The farmers Home

Webster defines home as a dwelling
place." but 1T admits of a broader
meaning, says writer in the Practi-
cal Farmer. There are brilliant and
elegant homes. Homes take their
character from the character of their
inmates, and may be wise, thrifty and
careful, or warm and genial, around
whose glowing hearthstones, anyone
at any time may gather and find
peaceful enjoyment. There are bright
sunny homes, and gloomy homes.
There are homes where all is hurry
and hustle through years of incessant
toll, until one and another of the
worn out inmates droop and fade like
the leaf, and the homes turn to dust.
Science has done much to remove
the drudgery of our homes; introduc.
ing greater ease and consequently
more comfort. An ideal home must

Pure Water for Cows.

Prof. Law, OF Cornell University, re-
Gently examined the milk from cows
which had access to water from stag
nant pools, and found in every case the
milk full of living organisms He also
found the animals themselves to be in
a feverish condition owing to their
blood being charged with the living
animalcule. The Prairie Farmer
has always kept before its readers the
Importance OF providing pure water
for stock, but especially for the cows;
and the testimony from so distin-
guished an authority, as above quoted,
adds emphasis to the opinions we
have already expressed.-Prairie Far.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
important Change Contemplated In the
System of Examinations.

SYstem of fXAmtnAtions
W. sHINGToN, d. c., Aug. 1.-THE
civil service commission contempiates
another important change in the sys-
tenn OF examinations for admission to
the post-office and custom-house serv-
ices. which will shortly be formulated
and promulgated. 1t viii be made In
response to the desire OF the civil
Service Reform Association that the
local boards OF examiners for adnis-
sion to the post-office and Gus
toms service should be composed
of men who are not themselves
in the civil service. This proposed
system of independent examiners, the
commissioners do not consider practl-
cable, so far as they are concerned.
In the first place it would require
change in the civil service act, when
provides that the examiners shan De
taken from the civil service, and IN the
second place it would necessltete the
creation of several hundred new offices.
The commissioners think that the
proposed change in the system
will effect the same result IN
p better way. They propose TO
have the local examiners send
all the examination papers directly 10
the civil service commission here, 10
be marked or graded, instead OF mark
ing or grading them themselves as 81
present. Thus the marking and grad
ING will be uniform and will rot be AFFECT

A Good Reason for Quitting.

From the ST. Paul Pioneer Press
81 am going to quit smoking cigar
ettes," said a young man who has led
more than one german in st. Paul.
"What's the matter?" | asked.
"Weli," heresponded, sit isn't because
it's vile habit that is going to carry
me down to an early grave, or any
thing of that sort. One placed me, or
rather young lady, in very embar-
RAISING position. There is very
charming young lady on st. Anthony
Hill whom should like very much to
make my wife, and know she feels as
[ do. But | am not able yet to sup
port q wife, so / have never said a
word to the young lady's parents.
Well, the other evening she and i took
stroll. 1t was about half past 8
when We returned to the house, so |
did not go in. We stood chatting for
a few moments and / lighted cigar
cite. When she went into the house,
|, OF course, kissed her good night.
Well, without giving it thought she
went in, bade her mother good night,
and kissed her also. The old lady inn
mediately detected the odor of the Gig
arctic on her daughters lips and ques-
toned her about it. The poor girl
had either to acknowledge that |
kissed her or that she smoked cigar
cite. When the young lady told me
about it | had not the courage to ask
her what course she chose. Now you
know why cigarettes and | will be
strangers in the future"

These roses were large and pure

wax and were odorless. Wax roses
grow on unsightly bushes, Mr.. Mac

a year. The flower which is sup
ported by huge stem for a rose,
turns to purplish color as it grows
old. The flowers seen at the bank
were the second ones that Mr.. Mac
farlane was successful in raising.
They are pretty to look at, but per-

DEPARTURE OF o. S. s. AUSTRALIA

The departure of the O. S.. S.
Australia this noon for San Fran

account of the inclemency of the

was small-iive cabin, and thirty
nine steerage. Neither was the cargo
large on account of there being no
sugar. 1t consisted of n variety of
island products valued at S45,-

wharf sold but few leis, and the
vessels departure would have been
gloomy if Berger and his boys had
not been there to enliven the scene.
The vessel glided into the stream
while handkerchiefs on the wharf
waved Aloha to Capt. Houdlett and
