The truth always gives lie to those who
take it to their hearts.
To be slow to anger IS better than to own
the best kind of a seven shooter.
There are so many people who never ex-
ptct to get what they ask for in prayer
meeting.
People WHO want to do good never have
to stand around on the corners waiting for
an opportunity.
There is no way of reaping permanent
success in this life without giving an
honest equivalent for it.
Matthew Henry says, and the truth, Of
his saying has been demonstrated in a
multitude of cases, that the Master yoke
is an easy one, because it is lined with

Food Value of Milk.

Few people realize the food value of
milk for all kinds of stock that can be IN
duced to eat it. When the price of butter
runs very low, as it often does in bot
weather. it will pay better to feed much of
the milk to pigs and poultry, making as
little butter as possible 1t takes less
labor, anyway, and if the old rule be true
that the Iaborer is worthy of his hire, it
Involves his right to strike or stop work
when his labor is not properly rewarded.
1t is rule quite as good for the man who
works on his own account as for him
whose labor is hired by others.

CHARLES LULING.
Board of Control Takes Appropriate Ac-
ton on His Death.


ton on His Death
The state board of control in session
yesterday adopted the following resolu-
tions in regard to the death of Hon Chas.
Luling, who was for many years presi-
dent of the old board of supervision and a
member of the present state board of con-
troll:
Death has taken from association with
us a member Of great usefulness, a man of
high character and unsurpassed business
attainments, gentleman of fine social
qualities, broad mind and large-hearted-
ness whom we had grown to love. In all
our work he was animated by devotion
and spirit of helpfulness which were the
measure Of his generous and self-denying
nature. The testimony Of all who knew
him in this and other relations lend a
halo to his character which impresses the
conviction that he was one of those
through whom helpfulness and considera-
ton for others the world has been made
fairer and better dwelling place for
men.
''Mr. Luling had quick and feeling
soul. No plant Of suffering, no wound
inflicted by heartlessnes5 Or Justice ever
found him with inattentive ear, or was
allowed to go unreIieved. He always did
something to help, and perfect simplicity
and delicacy characterized his every deed
Of cherity or timely word of admonition.

to US and the work Of caring for the IN
fortunates in our charge, in recognition
Of his commanding wor5hsas a citizen, and
his special value to the commonwealth in
the offices he held, be it
Res lived. That we keenly deplore the
mandate which has deprived Us of his
companionship and valued services; that
we deeply sympathiz9 with the berea7ed
family, and that to them at an early day
an engrossed copy of this memorial lie
presented, that copy hereof be incorpor-
ated in the minutes Of the present meet
ing; that tie chair Of deceased at our
working table be suitably draped for the
period of thirty days; that as further
mark of respect this board stand adjourn
ed to Wednesday, June %, and that we
all attend the funeral. "

Wet seasons and tall grasses are not
just suited to the sheep.
Good fences make peace with the stock
in pasture. No one ever gets dissatisfied
over a good fence.
Lice drives more setting hens from the
nest, and causes more deaths to setting
hens, than any other cause.
If you get d good laying hen by crossing
don't get wild over the prospect of a new
breed. +" Keep On with the cross.
The market and demand for wool are
likely to be an improvement on last year.
The supply IN the hands of American
manufacturers in said to be light.

Fame and LIS ErnitS.

Men talk, and talk truly, of the empti-
ne8s Of fame, as a bubble which just gilt
tiers for a few days or months, and then
bursts, leaving nothing behind it but a
hungry gaze on the spot where it disap
peared. And no doubt when the "re.
sponse' is over, when the echo Of eager
sympathy dies away, there is sense Of
living death IN the mind Of him who had
no longer. a sense which is nearer to the
consciousness Of death than any other ex-
perience Of Ii ing man. When Sir Walter
Scott was writing the two stories 10 which
he detected, by the blank books of James
Ballantyne, that his genus had vanished,
that the great magician wand was broke
that genius gave lis last flicker as he
noted down the melancholy lines in which
he bewailed the winter of his discomfort,
he went, we are told, to the window, and
gazing at the heavy sky and thick-fall-
ing snow, composed the fine motto for
one of the chapters Of Count Robert of
Paris"
The storm increases-'tis no sunny shower
Fostered in the moist breast of March or April,
Or such as parch summer cools his lips with
Heavens windows are hung wide; the inmost
deeps
Call in hoarse greeting one upon another;
On comes the flood in all Its foaming horr ors
AND where s the dixie shall stop lty
There one sees what the feelings of
genius are when the chord which used to
vibrate so triumphantly is struck and no
resonance, no response only dead silence
| ollows. It is not sorrow for departed
fame, for probably SCOTS fame was neve
greater than it was after the power to com
mand fame had vanished. Yet we suspect
that he would willingly have exchanged all
his fame for lone crowded hour of glor-
| ious life, such as those of which he had
had SO ample an experience. 1t is not, as
Mr.. Marion Crawford thinks, vanity which
pervades the world of genius, though
vanity has its full share of that world
| Still, the vanity which delights in homage
and notoriety is nothing when compared
with that exalted JOY in commanding the
springs of human sympathy which is often
/ quite as vivid where there is no Difference,
J no conscious homage, as where it abounds,
ana which often fades aN ay in dull despair
long before the homage is withdrawn.
| And it is only genius which learns to
take an overpowering delight in this sort
of response. Mere beauty, and even the
power to tascinate, IN a lesser sphere,
evince just the same sort of passionate
delight In touching the springs of human
emotion. The triumphs of beauty and Of
social charm are, of course, much more
nearly related to the passion of vanity
than the triumphs of genius, for in the
latter case the power of moving men NAV
be sharply severed from the fame and
popularity which that power can bestow;
while in the former case it cannot, and
no man or woman who has been accus-
toned to exercise this power can distin.
euish clearly between tie delight of con-
trolling the springs of human emotion,
and the delight of the personal recogni
ton which results from. commanding them

Greater Than Love

Why do they rave OF love, these poets who
Tempt heavens very airs to hear them rave?
Is there naught else to praise meath heaven :

Naught else to sing above the sounding wave?

What Drawer theme for aye than brave men s

Brave women their whole sex have sanctifed
By gentle courage meath a woman weedsi
Faith toward God and man, and woman, too;
For all who suffer hope and charity!
These are the heaYenliest things beneath the

The noblest themes above the sounding seas!

The best and only thing to do when
your horse is excited is to calm him down.
This is best done by getting to the horses
head and talking to him gently, rubbing
his face and otherwise diverting his atten-

horse is sullen and angry the same treat
ment will be found beneficial. In the high
state of excitement the horse does not

Floods Around Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 27.-The great body
of water that has been collecting in the
Mud Lake region west of the town of
Harvey and southwest of Grand Cross
ing for the last two weeks broke all
barriers Saturday night and Sunday
morning. Yesterday afternoon after
having deluged Dauphin Park and it's
adjacent territory, the flood broke
through the last barrier at Eighty
seventh street and rushed down upon
Grand Crossing. This portion of the
city, with it's factories and it's many
railway crossings, is now practically
submerged. Last night its citi-
zens, surprised and alarmed, could
do nothing but contemplate a
sea of rising water which
was gradually invading all homes
and streets and driving householders
either from their dwellings or to the
second stories. The unIooked-for
waters came upon the town with the
rush of torrent, and by night there
was not less than two feet of water in
the streets. Homes were everywhere
flooded, easements submerged, founda-
tons weakened, and furniture and
other household effects damaged to an
extent not easily computed.
