Friendship.

1t is said that. as a rule, men make
truer friends than women and certainly
all the records of celebrated friendship
that have been banded down to us have
been between man and man. In Bible
history. for example, we read of the
friendship between Elijah and Elisha
still more striking. that of Jonathan and
David, OF Philip and Nathaniel, the for
mer bringing his friend to Christ to share
with him that blessed fellowship; then
again, the friendship of Paul and Barna-
has. who, like many other friends, had
hot alteration. their abrupt parting, their
secret regret and their final reconciliation.
In profane history we read of Theseus
and Peirthous, of Damon and Pythias
(stories too we'll known to require COM
ment), of Cicero and Scipio, and in more
recent times of Beaumont and Fletcher,
who shared purse, wardrobe and talents
in common. Friendships such as these
exalt our opinion of mankind we desire
such friends. but rarely find them. and
this perhaps, is the cause of the continual
hunger after the one great Friend. who is
the most perfect type of friendship.
Our friendships influence us more than
any other element which enters into our
lives. The pictures on our walls, the
flowers in our gardens. educate US insen-
sibly the books we read do us good or
ill; the teachers who instruct us. give
bent and direction to our intellect; but the
friends we love touch us everywhere
Gradually we grow like those we love !;
their habits of thought affect ours we
catch their mannerisms and tricks of
speech; we are quite powerless to with
stand the gentle persuasions of the love
element which enters into friendships and
beauties our lives. There is silver
thread in every life-web woven into the
tissue by the friendship of earth. A life
devoted to the highest and best aims,
helps unconsciously to lift others from low
and selfish things. Each thought and
feeling we indulge gets into the stream of
our personal influence. and purifies or dis
colors it helps to give it the light of
Heaven, or the muddy and soiled hue of
selfishness, Just as little rain-drops soak
into the ground. and ultimately help to
swell the mighty river. An impure hand
leaves a stain on all it touches, and many
character has been marred and spoiled
bv unworthy and defiling friendships; but
the friendship of the true and good puri-
fies. enobles, adorns, beauties and exalts.

more skill and business capacity to carry
on a small garden successfully than a
large farm. To any one desiring to begin
life on few acres let me say that one will
surely tail unless able to give the mind to
details and to make the most out of a lit
tie; to work without waste and loss. 1t
is better to begin out of debt and then
things will run smoother. Manure is
prime necessity, and it must be cheap and
not too far off; the animal manures are
best for the garden. Glass is necessity;
have 900 square feet and want more;
with this amount one-third more space
than the glass will cover can be safely
planted; all who have managed hot beds
and cold frames know this to be practical
BILE. A good market near at hand enables
the producer to market his crops cheaply
and at the right time. fresh and in good
condition. On a small place sell your
goods direct to the consumer, and what
you lose in time you will more than save
in commissions to middlemen. Wholesale
only the surplus. Begin at the bottom
and work up. that is the best way.

Sleep Of Children.

This is scarcely a secondary matter to
food and dress. We know how few days
any one can retain their reason or life ii
sleep be utterly prevented. There are
fearful old tales of deaths from this tor
ture alone.
Firstly, children, at least q nervous
child, should sleep alone. Its stronger
bediellow draw upon its strength in some
not vet explained manner, and one will be
too hot and the other too cold with the
same blankets.
An aged or a weary person also ex-
hausts the vitality of child. In most
elegant homes we see the double beds
being replaced by two single ones, side
by side. The change has wrought in
credible marvels in the health and temper
OF children.
Again, all children and most adults
should have beds which yield to the body.
Children are much more likely to suffer in
this regard, their prettiest cradles and
cribs often having slat or stiff wicker bot
toms which would make even our strong
err muscles ache Twice as long sleep
would they take and wake smiling, did we
give them the most elastic woven spiral
wire with not too heavy bed atop. The
old fashioned cord bottom bedsteads were
poorly replaced by any Stats or cheap
springs; or the light stir-up-able straw
beds by their modern substitutes of moss,
cotton, excelsior or indeed tied mattresses
of any sort except curled hair. The Eng
lsh have followed none Of these cheap
fashions of misery, and, indeed. every
thrifty English, Irish, German or Scandi-
navian girl emigrant used to bring her
feather bed, knowing that bed must
yield to support all parts of the body to
rest it.
A hair mattress in two parts weighing
little more than thirty pounds, over
feather bed on woven wire mattress is
the ideal bed. The single wire mattress
costs but three dollars, and with merely
comforter is better than the average
children's bed.
A nice cradle or crib bottom can be
made of piece of the wsven wire tackled
on. or of elastic webbing tackled across at
distances of four inches. If beds are not
yielding. children will lie on their backs.
