THE DIFFERENCE.
Cesuty lies within ourselves,
After all, they say


Beauty lies within ourselves,
After all, they say
And, be sure, the happy hesrs
Makes the happy day.
In n cool and shady garden
Phyllis sat. The roses scent
Famed face whereon were writtei
Restlessness and discontenti
Lilies nodded, bluebells tlnkle1,
Birds sang sweetly in the trees;
Merry talk and joyous laughter
Sounded on the summer breeze.
"Oh, sighed Phyllis, II am stllingi"
And she raised her pretty head.
81 am sure It's going to shower
What horrid day" she said.
In warm and dusty city
Janey, pinched and wan and whit@
Leaned against heated building,
Longing for the cool Of night.
Suddenly she spied foweret,
Pale and slender, Mt her feet.
"Oh!" she cried, and stopped to pluck It;
Looking up in RAPTURE sweet
Through the crowded house-tops, Jancy
Caught glimpse OF blue o'erhead;
And she kissed the little posy-
"What lovely day she said.
Beauty lies within ourselves,
After all. they say;
And the glad and happy heart
Makes the happy day.

Masts and Rigging.

Each Of the three masts of all but very
small vessels consists of n number of sticks
one above another. The heel Of the top
mast comes little below the "hcad" Of
the lower mast and is secured by n cap
"A sort Of iron band, and bar, called a
"fid. Above the topmast comes the top
gallant mast, and above that the royal
mast.
The running rigging consists of ropes
used in handling the yards and sails, and
every rope has distinguishing name.
Halyards are ropes used to hoist yards and
sails. Braces are ropes used to swing the
yards around by.
To the beginner the names of ropes are
apt To be very confusing Old salts are
fond Of spinning yarn about a lad who
wanted TO go to sea until he heard that the
fore topgallant studding sail boom tricing
lining thimble block mousing was the
name Of about the smallest bit Of rope on
board ship, when he at once concluded that
such being the case he could never expect
TO master the name Of the largest rope and
consequently decided to become farmer.

REV. nv. CHILD ORDAINED.

An ecclesiastical council OF Congrega-
tlonal churches convened at the Con-
gregational church, Tuesday afternoon,
for the purpose of examining Rev. b.
V. Child as 10 his fitness and ability TO
become Congregational minister with
all the rights and privileges accorded
the clergy in their church economy.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Child received
call from this church to become its
pastor and graduated at Oberlin col
lego after accepting.
The Council met at 2:30 o'clock and
was called to order by Rev. III. Marsh,
of Edmore. f. Rutan, of Greenvllle,
was elected scribe. a roll call of
churches found the following represent
ed: Fenwick, Pastor G. l.. Preston,
delegate Peter Rinker; Lansing, Pas
tor First Congregational church G. +.
Swift, ]. r. Sanderson; Greenville,
Rev. Chas. Spooner, + Rutan: Port
land, Rev. c. w. Bird; Stanton, Rev.
G.. w. Burns Edmore, Rev. II. Marsh.
Rev. G. w. Burns was elected mod
orator, who opened the business of the
council with fervent prayer. Records
of the church meeting regarding the
call for the council and also the letters
containing the call of the pastor and
his acceptance, were read by G. a..
George. the church clerk, and passed
upon by the members.
Mr.. Child was then called to a seat
in front of the altar and rigid exam
ination and cross examination of his
faith and belief was entered into. He
believed he was called to the ministry
and gave short account of his exper-
fence along that line and also for his
preferences to the Congregations doc
trine. He withstood the trying ordeal
and answered promptly all questions
put to him.
The council retired for consultation
and voted unanimously to confer upon
him the rite of ordination. The SER
vice closed in the evening with fine
sermon by Rev c. w. Swift, of Lans-
ing.

The Turkey stopped the Train.

