Successful Co.operatiou.

Philadelphia has a cooperative store

real estate worth $4,000. 1t pays an
annual dividend to It's shareholders of
SIX Der cent, aud returns quarterly to
customers from four to nine per cent. on
their purchases. The Geanager says the
whole secret OF success IN cooperation
Is to start on a small scale and to extend
the business slowly. To this rule be at

was begun eight years ago by several
men who worked in a factory, and
thought II would be good idea to cheap

Winter Flowing.

Periods OF mild weather occasionally
occur during the winter, and where the
fall blowing has been omitted. it NAV
protitably be done later. The agency of
frost IN making the soil fine and increas-
ing Its fertility, is not sufficiently appre-
ciated, Ii the soil be trenched or plowe1
after the crops are gathered and lett in
deep burrows, nearly twice the surface
is exposed TO the frost. The alternate
freezing and tbawing breaks down the
coarse Jumps and makes the plant food
therein more available for the crops of
the coming season. PlowIng at this
season also dIsiurbs the winter retreat of
many insects that viii be DESTROYED by
exposure to frost. The advantage of
working the soil IN late fall and winter is
seen In the cultivation Of celery. The
stirring of the soil in blanching the
crop, and the rough shape in which the
trenches are left, give the frost and rains
far opportunity TO improve its tiIth.
Frosts will fine the soil more perfectly
than any tools of the cultivator. Ii not
only releases the inert plant food in the
soil, but makes the manure that Is added
more available for the crops OF the next

THE WISDOM OF ALL.
BY BAYkRD TAYLOR.

The Prophet once, sitting in calm debate,
Said: ii am Wisdome fortress; but the gate
Thereof is ALL" Wherefore, some who heard
With unbelieving jealousy were stirred;
And, that they might on him confusion bring,
Ten of the boldest joined TO ptove the thing.
'.Let us then 10 Ali 60" they said,
s'And ask if Wisdom should be sought instead
OF earthly riches; then, II he repl
To each of us, in thought, accordingly.
And yet to none, in speech or phrase, the same,
His shall the honor be, and ours the shame"
Now when the first his bold demand did make
These were the words which Ali straightway sEake
s.wisdom is the inheritance of those
Whom Allah fayors: riches Of his foes.p
Unto the second he said: ''Thyself must be
Guard to thy wealth, but Wisdom guardeth thee
Unto the third: by wisdom wealth is won:
But riches purchased wisdom yet for none.'
Unto the fourth: "rhy goods the thief may take;
But into Wisdom's house he cannot break"
Unto the fifth: ssIby goods decrease the mors
Thou giy'st; but use enlarges Wlsdom's store"
Tn 3 the sixth: "wealth temptz to evil ways:
But he desire of Wisdom il Gods praise"
IN O the seventh: divide thy wealth. each rart
Be ONES pittance. Give with zen heart
Inv wisdom, and each separate gift shall be
All that thou hast, YET not impoverish thee"
Unto the eighth: wealth cannot keep itself:
But wisdom is the steward of pef."
Uuto the ninth: '.The camels slowly bring
Thy goods; but Wisdom has the swallows wing
Aud lastly, when the tenth did question make.
These we're the ready words which All spaks:
''Wealth is a darkness which the soul should fear.
But Wisdom is a lamp that makes it clear.r
Crimson with shame, tn questioners withdrew.
And they declared: "The Prophets words we're
true;
The mouth Of Ali is the golden door
OF Wisdom"
When his friends to Ali bore
These words, he smiled and said: ''And should they

FARM AND FIRESIDE.
winters Rest.

BY FRANK J. oTTARsoN
Now is the farmers time of rest
The time to reckon loss and gain
To note the lessons of the year,
For practice teaches not in vain;
Note what was wrong and what was right
What gain to heed, what loss to shun.
And thus to read the coming year
By lessons OF the passing one.
Kind Mother Earth had yielded up
Her five and ten and hundred fold
And heaven has blest his summer toll
With gamers trimming DER with gold
With golden wheat and golden corn
To feed the ever hungry mills,
With bUunteous yield OF all he sows.
And cattle on q hundred hills,
A free and happy life he lives,
This homespun farmer, strong and plain.
Free as the Mind that whirls the snow.
And into wind-rows slopes the rain
A free mar in Il nation free,
Himself the only king he owns,
He bows to God and Liberty,
And laughs ct emperors and thrones.
His yearly toll has borne its fruit:
It's garnered, and he sits at ease.
While winter and the wintry winds
Are wrestling with the barren trees.
He little heeds the war of trade,
For all he owes his grain Will pay.
And so he welcomes undismaytd
December and the settlng-day.

CAUSE FOR APPREHENSION.
why Mysterious Physical Troubles
Arouse Special Dread-A PROBES
siOnaI Experience.

Few things give more pain than dread or
apprehension. Most people are able to face
apparent danger heroically, but the sudden
and unexpected coming of some indefinite
calamity very naturally strikes terror to even
the brayest For this reason lightning and
torHadoes are considered terrible; their COM
ing and going are sudden, unannounced and
unknown. For this same reason an unknown
disease, some poison in the blood, some mala-
dy that is gradually undermining the life, is
specially dreaded by all thinking people. And,
indeed, there are good reasons for such dread,
for modern science has discovered that some
yirulent disorders show the least signs in their
beginnings, while they have the worst possible
symptoms. We know of many persons who
have dull and uncertain pains in various por-
tons of the body; who are unnaturally tired
one day, and apparently well the next; who
have an enormous appetite at times and a
loathIng Of food soon thereafter. Such per-
sons are really IN dangerous condition, even
though they may not realize IT. The follow

who has had unusual opportunities for inyes-
tlgaton Is of so striking and important a ma
