From the Detroit Free Prsss.I

It was plain enough to all the
other passengers on the ferry-boal
that the two were in love and en-
gagged, yet the girl seemed to d0ub
his fervor just a little. Therefore
as the boat reached midstream sht
leaned over and tenderly said
Johnnie, I am going to test your
love. Pm going to jump overheard,
and if you really love me you'll
jump after me and save me- Yes,
I'll jump after yOu," he slowly re.
piled, shut, but"
"But what, Johnnie I"
But if / were you I'd take off my
shoes first. just the minute they
haul you out of the water every
woman in the crowd will rush to see
whether you wear No. 2's or No. 5's
and if you are in your stocking feet
they can't get the SIZE"
The girl drew her feet under the
chair, sighed once or twice and did
not regain her old enthusiasm until
the boy came along with peanuts.

ACTIVITY.

ACUAv1Cy'
The doctors will tell you and your
own observations will confirm it,
that the healthiest men in the world
are men most actively employed.
The child's hymn has it that Satan
finds mischief for idle hands !; and
the CHASTITY goddess of ill-health
and disease finds mischief for slug
gish blood and indolent muscles.
Even the mountain lake, for all the
cool fresh wind that continually
crisps it's dark surface into tiny
waves, grows dull and stagnates in
it's inactivity and that Christian
life which is only a pool, shut into
its own broodings must of necessity
stagnate also. How different the
dull snrface Of the standing water,
with its mating Of heavy weeds,
from the clear musical tide of the
streamlet that rushes by field and
wood, with a song and a blessing
wherever it goes. Activity is es-
sential to healthy life, and especial
" to healthy Christian life. The
Christian life is like the bicycle that
hurries along our roads-while it is
in motion you are borne onward
safe and upright, but when it paus-
Is you fall helpless to the earth.-|
Golden Hours.

Paul Boyton, the swimmer, has a
rival in a Colorado chap who walks
the water on a pair of new-fangled
shoes. He gave an exhibition at
Leavenworth, Kan, recently which
was entirely satisfactory. He start
ed from the upper side of the Mis-.
souri, river bridge, aud although
the current was running at the rate
of fourteen miles an hour, the river
was crossed in nine a half minutes.
After resting a few moments he
showed the audience how to manage
the shoes and how they could be
steered in any direction one wished

THRILLING Contest.

A thrilling scene was witnessed
at Montreal the other day. A sa
loon keeper had bear pit unde,
his shop in which he kept a male
bear weighing 400 pounds, a she
bear and two cubs, and allowed Wis
itors to his place to see them with
out charge through trap door
While a number of persons were in.
spectine the animals a six.year-old
son of the keeper fell into the pit
and was seized BY the she-bear be-
fore any one could 1Bnd MS aid. The
father, hearing the child's screams
rushed down stairs and leaped into
the don, and dragging the boy from
the bears grasp tossed him out of
the trap. The Infatuated bear then
attacked the father, throwing him
down and severely biting his knee.
His life was in imminent danger,
when fortunately he seized upon a
lose brick, and by striking him on
the snont forced it to let go its
hold, and was drawn up out of his
perilous position by the spectators.

Summer Pruning of Grape
Vines

The pruning of grape vines III
the summer is rarely attempted ex
cept by professional growers. But
it is very useful practice. Il
keeps the vine within bounds, pre-.
vents much useless and wasteful
growth which would otherwise di.
vert the strength Of the plant from
the formation of fruit, and greatly
improves the quality Of the grapes
There is no secret about the method
With a sharp pruning knife (which
has a curved blade) slash off by a
quick stroke the ends of the shoots
which are intended to bear fruit,
leaving those intended to make
wood to grow on If fine fruit il
desired, only one branch should be
left on each spur or shoot branch /;
if abundance is desired more than
quality, two clusters may be left.
The ends of the shoots may he
pinched off with the finger and
thumb just as easily.-[New York

that that man makes a fabulous in

beans, or distilling PEPPERMINT oil or
gathering sumac, or going to Kan
sas and becoming bloated cattle.
lord or vast wheat grower; and
their modest desires are changed
into envious hopes of emulating
this or that man. But by and by
the secret comes out; the truth is
known, and we find it to be all a
mistake, or worse. The man who
has been selling butter, or said to
have been, at one dollar a pound,
strangely gives up his profitable
business and goes to selling milk at
eight cents q quart, or about three
or four cents net when expenses are
paid. Something has been wrong,
and it is in the reported price Of
the butter; for while all the fools
are not dead, then are few left alive |
who will pay dollar for what they
can purchase for thirty five or forty
cents or less in the market; and SO
we find the noted or notorious fan
cy dairymen going out of business
because if they could sell butter in
small quantities at a dollar pound,
the expenses of keeping up the
needed notoriety to attract a few
butterfly customers swallow up all
the profit and cost price, too. Let
us be content, not envy any man,
but do the best we can in our own
way, keeping sharp eye ''for the
main chance" and using all the
energy and enterprise we can bring
to bear on our business, and never
getting troubled for forgetting the
solid fact that no man gets dollar,
very often, without giving a dollar
in labor or skill, or sometimes in
actual money for it.-[New York

Meat ON Them.
We like to nee pen full of nice,
fat, clean porkers. We are fond Of
pork, fresh or salt, and are not
afraid to cat it, Notwithstanding
the solemn warnings Of Sylvester
Graham, who probably died for the
lack of something to grease his ribs.
He would not eat fat or butter, and
as cod liver oil had not then been
adopted in their place as sO-called
medicine he had to die Of the fat
hater's disease consumption.
But there may be too much Of a
good thing. We have been told
that we raised the latest pig in
town last season-and yet we were
not happy, for he was hardly any
thing but fat. The introducers OF
new breeds have gone on ''improv-
ing" the swine until they are about
all fat, with scarce muscle enough
to hold the fat together and carry
t to the feeding trough three times
a day. Now we think it is in or.
der to call for an improvement in
the other direction. Keep your
breeds Of fat hogs, if you like, for
the benefit Of the pie and doughnut
eaters; but give us at least one
breed capable of yielding the good
thick spare-ribs, the meaty shoulders
and hams and the streaked pork of
auld lang syne. And, speaking OF
streaked pork, we wish our Yer
mont farmers would learn not to put
all their side meat into pickle, but
would take an example from En-
gland and the South in smoking
some of it. "English Breakfast

The life of the seeker for precious
metals is not an easy one. A gen.
tleman who recently went with q
party of capitalists to Leadville

as near like gambling as any down
right honest hard work can be. II
requires genuine pluck to go out
upon the mountains at or near TIM
Der line, where the nights are al.
ways cold and snow falls nine or
ten months in the year, to live
alone in a rude cabin without even
the necessities of life, to say moth.
ing Of its comforts, and to dig day
after day and sometimes month af
ter month without even an indjca-
ton Of pay dirt And yet this is
the life Of the 'prospector' year af-
ter year. One man in a hundred,
or a thousand perhaps, makes a
strike and obtains wealth which
he rarely knows how to use. The
remainder are always poor, their
best luck being when they can in
duce some one to give them grub
stake, that is, to furnish them food
for share in their mines if they
find any"
