Yes, know there are stains on my carpet,
The traces of small muddy boots:
And see your fair tapestry glowing,
All spotless with blossoms and fruit.
And know that my walls are disfgured
With prints of small fingers and hands:
And that your own household most truly
In immaculate purity stands.
And know that my parlor is Uttered
With many old treasures and toys:
While your own Is in daintiest order,
Unframed BY the presenoe Of boys.
And kow that my room is invaded
Quite boldly all hours of the day:
While You sit in yours unmOlested
And dream the soft quiet away.
Yes. know there are four little bedsides
Where ! must stand watchful each night;
While you go out in your carriage,
And flash in your dresses so bright
Now. think I'm neat little woman:
like my house orderly. too;
And I'm fond of all dainty belongings:
Yet would not change places with you.
mol keep your fair home with its order,
Its freedom from bother and noise;
And keep your own fanciful leisure,
But give me my four splendid boys!

band of venturesome spirits to go forth

on criminal cunning and new recruits
in other cities where they might So
jOurn for subsistence. 1t was certain
" a fortunate thing for some Bradford
parents that the youth owning the book
and having views on the organization

pretended and sent safely home to his

the parent of the boy to adopt meas
ures to keep him at home and guard
against his procuring literature such as

are 8 number of runaway boys who
reach Bradford after whom no inquiry
is made or anxious parents seek. at

boys remain here for weeks and months.
They readily fall in with the news

larger growth of boys from sixteen

blacks to quiet the suspicion and carry
on their questionable mode of life. The
younger boys find them capital precep-
tors. They have all the characteristics
of "hoodlums," and cunning sufficient
to escape detection in many of their
petty criminal acts. Some OF these per-
sons by times fall into the hands of the
officers and get their deserts. While
the number of boys who run away from

after whom no care seems to be taken,

much greater. In this working-day
world there seems to be many parents
Indifferent to the welfare OF their sons.
The tendency of these boys is directly
to the bad. Sufficient has been shown
in this city. from time to time, to make
it plain that these boys, or at least nine
tenths of them, drift into the army OF
tramps and thieves. The police can do
little to remedy the evil, because the
boys demean themselves to escape ar

It is misfortune that the value to a
farmer of what may be classed SO the
oretical acknowledgement as is gained
by reading or hearing lectures, or the
conversation of others, or by process
of reasoning-is often ignored or un-
derestimated. This want Of apprecia-
ton of such knowledge often arises
from a lack of any clear idea Of the
relative places of practical and
..theoreticar' knowledge. As indicated
above, practical knowledge-that
gained by personal experience or OBJ
servation-will enable farmer to meet
difficulty in simple manner, but the
farmer who relies wholly on his own
experience must necessarily be o mar
row man, and radical change in his
circumstances will leave him helpless.
A man who undertakes farming with
only theoretical knowledge will almost
certainly make many mistakes. and be
Justly liable to the change Of being
visionary" Such man, however, will

and adjust his theories to his circum-
stances. What is needed. OF course. is

Of knowledge.
1t is often sneeringly said that agri-
cultural colleges cannot make success

sense that it is true that no professional

Collecting Fall Waste.

