The Xay to Health.

The only true way to health is that
which common sense dictates to man.
Live within the bonds of reason. Eat
moderately, drink temperately' avoid
excess in anything, and preserve a
conscience "voia of offense.' Some
men eat themselves to death, some drink
themselves to death, some wear out
their lives by Incidence and some by
over exertion; others are killed by the
doctors, while not few sink into the
grave from the effects of vicious and
beastly practices. All the medicines In
creation are not worth q farthing TO a
man who is constantly and habituaily
violating the laws Of his own nature.
All the medical science in the world
cannot save him from premature grave.

Cracking Wheat Into Flour.

Care Of Sheep.

In pasturing sheep and lambs, the
benefit is not only to the animals but
to the pastures, which are already i'm
proved. Sheep are very discriminate
feeders, and will eat not only grass, but
also shrubs, weeds and every green
thing that starts in early spring, and
thus destroy and keep down most Of
the foul stuff that usurps the place OF
grassland they tend to leave the pas.
lures clean for fine grass to grow.
Their manure also scattered in small
quantities as they travel over the ground,
is readily absorbed by the earth and
becomes the best plant food possible,
and accomplishes what cannot well be
done by grubbing or top-dressing TO
renovate pasture land. It is important
that the fences around sheep pastures
should be close and well kept; especial
ly that walls should be well laid up,
and holes and gaps in rail fences,
thoroughly stopped. The downs and
all mutton sheep are not disposed to
Jump and in good pasture with rea.
sonable protection may be restrained
almost US easily as horned cattle, but II
there is a broken rail in the fence or ii
there is place where the wall has been
tumbled down so as to form almost .
series of steps over which they may
pass, they are quite likely to take I'D.
vantage of the owners negligence and
seek larger liberty. Polling stone
wall if the sheep are not properly edu-
Gated to stay within the pasture is not
very expensive, and single barbed
wire stretched along above the top OF
the wall is sure prevention to escape.
While sheep require less water in pro-
portion to their size than other animals,
vet they should be sailed once week.

wettlnu Lead Pencils.


The act of putting lead pencil to the
tongue to wet it just before writing,
which we notice in so many people, is
one Of the oddities for which 1t Is hard
to give any reason--unles 1t began In
the days when lead pencils were poorer
than now, and continued by example
into the next generation.
A lead pencil should never be wet
It hardens the lead and ruins the pencil.
This fact Is known to newspaper men
and stenographers. But nearly every
one else does wet pencil before using
it, This fact is definitely settled by a
newspaper clerk away down east.
Being of mathematical turn of mind,
he aecertained by actual count that of
fifty persons who came into the office to
write an advertisement or church notice
forty-nine wet pencil in their mouth
before using 1t. This clerk always uses
the best pencils, cherishing good one
with something of the pride soldier
feels In his sword or gun, and it hurt his
feelings to have his pencils spoiled. But
POii'ShCoo ohu DuSlhcsS COnbiuClaOiOho
required him to lend pencils scores of
times every day. And often after it had
been wet until it had been hard and
brittle and refused to mark, his feelings
would overpower him.
Finally he got some cheaper pencils
and sharpened them and kept them to
lend. The first person who took up the
stock pencils was drayman, whose
breath smelt of onions and whskey.-
He held the point in his mouth and soak
ed 1t for several minutes while he was
torturing himself in the effort to write
an advertisement for missing bull
dog.
Then a sweet-looking young lady
came in the office, with kid-gloves that
buttoned half the length of her arm.-
She picked up the same old pencil and
pressed to her dainty lips preparatory to
writing an advertisement for a lost brace
let. The clerk would have stayed her
hand, even at the risk Of box of the
best pencils Faber ever catered, but he
was too late.
And thus that pencil passed from
mouth to mouth for week. It was
sucked by people of all ranks and sta
tions, and all degrees of cleanliness and
uncleanliness. Surely no one who reads
this will ever again wet lead pencil.

Owego Gazette: Mr. CORNELIUS BROOKS,
of Tioga Centre. while cleaning up Some
roots etc, from piece of land which he had
been clearing of stumps, last Thursday, at a
moment when his attention was attracted else
where, suddenly became conscious of crawl
ing sensation about one of his legs. Looking
down he discovered huge blacksnake coil
ing itself abont his leg, together with piece
of root which he was holding in his hand,
In his other hand Mr.. BROOKS had sharp
axe, and with strange presence of mind he
cody waited until the reptiles head came
across the piece of root in passing around for
the third coil and deliberately struck with his
axe and cut the snakes head off. 1t was a
monster of snake, as large as mans wrist
and over six feet long.
