ALARGE MoUTH.-She led him to sofa,
and in deep bass voice called him her souls
idol, and inquired what his monthly income
was. Seeing his gaze fixed on her beacon
strctor-like mouth, she remarked
"Dsrling, see you notice my large and
beautiful potato trap; let me explain to you
the reason of its unusual size. When / was
quite child / was playing on pappy's cellar
door; it gave way; I was precipitated down
Into the basement and caught by the mouth
on projecting meat hook, which ripped up
my face and extended my mouth seversl
inches" ......f
With his eyes full of sympathetic tears, he
rose from the sofa, and replied, as he. made
towards the door
"My angel, you are perhaps mistaken.
Probably, in the excitement of that awful mo-
ment, you left your mouth down in the base
meut and accidentally brought up the cellar.
We shall meet again in better world. A.

How CoATs VARY IN VALUE.-The other
day when New Yorker took coat around
to a dealer in secondhand clothing, the man
looked it over in contemptuous manner, el.
evated his nose, flung the garment aside and
said:
"Do you know how much wouldn't gif for
dot goat? I gif twelve shilling, only"
"It's worth FIVE dollars" replied the owner.
"Five tollar! Shust wait till 1 gall my
wife and dell dot we haf lunatic in der store.
Why, mine goot trent, you must haf been sun
stroke by der heat last summer"
He finally got the coat for two dollars.
Passing the same store in the evening, and
seeing his coat hanging at the door, the man
halted and asked:
"How. much for this old coat?"
"Old goat!' exclaimed the dealer, "why,
dot goat was made only last week, worn to
one party, and can't be had any more for only
seven tollars!''
"'ll give you two"
1.-TWO! Here, wife, hurry up! Put up
der plinds, lock der doors, and let US say our
prayers, for we must 60 into bankruptcy to-
morrow! Shust tink of dot man offering me
two tollars for dot goat who you bought of a

NOTHING LIKE "Sc1ENcE." day last
summer an old farmer and his wife were in a
Detroit photograph gallery to have some pic
lures taken of the wife. Before proceeding
to business the farmer took the artist aside
and confidently observed: "The old lady was
bound to come, and I couldn't prevent, but
now want you to do me favor. She's got
ears like COW, and the biggest mouth l ever
saw on woman. Her picture would be q
laughing-stock for the children, and Iknow
she'd be sorry when too late. Tell her that
she'll take the best in cold weather, and then
I'll fix the rest. ="
The artist performed his errand, and the
woman went away both disappointed and
pleased. The other day, when old zero was
Just bowling himself hoarse, the same pair re-
turned to the gallery, and. the farmer seated
his wife as far from the stove as possible and
ordered her to be "taken" at once. As the
artist hurried to obey, the farmer cornered
him and whispered:
Magnificent and unbounded success !!
Mouth and ears reduced one-half in size by
the cold Heat expands-cold contracts
60 ahead afore she thaws out! Hooray for
science and me!'

PRINCIPLES OF Coop FARM1NG.-First-
The farmer who would succeed we'll, and de-
rive pleasure as we'll as profit from his call
ing, must manifest an active and abiding in
terest in his vocation. 1t takes heart-work
to make hand-work pleasant
Second-The farmer must study how bess
to increase and maintain the fertility of hit
soils. There is no inertia in agriculture
there must be motion either forward or retro
grade.
Third-The farmer must strive to increase
the quality as we'll as the quantity of his
crops. 1t is the quality that determines the
price.
Fourth-The farmer must seek with a
watchful eye to improve his market facilities.
1t is the transportation that eats up the
profits.
Fifth-The art of raising better stock is
not as we'll known as it should be. Keep nc
more animals than you have the facilities to
feed and care for we'll.
SKth-The farmer must seek to improve
bis social, intellectual and financial condition

