Missionaries and Rum

Ambiguous language often gets the
public speaker as we'll as writer into
trouble. This fact was illustrated at
one of the Cohoes churches Sunday
morning. The preacher was discours-
ing on missionary work in Africa and
was reviewing some Of the difficulties
which confront the missionary to the
dark continent. In this connection he
took occasion to inveigh loudly against
the rum traffic among the natives, as
sorting it did more harm than the mis-
sionary could do good. why" said
the preacher, "forty barrels Of rum are
sent to Africa to every missionary"
OF course the real meaning of the good
man was obvious, but nevertheless q
smile went around the church.-Troy

NOT so EASY AS LOOKS.

The Endeavor to Get Married IL
Chilled BY Legal Requirements.
To get married seems an easy thing
to the young man whose fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love. But when ii
.omes to the actual ceremony there are
| I thousand and one terrOrs which sur
round and threaten to overcome him.
Marriage in most States is easy; in
others it is as difficult as obtaining q
divorce.
A well-known Philadelphia was
about to be married to a beautiful
young woman who lived in the State
Of Delaware. He had no idea that the
marriage laws Of that State were of
an appalling nature. He had secured
his license and thought that was all
that was necessary.
Have you filed your bond, yet?"
said some one to him the day before the
wedding.

"Your bond" repeated the question

ried in this State has to file bond for
the protection or the State.
The bridegroom was rather dubious,
but was finally persuaded that this was
fact
I'll see lawyer about it in the
morning." said he. So he went to q
friend who was a legal light and said:

before. What kind Of bond is it?''
"Oh, any real estate will do"
"But haven't any real estate"
The lawyer looked at him moment.
Then he solemnly said:
Haven't you any friends who own
property"
"None that l care to ask to bind it
up that way. 1 can't ask my brides
relatives, you know"
His friend looked at him pityingly.
"You can't postpone the wedding, can
you?"
"What! fairly shrieked the unfOrtu-
nate.
"Qf course not, of course not" said
the legal light sOOthingly But the poor
bridegroom looked stricken.
"I'll tell you what I'll do, old man.
I'll tend to the matter for you. Don't
give yourself any more concern about
it."
The young tO-be-married
then grasped his hand. He could not
speak for a moment, and then he pour

No Profit in Wheat Growing.


The Commissioner of Agriculture Of
North Dakota has compiled some inter-
esting matter in regard to wheat grow
ing in that State. His figures show that
a net profit was realized in 1891 Of
S1O.9S1a per acre and in 1892 the pro-
fits fell to $2.13k1a, while in 1898 the loss
per acre was 1917 cents. The prices for
the different years at the railroad sta
lions were respectively IA cents, 500
cents and 500 cents per bushel. The
estimates for 1894 are not given, but
at the lower prices which prevailed the
loss must have been greater than the
preceding year. The liberal profit for
1891 was of course due to the heavy
yield per acre that year, but with an
average yield there would nave been a
margin in the business for the pro-
Queer. North Dakota may be taken as
fairly representative district Of the
great wheat growing country of the
Northwest. If wheat is grown at a
loss in that State there is no place in
this country that it can be grown at a
profit. 1t would be only natural to sup
pose that lands suited to the cultiva-
ton of other crops would be utilized in
other directions when wheat growing
has ceased to be profitable. In this
there may be a possibility Of removing
to certain extent the competition In
our markets Of the cheap wheat of the

The Innocent Girl with the Silky
Curl Suffered Too.
She-the pretty girl with the silky
curls and sweet blue eyes-had clasped
her hands together, pursed her mouth
up into an expression Of happiness
and declared that sleigh ride was the
acme of bliss. He, poor man, had had
q cutter bequeathed to him by a rela-
tive who most generously died, but who
forgot to include a horse with his gift.
And the poor mans purse was not as
fat as purses sometimes are; so he felt
quite downhearted.
But one day, when his heart was es-
pecially sad-for only the night before
she of the silky curls had again dilated
on the joys of the sleigh ride-he heard
of great bargain.
So the young man with a slim purse
Immediately purchased the bargain,
hitched the bargain to the cutter and
drove away to the home Of the lady Of

FOrmic Acid for Foul Brood.
Gleanings In Bee Culture recommends
the use Of fOrmic acid as an antiseptic
In the beehive. This acid is an excel
lent antiseptic. Thanks to it, honey
preserves itself for long time. There
has been found in Dresden honey un-
der the caves Of house that is sup
posed to date back to the fifteenth cen
fury. This age is only guess work, and
is undoubtedly mistake. Mice or other
vermin would destroy honey long before
that time. The slangy word Rats
appears to apply to such a statement.
But formic acid diluted with water and
placed in the hives is used in Europe
to prevent the growth of foul brood.
This formic acid is not taken from
fruits or flowers, but is a natural pro-
duct generated in the bee. 1t Is also
found still more plentifully in ants, and
the word derives its name from them.
It Is the odor of fQrmic acid which is
given off when either bees or ants are
crushed. 1t is said to make bees cross
to crush any Of their number, which is
natural enough, without supposing that

Convenience in the Kitchen.


A handy continuance for the kitchen
sink may easily be arranged that will
prove indispensable to the housekeeper
who has once tested it's merits. Not
every kitchen can be supplied with all
modern improvements and not every
housekeeper has the means to possess
them, but anyone can procure this. and
it will pay for it's slight cost in a short
time.
Almost all sinks are too small for
convenience, and their proportions can
be increased by placing at one end a
board Of the width of the sink and
about two and one-half feet in length,
letting one end rest upon the sink and
the other on bracket in the wall, or
other arrangement that may be con-
venient. Have the end farthest from
the sink slightly raised so that all wa
ter will quickly drain off into the sink.
Then have a narrow rim of board
fastened around the edges Of three
sides, and two or three shallow grooves
cut into the shelf so that the water
will drain where it is desired instead
Of running off at various angles and
wetting the floor. AS the dishes are
washed place them on this shelf, and
when they are done the hot water may
be quickly poured over them and i'm
mediately drained off. If the sink is
near the range this shelf may be al
lowed to extend nearly or quite to the
edge of the range, and it will be found
convenient for many uses besides the
dish washing.

The small pieces and crumbs can be
