Things That I Have Seen.


A well-known writer in the American
Agriculturalist says
have seen farmer build house so
large the sheriff turned him out Of doors.
have seen young man sell good
farm, turn merchant, and die in an insane
hospital.
l have seen farmer travel about SO
much that there was nothing at home worth
looking after
have seen a rich's mans son begin
where his father left of, and end where
his father began-penniless.
have seen young girl marry young
man of dissolute habits, and repent it as
long as she lived,
have seen the extravaganza and folly
Of children bring their parents to poverty
and want, and themselves into disgrace.
have seen prudent, industrious wife
retrive the fortunes Of family, when her
husband pulled at the other end of the
rope
have seen a young man who despised
the counsel of the wise and advice of the
good end his career in poverty and wretch
edness
l have seen man spend more in folly
than would keep his family in comfort and
independence.
1 have seen man depart from the TRUTH
when candor and veracity would have
served him a much better purpose.
have seen a man engage in lawsuit
about very triaing affair that cost him
more in the end than would have rooted
all the buildings on his farm.

Pay Your Little Debts.

1t should be the aim of every one at
this special period to use every exertion to
pay their small Indebtedness, whether it
be to the butcher, the baker, the grocer,
the tailor, the dress maker, or any Others
coming under this line of tradesmen. This
is not only matter of strict justice with
those with whom we dealt is a most
pleasureable relief from responsibilities, a
performance of conscientious duty that af-
fords happiness to him who pays as well as
to those who receive
Pay as you go is sound principle
of home life or of business, either in or
out of the household. If you must make
debts be sure you know that you win have
the funds to liquidate hem; but at all
events do not owe those who supply you
with your food and rniment when the first
of the New Year comes around.
Little sums they may be, but to those
you owe they may mean great deal. 1t
enables the latter to settle with the whole
salers and enables them to keep in good
credit. 1t gives you good name in your
neigbOrhood and inspires confidence that
must add to your stature and influence.
Pay every little debt you owe, and see
how you enliven the countenance Of those
with whom you deal. Feel so, that all
you eat and all you wear during the year
is your own, if it is even the scantiest crust
of bread or that which you have on your
back is the meaneSt garment. Do not
have the reputation that you are living off
Of other people, for it is well to understand
that the world only owes those living
who earn it. If you do not earn it you
are living at the expense of those who do,
and if you are physically and morally
capacitated to fill such place, you are re-
fusing burden and in disgrace. Try then
during the new year to shun extravaganza,
live prudently, work industnously and pay
as you go.

Simply for that, answered his wife,

struck her. had she not stood before him
so fearless, so strong, so scornful. But
her aspect cowed him, and he contented
himself with string of coarse abuse

vile words. ''Bob was married to good,
true man, who loves her and will make
her happy. All that / aimed at is now

Threat Troubles.

Ifpeople would only remember to breathe
through the nose; if only they would think
for moment of the functions Of the nose,
would have scarcely anything to do in
my profession, said a well-known throat
and ear specialist to me the other night
eyes Free nasal breathing is the es-
sential of healthy throat. The nose is
the medium made by nature to transmit
the air to the lungs, its passages are pro-
vided with a slight growth of hair, which
acts as a sieve in purifying the air we
breathe These hairs collect the dust par
ticles, and because of the natural supply
of moisture in the nose the air is sufficient
ly dampened in passing through not to
irritate the lungs and throat.
''0n the other hand, people who breathe
through the mouth will always have a dry
parched throat, and are sure to be victims
of hoarseness, and sooner or later will suf-
fer from lung trouble.
''It is the natural outcome of the misuse
of natures organs of respiration. 1t is
true that singers breathe through the
mouth, but it is only while singing that
they resort to this method Of breathing,
and it is done only and solely because suf-
ficient breathe cannot be taken into the
lungs at single inspiration to balance the
great smaqpt given out in the production
of the singing tone. The demand is very
great and the supply must be equal to the
demand for singing production. On the
other hand, no one has ever seen thor
oughbred singer, while exercising other
than the voice, use his or her mouth for
the purpose of breathing. This saves the
throat from becoming excessively dry, a
natural result of which is hoarseness, and
keeps the passages to the lungs well pro-
tected from dust and microbes of disease,
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1896-01-18
PROGRESS of the bicycle.

