only from an ordinary rabbit" in the ad-
dition of poached egg to each slice of

Probably no other farm stock can
be made to yield larger returns on
money invested than turkeys. Many
persons are deferred from trying to
raise them because of tenderness of
the young. There need be little loss
from this cause if certain points are
carefully observed for the first seven
or eight weeks of the poults life.
These are: Roomy rainproof coops in
dry sunny spot Precautions against
vermin by busting the mother plenti-
fully with insect powder few days
before Matching time and oiling her
head and neck lightly with hen fat or
oil. When the young are Matched dust
them with the powder and annoint

drop of the oil; grease in quantity is
injurious Feed four times day the
first two weeks with dry wheat
bread dampened with sweet milk
and crumbed with hard boiled
eggs adding occasionally a little
onion. purslane or dandelion, chopped
fine. After the.second week the little
turks will thrive finely on drained
sour-milk curd and baked oatmeal mid
dlings or johnny cake. Do not give
sloppy food. Drink should be gwen
in vessels so shallow that only their
bills can get wet. Lastly. after the

Sheep.

Ii An experienced sheep-raiser advises
farmers to put sheep'on all the waste
places of their farms-a hillside, &
marsh. wasted or worn spot or an
acre or more of hazel brush, upon
which taxes are being paid and from
which little or no benefit is derived.
The poorest acre will pasture at least
one sheep, and that sheep will give a
fleece worth from $3.50 to So. so, a
lamb worth from So to S., thus max
ing the hitherto worthless acre pay
revenue of s. or Sc. while at the same
time the soil will be enriched and
made capable in a few years of sup
porting double the number of sheep

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Love is ALWAYS q burden bearer.

Love is always a burden bearer.
Love that is not kind is the wrong
kind. -
Anything is wrong that kills the spirit
of devotion.
The patience of love never wearies.
It is provocation proof.
It doesn't break the heart of love to
have the clothes-line break.
Wherever there is a dead conscience
it means that the soul is dead.
Love does not boast of the battles it
has fought, nor scratch its scars to maze
them look bigger.
Love never keeps her seat and says
nothing when the conductor happens to
miss her in the street car.
The love that is right itself will not
spend much Of its time in looking for
black spots on other people.
Love never picks out a two-cent
piece from a purse full of gold coins to
put in the collection ba sket.
Love that Is love, Is not Veneereo OF
grained timber, but is solid oak clear
through, and is never one bit afraid OF
the auger or buzz-saw.
No harm to do this, and no harm to
90 there, you say. Well, that depends.

rotten apple, but a very poor place for a

Il CANNOT FEEL sAvEp.n

HWhosoever belieyeth that Jesus Is the
Christ is born of God."-I John v. I.
Martin Luther, in one Of bis conflicts with
the devil, was asked by the arch-enemy If he
felt his sins forgiven. stNo," said the great
reformer, 81 don't.feel that they are for
given, but I know they are, because God
says so in His Word" Paul did not say,
'tBelieve on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou
shalt feel saved;' but, Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ, andthou shalt be sayed.s'
No one can feel that bis sins are forgiven.
Ask that man whose death was paid by hts
brother, "Do you feel thst Your debt is
paid?'' "No," Is the reply, II don't feel
that 1t is paid; I know from this
receipt that it is paid, and I feel happy. be-
cause I know It is paid" So with you, dear
reader. You must first believe in Gods
love to you as revealed at the Cross OF Cal
vary, and then you will feel happy, because
you shall know that you are saved.
A dear old Christian, on hearing persons
speaking of their feelings, used to say,
"Feelings! feelings! Don't bothor yourself
about your feelings. I just stick to the old
truth that Christ died for me, and BE Is my
surety right on to eternity, and FL stick to
that like q limpet to the rock

No WONDER those good MISSOURI
people threatened to lynch the viii
lains who abducted a little child, and
would return him to his parents only
when they had paid $4,000 ransom!
A little wholesome hanging is GER
tainly merited by persons vile enough
to engage in such brigandage. But
what shall be said Of the condition of
a community where such an abduc-
tion can be successfully carried out?
It would seem as if the agents Of the
law and those who watch over the
public security Whereabouts must be
perpetually gone a-tlshing.

THE next time you hear a man
criticising a man, notice what he
SAYS. He does not find fault with his
neighbor because he is not as good a
man as himself, but because he Is not
up to an impossible standard. If a
mar should appear who was as good
as we expect our neighbor to be, none
of US would be fit to live with him,
he would be SO nice. We all criticise
each other in this absurd way; COM
munity Of work mules criticising each
other for not being race horses, would
not be more ridiculous. .

