Is Belief Voluntary!
Cincinnati Enquirer

We read that = minister in Madison,
Wisconsin, WAS thrown from wagon,
several months ago, struck on his head
and fractured his skull, and for weeks
his life was in danger He has at last
recovered perfect health, but his friends
are surprised to observe his orthodoxy
bas been unaccountably destroyed. He
was Bsptist.before the accident; now
he is Unitsi ian, with touch of spir-
ituslism, and he has lost all belief in the
doctrines that he used to preach. Siml-
lar accidents have produced like effects,
some more striking even than thi Madi
son case. Some lost all the religion they
had and became infdels, while Others
from being disbelievers become religious.
Thee physiological changes producing
mental alterations, such rs in the Msdi-
son and other like cases, force the ques-
tion TO what extent individuals should
be held personally responsible, in q
scriptural sense, for their beliefs. II
their beliefs depend so much upon the
brain structure, can they help their
beliefs, and il they can not, should they
be punished for holding opinions they

either for himself or for a hired laborer.
This has its COED results, but 1t also
causes a direct outlay. Another very
important consideration is found in the
fact that the average farmer can give
much better attention in the way OF
shelter and protection, and also in variety
OF food, TO his halfdozen steers--thereby
securing q larger percentage OF grain TO
food consumed--th is often practicable
fer the great feeder who numbers his cats
tie by the hundreds.
These points, at hrst fash, may not
seem of Importance, but they are well
worth thinking about by those who have
but small places. Observation will COM
vince us that, in good many cases, the
reason for superior success by one such
farmer over that reached by his neigh
Dor, Is, that he is not content TO step with
his ordinary "regulsr" work, but adds 70
this number OF little things, from each
OF which he makes some profit. -.

The price of q halt dozen good steers

Something New in Ocean Steamer

Yachtsmsn and tourists who visit the
Isle of Wight or Southampton have
often been puzzled by strange craft that
cruises in those waters, and which in
vsriably slows down to ordinary speed
when approached by other vessels. She
seldom appears to have anything more
serious on hand than party of gay
pleasure seekers, but watermen and
others who have watched her closely tell
OF bursts of speed in which she flies
through the water like an express train.
She is the vessel with which all the later
experiments have been conducted, and
the results TO which these experiments
have led are as ollows: One spindle
shaped steamer, sos feet longer than the
Great Eastern, or | 200 feet in length,

NO, symptoms, but the Disease.

II would seem to be a truth appreciabls
by all, and especially by professors OF the
healing art, that to remove the disease, moi
to alleviate its symptoms, should be the CHIEF
aim OF medicltion Yet, in how many in,
stances do We see this Truth admitted in
theory, ignored in practice, The reason that
Hostetter's Stomach Btiers is successful in
so many cases, with which remedies .prev.
ously tried were inadequate to cope, is at>
trbutabls to the fact that it is medicine
which reaches and removes the causes of the
various mslsdies TO which it is adapted. In
digestion, fever and ague, liver complaint,
gout, rheumatism, disorders OF the bowels,
urinary affections and other malades are not
palliated merely, but rooted out by it, 1t
goes to the fountsin head. II is really, not
nominally, radical remedy, and i, endows
the system with an amount of vigor which
is its best protection against disease.

ssoea Feeding By small r.,u,r..

About all the farmers in this country
annually iatten at least few pigs. But
very many farmers who have but forty,
or eighty or one hundred acres feel thew
can not successfully compete in cattle
feeding with the larger farmers; and up
qussi0nably the farmer who has
lot OF fifty or one hundred steers has some
marked advantages in caring ior and
feeding them over the man with one. or
two, or half.doxen. The work can often
be done to much better advantage md
much less time, in proportion to number,
with the large lot. When ready for
market the owner OF the half,dozsn car.
loads Of steers can choose his market and
receive reasonable shipping rates, while
the man with but q few is dependent on
his local markets or neighboring dealers,
or, ifhe attempt to ship at all, be must
pal higher rate. a
But, as In most cases, this question has
two sides. lhe advantages are not all in
favor Of the more extensive dealer. Very
often the stock of the email farmer will
receive better care and give a better
return than those in larger lots. Often.
times, too, . large part Of what they eat
would be wasted were II not for them.
Ths pasture may often carry the extra
steer or two, and yet give grass enough
fof the cows, and 10 OF the stock Geld or

importsnce. rs affecting the profit, Is,

practice is largely followed. The Iollow-

operation: se taFff
In vsry dry weather let furiow be
turned over as deeply as possible by a
thrse-horss plow. Let this Same iurrow
be again plowed up by following thrse>
horse pillow. By this means great blocks
Of ha d, stiff clay are thrown UP, some,
of them nearly one hundred pounds In
weipht. Let these Jumps be collected
and built n a circle of, say ten feet in
diameter and several feet high. Build
up the interior of each with brush, old
roots, etc, go disposed as to ignite easily,
and cover the whole with Jumps Of dry
clay. Alter having set Are to the heap,

care being taken to supply fresh clay, so
as TO prevent the fire from burning too
turiously. BY these means the stones In
the clay will be compile teIy pulverized; ;
the silica Of the soil will, toa large
extent be rendered soluble, and the car.
bonic acid entirely expelled from the
carbonates Of line and magnesia in the
rocks.
All practical farmers are aware that
the lack OF soluble silica ia the cause why
wheat and oats are apt 10 be down ON
rich lands. and why they refuse to fill
with seed the heads OF grain.
They also know that lime and mag
nesia, as carbonates, do not enrich the
soil, whereas, when rid of the carbonic
acid they a.e OF great value both directly

Let me count up the songs Of life that we
Have sung together from the first till now;
The simple baby rhymes OF bird and bee,
OF sun and star, of stream and blossom
bough.
The deep music of our youths new song,
In days when life looked wonderfully fa1r;
When hearts were daring, pulses, quick and
strong, ,1sI
When woe was not and joy was everywhere.
The wilder strain OF passion, smiles aud tears,
When love awoke with power to slay or
save;
The calmer melody of graver years,
In minor key like music by grave.
And now we have another song to learn,
Tis written for us, we but wait our turn.
often think this unseen, unsung song,
With all its strangeness, will have notes we
know .
And we shall hear It's awful chords among
The mingled music of cur long ago,
The simple snatches of our baby rhymes;
The thrilling bars of youths triumphant
The peals of melody like weds ing chimes,
That bring our summer love song pack
again.
1t may be this new song is hard to sing;
But shall we grudge to learn 1t, who have
Tired and voiceless in earth's caroling,
Yet vain would have some melody our own
And though 1t Is the song OF death, we know
That singing it, to endless life we go.
