The Happy Farmer,

What Farmers happy when they
are getting so little for their products,
when every year they have to be more
economical, when every thing seems to
be against them? Yes, we do believe
in spite of all these things that farming
is the best and happiest occupation.
Go into the houses of the middle classes
in cities and large towns and you will
find multitude of discomforts of
which farmers know nothing. In the
city there are small, close, crowded
rooms, high rents or higher taxes, and
calls for money on every hand. The
dust, noise, lack of privacy, the many
enemies of real home life are con-
slant evil of city life, and workmen are
in large measure at the mercy of their
employers. Take the sultry days Of
midsummer and contrast the swelter-
ing masses in the great cities with those
who enjoy the pure, sweet air, the
pleasant shade and the beautiful seen

to their daily toll compare the faces
you see in and around the cities and
centers of trade with the faces of a
group of farmers. Those who imagine
that the farm is an evil place should
spend a few days in some large city,
and they will soon learn their mistake.
Isolation and quiet are great blessings,
and the evils attendant upon hem are
far less than the numberless evils OF
city life. Much of the unhappiness OF
farm life is owing to causes which Can

A MORAL AND NICE BOOK.
What Young Lady Thought of the New
 Testament.

What a Young Lady Thought of the New
 Testament.
 It was once the good fortune of a Harper's Bazar writer to read, in the island of Fayal, a letter just written by a young lady of Portuguese-English birth who had been reading the New Testament for the first time It was worth while to see such letter, for many persons must have felt, first or last, with Thoreau, that it would be a delightful thing for anyone to cncoun- ter those wonderful narratives as "a fresh discovery, in maturer years, apart from all the too familiar associa- tions of Sunday school and sermon Such, as any rate, was this young lady's experience, and her statement of the result was at least little astonish- ing She wrote, in her haif-foreign English, to an American friend in these words. "Dld you ever happen to read a book called the New Testament? If not, I advise you to do so. I have just been reading it one of these days, and I find it a very moral and nice book"

ABOUT BITTER MILK.
Usually Caused by Ill-Heaith and Poor
 Condition of the Blood.

Condition of the Blood.
 Several readers have written com blaming that the milk of their COWS is bitter after standing few hours CT a single day and that the feed used is of the best, clean and wholesome. Some of the cows have been in but a few months others will be fresh within three months.
 Cows that have been in but few months, are properly fed, have pure water, free access to all the salt they wish and give milk that is bitter with out being tainted by contact with out side surroundings, may be in ill-health which affects the condition of the blood.
 The best remedy for this trouble if produced by the blood being out of con- dition is to give pound of sulphate of soda (glauber salts) or of sulphate of magnesia (epsom salts), dissolved in warm water, by means of a common drenching horn or long-necked bottle; and after this has operated, daily dose of one ounce of hyposulphite of soda may be given with good results, for two weeks.
 This latter is readily taken, by most cows, when powdered and sprinkled over a mess of scalded bran or in other feed.-Western Rural.

SURVIVAL OF BARBARITY.

It Is Manifested in the Modern Love for
 Jevclry aJ,d Ornaments.
 Personal adornments made out of money current in this and other realms rank with fish bones thrust through noses as . guide for forming an opinion as to the degree and kind of cultivation possessed by the wearer, says the New York Times. Antique coins at the end of a mans watch chain, or as links in a woman's girdle, are not altogether ob- jectionable, but the withdrawal of quarter eagles or whole sovereignS from general circulation for use in the decoration of either public bar-rooms or private waists, can only result from a survival of savage instincts. Every instance of it offends numberless canons of good taste and more than sev- eral canons of ordinary morality. Hence it is possible to reflect with tolerable equanimity, and even with a certain grim joy, upon the loss just sustained by much bewritten and apparently more admired visitor to our town and stage, of fifteen British gold pieces and thirty-five American ones These she was taking, it seems, not sedately and properly to savings bank, but in clear violation of esthetic laws to jewellers shop, there to be cunningly united into a most barbarous zone. That some guardian divinity made impossible this purposes accomplishment is thorough ly and wholly well. The coins, indeed, are lost, and they had intrinsic value, being gold, and sentimental meaning, being marked with the initials of for mer owners, but for advertising uses they remain as effective as before. Neither the kindly youth, whose mu- nifcence they recorded, nor the sprightly nymph, whom they (the coins) were tenderly to embrace, will lan- guish unremarked.

