Will e riding in railroad car, try
ing to read a newspaper by the I'M
certain light of the lamp which was
suspended at tantalizing distance
from my eyes, says Taverner, in the
Boston Post, friend who sat next
to me said: "Taverner, old fellow,
don't spoil those critical optics of
yours by using that wretched apollo
gy for lamp, but suit yourself with
this" He whipped a tube out of
his pocket which he fastened to my
buttonhole, and before | could see
what he was driving at bright light
illuminated the newspaper, (which had
been blurred by the devious rays
from the railroad lamp. '"That's
electricity" added my friend, with
seemingly superfuous frankness, and
he went on to show how the apparat-
us worked. 1t had a storage battery
for the motive power and reflector
to concentrate the light, and the en-
tire weight of the light was only one
and one-half pounds. L found the
light somewhat glazing at first, the
reflection from the newspaper daz-
zling my eyes, and the shadows cast,
giving a sort of dark-lantern gloom
to outlying objects. But this effect
soon wore off, and by adjusting the
the paper to the light it was easy for
me to read without experiencing any
inconvenience.

Revolt Against Cigarettes.

Society is beginning to rebel
against cigarette smoking, says the
New York Times. To do away with
cigarette smoking something more
fashionable must be devised to take
its place. One attempt was the
smoking of imported cigarettes, but
with the exception of the quality and
the fact that the imported cigarettes
cost ten times as much as the domes-
tic ones, there was no Improvement
1t is hard for man who has been ac-
customed to smoking cigarettes to
change to the smoking of cigars.
One of the great features of cigar
cite smoking is that their smoke is
inhaled. Cigar smoking is different
from cigarette smoking, and the man
who has been used to inhaling cigar
cite smoke cannot get the same
pleasure from the inhaling of cigar
smoke. Just as the odor of cigar
cites otfends most of the smokers of
good cigals, so the odor of good
cigar is most repellant to the habit
ual smoker of cigarettes.

Care of the Colt.

Remember that the colt in it's ply
steal construction is not unlike man,
and is subject to diseases arising
from the same causes, which result
often in chronic disorders. When a
moderate feed is given a sufficiency
of gastric juice is secreted for its
solution, digestion goes on rapidly,
the coats of the stomach retain their
usual healthy appearance, and after
an interval of rest, fresh supply of
juice is ready to be poured out when
required for the speedy digestion of
the succeeding meal But when fed
to excess the portion left unuisolved
begins to ferment, and by its physi-
cal and chemical properties acts as a
local iraitant, just as any foreign
matter would do, and produces an
infammatory action on the inner
coats of the stomach, which necessa-
rily inteferes with the secretion
thereby impairing the power of di-
gestion. One word now in favor of
the free use of the brush The lit
tie fellow will be shy for a few days,
which will induce many owners to
conclude that it is not good for the
colt, else he would stand still. Try
soft hair brush, night and morning,
rubbing well down to the hoofs, and
in less than week you will find the
colt likes it better than you do.
Kindness should be the breeders
stable motto. While the animal is
not so sensitive in mind and not so
susceptible to impression as man, yet
the influence of the mind on the vi
tai functions, or rather the power of
fear exercised on the animal economy
is subject of too great Importance
to be disregarded and ignored. Re
member then that kind treatment
pays better than abuse and neglect.
The natural even temper of dome site
animals rises in rebellion to the wick
ed abuse of man, and is only soothed
by gentleness, as the waves of the
ocean rise in proportion to the vio-
lence of the winds, and sink with the
breeze into mildness and serenity.

many, France, Sweden, Norway,
Japan and China get this money that
should remain in the United States.
Some people talk about poultry bust
ness being overdone; does this prove
it? We must educate our farmers to
attending to their poultry and their
m arkets. If New York or Chicago,
for example, pays twenty-five cents
a dozen, the home market only fif-
teen cents, the place to sell is where
the better prices are obtained. We
must have egg raisers here is where
the deficiency lies, not so much in
poultry raising, yet there is room for
this too We can decrease the for
eign supply in this way. Eggs are
as staple as milk. If it pays the
dairyman TO keep COWS for milk why
not to keep hens for eggs. This
matter needs careful thought by our
farmers.

