WISE WORDS.

When suspicion is awakened doubt Il
aroused.
That is the safest policy which insures
success.
A ray of hope makes the prospect
brighter.
Everyone can master grief but he
that has it.
Better three hours too soon than one
minute too late.
Give greed an opportunity and it will
take advantage.
They lean to the side of virtue who are
rightly inclined.
Ambition looks for opportunity; en-
ergy helps to find it.
The weak may be joked out of any
thing but their weakness.
If the temper must be ruflled let the
reason for it be made plain.
Let insult be added to injury and diff
ficulties will begin to multiply.
Nothing is so credulous as vanity, or
so ignorant of what becomes itself.
Youth is the season of hope, enter
prise and energy, to nation as well us
an individual.
1t is good plan to say rs little as pos
sible about that of which one knows alb
solutely nothing.
The two best rules for a system of
rhetoric are, first, have something to say,
and, next, say it.
What we wish to do we think we can
do, but when we do not wish to do
thing it becomes impossible.
If cleanliness is next to godliness,
then sanctity must occupy an isolated po-
sition in slothful persons lot in life.
Time is the greatest of all tyrants. AS
we go on toward age he taxes our
health, limbs, faculties, strength and
features.
Society is the atmosphere of souls,
and we necessarily imbibe from it some
thing which is either infectious or
healthful.

Largest Farm in the World.

There is farm in the southwest of
Louisiana measuring 100 miles north and
south and twenty-five miles east and
west. The 1900, 900 acres of which it
is made up were purchased seven years
ago from the State of Louisiana and from
the United States Government by syn
dictate of northern capitalists, by which
it is now farmed. This immense tract is
now divided into convenient pasture STA

Unfinished Rivers.

A river, in the proper conception OF
the word, might be defined as stream
formed by the confluence of numerous
little rills, and directly or indirectly car
rying its waters to the sea; but quite a
number of watercourses of both hemi-
spheres make an exception from the
general rule. On the south slope of the
Atlas Range not less than forty good
sized streams are wholly lost in the sand,
and Southern California has at least We
rivers, some of them as large as the
James at Lynchburg, which fail to reach
the ocean in midsnmmer.-Neao Yorl

parts of pulverized resin and two parts

hot tallow. Into this mixture the article
to be hardened Is plunged at low red

why 1t is Necessary to Adulterate Milk

The dairyman who was arrested and
fined a few days ago for violation of the
ordinance regarding watered milk, made
statement to representative OF the
Times Democrat tending to show that
any question has at least two sides. He
admitted that his milk was watered, but
stated as justification, therefor, that
dilution was necessary in order to trans
port it in merchantable condition over
the rough streets of the city during the
warm weather. The unevenness of MANY
thoroughfares in and beyond the busi-
ness portion of the city had the effect, he
said, of ''churning" pure milk. In this
condition it became unstable, so that
dairymen were compelled to adopt some
method of preserving the lacteal fluid in
state as near ''fresh" as possible.
Hence, to ten gallons of fresh milk he
had applied one gallon of water and a
tablespoonful of salt. For this he was
arrested and fined.
On the other hand, it was impossible.
he said, for the American dairymen to
compete with the Gascon, whose milk
was not only unclean, but absolutely
impure. So far as he (the speaker) was
concerned he would gladly do anything
or comply with any law or regulation
that might be passed concerning the in
ternal management or arrangement of
dairies; and if any harmless chemical
could be devised by the Board of Health
to overcome or ncutralize the effects OF
the"churnlng" process of fresh milk while
in course of delivery to customers, he
would be more than willing to adopt il
in connection with his business. Waite,
was put in his milk, not to defraud Gus.
toners, but simply to prevent 1t turning
into butter.--Neao Orleans Times Demo

A Reclaimed Desert.

The Russian explorer, Mr.. Grum- Grzi-
mailo, who has been travelling in Central
Asia, says that the oasis of Turfau, in
Tianghan, once the bed of great lake,
is n reclaimed desert. Being without
water it is irrigated by the inhabitants,
who have excavated system of under
ground canals and wells some 800 feet
deep. These canals collect the under
ground water and convey it to the sur
face in the lower lands. The works are
so colossal that :hc members of the ex-
ploring party could only compare them
with those of ancient Egypt. Picauune.