A PRETTY STORY.
Friendship That Sprang Up Between a
 Bison and Deer.

Bison and Deer.
 The bison of India has never been kept long in captivity, except in the case of one bull, which is now in the possession of his highness the mahara- jah of Mysore.
 How this bull came to survive, when so many of his fellows had succumbed. is very pretty story. It is related by the author of Gold, Sport and Coffee Planting in Mysore, who took it down from the lips of his neighbor, Mir. Park, who. captured the animal, and was knowing to all the details of the story
 When captured the bull was supposed to be about three days old. A week afterwards a young doe sambur, pur- sued by jungle dogs, ran into laborer's s cottage, and was made prisoner.
 It was decided to keep the deer as a companion for the bison, and the two were accordingly kept together, though never shut up.
 They were fed on milk and then al lowed to graze, and soon became insep- arable. They were fed at twelve o'clock and at four in the afternoon, and seemed to know their feeding time ex- actly.
 When the bison was two years old it was thought time to fit him with nose rope. He was tied to tree, his nose bored, and he was liberated He ran all about the grounds, and then, for the first and only time, he was heard to below.
 After this he was regularly led out to graze. The sambur would sometimes remain behind, but seemed to have no difficulty in finding him, but, putting her nose to catch the scent, would start at once in the right direction.
 The bison had no such power, and if ever he missed his companion would go wandering about till he found her.
 When the bull was three years old he was presented to the maharajah and was sent off to the nearest railway sta tion-some sixty miles away.
 The doe soon noticed his absence, held up her nose as usual, got the di- rection, and, when the bull was five or six miles away, she overlook him. He showed the most extreme delight, and the two travelled happily together to Mysore.
 Mr. Park saw the bull in 1891, and two or three years afterwards Mir. Elliot was glad to learn that the bison and the deer were still inseparable companions and both in excellent health
 He believes that the bull would long ago have pined away and died but for the society of the doe.

This Cannot Be Disputed.

A good road is the main artery of traffic A village whose approaches are accessible and well kept is bound to thrive. A poor road at once brands the country wherein it exists as retro gressive or bankrupt and not worth traversing.-Sidney Hackes, Melrose, New York City.

But, notwithstanding they are new in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the 'Sound Money Doctrine of President Cleveland and his cuckoos which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence !of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.

now come out in favor Of that measure.
The Democratic party must be done
with free coinage. II drove from IT'S ranks
many OF its lifelong members. and many
others who voted with the party organic
cation were, and are, opposed to free
coinage. They voted under protest, and
will not willingly DO so again.
The issue was fairly joined. and free
silver was forever defeated. 1t IS useless
FOR Mr.. Bryan TO say that the cause lost
nothing, ana that It will succeed in 1900
II has done the Democratic party great
harm. and If persisted in viii bring 1t

In this connection, the New York
World prints some figures of the same
character as those recently quoted by

but the World does not make MI Bryan's
vote in the South as large as the
Constitution made il. 1t says:
In the thirteen Southern States-Vir-
ginia, Kentucky Missouri. North Caro-
lima. South Carolina. Georgia. Florida
Alabama, Tennessee. Mississippi Louis
lana, Arkansas and Tcxas-the Democrats
poled 1,Ngsfl3 votes. In 1882. the Demo-
Gratis polled 1851 1876 and the Popunsts

the Fopulist vote went TO the Democrats

spite of the natural increase of the vot-

ual interest taken by all classes of voters

Bryan's loss was 1i992. while Mckinley's
gain was % i26. But while the loss to
Bryan was 1892. the net loss In Demo-
cratic votes was much larger. The Pop
ulists voted for Bryan. and Congressman
Swanson thinks that their total vote in
Virginia I'm the late election was 1900.
II Is certainly safe to say that the vote
OF the Populists free silver Republicans.
Prohibitionsts and other silver people
outside Of the Democratic party. who
voted for Bryan, was as much as 1900.
and deducting this from the total Bryan
vote Of l5A9s5. we have a Democratic
vote OF 1895. a net loss Of 1882. Ac-
cordng TO these figures. the real Demo-
cratic majority in Virginia was in 1896
only 1881. That isn't much OF a victory