Swarms OF locusts are we'll known to
have stopped railway trains, but up to
this time it wis probably never heard that
a single turkey had power TO accomplish
that feat How it was done, In Oxford
Pa, is described In the Philadelphia Led
ger
The engine was putting hard on an up
grade and passed under an overhanging
limb of a large tree in front OF farm
house. On the limb were several turkeys
at roost The exhaust steam was so
strong that it knocked a hen turkey from
her perch, and she came down upon the
bellrope
The bell rang, and the engineer brought
the train to "a halt. Then of course the
conductor FASTENED forward to know what
was the matter, and one of the train
hands discovered the bird still fitting
upon the rope and giving utterance to
notes which, it is fair TO presume, were
expressive of surprise
The men set up roar, the bird took
wing, and the engine again began to puff.

His story outdoes Munchausen.

While storming the first line of forts at

Twenty fourth regiment raised his rifle TO
fire at an unusually conspicuous China
man just as he was about to fire bullet

and marvellous to relate, entered the bar

as IL the muzzles had been placed mouth
TO mouth. OF course there was an explo-
sion and the soldiers piece was shattered
to the stock but without his receiving any
injuries whatever. A fractional variation
to the right or left would have caused the
hostile bullet to enter lbs head or face, SO
that his escape was nothing short of mi
raculous He preserved the stock of the
now useless weapon and afterward exhib-
tied it to his colonel, who permitted him

We are accustomed to consider our
selves in advance of the rest of the
world in invention and labor saving de-
vices. In one thing, however, France
is ahead of us. A few days ago race
from Paris to Bordeaux was announced
between horseless road carriages.
Twenty-Five vehicles took part, none of
them propelled byhorses or men. Some
were propelled by steam, some by
naphtha, and some by kerosene. Con-
trary to what might have been expect
ed, perhaps none made use of electri-
city. The race was run over the or
binary country roads, and was in all
respects "a success. Besides proving
that the French are ahead of us in one
thing the race demonstrated the fact
of the practicability of the self propell-
ing wagons, and illustrated the benefits
of good roads

The LaGrange Standard says: 1--WE
would suggest to people who have been
kindly treated by their friends and
neighbors that there is no necessity of
any card of thanks in the newspapers.
1t is hardly treating these neighbors

such public notice of their duty, which,
though it may be appreciated by the
afflicted it is hardly appropriate to
advertise. The practice is entirely OBJ
solete in most places, and would better
be in all. -

Lack of Organized Force.

Congressman Hainer, of Nebraska,
in a very pertinent speech before the
National Dairy Uuion, at Washington.
said that he had learned one thing in
Congress, and that was that there was
almost a total lack of organization
among the Dairymen of the United
States in favor of laws against adul-
teration of dairy products. What a
comment that is upon the citizenship
of dairymen. Ask any man among
them if he is in favor of such laws
and he will answer yes. Ask him if
he has done anything practical to i'm
press his opinion on the law makers,
whether in CONGRESS- or his own state.
and not one in thousand will answer
yes.
No wonder that Bynum. of Indiana,
and host of other Congressman will
fight the Grout bill or any other bill
that interferes with their friends. the
cleo combine 1t is because cleo COM
bine is organized and the dairymen
are not. 1t is because the cleo men
viii spend thousands upon thousands
of dollars to destroy the dairy inter
est. while the dairvmen stand indiffer-
ent. The cleo men are practical the
dairymen are impractical. The cleo
men hire lobbyists by the score to
block the progress of all legislation
against them. VIII the dairymen pay
the small sum of one dollar to help
the National Dairy Uuion? 1t seems
to us that not to do this is unwise and
unpatriotic.
There are 3 simple ways for every
dairyman to make himself effective:
l. He shoulu write postal card
to his member Of congress and to each
of the senators of his state. asking
them TO support the Grout bill. Ask
them to defend you against fraud
and counterfeit.
2. Also write a postal card to your
member of the state assembly and
senate calling for state laws against
this fraud. 1t is the number of atoms
in this postal card snow storm that
will tell Every farmer can add to
its weight. Don't fail to do it.
}. Send the small sum of one dol
lar to the National Dairy Union to
help make up the sinews of war in
this fight. Do this all over the land
and the butter counterfeiters will
hear something drop inside the next
so days. If you wish, send your con-
tribution to Hoard's Dairyman, Fort
Atkinson, Wis, and we will acknow-
ledge receipt of same and forward it
to the treasurer. Do all three of these
things and thus organiZe.-Hoard' 5
