A Few Sensible Words About Psopls
"with Axes to Grind.
The traditional esteem in which i
held the man who has an axe to grind
is very slight. Self-interest, which Is
hardly more than synonym Of selfish.
ness, is conceded to be the handspring
of his life, and, naturally, it ATTRACTS
little sympathy. The man or woman
who would succeed must do so byre
lating himself to something higher
than himself, or he fails to inspire that
response in the minds of those around
him. which produces the vital magnet
ism of working atmosphere. As
general statement, this is always true;
but the changing conditions Of modern
life has linked more closely all motives
and all interests, till, in very literal
sense, it is true that mo- man liveth TO
himself. Practically. therefore, theei.
feet is just this: The man who has an axe
to grind is ready, in return, to help
grind another mans axe, and the meii
cheerful and encouraging atmospnere
of mutual good will and response is en-
gendered. In fact, the axiom is qulR
redeemed. by these modern conditions,
from any specially unworthy sense q
Interpretation. Most people who an
good for any thing have the traditional
axe to grind, and the traditional iron
in the fire. The law OF co-operatOn
prevails. 1t binds together the COM

The new lin&of TRANSIT Pacific steam

nalized its establishment by reducing
its rate for Chinese passengers from
$50 to $25. This rate includes food
during the voyage, whish may last 80
days, and transportation over nearly
One-quarter of the circumference of the
earth. One of the recently-arrived
steamers brought 1000 Chinese, and
In view of the low rate, the writer was
led to inquire of the steamship agent
If it were possible to properly feed the
immigrants during the 80 days at sea
and yet make profit. His reply was
in the affirmative.
But what sort of rations are fur
nishedp" l asked.
Chiefly rice,n he said. THAT is,
rice is the chief staple of Chinese
food at home and abroad, and if it is
properly cooked a Chinaman will rare
ly grumble. But we take out small
quantity of meat to cook with it. We
also take large quantities OF beans
red beans. white beans, black beans,
brown beans, every kind of bean that
China produces, and beans are cheap
there You would laugh to hear how
cheap Then we furnish orange peel
for relish, of which the Chinese are
fond; also dried shrimps and a variety
of dried fish, and for an occasional bit
Of dessert dried abalone. But the
thing we have to be the most particu-
lar about is the 'chows.'"
''What are those-the saucesp"
Eyes, the chow elbows. We take out
20 different kinds of these elbows! 1t
seems as if every Chinaman has a par
ticular kind that he prefers. AS they
eat their rice and fish and beans, they
keep tasting these.
"Of course, we got them cheap in
Hong Kong. They don't cost like
Worcestershire sauce. Altogether these
immigrants get as good food on ship
board as they get at home; in fact they
often fat up with us.
Now, what do you suppose 1t cost
us day to feed each one OF these 1900
Chinese on our last trip"
Fifteen cents-for guess"
Just Al cents a day, or about $1.l8 a

Self-respect ought to be counted pre-
cious by every person. No man ought
to forfeit his self-respect out of regard
to any human being. But lot man
beware lest he confound self-respect
with self-esteem. A man may refuse to
do right at the request OF another
simply because by changing his course
he would practically admit that his
opinions had been wrong on the subject
up to this time. Many a man makes a
mistake at this point 1t is better to
mortify ones self-esteem than to main
tain 1t at the cost of continuing in a
wrong course. True self-resrsct would
prompt us to avoid being controlled ty
DIR self-esteem; and it is often the case
that another mans judgment as to the
dictates of our self-respect is better
than our owns. S. Times.

Systematic Rules Summed Up in Seven
teen Brief Paragraphs

Systematic Rules Summed Up in Seven
teen Brief Paragraphs.
In raising poultry or stock Of any
kind it should be the aim Of every one
to keep it healthy and improve it You
can do 1t very easily by adopting some
systematic rules. These may be sum-
med up in brief as follows:
/. Construct your house good and
warm so as to avoid damp floors and
afford food Of sunshine. Sunshine
is better than medicine.
3. Provide dusting and scratching
place whore you can bury wheat and
corn, and thus induce the fowls to take
the needful exercise.
8. Provide yourself with some good,
healthy chickens, never to be over
three or four years old, giving ono
cock to every twelve hens.
4. Give plenty of fresh air at all
times, especially in summer.
5. Give plenty of fresh water daily,
and never allow the fowls to 60 thirsty.
6. Feed them systematically two or
three times day; scatter the food, SO
they can't eat it too fast or without
proper exercise. Do not feed moro
than they will eat up clean, or they will
get tired OF that kind Of feed.
4. Give them a variety Of both dry
and cooked feed; mixture of cooked
meat and vegetables is an excellent
thing for their morning meal.
8. Give soft feed in the morning and
the whole grain at night, except little
wheat and cracked corn placed in the
scratching places to give them exercise
during the day.
9. Above all things keep the house
clean and we'll ventilated.
10. Do not crowd too many into one
house; If you do look out for disease.
IL. Use carbolic powder occasionally
In the busting bins to destroy lice.
12. Wash your roosts and bottom Of
laying nests and whitewash once
week in summer and once q month in
winter
1S Let the old and young have as
large range as possible. the larger the
bctter.
IA Don't breed too many kinds OF
fowls at the same time. unless you are
gGlng into the business. Three or four
will give you your hands full.
16 Introduce new blood into your
stock every year or so by either buying
cockerel or settings Of eggs from some
reliable breeder
16 In buying birds or eggs go to
some reliable breeder who has his rep
utation at stake. You may have to pay
little more for birds. but you can de-
pend on what you get Culls are not
cheap at any price.
II. Save the best birds for next years
breeding and send the others to market
In shipping fancy poultry to market
send it dressed. --Marsey's Illustrated
Monthly.

eulIs and Their Young.

