LEAP YEARS.
What Leap Years Are and When They
Occur.

American.
One evening, a short time ago, are
porter of the American found himself
with a party of friends, the converse
ton turned on the fact that this was
leap year, A middle-aged gentle
man in the party remarked:
"Thank goodness, it is nearly
over"
"Why?" inquired the man of the
pencil.
"Well, to make a long story short,
some years ago, in a leapyear, a beau
tiful, well-educated and altogether
lovely young lady, asked me to mar

long entertained a secret affection for

THE TOBACCO REMEDY.

Sometime ago we copied General
Clingman's letter in Health and Home
in reference to Tobacco as a Remedy"
His letter to that journal brought forth
many letters of inquiry as to how to
use tobacco as a remedy. In answer
to these letters of inquiry, Gen. Cling,
man has written long communication
which we copy from Health and Home
for what it is worth.

THE OLD AND THE NEW YEAR.

Another year has gone, Whether
profitable or Improbable, we are re-
minded that time waits for no one !;
that we are another year nearer our
journeys end If we have improved
its golden opportunities, well done, if
not, it is our misfortune. If we have
committed errors, as most of us doubt
less have, in business or otherwise, we
should try to avoid similar ones in the
future. Whether as individuals we
have been prosperous or not, the coun>
ty has been blessed with abundant
crops, with peace and plenty, with
health and prosperity; and we have
great reason to be thankful ia an al.
wise Creator for these blessings. The
great wonder is, that God would con-
descend to bless as wicked people as
we are while we continue to violate
His commandments. He may bear
with our wickedness a long time as He
did with the Isrealites, but as a nation
and as individuals, He will punish us
for our wickedness sooner or later. We
should gather wisdom from the past,
and so shape our business, our conduct,
and our lives as to be profitable to our
selves and the age in which we live.
The new year has come; let us enter
upon its duties with fixed purpose
and determination to improve the
means God has given us. Whatever
our business or occupation may be, if
laudable, let us determine to succeed.
Live within our income, and if posi-
BILE save a part of our earnings. No
matter how small, we should save a
little of %hat we make. Keep a re.
serve and add to it every year SO that
we may have something to support
old age.
If you are a farmer, make it an OBJ.
ject to improve your farm, not by UNI
necessary expenditures for fertilizers
and Improbable improvements but by
carefully making, saving and applying
every pound of manure. Apply it SC
as to make few acres rich every year,
and keep it SO. BY so doing, you will
not only improve your farm, which i;
your capital, but you will set an ex,
ample to be followed by others, Sup
ply yourself with good books, news and
agricultural papers, and spend your
long nights and leisure time in storing
your minds with useful knowledge
Whatever your business may be, study
it thoroughly and determine to make
it a success. Do this and you will moi
only be happy and prosperous, but
will make others so. Whatever you
do, do it with all your might.

This remedy is known far and wide as the
