WIT AND WISDOM.

Zone mans conduct may lead q
host into snare; beware how you fol-
low man; the prudent man looketh well
to his going"
Why is it that, whenever you are
looking for any thing, you always find
1t in the last place you look? The
reason is because you always stop look
ing when you find it.
Young man, don't break in two in
the middle if the world goes against
you. Brace up and go against the
world awhile, and see how quick you
can knock it out.- Washington Critic.
The faults and weaknesses OF
others, instead of being woven into gos-
sip, scandal and useless criticism,
should be used as danger signals. to
warn us away from the paths which
have led to them
1t is clearly an undeniable fact that
mankind generally had rather remain
actually ignorant of any certain thing
not already known to them than to
learn it in any way which will show
and virtually acknowledge their igno-
rance.-Des Moines Leader.
If the right is not used as weapon
of offense, it is not so likely to need to
spend itself in its own defense. And II
the wrong is busy neither with its own
defense nor with the direct ofense
against the right, it is more fairly open
to see the right as exhibited in the
right. 1t is better to draw one into the
right than even to drive him out Of the
wrongs. s. Times.

ABOUT COMBED HONEY.
How to Care for 1t So That VIII Bring
Good Price.

How to Care for 1t So That VIII Bring n
Good Price.
Too much of the honey which is sent
to market brings low price because
it has been poorly cared for. These
practical hints from the Iowa Home
stead are worth noticing:
In the first place. there is no hurry
about taking it off the hives. The bees
can care for it more cheaply, and even
if it is not quite so white as when taken
off earlier, flavor is improved by per-
feet ripening, which, to my mind,
more than compensates for the slightly
darker shade which the comb presents.
If taken off during warm weather it
will sometimes be spoiled by the larvae
of the bee-moth. The worms can be
fumigated with sulphur in tight box
or room. but this is seldom necessary,
and is not practiced TO any extent by
the best honey producers. If comb
honey is produced by the best methods
there will be scarcely any pollen cell
in it, and in the absence of these the
moths do little harm. A worm is sell
dom seen in surplus honey unless there
is pollen in some of the cells. When
honey is taken off the hive, if in small
sections containing only one comb
each. it can be held up to the light and
every cell of pollen detected. If these
are kept by themselves and used or
sold first, the rest will be compara-
lively free from moths.
Honey should never be kept in a
cellar-neither comb nor extracted.
That is the worst possible place for it..
1t will gather moisture or ''sweat" and
soon become "off flavor" if not posi-
lively sour. Store it in a dry, warm
room, if possible (safe from mice). then
it will keep ten years. 1t will not
granulate so soon in a warm room, and
its flavor will improve. | now have
some that is three years old, and is not
candied, but is so thick that it will not
run. Extracted honey can not be kept
in too warm u room.

FARM AND FiRESiDE.

"A we'll trained shepherd dog is a
good piece Of property. An unframed
one is of no value about sheep or cattle.
The gooseberry is such a favorite
fruit that its season can never be too
long. To secure fruit some weeks later
than is produced in the ordinary quar-
ters, number of bushes should be
planted behind or against anorth wall.
Once in while u cheap COW makes
good return to her owner, but that is
not the rule. Tho rule is that cheap
things are the most expensive in the
end, and COWS are not an exception to
the rule That does not mean, how
ever, that u man should invest for
tune in a cow.
Examination at the Delaware ex-
pertinent station of moderately pure
clover seed, with but n trifle more than
one per cent. of impurity by weight,
showed that it contained the seeds OF
plantain, ragweed, smartweed and fox
tail grass in sufficient quantity to put
one seed every foot in drills fifteen
inches apart if the clover seed were
sown eight pounds to the acre.
To feed calves and young stock
hay and have them weigh no more in
April than they do in November, is to
lose hay and labor; and to feed a dairy
that is unproductive on good hay and
grain and make the profit from dairy
ing off of the grass next season, on low
prices, is quite as Improbable. If the
COWS are to go unproductive let them
do so in grass and flytime. Make the
harvested crops pay u profit.
Rubbing will shrink flannels, there

Make a very hot suds with CASTLE SOAP
and about teaspoonful of boraX. Soak
the hannels in this for short time
then wash by rinsing them well in this

quickly out of the wind.

