FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

1t costs just as much to grow, pack
and market poor fruit as good, and
sometimes more.
A sure cure for pear tree blight
for every one that dies set out two. A
pretty good remedy for peach yellows,
also.
From the fact that tobacco stems
contain no small per cent. Of nitro.
gen, phosphoric acid and PHOSPHORUS,
they make an excellent plant food,
especially for garden and fruit crops.
Their price is but nominal. It is a
good plan to mix and compost them
with horse manure.
It is claimed that pair of old birds
with nest of young will. in the pro-
cess Of days feeding, destroy nearly
1000 insects. Multiply this by the
great number of ofinseotivorots birds in
our fields and forests, and we can get
an approximate idea of the helpful
protection afforded our agricultural
interests.
A large number Of orchards have
never paid, and never will. The most
common cause is starvation, for the
average farmer who plants an orchard
or buys one goes on treating the land
as IT such q thing did no. exist. He
crops the ground, in rotation or out
OF IT, until it is wonder that his
orchard lives at all.
Why does any one advocate that ap.
pie orchards should be set to grass !?
why are they not cultivated and fer.

"Be cheerful" says the man who ia

"Be cheerful" says the man who is
easy IN his circumstances, missing no
loved face at the table, nor by tho
hearth. But does he ever consider how
hard 1t may be to be cheerful" when
the heart aches, and the cupboard Is
empty, and there are little fresh graves
In the churchyard. md friends are fe<,
or Indifferent, and even God, for the
time being, seems to have forgotten us,
30 desolate Is our lot? How difficult for
one man to understand another In such
differing circumstances! How easy to
say, "Be cheerful" How hard he would
ind 1t to practice, were he stripped of
all life's brightness!
The Louisiana populist., 1897-06-25

The man who minds his own busi-
ness will always have something to do.
Step where God tells you to, and you
will find your foot planted on the rock.
The prayer that comes from a broken
heart goes straight to the heart Of God.
The more grateful we are for our
blessings, the smaller our trials will
look.
If God gives us much to do or endure
1t means that he will also give us much
grace.
If we do too much for our children
they will never be able to do much for
themselves.
It Is hard to convince some preach.
ers that they are not needed most
where the pay is the best.
1t would puzzle an angel to make out
what some people mean when they
say, "Thy kingdom come"
Heavens windows are still waiting
to fly open for the man who will take
the last 1.-THE to the storehouse.
There is nothing in the Bible to en-
courage anybody in thinking that he
can be saved by his own good works.
The preacher whose only usefulness
lies in his ability to cure insomnia In
his hearers, has misunderstood his call.
There is much praying done in pub
lie and private that falls short Of q
genuine calling on the name of the
Lord.
Men have no patience with the man
who fails at 4 vital point, but God
bears with him, and gives him another
chance.
One of the biggest fools in the world
Is the man who thinks the devil won't
get him because his wife belongs to
church.
Many q man who begins what he
considers n promising journey in the
Jericho road, meets the robbers at the
first bend.
There is something wrong with the
man who goes home from church mad,
whenever the preaching is aimed
squarely at the face Of sin.

The invention OF Alabastine marked a new
era in wall coatings, and from the stand
point OF the building owner was most i'm.
portant discovery. 1t has from small be-
ginning branched out into every country Of
the civilized world. The name "kalsomine"
has become so offensive to property owners
that manufacturers Of cheap kalsomino
preparations are now calling them by some
other name, and attempting to sell on tho
Alabastine company's reputation
Through extensive advertising and per-
sonal use, the merits of the durable Alabas
tine are SO thoroughly known that tho peo-
ple insist on getting these goods and will
take no chance of spelling their walls for a
possible saving of ut the most but a few
cents. Thus it is again demonstrated that
merit wins, and that manufacturers OF first
class articles will besupported by the people,

REMAIN UNCHANGED.
Go1dbeaters' Tools and Cooks Caps az
They We're in Ancient Times,

Goldbeaters' Tools and Cooks Caps az
They We're in Ancient Mmes.
In almost every kind Of trade known
to man the years have brought mani.
fold charges in the way of tools, ini-
proved machinery, advanced ideas as
to the manipulation of material and
numberless aids from the fields of
science, the workshop Of the chemist,
the inventor and the artist. But there
Is one trade in which no advance has
been made and that Is in the goldbeat-
er's trade. The same tools and the
same appliances ere used now rs in the
days when Solomon built his temple
and the art fourisEed in ancient times.
When Tyre and Sidon ruled the seas,
when Carthage disputed with Rome the
supremacy Of tho world, the goldbeat-
ers Of those days worked with the sam,
implements US those used nowadays.
1t is very singular thing that In all
this endless change, this rearranging
and shifting, the goldbeaters' trade
should still be conducted on its ancient
basis and stand primitive in relations
to the other trades and arts that have
progressed so steadily and Importantly.
Another curious feature of the trades Is
the badge Of the cooks cap. 1t is tho
same cap nowadays as the cap worn
by the cooks who served up nightin-
gales brains for Lucullus, ,,'!tellius and
the Roman epicures. The cooks of the
days of Shakespeare, Of Charlemagne,
Of all ancient time, wore the same
shaped headgear-the inevitable cooks
cap that the chef of q fashionable mod.
ern hotel wears. The times change and
people change with them, but in this
labyrinthian moving and changing it
must be remembered that there still
exist two symbols sent down through
the ages as they were in the beginning.

Charge Extra for Courtesy.

Some Of the ways of Her Maiesty's
postofice are past understanding. A
merchant living in the town of Mon
mouth discovered that the orders
which he sent by mail in unsealed
envelopes, bearing half.penny stamps,
were being surcharged as letters. On
demanding to know the reason, he was
told that the extra charge was made
because he began his letters with
''please" instead Of simply writing
"send me, ETC." Courtesy in England
costs extra.

GIVE THE HOG A CHANCE.

There is encouragement in the gen.
eral acquiescence in the policy of Civ.
ing swine range-plenty of grass and
clover, and less of the everlasting corn
diet, We no longer aim at masses of
living lard. The better methods are
giving us pork which is fit for use, and
is largely increasing the demand for
the products of this profitable animal.
Give the hog a chance, and he will do
his best for us.

Party True to Name.

The families OF the members OF the
Degree of Honor participated in a
hard times party at the hall Tuesday
that was great success. Prob
ably not since the great tramp raid
at the fair grounds several years ago
has there been seen in the town so
tough an appearing crowd as were the
members last evening. All the old
clothes obtainable had been gathered
and were worn. 1t Is even charged
that Marshal Favor stripped a hobo
he had in jail in order to get a hard
looking suit. One member sauntered
downtown and was ordered out Of
a business house by the irate proprie-
tor because OF his looks. The ladies'
contrived some fearfully and wonder
fully rusty looking costumes and
many showed much ingenuity in the
arrangement. Emil Suffer and Miss
Lizzie Barnes were awarded the honor
Of being the worst dressed persons in
the hall. Henry Suffer, D. L. Pisle,
J. I. Hornaday and J. +. Brewer wore
the best clothes and were fined 30
cents each, the fine going to Mr.. SUIT
ter and Miss Barnes as a reward for
their distinction. Refreshments were
served and an interesting musical
program was given.
