the army appropriation blu providing for
a commission to locate an army post on
Puget Sound was adopted and the bill as
amended passed both houses.
Tacoma Hungry Tor the Plum.
Tacoma Is making a strong effort TO
reap the benefit OF the hard work done
by Seattle. An army post committee OF
thu Chamber of Commerce has been Sc
Iected ard offices secured and no stone IS
being Left uztsaped to secure the coveted
plum. The following from the Tacoma
Evening News of last Wednesday shows
the spirit Of the contest over there:
1t Is the proper thing now TO drop into
room oo2 In the Chamber OF Commerce
building and register a pull for the army
post which the Chamber of Commerce and
Congressman Doolittle are trying 10 get
established ln Tacoma. TIE room has
been fitted UP with desk. table and some
chairs. and Marion G. Denton is on hand
to tell you what you don't know about the
army post and to strengthen the general
opinion. which Is growing ala the time
here. that the army post viii be a mighty
good thing for Tacoma. The Chamber of
Commerce people say We must have that
army post and that we are going TO have
1t, too 1t viii spend lot of money in
Tacoma every month.
"on the door OF the room, which IS at
the end of the hall from the G street en-
trance, Is the sign: Army Post Com
mittee' You are not doing the proper
thing unless you call and help whoop 'er
up.'
II remains q mystery how Tacoma can
expect to gain the post In the face OF the
report OF the army engineers and officers.
Mr.. Doollstle's amendment placing the
selection of the Location in the hands of a
committee of officers other than those
stationed at Vancouver can have no eff
feet. INAe fact remains that Seattle has
the best location. for disinterested officers
and engineers have said 50. and. no mat
ter where the new committee halls from,
they cannot but view the situation in the
same light as its predecessors.

nus1NEss OF FOUR sALEsMEN.

The following true story Is related by one
Of the participants in the remarkable incl
dent:
Not long since in a certain New England
city four commercial travellers met for the
arst time at the table. With that genial hon.
homie peculiar to the craft they were soon
engaged In conversation. In q few moments
one of them said:
"Gentlemen. suppose we begin, being all
strangers. with the gentleman opposite me,
10 introduce ourselves and our firms bus1-
ness"
This was unanimously agreed to.
Said No. /: liam -, and represent the
house of K. Y. H., selling glass bottles.
Said No. 2: swell, gentlemen. perhaps It
is no chance that I come next, for represent
P. D. O., lam and sell the stuff that
goes into bottles. 1sell wines and liquors. y
There was a moments silence as No. 8
said: "That, gentlemen, does seem little
strange, but perhaps there Is q fatality about
This l am of the firm OF W. U. s., dealers In
nndertakers' goods"
No. 4 now remained silent. and suggested
that it would be we'll not to pursue the sub
ject further, and that it had been well never
70 have started it.
After much urging to complete the chain
he said: "Gentlemen, tis indeed a fatality.

KEEP FARM RECORDS,

Every farmer is to great extent q
manufacturer, and ought to keep a
record of his operations. This is the
key to success in any business. But
the soil tiller should attend to some
other matters in connection with his
accounts. A map of his farm, with
each field numbered, and its size,
quality of soil. etc., specified, will be
a great aid in keeping track Of the
years transactions. How many farm
ers have such a guide and convent
ence? And how many kept such mem
oranda the past year as will enable
them to tell the expense of each crop
grown? And how about the domestic
animals? If you keep COWS, what
have they paid you per head in the
aggregate? And what Of sheep, swine
and even the chickens? How much
did each contribute to your income,
and which was the most probable?
Those who can answer those peril
nent questions must be well advised in
regard to their financial position, and
need no admonition, but we fear many
are utterly unable to give any detailed
account of their farming operations,
OF whether the balance is on the right
or wrong side of the ledger. 1t is
needless to say that such management
would soon wreck any commercial en-
terprise, and hence the frequent com
plant that farming don't pay" is not
surprising. What we write is intended
to be suggestive rather than admoni.
tory. Keep an accurate account OF
your doings, and you will not only be
wiser, but ere long richer in conse.
quence. In fact, resolve that you will
know how you stand at the close OF
another veal. Southern Farm.

RELIGIOUS READING.