Every bird watches over and cares
for her own nest. though the numbers
are so great and the tumult so excessive
that it is difficult to conceive how each
gull can distinguish her own spotted
eggs, placed in the midst of so many
others, exactly similar in size, shape
and color; and when at length the
young are Matched and are swimming
about on the loch or crowded together
on some grassy point, the old birds, as
they come home from distance with
food, fly rapidly amid thousands of
young ones exactly similar to their
own, without even looking at them,
until they find their own offspring,
which, recognizing their parents among
all the other birds, receive the morsel
without any Of the hungry. little Great
Ires around attempting to dispute the
prize, each waiting patiently for its
own parent, in perfect confidence that
its turn will come in duo season. =

GOLD FIELD NOTES.
Wonderful Things Reported by Strictly
Truthful ChrOnic1er.


Truthful ChrOnicler.
II half the stories are true which are
told aboat the newly discovered gold
region in the Southwest, it is indeed a
wonderful country. The following is
taken from a newspaper which is pub
lished in the neighborhood;
"The greatest excitement prevails in
the place, and well it may, for words
fail to express the truth Of the matter.
There is gold in the water, there is gold
in the air, there is gold everywhere.
1t is so plentiful that every miner Gar
ries his own gold belt wherever he
goes. Some carry the metal in their
teeth. The bell boys at the Ensenada
Hotel make large sums every week by
brushing off and saving the gold dust
which travellers bring in on their
clothes. The sheriff's handouts are
gold-bondB.
THE most wonderful discovery Of all
is that the river which runs through
the camp is simply liquid gold
NETS are set in the river over night
to catch the nuggets which come float
ing down, and these miners make their
breakfast off the goldfish which get
caught along with the nuggets.
Wash china in the stream and 1t
comes out gold plate.
"a tramp went in swimming and
came out completely clad in gold armor,
but not being satisfied with thirteen
carat suit, he went in again for second
coat and was drowned by the weight.
"a copper-colored Indian baby was
changed into a golden cherub by inn
mersion in the water so that its mother
refused to own it.
Cattle driven into the water in order
that they may drink, walk out on tho
other side gilded and watered stock.
ITO obtain a rich golden butter 1t is
only necessary to kill and throw in a

this isP"-Time.

RESTORING FERTILITY:



Hardly Make - Mistake.
Through larger part Of the country
than the advocates of the great West
will admit. the means Of improving
worn-out or impoverished land are the
most practical questions in farming.
1t is almost certain that in large por.
tions Of Dakota. eEen before It is ad-
mitted to Statehood, successive wheat
cropping has seriously diminished the
yield. In Minnesota this failure Of the
soil occurred several years ago, and 80
suddenly that it is recognized as an era
by farmers and other business men.
Talking with a farmer recently from
that State, he remarked that It was
common thing to hear events dated
from the year Of the wheat failure. II
was at the time thought to be tenn
porary affair, the result Of bad season,
drought and insects. but experience has
shown that the diminution in the wheat
yield then experienced was due to more
serious causes, as it has continued ever
since This condition Of affairs is NOT
an unmixed evil. It makes impossible
the spendthriit extravaganza Of fertil-
ity which has marked Western farming
and has put the Eastern farmers at SO
great q disadvantage. The greatly
improved machinery for harvesting
grain crops has not only enabled West
ern farmers to exhaust their farms
moro rapidly, but has also obliged
farmers in the East to pursue the same
system. Less stock has been kept in
localities where grain can be grown, and
the deficiency in barnyard manure has
been made up by the purchase of com.
mercial fertilizers, good In themselves,
but not furnishing lasting manure for
the improvement of the soil. The un.
symmetrical character OF much modern
farming is shown by the smaller pro-
portion Of land devoted to grass and
hay. These do not give tho immediate
profit that grain crops do to average
farmers, but they are better for the per-
manence of the business. II a farm il
plowed every year, and the product
sold at low prices, as IL has been Of late
years, it is scarcely possible for the
farmer to avoid financial ruin The
fertility of his land, which is his CAPT
tai, is being exhausted. and when thai
iSgone he has no way to easily replace
it The best OF all restoratives Of fer.
tility Is clover. The farmer who sOw'
clover seed literally can hardly make
a mistake. On the great majority o
farms the distance from market is 81
great that clover hay does not pay Al
the comparatively low price it brings
to draw away. II fed on the farm i
makes a valuable manure, and at The
same time the hay crop is growing
the clover roots are deepening the sol
for future crops The farmer whC
grows clover largely can afford to try
the commercial fertilizers, for the clio
yer roots sasten the mineral fertility IL
the soil, instead of allowing it to be
come inert and worthless. America
