A STRONG RECOMMENDATION.

l have for eight years used Bradley 's phosphate, increasing the quantity each year. It has never resulted ill failure. I have used it upon fodder corn, with out other manure, and my crops have for two years past been excellent, not withstanding the extremely dry seasons we have experienced. I have used it for carrots two years in succession, with out other manure, on a plat of land that had not been manured for five years, and my crop has done so well that shall not fear to devote the same land to carrots again next year, with Bradley's phosphate alone. have also used 1t on turnips with very satisfactory results.

The resignation of Mr.. HI. G.. Davis,
the popular assistant general passen-
ger agent of the Manitoba road took
effect yesterday. Mr.. c. H, Warren
private secretary to Mr.. Marvel sue
ceeds him. Mr.. VIM. Second private
secretary to President Hill, will take
Mr.. Warren's place, and Mr.. w. A
Stephens will become Mr.. Hill's pri-
vate secretary. Mr.. Davis resigna-
ton takes effect January I, after which
he will devote some weeks to attend
ing to private matters. His action
was voluntary and had been under
contemplation some time. His many
friends regret to lose sight of him in
official duties even if only for snort
time and hope to meet him in an en-
larged sphere, where his experience
and abilities will have still wider rec
ognition. MIR. Warren, the new as
sistant general passenger agent, has
been eight years in the railroad bust
ness, the first five with the Rock Is
land, and Chicago & Northwestern be-
ing located at Chicago. The last three
years have been spent with the Man
itoba line. His promotion was the
subject of congratulations coupled
with the best wishes Of his associates,
who credit him with ability and
brightness.

was passing through his gin when his coat
was caught by the saws, which were running
at full speed. He called for assistance but
no one was near, and he was slowly drawn
toward the teeth of the saws. With remarkable
presence of mind he caught his coat and pulled
backward with the strength of desperation,
thus delaying his apparent dopn.p He then
attempted to cut off his coat tail, but dropped
his knife, and could not regain it. just when
exhausted and ready to yield himself to a
horrible fate, assistance arrived and hes was
rescued. He had remained in his pel.ilous

seemed an eternity. 1t is said the shock has

His sister, pretty little married woman,
appeared in these glittering glories. Sober

jeweler, and seized the occasion to make her
go to the opera with him, to exhibit her
splendor.
He knew very well that Fannie would be

maiden's eyes were fixed many times and
earnestly upon the opals Sobersides thought
that she knew them, but she did not. The
fact was that one of her especial hopes and
joys was the opal. Many people are crazy
after particular gems. So Fannie Lowell had
an affection for the opal-that delicious,
creamy gem, in whose inner depths lies a
single spark of faint and tender fre-a gem
that is most excellently described as "a pearl
with a soul in it."
A week afterward met Miss Fannie and
somehow or another the talk turned upon
precious things.

"No-I was not there"

The Farmers Most Active Enemy.

