A man was recently heavily fined
for sending false news to newspa.
per. The supreme court in its review
Of the case, and decision sustaining
the fine, points out how the editor of
of Il newspaper is compelled to depend
on the good faith of its informant in
cases where he could have no person
al knowledge to guide him. The
practical Joker or malicious liar who
considers it rather a clever thing to
take in newspaper in this way will in
the future be wise in remembering

A single bitter word may disquiet
family for whole day. One surly
glance casts IA gloom over the house
| hold, while a smile, like CLEAN of
sunshine, may light up the darkest
and weariest hours. Like unexpected
flowers which spring up along our
path, full of freshness, fragrance, and
beauty, so kind words and gentle acts
and sweet dispositions make glad the
sacred spot called home. No matter
how humble the abode, if it be sweet
ened with kindness and smiles, the
heart will turn lovingly toward it
from all the tumults of the world, and
home, if it be ever so hOmely, will he
the dearest spot beneath the circuit of
the sun.
Boo hoo hoo. Oh, dear, dear
This sad wall of distress fell upon the
ears of the loungers about the depot
tine other morning as the train moved
out, bearing on the back platform II
lank-looking rustic youth, who was
frantically shaking his pocket-hand-
kerchief at the young girl on the sta
ton platform from whose lips had just
fallen the doleful sounds above de-
scribed. Oh, love! thou art Il subtle

chunk of male simplicity, whose chief
virtue is to prevent bread being de-
stroyed by the lapse of time.
We wish to call the attention of our
business men to the desirability of us
ing advertising space in the ExposIToR.
We have abundant proof that adver-
Using in our columns pays, and we
should be pleased to have our business
men generally make Use of our col
umns. We do not wish to accept ad-
vertisements from outside dealers
where it conflicts with our home deal
ers, but this paper il published to af-
ford us a living, and, if possible, lay
up something for the inevitable "wet
day." and if our home dealers do not
care to use the space we have to sell
we must dispose of it to outsiders.
There are few home dealers who
advertise literally, but there are sever
al others who do not, and it is for
those this article is intended.
Raspberry vinegar is a luxury that
may be INDUCED in by families living
in the country who have an album
dance of fruit. Put four quarts of
berries in a stone jar, with one quart
of the best cider vinegar, and mash to

the sun twelve hours, and then place
all night in cool place. Strain off
the juice the next day and pour it over
four quarts of fresh berries. The sec
ond day strain, and to each quart of
the juice allow one pint of water and
five pounds of granulated sugar.
Heat over n slow fire until the sugar is
dissolved. Bring TO boil slowly, skim
off the scum. AS soon as it reaches
the boiling point, strain and bottle
