CARE OF TooLs.-Tools and
implements are damaged more BY
rust and exposure to alternate rain
and sunshine than by actual usage.
Rain and dew will rust the bright
journal bearings of farm imple-
ments on one side, perhaps, rem
dering that side rough. Then that
"cut'' or wear away; and as soon
as one side of journal begins to
wear it will wear faster and faster
until the bearing is damaged beyond
repair, requiring the substitution Of
a new journal. Rain and dew will
expand the woodwork of imple-
ments, and soften the grain of the
surface, after which the heat of the
sun will dry and crack the wood,
making numerous small assures for
water to enter: Plow handles and
many other parts of implements
that have been bent after they have
been exposed to the influences Of
rain and sunshine lose their desired
form and shape. Shovel handles,
scythe snaths, cradle fingers and
some other bent portion OF hand
tools and horse implements are
often ruined by exposure to storms
and sunshine. Let it be an infiex-
ible rule of the farm that tools and
implements must not be left out.
doors, exposed to the damaging
influences of wet and dry weather.
Let every helper understand that he
must clean hoes, shovels and spades,
wipe the blades dry, and put them
under shelter as soon as they are
not in actual use. A man will &C.
complish just as much per day if he
is required to clean his tools and
pat them in a dry piaeA as he -iil
to throw them down where they
were used last, covered with dirt,
and exposed to the weather.

| A FRAUDULENT CLAIM.-The
world owes no man q living. He
who gets living from the world
without giving something in re-
turn for it is cheat and fraud,
and is not a whit better than the
three-card monte man. The theo-
ry that the world owes q man n liy-
ing, If pursued to its legitimate re-
suits, leads to the penitentiary.
Thus its advocates, in one way.

do not. sooner meet the hangman.
end ahallnatesasre eqsies sh-~-~'.
In this world all must work.
Here below work is the common
heritage Of man. All who fill their
destiny manfully and honorably,
labor. The penitentiaries are full
Of people who started out in life,
believing the world owed them a
living. Following that theory, they
have found, too late, that the path
led directly to the gallows or to the
State prison.
Mark well the young man who
starting out in life, asserts that the
world owes him a living. Upon
what principle Of justice can he
base his claim !? in what manner
has the world become so greatly his
debtor? Really, all he does
imply is this: He believes himself
smart enough to defraud the world
of q living, and he acts upon that
theory. He despises his slow-going
but honest schoelmate or associate
Of earlier years, who frankly admits
that the world owes him nothing,
but who, in all probability, will
cheerfully give to the world far
more than he receives from it in re-
turn. The apparent smartness of
the first leads to ignominy and suf-
fering. The apparent dullness of
the other in permitting the world
to obtain from him more than it
gives in return leads to an honor
of his fellow-men, and 1t Is not I'M
probable that the world at last dis
covers the debt it owes him. and
pays him back with interest COM

"smart Aleck" who believes the
world owes you living which you
are determined to fraudulently get,
and be caught at your tricks, or the
other who honestly admits that the
world owes him nothing, but hon
estly and nanfully proclaims his
intention to pay for all he receives?

In an old parish church in Scot
land the minister was very deaf.
One Sunday the precentor had to
give out the intimations in the fol-
lowing order: new hymn books,
baptisms, and other minor matters.
But the precentor commenced with
the baptism first saying: There
win be q public baptism here next
Sunday, and parents will give in
their names during the week. The
minister, thinking he was intimat-
ing about the hymn books, said:
And parents who have not got them
win kindly come to the vestry after
this service. Small ones, Id; large

A HEAD.
The Advantage of PRESENCE Of Mind In an
EmeroencY.

