A man in Baltimore is so

It is supposed by some peo-

Let a man overcome anger by
love, evil by good, the greedy

truth.
Dehlah subbued man by
cutting his hair. Most women

the roots.
The difference between hun

the hungry man longs to eat
and the glutton eats. too long.
Beauty may attract love at
first, but it alone cannot retain
affection. Its the sterling quail

win in the long run.
It's hard to tell which will
bring the mostpleasant express

tell her that her baby is heavy,
or her bread light.
In reality, there is perhaps
not one of our natural passions
SO hard to subdue as pride; dis
guise it as we may, every now
and then it peeps out.
In nine cases out of ten, the
wisest course is, if man cheats
you, quit dealing with him; if
he SANDERS you, take care to
live SO that no one will belive
him.
Tears do not dwell long on
the cheeks of youth. Rain
drops easily from the buds;
rests on the maturcr flower, and
breaks down that which has liv-
ed its day.
There is surely plenty of OPP
portunity in the six days of the
week for ladies to indulge in
costly array without going to
church to display new dresses,
new bonnets or rich ornaments.

Raise Hogs fo- Next Year.
fsIcKinney Enquirer. i

We would advise farmers moi
to be frightened out of raising a
reasonable number of hogs fol
next years feeding. There is
always a loss attending changes
from o1e branch of farming to
another too suddenly Its the
safer plan not to overstock with
any kind of live stock, or when
established in any branch oil
business of feeding stock, to
abandon it on account of low
prices one year. a great many
persons are apt to be influenced
by the same cause in a similar
way. and a comparative search
ty causes the prices to advance.
The same rule holds good in
the cultivation OF grain and 9TH
er vegetable crops. a diversity
Of staple crops is the best sys-
ten fer the majority of farmers

tablished, do not be driven from
a well uatured system by slight

The Scrap Book.

Every one who takes a newspaper
which he in the least degree appre-
ciates will often regret TO see any
one number which contains some
interesting and important articles
thrown aside for waste paper. A
good way to preserve these is by
the use of scrap book. One who
has meyer been accustomed to pre-
serve short items can hardly realize
the pleasure it affords 10 sit down
and turn over the pleasant, familiar
pages. Here a peice of poetry meets
the eye, which you would long since
have lost had it not been for yonr
scrap book; there is a witty anec-
dOte-it does you good to laugh over
yet, although it may be for the twen-
tieth time; next is valuable re-
ceipt you had almost forgotten, and
which you found just in time to save
much perplexity; there is a sweet
little story, the memory of which
has cheered and encouraged you
when almost ready TO despair under
the pressure of life's cares. Indeed,
you can hardly take up single pa
per without reperusing. Then hoard
with care the precious gems, and
see at the end of the year what a
rich treasure you will have accumu-
lated.

An Indian Girls Letter.

We clip from the Burtonian the
following paragraphs of a letter
written by an Omaha Indian girl to
an eastern Sunday school, whose
members had sent Christmas pres
ents for the Indian children of the
Sunday school on the Omaha reser-
vation:
| am coming more and more TO
the conclusion that the surcst and
the almost only way of reaching the
parent is through the children.
For them they are willing to lay
aside their arms and take up the
plow and mower, all unused as they
are TO labor; for them they are will
ing to pass over injuries, lest the
wrath of the government be aroused
and their children slain. For the
sake of their children they are will
ing to break up their nationality,
and all that they hold dear TO be-
come citizens. Said one man TO me:
81 wish | had had the advantage
in my youth which you have. |
could then have had chance to be-
come something other than L am
and / could have helped my people;
[ am now helpless and ignorant, but
| shall die content if my children
after ine live better than have
DONE"
But my letter will never be finish
ed if | keep on at this rate, L wish |
could thank you as / would like to
do. You have frightened the lives
of some of my unfortunate race
and we do need all the brightness
and kindness you can give as
out of your lives. You have
strengthened the cause of our Re-
deemer by showing some of his poor,
helpless ones that you do care for
them, for his sake. 1t is bitter
thing for a man to lose confidence i'm
his fellow beings, and it is noble
work to cause such an one to know
that justice and right and truth exist
in this world, and that He who made
us all has implanted in some of His
people, such love for Himself that
they care for the least of His crea-
lures,

Force of Habit.

