Mistakes Of Life.

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of life and arrived at the con-
clusion that there are fourteen of
them. Most people would say, if
they told the truth, that there was
no limit to the mistakes of life; that
they were like the drops in the
ocean or the sands of the shore in
number, but it is we'll to be accur-
ate. Here, then, are fourteen great
cit is great mistake to
set up our standard of right and
wrong and judge people according
ly; to measure the enjoyment of
others by our own; to expect uni
formity of opinion in this world; to
look for judgment and experience in
youth; to endeavor to mould all
opinions alike; not to yield to i'm
trifes; to look for perfec-
ton in our own actions; to worry
ourselves and others with what can
moi be remedied; not to alleviate all
that needs alienation as far as lies
in our power; not to make allow
ances for the infrmities of others;
to consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform; to believe
only what our finite minds can
grasp; to expect to be able to under
stand everything. The greatest of
mistakes is to live only for time,
when any moment may launch us
into enternity."

Moral.

If farmers as class will not take
an interest in public affairs they
may expect to be preyed upon by
the railroads. Railroad men now
boldly advocate a new principle of
fixing charges-viz., what the
traffic will BEAR" instead of the old
one upon which carriers charges
were based-"cost of service" Once
recognize the new theory-with wa
tered stock for an excuse and the
new pooling system furnishing the
power-the productions of cont
nent are largely at the mercy of the
corporations which the people have
created. In order to perpetuate
this system, railroad managers nat
urally seek political power. Both
the chairmen of the democratic and
republican national committees at
this time are railroad men, and
railroad money is largely relied up
on to run the political machines.
Congress, as also many of our State
Legislatures, is controlled by the
railroads. First, through officers
or directors, who become legisla-
tors for that purpose; second, and
perhaps more largely, through
members of the legal profession who
are also Legislators, and are re
tanned as counsel by the rail
roads; third, through special favors
shown all the members.
Is it not about time that the
farmers, who represent by far the
largest single interest in this coun-
try, and whose productions are the
basis of all prosperity, should have
something to say about the amount
they are taxed for transportation?
In England the Farmers, Alliance
held the balance of power at the
last general election. What Is to
prevent their organizing in every
assembly and congressional dis
trict here, and take an interest in
politics which would not only pro
tect their own interest but be an
efficient check upon the encroaeh
ments of corporations which have
been so great of late that all pa
triotic citizens must view their in
creasing power with alarm?

'Do you think so, darling?"-
YES" said the girl, passing her
plate for more pie and smiling arch
ly as she spoke, ''kisses, and en-
braces, and fair words are very
pleasant things-sweet lips, and
warm arms, and loving eyes-but
truth, and sincerity, loyalty, and
purity are very much fairer and
rarer." "You are right" replied
her husband, looking at her with
loving tenderness, "you are right,
sweetheart, and L viii not deceive
you any longer. what do you
mean?" she asked, look of horror
passing over her face. "There is
but one piece of pie said George
w. Simpson, "and l shall tackle it
myself"

Insanity is startlingly on the in
crease in the so-called civilized
world. In 1870 the insane popula-
ton of the United States amounted
to 81, 442, the ratio being L to LOO,
while in 1880 the number was esti-
mated to he $4,000 to $4,000, which
gives a ratio of l to $40 to 1920 of
the whole population. As regards
the distribution of insanity, the le-
turns show that the disease is most
prevalent in the New England states,
where the ratio is l to 367; then
come the middle states, with l To
446: the western, with | &C. 51O;
lastly the southern, with 1 to $50.
In rapidly Of increase the western
come first. the southern second.
The asvlums are said to he over
crowded to the extent of 10000 pa
tients. while there are $4,000 for
whom there is no accommodation.

o, Upright Judge! + 0, Learned
Judge"

A case Of grim justice, tinged also
with a dash of humor, occurred re
Gently at the session of the county
court at White Plains, Westchester
county, Judge S. D. Clifford presid-
ing. An old man of eighty two was
brought before the court on a war
rant in favor of the overseers of the
poor for the town Of New Rochelle,
to compel him to support his son, a
man of thirty-fve, who, on account
of his Incorporate habits, would
otherwise become a town pauper.
Judge Clifford, in disposing of the
case said: "The town grants these
liquor dealers licenses to sell liquor
these dealers licensed by the town
create paupers, and the town should
support these paupers. Motion
denied" This is certainly to the
point, and though the Judge is not
accounted a temperance fanatic, "
he, on that occasion, delivered a
most effective temperance lecture,
by exposing the participation Of the
govern nent in the denominations of
the liquor traffic, and the response
bility of the public for its evil re
suits.

How They Sucked the Pencil.

Newspaper men and stenogra-
pliers are familiar with the fact
that wetting a good lead pencil
hardens the lead and ruins the pen
Gil. A clerk in a city newspaper of
flee tired of having his best pencil
spoiled by borrowers, got some
cheap pencils, sharpened them, and
kept them to lend. The first per
son who took up the stock-pencil
was drayman, whose breath smelt
of onions and whisky. He held
the point in his mouth and soaked
it for several minutes, while he was
torturing himself in the effort to
write the advertisement for miss
bulldog. Then a sweet-looking
young lady came into the office,
with kid gloves that buttoned half
the length of her arm. She picked
up the pencil and pressed it 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 a box
of the best pencils Faber catered,
but he was too late. And thus that
pencil passed from mouth to mouth
| for week. 1t was sucked by peo-
pie of all ranks and stations, and all
degrees of cleanliness and unclean-
illness. But we forbear. Surely no
one who reads this will ever again
wet q lead pencil.

