Once before James G. Blaine stood UP before
the world to vindicate his name and fame, aud
won the admiration of his fellow-men. Again
he grasps the tongue of SANDER which has leaped
forth to sting not him alone but those whom he
loves best as well: again will it be torn from its
loathesome roots and thrown at the feet of his
traducers. Mr.. Blaine has defense that is not
an excuse. A line will be drawn between
criminal libel and honorable political warfare so
plainly that the 5asest of calumniators can mark
its import.

Be a Man.

The highest attainment for you,
my boy, is to be a mani This
world is full of counterfeits. Bnt
it is a grand thing to stand upright
in defense of truth and principle.
When prosecutions come, some hide
their faces until the storm passes
by; others can be bought for a
mess of pottage. From such an
one, turn away. But stand by a
friend; be a man; do not run away
when danger threatens to overwhelm
him or yourself. Read good books
and read mems faces. Think for
yourself The eye is the window to
the soul; use your eyes and hold
your tongue. If opposition comes
meet it manfully. If success crowns
your efforts bear it quietly Do
your own thinking and keep your
own secrets; worship no man for
his wealth nor his lineage Fine
feathers don't always cover fine
birds Be sober, be honest, be just

BOYS and Tools.

Encourafie the boys in the use of
carpenters tools. / never was more
impressed with the necessity of
this than when, q short time ago,
a young farner purchased a neglect
ed piece Of property where the
house was sadly out Of repair He
was obliged to take his family into
it just as it was, and two or three
weeks passed before he e. uld get
any one to make a few repairs, dur
ing which time they all became iii
from exposure. This could have
been prevented, had the purchaser
been skilled in the use OF two or
three of the commonest carpenter s
tools
OF course bows will dull and some
times break them, but if care ully
taught their use, and if acts of care
lessness are followed by a Sc ason of
deprivation, they soon learn that it
pays to be thoughtful. Encourage
item in making their own kites, in
putting new boxes their express
wagons and in building their coops
for their own biddies and broods.
These will be crude and rough, but
praise the work, and the next time
they attempt, offer few sugges-
tons, that every effort may exceed
all previous ones.
One who has some knowledge OF
carpenters tools is more fitted to
direct workmen, and give plans
when he wishes building put up
or repairs made. Then how often
mere novice whose hands are ac-
customed to use saw and chisel can,
with a few directions, put up shop
or hennery, at a time when farm
work is slack Then the conven-
fence of being able to fashion door
or ladder, to mend broken gate, or
replace few shingles blown from
the roof, and do it all in work
manlike manner that brings no
shame at the result
Then there are thousand and
one little things about the house
which would save much WEAKNESS
and many steps-little things for
which one hardly likes call the car
penter, and that the father or one of
the boys might do if he could saw
off hoard straight or drive nail
without pounding his thumb and
losing his temper. Then there is
real pleasure in accepting a token
of love fashioned by the hand
that gives it. l have in mind now
pretty centre table and book case,
made by young farmer during the
stormy days Of a cold winter. 1t
was not the money value alone that
gave them ~orth, for my husband
made these" was often said by the
recipient of these f vors.
Provide a warm workshop, as
nice as can he afforded, but at
least with a stove, a chimney and a
whole root, and give boys permits
sion to saw and plane a. they like.
II Is not necessary TO allow them
free use of the choicest tools, Meth
er is it wise to restrict them entire
ly to old and broken ones. People
do not condemn their children 10
the use of trenchers, because they
occasionally break a plane, nor
would it be kind to forbid their
touching the tools, because they
sometimes break an awl or lose the
pincers. -Cor. Country Gentleman.

Washing Day.

Little Sunbeam worked hard al
most as hard as her mother. She
rnn around from the time she was
out of bed in the morning till she
WAS tucked away at night. No one
could see what she found to do, or
that her work amounted to much;
hut to her It was much as real
housework is to old folks. And
then she had such a large family!
she called it enormous"
There was the old china doll,
Molly with the cracked head, the
first she could remember, The wax
doll with real hair and blue Kid
slippers; the rag an ever 50 many
little ones so much alike that no one
but Sunbeam could tell which was

This is her washing day. See her
clothes strung on the line. / am
afraid they will dry in streaks If
she does not shake them out. Her
basket was not half emptied when
she heard her mother call, "Sun-

"Put on your hat and run to the

"But it is washing day, and Tn
so tired" pleaded the little girl.
Her mother could not see what q
child's washing day had to do with
going to market, and SO she was
sent on the errand.
This put Sunbeam in a bad pet
and she scolded her dolls, threw
faithful cid Molly on the floor and
left her there. Peg, the house dog
ook it up and chewed up the dolls

sunbeam at all, but q regular
storm. But the funniest thing o.
all was, nobody but grandpa couh

their trials as we'll as older persons
and he told the mother so till she
saw it all too. Then she kissed lit

Shetland Ponies Ia America.

A farmer who lives in Waukeshs
county, Wis, hes a herd of fifty
Shetland ponies, among them being
two of the smallest ponies in the
world. The herd was brought from
Europe All the little creatures
were bred either on the island of
Netland or that of Shetland.
Those islands have only a thin
covering of vegetation, and it is hu-
morously said sometimes that the
ponies there fad nutriment by
smiling the wind from more boun-
tiful isnds.
On the islands the little animals
are herded just as cattle are in.

Corn Tnddar

Cut at the right time and proper
ly cured there is no part of the
corn plant but what is nutritious
The stalks are full of pith that is
rich in sugar; the shucks and fod
der, while not quite equal to the
best hay, are better than any other
of the rough feeds. Various esti-
mates are made as 30 the value of
corn fodder and its merits as com
pared to hay. Much depends on
the variety of the corn, the season
and the time of cutting both the
fodder and grass. For instance.
some stacks cured in the usual way
contain about 80. per cent only
of digestable matter, cut in early
tassel, 60 per cent. Timothy hay
cut in early blossom has been plac-
ed at 90 per cent. while timothy cut
when too ripe has given by analysis
as low as 49 per cent. of digestible
matter. Honest farmers there are
who value a ton of corn fodder
properly cured equal to a ton of
best hay. Others place the value
at about wo-thirds of that of hay.