Hardware" has solicited the opinions
of the leading bicycle manufacturers Of the
country as to the number of bicycles manu-
factured in America during 1895, and the
probable output for 1896. The responses,
which are from the leading manufacturers
of the country, place the output for 1895
anywhere from 400, 900 to $50, 900, and
that Of 1896 from 600, 900 to l, 900, 600.
A fair average of these opinions would
bring the prophecy for 1896 10 near 750, :
900 wheels. The general opinion is that
prices viii remain about the same as 1895,
The fear is expressed by some manufactur
e.s that the business will be overdone,
more especially in the cheaper grades, al
though production viii be restricted some
what by the inability to obtain material,
No fear is expressed in any quarter OF
there being any falling of in the demand
because of waning interest Of the public,

A Happy Home.


If we were to gather up the ingredients
that would serve to make the happy home,
should suggest that you engage the fol-
lowing ingredients ; One cup of honesty,
one cup Of congeniality, two cups of plen-
ty, three cups of respect and four portions
of love. Stir the honesty and the plenty
to smooth mixture; add the four portions
of love, well beatsal moisten with one cup
of congeniality; slft in slowly the three
cups of respect. Season with the fruits
of the Spirit, and add dash of the spice
of unselfshness and pinch of the salt Of
individuality. Tighten with the leayen Of
constancy. Bake in quick oven.

The following description of the cele-
brated Bayeux Tapestry is from book on
odd and curious things 1.-THE Bayepx
Tapestry, which takes its name from the
place where It is kept, Is needle work
history on canvas. 1t illustrates the in
vasion and conquest of England in 1906,
aud is marvel Of patience and skill 1t
Is said to be the work of Matilda, the wife
Of William the Conqueror, and the ladies
of her court. 1t was presented by the
Queen to the Cathedral of Bayeux, Nor
mandy, as token of her appreciation Of
the assistance rendered to her husband by
Odo, its Bishop, at the battle of Hastings.
1t was for many years the custom to ex-
hibit the tapestry on St. John Day. 1t
is worked in wool threads Of various col
ors, and contains 1919 figures. There
are 62a msn, 800 quadrupeds, birds,
sphinxes and offers, 202 horses, 81 build
ings, Al boats and ships and 49 trees
The web on which the marvellous work is
wrought is 2l4 feet long and 20 inches
wide. 1t shows the history Of the Con-
quest, and is, in many particulars, more
minute than written history. How long
it took to complete this tapestry there is
nothing to show; but it must have occu-
pied many hands for a period of years

EBB-TIDE.
BY Maud E. Sargent.

BY Maud E. Sargent
The restless tide is slipping away,
Down and away DER the yellow sand,
And the slist'ning seaweeds CLEAN and sway
In the shallow water beyond the strand,
And the curiew, shrieking, flies home to rest
And a red sun sinks in the stormy West.
The dying sunlight CLEAN doth throw
On the drear bulks lying anear the shore
Brave barques were they in the long-ago
But they cross the ocean wide no more;
And the tide ebbs past them away, away,
And the wind walls over the rock k-girt bay.
30 love, lost love, has the tide of Life
Been kinder to you than 1t has to me?
Have yon learned how bitter 1t is to drift
In a rudderless barque DER sullen sea,
Or have merrily danced. without a care,
Ger Summer waves in the sunshine fair?
~ know not; only the night-wind chill
Signs over the face of the restless deep
And safe in the harbor under the hill,
The anchored vessels seem all asleep;
And wonder, gazing across the wave,
Ifsleep is sweet in the silent gravep'