The Bright Side.

Ifone looks upon the bright side
1t is TO be the right side,-
At least, that's how 1 found 1t as I've Journeys
through each day;
And its queer how shadows vanish,
And how easy tits to Danish
From bright side sort of nature every dolefu
thing away.
There are two sides to a question:
As we know. So the suggestion
ofthe side that holds the sunlight seems most rea
sonabIe to me;
And you know, we can't be merry
And make our surroundings CHEEKY,
five will persist in eoddling every gloomy thing
There's a sensible quotation
Which will itin any station
We all know it,-"As the twig is bent, so is the
tree inclined"
And the twigs of Thought we're bending,
Tito ways Of gloom we're tending,
Will be pretty sure to twist dwarf and quite de-
form the mind.
There's a way of searching over
The wide skies till we discover
Whether storms are on the way or the weather that
we love;
And the blue may fast be hiding
Back of clouds which swift are riding,
Yet we know the blue shining still and spreading
far above.
And, while that will last forever
(For the true blue fldeth never),
The dark clouds must later be dispersed
and fade away;
And the sweet ''bright side'' still shining
Will meet the eyes inclining
Tn watch for il and welcome it, however dark the
day.
So, my friends, let's choose the bright side,
just the happy, glorious right side,
Which shall give health and spirits just as long
as life shall last;
And the SORROWS that roll DER us
Shall not always 60 before US,
five keep Il watch for blue skies, and will hold its
sunshine fast

The Household Finances.

Is a man to regard his wife, on the
business side, as a partner or salar-
led employee or mendicant? For it
must be one or the other. Perhaps
she is regarded as a partner in the
domestic firm, having the same right
to draw her share of its profits as the
other partner, even if he keep the
books, and has the money pass
through bis hands. 1t is very com
mon thing in firms for one partner to
do the selling, or the manufacturing,
or whatever it is, while the other acts
as treasurer and cashier. But the
| latter does not for that reason claim
any superiority over his associate.
He does not, merely because the
money passes through his hands, talk
of giving his partner what he pays
him; he knows that the money be-
to his partner as much as to him.
This is surely the way in which the
marriage partnership ought to be
viewed, on the business side. In the
great majority of cases the wife works
as hard as the husband, though in
different way. Her management of /
the household and the children, if |
properly done, is usually to be set
against his work at his place of bust
ness it is equally essential to the
marriage partnership, and though the
money passes through his hands, she
has really as much right to it as he.
no children, and lives at a hotel or
boarding house, and simply spends
the husbands money, while doing lit
tie in return, it is less of grievance
to talk of his ''giving" her money.
Even then perhaps they live in this
way by his desire. There are such
cases, no doubt, just as there are
at the other extreme, where the wife
actually earns, or OWNS, the money,
and the husband merely spends it.
But neither of these is the normal
state of things the normal condition
is for the wife to be as hard worked
at home as is her hus band abroad,
and in this case it is air to regard it
as an equal partnership, in which both
partners have right to share the
profits, and there is no "giving"
about it.
| am satisfied that if there could
come sudden revelation of all hearts
we should be astounded at the amount
of soreness and chatting and secret
which exists beneath a
multitude of roofs in the hearts of
seemingly happy wives, and which
could be instantly removed by the GER
tainty of even q small income which
they could call their own. Either
the wife should be in the domestic
establishment a recognized partner,
with the rights of partner, or she
should be a salaried officer, with the
rights which that implies. In no case
should she be a mendicant. One of
best wives and mothers | ever knew
once said to me that she should new
er consent to the marriage of her
daughters without perfectly def
mite understanding that whatever
money they were to have from their
husbands should be paid to them on l
definite days, as regularly as IL it
were a salary, without any applica-
ton on their part. ''No man can {
possibly understand" she said, show |
a sensitive woman shrinks from ask
ing for money. If l can help it my {
shall never have to ask for
it. "-HdrpeT's Bazaar.

