Tonic for the Tired.

Watch the faces as they go by on a crowd
ed street, and just notice what n tired look
many of them wear. IT we could read all
the hearts around lis we would find multi
tudes who are weary in spirit, and sometimes
sigh for pillow in the grave. Some are
tired out with life's hard struggles, with bear
ing the heat and burden of the day. Others
persist in piling up anXieties rs high as an
old-iashioned peddler's pack. They carry
huge load of care as to how they shall make
both ends meet, and how they shall foot the
bills" that accumulate, and how they shall
provide for all the hungry mouths and
sCunty wardrobes. One is tired from trying
to do too much, and another of waiting for
something to do grievous burden of
spiritual dependency makes Brother Small
faith heart ache, and puts an extra wrinkle
in Sister Weakback's countenance. Here is
disciple who is tired OF waiting for success,
and tired of waiting for answers to prayer.
Do you suppose that the dear Master does
not see all these tired bodies and exhaused
nerves and weary hearts? To those who
are honestly run down with honest toll, He
says Come We apart into quiet place
and rest awhile" God puts night of sleep
after every day ofwork for this very purpose
of recruiting lost force. To Christians with
small purses He kindly says: Your life con-
sisteth not in the abundance of things We
possess. l counsel thee to buy of me gold tried
in the fire, that thou mayest be rich. My
grace is sufficient for thee; at my right hand
are treasures forever more" There is not
money enough in this land TO give everybody
n fortune, but there are promises enough in
the Bible and grace enough in Christ Jesus
to make everybody rich to eternity. Just
think what millionaire man is who has q
clear hope of Heayen hereafter.
To poor Brother Smalliaith and Borrowing
Mrs. Weakback he gives wonderful lift In
these words: "Lo!I am with you always.
No man shall pluck you out ofhands. 1t is
my Fathers good pleasure to give the king

Young Old Meu.

A LADY, while condoling with friend
upon the death of her father, asked what his
age was, She was informed that he had
reached his 77th year. 'Indeed," exclaimed
the old lady, 81 had no idea that he was an
old man." Nor was he, except in the sense
that he had passed the allotted period of ex-
istence. To his family and intimate friends
he never appeared to be old. The vivacious-
ness of his disposition and active personality
forbade it. There were no indications about
him of age. Fond of social life cheerful even
when surrounded with difficulties, and free
from decrepitude until my father succumbed
to disease, he had the manners and appear
ance of middle life" have seen several per-
sons of both sexes who, although beyond 20,
retain in marked degree almost youthful
bearing, especially when in company with
those who are still in the prime of life.

Grew splendid, lighted by her face.
But while her radiance filled the room,
A darkness close behind her drew,
A voice sighed inward through the gloom,
Take her, o friend, but take me TOO.

Her moist eyes glistening in the glow

Which one is dearer, or more fair.

From windows that take in the sky,
And hear. through every burst of mirth,

OF restless hearts, that in unrest,
More than in happiness, are blest
Never was Joy yet born below
But Sadness too appeared, her twin.
Yet, from the far-of heavens aglow
1llumes the dusty deeps within;
A glimpse of joys diviner face,
When tears shall leave thereon no trace
Come Sadness haunt me with high shame

Stay till her eyes fill mine with fire
Of infinite, sublime desire!

To have healthy and hearty horses
due care must be taken to provide them
! with suitable stables. These should be
warm, dry and well ventilated. If the
roof is of straw let it be thatched so that
it does not leak. No farmer can afford
TO have water leaking down upon his
norses. Have first a roof that does not
leak, next see that the sides of the stable
are Tree from cracks. so that there will
be no drafts upon the horses. Have the
yentilators so that they are under your
control. After You have a good roof
and tight sides, properly ventilated and
ughted, 1t Is proper to consider the floor
of the stable. You can get no better one
than earth. This will keep the feet of
The horses in good condition, and needs
onl ly to be kept level by filling in the
holes made by the stamping of the feet
OF the horses. If you have an earth floor
be sure and keep 1t free from ridge over
which the horse must hang when it lies
down. The next best floor is one made
of short blocks of wood, such as are used
IN paving city streets. If the stable is
not on the ground level, of course floor
Will needs be made of plank. OF what
ever the stable floor is made have drain.
inns VIII facilitate Keeping the horses
clean and the stable clean and healthy.
Have the stalls wide enough to allow the
horses to lie down comfortably. 1t is
well enough to have the partitions high
enough to prevent the horses reaching
each other. Be sure to have no proiec
tions in the stab upon which the
horses can hurt themselves in lying down,
turning around, or raising their heads.
This will necessitate having the ceiling
high enough to clear their heads when
lerked up suddenly. Have the feed boxes
and racks just high enough to allow the
head to be in natural pos tion while
eating. Have both these so arranged
that there will be no waste of grain or
hay. To save time in feeding have grain
bin and hay handy to stable. When the
stable IS made comfortable, convenient
and healthy, see that the surroundings
are made the same. Don't have a great
pile of manure Just in front OF the door.
Have small drain to carry the water
from the stable, so that it may be ap-
preached handily and be at the same
time more healthful, because free from
stagnant water. Nowis the best time of
the year to put your stable in good shape.

Nearly all the great roads employ a
corps OF what are known as Iost-caI
searchers or tracers.' Every freight car
is numbered and used for certain pur.

fiat open car, or a box car, it can be
traced from one end OF the country TO
the other. The 'searchers' will follow a
olew to San Francisco il necessary. and
see that the car is returned to its propcr
station. The car searcher' has been a
most active agent Of the railroads for
many years past, but, as in every other
business, improved methods are con
stantly introduced.
AT last our great trunk line road has
dispensed with the car searcher in favor
of a large force of responsible clerks
