WORKING TO ADVANTAGE.

Labor Can BE Lightened BY Mixing II
With Brains.
Every man can not do the higher
grades OF mental labor, and the hard
mental tasks of the world must be per.
formed by somebody. y # =.
Men and women whose lot has been
cast among the hard manual laborers OF
the world should remember that their
tasks can be UNNECESSARILY ightened by
mixing them with thought. Study out
new and easier methods of performing
the old tasks. Plan, contrive and ex.
pertinent. Thought applied to labor
makes your work an art. 1t leads, too.
to more expeditions methods. -,
Forty years ago, every farmer raked
his hay with small mandrake, poking
1t together much as he drew up the soil
with a hoe around hill OF pototoes.
Some one, who mixed brains with his
work, got theory in his head that the
hay could be gathered together easier
with large rake dragged behind the
worker on the ground. Hence bigge,
rake was suggested, which performed
the work nearly four times as fast as the
old method. 1t did the work so easily
that the rake was called ''loafer.''
Soon it was suggested to somebody,
who mixed brains with his work and
made an art of labor, that if man could
drag big rake to advantage. a horse
could drag a bigger one. In this way
the first horse rake was evolved. A
man walked behind and managed the
rake. and boy rode and guided the
horse.
i But there was still further opportuni.
ty for the man who mixed brains with
his work to tighten his task, and conse
quently make his work still more pleas
ant. Why not dispense with the boy
he reasoned, and why should have thi:
laborious trouble of walking around be-
hind the horse and turning over the
rake? I will put this thing ON wheels
fasten seat astride tho wheels, and
ride about my field and take my ease
and, at the same time, rake my hay.
1t was in this way that the modern
horse-rake was evolved. In the same
manner all great inventions have beer
brought about by men who mix brain,
with their work.-Yankee Blade

Madge, in the midst of her momentary

A rare race we of the beggar band
Hurrah for our goodly number!
We roam the roads OF the open land,
We ply our plant as VIC onward plcd;
IAN alms, sweet sir, for the love OF God.-
Our grip, the trick of an upturned hand;
Our shibboleth.
But pleading breath;
A trembling lip, and dear demand
Hurrah for the world We cumberi
\ lean lot We of the beggar CLAM
Hurrah for the thirsts that thin usl
We've been afoot since the world began,
One yearns for gold, and one Graves for name
one starVcs for art, and one longs for tame;
And not the least OF the caravan
Faint at the start
From a hungry heart,
but struggle on as beseems man.
Hurrah for the wants within US!
A proud crowd VIC Of the beggar tribe
Hurrah for each tear and latter!
We scorn the squalor our rags describe
But fain would fashion by fafrer men
To hide our need from our neighbours ken.
We fear his tiout, and We loathe his gibe.
Wen bear our pain,
But we will not dejgn
10 win wealth with our tears as bribe
Hurrah! what do heart breaks matterl
queer crow VIC Of the beggar kin
Hurrah for us all together!
We love and hate, and we strive and sin;
We stumble oft on the stony ways,
Like children child for their skyward gaze;
But up again and our tramp begin,
Through sun and rain,
And through Joy and PAIN
With the hope Of Heaven we all may win.
Hurrah for the storms we weather.

Madge, fifteen years old, had been
his housekeeper since her mother had

She had never had brothers and sisters,

During his absence Madge occupied
herself in various ways. Much of her
time was spent in making their little
cabin of two rooms wonderfully neat and
clean.

AN EARNEST REBUkE.
Temperance Finds an Awful Opponent

MI2mmOD.
Rev. DR.. Blaikie, of Edinburgh in 6
letter to the New York Observer, says:
"Apropos of mortality bills, it is now
a well-ascertalned fact that of late
years our population has been much
more healthy. The greatly-increased
attention to the sanitary condition OF
large towns has caused a decided i'm
provement. The rapid growth of total
abstinence is doubtless another cause
OF the change. But Temperance finds
an awful opponent in mammon. The
practice OF turning big breweries into
joint-stock companies has become very
general, and great dividends are always
promised. The shareholders are, for
the most part, persons who take no in.
terest in the Temperance cause, but II
Is painful and humiliating fact that,
In the lists of proprietors, there are to
be found the names of few pro-
fessedly Christian men and even elders
in our churches This can only be &C.
counted for by the fact that, being con.
versant solely with their own business
concerns, these men are ignorant of the
ravages cf intemperance among US, O.,
at least un:mpressed by them. If only
they would pay visit to our police
cells, or traverse our miserable slums
with the city missionary, or inquire OF
the jailer how he gets his customers, OF
investigate the natural history of our
iunatic asylums, surely their con.
sciences would be reused. I have some
consideration for men who have sue
ceeded respectable fathers in breweries,
or as wine merchants at a time when
the ravages of the drink traffic excited
no attention; but for those who volun.
tarlly make themselves responsible for
the traffic now, what can one saw"
