Services are still being held at
Universalist Church by the Free
Methodist congregation. Their efforts
are being attended with good success,
and many new converts are being
gathered into the fold. Rev. Hart,
who has been conducting the services,
left on Monday, but his place is
being filled by Rev. Barnhart. The
meetings will be continued as long as
there are any new converts.
?. P.S.-Meetings closed last night.
While down on the islands last
Thursday after woodcock, in company
with Mr.. j. T. Dale, we killed black
snake measuring 5 feet, and a rattle
snake that would go A feet strong.
The blacksnake didn't scare us much,
but when we discovered the "rattler"
just in time to avoid stepping on him,
why, we jumped, didn't measure it,
but will venture to say it was a good
Jump. We don't mention these things
in order TO scare off hunters, but if it
has that effect we won't be worried
much.

is the standard authority in this
country on all matters pertaining to

worldwide reputation as such. The

kind in the world, and he succeeds
admirably,

Text Books.

1t is with pleasure that hear from
our school directors that there is but
ono district in Forest county which
has nOn-uniformity Of text books.
The old editions have given way to
newer and better books. The opposi.
ton which was waged against those
who, last season endeavored to secure
county uniformity in text books in
our common schools has now given
way to open commendation for those
who diligently labored to secure uni.
form series in the various townships.
Although we now have uniform
series Of Readers, Spoilers, Geogra.
phies and Arithmetics, we yet lack an
adopted series of Grammars in several
districts. 1t is to be hoped that these
will be decided upon as soon. as pos
sible. This done, Forest county can
boast of what few other counties in
the "Old keystone" can elevate them
selves to. The schools Of many
counties, however, are much better
supplied with apparatus than ours are.
Several districts are supplied with
wall.maps and a few schools with
globes. These ought to be in every
school in Forest county, and in con-
nection with them several good works
of reference for both pupil and teacher.
| know of but one school in the county
in which the "board" has furnished
any works Of information whatever,
and that is Webster's Unabridged
Dictionary.
have before me letter from one
of our directors in which he asks (:
1--WE intend to furnish our schools
with few works of reference. Which,
in your opinion. would you advise me
to purchase this year, which next year,
and how many ought we to have in
each school to make good, thorough
condensed library p
The above question is what called
forth the remarks made by me preced-
ing the above interrogatory. Now my
answer: This year l would supply
each school with copy of Websters
Unabridged. Next year with a copy
Of Davies Mathematical Dictionary,
or Browns Grammar Of English
Grammars; then might follow copies
Of each Of the Natural Sciences, and a
few works on English Literature, all
Of which need not exceed twenty dol
lars per school. | hope your board"
will commence the good work at once,
and then that the other districts will
follow your example. If you have
any other questions to ask relative to
the establishment of school library
and will dcign to ask my opinion, l
shall be very glad to answer either by
letter or through the medium of our
county papers.
Very truly yours,

The article on rag carpets in our dome site
department reminds me of my own troubles
in the past with carpets in living rooms, and
how the difficulty was solved. An account
of the method may be of benefit to other
housekeepers. After years of suffering from
dust and lacking with the inevitable wear
and tear, we decided to lay floor of hard
wood aud selected, as bright and pretty
contrast, ash and cherry So the boys and
papa went to the woods, cut down the trees
and without unloading them from their
sleighs, took them to the saw mill, where
they were saWn into narrow boards, three
inches wide by three. quarters OF an inch
thick. They were afterwards dressed and
when brought home, placed in the kitchen
garnet closely packed, on edge, and left to dry
till spring. The carpenters were ordinary
mechanics and the floor was laid on top of
the old one, care being taken, however, to
insert wedges wherever it was uneaven. 1t
is now so firm that not board creaks and
with slight oiling once year, it retains its
pretty markings, while the weekly washing
is very easily done. In summer rug and a
bri@ht piece of mating are placed where
there is the most walking, and in winter q
couple of sheep-skin mats and larger rug,
produce an additional warmth, and these
things are very easily taken up to be shaken,
while the floor gathers TO DUST and has a
pleasant glow that carpet cannot give. Sc
we do not intend to n axe any more rag-car
pets for our liying-roome, but to continue oul
polished floor to the kitchen at some future
day.
Noise did you say' Then teach the chill
dren to lift their chairs and not push them
and console yourself with the reflection that
the little necessary noise is nothing in the
way of annoyance in comparison with the
dust that would irritate delicate lungs, cover
ing and destroying every article of furniture
in much-used, carpeted rooms.

