HOmley Philosophy.

Fretting cures no evil. it is true,
but it sometimes relieves the monot-
ony OF too much happiness.
1t is advisable to put our heart in
to whatever work we NAV have to
perform, but it is wise to think well
before we put our money in.
When q person becomes to good to
overlook the faults of the unfortu-
nate, then it is he that makes the
error which loses to him the glory
of his goodness.
Decisions are the natural conse-
quences of ignorance. A lack of
knowledge of a thing necessitates the
invention of a theory to account for
it's being.
The chronically unhappy man,
who persists in trying to sour hui
manity, should get him to his closet
with his woes, and give the sunshine
chance to warm his neighbors.
A man with a red nose is always
suspected of men. He may also be
wronged of men, for it may be that
he is, instead of a heavy drinker, q
sufferer from some painful malady.
When you see IL person trying to
play the fool, and you hear it remark
ell of him that he is fool, you may
take it as an evidence that he was
created for the part.
One strong, well directed blow
sends the nail truer to its home than
do n dozen coaxing taps. One fit
and earnest word carries more weight
than does whole yard ofhigh flown
eloquence.
The trouble with people nowadays
Is they give much attention 10 the ex-
terror, to the detriment of the inte-
rlor. They think more of the sack
than they do of the grain. The con-
sequence is there is much poor grain
parading in fine sacks.
When tossed on the angry waves
of sea of trouble a good motto is:
Never give up the ship" But when
the ship manitests a tendency to sink,
1t is wise move to swim out and
not go down with the wreck.
Never rose without thorn is
an axiom possessing much truth. 1t
follows, then, that the thorns were
created for the purpose of protecting
the treasures OF the bush. So do we
often find in human life that beauties
of the heart and mind are preserved
by the thorns of unshapely bodies,
unbeautiful faces or lack of wealth.

Goal In tho Northwest.

In the Canadian northwest there are
immense coal fields. The coal bearing
area is estimated at $4,000 square
miles. and the quantity of fuel UNDER
lying at 1880, 900 TO 1900, 900 tons per
square mile. There is Ignite in the
Souris country in Manitoba, not far
from the United States boundary.
Farther west the true bituminous is
struck at the Gait mines, near tho
Rockies and near the United States
line. All along the Canadian Pacific
railway there is more or less coal, but
the outerop is particularly noticeable
as the Rocky Mountains are approach
ed from the east. All the coal sup
piled to the Canadian Pacific at Bran
don and points west is exclusively the
product OF Cananda. As already stat
ed anthracite is found in unlimited
quantity in the heart OF the Rockies,
anu this coal field is so much nearer
California, Oregon, Washington Terri
tory, etc, than any United States
anthracite coal field, the chances are
in favor OF its proprietors finding an
unlimited demand among the millions
on the Pacific coast. When Vancouver
Island is reached. here is another coal
field of unlimited extent.

Selling Cattle by Weight.

A writer in Mark Lane Express Sc
verely desprecates the custom in
vogue in England with buyers and
sellers in estimating cattle, or buy
ing by the head instead Of by actual
ascertained weight. By this system
he believes farmers are cheated and
robbed of much of the profits in
raising cattle, and advises them to
supply themselves with weighing ma
chimes of their own, so long as
butchers and statesmen remain averse
co buying by weight. There can be
no doubt that in such cases the
farmer is at a great disadvantage
with buyers, whose opportunities for
determining the dead weight of living
animals are so much better from the
nature of their occupation, and the
wonder is that English farmers
should have submitted to such q
practice so long.
Much of this business of buying by
the head, says the agricultural
editor OF The World, has
bOVh dOlt Ill lIlIS country,
and. it is scarcely to be doubted
quite generally to the farmers dis
advantage; but of late years the sys-
tenn OF selling at actual weight has
been growing in favor, and cattle
scales are now so cheap as to have
become common in towns, as we'll as
on stock farms, so that there is no
longer any necessity for the element
of chance in the buying and selling of
stock as it is picked up through the
country by butchers or shippers No
good reason can be given why FORM
er should sell bullock on an estim-
alton of its weight that would not
apply with equal force to the buyer
after the meat was dressed. 1t is
true that the percentage of dead
weight varies considerably in differ
emit animals according to breed and
feeding. but an accurate knowledge
OF the live weight is an important
factor in determining the value ofthe
animal before it has been slaughter
ed.

