Health and Work.

There are many persons in the world
whose only capital is health. They are
engaged in work of various kinds, and
SO long as health lasts they earn u good
living. They must learn how to avoid
illness by living in the right way.
Others there are who have lived wrongly
in youth, but have found out their err
rors in time to have a fairly good con-
stitution left. These may live to ripe
old age healthfully, if they only take
care. Others there are with every
thing that riches can give; these must
learn to live rightly. too, if they want
to be well. Plain food. exercise, etc,
will enable these to live long. as they
are not troubled by the necessity Of
work so that they may live. Wealth
comes no. from our income, but from
the amount we save of it; so health
comes not from the amount we have to
go on with, but from the amount we
save. by not spending it on trifies which
waste our strength and give us no re-
turn.-Dr. 7. r. Allison.

CHAPTER II.

Twill here pause to describe the ship,
which, being the thcater of much that
befell me which is related in this story,
! should place before your eyes in as
true picture as can draw.
The Grosvenor. thea. was small.
full-rgged ship of five hundred tons,
painted black with asingle white streak
below her bulwarks. She was soft
wood vessel. built in Halifax, n. S.
Her lines were very perfect. Indeed,
the beauty of her hull, her lofty masts,
stayed with as great perfection as a
man-of-war's 5. her graceful figure-hcad.
sharp yacht-likc bows. and round stern
had filled me with admiration when l
first beheld her. Her decks were white
and well kept She had poop and a
tOp-galiant forecastle, both of which l
think the builder might have spared,
as she was scarcely big enough for
them. Her richly carved wheel, brass
Delaying pins, brass capstan, brass bin
nacle, handsome skylights and other
such details, made her look like gay
pleasure-vessel rather than sober
trader. Her cuddy. however. was
plain enough, containing six cabins,
including the pantry. The woodwork
was cheaply vanished mahogany; a
fixed table ran from the mizzen-msst to
within few feet of the cudGy front,
and on either side this table was a
stout hair-covered bench. Abaft the
mizzen-mast were the two cabins re-
spectivelv occupied by Captain Coxon
and Mr.. Duckling. Ny own cabin was
Just under the break of the poop, SO
that from the window in it could look
out upon the main-deck. A couple of
broad skylights, well protected with
brass wire-fenders, let plenty of light
into the cuddy; and swinging trays
and lamps, and red curtains to draw
across the skylights when the sun beat
upon them, completed the furniture of
this part of the vessel.
We could very well have carried
few passengers, and / never learned
why we did not; but it may, perhaps,
have happened that nobody was going
onr way at the time we were advertised
to sail.

Bogus Butter in Bengal.

Bengal has been greatly excited lately
by the discovery that extensive adulter-
alton is carried on in the manufacture
of ghee, or clarified butter. IN article
in daily use in every native household.
The intensity of the popular feeling ON
the subject is accounted for by the
fact that the adulteration is effected
either with beef and mutton fat. the
eating of which is q deadly sin in tho
eyes Of the Hindus, or with lard, which
the Mohammedans consider unclean
food. Both Hindus and Mohammedans

stroyed while small, with dust Of helle-
bore or pyrethrum. The latter. being
perfectly harmless. is to be more highly

Every farmer should prevent the
killing of birds on his place. Boys with
cheap shot-guns pepper away at every
thing with wings; and when the birds
are dead the insects eat up the farmers
produce.-Ttoy Times.
-Plow the heavy land and leave it in
the rough condition so that the frost can
penetrate and render it fine. There is
no better agency for pulverizing tough
soils than frost. 1t will also at the same
time destroy the cutworm.-CHiccgo
Herald
Those who have tried it say that
string beans can be had the year round,
as rarity. by picking them and sailing
them, just as you do cucumbers. When
to be used. take them from the brine and
freshen them; then cut and cook just as
you do in warm weather. They report
them as very tOothsome. and q nice
change of diet.-Boslon Budget.
If your hogs lack material to build
up their bony and muscular tissues,
suppose you try an experiment and
feed them lime, powdered bones. grass
and oats for muscle. When you feed.
see that every hog is present at roll-call.
and always seek the absent one. as
there is generally something wrong
with him, and that is the one to watch.