Take it Now.

Ifyou are waiting for daY
In tine future far away
When, with gold enough to spare,
You will rest from toll and care,
And enjoyment find supreme,
Let me tell you-'tis n dream.
IfyOn're saving all for wealth
At the cost of life and health,
And the present you reject
For future you expect,
If your joys are yet to be
Pain, not pleasure, you will see.
If you are waiting to be old
Ere you take the good of gold
And enjoy your rightful due
of life's pleasures, sweet and true
You viii find, alas, too late,
VToful disappointment great.
Live life's journey by the way;
While the sun shines make your hay;
NOw-now only you are sure
OF the pleasures that endure,
Pleasures that make memory bright,
When life's noon has turned to night
o, the heart grows hard and cold
Piling up the yellow gold,
Throwing present good away,
Dreaming that future day
Never coming may bestow
joys you now or never know.
Wait not till life is spent
Ere you know its sweet content;
Take its pleasures good and true,
While they still belong to You.
Then upon a future day,
They, and more, with you will stay.

The true economy of human life
adjusts expenditure to moral scale
of values. A certain writer pict-
lures woman sailing over the wa
ter, awakening out of sleep to find
her necklace united and one end
hanging over into the stream, while
pearl after pearl drops from the
string beyond recovery. Our days
drop one after another by our care
lessness like pearls from a string, as
we sail the sea of life, until we learn
that the waste of time is more Sc
rious loss than the extravaganza
against which there is such loud ac-
claim. The expenditure of a few
shIllings on taste is small matter
in comparison with the wasting of
months and years by thousands who
have every advantage society can Of
fer, and exact every privilege it af-
fords as a right.

The Way To sharpen "a Pencil.

1T really makes me tired 10 see the average
man sharpen a pencil, said an old newspaper
man in stationary store Yesterday He
will cut his fingers, cover them with dirt and
blacken them with lead dust aud still will not
sharpen the pencil.
There Is but one way 10 sharpen lead
pencil, and that is 10 grasp II firmly with the
point from you and not toward you. Take
your knife in the other hand and whittle
away as though you had lots of pencils 10
waste. BY following these directions and
turning the pencil over YOU will soon have
it neatly and regularly sharpened, and your
fingers will be unSoiled and you will not need
any court plaster TO put on the wounds, be-
cause YOU cannot cut your fingers when whit
tling from them,
"This method is the best, whether the knife
is dull or sharp II the pencil is soft one,
there is no sense in sharpening the lead
Simply cut away the wood, aud in writing
turn the pencil over, thus writing with the
sides Of the lead.
Another disgusting aud senselcss habit is
in placing the pencil in the mouth when writ
ing. This IL relic of the days when pencils
were all rs hard as flint and before the manu-
facturers were able 10 produce the smooth
soft pencils that are used today. This con-
tinual dampenins of the lead will harden
even a good graphite pencil and make IL hard
and gritty. II is simply habit anyway,
and most habits are bad ones Philadelphia

She Cost Her weight I'm Gold.

Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexican lady
who recently died at American Flag, in the
Santa Catalina mountains, Arizona, was,
perhaps, the only woman in the world who
ever cost her husband her weight i'm gold. In
the early gold digging days Of California she
was resident of Sonora, Mexico, in which
state she was born and grew 10 womanhood.
When about II years of age paternal uncle,
but n few years her senior, returned gold
laden from the newly discovered mines and
soon fell desperately in love with his niece.
He sought her hand in marriage aud was
accepted, but the church refused, on account
of the near relationship of the pair, to
solemnize the marriage. Persuasion being
in vain he tried the power Of gold TO win the
church his way, and succeeded only 10y pay
ment Of her weight in gold. She at that time
weighed III pounds, and against her in the
scales the glittering dust was shoyeled. The
husband still had sufficient Of this worlds
goods TO provide a good honest. Louis