Many thousands Of Christians have spent
the weeks of midsummer away from thelr
homes in rural districts. Every one OF them
is by profession missionary. What tnlS
might mean If all had done the WORK OF
missionary from the love OF 1t ls more tnan
can be computed. What it does mean Is, no
doubt, large factor in the religious CROWN
of our land. Country life, ana especia'iy
farm life, is to large extent isolated, IL Is
dull. There is little to stimulate ambition.
Farmers are independent thinkers. capable
of appreciating the ablest efforts OF pulpit and
platform, but without much in ordinary times
to rouse their minds or symPathles. lhelr
families often hunger for justine new interest
which the coming OF summer guests into the
town brings to them.
When that visit means the coming OF the
fragrance of Christian life and devotion. IL
Is in effect a religious revival. The church
is the center of social interest. But for it the
loneliness would often be beyond endurance.
Their minds are freshened, hearts kindled In
sympathy, healthful associations cultivated.
New faces appearing there lit up with love to
Christ new voices in song and testimony,
new acauaintances made mean new lille 70 the
community. From these country places
have come many of the men and women
who are among the brightest ornaments OF
public and business and social lie; NO
where does the salt OF the edrtu iilan0 NO
SAVIOR more manifest than through the Chris,
tian life and worship OF guests in the small
churches in these summer months .,
Their good influence should not end with
vacation. A message sent back now and then
during the coming winter will be almost as
valuable in the prayer meeting as personal
visit. A book or other healthful gilt to the
pastor, a letter to one of the Sunday school
teachers, share in the holiday festivities
NAV be a labor of love which will long bear
fruit. If the great apostle Paul had not been
so deeply interested in the churches he had
visited large part of the New Testament
would not have been written. The oDportu-
mites of vacation have not yet ended. The
Christian life Of our country needs greatly
the interchange of thought and sympathy for
which these animal migrations give opportu-
nifty and needs to have II maintained through
out the year.

LIFE WHAT WE MAKE IT.

1t is possible to mourn. and yet not re-
pine; to be sad, aad yet not unhappy; to
carry solemn memories, AMI still be Joyous
and useful. Life is largely what We make 1t.
We may call back images OF bliss and glad
ness, and thank God that such felicity was
once ours. thereby sweeten'ng the present
moment with the pleasures of bygone days.
But we must not always be looking back. II
we do, we are almost sure to go as we look.
We must turn our vision sometimes to the
future. and try to carve out from what !"

God has promised that the reign OF sorrow
shall end. God shall wipe away tears from

weeping. but God can soothe u.s. Shall VIC

Us with His own Joy, and to make US spirit

THE pIEssEpSEss OF WORK.

If you would have sunlight in your home see
that you have work in il. Nothing makes mo-
roseness and heavy-heartedness in house so
fast as idleness. The very children
gloom and sulk if they are left
with nothing to do. If all have their work,
they havo not only their own joy in creating
thought, in making thought into form, in
driving on something to completion. but they
have the joy Of ministering to the movement
of the whole house when they feel that what
they do is part of living whole. That in
itself is sunshine.
The morning IL bright with the knowledge
.,f how much has to be done. The midday
walk is looked forward TO; the hour of rest
or play is true joy; the evening hour, when
all that has been done is talked over, is de-
lightful; and sleep, 'sore labor's bath, Is
only another piece of pleasant work. All
EYES in that household look forward, all its
members are bright, all honor one another.
Every day there is the light of something
conquered in the eyes of those who work.
Time, the great shadow, takes substance,
walks as friend with those who work, and
he is a charming companion when we make
him out Of ghost into reality. In such
house il there be also the good temper Of
love, sunshine never ceases.

RE NOT AFRAID TO DIE.

Be not anxious when you shall die: God
will care for that Do your work, and leave
the future to Christ. Be not sorrowful or
fearful at the thought Of death. There are
many Christians troubling themselves and
saying, Gam ready to die?' That Is not
the question. Are you ready to live? Have
you Christ in you, the hope of glory? II
Christ be in you, He will take care OF you.
Live for him and all will be well in the dying
hour. Whether you die at home or abroad Is
a very little matter; whether you die in the
midst of friends or Of enemies Is OF small ac-
count. Live for Jesus, and He will never for
get you. If you live for the world it may
quit you; if you live for wealth it may take
to itself wings, and you may die in poverty !;
II you live for fame, men may turn against
you; if you live for pleasure, your ability to
enjoy it may pass away and your senses grow
dim If you live for the plazy dance, your teet
may be unable to move; you may love the
sound of the viol but the ear can no longer
hear; If you live for the beautiful, your sense
of sight may fail you; If you live for children
they may be smitten down and leaveyou des.
olate, or, what is far worse, they may desert
you, and leave you worse than childless In
cold and unfeeling world; if you live for any
joy Of earth. you may be forsaken; but, oh!
live for Jesus, aud he will never forsake you.

WINTER DAIRY1NG.

In European countries dairying in
the winter months is made profitable
and the milk kept pure and of excel
lent flavor by the use of roots for
feed, especially mangels and sugar
beets, but in this country dairymen
are trying ensilage as substitute for
root crops. Where corn can be stored
in silos for this purpose it will prove
to be much cheaper than roots, but
whether the ensilage will make as
sweet butter is still an open question.
Some dairymen allege that the ensil-
age is the better feed, but others have
not found it so in practice. 1t is
quite probable that the difference in
results is due to the quality of the en-
silage, and when properly stored it
does not flavor the milk, or if only
used as part of the ration along with
grain and good sound hay or other
form of dry fodder. !
