Preserving Farmers wives.

preserved farmers wife yet tosee. 1heIs

bachelors. We have heard of the latter
being picked, but have never seen

make better pickle than preserve. bqU
the poor, tired farmers wife never nllds
time to preserve herself. 1t Is always

Now, we come before you with
recipe to preserve farmers wives. Never
worry, take all the rest that Is needed TO
recuperatc your strength, that has been
wasted over the preserving pan, Get
You a washing machine, a sewing ma
chine and an organ. Read, and keep
yourself posted SO Won can talk with your
| husband; have something newa to tell
him, and don't always be under the
constrained duty of keeping silent and
learning of him Go to all the public
| gatherings with him. This gives Won the
! change that is SO much needed. do not

will add years to your youth and
health.
According to statistics there are
more farmers wives in the. insane
asylums than of any other class. This
| is simply because there Is not enough
! change IN their lives, as they have bnt
| one round of duties to be gone through
with, year in and year out. We have
read that You could put a sane person in
| n walled-IIp room and contine him there
and he would soon become insane; and
we have come to the conclusion that it
is the want of this change that drives
| farmers wives to insanity. The average
farmers wife has not even reading mat
ter provided for her. The farmer gen
orally takes paper that gives the mar
/ l1ets and his political views. This satisfies
him. and he never takes a thought but
what 1t is all sufficient for her. There
are very few women who have been edu-
Gated to take an interest IN politics, and
they should have something suited to
their tastes We heard a farmers wife
say, not long since, that she had never
read a word in a newspaper since she had
been Il married woman If that woman
Is preserved physically, she certainly is
not mentally. Farmers wives, take more
time to preserve yourselves, and let some
of the other preserving go. Your fami-
lies viii be Just as healthy, and you Will
be able to serve them better. -Read by
G.Lddy before a Missouri Grange.

What Makes Legal Marriage in New
York,

The Court of Appeals, through Justice
Folger, has clearly defined what consti-
tutes marriage contract in this State;
BY the law Of this State a man and
woman who are competent to marry each
other, without going before a minister or
magistrate, without previous public no.
tice given, with no form or ceremony,
civil or religious, and with no record or
written evidence of the act kept, and
merely by words of present contract be-
tween them, may take upon themselves
relation OF husband and wife, and be
bound to themselves, to the State aud
society as such. And if after that the
marriage is denied, proof of actual CO
habitation as husband and wife, acknowl-
edgement and recognition of each other
to friends and acquaintances and the
public as such, and the general reputa-
ton thereof, will enable a Court to pre-
sumo that bona tide marriage.-Troy

We All Have Faults

He who boasts of being perfect is per-
feet in his folly. / have been a great
deal up and down In the world, and I
never vet saw perfect man or horse, and
never shall until l see Sundays come
together.
You cannot get white flour out of a
coal sack. nor perfection out of human
nature: he who looks for it had better
look for sugar in the sea. The old say
ing is "Iifeless, faultless." OF dead
men we should say nothing but good;
but as for The living, they are all tarred
more or less with a black brush, and
half an eve can see it. Every heart has
a soft place in it, and every heart has its
black drop.
Every rose has its prickles, and every
day its night Even the sun shows spots,
and the skies are darkened with clouds.
Nobody is sowise but he has folly enough
to stock stall at Vanity Fair. Where
/ could see the FOOLS cap, have never
theless heard the bells jingle As there
is no sunshine without some shadows, so
all human good is mixed up with more
or less evil; even poor law guardians
have their little failings, and parish
beadles are not wholly Of heavenly
nature
The best wine has its lees. All mems
faults are not written on their foreheads
and it is quite as well they are not, or
hats would need wide rims; yet as sure
as eggs are eggs fault of some kind nes-
ties in every mans bosom.

Fell Against a Sharp Edge.

This is furnished by Mr.. VIM. VIII,
1913 Frankfort ave, Philadelphia, Pa. ::
Some time since l received a severe in
jury to my back, by falling against the
sharp edge of a marble step. the stone
penetrating it at least half-inch, and
leaving n very painful wound After
suffering for a time, L concluded to APP
ply st. Jacobs Oil, and am pleased to
say. that the results exceeded my expec-
tations. 1t speedily allayed all pain and
swelling and by continued use, made a
perfect cure. l really think 1t the most
etficacious hniment l ever used.-ROck-

The tabby cat - not tapping milk just
now, but leave the dairy door open, and
we will see if she is not as big thief as
the kitten. There's fire in the flint, cool
as it looks; wait till the steel gets knock
at it, and Won will see. Everybody can
read that riddle, but it is not everybody
that will remember to keep his gunpow-
der out of the way Of the candle.
Yes, and the very ones who cry the
loudest over ones faults have grosser
failings in themselves. It is a much cas-
Ter thing to point out and speak of a
mans faults than it is to say you are sorry
he has them. Together hand in hand
with faults and failings, should go sym
pathy. Then we could say that we had
soberly reflected on these faults of
others, and then how much the sum of
human happiness could be advanced by
sympathy.
We get cheerfulness and vigor, we
scarcely know how or when, from mere
association with our fellow men. and from
the looks reflected on us of gladness and
enjoyment. We catch inspiration and
power to go on from human presence
and from cheerful looks. The woman
works with additional energy having
others by. The full family circle has a
strength and life peculiarly its own. The
substantial good and effectual relief
which men extend to another is trihing.
1t is not by these, but something far less
costly that the work is done. Our Maker
has insured it by much more simple
machinery. He has given to the weak
est and the poorest, power to contribute
largely to the common stock of gladness.
The child's smile and laugh are mighty
powers in this world. When bereave-
ment has lett you desoate, or misfortune
. bowed you to the earth, what substan-
tial benefit is there which makes con-
dolence acceptable9 1t can bestow on
you nothing permanent. But warm
hand has touched yours, and its thrill
told you that there is indeed living
response there to your every emotion.
On look, one human sigh, has done more
for you than the costliest present could
convey.
How much better then would it be for
us all to eschew altogether calling at
tention to each other faults, and prac-
tice sympathy strictly and entirely

Materials for History.

If the history of the War of the Re
bellion is ever fully and impartially writ
ten, the facts must be gathered not only
from official reports and pretentious vol
umes, but from the thousands of letters
written from the field to newspapers OF
sent by officers and soldiers to their
friends These waits will often supply
an explanation 10 events imperfectly or
incorrectly set forth elsewhere. There
is no doubt n mass Of valuable material
III the unpublished correspondence TO be
found in many private households. How
ever trifiiug in interest 1t may appear to
those who wrote or those who received
the letters, it should be carefully noted
wherever there Is a possibility of its be-
/ ing important, and copies or the origi-
nal be deposited in public libraries, or

These remarks have been auggeeted by
an incident within our own knowledge.
