aagD Keep accounts and know precisely what
is done, and is doing, and how the business
of the farm is paying, in what particular it
is paying, and where it is losing. Farming
does pay. 1t is the most profitable business
in the world. The loose and careless manner
in which it is generally carried on would ut.
terly wreck any less profitable business
There was once man who made certain at
tachments for looms known as "pickers," and
prepared the raw hide from which they were
made himself But he thought it was more
cleanly and better business to buy the hides
and merely cut them up aud make the pick.
ers. So he bought the hides from neighbor,
and the first year he was overwhelmed with
debt and sold out, and his neighbor became
rich by curing hides. The unfortunate man
made money so fast before, that he never
troubled himself how it was made, and only
learned too late that one part of his business
was profitable and the other was not but then
he had given over to his neighbor the profits
and kept the losses for hinself 1t is much
the same with farming. for no one can tell
where he is losing or making money, without
accounts Just now is seasonable time to
consider this matter and to begin new and
more reasonable and safe system. Rural

JoURNEyING ON FRIDAy.-Conductor viii
liam Coulter, of the Pennsylvania Railroad
has been rlnning on trains between Jersey
City and Philadelphia, for about forty-6vt
years, and ne seems to have twenty years o.
work in him yet. One of the thousand o.
travellers that he knows remarked to him the
other day that his train was lighter thar
usual "Oh, we'll" said Conductor Coulter
"it's Friday you know
"What difference does that make?" asked
the passenger.
"Why, there is always falling off of trav
ell on Friday. 1t may seem strange, but the
old superstition that Friday is an unlucky
day to make journey on, still keeps many
at home on Friday. Any railroad man will
tell you that"
Captain Dennis who runs another train to
Philadel phia, Conductor James Fields, who
takes night train to Washington, and Con.
fuctor Thomas Gallagher who runs to New
Brunswick, are the oldest conductors on the
Pennsylvania Railroad. They all confirm
the sreteran Conductor Coulters averment
about the falling off in travel on Friday, and
share his opinion that it is caused by the
popular superstition that Friday is an un.
lucky day to start on a journey. Supeein
tendent McCrea, of the New York Division
of the Pennsylvania road, was disposed to
disbelieve the theory of the old conductors
He thought if there was any falling off of
travel on Fridays, it was explainable by the
fact that Friday falls late in the week, and
many peopl, return to their homes on Satur.
day. Superintendent McCrea, however, cour.
teously procured from the general office Sc
res Of tabulsted figures showing the number
of passengers carried on each day of the week
for two months. The figures show that there
is probably ,ome slight ground for the theory
of the old conductors. Of the passengers
carried on the six week days, Is per cent.
are carried on Friday, while there is an aver.
age of II per cent. carried on each of the
other five week days. In other words, there
is falling off on Fridays of nearly one-eighth
as compared with the average of other week
days. The days of heaviest travel (giving
the figures approximately Monday, with 19
per cent, and Saturday with Is per cent,
there being many persons going to and re-
turning from business on those days. The
percentages shown on other week days are
On Tuesday, 1926 per cent; Wednesday,
1875 per cent; Thursday, Is per cent, and
Friday Is per cent.

/ COPS LOVE INExHAUsTIBLE.-Suppose a
meadow in which million daisies opened
their blossoms all at one time to the sun. On
one of them while it is yet bud, a little
stone has fallen. At once crushed and over
shadowed, it still struggles bravely against all
odds to expand its petals like the rest. For
many days this effort is continued without
success. The tiny stone "a mighty rock to the
small fower) squats on its breast, and will
not admit single sunbeam. At length the
flower stalk, having gathered strength by its
constant exertion, acquires force enough to
overbalance the weight, and tosses the intru.
der off, Up springs the daisy with bound,
and in an instant another foweret is added to
the vast multitude which in that meadow
drink their fill of sunlight The sun in the
heavens is not incommoded by the additional
demand. The newcomer receives into its
open cup as many sunbeams as it would have
received although no other flower had grown
in all the meadow-in all the earth. Thus
the sun, finite though It be, helps US to under
stand the in6nitude of its Maker. When all
immortal being long crushed and turned
away by load Of sin, at length, through the
power of new spiritual life, throws off the
burden, and opens with bound to receive
Heavenly Fathers long offered but rejected
love, the giver is not impoverished by the de-
mand upon His kind ness. Although thou
sand millions should arise and 60 to the Faith

er's love as if he alone of all fallen creatures
had come back reconcled to God.-Rev Wm.

He replied: No; it is only necessary to

Sermons, lectures and books abound on the
temptations which lie along the life course OF

SITTING ABOUT SroREs.-More than twen'
ty years ago one Of our friends took long
trip, in which he tarried for night at the
pleasant town of s.. The next day he
called on the minister of the place. Having
sat short time, the pastor proposed a walk
to the business part of the town. The two
friends came to store with porch to it.
They were soon seated on some boxes or
benches. One by one the company increased.
Our traveller soon perceived that this was the
usual resort of number of men. The boxes
and benches of pine were good deal cut up
with knives. The stain or juice of tobacco
was unpleasant, indeed, disgusting. Our
traveller soon left, and with painful appre-
tensions of that company. He heard that
the pastor often spent part of his mornings
there. His studies were neglected. The
sick and afflicted among his people were not
visited That pastor has long since made a
shipwreck of character and of usefulness.
The traveller lately sent this message to a
young minister who was falling into like hab-
its: 20! stay at home. Mind your book.
Pray and work against habits of idleness.
Do not sit on boxes about the village. Take
heed lest you fall ALSO"

PRESERVATION OF EGGs.-The sure and
simple method of keeping eggs sound by
smearing the shells with linseed oil, has long
been practiced The oil forms sort of a
film over the shell, thereby preventing the
two immediate causes of decomposition
evaporation from and penetration Of air into
the egg. A recent experiment in point de
serves notice. A dozen new laid eggs were
rubbed over with linseed oil applied with the
tip of the finger; another dozen were coated
in like manner with poppy oil; two more
eggs were left in their natural state. The
whole tweDty.six were then laid close togeth-
er, in three rows, on dry sand upon shelf,
where they were left undisturhed. At the
end of three months they we're weighed, and
again at the end of six months, when they
were opened. The two eggs left in their nat
ural state, at the end of three months had
lost II per cent. of their weight, and at the
end of six months l3 per cent, and we're
found to be half empty and the contents rot.
ten. The eggs coated with poppy oil, in three
months, lost 2 per cent, and in six months 4s
per cent of their weight. The eggs were still
full, and devoid of unpleasant smell. The
eggs rubbed over with lnseed oil, in three
months, lost per cent, and in six months 8
per cent, only of their weight, and when
opened were found to be full, with the smell
Of fresh eggs.