The white hands bore no rings.
The body, slender and elegant, APP
peared to be that of a young man.
1t was an impenetrable corpse,
resolved to guard its secret. The
count questioned the motionless
lips of his wife, which must have so
often letpass the name of the beloved
they remained mute. In frenzied
prayer, broken by blasphemies, he
called on God to deliver up to him,
on the instant, the abhored name.
God answered not. Only on the
wall overhead, the turtle-dove cooed
in it's gilded cage. Ali if the bird of
love could only speak.
Then after passing his hand across
his brow, the count, moving
mechanically, stopped down and
placed one knee on his wife's breast,
and, holding her thus, endeavored to
separate her from this mans body
this body on which Love and Death
had crucified her. 1t was a long and
difficult task. As well try to I'M
Irvine serpents or to tear away the
ivy from the trunk of the ancient
oak.
At last the rigid arms relaxed on
either side, and the outraged hus-
band, putting an end to this odious
embrace, repossessed himself of the
body OF his wife, which the corpse of
the lover had still disputed with him.
Then he sat down between them, like
Judge, and awaited the day.
In the early dawn, with the aid of
some peasants, he buried his wife
under the shadow of little fig-tree,
in garden close at hand. The re-
mainder of the day he walked the isl
and. stopping the soldiers, the
worSmen, every one whom he met,
and led them up to the corpse. He
showed every sign of the most pro-
found grief. He believed, he said,
that he had found the body ola dear
friend, but he was not absolutely sure,
and he offered twenty thousand scudi
to the person who could tell him with
certainty the name of the dead man.
In spite of the enormouss sum, no one
could identify thebody The counthad
1t inferred separately, at his own ex-
pense, in a corner of the Cassamicci-
ola Cemetery.
Since then, he searches ceaselessly
for this name-which he condemned
never to Knowles jealous of the
man who, living, stole from his wifes
heart, that of the mysterious corpse
which had so insolently duped him.

l have just finished oiling not only the
rims, but the entire woodwork of a
two-horse farm wagon. 1t is as
tonishing how much oil the rims will
absorb in a hot, dry time. AS fast as

the oil disappears, and when a piece
of sappy wood is met with it takes up
oil like u sponge. l think linseed
Oil better than petroleum, but the ex-
pense is too great to use it as freely as
It ought to be used. 1t is no use adj
vising farmers to pay 60c or zoe per
gallon for linseed oil and soak the
woodwork OF their wagons aud imple-
ments with it; when they see the oil
going into the wood so rapidly they
will stay their hands and say: BE

fore the wood is filled. You can't do

Crude petroleum is easily applied
and cheap; mine cost SIC per gallon

cheapness will cause it to be used

The Fascination Of Niagara.

"Never," said an old resident OF the
village, ''have l known of so many
people going over the falls as during
the past six months" During that
time some eight or nine persons have
been known to pass over, three of
which have been deliberate suicides.
1t is source of wonder TO many peo-
pie living here why persons will come
from distance to Niagara appar-
emily to commit suicide.
The press dispatch sent out from
Binghamton under the impression
that the last suicide was Miss Mead,
OF that place, says that the young
lady visited the place n short time
ago and has been strangely fascin-
ated with Niagara ever since" 1t is q
well known fact that scarcely any
two persons have the same impression
when first looking upon the rapids or
tails. Only few evenings since your
correspondent heard Clergyman in q
neighboring city make this remark:
Il never look upon Niagara above the
falls but that there is a strong desire
to get into the water, lie down and
go with it. | have no thought of
suicide, but it always seems to me as
fit would be pleasant to go with the
water.
A lady from Rhode Island was max
ing her first visit to Niagara. and
was standing on one of the Sister ISL
and bridges looking into the rapids
underneath. She hurriedly took the
arm of her companion and asked to
leave the spot. Upon reaching the
center of Goat Island she sank upon
a seat, seemingly exhausted and very
nervous. When asked the cause, SHE
said: II don't know what came over
me, but if | had stood on the bridge
another moment nothing could have
prevented me jumping into the rap
ids"
"Why," said her friend, edo you
wish to commit suicide?"
God forbidp said she. "It was
the furthest thought, but there was
an impulse which Icould not control,
and do not think | would dare live
at Niagara"

Fanny Davenport Settled Him,

While Fanny Davenport was play
ing an engagement here, recently, a
young man who was a clerk at the
Union Depot Hotel, after a rather
lively printing with the boys went to
the Opera House. He was a good
looking fellow with "a black mustache,
and the figure he cut that night was
given color by his new light over
coat and high silk hat. By the time
he reached the theatre it was pretty
full; SO was he. But he bought a
ticket for parquet seat right down
front, and with tolerably steady steps
he made his way to it. 1t was in the
middle of n scene. What the play
was don, tremember. As he reached
the seat and was divesting himself of
his loud overcoat, Fanny Davenport
came down the stage to the footlights
and said to the villain, who was
counting her, but with her eyes to the
audience: 81 Gull never love theep'
She said it with great emphasis,
and the handsome hotel clerk rose
from his seat, took his hat and over
coat, and saying in u loud voice,
swell that settles itl' retraced' his
steps up the aisle, while the audience
burst into roar of laughter and
applause PittsDurgh Dispatch.
