GRAINS.

Unholy tenn pers are unhappy tenn
pers.
Sarcasm is bright, but it casts 6
shadow.
Truth always lives in a house thai
is built on rock.
Big words often make a poor cloak
cloak for small idea.
Gods laws are never kept until they
are written in the heart.
God wants man to gain in manhood
rather than in possessions.
Be careful of your actions, for they
reveal your character.
1t is when the devil looks least like
a devil that he is most dangerous.
The fact that enemies are loved is
proof that Christ has been on earth.
A disinterested act of kindness is
something the carnal mind cannot ex-
plain.
Man can do everything with : hi m
elf, but he must not attempt to do
90 much with others.
The man who has contentment has
something that will do great deal
more for him than money.
There is no sin so little, but that if
it had the right Of way and time
enough, it would wreck the universe.
God never did, never will, never can
make a mistake. His will and ways
are always right.
Ifa Christians love has any special
value, it ought to be operative at times
when a goddess PERSONS love would
fail.
/ If We could see things as they are
instead of as they seem, we should be
throwing away some things which we
value, and reaching out after some
that now we have no wish for.
When the mind thinks nothing,
when the soul covets nothing and the
body asketh nothing that is contrary
to the will of God, this is perfect
santitication.
Let him who prays suffer not his
tongue to outstrip his heart, nor pre-
sumo to carry message to the throne
of grace while that stays behind.
The true Christian is like the sun,
which pursues his noiseless track and
everywhere leaves the effect of his
beams in blessing upon the world
around him,
All the way iup and down in the
universe, union is strength and divis-
ion il weakness. A family quarrel is
fatal to family life. A household
divided hath its end just ahead.
How prone we are to think that one
whom we dislike is acting in wrong
spirit, when he Is obviously doing
good works! If we cannot deny the
propriety Of his conduct, we can at
least sneer at his motives.
Be very slow to believe that you are
wiser than others; it is fatal but
common error. Where one has been
saved bv iue estimation Of another's
weakness, thousands have been de-
stroyed by false appreciation of their
own strength:

Cleanliness is the key to success in
the poultry business.
A hen is not old until she is aged
five or Six years.. =
1t will pay to spade up a portion of
the poultry yard occasionally.
With the exception of the black
Langshans, all feather-legged fowls
are poor g-producers.
Calves should always be treated
gently. 1t is the only way to make
them docile when they come to be
cows.
Potatoes are the most costly of all
foods in proportion to price, as they
are composed very largely of water.
In feeding for eggs good Judgment
Is required to steer between the two
extremes of insufficient nourishment
and of overfeeding.
Wheat is rich in nutriment, and at
present prices is a good and cheap
feed for horses. Use it sparingly and
mixed with other food. It is cheaper
than oats and better than bran.
The wild cherry tree grows more
rapidly than walnut, it is freer from
insects, and furnishes a larger amount
of mercaDtable lumber, which ranks
next to mahogany in value.
With apples, in nearly all cases, as
soon as the fruit will part readily from
the tree it is ready to be gathered, and
any delay in this is usually done at
the expense of the keeping quality of
the fruit.

To Cure LockJaw.-A writer in
Clark's Horse Review gives his exper-
fence in curing lock jaw, in which he
says If nail is picked up, get it out
of course as soon as possible then get
a half pailful of hot water, as hot as
the horse can possibly stand it, pour in
plenty of, vinegar, also plenty Of salt.
That is all, only it must be so hot that
at first when you put the horses foot
into it he will pull the foot out of the
water, put it in again, and keep doing
80 until you can hold the foot out of
the water, put it in again, and keep on
doing SO until you can hold the foot in
it steadily. Hold it in half an hour or
longer, and repeat again after two
hours. Do this at least four times or
more the first day, and repeat the pro-
cess the next day. In nine cases out
of ten it will save horse. Some one
may say this remedy is no good but
if had valuable horse it is the rem
edy T would try. Nothing will kill
the blood poison quickerif taken in
| time.

Japanese Girls.

In a book entitled Japanese Girls
and Women" an interesting account
of the duties of u daughter in the
family is given.
"If she is the eldest daughter, 10 the
servant she is % 10 Sama,' literally,

GAS she passes from babyhood to
girlhood, and from girlhood to woman
hood, she is the object of much love
and care and solicitude; but she does
not grow up irresponsible, or unframed
to meet the duties which womanhOod
will surely bring to her. She must
take certain responsibility in the
household, must see that tea is made
for the guests, and in all but families
of the highest rank, must serve it.
She must know the proper etiquette o.
the table how to serve carefully anc
neatly.
"She also feels q certain care abou

Honest With Himself.

There was pause, and in that pause

The Love of God.

Like cradle rocking, rocking,
Silent, peaceful, 10 and fro,
Like mothers sweet looks dropping
On the little face below,
Hangs the green earth. swinging, turning,
Iaress, noiseless, safe, and slow,
Falls the light of Gods face bending
Down and watching us below.
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss and cry, and Will not rest,
Are the pes the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best;
So when we are weak and wretched,
BY our sins weighed down, distressed,
Then IL is that Gods great patience
Holds US closest, loves us best.
o. great heart of God whose loving
Cannot hindered be, nor crossed,
Will not weary, will not even
In our death itself be lost.
Love divine! of such great loving
Only mothers know the cost
Cost OF love which, all love passing,
Gave Son to save the lost.

INDIA EXPORTING GOLD.

India has enormous boards of gold,
estimated by competent Judges as being
as great as the gold owned by both
England and the United States. The peo-
pie Of India have few banks, trust com
panies, or any other places In which TO
put their accommodations. so that they
store away at home what they have in
gold and silver. This has been going on
for a long time. so that the amount
of such treasure which its vast popula-
ton has laid up in the course Of ages is
immense. The Statist Of London notes
that India has of late commenced to
export gold in large quantities. This
seems TO us natural result Of the
action OF the British Government year
ago in respect to gold and silver. The
government closed the Indian mints to
the coinage Of silver. except upon the
Governments account At the same
time the Government published a pro-
clamation that a silver rupee would be
given In exchange for two-thirds Of
gold rupee. or three rupees OF silver Tor
two of gold. Whilst silver has cepreciat-
ed one-half In value everywhere else II
has not so deprecated in the interior
Of India. 4 silver rupee will purchase
very nearly as much labor or wheat In
he Interior OF India as it would twenty
years ago, or before the decline III
silver. The Hindu sees thus how he can
make a great profit by selling his gold
He gets a silver rupee for two-thirds
of a gold rupee, which Is In substance
getting forty-eight cents for t1irty-two
cents. since the silver rupee VIII con
tinue TO buy forthy-eight cents worth OF
everything produced in the interior OF
India. while the gold rupee Will buy there
no more than It's face value. This is at
the bottom Of the exports of gold from
India. and The Times predicted that
this would be the result year ago. as
soon as the action Of the English Govern
roent was announced.