Our Young People
Food for THOUGHT.

Love can excuse anything but
but meanness kills love,
and cripples even natural affection.
There is no one else who has the
power to be so much your friend or
so much your enemy as yourself.
That only can with propriety be
styled refinement, which, by
Strengthening the intellect, purifies
the manners.
To all men the best friend is vir-
tue; the best companions are high
endeavors and honorable sentiments.
We are often more cruelty rob-
bed by those who steal into our
hearts than by those who break in
to our houses.
OF all monarchs, nature is the
most just in the enactment of laws,
and the most rigorous in Furnishing
the violation of them.
Some of us fret inwardly, and
some fret outwardly. The latter
is the better plan for our friends,
but the worse for oul selves.
Never retire at night without be
ing wiser than when you rose in the
morning, by having learned some
thing useful during the day.
A plodding diligence brings us
sooner to our journeys end than q
duttering way of advancing by
starts.
The first ingredient in @conversa
ton is truth, the next good sense
the third good humor and the fourth
wit.
Enthusiasm is that temper O
mind in which the imagination has
got the better of the judgment.

How to Save Seed.

In other words, how to prevent
crops from deteriorating, is a most
inn IOrtant question, lying at the
foundation Of all agricultural pros
pc rity. Natures law is multiply
add replenish," no matter as to the
p articular quality, but everything
sLs to quantity. "The survival OF
the fittest" governs the result. But
natures operations are too slow for
our short lives, so the business of
the cultivator is to aid mother ma
ture, and thus reach the best re
suits in the shortest periods.
1t is fact too well known that,
ordinarily, crops deterioate, and
this, for one reason, because the
seed becomes weakened. The sto-
ry of "Dreer's Lima Beans" will IL
lustrate the idea and explain the
whole modus operandi of saving
seed.
Some years ago gardner asked
our friend Mr.. Sanders how he
could improve the Lima bean. He
was told to find, if possible, a pod
having at least four beans; the
next season to plant one, the larg-
est and best of these; the next sea
son to select as before one bean,
the one which not only seemed to
the eye the largest and best, but
the one that would weigh the most,
and then to pursue this method for
several years. The result we all
know is a really great improvement
of that delicious vegetable.
1 have seen a stalk of corn bear
ing ten ears. OF course, this nine
fold increase came from selecting
the seed, at first, of stalk that
bore two good ears, then there
would be q few with three ears, and
so on until the grand result was
know that many farm
ers say that if they can get Que
good ear on each stalk, they will be
satisfied. Well, such are not very
and will buy corn from
\ neighbours crib and plant the
best of this. OF course they get
only an ordinary crop. Is not
1hAo tnC 1CdSOn tAsab SAOWlnS III
dian corn has become such a poor
and unpaying business? For my
part, l will let the idiots grow this
corn, and will purchase it in the
fall for less than two dollars per
barrel.
We have many new varieties of
wheat but if 1 were lgrowing it l
would screen out from one hun
dred bushels any one bushel of the
largest and plumpest berries, and
sowing this, would, the next sa-
SON do likewise, and would ulti-
get the very best seed wheat.
There is one other idea involved in
this to which we all need to take
heed. 1t is the seed that impov-
erisihed the soill The more seed
the greater the grain, anGl therefore
the greater need of more fertiliZing.

and buttermilk in producing mag
nificent specimens of humanity In
marked contrast to the splendid
physique of the Irish peasantIry is
that of the French and the Italians,
for the most part, and it would be
well worth the while ofthe scientific
INQUIRER to investigate the causes
ofso remarkable a contrast between
persons whose conditions OF life
seem to have been and to be IN
many respects so similar: Anotn-
err marked difference is, that while
the Irish family averages seven,
the French family averages about
two, and the Italian, we believe,
three. Thus, after centuries of ex
traordinary poverty and privation,
the Irish remains the most prolific
of European races and second to
none in point of physique.

Things Worth Knowing.

A poultice of fresh tea leaves,
moistened with water, will cure
stye on the eyelid.
For earache, dissolve assafetida
in water; warm a few drops and
drop in the ear, then cork the ear
with wool.
The true physiological way
of treating burns and scalds is
to at once exclude the air, with cot
ton. batting, -four, scraped potato or
anything that is handles.
Use fresh water, Water which
has stood in an open dish over night
should not be used for cooking or
drinking, as it will have absorbed
many foul gases.
Mix a little carbonate of soda
with the water in which flowers are
immersed, and it will preserve them
for fortnight. Common saltpetre
is also a very good preservative.
Take a new flower pot, wash it
clean, wrap it in a wet cloth, and
set over butter, it VII keep it as
hard as if on ice. Milk, if put into
an earthen can, or even a tin one,
will keep sweet for a long time, if
well wrapped in a wet cloth.
Common soda is excellent for
securing tin, as it will not scratch
the tin, and will make it look like
new. Apply with piece of moist
newspaper and polish with a dry
piece. Wood ashes are good sub
stitute.
To cure bunions use pulverized
saltpetre and sweet oil. Obtain at
druggists five or six cents worth
Of saltpetre; put it into bottle with
sufficient olive oil to dissolve it,
shake up well and rub the inflamed
joints night and morning, and more
frequently if painful.
Flies may be more effectually dis
posed of without the use of poison.
Take half teaspoonful of black
pepper in powder and one teaspoon
full of cream. Mix them well to-