THE POET TENNYSON.
A Number of Anecdotes illustrating His
Eccentricity,

A Number of Anecdotes illustrating His
Eccentricity.
A few years ago some enthusiastic
admirers of Tennyson gave large
dinner party in his honor, and invited
all their choicest friends in the world
of literature and art to meet him.
Tennyson, who rarely accepts an invi-
tation, did, for wonder, put in an
appearance on this occasion, but dur
ing the first half of the dinner caused
the greatest disappointment by re-
naming absolutely silent, and as if
lost in the most profound reverie.
The guests. who had expected to hang
on words falling like pearls of thought
from his lips, gazed somewhat visit
fully upon him, when, rousing sud
denly, he exclaimed in a loud, stem
torian voice: II like my mutton cut
in chunks!' 1t is likely that there was
something of malice prepense in this
burst of confidence, and that the poor
man felt not unnatural irritation at
being gaped at and a corresponding
desire to punish the offenders.
An anecdote told not long ago by his
daughter-in-law is amusing, in that it
shows how the greatest are not inca
pable of STOPPING to little weaknesses.
Some very dear friends of Tennyson,
who had been spending some years in
Persia, returned to London, and, anx-
ious to renew old ties, wrote inviting
him to their house. But Tennyson
mistook the day, and arriving at the
domicile found the birds flown. Sitting
down to write note of explanation. he
had the misfortune to throw the con-
the beautiful new white Persian car
pet. The maid-seryant in answer to
his summons, appeared with large
jug of new milk, which she poured over
the offending ink-stain. 'Ill give you
five shillings, my good girl, my very
good girl" continued Tennyson, in
mucn agitation, ''if you will only get
rid of that abominable ink before your
master and mistress come home" And
together, on their hands and knees,
poet and servant rubbed and rubbed at
the wretched carpet until not spot
remained. The girl earned her five
shillings, and when. a few weeks after
ward. Tennyson went to dine with his
friends, he had every reason to believe
that she had told no tales. Al any
rate his host and hostess displayed
their gorgeous carpet without signs of
consciousness. IN. Y. Weekly.

ALONG. BRAVE SWIM.
Heroic Feat of N French Youth at the
Battle of Trafalgar.

Heroic Feat of N French Youth at the
Battle of Trafalgar.
Here Is u story of an exploit OF
French youth in the battle of Trafalgar.
This exploit was witnessed by my
at-grandfather-he was an officer in
the service of the French navy-and
was recorded in his diary on the day
following the battle.
About the middle of the engagement,
when defeat stared the French in the
face. the French commander signified
that utter rout could be prevented only
by the conveyance of certain written
instructions to the vessel which had
been the bulwark of the French on
that day. The announcement was re-
ceived with generality of startling
eyes and blanched cheeks, when up
stepped proudly and smilingly lad
named ROGUE. The commander un-
derstood that look. "Wiil youP Think
of the danger, my brave lad!' al have
thought of it, sir; l am ready" The
message was Immediately placed in
tight box, which was forthwith secure
ly fastened around the neck OF the
fire-breathing ROGUE.
The British saw the heroic lad plunge
into the water, and quickly surmised
the meaning. When he reappeared at
about twenty yards from the vessel
whence he lenped, the British guns
were turned on him without delay.
But the wary lad dropped below the
surface and rose at further distance
onward for q fresh inhalation. This
was done regularly and at brief inter-
walls. The British, however, could not
trace his movement, which was studi-
ously irregular, and fired at random to-
ward the spot where they supposed he
might come up. The Kissing balls
plowed the waters deep and wide, but
without avail. For after an exhaust
ing struggle of ten minutes the young
hero suddenly emerged at the side OF
the vessel, to which he steered, and
was hastily drawn aboard by ready
hands. A shout of exultation went up
from the French and the British at the
success of this heroic act.
The sailors of the ship which received
him rushed forward to overwhelm him
with congratulations. But the noble
lad was no more. He had sunk upon
the deck and expired from sheer ex'
haustion.
The message was important The
remains of the vanquished were safely
conducted from the scene of conflict
and with them-lingering in the bos
oms of many-went the fearful memory
of the heroism of ROGUE. Cor. Pnila

"DOLCE FAR NiENTE."
How to Obtain Rest Which Benefits the
Mind as Well as tho Body.

Some people, of course, never under
stand dolce far niente. There are souls
so restless that, when their longed-for
holiday ut length arrives, they fly off,
in utter disregard of all the tiresome
trials OF travelling. to climb mountains
in Switzerland, or to explore miles of
picture galleries in Italy. Others,
rashly giving themselves into the keep
ing of hospitable acquaintances, find
themselves, faded and worn out, in
volved in all the doings of friends, fresh
enough to crave exercise and excite
ment, which torture their exhausted
guest. How can people who never put
pen to paper save to write some hur-
ried note realize the WEAKNESS oil
those to whom pens are bread winners!
1t is to them u thing incredible that
long eventless days, utterly engrossed
in lounging on turf or gazing on trees,
can have charms for any one. Shoot
ing, fishing, cricket are sweet enough,
but that utter unoccupation can be
sweeter they will never believe. Yet 1t
is this complete quiescence which
makes the happiness of tired humanity.
Not to read not to write, not to think;
merely to eat, sleep and lounge as much
as possible, is the nc plus ultra of eX-
hausted systems. No one who
has not been utterly wearied
can realize the delicious feeling
of repose when body and mind grow
gradually rested, until slowly, slowly
wish to do something once again
springs up. The energetic beings who
devote themselves to travels tolls miss
this delight; they may, perhaps, return,
invigorated if they have not worn them
selves to thread-papers by violent
climbings, for which stroll down
Picadilly or st. James street has been
their only training; but the repose wor
by those who understand the dolce ta'
niente is an unknown quantity. IL
travellers keen remembrance of lakes
and mountains makes the commones
of London streets intolerable; the at
mosphere seems odious, and the whole
thing horrible. The disciples of dotc'
far miente, on the other hand, have gar
nered in such store of reposeful mem
cries that they have but to close thei
eyes to find themselves again dreaming
where the waves break close to thei
feet, where heather scents the air, or il
some sheltered nook where stately tree
shut out all sight of every thing save
patchwork dome of blue sky softened b.
white fleecy clouds. London World.