American Agriculturist: This de-
stroyer ofthe farmers hard earned saw
ings is on every farm, in every house
and never leaves us day or night, win
ter or summer. 1t damages at mid
night and destroys at MONDAY. The
marks of its teeth may be seen on the
pasture fence, it is wasting the barn
stills, and pegging away at your sulky
pillow. Even iron and steel are not eX-
empt from its ravages. The pillow
comes in from the field bright with
use; next week it needs several hours
of work and worry to make it scour.
You lend your new bright hand-saw
to neighbor, who kindly leaves lily
ing on the grass u night or two, and
its condition when returned mars its
usefulness, and lessons your faith in
human nature. a careless farmer
leaves his new mower in the field, or
fence corner until next summer, by
which time this fell destroyer has
damaged it one-third of it's value. The
sections are black with rust, the Jour-
nails are all gummed, and the wood
work is penetrated and weakened in
every part.
Those who have read thus far, will
have recognized this enemy as rust,
rot, or decay, the most active promoter
of which is oxygen. This invisible
gas forms one-tifth of the entire bulk
of the air, and eight-ninths of the
weight ofal the water on the globe.
While of the greatest value in the e.
cnnemy of life, it is also destructive
agent of the most untiring kind. Yet
its ravages ere easily checked in ma
ny instances. a thin covering of some
oil will protect iron and steel from
its action. A coat of paint good e.
neugh to keepwater from soaking into
wood, will protect it from decay al
most indefinitely. In the far West
whereFbudding is somewhat more ex-
penssve than in the East farmers are
disposed to leave their farm tools out
of doors the year round. Such men
3 g great mistake. If they
70 afford shelter for their
toofsA buy gallon of paint,
which, II carersllyapplied to the wood
work. will go long way toward pro-
tecting it from decay. 1t is certain
that ifthe farmers of any State would
expend one thousand dollars for paint
next year for this purpose, they would
save ten thousand now likely to be ut
terly lost. Ifahyoue thinks this over
stated, let him look around among his
neighbors, and see the hundreds aud
hundreds Of dollars worth of machin-
cry that isgoihg to ruin from decay,
which little paint would prevent.
Here at least in the protection of farm
implements penny saved is as good
as a pennyearned.. g..

Dutch Workin<women.


[Zyko'' in st. Louis Republican,
The avenue for the drive from the Hague
is one of the most beautiful in the world. 1t
is lined on either side by tall, stately trees
that arch evenly and gracefully above, and
the primeval stretch of forest on either side
is broken only by the white paths cut through
it. Along this avenue groups of the pic
turesque peasants are to be seen in the morn
ing going to or returning from the hague.
They 60 in clusters, and men and women are
rarely seen together. The women seem to do
most of the work. You will see Dutch
woman drawing cart full Of vegetables
while her husband walks behind with his
hands under his blue blouse and pipe in his
mouth. You will see women drawing canal
boats like mules along the watery high
ways. Yet they are a patient, finely devel-
oped, strong, and to all outward appear
ances, contented race. The women, VIXEN
fixed up, have band Of metal which clasps
the head on either side, and extends under
the back hair. Then long pins with big
round beads in silver or gilt flagree, are
thrust under these bands at either side
of the head, and founced cap covers
the whole. The wooden shoes are chiefly
worn, but Of late faint decoration appears
upon them in the shape of an imitation
row of buttons. The stockings ara
usually of thick blue yarn, and the dresses
do not come within two inches Of
the ankle. The head is used as much as by
the negroes Of the south. The women march
from the sea-shore to the Hague with baskets
of fish on their heads stepping energetically
along with knitting in their hands or smaller
baskets. The men Of the peasant class are
taciturn, stolid, strong and evidently con-
tented. The Dutchman's pride in his coun-
try is intense and his satisfaction is COM
plete. There can be no substitute in his mind
for the little country wrested from the en-
brace Of the sea, with its arteries of canals
and long-armed wind-mills that are con-
stautly in motion.

eff had known in the morning,
How YEARLY all the day
The words unkind
Would trouble my mind
said when you went away,
had been more careful, darling.
Nor given you needless pair:
But we vex our own
With look and tone
We might never take back again.
"For though in the quiet evening
You may give me kiss Of peace
Yet it might be
That never for me
The pain of the heart should cease,
How many go forth at morning
That never come home at nj sht;
And hearts have been broken
For harsh words spoken
That sorrow can ne'er set right.
1--WE have careful thoughts for the stranger
And smiles for the sometime guest,
But oft for our own
The bitter tone
Though we love our own the best,
All! lips with curve impatient,
All! brow that look of scorn,
Twere q cruel fate
Were the night too late
To undo the work of morn"
Unless you can muse in crowd all day,
On the absent face that fixed you;
Unless you can love as the angels may,
With the breath Of heaven betwixt you;
Unless you can dream that his faith is fast,
Through behooving and unbehooving;
Unless you can die when the dream is past
Oh, never call it loving!
