MI George L. Vose, of Maine, has published
very excellent railroad manual, in which are
emOouleu some curious statistics. Forty years
age therG were in the United States but twenty
three miles of railway; now there are fftv.thrse
thousand; in the world one hundred and f;fteen
thousand II all the railroad travelling done in
tue United States in one year was by one per
son the actual distance accomplished would car
ry that person journey equal to twenty.six
times the space between the earth and the sun.
This IS calculated upon a basis of nine hundred
million OF passengers annually. One passenger

because they get over-fed, and it is in an
important respect contrary to their habits.

TWO EsSENTIALTHING S-KNOWLEDGE OF
ONE 5 BUSINESS, AND MEANS TO APP
PLY THAT KNOWLEDGE

TWO EssENTIALTHINGS- OF
ONE BUSINESS, AND MEANS TO APP
PLY THAT KNOWLEDGE
To be successful there are two things
which the young farmer cannot dispense
with. One is a fair knowledge of his
business, and the other is money enough
to carry on that business to the best ad-
vantage. Without one, the other will
be of little use and without the latter
the former can be il-applied
IF the young farmer have not some
good training he will make many a blum
| der, and repeat many an experiment too
| often made before, and thus waste years
Of precious time, and learn only at last,
as he grows old, that much of his life has
been wasted Therefore let him profit
by the experience OF others What a
mistake it is to enter any business or
profession without learning what others
know about it. The so-called physician
thus leads his patients to sickness and
DEATH and the quasi lawyer his clients
to beggary and ruin
While all kinds of useful labor are
honorable. yet the kind and quantity of
knowledge necessary for each varies wide
". The shoemaker is useful artizan,
and We could not do we'll without him
but while we value his skill, we have far
more admiration for that of the surgeon,
who performs SO many delicate and diff
cult operations OF the body. So too,
while he who digs the soil is an honored
laborer, how differently we regard the
enlightened farmer-the man who earn
estly endeayors to understand the laws
of nature-the man who knows that near
ly all the sciences are more or less inti-
mately connected with the great art and
science Of aericulture-that art of arts
and science of sciences which is the foun-
dation of commerce and manufacturers,
and which, intelligently followed, is the
true source of all national wealth and
for the young farmer to have knowl-
edge of his business
Then with that knowledge, but with
cut the necessary capital to apply it on
his own account. he had better work for.
or in partnership with another, till from
his savings or profits. he can lay by
enough to farm proftably for himself
1t is terribly toilsome and discouraging
to beginner to try to come through"
with inadequate means. He will be
panied to see many thing which ought
to be done, left undone for want of
money. He will not be enabled to profit
by labor-saving machinery. and great will
be his loss of time and peace of mind
Then let him ''look before he leaps"
and not start a0ithout knowledge of his
business, and the means of applying it.

Counting One Hundred.

A Danbury man named Reubens recent.
" saw a statement that counting one
hundred, when tempted to speak al
angry word would save good deal OF
trouble. This statement sounded a little
singular at first, the more he read it over
the more favorably he became impressed
with it, and finally concluded to adopt it.
Next door to Reubens lives a man who
has made five distinct attempts in the
past fortni 5ht to secure a dinner of green
peas by the first of July, and every time,
he has been retarded by ReGbens' hens.
The next morning after Reubens made
his resolution, this man found his fifth
attempt to have miscarried. Then he
called on Reubens. He said a:
s'What in thunder do you mean by
letting your hens tear up my garden %
Reubens was tempted to call him a
mud snoot, new name just coming
into general use, but he remembered his
resolution, put down his rage, and meek
ly observed
Gone, two, three, four, five, six, seven
eight
Then the mad neighbor who had been
cycling this answer with a great deal of
suspicion, broke in again:
''Why don't you answer my question,
you rascal %
But still Reubens maintained his
equanimity, and went on with the test {:
mine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
fourteen, fifteen, SIXTEEN"
Tho mad neighbor stared harder than
ever.
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, TWEEN
ty, twenty-one-"
You're mean skunk, said the mad
neighbor, backing toward the fence.
Reubens' face flushed at this charge,
but he only said
twenty-five, twenty-three, twenty
four, twenty-five, 'twenty-six-''
At this figure the neighbor got on the
fence in some haste, but suddenly think
lug of his peas, he opened his mouth
''You mean low lived rascal for two
cents could knock your head over a
barn, and [ would"
''Twenty-seyen, twenty-eight," inter-
rupted Reuben, twenty thirty,
two, thirty tree"
Here the neighbor broke for the house,
and entering it, violently slammed the
door behind him but Reubens did not
dare to let up the enumeration, and so
he stood out there alone in his own yard,
and kept on counting, while his burning
cheeks and flashing eyes eloquently af-
firmed his judgment. When he got up
into the eighties his wife cameto thedoor
in some alarm
'.Why, Reubens, man, what is the
matter with You ?" she said. ssDo come
into the house,
Didn't let up. She came out to him,
and chung trembling to him, but he only
looked into her eyes, and said
''Ninetythree, ninety-four, ninety-five
ninety-six, ninety-seven, nine-eight,
ninety-nine, one hundred-go into the
house old woman, OF I'll bust ye"
And she went. Ne,os.

TO CURE DOGS OF KILLING SHEEP

IF you have good dog that kills or
runs sheep, and you don't want to shoot
him, build pen 16 feet square, and run
pole across the top, and chen pick the
largest and oldest buck of the flock, put
him in the pen, get your dog, with a
collar around his neck. and rope to draw
up over the middle of the pole, so that
the dog will have his fore feet swinging
off the ground few inches. Get out of
the pen, and let the buck give him sew
eral good butts, and then turn him loose.
This is sure cure. [ tried it on my
fathers dogs when 1 was a boy never

what shall we do with our Daushters.

In answer to Mrs Livermore's late
lecture on the above important question,

kitchen, the dining room and parlor.

hundred cents.

intemperate and dissolute young men.

Teach them not to paint or powder.
Teach them not to wear false hair.
Teach them to say no and mean 1t or
yes, and stick to it.
Teach them to regard morals, not the
money of the beaux.
Teach them the essentials of life

suitable time let them marry.
Truly upon your teaching depends in
great measure the veal or woe of their
after life
