Three pointed stones are erected near

this post gets covered with skulls, and

to splendid fields of wheat and oats to

large yields per acre will become less

their lands. In Minnesota and Iowa

were not uncommon when the lands in
those states were first broken, and now

MOTHERS CORNER.

i trust there are very few mothers
whose hearts are not filed with un-
speakable gratitude at the gift of little
life committed to their care and keep
ing. but as the months and years go by
the added burdens of her life are heavy
and her strength continually overtaNed,
then strong indeed, Is she, if in some
dark hour of weakness and depression,
she does not feel them almost more of
n burden than a blessing. Il know all
about this life, SAYS a writer for the
Household.
1 have borne the load through long
years of weakness and invalIdism and L

the habit persisted in, of looking for
the good tendencies and qualities of
our children, and now and then little
Unlocking, a little analyzing and cat
echising, to see If we are not expecting
and demanding more of our children
than we have given them strength OF
character for. The first thing 4 should
strive to impress upon a child would be
the measureless depths of my love, not
that silly infatuation some mothers call
love, that Is blind TO the child's faults,
or If not blind, has not the firmness
and good sense to correct and eradicate
them. Such nonsense as this Is un-
worthy the name of love But impress
upon YOUR child that you think II
beautiful gift from God, that you can
not love il too dearly. but that He trust
ed it to YOU to develop and mould lit

acter, which can only be done by con-

The Fly Was There.

"a funny Thing occurred here the
other day." said a barber, as he was
putting the finishing touches on a sat
urday evening haircut. "A fellow
came TO be shaved who was somewhat
under the influence of intoxicants. He
took his seat in the chair and all pro-
ceeded well till l had shaved one side
of his face, when he stopped me:
Hold on, want this thing 'splained.
81 asked him what was the matter,
and he replied: There's a fiy on my
cheek, and you have shaved the lather
and whIsker off, but the hy didn't
move. Now, what's the mazzer with
him?"
"I told him there was no fly on him,
but he pointed To the elmirrOr and said:
you think / can't see him. l aim so
drunk that l can't zee a fy.'
"All right-what is itb''
II turned TO the glass, and there
stood the fly on the mirror and in such
position that from my customers s
range of vision it seemed TO be on his
cheek. He afterward said that be had
cit that fly tickling him all the time,
and wondered how / could shave under
II and not cut its legs off. "

Fruit Between Meals.

Ny hired man was about to cut a
fine large muskmelOn, l saId: "You
are not going to eat that melon now,
are you? 1t Is only an hour since you
ate hearty breakfast; put it away till
noon and take 1t with your dinner +"
Hired Man: Walter is hfre and
would like him to help eat it," ! said !:
"G our friend Walter appears to be "A
nice young man, and you ought not to
treat him outrageously-by enticing him
to load his poor stomach with another
burden, when T. already has all it can
carry and take care Of Hired man,
''Oh, ripe melon or ripe peach won I
hurt anybody any time" said:
That idea has inflicted more dyspepsia
on mankind than all chTistendom' doc
tors can cure"
Multitudes of people agree with the
hired man. They are sure that little
fruit, a cup of coffee, a doughnut, a
little cake and candy, won't harm you
any time of day-these same people
don't think it necess airy to eat slow,
masticate their food well. avoid Indi-
gestibles, and eat sparingly; but some
how or other they have headaches and
numerous other ailments, and are
always taking medicine. Because our
vital powers don't give out entirely
with the first indiscretiODs, but work
to repair the mischief, We jump to the
conclusion that no damage is done, and
st ok to that belief TIL we are hopelessly
diseased. The weakest of our weak
nesses is when by a slight and transient
qualification OF appetite we bring upon
ourselves days and nights of pain and
lifelong tribulatiOns. Excess Is scarcely
worse that irregularity. That wise aud
good man, Charles Downing, said to
me: Neither fruit nor anything else
SHOULD he eaten between the regular
meals" He had suffered from early
indiscretions of this kind, and was
anxious to lead the young in the right
way.

The cold of Siberia is so great in

Frozen chicken, partridges and other

meat defies the knife, and some of the

CAVALRY MARCHES.
How Mounted Troops are Moved in
Times of Peace and War.

Owing to the peculiar nature of the
service demanded of the cavalry force
or our army-service for the greater
part in a new and unsettled country,
and against ths most willy and expert
of savage enemies the experience
gained in the moving of mounted
troops has been OF such a varied nature
that probably no other army can boast
of superiority over our TROOPERS in this
respect, and the proper conduct of the
marches of cavalry commands requires
experience and judgment, intelligence,
activity and endurance of a peculiar
nature on the part of both officers and
men Ordinary marches are generally
made at the rate of about twenty to
twenty-five miles a day, this being a.
complIshed in from five to six hours,
although there are times when the
days journey may be shorter or longer,
owing to the distance from one another
Of desirable camping-places, the i'm
portance of good grazing and sweet
water for the horses being evident.

Is usually made between SIX and seven
