A tart temper seldom mellows with age
A person, truly noble, cannot be in
suited.
Allow people TO think as well of each
other as they can.
An unruly tongue is harder to control
than vicious horse
A character which will not defend itself
is rarely worth defending
A friend should bear with friends in
frmities, but not his vices.
sharp tongue is the only edged tool
that grows keener with constant use.
A person often repents of talking too
much, but seldom of saying too little.
Air and scandal are much alike; the Of
tener they are breathed the more poisonous
they become.
As the next thing to having wisdom our
selves is to profit by that of others, so the
next thing to having merit ourselves is to
take care that the meritorious profit by us;
for he that rewards the deserving, makes
himself one of the number.

Our faculties for exercising an influence
over others are so many and great that it
is difficult to converse together without ex-
erting mutual influence; and every man
who critically examines his intellectual and
moral state will observe that however short
his interview with another person may be
it has had an effect upon him. And this
influence is usually exerted when we think
little about it; but we have probably left
impressions upon some minds which will
never be erased. And this influence and
has often great power A single
instance of advice, reproof, caution or en-
may decide the question of
mans responsibility, usefulness and happi
ness for lifetime. How important, then,
hat we improve every opportunity to make
,ur lives a blessing to others.

Apple-butter is made by boiling sliced
apples, first pared and cored, in sweet ci-

one-half its bulk before the apples are
stewed in it. The butter is packed in
kegs, jars, or bottles, and will keep long
time. A large quantity is made for use on
sea-going vessels. Any kind of flavoring
may be used, but no sugar is required.

The National Liye Stock Journal sums

up the reasons why every farmer should
have flock of sheep: A farm can be
stocked with sheep for less money than
with cattle, horses or hogs. Sheep will
come nearer to utilizing everything that
grows on the farm than other animals. Less
labor will be required for getting feed and
stock together. The returns will come in
sooner and oftener than with any other
farm stock except hogs. Less money is re-
CURED for shelter and fencing, and less la
Dor is involved in herding, where outside
pasturagc is accessible and preferred. And
finally handsome income on the invest
ment can be had without the sale of the an
imals themselves.

An English farmer has invented meth
cd of curing hay by an artificial process.
BY means of tubes penetrating the stack or
mass of hay, the hot air is exhausted from
the central parts, thus forcing current of
cold air through the mass from the outside
to replace it, In the COOL moist, climate
of England, where there are few good hay
days, a practical method of curing hay by
artificial means would seem TO be desirable,
and even in this country, if some process
could be devised by which our hay could
be safely stored in greener condition,
there would be the advantage at least of
improving its quality.

General Stephen Thomas, of war time
fame, is another with strong belief in en-
siage. He claims to have built the first
silo is Vermont, though he is not the only
claimant of that honor He believes the
silo is going to "revolutionize farming as
nothing else has ever DONE" He says that
81. 80 per ton exceeds the entire cost of his
ensiage up to the time of feeding it out.
His stock now numbers 40 head, but he
expects to be able to keep more than dou-
BILE that number by feeding ensilage.

Nere and Hereafter.


All days are great Atonement days,
All men who come and humbly bring,
AS incense with their offering
OF broken hearts, true prayer and praise,
Are priests on Gods Atoneinent days.
Their souls are sanctuarles where,
Close curtained from the world of sin,
The covering cherubs brood within,
Making, amid earths deserts bare,
Holies-ofhoiest everywhere.
The Spirit-lighted mercy-seat
To every aliens foot Is free,
Whateer his Gentle life may be,
II he but bring ObatiOns meet
To lay before that mercy seat.

The breast-plate wrought OF precious stone.

In his supreme, white righteousness
Robes him as with the high.priests dress.

The mystic blood OF Sacrifice
Within his hand of proffered price,
Before the absolving peace shall fall

Where Christ doth manifest his grace
Each day wherein men trust, obey,
And love, is an Atonement day

Packing Eggs.

There is mode Of packing eggs by
which they may be safely carried any
distance, and over rough roads, with
out any damage. And there is anothe her
mode by which half of them may be
very easily broken. The secret lies in
solid packing. with an elastic material
between the layers. We have watched
many barrels of eggs opened without a
single broken one in them; and many
badly packed, which we would not
have handled had they been given to us
for nothing. The proper mode OF
packing, either in barrels. boxes, or
baskets, is to place first layer of long
hay or straw three inches thick in the
bottom. On this scatter an inch Of
cut hay or straw, or chaff of oats, or
whatever packing is used; then place
the eggs on their sides, not touching
each other, and when the layer is COM
plete, spread over them and between
the cut stuff or chaff two inches deep.
Press this down gently with piece of
board. and put another layer Of eggs.
taking care that they do not touch
each other. .-Erchasge.

"A series of fatalities. accidents. and

"A series of fatalities, accidents, and
crimes have occurred in Switzerland this
summer. Since the earthquake of July
21, and the storm which inflicted losses
estimated at ten million francs, seven
men have been drowned in the Lake of
the Four Cantons by the overturning of
boat; a peasant of the neighborhood
has drowned his lunatic brother in the
same lake; three German tourists have
lost their lives by a boat accident on
Lake Constance; three young ladies,
while bathing in the Aar, we're swept
away by the current and drowned; a
young man has been drowned in the
Lake of Bienne, and several deaths have
been caused by lightning, sunstreke,
and the falling of trees. During storm
colossal statue of Helvetia, which had
been erected to do honor to the Federal
rifle meeting at Fribourg, was blown
down, and one member of the Reception
Committee was killed. On the same
day the murdered body of young wo-
man was found in a public park, and
there is no clue to the criminal. A few
days earlier number of criminal lu-
natics, who had been confined in pris-
on in Unterwalden, were allowed to 60
out for walk, when they all took to
flight, and are still at large. AS some
of them have committed murders, the
people of the district are in a state OF

An eccentric citizen of Bangor, Me-,
who has no confidence in the science Of
architecture, placed q new water con-
ductor along the caves of a double tene.
ment house, and subsequently found
that the end which should have been the
lower was in reality the higher, and that
water would not run up hill. The dis
coyery was embarrassing in its results,
and the old fellow cogitated long and
deeply in an effort to remedy the blum
der. Finally he came to the conclusion
that the best way to overcome the diff
Guilty would be to remove the underpin-
ming from the end of the house at which
the gutter was too low, and then raise
this end of the house by means of jack
screws. The result, SO far as the water
was concerned, was entirely satisfacto-
~; but the owner of the other tene-
ment was put to considerable expense
and annoyance by the ceiling in his part
cracking and the doors springing off of
balance so they would not shut.