The FUN OF THE FARCE.-It is related
that the manager of theatre consented to
hear, in his sanctum, young who had
an unfortunate hesitation in his speech, read a
short farce, the sole condition being that it
should not occupy more time than it took to
finish the cigar the manager had just lit.
Away they both started, the one reading, the
other smoking, but, as the mild Havana
reached its termination, the worse the young
author spluttered; they finished together. Of
course the question was Immediately put,
"What do you think of it?" SWELL" replied
Mr. Manager, 'it's not half bad idea; fa-
ther, mother, lover, daughter, all suffering,
will have novel effect" The author, fu-
rious, exclaimed, "They don't stammer; it is
only my misfortune" "Oh, then, the play
amt funny at all Sorry I can't accept il" 7"
returned the manager.
Nor So IGNoRANT.-He sat alone in her
fathers parlor, waiting for the fair ones ap-
pearance, the other evening, when little bro
ther came cautiously into the room, and gil
ding up to the young mans side, held out q
handful of something, and earnestly in
quired-
II say, mister, what's themf"
"Those," replied the young man, solemnly,
taking up one in his fingers, "those are beans. D
"There p shouted the boy, turning to his
sister, who was just coming in, 81 knew you
lied. You said he didn't know beans, and
he does, tool"
The young mans stay was not what you
might call prolonged one that evening.
sgA boy in Sunday School proposed a
question to be answered the following Sunday
"How many letters does the Bible con
tain2"
"The answer was three million FIVE hun
dred and thirty thousand, three hundred and
thirty-three. -,
The superintendent then said to James, "ls
that right?"
"No, sir" was the prompt reply.
"Will you please to tell us how many there
are, then?"
"Twenty.six, sir"

sT Van Amburgh could handle his lions
and tigers with great impunity. No animal
will fail to respond to kindness and uniform
good treatment And especially will the
noble horse respect and con6de in and faith
fully serve master who deals gently and
kindly with him. We have ourselves taken
a spirited Morgan mare which had been rude
" handled and become almost entirely un-
manageable through harsh treatment, and,
by appealing to her intelligence and respect
inp her needs, in three weeks time made her
entirely safe and reliable for wife and chill,
dren and all who would treat her kindly and
handle her gently, and we have after five
years, seen the same mare resume her ola
vicious habits as soon as under the control of
one who resorted to arbitrary or brutal treat
ment. Always appeal to the better instincts
of the horse, the mule, the OK, the COW, as
we'll as the dog and other domestic animals,
and they will never become vicious or un-
manageable. Tropical.

WHAT MEN NEED Wives FoR.-It is not
to sweep the house, make the bed, darn the
socks and cook the meals, chiefly, that a man
wants wife. If this is all he needs, hired
help can do it cheaper than wife, If this is
all, when a young man calls to see lady,
send him into the pantry to taste the bread
and cake she has made, send him to inspect
the needlework and bed-making, or put a
broom in her hand and stand to witness its
use. Such things are important, and the wise
young men will quickly look after them but
what the true man wants with wife is her
companionship, sympathy and love. The way
of life has many dreary places in it, and man
needs companion to 60 with him. A man is
sometimes overtaken by misfortune; he meets
with failure and defeat; trials and tempta-
tious beset him, and he needs one to stand by
and sympathize. He has some hard battles
to fight with poverty, enemies, and with sin !;
and he needs woman that, when he puts his
arm around her, he feels he has something to
fight for, she will help him to fight; that she
will put her lips to his ear and whisper words
of counsel, and her hand to his heart and i'm
part ins spiration. All through life, through
storms and through sunshine, conflict and
victory through adverse and through favor
ing winds, man needs woman's love. The
heart yearns for it. A sisters and mother 9
love will hardly supply the need.

TAKE OUR ADVICE.

