itself ridiculous by requesting Virginia's rep.

JUST AND TRUE.

The declaration of purposes of
the Farmers Alliance is just and
true. 1t declares in favor of all, but
special privileges to none. They
favor education, morality and tenn
perance. They oppose ignorance,
vice and drunkenness. They be-
lieve in honesty, industry and econo-
my, and oppose fraud, corruption
and Incidence and extravaganza.
Their motto, as set forth in their
declaration of purposes, is 1.-The
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber."
But, say some, they do not follow
these directions; they do not live
up to these requirements. Doubt
less that is true in some instances.
but We are not now discussing the
manner of lives that men live, but
principles, declaration ofpurposes."
If we were to judge of purposes"
by what we see and hear in the life
OF men, then the matrimonial in
functions would be farce. Men
promise to "nourish love and cleave
unto her, and her alone" but many
do not do it.
In church men take the obliga-
ton, and promise Gin the presence
of the whole congregation, to re-
nounce the world, the flesh and the
devil" and to attend upon its or
dinances, and support its institu-
tons, and after all this, by con.
stant association with some men for
months, you could not know that
they are members of the church un-
less you ask the question direct.
Now men will not say that the
purposes of holy wcdlock are not
good, and of inestimable value to
society, and the world; neither will
they say that the church of God is a
humbug and a failure because it's
register contains the names of those
who are not true and are unfaithful.
We repeat it, we are not talking
about the inconsistent lives that
many lead, but about institutions,
purposes, ETC., and that where these
have for their aim the protection Of
society and the good of humanity,
they should be held in high regard
by the people, Willacoochee News.

Among the numerous reflections
which the thoughtful paragrapher
has contributed to the general infor-
nation On the subject of the propos-
ed eight hour law, is one that it will
never include in the number of its
benefciaries farmers, newspaper
men, or the women who do their own
house work. These three classes
will continue to work about nine
teen hours day.

Watch Your Health.

When you feel chilly and feverish,
take warning. An ounce of proven
tive is worth a pound of cure. A
dose or two of Smiths Tonic Syrup,
made by Dr.. John Bull, OF Louis
vile, KY, taken at this time may
ward off dangerous or probably
fatal illness. 1t has an immediate
beneficial effect upon the mucous
membrane and circulatory system.
Its timely use will frequently ward
off an attack of pneumonir. A slight
cold will be gone in the morning if
a dose of this remedy be taken at
night. 1t is truly household ne
cessity and no family can afford to
be without it. 1t tastes good and
children will ask for it. 1t is in
fact a great discovery, having all
the good effects of quinine and none
of its evil qualities. 1t is harmless
to the most delicate invalid and will
not derange the system. 1t is a
certain cure for chills and fever,
colds, influenza, Ia grippe and all
other effects of malarial influence.

"sAVING AT THE SPIGOT, WASTING
AT THE BUNG.o

/
AT THE BUNG..
Rich Naylon in Rural Home says:
This is just what thousands of farm
ers are doing to-day all over this
broad land. Because it costs time,
labor ard money to properly manage
piece OF land, it goes unmanured
and makes but half a crop. Fifty
or hundred dollars would put that
field in condition to make forty or
fifty bushels of corn per acre, but a
false economy stints the allowance
of fertilizer, and but fifteen bushels
per acre are made. Your cows do
not give half the milk they a,e cap
able of giving, because you want to
economist in the matter of feeding,
and in consequence get but little
milk and less butter proportionate-
ly. In order to save few dollars
your wagon and other farm imple-
ments go without shelter. You
save S25 dollars in ten years by
not building shed, but you lose
that much or more every year in
damages from exposure to sun and
rain.
The same sort of economy pre-
vents your building comfortable
quarters tor your horse, cattle, hogs
and sheep and you blame Providence
because OF your "bad luck" in rails
ing young animals. You tell your
wife you cannot afford to waste corn
tor feeding chickens, and then you
grumble because your neighbors
have plenty Of eggs all the year
round while you have scarcely any.
You have mo time to fool away on
a garden" and thus you deprive
yourself and family of the luxury of
vegetables.
You cannot afford to spend 81 or
50 year for good agricultural pa
pers, and wonder how it is your
more liberal and progressive neigh
bors catches on" to so many new
ideas in the matter of farm work.
Improved stock are away yonder
outside ofyour most distant expecta-
tons. 1t costs too much. In this
you are right. Any sort Of improv-
ed stock, farm implements, fruit
trees and new varieties of seed are
far too expensive to the man who
believes in saving at the spigot and
leaving the bung open.
You are the kind of farmer who
, cries loudest of ''hard times but
worse a. comin'!' You are the man
who finds most fault with the gov
eminent, and talk more than any
body else about 'hard luck" and
chad crops" Yes, you are well
known throughout the length and
breadth of the land. Your tribe is
still quite numerous, though, we
hope on the decrease.
Should your neighbor who takes
and pays for this paper think enough
of you to lend it to you with this
piece marked, [ trust it may have a
retormatory influence over you.
The first thing you do, subscribe
for this paper, read it carefully, and
as far as practicable, follow the adj
vice it gives you.
Live upon broader, more liberal
plane; study and practice true
economy, and remember that no
business can be carried on profita-
bly, except upon business principles.
Farming is no exception to this
rule, and true economy is not the
kind that looks at the little leak
while the big one is unnoticed. Re-
member that.

