapse Of time, oyerleap-
ing the one and overlooking the other. But
History records few instances Of friendship
like this. The alterations and fluctuations
Of social life too often become the means
Of changing affection 10 dislike, and friend
ship to hatred. Yet the state Of the mans
or ofthe woman's mind is little to be envied,
who does not cherish green spot in his
heart in memory of old friendships long ago
lost, sundered, broken--who does not keep
alive in his heart Of hearts a single taper on
the tomb OF old loves and friendships, Of the
Joys and SORROWS and friends Of by gone
days.
They who would consign TO deep oblivion
all the past, because il haunts them, who
would break the last link that binds them
to their former existence. should remember
that thus they stake their whole happiness
upon the present. Like gambler who risks
his whole fortune upon single throw Of
the dice, il they lose they have nothing left.
They are morally and socially bankrupt.
sIf storms should break, uncheered they go,
A dreary waste before them"
Yet does il not sometimes happen that we
would give worlds, were they ours 10 give,
10 recall the memories, sincere and com
plete. Of one old lovef Does il not some
lines happen thai amid the revolutions afihe
social world, we meet again an old friend
as one meets with a losl treasure Aud
how different The feelings with which we
greet such friend, # conscious that we
have been true TO him, from those where
our conscience accuses US of having been
forgeiful and treacherous lit is good to
be always patient in well doing, il is good
also 10 remember always all who have been
once dear 10 u.s. The memory Of such at.
iachmenis, OF the kind feelings and kind Of
fees which composed them. forms mos
important part Of our social being. And
where from lime 10 time, after longer oil
shorter intervals, we meet such friends, al
ships meet on the wide ocean. how pleasant

johnson was Of the opinion that we shouls
keep friendship in constant repair, by sup
pl,ing the places Of those who are lost, verl
imuch perhaps as committee or club fill
vacancies by reelection. But in our opin
ion, they are undeserving Of new friend
who are capable Of forgetting old ones.

To Boys AND GiRLs.--Never tell whole
lie, or a half lie, or any part Of lie.--
Many boys, who know well enough what =
sneaking. dirty thing il is TO lie, will yet
twist the truth, or deceive little Bit
This is about as bad, and good deal more
cowsrdly, than plump falsehood. II a
boy does something wrong, either from igno-
rance, careiessness, or accident-and then
tells one half truth and one half lie about
it--he might almost as well have told whole
untruth, tina, he didn't do il at ALL Now
see how the spirited. manly, true-hearted,

truths---ihese which are deliberately made
up-stories about people---or small stories
magnifed into big ones-prove the teller of
them 10 be a most worthless, impure, and
mean person. The liar is indeed despica-
bic both TO God and good men. On the
other hand, nothing is more beautiful than
strictly irulh-teIling person-one who
never varies from the truth-who is open,
candid, and above deceit. To become so,
boy should strive hard-should determine
to become so-and he ,ciH become so. Be-

The IMPROVEMENT OF HoRsEs is a sub.
jec, that receives TOO little attention. The
cheapest sire is often used, and, almost ey-
cry worthless jade of mare is used as q
breeder. when colts or horses are 10 good
demand.
In many cases, a colt OF an excellent race
would cost, in the beginning, not more than
ten or twelve dollars extra; and this would
frequently add fifty or sixty dollars to the
value of the full grown animal. Good blood
stock will sell, at maturity, more than twice
as high as poor breed. Then IL would be
good economy TO raise the best races only
even il the extra cost, IN the beginning, is
equal 10 the expense of keeping the young
animal until he is it for labor.
Why is SO little attention paid 10 horses
by our agricultural societies, and why are
SO few seen az our cattle shows. uhile The
horse is selling in the market at higher
price than any other animalf We seldom
see more than half dozen horses at any Of
our shows. and frequently there is not one
on exhibition. This shows a deficiency
somewhere. Either sufficient encourage
meni is not given for good horses. or there
are but few animals worthy Of being shown
for premium.
The very high price Of good horses should
encourage every one who raises this stock
to pay great attention to the breed. This
would be economy. He Should exercise in
ielligence. and act upon the principles o
science, in the beginning, and not depent
wholly on hard labor for gain. +.
