In the January wide Awake,

Margaret Sidney's paper on whittier
with the Children" naturally leads all
others in timeliness and interest. II is
sympathetic, personal aud delightful,
and shows the good Quaker poet as the
child-loyer and with that child-nature
his poems have led us to ascribe to him.
The article is profusely illustrated.
Another leader is Frederick A. Ober's
The Bridge that Spanned the World"
1t deals with the localities made
famous by Colum bus in Spain. Kirk
Munroe, the founder of the League Of
American Wheelmen, contributes
pithy article About Bicycles to the
Wide Awake Athletics, and makes some
sharp criticisms on the present method
of "jackllni6ng" in the saddle. The
short stories in this number are es-
pecially bright. Annie Howells
Frechettc's BILL is the study OF a
small boy that shows the Howclls'
realism in Il new vein; Mary Kyle Dal-
las The Little Turk" is Il tale of
pluck and endeavor; Mary P. w, Smith
in Behind the Wardrobe" delights all
those who love or hate arithmetic.
The serial stories by w. o. Stoddard,
Molly Elliot SeawcIl and Theodora Il.
Jenness are increasingly absorbing.
Kate Putnam Osgood's Ballad of the
Bonny Page" is full of strength and
fire; NJ. e. BIS dog poem, "A Morning
Call" Mrs. M, e. Butts $50 the Snow
Comes Down" and Richard Burtou's S
Landlord and Tenant" are charming.

Fortune Seeking and Angling.

Angling is sinrularly like the pur-
suit of fortune in the lifeworl1 OF men
and women. The average sportsman
prefers to work all day for the capture
of single big fish rather than catch a
score OF little ones worth as much in
the aggregate as the one Snowy and eX-
citing prize. The fish that are never
landed are as fine as the business op-
portunities passed by, and the best fish
ing is always in some other place, just
as the golden land of easy fortunes is
forever in some distant part of the
world. These observations are not par
ticularly novel or valuable, but they
will come, again and again, into the
mind of one who has seen prominent
business man of this city cast spoon
hook with unremitting energy for hours
where a solitary big piclerel had just
been landed by another angler in the
vain but undying hope that another
fish equally large would be easily de.
ceived by the shining lure. Cleveland

There is a tender sweetness about
some OF our common phrases of aifec
tionate greeting, simple and unobtru,

Ipon the heart. Goodnight! The little

shining face and hands, and prayers
said, sh toddles Off to bed Sisters and
brothers exchange the wish; parents
and children; friends and friends. IA,
miliar use has robbed it of its signifi.

matically without much thought But
consider. We are, as voyagers, putting
Off from time to time upon an uneX-
plored sea. Our barqucs Of life set sail
and go onward into the darkness, and
we, asleep on our pillows, take no such
;are as we do when awake and journey
ing by daylight Of the perils Of the
night, whatever they may be, we take
no heed. An unsleeping vigilance
watches over us, but it is the vigilance
of one stronger and wiser than we, who
is the Eternal Good Good and God
spring from the same root, are the same
in meaning. "Good-by" is only God

TEAMS IN WINTER.
Keep the Horses In Good Condition roR
She Spring Work.

She Spring Work.
Af.er the corn is cribbed and the fall
blowing done there is not great deal
of team work to be done during the
winter. There will be some feed to
haul, more or less manure to haul out
and some fuel to haul. Usually one
team will do all that is necessary. II
will be best to have this team well
shod and we'll fed so they can readily
do what is required of them. 1t is al.
ways an item to keep them thrifty,
feeding and grooming we'll and regu.
larly. 1t does not pay to allow any of
them to run down, and while with
those that are not at work it is always
an item to winter as economically as
possible, at the same time the econom
ical wintering should never be done at
the expense of condition. Close con.
f1nement is not good for horses. They
need exercise and they should be al
lowed to run out every day that the
weather will permit. II may not be
advisable to turn them out into the
pastures, but they can have the run OF
q lot to good advantage. If well shel.
tered and given plenty of roughncss
very little grain will be needed, but
they should have some. Unthreshed
oats run through a feed cutter, with a
small quantity of bran, makes one OF
the very best feeds for the idle teams
in winter. But hay and corn fodder,
with little corn and bran, will make
a good ration. Once week give all
the horses bran mash. This will have
a tendency to keep the bowels open
and will serve also to make u variety.
Never feed more of anyt ing than
they will cat up clean. Iyen with
straw or corn fodder only what they
will eat clean should be given. This
is necessary if they have good appc.
tite
Corn can nearly always he fed with
benefit when the weather IS very cold
on account OF its hcatinr qualities.
Use all reasonable care to keep them
comfortable, as in this way it is much
easier to keep them thrifty.
While it IS not necessary TO feed the
teams that are not Mt work rs much as
those that are at work will need, yet
it will pay at all times to supply
enough to keep them thrifty, as in the
end it will cost less than to allow them
to run down and then be obliged to
feed up before the season for work
opens. The best way is to begin in
good season increasing the rations as il
may seem necessary. st. Louis Re.

perhaps, of which is Halley's, which in
145G, just after the taking Of Cor anti

some connection with the triumph Of
the Moslem armies. To the Ave Maria

an application of dry, hardwood ashes,
that will at the first rainfall however

Ifyou want the best food, you will be interested
in the following facts, which show why Royal
is the best baking POWDER why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal its sale greater in this
country than the sale of all other cream Of tartar
baking powders combined.
The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
II is absolutely pure and wholesome.
1t is combined from the most approved
and hcalthful ingredients.
1t makes the finest favored, most tender,
delicious and wholesome food.
1t has greater lenvening strength than
any other baking powder, and is therefore
the cheapest.
1t never loses its strength, but viii keep
fresh and Of full leavening power until
used.
1t acts slowly in the dough, so that none
of its strength is lost before the baking is
completed.
It makes food that will keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, OF that may be eaten hot
and fresh with impunity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all others in these respects are easily
stated One is because it is made from chemically
pure materials another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. 1t is
always uniform in composition and leaYcning
power. 1t has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and con-
ductor of it's business ever since is still Mt
the head of its management. Thus all the
