Anger as a Moral Force.

Love and anger are the right and
left hands of the soul. Love caresses
the lovable, anger smites the, hateful,
and in rightly balanced character
they work together for the advance
ment of truth and righteousness.
When God made man in his own inn
age he made being who could be
angry. Anger may be and often is a
sin, but true anger, anger which arises
from a proper cause, Is always a vir-
tue. 1t is the indignant protest of the
soul against something that is OPP
posed to highest well-being. 1t is the
frown of justice against recognized
wrong. When seen in its highest
manifestation 1t is the "wrath of God
revealed from heaven against all un-
goodness and unrighteousness." IL
is the left hand OF God in divine gov
ernment; for though God Is love he
can be angry with the entire power of
his perfect righteousness, and in the
moral universe right would not long
be regnant If God could not be angry
The Psalmist says: "Who knoweth
| the power of thine anger."--The adj
vance.

Liquid Fertilizers for Flowers.

Liquid fertilizers are never failing
renovaters and sSme kind or other is
within the reach of all. A few drops
of household ammonia in pitcher of
water are not lost on indifferent
plants. A weekly application of
soapsuds is recommended. CONNER
cial plant food is good but in some
respects is not equal to barnyard ma
nure, although cleaner and easier TO
handle.
A few table-salt bags filed with
various manures securely tied, pail
and an old dipper, are the essentials
and can be tucked away in an obscure
corner of the back porch or shed,
ready for hot wafer as the occasion
demands. Pour water on the bags in
the watering pot and the soluble parts
will be leached out. Five or even 10
pound bags are good size for pail of
water; and the cloth is just course
enough tor strainer, keeping back
fine straw and litter which might 9TH
erwise clog the watering pot. 3d.
Hen manure is of great value but
must be used judiciously, for the per-
centage of lime in its composition is
larger than that OF any other given
analysis. Dove manure is even bet
ter, for it contains more orgay mat
ter, nearly as much nitrogef and a
third less lime. which max it safer
to use. Sheep manure has also been
known to produce marvellous growth,
which may be attributed to the unu-
sal amount of organic matter it con-
tains. Cow manure is, perhaps, SAT-
est and best of all for general use, as
1t contains all things in moderation. h

cattle in August, and for eight months

about 5000 head. We are sending

SAVED HIS JOB BY STRATEGY.
The Dry Goods Clerk Was Too Smart
for His Grabbed Employer.

The woman was one of those night
mares of busy clerks - a professional
shopper-and she had the man at the
dress goods counter take down half
his stock for her examination, and af-
ter consuming nearly an hour of his
time she decided that nothing suited
her exactly, and rose to leave.
The proprietor Of the store was
standing in the door, as was his Gus
tom, and he always accosted the GUS
toners as they came out to see if they
had found what they desired. If a
clerk had failed to make a sale he gen
orally heard from it as soon as the
customer left This particular clerk
was in line for the chief place in his
department, and he wanted it. He knew
that if the proprietor should find out
from the woman that her wants had
not been supplied it would not be great
ly to his credit, SO he said:
Madam, do you see the man stand
ing in the door,"
Yes"
well, if he should speak to you as
you go out, don't be alarmed. He is a
lunatic, but being a relative of the
owner of the store, he is allowed a
great deal of liberty. as he is danger
Gus only at times"
The woman gathered her handker-
chief and umbrella and started for the
door, looking a little nervous. When
she was about to pass out the prOpri-
etor turned to her suddenly and said:
Madam. did you get what you
wanted?''
The woman uttered a frightened
squeak, swung her umbrella at a par
ry, skipped out the door, and fed up
the street three or four doors before
she slowed down to a fast walk.
The proprietor, filled with surprise
went back to the dress goods counter
and said:
What in the world was the matter
with that lady who just went out?''
I'D like to know myself said the
clerk. "She acted queerly While she
was back here. 1 really think she must
be crazy"
And the proprietor evidently thought
so himself for he said no more about
it.-Detroit Free Press.

tbs plain to see he be man of great

And l did note, when he was telling
of a most terrible storm that old burst

coast, and of his danger and being like

as she did bend over her work
But what followed did nightly di-
vert me, more than they guessed. 1t
befell thus: Sir Ralph was discoursing
of a certain slave merchant in Algiers,
and how he did ill-treat his slaves and
did lash one-a young girl naked to the
waist-with a knotted cord. And
saw Dorothy's work fall out of her
hands, and her eyes did flash and her
bosom heave, and anon up she springs,
and did knock her stool over in the
act
THE evil brute!" cried she, II could
BOX him his ears?' asked Sir Ralph
demurely, whereupon they did both
burst into hearty laughter, Dorothy
with heightened color which did vast
ly become her.
'"Twas the very thing I did," said
he, "and did relish the doing, though it
did well nigh get me in trouble with his
countrymen. But you did PROMISE
Mistress Dorothy, to show me your
garden. Will it please you to do so
now?"
They We're soon lost to my sight be-
hind the yew-tree hedges, and being a
thought drowsy after the labors of the
day, 1 did fall into a light slumber.
The next l remember was Dorothys
arms around my neck and her soft lips
on my cheek. I did rouse me, and saw
her sweet face full of a great happi-
ness, SO that her eyes did shine like
stars.
II have told your daughter, Mr. Par
lett" said Sir Ralph, "the story of my
life. Twas a woman that clouded it,
and woman may restore it's sunshine.
VIII you give Dorothy to me. if she
be willing to try, as I think she be?''
