1t is not to sweep the house, make
the beds, darn the socks and cook
the meals chiefly that a man wants
q wife. If this is all he needs, q
servant can do it cheaper than a
wife. If this is all, when a young
man calls to see lady, send him in
to the pantry to taste the bread and
cake she has made; send him to
inspect the needlework and bed
making; or put a broom in her
hand and send him to witness it's use.
Such things are important, and a
wise young man will quickly look
after them. But what the true
young man wants with n wife is her
companionship, sympathy and love.
The way OF life has many dreary
places in it, and u man needs vile
to go with him. A man is some
times overtaken by misfortunes; he
meets with failures and defeat; trials
and temptations beset him, and he
needs one to stand by and sympa-
thiZe. He has some hard battles to
fight with poverty, enemies and sin,
and he needs woman that when he
puts hts arms around her, he feels he
has something to fight for; she will
help him to fight; she will put her lips
to his ear and whisper words of
counsel, and her hand to his heart
and impart inspiration. All through
life, through storm and through sun
shine, conflict and victory, through
adverse and through tavoring winds,
man needs a woman's love.-The
Lady.

HOME SWEET HOME.

Weary end fnint lay the old grandsire-
He had hidden adieu to earthly things;
His hands were clasped like a saint ut rest,
In the holy calm deaths angel brings.
1.-The way had been long-he was SO tired,
SO glad to reach the end" he said;
Then closed his eyes with parting smile,
While we kept our vigil beside his bed.
The sands of life were ebbng fast
We felt ''the last of earth" had come,
When, sudden, the voice of a little child
Sang sweetly and clearly, Home, sweet
home.'
At once the wan lips opened wide,
The dim eyes beaped on us in prayer,
And we caught the pale lips wistful words:
There's no place like home-help me reach
there"
Then, while he gently fell asleep,
We took up the strain of the little child,
And sang the old man to his heavenly rest,
Safe in the fold of the Shepherd mild.
And the smile still lived on the dear, calm face,
On which the shadow of death had come;
But our grief was stilled, and our hearts were
glad.
For we knew he was sheltered at "Home,
sweet home"

The Ancient Ale faster.

The modern wine faster and tea
faster are we'll known institutions,
but in old times there was an office
of ale faster, to the holder of which
fees were paid in kind. 1t is noted in
DR.. Langbaine's COLLECTIONS, under
Jan. %, 1917, that John Shurle had
patent from Arthur Lake, bishop
of Bath and Wells, and vice chancel-
lor of Oxford, for the office of ale tast-
er to the university, and the making
and assizing of bottles of hay. The
office of ale tasting requires that he
go to every ale brewery the day
they brew, according to their courses,
and taste their ale for which his
ancient lee is one gallon ofstrong ale
and two gallons of small wort, worth
a penny.-Lippincott's Magazine.

SOME time ago there was terrible
case where morphine was put up for
quinine by druggist. 1t appears
that these mistakes are made some
times everywhere in the world, but
the most expensive place to make
then is in Paris. An apothecary there
recently gave pills of opium for quin-
inc, and the man died. On his trial
the apothecary honestly admitted his

end of the penalty. He was sentenced
to three months Imprisonment and TO

In passing any piece of sowed corn
late in the growing season, it is easy
to see what will and what will not
make good feed. That which has
been thickly sown, especially on poor
sell, is light yellow color, tastclcss.
and nearly void of nutritive value.
That sown in drills and cultivated
once or twice, is large thick stemmed
and dark green in color. Taste it
and you will find the sweetness that
with little more room and time
would be transformed iuto the starch
of the perfected grain.
