The satisfaction of accumulating mil
lions in order that people may abuse
you after death is not pleasant one,
yet men will persist in piling UP their
millions by grinding the face of the
poor. After all, it seems that great
wealth is a great wrong.
Every now and then some chap
writes to the newspaper idr a recipe to
prevent hair from coming out. II
men would go home from the lodge
before midnight, with their legs sober,
their hair wouldn't come out so rap-

we have more hair now than the day
we were born.-Renovo Record.

What" the young man asked the

clerks, went to church occasionally
was known to but few outside his tusi
ness relations, saved his money, ant
died worth the above sum. The game
it seems, is scarcely worth the candle
and yet we all hasten to be rich. Is i

The Poultry World says: 9TH
value of poultry flesh comparatively
is not so various in different breeds o
| fowls, as some of the books and certain
partial writers on the subject aim t.
make it out. Well fed fowls of an,
breed, and such as have all need 70
their comfort and thrift, from chicken
hood upward, make excellent poultr.
for market, or for the private table
And there is no perceptable difference
in the taste of the flesh of the domesti
birds, so far as we could distinguish.
The food on which fowls are fattene'
makes as much difference in the quail
! ity of the flesh as the breed.
