If you say anything about a ~neighbor
or friend, or even a stranger, beware
of speaking i'll. 1t Is brotherly charity
to suppress knowledge of evil of one
another, unless our higher public duty
compells us to bear accusing witness /;
and if it be true charity to keep our
knowledge of such evils to ourselves.
much more should we refuse to spread
the evil report of another. Discredita-
BILE as the fact Is, it is by far the more
common tendency to suppress the good
we know Of our neighbors and friends.
We act in this matter as though we felt
that by pushing Il fellows forward,
we should injure ourselves. We are
jealous of commentator unless we get
the larger share.
Social conversation as known to every
observer, is largely made up of what is
best understood as scandal. 1t would
be difficult to find a talkative group of
either sex, who could spend IN hour
together without evil speech Of some
body. "Blessed are the peacemakers,"
is not the maxim by which We are
chiefly governed in Il treatment of
personalities. Better a thousand times
stand or sit dumb than to open our lips
ever so eloquently nthe disparag'ment
of others. What we should do In this
as in all other human relations, Is to
practice the golden rule. If We do unto
Others as we would that othGfs should
do unto us, we shall be exceedingly
careful not to volunteer i'll words about
them. Where other than a good word
is to be spoken, let it be spoken to the
person concerned, that he may know
your motive is not idle, cowardly, and
sinister, aud that he may have a chance
to defend himself.

TaREsHTNG.-We find 1t stated that an
ordinary man will thresh with a fail
and clean In a day seven bushels of
wheat, eight bushels of rye, fifteen of
barley, eighteen of oats and twenty of
buckwheat. At the Paris Exhibition
six mel with fails threshed sixteen and
one-half bushels Of wheat In an hour.
Per contra, at the New York trial of
threshing machines in 1870, the mean
result was thirty-three and seven-tenths
bushels of oats in bundles; nine and
sixty-seven hundredths bushels of
wheat, and thirteen and thirty thirty
one hundredths bushels Of rye per hour.
Although our threshing machines are
capable of turning out a great deal of
work, the expenditure of power is
something enormous. In the Royal
Agricultural Society's trial In 1872 the
average Of eve machines was 2,516
foot pounds for each pound of sheaf
wheat, the highest being 3,077 foot
pounds, and the least 2 1893 foot pounds.
''In other words" the committee re.
marks, and II Is an interesting way of
presenting the case, "we may say that
If any quantity of corn GRAIN were
raised to the height of a little over one
half a mile, II would in falling produce
a force, which, If utilized, would suffice
to thresh Itself"

Children.


Give me the boy or girl who smiles as
soon as the first rays of the morning
sun glance through the wiWdow, gay,
happy, and kind. Such a boy will be
fit to "make up" into a man-at least
when cOntrasted with the sullen, mo-
rose, grabbed fellow, who snaps and
snarls like a surly cur, or growls and
grunts like a hyena from the moment
he opens his angry eyes till he is con
fronted by his breakfast. Such q girl,
other things being favorable, will be
good material to aid in gladdening some
comfortable home, or to refine, civilize,
tame and harmonize a rude brother,
making him gentle, afIectionate and
lovable. 1t is o feast to even look at
such a joy-inspiring girl, and see the
smiles flowing, so to speak, from her
parted lips, displaying a set of clean,
well-brushed teeth, looking almost the
personification Of beauty and goodness (;
singing, and rs merry as the birds that
commenced their morning concert long
before the lazy boys dreamed that the
sun was approaching and about to pour
a whole flood oflight and warmth upon
the earth.

The Power of VIII.

