Poetry.
h-Priced Humanity.

She was ready for bed and lay on my arm.
In her little fried cap so fine,
With her golden hair falling oui at the edge,
Like circle of noon sunshine.
And 1 hummed the old tune OF "Banbury
Cross
And Three men who put out to sea-
When she sleepily said. >hs closed her blue
eyes.
Papa. fol would you take for me-"
And answered. "A dollar, dear little heart :
And She slept baby weary with play,
But held her warm in my love-strong
arms,
And rocked her and rocked away
Oh. the dollar meant all the world 10 me.
The land and the sea and Sky.
The lowest depth OF the lowest place,
The highest of all that's high.
The cities with streets and palaces.
Their pictures and stores of art,
| would not take for one low soft throb
OF my little one, loving heart:
Nor all the gold that was ever found
In the busy wealth-fnding past.
Would take for one smile Of my darline's
face.
Did know it must be the last
30 rocked my baby and rocked away,
And felt such sweet content.
Tor the words Of the son. expressed 10 me
more
Ana the night crcpt on. and slept and
dreamed
OF things far too glad to be.
And Weakened with lips SAYING close To my
ear
Papa, fot would YOU take for me-"

How to Ohurn.

The Nele England Farmer summarizes
the features of churning most admirably as
follows
Sweet cream just removed from the milk
does not ehurn as readily as older cream
that has been 'ripened.' Cream when too
warm is liable to give trouble. and if tou
cold il is sure. Thin cream is longer in
coming than thick cream. Filling the churr
too full is a very common cause of trouble.
Too rapid motion of the dasher is liable 10
whip the cream into froth. The trouble is
more with the operator Of the churn than
with the cream. If churned very slowly
there is liable TO be 50 little friction the
butter will never come By long churnng
the temperature may change so as to pre-
vent success If a barrel or box churn is
filled very full the cream may swell until the
revolutions 20 on without agtating the cream
and if the churn has crank il NAV thus Ie-
volve the cream into solid body without
friction These are not all the troubles that
NAV get INTO the churn, but they are quite
enough for one lesson. The cardinal points
are. fill YOUR churn but half full and see
that the temperature /. right.

The .ast census revealed SAYS the
Michigan Farmer. "some curious things.
and one of them Is that about one-third Of
all the horses in this country are used for
pleasure driving and riding. while two
thirds are employed for industrial purposes.
As there are over 1000, 900 horses in this
country, there are therefore nearly 4 900, 900
employed almost solely to contribute to the
endowment of the people. These are worth
on an average not less than $3.50 each, and
perhaps more, giving our driving horses an
aggregate value q about 100000
These are astounding figures, but the census
is responsible for them

Close the Door Softly.

Doors are what We have to do with all
our lives, and ye; nineteen people out Of
every twenty make a noise closing every
door they 20 through Physicians have not
yet learned that they disturb the patient
they are striving to quiet by closing the
door noisily when they enter or leave the
house or room. 1t is perfectly easy to close
a door quietly, yet few people make il a
practice to do so until some one in the house
is sick, and then otter il is forgotten. The
patient that for days aud nights has had no
rest is finally relieved from pain and is quiet
IL sleeping. If there is nothing to disturb
him some hours of refreshing sleep NAV be
expected, giving the rest ami strength so
much needed. But some one, forgetful OF
the needed carefulness, closes door with a
slam, and the patient starts with every nerve
quivering, not only losing the much-needed
sleep, but having to suffer from sudden
,skeuing, so hard for a. weak person te
\ CIR. r. people you'd practice and teaet

habit to do so, no one need suffer from this

Is This Possible ?

Report comes that General Grants i'm
proved condition Is due TO the fact that
lac is using "simple vegetable prepare
tion" forwarded by one Of the Consuls
from South America, and sent him by
the surgeon General 1t this possible (!
by an unauthorized" remedy? Shock
Ing!
And yet. II this "simple vegetable
preparation" were owned and advertised
by any one as specific for this terrible
disease, certainly the Surgeon General
would not commend 1t, nor would bigot-
ed physicians prescribe II!
Nevertheless, it Is "A fact that many Of
the best proprietary medicines of the
day, AS the late DR.. j. G.. Holland stated
in Scrlbner's Monthly, were more sue
cessful than many physicians, and most
of them, II should be remembered, were
at first discovered or used In actual med
ical practice. When, however, any
shrewd persons, knowing of their virtue
and foreseeing their popularity, secured
and advertised them, then, in the opinion
Of the bigoted, all virtue went out Of
them
Isn't this absurd
We believe that n remedy. II properly
made, Is Just as effective when put up,
advertised and sold in bulk, ms when
doled out to patients at enormous eX-
pense by their physicians.
Why not?
If General Grant is getting better
through simple, unauthorized vegeta-
BILE preparation, where is the Wanted
exclusive skill of the medical profess
slonY
Apropos Of the suspension of some
very prominent members by the Med
ical and Chrugioal faculty of Maryland
for endorsing advertised remedies, the
Baltimore American april 30 says:
"When patent medicine goes on year
after year widening its circle OF believ-
ers II is n pretty fair evidence that there
is merit in it. The regular doctors may
ignore ii. and eXpel any of its members
who use it. but when they do so their
action looks more like envy against
successful remedy than true desire to
protect the public" The failure in the
Garfield and Grant cases, the.Amerioan
| thinks. and properly, has knocked pro-
fessional pretensions higher than kite.
But this is not n singular instance Of
unprofessional power over 'incurable
diseases" That "smple vegetable
preparation now everywhere known as
Warmers safe cure, was once an author
lied remedy; was pronounced god
send" to the medical profession for the
cure of kidney and liver disorders, ma
laria, general debility, spring feebleness,
female irregularities, ETC., by many
leading physicians, but when the formu-
In was fully perfected, and the medicine
was put up in bulk and advertised so
that every sufferer might know Of 1t and
treat himself, then the profession turned
upon 1t and let their patients die rather
than TO use it.
This Is certainly n strange proceeding,
but it Is on n level with all the rules and
regulations of code which has gone 30
far as TO forbid Il physician displaying
beyond certain size his name and pro-
fcssion upon his sign.
But the world moves, and merit wins
the fight.
