Pretty Gowns for House Wear.

Now that winter is approaching,
women everywhere are considering
necessary changes in the wardrobe.
Women in cities usually pay more at
tention TO indoor dress than women in
the country, partly because they par

partly because they are more likely TO
be seen by callers. There is no rea-

try should treat the family the whole
year round 10 nothing but their Oldest

SOUND FARM PHILOSOPHY.
Bits of Wholesome Advice Which Are
Worth Reading Twice.

Before you enlarge production,
cheaper its cost.
The moon is never right while the
seed-bed is cloddy.
Country roads are too often paved
with good intentions.
No man ever reaped foul wheat from
clean ground and clean seed.
When prices are low is just the time
to improve your farm animals.
\ cross may be better than full
blood for feeding, but never for breed.

Fortunes favorites are the mor
whose thoughts make ways for their
actions.
If there were more drains on the
farm there would be fewer druggists
in the village.
Make easy and short the way to the
butcher of the animal that has learned
to break fences.
There is some sentiment about hav-
ing an ice house On the farm, but
there is at least as much financial WIS
dom.
Pay cash, if you have to borrow
money to do it. The banker will
charge you less than the merchant fol
credit.
Good farming consists as much il
overcoming adverse circumstances as
an improving fully favorable oppor
tunities
On an average, the man with the
fewest clods in the field in the fall has
the most wheat in the field the next
ummer.
Let the hogs clean up the waste APP
pies and peaches under the trees, and
there will be fewer waste fruits next
year. There viii also be better hogs
this year.
You can not increase your products
without increasing your expenses; bu'
production increases at faster rate
than expenses increase. Herein is the

TEARS.

There be three hundred ways and more
Of speaking, but of weeping only one;
And this one way, the wide world DER and DER,
Is known by all, though it is taught by none.
No man is master of this ancient lore,
And no man pupil. Every simpleton
Can weep we'll every sage. The man
Does it no better than the infant can.
Yet understand they not each others speech;
But tears are neither Latin nor vet Greek,
Nor prose, nor verse. The language that they
teach
Is universal Cleopatra's cheek
They decked with pearls no richer than from
each
OF earth's innumerable mOurners fall
Unstudied, yet correctly classical.
Tears are the oldest and the commOnest
OF all things upon earth; and yet how new
The tale each time told by them how unbessed
Were fe's hard way without their heavenly
dew
Joy borrows them from Grief; Faith trembes
lest
She lose them; even hope herself smiles through
The rainbow they make around her as they fall
And death, that cannot weep sets weeping all.
Earl of fLyttOn, in ''GIena VeriH."
