Anew Jersey farmer sells IS, 900 quarts

an advertisement for Jersey cows, and a
great recommendation for the pump.

Things that will wear are not to be
had cheap. Whether it be a fabric or
principle, if it is to endure. it must cost
something. Glitter, tinsel, brilliant COL
oring. may all be had without much ex-
pense; but if we would have strength,
tirmness and permanence, we must pay
for them.
1t is little use for the local editor to
waste his lungs and sprain his spine in
trying to boom his town when the citi-
zens all stand around with their hands in
their pockets and wait indifferently for
something to turn up. If the capitalists
or the business men do not put their
shoulders to the wheel and do a little
boosting, it is useless for the editor to
try to boom things. He can write
boom" articles till he gets baldheaded,
but if the citizens themselves do not take
hold and push, the town will forever
stick in the mud. OF what use is it for
the local paper to suggest Improvements
and new enterprises if the suggestions
are never acted upon? One man cannot
boom town. 1t requires the concerted
action of ali the citizens. When one
man shoulders town and attempts to
carry it there are always lot of cranky
kickers who are always ready to jump
on top of the load. Unity of action is
what knocks.-Hume Qll.) Record.
A minister in a neighboring town gives
one of his brethren the following advice.
1t is probable the minister does not
speak as of a matter of faith but of ex-
perimental knowledge. I'VE hereby
warn our brother that those bladder
wheeled bicycles are devices of the de-
mon of darkness. They are contrivances
to entrap the feet of the unwary and
skin the nose of the innocent. They are
full of guile and deceit. When yon think
YOU have broken one to ride and have
subdued its wild and satanic nature. be-
hold it bucketh you off the road and
teareth hole in your parts Look not
upon the bicycle when it blcateth up its
wheels, for at last it bucketh like a
broncho and hurteth like thunder Who
hath skinned legs? Who hath bloody
noses? Who hath ripped breechess
They that daily long with diabolcal
bicycle"
Ever since New Orleans was visited
by snow storm last winter, on the
14th of February, when eight inches
of the frozen crystals were piled up
in the streets of this city, almost any
vagary Of the weather may be expect
ed, and when the weather service re-
ports that for days past throughout
the Northern States, from st. Louis
north to the Canada line. and east 10
the Atlantic Ocean. the temperature
ranged up to 100 degrees Of Fahren-
heit, and never less than 80, there is
nothing astonishing in the statement.
The Gulf States were not in this heat
ed region. In all that time, when the
people far to the north were aweltering
under tropic heats and were falling in
the streets from sunstroke by the score,
the dwellers of the Gulf States, and
particularly along the coast. were en-
joying delightful sea breezes, with a
temperature in the eighties in the day
time and down in the seventies at night.
Decidedly for the present the people in
This latitude want to stay at home for
comfort.-N. o. Picayune.
