There has been great in,nrovements

There has been great improvements
in refrigerators since they. were first
introduced. The old fashioned ice
box lined with charcoal or some other
non-conductor of heat was formerly
all we had for keeping ice. By i'm
proved methods, a great deal of the
time and material has been saved in
the manufacture of refrigerators, and
a thoroughly trustworthy one may
now be purchased for SO and upward.
An ice box or an ice chest, when the
ice is in the same compartment as the
food, is not so expensive and it keeps
the food colder, but there is a greater
waste of ice, and it is a great deal
more trouble to keep clean. Some of
the best refrigerators are furnished
with shelves of slate, and still others
are made with the entire compart-
ments where the food is kept lined
with stoneWare. These are consider
ably more expensive than zinc lined
refrigerator. The smallest Of those
made with stoneware compartments
cost $25. 1t seems as if the food kept
in them would be more wholesome
than that kept in a zinc-1ined refrig-
orator, which is SO apt to have a close,
stuffy odor, no matter how often it is
washed

There is a species of terrapin at the
London Geological Gardens which is in
the fortunate position of not having to
work for a living. Like the children in
the fairy tale, it has simply to open it's
mouth and food viii drop in. In the
mouth of this reptile is little tag of
flesh which is in continual vibration,
and nearly always visible, for the crea-
ture remains open mouthed for hours
together. 1t is believed that the sight
of this is particularly alluring to the
piscine mind. The fish commits the
very pardonable though fatal error of
mistaking the process for a wriggling
worm In trying to take the bait it is

''good- natured fooP' who does not
know enough not to give. But, as we
said before, you need not cease giving
because you meet such poor return;
you will feel better for it during your
last moments than the poor wretch
who has boarded all for his own selfish
amusement or for greed. You have
been storing up treasure in heaven,
while he has been laying it up on
earth. Yours is where "neither moth

IN AMUSING MISTAKE.

1t is an amusing thing mistak-
ing a stranger for some one you know,
or it is amusing to see some one else
do so.
And did you ever notice the differ
ence between men and women in the
way in which they get around the mis-
take?
A man will go up to another one
and say:
''Why, how do you do?'
AS he puts out his hand the other
man takes it and gives it a cordial
shake and says:
elbow do you do? How are you? 1t
is a fine day. Let me see-where have
1 met your"
When they come to compare their
mental notes they discover that they
never have met anywhere, but they
sit down and discuss politics and re
hgion, or anything else, with the same
freedom as if meeting was an every
day occurrence.
A woman will bow to another, think
the one is taken completely off her
guard, she will draw herself up in the
haughtiest manner and say, ''You are
mistaken" The first one bushes and
apologies and settles down thorough
ly convinced of the enormity of the
crime of making a simple mistake.
If one is taken unawares, however,
and thinks possibly she has met the
very cordial greetsr somewhere, she
evinces much more tact than does q
man under the same circumstances.
She returns the cordial hand shake
and lets the other do the talking until
something is said by which she can
recall the former meeting, or trusts to
luck in not letting the woman discover
her mistake.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