An economical way to trim dress with
black lace flounce is to buy the lace
made for gowns and to cut it up into the
width desired, then hem the edge. Lace
through which ribbon may be run is very
pretty treated in this way.
The newest pattern in India silk is
palm leaves, which takes the place of the
flowers and figures of the last few sea-
sons. The backgrounds are of some
very dark color or black, strewn with
these leaves, four or five inches long.
Bouquets are very original this year in
London society, but are not more admir-
able on that account. Triangular and
pointed ferns are concealed under a
heavy mass of flowers and are more
potent as Weapons than as additional
charms.
White chamois skin gloves are to be
worn for outing purposes. These are not
expensive in the first place, and then if
directions are followed they can be
washed successfully. For shopping wear
the natural color chamois glove is very
comfortable.
Black silk henrietta cloth makes
beautiful summer dress for an elderly
lady. An all-silk grenadine made up
over black satin is also most suitable
gown. The coat or basque may be re-
lieved by vest or double rutile of some
bright-colored silk.
Ladies who wear thin dresses will be
glad to know that the prettiest and most
comfortable underskirt in the world is
called the princess petticoat. 1t is, of
course, modelled as its name suggests and
should be made of black or white China
silk with few rufiies ON the hem.
The suits worn by little boys are very
frequently in white, in spite of the facil-
ity with which such garments become
soiled, while when but two or three years
old they wear ginghams, with high round
waists, comfortable but not very wide
sleeves, and killed skirts, and four years
sees them in jackets, with kits and
shirt waist.
Butter making is advocated as an oc-
cupation for women. To be sure, it is
usually the farmers wives who make
butter now, but there Is still room for
women who are obliged to take care OF
themselves to undertake the industry.
Almost everybody prefers sweet butter to
salt, and this, to be good, requires to be
made daily.

Value Of Watches,

" Some old watches have considerable
value and some have very little. In
the first category are watches with
hogs bristles for regulating the vibra-
tions, egg watches, all watches with
one hand, with or without ornamenta-
tons; watches without balance spring
and without regulating arrangements,
those with perforated cases those
with finely chased cases, if the chasing
be distinct; enameled gold watches of
fine workmanship, watches of wood
or ivory or with iron or porcelain
cases, and nearly all watches with Pc
culiar movements. Old watches of
little value are those that have chased
cases, the figures Of which are worn
off, or, if we'll preserved, are of inferi-
or workmanship; painted pinchbeck
cases, cases OF four-colored gold lay
ers with ordinary designs, and painted
dials that display poor workmanship.
Watches with figures striking on bells
are Of little value. New York Sun.

No one moved or spoke, and again
the preacher extended an invitation

again his invitation met with silence.

For Motners.

Mothers with young children will
appreciate the following easy method
OF sterilizing milk, a process recon-
mended by the Baltimore Sun: ssPut
the milk when it first comes from the
dairy into number OF nursing bot
ties, one for each nursing, fill, them
about three quarters full and adding
water. as much as desired. Push a
wad of cotton batting tightly into the
mouth Of each bottle. Then put the
bottles into pan OF water and let the
water boil for half an hour. Then set
the bottles aside, and when one IS
needed take out the cotton and put
on the nipple. Milk thus sterilized
will keep all day without ice. II this.
method is followed, milk, which is free
from poison when it is sterilized, will
remain free from poison until it is
drank. and will not disorder the child's
bowels or stomach.

A Bartender's Find.

Jewels sometimes turn up in queer
places and from unexpected directions,
says the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser. Stories about this sort ofthing
are as thick as the musca domestica
upon thereof ofthe averager estaurant
pie, and the majority of them are the
creation of highly oriental magma
tions The last man in town to have
bona fde experience of this kind was
a bartender at the Imperial Hotel.
Several Sundays ago he hied himself
to the house of friend who dwells up
on the frowning shores of Great Neck,
l.. L., and in company with him spent
several hours in skittering for CLAIMS.
During the homeward row the bar
tender cracked one Of the bivalves up
on the boats gunwale, and much to
his surprise a big and handsome pearl
dropped out Of the broken shell.
Close examination proved that the
prize was. a irst-class Jewel, and both
the finder and his friends have been
specializing ever since as to how it got
into that clam. A buyer for one OF
the big jewelry shops has offered the
bartender a fat price for his find, but
the manipulation of mixed drinks
thinks he will keep it to illumine his
tie.
