about two bushels per acre in the wheat.
This year we raked the stuble with a

That great educator, profound thinker. and
vigorous writer, Herbert Spencer, has wisely
said: AS vigorous health and its accompany
ing high spirits are larger elements of happi-
ness than any other things whatever, the
teaching how to maintain them, is a teaching
that yields to no other whatever" This is
sound sentiment, and one great want of the
present age is the popularization of physioloe-
ical, hygienic and medical science. No subject

Tilton at H0me-What He Says OF
Beecher,s Evidence.

The New York correspondent of the
Utica Observer has been visiting Theo-
dore Tilton in his literary workshop in
Brooklyn. After describing the con-
fused appearance of the room, the litter
of manuscripts, books, and papers of
reference, to be seen on all hands, the
writer continues:
Here is letter bearing postmark of
Durand, ILL.,, and date Of October. It has
never been opened. "Will you answer it
if you read it!'' queries Tilton with a
smile. Certainly" was the reply.

daughter, requesting Tilton' photograph.

The post.mark is Montclair, N. J. ''From
one Of the chicks,'' says Tilton, and sure
enough is. Dear Papa: We all want
to see you very much. We had such a

have seen moisture in the plaintiff s eyes
almost every day since the trial began.
But this was the first time in months
that Tilton gave way to anything like
emotion. The mans love for his chill
dren is firm and abiding. His comfort
now, he tells me, is to go down into the
parlor, and close his eyes, and hear his
devoted daughter Florence play half a
dozen Of his favorite airs. But, with all
his love for his children, believe his az

thing else. l know there is seeming con-

The Old Man with the Saws.

evening, was very quiet lot of passen'
gers, and among them man about sixty
five years old, having four or five hand
saws under his arm, apparently a
saw-fler. Opposite the old man sat a
woman with young babe in her arms,
and presently broad grin covered the
old fellows face, and he nodded to the
child and said:
"Inever loved any thing as love
children can hardly keep from biting
his little ears -
HeWaited moment and then asked:
"Hcw old is that beautiful child, mad
am?''
Eight months,' she replied.
''Only eight months! Why, I've seen
children twenty-five years old who didn't
know as much as that child does [ had
child drowned in bar'l once, and you
don't know, madam, how it foored me! -
He looked around the car for moment
and then said, reading from the card:
"Change to the amount Of 81 will be
furnished by the driver. Well, that's
liberal enough. Hehasn't offered me any
yet, but suppose old customers will be
served first.'''
The driver counted noses, saw that he
was fare short, and he jingled the bell.

old man, standing up and looking out:

She refused to trust the infant off her

and he sighed as he said:

handles, held his hat in his hand, and his
eye catching sign on grocery, he ex-
claimed:
"Sweet milk for sale here! That makes
me think, madam--do you bring that
child up on the bottle p
Her face grew very red, and she made
no reply. The old fellow looked his saws
over, one by one, laid them down, and
walking to the front end of the car he
picked up basket containing meat and
asked:
"Does any one own this meat?''
A woman made melton to signify that
it was her property, and he uncovered
the basket and called out:
"Pork chops and small piece of veal.
People who want to eat veal can gnaw
away, but don't want any! What are
pork chops a pound, MADAME
She did not answer, and the old man
picked up his saws, and asked:
'Does any one here know the name OF
the man who invented saws?'
No one answered and he pulled open
the door and continued:

He stepped off the car, slipped and fell
fat in the ditch, while his saws flew ir
every direction. As the car passed on he

WHAT A VISITOR SAYS.

Our talented friend, DIR. w. C.
johnson, tie editor of that excellent
paper, the Western Methodist, as
many of our readers know, says this
about his visit to Milan recently. In
the name Of our people, We thank
him. We htpe he may come again,
and often, and may he always return
home with "a long list of subscri-
bers." We VII try to make him feel
cat home" always:
The evening train carried us safely
to Milan, the scat of the Paris Dis
trict Conference. 1t was our first
visit, but not the last, we hope.
Though late at night, we were met OH
arriving, by Brother Dunaway, who
claimed us as his guest. We were
grateful, and at his hotel we had a
delightful sojourn, just such as many
a preacher has enjoyed merchants
to our brother and his good wife!
And at the residences of Brothers
Dickinson, Anderson and Dilleshaw,
and Sister Scott, we tested most IA
vorably the Inequalities of Milan
and likewise as the guest of our good
Brother Wade-our confrere of the

place, too, for its religion and NOR

upon the people-the pastor, Rev.

cious season during the year. We
found the District Conference in SIS

excellent spirit prevailing. The pre-
siding elder, Rev. j. H. Evans, filled
the chair like Bishop. A good
place is this chair in which to serve
an apprenticeship before elevation to
the Episcopaey, and this will be shown
hereafter. The district is in fine con-
dition spiritually-improving fnan-

spect. We have no space for par

Many, many thanks for a long list

of this trip, but space fails. Monday