A Grotesque Shark.

The hammerhead, or ground shark, is
one of the most grotesque objects in thu
ocean, its huge skull, which is placed at
right angles with the body, having q
most uncauny aspect The eyes, which
are at the extreme ends of the head, and
from eighteen to twenty-four inches
apart, have an unusually ~truculent ex-
preston, and, being very large, add to
the strange and fcrbidding look of the
creature. This species, as might be in.
ferred from the uncouth form Of its in,
tellectual department., is a resident Of
deep waters, and rarely leaves the bot.
tom. 1t preys, mainly, on such fnny
creatures as frequent the depths in which
it dwells, but it rises occasionally to cap!
ture the swift dolphin, sea trout, or red
fish. Fishermen fear it more than the
species that swim near the surface, be-
cause they are likely to step on it, or to
feel its resentment when they are draw
ing seines IN the deep channels which it
frequents. Being suilen and fierce, it
sometimes assails them without any ap-
parent reason, but I have yet to hear of
its causing the death of a man, or even
of its in6icting a serious wound upon
him. Both this species and the brown
shark may be taken on a rod and line
with mullet or meat bait. Specimens
weighing from ten to fifty pounds are
often caught with rod and reelin various
parts of Florida; but, as they are ~listless
in movement, and merely hang back like
a dead weight, even ardent young anglers
care little for them. They are so per-
sistent in taking the bait intended for
better fish, and even in pulling edible
captives off a hook, that anglers are often
compelled to change their fishing
grounds for some place which they do
not frequent. New York Post.

MY LITTLE LABORER,

4 tiny man, with fingers soft and tender.
As any lady fair;
Sweet eyes Of blue, a form both frail and
slender,
And curls Of sunny hair.
a household toy; a fragile thing Of beauty
Yet with rising sun
Begins his round of toll, a solemn duty,
That must be daily done.
To-day he's building castle, house and tower,
With wondrous art and skill,
Drlabors with his hammer by the hour,
With strong, determined will.
Anon, with loaded little cart he's plying
A brisk and driving trade;
Again with thoughtful, earnest brow is try
ing
Some books dark lore to read.
Now, laden like some little beast Of burden,
He drags himself along,
And now his lordly little voice is heard in
Boisterous shout and song.
Another hour is spentin busy toiling
With hoop and top and ball
And with a patience that is never failing
He tries and conquers al.
But sleep at last o'ertakes my little rover,
And on his mothers breast,
Joys thrown aside, the days hard labor over,
He sinks to quiet rest;
And as I fold him to my bosom, sleeping,
I think, mid gathering tears.
OF what the distant future may be keeping
As work for manhood's years.
Must he, with toll, his daily bread be earn
ing,
In the worlds busy mart,
Life's bitter lessons every day be learning,
With patient, struggle heart?
Or shall my little architect be building
Some monument Of fame,
On which. in letters bright, with glorious
gliding,
The world may read his nameP
Perhaps some humble, lonely occupation,
But shared with sweet content;
Perhaps a life in loftier. prouder station,
In selfish pleasure spent.
Perchanee these little feet may cross the
portal
OF ~learnin2's lofty fame,
His life-work be to scatter truths immortal
Among the SONS Of men!

TIE sensation just now in Europe
Is the frank announcement Of the OBJ
iects Of the Franco-R Russian alliance,
which promises to be aggressive.
These objects are the occupation OF
Constantinople by Russia and the
compulsory retirement Of the English
from Egypt. This means a heavy
blow at England. When the newly
allied powers begin these prepare.
tions for the ful1lment Of this pro-
gramme England will be in the field
against them, whether the Triple
Alliance moves or not. And with
Russian armies already stepping over
the Roumanian frontier, and French
fleets massing at Toulon, we mays
that war is within measurable dis
tance.

1t Would Not Lather.

The Norwegians make a sort of brown
cheese of goats milk and put it up in
little bricks. 1t does not present a very
inviting appearance to the foreigner,
though the natives esteem it as a deli
cacy. 1t is called "mysost." A native,
DR.. Julius Nicholson, sending some
delicacies to a German friend, put in a
cake of mysost. His friend wrote,
thanking him for the salmon, etc., and
continued, THE soap is very nice, but
we find difficulty in making a lather."
A cheese that would lather without
difficulty would be rare indeed.-Pica-

Hold thou my hand, I pray,
When shadows fall about me
And hide the beaten way.
When clouds hang low and heavy,
And storms of doubt assail,

I cannot tread unguided
The upward leading road;
I cannot bear upaided
The burden of the load.
I seek to journey onward,
I think to bravely stand,
But unawares 1 stumble
