Enthusiasm.

Caughey says, ga poor, mad en-
thusiast thought he might ascend to
heaven, as well as Elijah, in a chariot
of fire, and so set his barn on fire,
that.when the flames reached his ele-
vated position among the hay, the
thing might be accomplished. The
chariot, as it approached him, looked
so uncomfortable that he concluded
not to 60 up just yet, and fastened
out of the way"
There are not many exact imitators
of this mad enthusiast. And yet
there are many who are as wild in
their calculations about reaching
heaven. Their dreams of an upward
flight are delusive. When the mo-
ment comes thought to beauspicious
it finds them utterly unprepared fol
the ascent. There is but one ladder
the foot of which rests on the earth,
and the top of which reaches to
heaven, and that is the atonement.
All the attempts to find entrance to
the celestial city aside from this are
as futile as that of themad enthusiast

How to Preserve Woman's Identity
After Marriage.

Chas. Dudley Warner, in Harper's Magazine.
In the first place, give the girl in
baptism only lone name. She will
be perfectly content with it. Her
lover never requires, never uses but
one of her names, if she has half a
dozen. In the height of his tender
ness, he never says, amelia Jane,
come to my armsW In the second,
place, when the girl marries let her
always keep her surname. Then,
whenever we see woman's name,
we shall know whether she is mar
ried, or single; and if she is married,
we shall know what her family
name is. If she has earned reputa-
ton as a writer or doctor or an LII.
d. as Mary Brown, she will carry
that with her as Mary Brown John
son; and in all cases there will be
spared an infinite amount of talk and
inquiry as to who she was before she
was married. This system is es-
sential to the ''cause" of woman. 1t
may be said that it lacks perfection
in two respects; we could not tell
from the three names whether the
bearer of them might not be a widow;
and it makes no provision for a second
marriage. These are ldelicate ques-
tons. In regard to the first, it is no.
body's business to know whether the
woman is or is not a widow, unless
she chooses to make that fact pro.
minent, and then she has ways
enough to emphasize it. And in the
second: place Tin case the woman
does not marry. her deceased hus
bands brother, by permission of con
gress) it does not at all matter wha1
becomes of the name of the first hus
band. 1t is the woman's identity
that is to be preserved. And sh'
cannot be required to set up mile
stones all along her life.

Special Delivery.

Farm and Fireside.
The Postmaster-G General has issued
an order extending the special de-
livery system to all post-officss. After
October every postmaster will be
required to provide for theimmediate
delivery of every article of mailable
matter properly stamped with a spe-
cial delivery stamp and directed to
any point within mile of the post
Office. This is an important step for
ward, as it offers the benefits Of the
special delivery system to precisely
those most needing it-those remote
from telegraph offices or in small
towns where there is no free delivery
The mOney-order system ought long
ago to have been extended in the
same manner.

The Bee Ordor.
Exchange.

Exchange.
Glucose is only 3 cents a pound,
while honey usually sells for 20 cents.
1t is an easy matter to sell bogus
honey, and have it stored by the bees
for that purpose. 1t is disguised by
the bees because they impart to it
the bee odor, or honey flavor, though
it is not really honey. The bees gath
er the glucose, sugar, molasses, or
whatever the material may be, and
simply deposit it in the combs. They
do not change it in the least but al
low it to become of the proper con-
sistency for Gaping it over, and the
glucose is then sealed in the comb the
same as genuine honey. This kind
of adulteration may be lawful, but it
is deception, nevertheless, for it is
nothing more than making the bees
the agents through which glucose is
deposited in the combs instead of the
honey.

Remedy for Burns.

For slight burns, cover all the in
jured parts with layer of powdered
soda. For deeper burns, but where
the skin is not broken, dip linen rags
in a solution made by dissolving
about one third of an ounce of soda
in pint of water, lay the rags on,
and keep them moist with the solu-
ton. For very severe burns, follow
ed by suppuration formation ofpus,)
apply the rags in the same way, keep
ing them moist, but frequently ex-
change them when dry for fresh ones
and carefully wash off, with the soda
solution, any matter that has ac-
cumolated underneath, 50 that it may
not be absorbed into and poison the
blood.

Good Advice.

The Ohio Farm Journal gives the
following good advice to its readers.
"To our farmer friends who have
young stock and young men at home,
we say you want to cultivate in
them good business habits, and Gre
ate a taste for taking care of stock,
let them take the animals to your
neighboring fair and try for the prem
ium. The rivalry that ensues will
stimulate an emulation to excel in
the stock they raise, and the expert
ence will brighten their judgments
and you will not only help the fair
along, but be administering a good
practical business lesson to the boys.
Help the boys"

A young man, at the risk of his
life, saved a beautiful young girl
from drowning. Her grateful father

that makes life dear to me, Which
reward will you take-$2OO 900 or the

"I'll take the daughter" replied
the heroic rescuer, thinking thereby
to get both the girl and the money.

the grateful father. 81 could not

and mother above everybody else on
earth. Do so because it is right and
eminently proper in itself. 1t is best

do something to gladden. the heart Of
your mother and draw the eye of
father in admiration upon you. Con-
suit your parents before taking any

by making the wishes of her parents

that they know far better what is for
your true interest than you possibly
can know.

had occasion to complain that this or

that plan either.

People who advertise only once Ia

ments on the public and they viii
soon melt under ii like rock salt.
Quitting advertising in dull times is

less in rent and more on advertising.
EnterprisiDg people are beginning
to learn the value of advertising the