1t is well, in my opinion, to accus-
tom ones self early to work, and not
to be afraid of any kind of work that
is honest and useful. 1 began to sup
port myself when Twas twelve years
old, and I have never been dependent
! on others since then. l had some
schooling, but not much; never went
tie college, not because l did not think
| a college career might not be a good
thing for those who could afford it and
who could make a good use of it, but
because 1 did not feel that it was so
important to me as to be earning my
own living. When left home to come
to Philadelphia one of my relatives
said that 1 would be coming back
again. But 1 had made up my mind
that would never go back-I would
succeed. 1 had health, the power of
applying myself, and, L suppose, a
fair amount of brains.
1 came to Philadelphia with So in my
pocket. found board and lodgings for
$3.50, and then l got a place as Office
OOy 1O1 oO- 11dU CAV 1A1O q OuA Plus
of so cents a week. l did not merely
do the work that was absolutely re-
quired to do, but did all I could, and
put my heart into it. | wanted my
employer to feel that l was more use
full to him than he expected me to be.
[ was not afraid to clean and sweep
and perform what might be consider
ed by some young gentlemen nova
days as mental work, and therefore
beneath them. I did not think it be-
meath me then, and [ should not now.
If it were necessary, [ would sweep
out my Office to-day, and | often carry
bundles.
The other day youth came to me
to ask if could find some employ
ment for him. His father had died
and his mother could not support him,
and he wished to support himself.
looked at him and saw that he had
on very nice clothes and kid gloves.
[ asked him if he would like to wheel
a wheelbarrow. He seemed surprised
and answered that he didn't think he
would like that. Then [ asked him if
he would object to carrying bundles.
Well, he wasn't anxious to carry bun
dies either. He was like many young
men, who talk about wanting work,
but, when it comes to the point, they
want to do only kid-glove sort Of
work. [ must say don't have much
sympathy with that sort of feeling.
Men are all brothers, and what is
worthy of one is not unworthy of any
one. The Bible says that it is what
cometh out of the mouth that defileth
a man. 1t is not work, but character,
that can be discreditable. N. Y. World.

SHE VAS WTSE WOMAN

She was a woman of mild and inof-
fensive appearance. 1t did not seem
possible that she could hurt fly. For
years she and her husband had labor
ed to earn home. Now it was half
paid for. The faithful wife had risen
early in the morning to get her. MANS"
breakfast; religiously washed, dressed
and spanked the children. She had
kept the house neat and tidy, and had
sat up until late at night to repair
many an unfortunate rent, and apiece
OUT many an unpieceable garment.
Her life has seemed a hard, toilsOme
one, but the hope of a home free from
debt spurred her on. At last the blow!
Her lord and master came home and
announced that he had joined strike,
and would work no longer for shop
that did not employ ''union" labor.
Then it was that the little woman arose
in her might. "John Henry' said she,
''for seven years l have worked six
teen hours a day for board and lodg
ing, with a new dress once a year.
You have worked eight hours a day,
and partly paid for our home, and had
plenty of cigars and beer. You strike;
1 strike too. Either you go to work in
the morning or I'll go home to my
mother" John Henry was thunder
struck. A woman strike! Why, it's
preposterousl But here was the
cold fact; John Henry faced it, sue
cumbed to fate, and went to work.
But, my gentle reader, suppose the
women were all to strike, what would
become of us? We give it up.

MASTERY OF TEMPER.

In the culture of self, a lesson of par
amount Importance and one which
must be learned is absolute mastery
of the temper. To gain this control
requires constant thought and persist
ent tho't endeavor, but its attainment
is richly worth the labor. A lack of
that mastery more than aught else
makes thousands of lives miserable
and fills innumerable homes with the
poisonous atmosphere of inharmony.
1t is therefore of the greatest import
ance that we learn to forbear, learn to
crush the bitter word before it is spok
en-, and cultivate cheerfulness. 1t is
kind words, tender Inference, thought
full deeds, sympathetic acts; these
faults of temper once controlled make
the humblest life radiant, lovable, and
attractive. If children were early
taught by parents the supreme import
ance of conquering their tempers and
developing a sweet, sympathetic, and
cheerful spirit, they would receive a
richer dover than wealth could buy If
young people IN starting nfe'S Jour
ney, would firmly determine to master
their temper, to cultivate at all times
a spirit of cheerfulness, and loving
hopefulness, and to frankly confess
their wrongs to the other when either
allows temper to overmaster good
resolutions, we would find few lives
drifting apart. This is only one step
in that all-importants self culture which
grasps the ethical side of life and de-
velops it, and which we most need i'm
pressed on life to-day, in the home,
in the school, in the family paper and
from the pulpit. Let us learn hoaO to
lice in harmony with all that is pure,
noble, and uplifting.

The Coming of June.

The still sweet air breathes in prophetic tone,
In whisperings low, and many a gentle moan.
Young grasses leap with quick and joyous
spring,
And DER the earth their freshest odors fling;
The bowed crocuses, with murmurs say
To one another, There's a sweeter day
The golden sunshine, with its gladdening rays,
calls down from mountains brooks with sill
yer sprays
The budding tree with joyous bird-song rings,
Like echoes from thousand golden strings!
All nature smiles a welcome bIithe and clear,
While June comes through the doorway of
the year.-Erchange.

