Farm or Professional Life.

The young men of the farm who
are beginning TO entertain thoughts
of a professional education with a
view to become lawyers, or doctors,
teachers or preachers, in order to
avoid the work of the farm, to wear
better clothes, live in finer houses,
60 into politics and enjoy the bus
tie and excitement of the big city
and the greater world, had better
think twice ere they take the first
step that shall wean them from the
presence of healthful and indepen-
dent life. Men who have travelled,
who have seen and know the world
most and best, would like nothing
better than to be able to retire from
the worry, the incessant work, and
the untlring energy called into re-
QUESTION in any one of the profess
sions named, and indeed in any
avocation of, life and go to the
farm with its quiet, calm content
ment and health. Let these young
men fortify themselves now by de-
voting time to study, to think, to
observe and experiment and thus
post themselves and pave the way
for more successful prosecuting the
work of the farm, and they will find
themselves better off as they ap-
proach old age than nine-tenths of
those who leave the farm for a pro-
fessional or city life.-Rural World.

Where Woman IL inyIneIble.

The weakest woman in ali the
world is armed with M weapon
against which mans pride and
strength are powerless. Her tears
will win when all else has failed.
A woman's tears move her own
tender sex, as well AS the sterner
masculine brutes. Old and young
yield to their potential spell, and
when the woman happens to be as
pretty as Mrs. Potter Palmer there
is no telling what will follow when
her bright eyes grow misty with the
messenger from a wounded heart.
1t is folly to attempt to stand Out
against a woman's tears. They
have caused revolutions-they have
made and unmade many a great
calse. They can be met in only
one way-unconditional surrender

DISPLAY OF THEIR WORK.
Prof. Darlington Has ON Exhibition a
Sample of The Work His Many
Pupils Are Doing.

Approaching the fact that all pa
rents are interested in the progress
their children are making at the
Public Schools, and what kind of
educational work they have been do
ing this scholastic year, the efficient
superintendent has placed on ex-
hibition in room thirteen an admir-
able display, the result of their labor.
All who desire may visit the room
and inspect the pupils work. Ii is
interesting to view the manifold ex-
hibits and note the ability of the
scholars. There are good displays
of knowledge in algebra, architec-
ture, arithmetic, botany, chemistry,
history, geography, drawing, gram
mar, geometry, natural history,
writing, rhetoric, zoology and, in
fact, everything taught under the
roof of that famous school building.
We are certain parents will feel
gratified if they will take a look at
these samples of the work their
children are beingtaught.
The young man or young woman
who goes through the Mexico Pub
lie Schools is unquestionably a
learned scholar. The institution is
in every way meritorous of its wide
reputation. The faculty is an able
one indeed; the superintendent is
an educator with every qualification
and his pupils show their tutorship
and aptness in the display in room
thirteen.

SILVER COINAGE TO STOP.
Secretary Carlisle Decides TO DisOntin-
ue Dollar Making for the Present.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Owingto
the small amount of free bullion de-
posted and the heavy expense Of
coinage at the United States mint at
Carson City, New, Secretary Carlisle
has decided to suspend coinage OPP
erations at that mint after June /.
With the suspension of coinage at
Carson City the coinage of silver
dollars will be discontinued for the
present, as there is no demand for
this class of money. Fractional
silver quarters and half dollars are
now being recoined at New Orleans,
San Francisco and Philadelphia
minis and gold at San Francisco
and at PHILADELPHIA.

The Possibilities of Corn.

From the Globe Democrat.
We have all heard" said Glenn
ent F. Carter, who is at the Laclede,
" of how corn is used under certain
conditions for fuel, and | believe
that the time is coming when people
will be able to live almost exclusive
ly on corn and corn products.
The latest triumph in this direction
that comes to my notice is nothing
less than the manufacture of imita-
ton maple syrup and sugar from
corn cobs where corr is raised in
large quantities the cobs are
looked on as a nuisance and |
imagine they can be bought
by the a load at a very small
price, If, however, this latest de-
velopment becomes a success, the
figure is likely to rise rapidly. 1t
has been found that after the cobs
have been boiled long enough, a
liquid is obtained which by
adding a very small portion of sugar
becomes almost as palatable as
maple sugar and which can be evap-
Grated into something which would
pass as very average maple sugar.
With corn capable Of producing
bread, starch, oil, sugar and a doz-
en- other articles the idea of its be-
ing sold under any conditions as
low as twenty cents a bushel seems
idiotic. 1t ought to be worth almost
its weight in gold"

HOW REPULSIVE

Is bad breath, and yet how many
otherwise attractive, polite, and par
ticular people afllict their friends
with the foul odor of their breath.
If there was no remedy for this, il
might excite u sympathy, but as
there is no need Of having a foul
breath, it is an objectionable breach
of good manners to obtrude such an
offence on good society.
Foul breath arises from disorder,
ed digestion which can be corrected
by using Sulphur Bitters, and the
result will be a pure, sweet breath
