In days when youthful hopes were bright
And means were small and slender;
When summers heat and winters cold

When friendships dear brought welcome cheer,
When evening lamps shone brightly;
When At the fading hours each day
The old clock in the corner licked away
When the old clock licked in the corner.

With blessings new each morning.

Whi'e the pendulum swings to left and right

Then let us forward look with faith
In planning future duties:
Let's sc k ont pleasant walks and ways,

Along the way before us:

there was some one capable Of meeting
it. While everybody else were wiring
ing their hands in helpless agony, one
man, who under ordinary circumstances
would not attract special attention,
was cool and collected. While the
other passengers told the mother to
pound the child on the back, shake it,
stand it on its head, and other nom
sensical things, he told her to calmly
wait minute and all would be right.
Taking piece of string from his left
hand vest pocket he attached it to a but
ton-hole, which he inserted in the child's
mouth and induced it TO swallow it.
There was n composed look on the
mans face that seemed to assure the
rest of us that he knew what he was
about, and he certainly did, for when
he pulled the string ard brought that
button-hole to our view again there was
the button in it. sure enough. In y few
minutes everybody was laughing a.:,i

he could paint a spider on my bald spot
that would look SO natural the flies

you like. hut it fooled the flies every

for my head, but just as they We're
about to settle down they would see the
spider and dart away in the widest
alarm. But for all that the scheme was
not a success. for while it fooled the
flies il also fooled other people. Everv
time I'd remove my bat everybody
would he slapping my head with all
their might trying to kill that awful
spider before it had time to bite me.
When I'd lift my hat to ladies on the

A new factor is entering the paper
makers market. 1t has been proved
that the banana plant contains great
er quantity of pure fiber than any other
of the numerous vegetable products
used for the manufacture of paper.
During the first twelve months of its
vegetation the plant only produces a
single bunch of fruit. after which it
dies; but from its roots four to ten
young plants spring up. The adapta-
ton of the plant to commercial purposes
will, it is anticipated. rcvolutionize
the paper material market, and largely
affect the industry. The plant is easy
of cultivation, and has long since been

REGARDING RAILROADS


TIE longest railroad Is tho Canadian

The railroad cara which traverse Man

enormous number Of over four hundred
million Of passengers who paid five-eent
fares.
A CORRESPONDENT Of q railroad publ
cation has found that out Of more than
four hundred railroad accidents in the
United States in 1890 over fifty per cent.
were caused by drunkenness, disobedi-
ence of plain orders or the most reckless
carelessness.
The Great Western Argentine rail
road is about to try an experiment Of
burning crude petroleum in its engines
It has contracted with Mendoza COM

No one doubts that DR.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether tho
disease be recent or Of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith IN It
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but "on cal" in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DR.. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk Of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the riskl
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist 50 cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500
you'll get something better

the diseased portion Of the car. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by I'm infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition

THE DAIRY.

When feeding for test, the food
thould be increased very gradually. A
month is not too long to wait for results.
If too rapid increase is made, it is al
most certain to cause indigestion, of
which the least bad effect is waste of
food.
Keep up an intimate acquaintance
with the calves. Keep them clean and
treat them kindly. Teach them to lead
readily with a rope. The lesson now
given will never be forgotten, and will
prove very useful when the animals are
matured.-American Dairymen.
because COW is pure bred is no
reason to suppose that she is absolutely
a profitable cow. There are many pure
breed cows that are not worth pinch
of snuff in the dairy. Individual merit
should always be sought as well as
purity of breeding.-Western Rural
No dairyman should purchase ready
grain fed. He may not be deceived, but
it is one chance out of many that he will
not. The waste of the oatmeal mills,
the bulls only. are largely used for mix
ing in ground feed, and the rest consists
mostly of the poorest corn and mill
screenings. The very best is the cheap
est in buying feed.-Practical Farmer.
Animals should always be allowed
to have as much salt as they want The
old practice of sailing once a week is a
bad one. for animals will often get too
much. They need it is much as they do
food and drink and dairy cows that
have it constantly before them will
shrink at once in their milk it it is taken
away. The simplest and cheapest way
of giving animals what they require i;
to have rock salt where they can have
free access to it.
The value of the thermometer in
the milk room is too little appreciated
This is forcibly shown by the investiga-
tons of Professor Henry with regard to
the proper temperature in setting milk
He reports that milk set at 400 for
eleven hours threw up all but ~ 100 of
one per cent. while milk at ~ left 81
per cent. of butter in the skim-milk.
Setting at 80 : as compared with 10
showed a loss of from 3.S to ten per
cent. and 50 : showed that the range of
loss is from $50 to 0per cent. over that
set at n Guessing at the tempera-
ture would not enable one to take ad.
vantage of such results as these.

ABOUT THE APiARY.

NOTHING can detract more from our
crop of comb honey than to have our
bees get the swarlning fever during the
honey harvest unless it is having them
30 weak at the time that they are Of
little or no value.
In locating an apiary avoid the close
proximity of laurel thickets rs honey
gathered from the laurel is unwhole-
some, if not really poisonous; avoid the
neighborhood of cider-mills, and do not
locate Immediately near a large body Of
water, as it will confine your bee-rauge

Niagara wearing Away.

From the report of the State Engineer
Of New York it is learned that Niagara
Falls are receding about two feet every
year. The first accurate survey was
made in 1912, and since that the total
recession amounts to more than one
hundred feet. This is not strange, con-
sidering that two hundred and seventy
thousand cubic feet of water pass over
the falls every second, or over sixteen
million cubic feet per minute.
