Home Amusements.

A cheerful home where loving hearts
and wise heads keep all thing under care
tul guidance, where the younger members
have plenty OF innocent amusements to oc-
cupy their restless minds, and where there
are no vain and tempting allurements to
entice them away from the home to the
city and its many pale lights. which shine
only to deceive, Is just what the world
needs. And here it may be well to add,
that it is the duty of parents to put forth
every effort to make home attractive,
pleasant and happy. For what is home il
there is no enjoyment there?
Children are fond OF amusement. it is
as natural r them to seek it, as it is for
them to breathe the free air that surrounds
them. You can't confine them to dry feed ;
they will not stand it. and if YOU don't
provide the required amusements for
them at home they will seek elsewhere for
them. This being the case, would it not
be wise tor you parents to provide these
necessary enioyments for your children.
and thus keep them near you, where they
will not be led away from the right way.
As TO the nature and character of these
amusements there is no doubt great di-
versity OF opinion in regard to what would
be legitimate in the way of sport for the
children. Some favor one thing, some
another. some dignified fogies have Pc
culiar horror at the idea of children being
allowed to play any kinds OF games; but
really we cannot see where there is any
harm in these if rightly and properly con
Quoted and children may be easily taught
to play any Of these games in right way.
Have plenty of good books and papers and
give them a chance to learn music, and il
possible procure some kind OF an instru-
ment and let them learn to play on that
and besides these there are many innocent
games they can be taught, such as are
both instructive and amusing. and it will
be of lasting benefit to them and you also.
No time or expense is lost that tends to
make home pleasant and attractive for the
children.
And when they grow to manhood and
womanhood, and 90 forth to battle with
the busy cares of life. they will carry with
them many sweet memory of the
Thoughtful kindness of mother and father,
and their future will be brighter through
the influence Of fond remembrances OF
the dear old home, where they spent so
many hours,
"Hours of childsh glee,
Hours that never more can be"
Mrs. Homespun, IN IoDa Homestead.

OLD AGE.
How Mans Lease of Life may be
Heightened.

Le0Stucuc0s
The possibility of prolonging life has
commanded the serious attention of emil
nent scientists, and the discovery Of
some compound or elixir capable Of pre-
venting or suspending physical decay, has
been, more than once, confidently pre-
dicted. The practical thing to consider
is, however, the prolongation of life by
proper care of the health, one of the
best means of maintaining which is the
occasions. use of Ayers Pills. S. c.
Brsdburn, Worthington, Mass, says:
Ayers Pills are
THE BEST
remedy for sick headache, arising from
all impure state of the stomach, and are
the mildest and best purgative in the
world. They were first recommended to
me, by my mother, thirty years ago."

and am now enjoying good health, through

THE COMING Man.

Among the many attainments which we
may reasonably expect the coming man to
possess, will be a perfect knowledge of

The WHEAT PROSPECT

A long ride into the country shows the
prospective wheat crop up in no favorable
light. We saw but one fine field, several but
a fair half-stand, and others being plowed
up. We believe this is the first, or at least
the worst failure in wheat since the settle
ment of the country. 1t is laid to the long
continued, freezing weather, and to the I'M
usual depth to which the frost reached. In
the process of thawing the soil heaved more
than ever was noticed before in this valley.
In fnct, ''heaving" or throwing OUT has
been practically unknown. Mr.. John Brin-
ley, whom we called upon, said he noticed
that during the hardest or most severe
freezes the soil opened into a well defined
crack, which ran along the burrows OF
drilled wheat, exposing the roots. We don't
think that this section OF the state can be set
down for more than half "A crop.

NEW ADVERTISING SCHEME.

We saw unique machine for advertising
yesterday at the Kansas employment
agency. which Arthur * O'Brien intends to
introduce in This city. The machine re-
sembles common wind mill. The frame
is sixteen feet wide by forty feet in height
and consists Of a square boarded box upon
one side of which is dial with hands like
clock. otherSrnamcnts adorn the other
sides. On the surface of this square frame
box are forty-one spaces painted in all the
known colors, these spaces being intended
for business cards On top Is a regular wind
wheel which will be continually in motion,
and will keep ringing bell on the inside
which Is intended to attract attention 10 the
machine. One of the machines is to be put
up on the west side of the bridge near the
approach. 1t is a novel contriyance and is a
good advertising scheme.

UP, UP, UP,

There was considerable excitement at the
Chicago board of trade rooms in this city
yesterday. For some time the bulls and
bears have been laying on the quiet and very
few transactions took place. Yesterday,
however, May wheat took jump Of ) cents
per bushel which caused futter of excite
ment in Mr.. kellogg's little board of trade
room. \ few who had been carrying May
wheat made Il nice thing of it. p. V. Healy
cleared over $500 on the days rise and
Mr.. W. II. Dean drew out SlS2.50 clear Of
commissions. If farmers who had been
holding their grain for higher figures under
stood the modus operandi of this board of
trade they could make some ready money
and at the same time for small amount,
hold all the wheat they wished for higher
market. In that way they would be able to
convert their grain into money and pay OFF
their debts and for small sum hold a
couple of thousand bushels in Chicago sub
ject to the rise. Pat Healv has not laid
his fingers on a grain of wheat this year.
nevertheless he has made more money on
wheat, perhaps than any farmer in the
comfy