The Advantage of PrsseHcs Of Mind In an
Emergency.
During the late strike On the New YORK
Central Railroad, the militia were ordered
to be i'd readiness in case of a riot, but they
were not called out.
In an interview Gov. Hill said the troops
were not to be called upon except In case OF
an emergency. The emergency had NOS
arisen, therefore they would not be ordered
ut. He remarked that this was the first
great strike with which he had had expert
ence, and he did not propose to lose his head;
the only point at which there had been serious
trouble was at Syracuse, and there a deputy
Sheriff had lost his head and precipitated an
encounter
The strike continued several weeks and
there was riotous action at various points
along the road, but the civil authorities were
able to cope with it without calling on the
militia.
The test of a mans real ability comes when
an emergency arises which makes q hasty
call on his good judgment and discretion.
The man who retains his presence OF mind,
retains his equipoise and exercises sound
discretion at such critical junctures is to be
relied on and will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the staying
qualities which do not falter in the face Of
danger. Otis A. Cole, of Kinsman, O., june
10, 1890, writes: ''In the fall of 1888 | was
feeling very ill. 1consulted a doctor n he
said had Bright's disease of the kidneys and
that he would not stand in my shoes for the
State of Ohio" But he did not lose courage
or giveup; he says: II saw the testimonial
of Mr.. John Coleman, 100 Gregory ST., New
Haven, Conn, and l wrote to him. In due
time 1 received an answer, stating that the
testimonial that he gave was genuine and not
overdrawn in any particular. l took good
many bottles of Warmers Safe Cure; have
not taken any for one year"
Gov. Hill is accounted a very successful
man: he is cool and calculating and belongs
to the class that donot lose their heads when
emergencies arise.

ITALY NERVOUS.
SHE is ANXIOUS TO HEAR FROM
OUR UNCLE SAMUEL.
If No Reply Comes by Wednesday She
Proposes to take Her Playthinss
and 60 Home.

ROVE, April 1.-THE principal topic of
conversation to-day in political official cir
Giles has been the latest report put in circu-
lation last evening to the effect that unless
the American government made a very
speedy reply to Premier di Rudini's last
note Minister Porter would be politely re-
Quested to leave Rome and the Italian
leT1tion would be recalled from Wash
ington.
Geleral interest in the New Orleans af-
fair had subsidized, and everybody supposed
that the incident would be settled through
the usual diplomatic channels without fur
Their irritation or friction.
Last nights report, therefore cana with
startling suddenness. 1t seemed to indi-
cate, if it should prove well founded, that
the Italian cabinet was again dissatisfied
with the progress of correspondence with
Secretary Blaine, and proposed to demand
that the United States government should
act in the matter with greater promptitude.
Such attitude on the part of the Italian
government seemed so unreasonable in view
OF all recent developments that last nights
report was at first generally discredited.
Many OF the newspapers, however to-
day gave 1t conspicuous prominence in their
columns, and asserted their belief that it
was substantially correct. They say that
America is TO be allowed until next Tues
day, April IA, to reply to the last Italian
note.
The original report has fixed to-day as
the limit.
If by Tuesday no reply is forthcoming
from Secretary Blaine, then, the papers de-
clare, diplomatic Cancellation between the
two countries is to be wholly suspended.
As q result of the newspapers assertions
the report this evening is not so summarily
dismissed as yesterday. Many who at first
secuted it as utterly without foundation are
now inclined to think that &c NAV have
assertion and various policies are elated.
The original source OF the report seems to
give it increased plausibility. This is
member Of the chamber Of deputies, who is
an ardent supporter Of Marquis di Rudini,
and who is believed to share his confidence
Whether or not the premier has actually
decided upon the extreme course in
Dictated, it Is unquestionable that
this course is under discussion in
the high government circles, and
meets with favorable comment. 1t may
be that the deputy who started the report
supposed that the decision had been reached
when the subject was really only being
considered, and it may be that the report
was given out to test public opinion be-
fore the cabinet should commit itself alb
soiutely to SO grave step.
A dispatch from America states that Sec
rotary Blaine has already prepared his
answer, and it is thought likely that he has
already sent il to Rome instead Of through
Marquis Imperiai. II that be the case, he
must have dispatched it by post, as it is
certain no reply has yet been received.