In 1S40 an English gentleman Wis
tied this country and carried back
an American AK and helve, which,
from the peculiar curve of the han
die and shape of the head, proved
infinitely superior-the expert, Mr..
Gladstone gave similar testimony not
long ago-to anything of English
manufacture. His son still has the ak,
which is serviceable, though, of
course, the handle has been renewed
several times, always on the model
of the old one. When it was first
used carpenters and woodmen came
from a distance of ten miles to in
spect it, and many times its owner
was offered ten times its price for it
indeed, one enthusiast tried to
steal it. Nevertheless, so tenacious
is habit, to this day that venerable
Ak is the only one of its kind in the
neighborhood.

Rest.

Many woman who cannot afford
plenty OF help when she need not do
so, by adding unnecessary work. !
like pretty things; tucks, ruflles and
embroidery are great addition to
garments, and so are pies, pudding
and preserves on the table; but if
the day is fully occupied in making
plain garments and preparing plain
meals, the hours that are needed for
rest should not be encroached upon
by the useless trimming Of the dress,
and often unwholesome extras of
the repast. Work is good for every
healthy person, but rest is good
also; and we have minds as well as
bodies. We may make slaves of
ourselves, and that is no more right
than to make slaves of others. To
be clean and whole is duty to be
wholesomely fed is also duty but
l should like to preach to some wo-
men l have known until they really
feel that the body is more than
raiment, that to keep strong eyes,
straight back and a sweet temper, is
better for one who is a mother than
to have her children clad i'm elabo-
rate garments, which it takes hours
and hours to iron and flute. Good
material, perfect cleanliness, and
plain, flat trimmings of some kind
will make any children look we'll
dressed; and in their season a des-
ert of fruits tastes better and does
more good than all the pies and
puddings that can be manufactured.
Make your work as easy as consis-
tent with utter cleanliness and tidi-
ness, and save some hours ;or walk
ing with your children, for reading,
talking with your husband, and
even for sitting utterly idle in the
twilight of summers day, or be-
fore the freight OF a winters even
ing.

Good Breeding,

That man who is scrupulously po-
lite and respectful to all women in
public but habituslly saves coarse
manners and vulgar language for
his own wife and daughters, is no
gentleman. He is only an impos-
tor. The young man who oils his
hair, puts sweet odors on his pocket
handkerchief and bows with charm
ing elegance to Miss Arabella Sprig-
gins and her lady friends, and goes
home to sneer at his mother. and
treat her with familiar discourtesy.
is a penchbeck imitation only of a
gentleman. Genuine good manners
and gentle breeding should begin al
home. As rule the men in a COM
inupity who are the most trusted
are the best men at home. When
q man opens his front gate only to
meet his wife's face at the door ra-
disnt with pleasure, and hears the
shout from the eager children, "Pa-
ia is coming J" it is safe as a rule to
lend that man money. He is honest
and will repay il il he can.

Stick to Your Farm

Trade i'm manufactured goods is
playing some queer pranks now-a-
days. A man or company may
work hard. expending much time
aud money in perfecting some article
of general use, and suddenly find
that elsewhere some one has been
at the same work and can sell the
results for less money. A few years
ago England was the only country
which manufactured cotton prints
for export, while the idea of any
one competing with her in her home
markets was laughed at as bit of
insanity; but to-day American
prints are being worn by operatives
i'm English cotton mills, having been
found to be prettier and cheaper.
Now we hear that agents of Ger
man cutters have been to Sheffield,
heretofore the acknowledged center
of the cutlery trade of the world,
and sold their goods at prices which
the home manufacturers could not
underbid. Sheffield will continue
10 make knives and scissors, and no
American will be foolish enough to
hope that the English print works
will be closed, but the illustrations
which we have given of the fluctua-
tions Of trade will show the Ame"i-
can farmer that businesses which he
mournfully considers more profta-
BILE than his own are subject to
drawbacks and dangers which the
agriculturist never knows. Bread
stuffs and food materials of every
kind are always in demand and
have a tolerable uniform value the
world over. No competition, no
new farming community that may
be developed, can ever afflict farm
ers with clock out" such as work
ers in the trades are constantly eX-
periencing, nor in tremendous fail
ures like those which are constantly
startling the commercial world.
The overstocked manufacturer can
not eat his surplus knives or prints,
nor can the locked-out operative
dine on his tools, but i'm the worst
season the farmer is sure at least of
a full stomach and a roof over his
head. Sensible is he i: instead of
grumbling at his lot he makes the
best of it and realizes that in the
long run he is better off than many
whose occasional success he envies.

