TO the Standard.
We are proud we are able to write
this week ourselves. Your CORES
pondent last week misrepresented the
cause of my illness, and was mistaken
in regard to my convalescence.
Spring has opened and our farmers
are very busy. And we are glad to
see the weather open so, as turnip
greens can be found to sustain life.
A certain young man in our vicini-
ty had a dream a few nights since
which is creating quite sensation.
He dreamed he was feasting on tur-
nip greens. He went to see his girl
and was relating his dream to her
and telling her how he enjoyed the
greens. His girl told him her mother
had 4 tow-sack full gathered to send
to her sister, and may be she could
spare him . few. He accepted hel
kind offer, and got a pillow slip and
gave him reasonable supply. He
went home rejoicing over his sue

The Belled Buzzard Again.

The belled buzzard seems to have
found a permanent residence some
where on Rocky River. We have
received postal card from Mr.. l..
M. Moore, of Laurelburg, giving the
following information:
81 saw the belled buzzard today
near Rocky River. 1t has been in
this settlement for four or five weeks,
and has been seen by many persons.
1t flew over my head today about
twenty feet high. l saw the bell
plainly, and could hear it almost as
far as l could see the buzzard."
Another correspondent from Cane
Ridge writes:
"The belled buzzard was seen neal
the head of Rocky River last week
Three different men saw the bird
and pronounce it an eagle or a buz,
zard."

Spirit of the Farm
There are numbers of farmers whose
time is so occupied with their regular
daily routine they do not have the
time to devote to poultry. Itmay be
these farmers have children
who do not work regularly on the
place. They may, however, aid ma
terially by devoting themselves to
this branch. Let them have books,
give them an agricultural paper or a
poultry journal. Let them study up
the question and go to raising under
improved methods, and if they are
the right sort Of boys, our word for it,
they will bring more money into the
common stock than any ordinary
sized farm. Besides, it will be agood
lesson to them it will teach them
business habits-they will see nothing
can be made without system and in
IShlSCiNSy anu IL VIII lSdCil u great
lesson to them, viz: The Importance
Of small things. They will see how
an aggregation of small things can be
made to sum up large results. If
there are no boys suitable, let the
girls have it. They will see the OPP
portunity of being able to have
money Of their own to invest in rib
bons, bonnets and dresses as they see
fit, and we will see a prosperous poul-
try yard pretty soon. This is one
way to teach children self-reliance
and the value of money. No child
can ever have a proper estimate of
pecuniary responsibility until they
are forced to earn the money they
spend. Try it who will, and it will
work well.

Books for Guests.

He is the most courteous host who
makes his guest feel thoroughly at
home. A writer in Good Housekeep-
ing illustrates, by the following remi-
niscense, the fact that to produce this
home-feeling in a guest, the host
must care for the mind as well as the
body:
At one time | was staying in a
house where the guest-chamber con-
tanned among the furniture a little
shelf of books. Ihave often thought
of them since, with a wonder that
more careful hostesses did not pro-
vide the same.
Nights when could not sleep, and
mornings when waited in my room
for the breakfast bell, 1 dipped into
the contents-a volume or two of
poems, some short stories, and inter
esting travels comprised the whole
and / found not the least part of my
visit in those quiet moments by the
window which overlooked the great,
old-fashioned garden. Any house
keeper could spare six or eight books
from her library, and almost any
guest would bless her for the thought.
The Golden Rule, which is a guide
to all branches of good housekeeping,
as to all branches of all business,
comes to ones aid here, and what we
care most for in anOther'S home, we

will make the sixth. --
The first is the weekly payments act, ap-
proved March %, which goes into effect
Thursday, July 1. 1t requires the payment
in full as often as once week of all wages
earned to within six days of the date of pay
ment, and applies to manufacturing, mining,
quarrying, mercantile, railroad, street rail-
road, telegraph, telephone and municipal
corporations, and to incorporated express
and water companies.
SAnSther act, approved March %, amends

The next two acts concern the safatv &c

| and the reporting of accidents. The iormer
which became law April 30, requires that
| in every manufact ory where machinery is
| propelled by steam, communication by means
| of speaking tubes, electric bells or other
means satisfactory to the inspectors of fac
| tories, shall be established, whenever the in
| spectors think it necessary, between each
room and the room where an engineer is sta
| toned
The other act approved June /, and to
take effect July l, requires manufacturers
and manufacturing corporations to report
any accident that results in death or injury
sufficiently serious to prevent the injured
person from returning to work within four
days.
The fifth act enables corporations to issue
special stock to their employees The par val
ue of the shares of such special issue is fixed
at $40, and the whole amount is not to ex-
coed two-fifths of the actual capital of the
corporation. These shares are not to be
sold or transferred except to an employe of
the corporation or to the corporation itself
Of course, the practical value of this scheme
to identify the interests of employees with
the interest of the corporation can be deter
mined only by experiment, but the Spring
field Union is convinced that it promises well
since it provides a basis on which to accom-
plish many things that workingmen of adj
vanced views hope to achieve. Cancellation
and arbitration in matters of wages, hours
and regulation could be much more readily
effected if majority of the employees were
identified with the corporation as stockhoid-
ers, and as such acquainted with its affairs.
Tenure of employment during efficiency and
good behavior would be more secure, also, to
stockholding employees.
