Love the Children.

Don't he afraid to show the children
that you love them. The boy or girl
will not easily go wrong whose arm is
twined morning and night around
mothers neck whose head is welcomed
to its cuddling place on fathers shoul-
der. 1t is on the side Of their atfec-
tions that children are most easily held
and guided, and the firmcst rein is IL
visiSible, golden cord of love. 1t is
on the side of their affections that
children are most easily held and
guided, and the frmest rein is the i'll
visible, golden cord Of love. 1t Is
good to humor children in following
their natural bent in all right and
helpful directions. Remember that
education is only the leading out Of
powers and faculties that are within.
Encourage, therefore, such inclinations
toward books, studies, mechanics, mus
ic, out-Of-dOOr pursuits and healthful
sports as shall help most truly to de-
velop your child. As education comes
more and more to include the develop
ment of a natural aptitude, it will be
more and more successful. 1t Is good
to humor your children in preserving
their individuality and i'll fostering a
true self-respect. Teach them, too, the
value Of money, and encourage them
to manage their own financial affairs
This will give them important expert
cncc.

4 Beautiful Thought.

When the summer of youth is slow
ly wasting away on the nightfnII of
age, and the shadow of the path be-
comes deeper, and life wears to its
close, it is pleasant to look through the
vista of time upon the sorrows and
felicities of our early years. If we
have had home to shelter, and hearts
to rejoice with us, and friends have
gathered round our freside, the rough
places of wayfaring will have been
worn and smoothed away i'll the twi-
light of life, and many dark spots we
have passed through will grow bright
er and more beautiful. Happy, in
deed, are those whose intercourse with
the world hasn't changed the tone of
their holier feelings, or broken those
musical chords of the heart whose vi
bratiOns are so melodious, so tender
and 50 touching in the evening Of their
lives.

Tilsse to Cut Timber

FsTmers Review,
July and August are the best
months for cutting timber, that il may
be the most durable. The growth of
the year is now we'll nigh over, and If
the trees are allowed to lie until the
green foliage dries upon them, the.
greater portion of the sap Is thereby
withdrawn from the wood sntl the sea-
sOning is rapid and perfect Gut in
mid Summer, insects are much lees lin
bic to attack the wood. which is an I'M
portant point with some kinds of tim
ber like the hickory, etc.
We have often been asked to Give
our views As to the best time to cut
timber for posts and for other uses.
This IS n difficult problem To solve
There are nearly as many opinions as
there are men, but the bulk Of the tes-
timOny leans to the side of cutting in
the last Summer nOartks. In our own.
experiences, We think We have seen a
good deal of difference IN timber cnt

cut in the last half ST SumiAcr, and
we shonld choose the latter ti4aie if We
were anxious to use timber We wish

when cut in Winter OF in the Spring.
The custom down East In clearing
off land by cutting and burning. was
to cut III Summer. This was thought
to be the best time to prevent sprOut--

How to be Beautiful.

Curls and cosmetics are all in requi-
sition to enhance the beauty of 1.-The
human face divine" but what is the
result? Youths roses only flee the
faster-old age will creep on apace :;
rouge cannot hide its wrinkles, nor can
it make any face beautiful. We are
decided believers i'll the old adage,
Handsome Is that handsome does. 3"
No face has true beauty in it that does
not mirror the deeds of noble soul.
There is not thought, word or deed
but leave its autograph written on the
human countenance and We care not
whether kind nature has given her
child an ugly face or handcome one,
if the heart that beats underneath all
is warm and loving. And, il the soul
be pure and true, that face will al
ways be beautiful, forit has found the
true fountain of youth and though
time may fold the hair in silver, and
furrow the brow, yet there will ever be
Il beauty lighting it up that years cam
not dim, for the heart and soul never
grow old.

Lice on animals.

Col. F. y. Curtis commends Ihe
following mixture 70 kill lice on ami
mails: ''Slelt hogs lard or agy hot
grease, and in it dissolve salt one-third
of the bulk Of the grease take as
mnch grease As will be required to
smear the animal ali over, and into the
mixture pour kerosene oil and stir up.
Two gills ofthe kerosene would be suf-
ficient for COW of ordinary size. One
application completely cured the most
stubboan case of lice on an old hog It
leaves the skin smooth and clean, re-
moving the scurf and healing the irri-
fation caused by the parasites. It is
also excellent for gall and sores"

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

In speaking of persons faults,
Pray don't forget your owp;
Remember those with homes OF glass
Should seldom throw Il stone.
If We have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
'Tis better we commence at home,
And from tina: point begin.
We have no right to judge a man
Until he's fairly tried;
Shosld we not like his company,
We know the world Is wide,
Some may have faults, and who has not
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may, for ought we know,
Have fifty to their one.
III tell you of a better plan,
Ard find it works full we'll;
70 try my own defects to cure
Before OF others tell.
And though hope sometime to be
No worse than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all, when we commence
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those We little know;
Remember curses, sometimes, like
Cur chickens "roost at home;"
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.

Keep Young.

Don't grow old and rusty and cross,
afraid Of nonsense and fun. Tolerate
the follies and crudities ofyouth. Gray
hairs and wrinkles you cannot escape
but you need not grow old in feeling
unless you choose. And so long as
your age is only ou the outside you will
win confidence from the young, and
find your life all the brighter for CON
tact with theirs. But YOU have too
many grave thoughts, too many weigh
ty anxieties and duties, too much to do
to make this trifing possible, you say.
The very reason, my friend, why YOU
should cultivate fun, nonsense, light
ness Of because you are ''wear-
ry with thinking" Then do try to be
young, even if you have to he foolish
in so doing. One cannot be wise al
the time.

Has the man who is thoroughly sell

to be husband who enjoys his cigars

two per day, while his wife and child

Has he a call to be q husband who
suffers his larder to go bare, and then

uries of the season are not set before
him? Has he 4 call to bea husband who
flirts with the pretty girls, and makes

of midnight supper of oysters and

One Item in the Bill.

States is estimated to be seven hundred
millions Of dollars! In Great Britain,
with a population 100000 less than
ours, the drink bill is S7S5, 900. 900.
What an encrmaus sum for alcoholic
stimulants in single Year-S7000,
100000! In twenty years the annual
compound interest on this sum would
amOnnt to more than S25, 900, ,000, 900.
Here is the startling result of twenty
years national indulgence in intoXica-
ting liquors, twenty-five billions
of dollars! The cost of drunken
ness is amazing. The aggregate of
money represented by these worse than
useless beverages is indeed fearful, ap-
palling, and beyond the manner of ex-
preston in words or figures. The
wheat and corn which God gives foI
bread is perverted into a poison for the
