The Secret of It.

An old farmer being asked why his
boys stayed at home while others did
not, replied that it was owing to the
fact that he always tried to make home
pleasant for them. He furnished them
with attractive and useful reading, and
when night came and the days labor
was ended, instead Of running with
other boys to the railroad station and
adjoining towns, they gathered around
the great lamp and became absorbed in
their books and papers. His boys were
still at home when the oldest was TWEEN.
ty.one, while those who were furnished
with no reading at home, sought city
life and city designations as soon as they
were seventeen or eighteen.
All will do well to heed this testimo.
ny of farmer, who has known how
hard the struggle for footing on free
soil without capital is, and how valua'
bic and comparatively cheap are the
aids which good reading brings to him.
In this age of general intelligence the
mind must be catered to, and books
and papers furnished; and not only
this, but, in this age of cheap and ar.
tistic chromos, pictures can also be
bought to use in making home attrac.
tive. The farmers life is the most in.
dependent of any, and there is no rea.
son why it may not be attractively sur,
rounded.

Does a Hen Set or Sit on Nest.

Detroit Commercial Advertiser.
Many of the agricultural journals
are sorely troubled to know whether a
hen sits or SETS. IF some editor of dig.
nifty would set hen on the nest, and
the editors would let her sit it would
be good for the world. Now man,
or woman either, can set hen, al.
though they cannot sit her, neither can
they sit on her, althou Oh the hen might
sit on them by the hour if they would
allow it. A man cannot set on the
wash bench but he can set the basin
on it, and neither the basin nor the
grammarian would object. He could
SIT Oh the dogs tail if the dog were
willing, or he might set his foot on it.
But if he should set on the aforesaid
tail, or sit his foot there, the grammar
rians as well as the dog would howl.
And yet, strange as it may seem, the
man might set the tail aside and then
sit down, and not be assaulted by either
the dog or the gramparians.

The Pest Of Flies.

An Iowa lady writes to an exchange:
"For three years ! have lived in town,
and during that time my sitting room
has been free from flies, while all my
neighbors' rooms have been crowded.
| often congratulated myself on my es>
cape, but never knew the reason of it
until a few days ago. then had oc>
casion to remove my goods to another
house, while | remained on for few
days longer. Among the other things
removed were the boxes of geraniums
and colarias, which stood in my win
dow, being open to its fullest extent,
top and bottom. The boxes we're not
gone halt an hour when the room was
as full of flies as those of my neighbors
around me. This, to me, was a new
discovery, and perhaps it may serve to
encourage others in that which is al
ways source of pleasure, namely,
window gardening. Mignonette, il
planted in long shallow boxes and
placed in the window will be found ex-
cellent for this purpose.

Grading of Teachers.
S. w. Journal of Education.

S. w. Journal of Education
The State Superintendent has re,
duced the grades of teachers, upon
examination, from three to two. The
standards respectively which they are
required to attain are fixed at eight
and seven and one-half upon a
scale, the maximum of which is ten.
This reduction has been made upon the
earnest recommendation of many of
the county superintendents of the
State, and upon their representation
that third grade teachers generally are
positive injury to the schools. 1t is
now in order for the county superin-
tendents to take care that none but
capable and worthy persons are admit,
ted to teach in either grade.

Confidence in Self.

Rely on yourself; take it for grants
ed that you can accomplish your planse
Never say 81 can't"-they are ignoble
words. He who does not feel within
himself the power to conquer fate, is
not man in the true sense of the word.
Ofcourse it is a misfortune for him,
since he can never be any benefit to
himself or anybody else. Heaven
help the woman who marries him.
Somebody says, "Oh, | don't like
these self>conceited folks!" My friend
self>conceit and self>confdence are two
qualities as different as light and dark>
ness; and though the self.conceited
man may not be the most agreeable of
companions, we infinitely prefer him
to the creeping, cringing, craven-spirit-
ed fellow who is never ready for an
emergency, and who, like Uriah Heep,
spends his life in trying to be humble
The man who says, Il will do it!
who says it from his heart and means
it, too-who bends his whole energy to
work, will almost accomplish it; and
then people call him lucky and success
full, and that sort of thing, when, in
fact, his luck has been brought by his
persevering efforts, and by his conf
dence in himself. Fortune detests
cowardice; and the man who will not
be conquered by trides is his prime
favorite.

Curing a Bad Memory.

Your memory is bad, perhaps, but |
can tell you two secrets that will cure
the worst memory. One is to read a
subject when you are strongly inter.
ested. The other is not only to read,
but think. When you have read a
paragraph or a page, stop-close the
book-and try to remember the ideas
on that page, and not only recall them
vaguely to your mind, but put them
into words and speak them not. Faith~
fully follow these two rules and you
will have the golden keys of knowl-
edge. Besides inattentive reading,
there are other things, injurious to
memory. One is the habit of skins
ming over newspapers, all in confused
tumble, never to be thought of again,
thus cultivating a habit of careless
reading hard to break. Another is
the reading Of trashy novels. Nothing
is so fatal to reading with profit as the
habit of running through story after
story, and forgetting them as soon as
read. l know gray,haired woman

declared that her mind had been ruined
