The average woman hates Il flea with an
intensity almost diaboiical in its nature.
She Will pursue one of these little inno-
cents with the rclnorselcssncss of tiend.
and If you ever expect to see beautiful
exempltication of wolnanly traits ne!er
look for it when she knows that flea is
about.
And in proportion as a woman hates, a
fen seems to love, and is never enjoying &C.
static bliss unless favored with her society.
He likes to see her couch in the Silly hours
Of the night, WOO her from slumbcr, and
exertions 10 escape his c;,resses; but per-
haps lie docs not reach the acme of enjoy
ment until he can slyly accompany her to
church and not make his presence known
until she has satisfactorily settled her fur
bellows and fiounces on the cushioned seat,
all ready to be admired. and make note of
how others look. And then the flea be-
gins his manipulations, knowing full well
that he has his victim Mt disadvantage.
Here there can be no hasty tlinging of
skirts, no assuming of unbecoming pos
lures while making frantic grabs at the mis-
chievous and inaccessible monster. lfyou
note the woman closely you will see COM
pressing of the lips and look of hate and
pain creeping into the face which she
would fain conceal and not reveal, for are
not many eyes upon her? One moment
she settles herself little more firmly on
one side hoping to crush the aggressor,
but the next instant she feels him scamp
ing.

To Get Out Of Debt.

To a young man in debt, Benjamin.
Franklin gave the following advice: Make
a full estimate Of all you owe, Aiitl of all
that is owing to you. Reduce the same to
note. AS fast as you collect, pay over to
those you owe. Ii you cannot, renew
your note every year, and get the best Sc
curity you can. Go to business diligently
and be industrious, waste no idle moments;
be very economical in all things, discard
all pride; be faithful to your God, by rcgu.
lar and hearty prayer morning and night;
attend church and meeting regularly every
Sunday; and do unto all men as you
would they should do unto you. If you
are too needy in circumstances to give to
the poor, do whatever else is in your pow
er to do cheertully. But if you can, help
the poor and unfortunate. Pursue this
course diligently and sincerely for seven
years. and you are not happy, comforta-
bic and Independent in your circumstances,
come to ME and will pay your debts.

How natural for the same Christ who said
He was the door, to use strong fiGurative
language TO express spiritual truth, and
and par ticularly when He could not, as we
can, talk in scientific terms and make his

init that some men are bad and depraved,
and that such state of character comes
from bad choices, and bsings misery and
suffering. Why may not these results flow
into another life, and separate one eter-
nall from God! This would be Hell en-
ough for any man. to be eternally out OF

the following:
The state OF matrimony is one of the
United states, that is bounded by hugging

are population, broomsticks and staying

Envy of Others.

The very moment man achieves sue
cess there's always somebody at hand to
tell how poor, how obscure, how no ''ac-
count he used to be, and to express w0n-
der and astonishment that he should ever
have amounted to anything" The fact
that he has amounted to something, that
he has proved himself success, seems to
make some of his acquaintance feel that
they have been in manner robbed; and
that by so much as he has risen above
them in position or influence, by so much
they are dwarfed. Men who have groped
blindly to find a fitting place for the exer-
else of their talents, find it, and with ii
comes naturally appreciation, money, in
fluencc, prosperity. Can their good fo--
tune cause anything but rejoicing in mag
nanimous and noble mind? There are few
men Of note before the public who have
not fought their way up through poverty,
obscurity. disaster and countless opposi-
tions OF adverse circumstances. In fact
almost everybody ''that is anybody has
had TO fight for his crown, and when he
gets it, shouldn't everybody rejoice witt

wheat to take the place Of rice as food

the yield seldom falls below forty bushels