Better Than Gold.

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles q thousand fold,
Is a healthy body and mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please;
A heart that can feel for anothersyWoe,
And share its ioyswith genial glow;
With sympathies large enough to 5nfold
All men as brothers. ia better than geld.
Better than gold is a conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in an humble
Sphere
Doubly blessed with content and health,
Untried by the lust or the cares of wealth;
Lowly living and lofty thought,
Adorn and ennoble poor mans cot;
For mind and morals, in natures plan,
Are the genuine tests of a gentleman
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the sons of toll when their labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumber deep
Bring sleepy draughts to the downy bed,
Where luxury pillows its aching head,
But he his simple opiate deems
A shorter route to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is a thinking mind,
That in the realm of books can find
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great aud good OF Yore;
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glOries of empire pass away;
The worlds great dream will thus unfold,
And Weld a pleasure better than gold
Better than gold is a peaceful home,
When all the tireside characters come;
The shrine of love, the heaven of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife,
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree,
The blessings that never We're bought nor
sold,
And center there, are better than gold

THE HOUSE AND FARM

The Farm.
Cellers where roots are stored need to be
kept cool, else the root swill shrivel
or start into growth; in either case their
quality will be injured.
A British bee-keeper lays it down as a rule
that If the honey makers are seen flying in
and out of the hive on rainy or damp da, 8 in
Autumn, it is sign that they are in a starv-
ing condition, and the proper thing in to feed
them with syrup made by boiling three
pounds of lump sugar intwo pounds OF water
The superiority of Scotch oatmeal is said to
be partly owing to the grain being cut rather
"glazy," that is with shade of green upon
it. Dat straw is far less nourishing for cattle
when the crop is allowed to stand till it is
dead ripe. Early cut oats are heavier per
bushel, fairer to the eye and usually sell for
more money.
A punctual man is rarely poor man, and
never u man OF doubtful credit. His small ac-
counts are frequently settled, and he never
meets with difficulty in raising money to pay
large demands. Small debts neglected, ruin
credit; and when man has lost that, he will
find himself at the bottom of a hill he cannot
ascend.
1t is said that he is a good farmer who car
make a rainy day as effective as one that il
fair. So he is likewise good manager who
can make day in autumn save one in the
busy season of spring. Orchards can b'
trimmed, fences built and repaired, drains dug
stones picked, and many other things done
that will greatly lessen the labor of next spring
and summer.

Health S6caeties.

One of the latest devices for making avail
able the principal of economy by combination
is that of health societies. These are con-
Quoted on the principle that prevention is bet
ter than cure. The families composing the
society pay so much year into the treasuary
of the society, and elect physician, to whom
they pay, from the fund thus created, good
salary. He makes the care of the health of
these families his first concern, visiting them
steadily, and observing for himself what is the
state of their health. He also gives to them
occasional lectures on hygiene and dietetics,
Members of the society are not tempted to
neglect slight indispositions for fear of incur
ring heavy DOCTORS bills, but repair to the
physician for advice upon the first symptoms
of illness; there is no temptation to the phys
ician to CHERISH case of sickness, for his
reputation depends on his being able to keep
his society in good health, and especially to
prevent severe attacks of diseases. Sensible
people would much rather pay for health than
for sickness, and so the arrangement is excel
lent all round

How He Cured a Smoky Chimney.

Yesterday, as citizen of Woodward
Avenue was helping tinsmith to elevat
smoke-jack to the roof of an addition
on the windy side of the house, prepal a.
tory to hosting it atop of smoking
chimney, an old man with ragged
bundle under his arm came along, halted,
and soon became deeply interested.
"That chimbly smokes, don't it?' he
finally inquired.
Its the worst one in town." replied
the citizen.
"And you want to stop the nuisance,
eh?"
"Yes, do"
"And you think that smoke jack will
do it?"
81 hope So
"Well, now, I kin stop that smoking
in ten minits, and won't hurt the chin
bly, nor put up any smoke jacks" con-
tinued the old man, as he laid down his
bundle.
If you'll do it, I'll give you five
dollars" reio1ned the citizen, who dis
liked the idea of disfguring his chimney
with the clumsy jack.

The cook was instructed to vacate
and the old man took possession. RemoV-
ing the top of the stove, he poured in
enough water to put out every spark Of
the fire. Then going out, he called tc
the citizen On the roof:
"Has she stopped smoking9"
"Well, don't see any smoke at all,
was the reply; "what have you done?"
While he was coming down the ladder
the old man made off, eating pie ht