There is no reason why the barn

manure will have a clean barnyard,
for he can not afford to allow the Ii

can more easily be decomposed in the
manure heap. All material for the

HEALTH HINTS.

Eat and drink what you desire as
long as it agrees with you. Your
stomach knows pretty well what it
can digest. Plain, simple food is de-
sirable, as a general thing, but the lux
uries of the table, in moderation, will
do no harm.
y. Alcoholic beverages are not fit for
habitual use. They are true medicines,
and should only be used like any 9TH
er medicines-under the advice of a
physician. AS a regular beverage
they can do no good, but will almost
certainly do harm.
Take all the sleep you can get, but
remember the amount varies greatly
for different persons. Some must
sleep at least nine hours, while others
thrive under six. Only don't rob
yourself of what you really need. The
midnight oil'' is a terribly expensive
illuminant to burn either for the pur-
poses of labor or study
Always treat a common cold with
great respect. Ninety nine times out
of hundred it will get well any way,
but the hundredth cold, if neglected,
may lead to bronchitis, pneumonia, or
consumption. 1t is best to take no
such chances.
If you are sick enough to need any
medicine at all, beyond the simple
remedies familiar to all, you are sick
enough to need the attendance of a
physician.
BY all means take as much exercise
as you can, and be in the open air as
much as possible. Outdoor life is the
natural condition of mankind, and the
more one can have of of it the better
The practice must not be carried to
extremes, however.
Fresh air, sunlight, good and suffi
cient food, pure water, outdoor exer
else, temperance in all things and
cheerful disposition are the chief rem
edies in natures dispensatory, and
are worth more than all the drugs and
medicines of the shop.

first to betray you. 1t is true the world

cause the people are ungratefuI. Dis

abundantly as ever, looking for your

Many processes in farming are be-
coming lost arts. Many old and valu-
able modes of cultivation are set aside,
in some cases because a little gain
may be made in saving Of labor, but
which results in loss of crops. The
old style of saving all the home made
manure and putting it on corn-land,
then rotating to grain or roots, which
was always and is profitable, is nearly
abandoned for the newer style of US
ing chemical fertilizers, which require
a chemist to prescribe, a chemist to
apply, and a chemist TO follow up for
next years crop. Before we can hope
to succeed with the new style fertiliz-
ers we must have the new style farm
er. Chemical fertilizers demand an
educated farmer to make them pay a
sure profit.

GRADE YOUR Cows. i

GRADE YOUR Cows. - 1t costs no
more, it costs much less to keep a
good COW or hog than poor one. For
example, take a man who owns a
good Jersey bull of a prepotent fami-
ly, the heifers of his first cross will
give him so per cent more butter on
an average, and of a much finer quail
ity than that their mothers gave. 1t
is an axiom that the bull is half the
herd. | have seen grades of the third
cross that no one could tell, by looks,
or butter, from registered Jerseys.
1t is hard to calculate how much good
a fine, vigorous Jersey bull can do in
a country neighborhood. One mistake
is freely made that should be avoided
A half breed male should never be
used to breed from. 1t is the male
that lifts the grade. Where Jersey
is introduced his sons should be killed
for beef or used for oxen, and his
daughters crossed to another pure
bred Jersey. In one cross any man
can see such difference that he will
thank me for my advice. In three
crosses he will have a most valuable
herd-as good butter-makers almost
as registered Jerseys

EVERY Two AND A HALF MINUTEs.-The
blood makes circuit of the body every ~
minutes, delivering nutriment and taking
back waste matter to be filtered out by the
liver Ond kidneys and removed from the body
through the bowels and the urinary secretion.
Any stOppage or obstruction of this process
may produce various forms of disease, such
a Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Constipation,
Headache, Debility, and bad blood with its
multiplied evils (boils, blotches, pimples,
sores, eruptions, assesses and the like)
When such distractions exist as evidenced by
the presence of complaints similar to those