If husbands were always lovers, says an ex-
change, life would be pleasanter than it is.
But they are not. They never we're and they
never will be. . 5xy
Our advice to young women is like that of
Punch, when asked to say something to cou'
pie about to wed-"Don't." -...
"Don't what ......
Well, first and foremost, of all things, don't
marry drunkard. Depend upon it, if you
cannot keep him sober during those days Of
the average womans strongest influence over
wayward men, the season of courtship, the
chances will be against success. Some wo-
men have succeeded in this labor of love, but
there are 10000 failures to one success. 1t is
field of missionary labor that very few Of the
sex are fitted to enter. If John gets drunk
once month while he is billing and cooing,
depend upon it he will require semi-monthly
seasons of Bacchanaian recreation when he
becomes Benedict A man who gets drunk.
is necessarily bad or foolish man when he is
under the influence of liquor, and is very apt
to soon become bad man whether drunk or
sober. The romantic idea that woman who
can reform drunkard is deserving of crown
of glory is all the veriest bosh. They would
be shocked by the suggestion that man who
marries fallen woman and restores her to a.
life of virtue would be deserving the praise Of
all mankind The latter would be much
easier task than the former, and more likely
to succeed. The debasement in one case is
generally incurabIe, and scorns the influence
Of kindness or affection; while in the other
the opportunity to escape from life Of degra.
dation would in most cases insure hearty CO.
operation with the missionary in such field.
But the drunkard, as is generally the case,
NAV be addicted to a number of other vices,
each one of which ought to be considered as
repulsive as that of drinking. Still we find
pure, virtuous, refined and delicate women
risking their lives and happiness in the delu-
sive hope of rescuing and restoring them
Instances of the terrible failure in this mis-.
sionary field are to be found in every street
and lane of great city, accompaniment of
scores of the dissolute widows and orphans Of
those who have staggered into drunkards'
graves. Still the experiment is tried by new
votaries, who foolishly think they can succeed
where others fail. 1t is terrible delusion
Love and devotion are powerless on drunk
ard. Nothing but an iron will and firmness
that few women possess can check the career
of man who has once taken hold of strong
drink. He must become subject to her WILL
and be restrained from his evil course by a
power stronger than love or kindness There
are enough men who become drunkards after
marriage for all reasonable purposes of ex:
pertinent, without taking them fully trained
in career of vice and debauchery. There
fore we say "Girls, don't do it."

Hiram H. Holdridge died at Upper
Sandusky, Ohio, on tho 1lth ult., of
paralysis. We are indebted to Mr.. s. W.
Lewis for the following regarding him
Mr.. Holdridge was born IN the State
# New York, Nov. "a, 1914. From 1884
to 1889 he was railroad builder in that
Statc-from 1910 to 1913 was a wholesale
grocer in New York city, aud in 1914
located in Ohio, where he engaged in
farming and stock-raising. From 1861 to
1874 he Was merchant of Upper San
dusky, and in 1874 went down in the
financial crash of that fatal year. He
then removed to Willow Creek, Montana,
intending to engage largely in sheep
raising; but in 1875, stricken with paraly-
sis, he was obliged to abandon his hopes
and returned 10 Ohio, where he died, as
stated.
As the Sandusky Union says, he was a
man of no or mary intellect, al enter
pri ing citizen and q faithful friend. He
leaves widow and six children. Mr.,
Holdridge is well-remembered here, and
his death will C ,use many regrets with a

A Gard to the Public.

For many years we have made two
medicines suited to the ailments of vast
class of sufferers. Thousands of cures
have been made by them, and, in fact,
the word failure could not be coupled
with them. But within the last two years
counterfeits of our medicines have sprung
up, dangerous in their close imitation of
our Trade Mark. To secure the people
we have placed upon each genuine box of
HolDOway's Ointment the fac simile of the
signature of our agent, MI. Jos. Hayd0ck.
| o counterfeit is felony. We shall re-
lentlessly pursue any one who initiates
this with the utmost v;gor Of the law.
We most earnestly beg that the glest
mass Of the American people will aid US
in our efforts to protect their health, and
help us In our task of bringing these
men to the bar of justice.
Uniformly refuse to purchase Medicines
purporting to be ours unless Mr. Joseph
Hay dock g signature Is attache 10 each
box of Pills or pot of Ointment, and the
end will soon be reached.