Three simple Methods which Have Stood
Successful Tests.
vinegar-making is a very simple pro
cess. Almost any sweet liquid. if left
exposed to the action of the atmosphere
for . few weeks. win change to acetic
acid. An old recipe is as follows: '.Ex-
pose mixture of one part of brown
sugar by weight with seven parts Of
water and some yeast, in q cask whose
bung-hole is only slightly covered over,
as by piece of gauze pasted down to
keep out insects. for some weeks to the
action Of the atmosphere and sun. Tho
addition of few grape vine leaves will
hasten fermentation and improve the
qualify of the vinegar" Vinegar makes
much faster in summer than in winter
unless kept in heated room.
Another method is to use potato
water. "rake quantity of potatoes,
wash them till thoroughly clean, then
place in large kettle and boil till done.
Drain of the water carefully, straiDing
if necessary in order to remove every
particle of the potato. Put this clean
potato water in a clean cask, which
should be kept in a warm place, and
add one pound of sugar to each ten
quarts of water, and some hop yeast.
In three or four weeks an excellent
quality of vinegar may be expected.
If potatoes are scarce the water from
each days boiling for table use may be
saved.
Another recipe which was tested in
the editors family last winter and
found good, is to take one quart of
common field corn, picked over and
washed clean, then put up in a pan or
pail and cover with warm water. Let
it stand on the back of a warm stove
all night. In the morning. when the
stove is hot, set the dish with the corn
over the fire and let it boil several
times, at least till the grains burst open,
keeping the corn constantly covered
with water. Then strain off the water
and add to it till you have three gallons.
To each gallon add three-guarters of u
pound of brown sugar. If you have a
little '.mother" that has formed on
other vinegar add little of that and
set in warm place in open vessels or
casks with the bungs out. In a few
weeks you will have good vinegar at o
low cest.-N. e. Farmer.

How Uncle Phil Armour Sailed Two

Legged Hog
Millionaire Phil Armour has a pleas
ant custom of buying suit of clothes
once year for each of his office en-
ployes. This year all but one Of the
boys visited certain tailor on the South
side and were measured for suits rang
ing in price from $50 to $35. The ex-
ception was dude, who sccrned the
selections made by his colleagues. He
wanted something gorgeous and tight
fitting. After paving over the fashion
plates of the tailor he finally selected
piece of goods which would cost 1925
to build into garments. When the
tailor, few weeks later. sent his item
lied bill into the big pork packer the
latter made inquiries for the purpose of
finding out whether this young man
with such aesthetic taste was really so
unfortunate as to have to work.
''ls he at work in any of our depart
ments?" Mr.. Armour asked. turning to
one of his lieutenants.
''Yes; he works in the - room, "
was the reply.
''Eh. eh; has he drawn his money for
this month";"
mo, sir; not yet"
'Well. then, go get his salary and
give it to me. and tell him want to see
him Mt once"
When the dude tripped up to the mil
lionaire the latter cleared his throat and
said:
ssYOunp man. like to have my clerks
consider themselves on an equality with
one another. In looking over the
tailor's bill find that you rate yourself
$50 higher than the figures your col
leagues place upon themselves. As l
see no tangible proof of your great
worth to this establishment, it gives me
much satisfaction to present to you your
months salary together with my esti-
mate of your value-your dismissal
from my service. Remember, I'm an
expert on hogs and know how to salt
them" Chicago Herald.

A GREAT PUZZLE.

The Arithmctical Problem Which y Sara
tosa Magnate Failed to Solve.
There is one summer boarder at Sara
toga who, if not of the social swim, is
in it, and has never failed to be present
during the season for the past thirty
years. He is known as the old pop
corn man. Men may come and men
may go, and women too, but he appar-
emily goes on forever. He is lop-sided
and lame, talks with q drawl, and is as
homely as hedge-fence, but clean and
neat in his appearance. His voice is a
cross between sick cat and og-horn,
as it begins with tremendous volumes,
but sinks into a crescendo-diminuend
then dies in an exasperating silence.
His refrain is always the same:
Popcorn.
Nice popcorn,
F-r-e-s popcorn"
"Jim, how much is your popcorn"
said swell one day.
''S-h-i-ll-in' er pint, Popcorn nice
p-o-p-c-O-r-n!" he bawled.
..Now, Jim," continued the swell,
show much does pint of popcorn
come to at a shilling quartz"
'L-O-O-k in Your own jograffy!
Popcorn. nice p-o-p-c-o-r-n!" yelled
the old man.
One day he appeared at the door of
the Union Hotel just as lady of severe
social distinction was coming out:

he stammered. ''kin yer 'rithmetic?''
Then he showed her a piece of