Many persons feel the want OF ma
nure, and indeed there are few who
have more than they can use. Where
it is scarce the first thought is to buy.
and often this is the best plan; but in
many cases one might make considers
bly, by q little care for articles which
usually 60 to waste.
We know that there are many things
recommended that are OF little account,
things which involve hard labor and yet
realize but little in the end. Such are
often found in the various schemes for
making manure out of tan-bark. saw
dust, swamp muck, and-so-fOrth. which
once in while and under peculiar cir
cumstances may pay for themselves, but
are as general thing little more than
time thrown away.
But it is always good thing to keep
all parts Of ones place in a neat and
nice condition, and the material gath
cred together in this way into the COM
post heap will generally pay for itself.
However careful may be farmer o.
gardener to keep things clean. there
will often be odd corners that will be
left by the pressure of work to grow up
to coarse vegetation II this be cut
when leisure time comes it will gener-
ally pay in the compost heap. At this
season of the year, especially. there is
often a great quantity Of vegetable re-
fuse Of one sort or another lying about.
1t will pay to collect l.; and especially
is this true of leaves when they are in
any great quantity and not far away.
We have known persons with pretty
good judgment to hesitate about taking
second crop from a piece of grass
land in no: very good condition be-
cause they thought it would be running
the ground too hard to do so. They
say It is best to leave the vegetation on
the ground to rot This is very well
if it did rot; but little of it does. It
mostly dries up, and the best matter is
lost. 1t would pay much better to NOV
and put into the barnyard or compost
heap, and then return in TIE shape Of
top dressing afterwards. The extra Ia
Dor in case like this pays very well.
Above all is it good thing for those
who have no horse or cow-nO barn
yard-to save the little waste material
for a compost heap. Every garden
might have one in some by-place, not
exposed to view. 1t is an inducement
to have q clean place, aud then there's
profit in it--Germa'storn Telegraph.

PerniciOus Literature for, Boys.

The baneful effect of the pink and
yellOw-backed literature on the sus-
ceptible mind of boys is made striking
ly apparent in this city from day to
day. The number Of lads who run
away from home to be free from all pa
ternal restraint and seek such adven-
lures as their fancy may suggest. is by
no means on the decrease. Bradford
has been made an objective point for
numbers of these young runaways from
all sections of the country. Almost
daily during the summer the police
have been in receipt of kilograms and
letters of inquiry from anxious parents
and the authorities in other cities con-
corning boys who have disappeared
from home. In quite number OF in
stances the lads have been found here
and restored to their friends. Their
arrest has almost invariably been effect
ed through descriptions of the boys
furnished by their friends. Such adopts
do the boys become in evading the
truth when questioned by the authori-
ties that it is necessary to have further
evidence of their identity than the
statements which proceed from their
youthful lips. A case occurred one
day last week that is not without many
parallels during the spring and summer
months. A man named Mohre, resid-
ing in Oil City, apprised the police Of
his son, aged thirteen, having run away
from home. The father thought it
probable that the lad had made
his way to this city. A description of
the boy was furnished, anG the officers
soon found the lad in company with
squad of other boys in the lower part
of the city. The youth at first assumed
to be surprised, and claimed that he
could not be the boy in question. The
police have long since learned to deal
with such cases, and the little fellow
soon conceded that he was the run
away. He had been wandering about
for some time, and finally reached this
city by stealing rides from station to
station on passing trains. He had in
his possession small sum of money
about thirty cents. This was ample,
however. the lad stated, as ne had no
difficulty in procuring food without
money and without price. Some Of the
boys about the city of his own age pur
Joined articles of food at home and kept
him well supplied. In return for this
young Mohre permitted the youthful
commissariat to peruse a pink-backed
book on which high treasure was
placed. The title of the book was the
"Slang Dictionary of New York. Lon
don and Paris" 1t contained an ex-
tended list of the technical lingo of
tramps and thieves FUSED in the lead
ing cities of the world" with their
meaning and application. Also a Sc
cret system of enumeration and wril-
ten communication, with portraits
of celebrated criminals and sketches
Of their lives. There were in the book
numerous illustrations of garroting,
cracking a crib and cuts showing
how other criminal acts are performed.
A more perniciOus book to place in the
hands of boy ranging in age from ten
to sixteen years cannot be conceived.
After acquiring the arts and language
Of this work, some of the boys had in
contemplation the foundation of .

There is but one proper way Of
using tea pots and coffee pots made OF
tin, and that is tc empty them after
every meal and wash them out thor
oughly. The acids and salts in the tea
and coffee will act on the tin and so
spoil the flavor of the beverage.
