To rhine own seIfBe True.

By thine own souls law learn live, And if men thwart thee take no heed, And if men hate thee have no care; Sing thou thy song and do thy deed; Hope thou thy hope and pray thy prayer, And claim no crown they will not give Nor bays they grudge thee for thy hair. Keep thou thy soul-sworn steadfast oath, And to thy heart be true thy heart; What thy soul teaches learn to know, And play out thine appointed part; And thou shall reap as thou shalt SOW, Nor helped nor hindered in thy growth, To thy full stature thou shalt grow. Fix on the future's goal thy face, Ard let thy feet be lured to stray Nowhither, but be swift to run, And nowhere tarry by the way Until at last the end is won, And thou mays't look back from thy place And see thy long day journey done.

Some of the western wheat farmers are wishing that they had something beside wheat to sell this year, as they do not get much for that. A correspondent of the St. Paul Pres3 says that a farmer settling with a storekeeper in Dako- ta. town the other day for a load of wheat took in part payment several pounds of poor butter and three or four dozen of packed eggs. The reporter asked if this was common practice of the farmers in that region, and was answered in contempt uous tone, "Oh, there are not twenty real farmers in the country. They are only wheat raisers. Many of them who own quar- ter sections of land seldom have milk in the house, buy their butter and eggs at the near est stores do not keep COW or pig or raise vegetables enough for their families
 Washington will be made lively in Janu- ary by delegation of stock raisers, who, be- ing interested in Texas cattle, desire that the national government shall withdraw from settlement strip of land of from six to ten miles in width, to constitute trail from Texas north to the Canada line, which shall be fenced and put in order for the annual migration of Texas cattle to the grazing grounds in the North, and also to the points of distribution for the markets. They base their claim on the ground that, as cattle in Kansas and other States traversed are liable to take dis ease from the trail over which the Texas cattle have passed, it will be public safe guard to restrain them within certain limits. The promoters of this scheme seem to show no soicitude as to the cost of the undertak- ing, which the opponents claim will amount to tens of millions of dollars.
 Friends and advocates of the temper auce cause unite in proposition for holding a temperance centennial in 1885. Among these are Dr. Daniel Dorchester, Mark Hop kins, Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, Neal Dow, ex-Gov. Long, President Haygood of Emory college, Frances E. Willard and Congress man Dingley. The proposition seems to have been original with Dr. Dorchester, who dates the temperance agitation in the United Staten from the publication in 1785 of pamphlet by Dr, Benjamin Rush, of Philadelphia, on E'The Effect of Ardent Spirits on the Mind and Body" One of the results of this paper was the formation in 1913 of the Massachusetts society for the suppression of intemperancs, among whose were John Edwards and Dr. Leon ard Woods. These and a number of other colleagues were instrumental in founding in 1926 at Boston the American society for the promotion of temperance, and they are in clined to regard this latter date as the one marking the beginning of the reformation.

 Tho organization of the pneumatic postal service throughout Paris, which has lately been completed, has.cost more than million francs, and the length of the pipes is over thirty-four miles, This elaborate work was begun by M. de Couchy, who was director of French telegraphs under the empire seven teen years ago. The charge for transmitting $ letter to any place within the fortifcation has been placed at six sous. The service covers extreme points about seven miles apart. Under the most unfavorable circum- stances a letter will be delivered to the re- motest place, including it's conveyance from the nearest station, within one hour. The saving of time and labor by the pneumatic postal service is expected to result in it's adoption in other European capitals.

A Very Narrow Escape.

All the ghost, murder, and explosion
stories had been told, then grizzly old
captain took fresh chew Of tobacco
and observed:
"The narrowest escape I ever see was
that of man who came here in the
hold of vessel loaded with pig iron.
he crept into the boat when she was
empty and went to sleep, and when
they came to load her they covered him
up with iron. suppose there WASN'T
less than 500 tons of the stuff on top OF
him, and he was in that position fol-
seven or eight days with nothing to eat
or drink. When they got down to him
they took him out, and more surprised

"How did he work it? was asked.
"Work what?"
why, how did he escape being
crushed?"
@He was crushed. He was as flat
and thin as that there sail"
II don't see where the narrow 'scape

"Wel, I do" continued the narrator,
"and SO would you if you had seen them
just take him ont through seam in the

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-1O karats
fine is soldered on each side of a plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while
the vritten guarantee of the manufacturers
warranting each case to wear t,centy years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through
the gold. DUBUQUE, L., Dec. "A, 1880.

the muscles and the nervous system and
brain expend their energies. Muscles
are partially recruited during the day

else the brain is i'll nourished, wastes,

Winter Care of Sheen.

':The winter care of the fock," says
the Pittsburg Stockman, 'tis where
many new sheep-men make mistakes.
It is no trouble to keep sheep through
the summer. but often inexperienced
fock-masters lose half their sheep in q
single winter. The reason of this is
either carelessness, or ignorance of the
nature and requirements of the
sheep. The most successful winter
care of sheep cannot be undertaken
without suitable stabling. This is the
first great requisite. There is no use
trying to keep sheep thriving, and at
the same time have it's wool saturated
with water, with the temperature down
toward zero. Then, after seeing that
you have sufficient shelter for your
sheep, the next most important thing is
to see that they have an abundant sup
ply of hay or other forage. The hay
or fodder must be early cut and put up
in the very best condition. With these
preliminary preparations flock of
sheep can be wintered safely, cheaply,
and proftably. With good hay and
proper shelter sheep require but very
little grain. These facts alone should
determine every shepherd to provide
proper stabling for them as an econom-
ic measure. Isl
