BITS OF WISDOM.

A WOMAN can only be a friend to a
woman where her interests are not con-
cerned.
MANY men make their servants pres
ent of their old clothes. Most women sell
theirs to struggling, ragged, maid SER

MIR. GLADsToNE's idea of requests is
thus set forth: "What is wrested from
me by the grip of death can in no
sense be said to give"

Wales said "The ambition of my life
has been to mind my own business" A

SOME things for boy to learn: To

FACTS FOR THE FARMERS.
THE farmers gain is participated in
by the whole community.
CoRNcoBs are exceedingly rich in pot
ash. Save them, burn them and care
fully collect the ashes therefrom.
INSECT powder is too expensive for
general use on the farm, but it will pay
to use it on flowers and in the green
houses.
SOME clay lands are so stiff that the
water cannot go down. Such lands are
benefited by deep blowing, subsoiling
and tile drainage,
The well may contain water as clear
as crystal and yet it needs cleaning
oftener than is done on many farms.
Disease sometimes comes from the drink
ing water.
GRASS for hay should not be grown in
the apple orchard, as it not only robs
the soil of the fertility required for the
fruit, but of moisture, which is of even
more consequence. ab
IT depends a good deal on the soil
whether culture should be level or not.
On bottom lands where water has a
tendency to stand after storms, ridge or
hill culture will be best.
For mealy bugs on plants use fir
tree oil, which may be obtained of any
druggist. A teaspoonful to gallon of
water is the right proportion. 1t is APP
plied with syringe and with consider
able force.
THE good suggestion is made that
the owners name should be on all i'm
elements and tools. A branding-iron,
by means of which the name can be |
burnt into the wood, is not expen-
sive, and makes the impression per-
nanent.
THE way to insure quick and
healthy growth of timber, according to

Tho Value of Hypocrisy as Social
~ Elevator.
When atrabilarious Hamlet, in his
choleric interview with his mother in
the cabinet, imprudently advised her
: Assume virtue II you have it or not"
he unwittingly laid down general
rule OF high value to individuals and the
community, says John McElroy in the
Popular Science Monthly.
Stimulation of virtue, though far in
fcrior to the real article, is still the
next best thing to it, just as whitewash,
though much inferior To marble, is yet
greatly superior to dirty nakedness.
1t is very desirable that all men and
all women should stand together on
the very highest plane of goodness; but
the largest portion of them do not
probably never will. 1t is unreasona-
bic to expect that the mass of humanity
viii be steadily aligned on the most adj
vanced standards of morality, especial
ly when those standards arc pushed for
ward as rapidly as they have been in the
more recent centuries. Ethics is con-
stantly developing science. What was
n high grade of morality in the eigh-
teenth century would be a very ordi-
nary one to-day; just as the man who,
in our colonial times, would have been
regarded as neat and clearly in his per-
son, would seem a good deal of sloven
to-day. Then, as now, men and women
would assume to be much cleaner, NOR
ally and physically, than they really
were, and by sheer force of persistence
and habit became really cleaner than
they at first pretended to be. Persons
with the bump of approbativeness high
ly developed constantly forge to the
front on lines which they think will
win them the esteem of their fellows,
and the latter follow with unequal
steps, first showing outward respect and
conformity to better IDEAS and practices,

The National Dairy and Food Associa-

labors until nearly noon to-day. Pre'i-

committee on credentials had reported,
the meeting took up the Paddock Pure

immediate passage with the elimination
of the word "knowingly."
The object of this organization is to es-
tablish a uniform standard for the purity
of human food and drink, and to encour-
age the honest manufacturer and dealer
and protect the consumer. An informal
conference was held in the forenoon yes
terday but nothing of importance was done
until the afternoon session.

afternoon, and there was discussion of
the various anti-adulteration and pure food