An officer of experience. writing on
the behavior of horses in battle, says:
When it comes to battle horse seems
to know everything that is going on;
but he does his duty nobly, and seems
to be in his element. He enters into
the spirit of the battle like a human
being. He shows no fear of death, and
it is singular that if his mate is shot
down he will turn to look at him and
seem pleased. A horse in my battery
was once struck by piece of shell,
which split his skull, so that one side
was loose. The driver turned him
loose, but he walked up by the side of
the gun and watched the firing, and
when a shot was fired would look away
in the direction Of the enemy, as if to
see the effect of the shot. When shell
would burst near by he would calmly
turn and look at il. When he saw his
own team going back for ammunition
he ran back to his own place and gal
loped back to the caisson with the
rest. When the Lieutenant pushed
him aside to put in another horse. he
looked at the other one sorrowfullv
while he was being harnessed up. and
when he seemed to realize that there
was no further use for him he lay
down and died. The Lieutenant strong
" asserted that he died of broken
heart. Court journal.

1t is very little thing to have no
waterback to a stove-so a man thinks,
but to wife-of-all-work it is-well,
there is no word strong enough to ex-
press the trouble it causes. A sink OF
a level. with cold water, is not an easy
thing to keep clean. Why not make a
little decline? Also bring the zine over

Steel Pens.

Nearly all the steel pens used in THE
country are manufactured here. though
20 years ago nearly all were imported.
Now only the highest priced ones are
imported. We use about 1000, 600
gross every year, which is not SO large
number as might appear, consider
ing that it represents fewer than three
pens apiece for all the inhabitants. As
many people who use them wear out a
gross (44 pens) or more in year, it
is evident that there must be great
many who never use a steel pen at all.
The pens are made of imported steel,
which is preferred because of its more
uniform quality. tits rolled into big
sheets and cut into strips, after which
it is annealed. rolled to the thickness
required, then tempered and cut and
stamped into pens. Mach skill is re-
quired in all these operations and in
those of finishing the pens for use. The
manufacture and trade in steel pens
has seen very little change for a gener-

Unexpected Good Luck Of Q TrampinR
Jour Printer.

Father Spaulding, who was mis-
sionary among the Nez Perces In
dians as early as 1889, when there
were not 500 white men west of the
Rocky Mountains tells the follow
ing story; He was located ut that
time near where the town of Lew
iston, Idaho, now stands. One day,
being down by the Clearwater river,
he Was surprised to hear white
man hail him from the other side Of
the stream. Upon inquiring vhat
he wanted, the stranger answered
that he was looking for a job Of
printing. The priest remembered
that there we're some printing RIA
terials among a lot of stores sent
up to him by way of the Sandwich
Islands, so he set the stranger to
work, and the result was Nez Per-
ces spelliug-book, which is still in
use among those Indians. The
printers name was McCready aud
he had drifted alone and on foot
into those far western wilds in
search of adventure.

The Policy Of WatchinEl Others.

Obviously the best thing to do
when one is in doubt about any
thing At a dinner party is to watch
the others. But there are 80 sasany
strange fixings-new ones, at all
events-to be found al the tables of
the rich in these days that the in
experienced may we'll be excused
feeling puzzled occasionally. A true
story is told of q Western Congress-
man from an agricultural district,
who found himself a guest, not long
ago, at dinner given by Cabinet
officer from his State. ...f
He discovered miniature silver
hayfork at the side of his plate, the
likenesses of which he saw the ether
people use for their oysters. He
did the same, and was so Tar all
right, helping himself to salt With
q very small gold spade provided
for the purpose. 1t reminded him
of the tool he had employed many
a time to dig potatoes with. save
for the metal. Of potatoes them
selves, mashed, he was presently
helped to portion, and he found
that his fellow-guests utilized an
instrument the like of which he
was also supplied with, to push the
vegetables upon their forks.
subsequently be learned that the
instrument was called a. "pusher,"
but at the time it seemed to bin
nothing more nor less than dimin-
utive hoe in the exac, shape of which
it was undeniably constructed.
But there was one utensil that
made him extremely nervous, mas
much as he could not imagine
for what purpose it was intended,
and he was carefully guarding him
self against possible faux pas.
For course after course he watched
his fellow guests to see when they
would bring the curious tool into
play. 1t was not, however, until
the asparagus came on that he saw
an eminent diplomat who sat oLpo-
site pick up the silver hay rake from
teaide his plate and employ it to
convey the vegetable to his mouth
We'll, I'm d-d!" calculated the
Congressman under his breath" So
that's what the thing is for! But

An Ideal Home.

My idea of good housekeeping il
where woman keeps her home sweet
aud orderly; provides simple, we'll
cooked food; makes her home so rest
full and cheerful that all who come into
it shall be better for breathing the at
mosphere of kindness and cheerfulness
that pervades the place; and where the
household machinery always runs
smoothly because of the constant
thoughttulness of the mistress of the
house. A place like this is truly a
home, and the woman who makes such
home deserves the respect and adj
miration of everybody. l have seen
sach homes among the rich and among
the poor, for neither wealth nor power
ty prevents the right person from fill
ing with the atmosphere of comfort
and happiness the house of which she
Is the mistress. Good Housekeeping.

There still stands at Paramua.

Burr eourted Esteile Provost, the
woman who became his wife. In
the days of this courtship Burr Was
accustomed to ride on horseback
from White Plains to Paramus,
taking in the Hudson River Ferry
on his way. The house is of rough
stone, with gothic peaks. A pie
turesque stile admits to the grounds.
Not far away is the couRt<y church
where Burr and Estelle Provost
were married. The graveyard has
many old headstoaes, with quaint
inscriptions and atrocious spelling.
