If looked at in the light OF the
usual school history the late rebel
lion never amounted to much any
how. 1 he Confederates never won
victory. But viewed from the
pension rolls the rebels disabled
more men than are usually found
lighting the battles of a country in
on ordinary war.

1T is a great 'yindication which
the American hog is getting on the
other side of the Atlantic just now.
France has concluded to admit him
aud Germany has sent an official
to this country to Investigate our
system of inspection with view to
removing the restrictions which
have so long stood between Ameri-
can pork aud the German table. Ii
looks as if in lit lie while the Ger
mans aud the French would be
feeding on American hog products
as of yore, and the hog industry
would be revived in this country TO
the extent that farmers could find
better use for their surplus corn
than its conversion into ashes.

The souvenir spoon craze seems
constantly to strengthen, and every
body should read an admirably il
Illustrated article on souvenir and
historical spoons in the August
number Of Peterson. The paper
gives much valuable information
and there are photographs of spoons
from Christendom to Turkey and
Morocco, some of them dating back
to b. gone centuries. Another at
tractive article is that on "a Fa-
nous japanese Painter and his
School," which contains a long
series of quaint and most delightful
Japanese drawings. There are
other capital papers on miscella
neous subjects, among which "Fhe
Folk Lore Of Colors," by Mrs.. K.
A. Matthews, deserves special men
ton. The stories and poems are
all excellent. The fashion and do

IT Is quite in keeping with the
customs of a military despotism
that some of the blue blooded Ger
man officers Of the emperor's suite
we're impertinent and offensive to
ladies when they CHANGED to meet
walking IN the street during the
late imperial visit to Winsdor. In q
country given over u the military
idea there is little respect for women
and German officers did not under
stand the fine independence aud
liberty enjoyed outdoors by English

Gems of Thought.

All that's great comes through work
and civilization is its product.
To an honest mind, the best perquis.
ties of a place are the advantages II
gives man of doing good.
Great results cannot be achieved al
once and we must be satisfied to adj.
vance in life as we walk, step by step
Never attempt more than you can do
he who attempts everything he can dc
often attempts more than he can do.
When you invite friend to dinner
remember that while he is under your
roof you are responsible for all his
happiness.
Economy is the parent of integrity,
of liberty of ease, and the sister of
temperance, of cheerfulness and OF
health.
Sourness of disposition and rudeness
of behavior, consciousness and sinister
Interpretation OF things, all cross and
distasteful humors, render the CONVEX
sation of men grievous and uneasy to
one another.
Accustom girls to be of service in the
praise-worthy and even heroic, and to
cal knowledge of work. Such girls
when pOrtionless, will carry to their
husbands dowries in themselves.
Wealth ill-used is as the net of the
spider entangling and destroying; but
wealth Well-used is as the net of the
sacred fisher who gathers souls of men
out of the deep.
Children should be taught to respect
the secrets of their friends and school
mates in all cases where they can do
so consistently with a conscientious re-
gard for right and justice.
All evil shuns the light, all good
courts it. 1t is a homage which even
the worst men pay to goodness that
they strive to hide their lack of it, and
pretend to share in it whenever such
pretense is pc ,sible.
1t is the proportionate development
of thought and enthusiasm that makes
the truly valuable man or woman. The
chief bane of success everywhere is
that, instead of being welded, they
are so often divorced.
You must desire to improve your
heart, and 50 become good. You must
desire to improve your head, and so
become well informed. But you must
first desire to become good. That is
the first and great end of life.
In the conduct of life, habits count
for more than maxims. To reform
ones maxims is nothing; it is but to
change the title of the good. To learn
new habits is everything; for it is to
reach the substance of life. Life is but
tissue of the habits.

Rain, rain.
Very hot growing weather.
Mr.. Mershaw, of Brockway, visited
friends i'll this vicinity last week.
Mrs. Asa McGregory has friends
from Indiana visiting her at present.
Arthur Atkins and CYRUS Phillips re-
turned home from Owendale last week
where they have been working for
some time.
This vicinity was visited by u cyclone
last Friday afternoon. The rain fell
in torrents and u terrific hailstorm ac-
companied it. Hailstones were said to
be picked up as large as hens eggs.
Barns were unroofed, stacks and fences
leveled to the ground, but fortunately
no lives were lost. Among those who
suffered the most loss as far as heard
from are: Amasa Brown, frame shed,
26x80 blown to pieces; Mr.. McLaren,
barn partly unroofed; +. b. Pettypiece,
stables and stacks blown to the ground
Mr.. Warn, woodshed and stacks blown
down; Henry Phillips, granary blown
off the blocks and stacks leveled; VIM.
+. Ehler's high front of the new hall
and John PARROTS stable blown down,
hurting one of his horses badly; Levi
Holcomb, Henry Vanorman and many
others had the tops blown off their
stacks. Others had their log stables
and fences brought low. Turnips and
corn are almost stripped of their leaves.
Early sown wheat will suffer much
from the hail and by being flooded
with water.

That Baby!

When the baby cries everyone wants
to know what's the matter; and if the
cutlery is frequent, the chances are that
there is something wrong about the
food. 1t requires unusual facilities to

What to Feed the Baby" published in
the October number of that progressive
monthly, DEMoREsT's FAMILY MAGA-
ZINE, is especially valuable to all who
have anything to do with babies. 1t
will tell you everything you need to
know about baby's food from the time
it is born till it can eat the regular
meals of the family food to
give, how to prepare each kind, how
much and how often the child should
be fed, when and how often the diet
should be changed, with bills of fare
for different ages, etc.,-and all so
clearly that one cannot misunderstand
the directions. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
