PROVIDING FOR THE RENT.-A fve-year-

thoroughly impressed upon her that "God

conversation ofmembers of the household

put in his appearance and was asked to wait
while for the rent, little five-year-eld was

leave, asked:

How TO TEST FLoUR.-Th writer of the
following, which we quote from provincial
paper, speaks as one with authority: "Place
a thimbleful in the palm of the hand, and
rub it gently with the finger. If the flour
smooths down, feeling gentle and slippery,
it is of inferior quality, though of fancy
brand, high-priced and white as the Vir-
gin snow drift, and will never make
good, light, wholesome bread. But II the the
flour rubs rough in the palm, feellng IKE Mhke
confidently. 1t will not disappoint you:
Such flour, whatever may be it's branded
reputation, though it's price can be at the
lowest figure, will make good, light, nutrl-
tiOus bread.n

perpetually for new ideas. They will learn
with pleasure from the lips of parents what
they deem drudgery to study in books and
of many educational advantages, they will
grow up intelligent if they enjoy in child
hood the privilege of listening daily to the
conversation of Intelligent people. We
sometimes see parents who are the life of
every company which they enter, dull, 81
lent, and uninteresting at home among their
children. If they have not mental activity
and mental stores sufficient for both, let
them first use what they have for their own
household. A silent home is a dull place
for young people, a place from which they
will escape if the " can. How much useful
information, on the other hand, is often Civ,
what conscious, but excellent mental train
ing, is lively, social argument. Cultivate to
the utmost the graces of conversation.

REFINING HoRsE.-One Of the most
senseless, and yet a very common habit of
American people, is the refining of driving
horses so tight as to iniict upon them a
great deal of pain, under the mistaken idea
that it adds to the stylish appearance of the
animal. When people see horses head
drawn up by the bearing rein, and see him
stepping short and champing the bit, toss
ing his head and rattling the harness, they
assume that he is acting in the pride of his
strength and fullness of spirit, whereas the
animal is only suffering agonies of pain,
and is trying to gain, by these movements,
momentary relief. TO our view, horse
looks better, and we know he feels better,
when pursuing natural, leisurely swing
ing gait. 1t is as necessary for his head to
osciflate in response to the motions of his
body, as it is for mans hand to do the same
thing. A horse allowed his head, will work
easier and last longer than one on which a
check is used Blinds are another popular
absurdity in the use of horses. They col
lect dust around the eye and are in every
way nuisance. A horse that cannot be
driven with safety without them, should
be sold to a railroad grader. No colt should
be broken to them.

PEAS AND BEANS BETTER THAN CORN
Growing stock should not be kept in a fat
condition. for the demand of the system is
chiefly for muscle producing matter. There
is no concentrated material on the farm that
supplies the desideratum in full, and, though
nature has furnished farmers with splendid
agents for this purpose in the shape OF peas
and beans, the. opportunity is not improved.
For early pasture or soiling after rye, apiece
of land broad-casted to tall growing green
peas, mixed with oats, is invaluable. The
writer of this once kept COW up to flow of
milk until late in the season by succession
of such crops, and that, too, on piece of
white sand land. 1t is not known by some
that, if these vines are cut and nicely cured
when Just about to bloom, they will furnish
a good crop of nutritious hay; but, if not
cut at Towering time, the leaves will crum-
BILE away. Ground peas or beans are eco
nomical for feeding, owing to the great saw
ing they effect. Farmers are tempted to
part with them at $500 bushel, when they
often bring more than that sum 4; but, if we
stop and reflect that this meal, mixed half
and half with one-third the quantity Of hay,
a great saving is madefthrough the winter.
For young calves nothing can equal it. If
the farmer has no cOnveniences for grind
ing them, the peas and beans can be cooked
into mash in the ordinary way ; and, If
thus given literally to the stock, especially
the younger portion, will push them rapidly
forward. Pigs will grow faster on it than
anything else. Young heifers become ma
tured several months sooner. BY the use of
pea or bean meal, wheat straw can be used
in place of hay, and, taken as whole, it
has become almost necessity on well-regu-
lated farms. Bear in mind, asstated above,
peas and beans Willnot fatten stuck asTap-
f1Jx, oc oorp nor will tho corn mako the
stock grow as quickly as the legumes.
Hence, in winter we should feed these ar
ticles together, in order to get the best re-
sults.-PhiLadelp, ~ Record.

How TO MAKE Coon CoFFEE.-Jokes

".Bring me some.'' The man of the house
returned with small can of chickory.
'Is that all you have"
"We have little more"
"Bring me the rest"
Having thus secured all that was in the

so, the careful caterer bought the balance.

raise up evil against him out of his own
house, and that the sword should not depart
from his house as long as he lived.
To David the affair with Bath-Sheba was
the prolific source of grief and sorrow all the
days of his life. It was but short time
after this sad affair that Amnon, one of the
sons of David, played the beast. This was
followed by the murder of Amnon by Alb
SALON., and this by the rebellion of Absa-
lom. The sword never left the house of
David The last sound that greeted the
ears of the dying manarch was that Of strife,
contention and rebellion among his own
children. We know that God pardoned
the sins of David, but he made David to eX-
perience that it is an evil and bitter thing
to sin against God.
Bad men may refer to the sins of David
for the purpose of justifying their own vile
deeds, but nothing can be more inconsistent.
God in his marvellous grace pardoned Da-
vid's sins, but he never left him without
some reminder of the fact that he had been
guilty of heinous sins.
Whileit is true that God pardoned David's
sin, no one Is warranted in following Da-
vid's example any further than David obey
ed the voice of the Lord. Paul admonishes
us to follow him as he follows Christ. Jesus
Christ, not David, is our great exemplar.
Another important lesson which we may
learn from this sad affair Of David, is that
we should never conclude rashly that men
are hopelessly abandoned by God, because
they fall into great sins. No man iveth
and sinneth not is the doctrine of the Bible,
and it is demonstrated in the lives of all
men. The great difference between good
men and bad men, in this respect, is that
while both sin so long as they are in the flesh,
the former sin and, like David, repent, While
the latter 20 on and are punished.

At late hour last night Richland Creek,
which runs through Belleville, ILL.,, broke