1t has been said that a man can do
anything he resolves to do. This must,
however, be taken with the limitation
that he must resolve to do only things
that are possible. To resolve to climb
to the moon will certainly not take him
to the interesting satellite, and to re-
solve that he will grow eleven feet high
will not carry his scalp to that altitude
above his stockings. Still the saying is
a deserved tribute to the will, as a force;
for the will Is a force, and a tremendous
at that, sometimes; it cannot be
seen or handled it is invisible, intangi-
BILE; but yet it is power, because it sets
other powers and agencies in motion,
and accomplishes great things through
them. There are two kinds of will
power-the aggressive and the passive.
The former generally takes the form of
what we call enterprise; it dares to in
wade fields hitherto unexplored, or to
essay objects that appear impossible of
execution, and show the world how
much can be done with little means; 1t
is the chief element in the constitution
of such men as Napoleon, Caesar, and
Cromwell,

CARE OF FARM HoREs. Farm horses
in the fall are often ungratefully neg
lected. Their hard toll in helping with
the heavy work of the season once over,
when only odd jobs await them, it is too
frequent a custom to dock them of their
grain and allow them to shift for them
selves on the pastures, often without
needed shelter from the bleakwinds and
early frosts of autumn nights. After
feeding awhile, the poor animals get
chilled, and run about In the dark in
search of warmth which they often find
only at the o of q tumble or fall, re-
sulting often In a sprain or a cut that
Injuries or distigures them for life.
Then, when warm and tired they lie
down to rest, what wonder If they rise
up stiff, spiritless and not rarely suffer-
ing from a severe cold after their heated
blood and relaxed slnews have been ex-
posed TO the blasts and frosts of a chilly
nightP When the days are not stormy
1t is we'll enough to let horses run in
the pasture, but every autumn night
should find them comfortably bedded
and fed in the stable. Ingratitude to our
fellow-men Is justly considered an
odious vice, but is there not often a
strong faint of 1t also in the treatment
of these noble animals, to whose faith
full help in all kinds OF drudgery, far
mers are deeply indebted for full barns
and comfortable homesP-RurGI New

The Use Of the Sewing Machine.-The
sewing machine first appeared as a
practical invention about thirty years
ago. Thlmonnier. the real originator
Of the idea, was a Frenchman, and, like
too many great inventors, he did not
live to enjoy any of the fruits of his
genius. Elias Howe, who followed
Thimonnier, was an American working
artisan, and found his first real support
in England about lS47. At the present
time, that Is. about thirty years after
the establishment ofthe inventisn, there
are upward of 1000, 900 sewing-ma-
chimes in use in various parts of the
world; and the annual number of new
machines produced in this country is
estimated at SO, 1000, employing about
100, 900 persons. In France, Germany,
and Belgium, the production of ma
chimes is very large, and in the United
States the annual out-turn Of machines
iS perhaps greater than in the whole Of
Europe. In 1862, it was estimated that
in the United States each machine
saved to its owner 50S. a week, or say
fl30 per annum, IN wages alone; or an
aggregate saving in wages, for the
whole country, Of about 100000 600.
In 1875. that aggregate saving had risen
to f100 $1,000, 900. - Popular Science

HUMOROUS

How 1T CANE ABoUT.-It Is pretty
well known that during william II.
Vanderbilt's youth his father, the Com
modore, had very little confidence I'm
his sagacity or business ability. Against
the advice Of some Of his friends, he
persistently declined the young mans
cooperation, because he thought him
%"stupid."
A story Is current on Staten Island
which goes 10 show how the Com
modore's eyes came to be opened 10 the
mistake into which he had allowed
himself 20 fall concerning his oldest
boy. William owned a farm near his
fathers and finding that IL required
fertilization, he applied TO him for some
manure.
Glow much doyou wantP" inquired
the Commodore.
ooh, about a load" said the SON..
"Certainly, | can spare that" was
the reply.
When the Commodore visited his
place the next week he found that his
yards and stables were swept clean Of
the great heaps of composite which he
had allowed to accumulate.
"Why, how is thisH" he said to the
farmer.
"Your son came and got It," was the
answer. "He said you gave him per-
mission"
The Commodore went tuning to Will
liam, and said in a bustling way, "See
here, young man; what have you been
about; how dared you to cart off all my
manureP"
"You said I could have It," was the
rejointer. ''You told me TO take a load"
ga load! why, you have got every
bit there is"
81 only took a load, father-a sloop
load"
The old mans eyes were opened. and
he concluded to give the son a "slice"
of stock 10 orerate with, and zoe after
made him Vic President of the Central