A Remarkable Instance Of
Tempcratnenta lncOm.
pafibility.

In an article on the late George L.
Hilliard, of Boston, the New York
Times says of his domestic unhappi-
ness: Ellis marriage was a most
striking instance of temperamental
incompatibility. Both he and his
wife were both amiable, estimable
and affectionate, but totally devoid
of sympathy one with the other.
They could no more coalesce than
oil and water; and yet each made
heroic effort during forty years to
this end. They separated only two
years ago, their common friends
having decided that separation was
the best thing, as the authors grow
ing ailment rendered any lack of
spiritual or mental concord too seri-
Gus to be longer endured. The ILL
assorted couple had great respect
for one another; but any approach
to harmony was simply impossible.
In the first years of their marriage
they had son, and his loss was an
aflliction from which the father nev-
er fully recovered. 1t very rarely
happens that so excellent and ad-
mirable a man and woman as Mr..
and Mrs. Hilliard have been are
hopelessly prevented by radical diff
ferences of constitution and disposi-
tion from making one another happy.

Cattle and Corn Smut.

We have received several letters
OF inquiry concerning the effect of
corn smut on cattle, with the state
ment that many animals have died.
In various parts of the West, after
being turned into the corn fields.
We do not know, of course, that
smut is not the cause OF their death,
but we do not believe it is. We are
inclined to think that Elmer Bald
win, Farm Ridge, H., has given the
true cause, in O letter TO the Prairie
Farmer, from which we make the
following extract: 1t is nearly six
ty years since | first witnessed
post mortem examination of an ami
NAL that died under such circum-
stances, and have witnessed such
examinations frequently since
probably, in all, of more than one
hundred cases, and in every instance
the condition of the internal organs
was the same, and such as TO leave
no doubt as to the cause of death.
The second stomach, commonly
called the manifold was in every
instance packed with the masticated
corn husss, so dry and hard that the
point of a common butchers knife
could only, with considerable effort.
De made to penetrate its substance,
while the coats Of the stomach were
disorganized and separated, showing
that a violent and fatal intlamma-
tion had supervened. The cause
evidently, is too rapacious and full
ieeding of the dry material, without
sufficient water. So well was this
understood in New England, in nv
ooyhood, that before turning cattle
into a cornfield, they were sailed
and watered, and, in addition. full
led as a necessary precaution. and
syen then they were allowed to re-
mainrenly one hour or two at a time
after the first day or two. Thus
treated, never knew any injury to
follow.
The common practice is TO keep
cattle on the short fall feed, or with
light feeding, till the cornfield is
cleared, when they are turned in
with empty stomachs and ravepous
appetites; there is generally scare
ity Of water, and the fatal results
follow.-Rural New Yorker.

The New French President.

Francois Paul jules Grevy, whose
election as President of France has
been announced, was born OH Aug.
1913, and is therefore now sixty-six
years of age. His birthday, as will
be observed, is the same month and
day of the month as that of Napo-
lean Bonaparte. president Grevy
is lawyer by profession. He dis
tinguished himself as a pleader at
the bar during the reign of Louis
Phillip by his defense of several of
his friends, who were arraigned for
political offences. In 1S4S he was
elected a representative to the Ma
tional Assembly, taking sides at that
time with the conservative element.
Under the subsequent empire Grevy
was elected president of the Law
yer's Corporation of Paris and was
sent as deputy to the Corps Legisla-
III thC VI ~ III III
that department he acted as a mod
crate Republican until the downfall
of the empire when he was elected
to the national assembly, serving in
that body until through the resigna-
ton of Mcmahon, he was honored
with the chief magistracy of the
French Republic. Crews advanc-
ed age and conservative tendency
will doubtless lead toward modera-
tion in the changes which will nec-
essarily take place under the Repub-
lican party administration.
The fact that no special excite
ment or stir has been Occasioned by
the change, seems to confirm the be-
lief that France in the hands of its
new President, will be safely guided
in the same path of steady progress
that has characterized that happy
nation since the exit of the NapO-
leonic usurper.-Bee.
