They Were Ready.

One of the district schools trustees
was crank on the subject of fire. and
when he called around with the exam
lining board he always confined his re-
marks to question addressed to the
pupils as to what they would do in
case the building should catch fire.
The teacher was acquainted with his
hobby, SO she prompted her scholars
as to the answer they should give
when he arose to PROFOUND his accus-
toned inquiry.
When the board called, however, this
particular trustee, perhaps from de-
sire to emulate his associates in thier
addresses rose and said:
''You boys and girls have paid such
nice attention to Mr.. Jones remarks, l
wonder what you would do if were to
make you little speech?"
Quick as thought a hundred voices
piped in unison:
Form in line and march down stairs.

SPIRITLESS FARMING.
The Natural Result of Doing Things Ac-
cOrding to Old Methods.

cOrding to Old Methods.
| TO run too long in one unvarying
| channel of business, man is prone to be-
come'spiritless, grows shiftless and un-
enterprising. He must vary or change
his methods, make new shifts, SO as to
give newness and variety to his ocupa-
tlon, which serves to stir up an interest,
with u desire to see and enjoy the re-
! suits of his handiwork. This interest
and desire begets energy, as it were,
from whence follow other and often
greater efforts, and, as matter of
course. something profitable will be ac-
conpllshed. This awakening to the
calls of industry, in other words, is en-
terprise, without which no one is likely
to prosper much in any sphere. An en-
terprising spirit strives to accomplish
something as much for the pleasure in
its accomplishment as for the actual
need of the fruits of it's labor.
With some it is difficult to get up this
enterprising spirit; especially SO with
such people as are inclined to take
things easy" and to "let every day pro-
vide for ITSELF" from which very cause
there are thousands OF farms-to say
nothing of the personal improvement
of families--throughou the country,
that are rendered unattractive and I'M
dervalued by the despoiling effects of
little rubbing up, SO to speak, would be
enhanced in value and made beautiful
as apples of gold in pictures of silver"
Many such farmers, too-as we are
chiefly speaking of farmers-are proud,
and want themselves and families to
stand fairly credible, yet neglect one of
the most essential means of gaining
that responsibility. For next to edu-
cation and refinement in our persons is
that of improving and identifying the
homes in which we dwell. So, then,
the father who wishes his family to en-
joy respectable position in society
should also strive to have bright and
attractive home for them.
The neglect of the home and family
often comes of too eager pursuit after
money getting. sometimes of petty
speculation, sometimes of too much
concern about public affairs and many
other similar cause which detract at
tention from home and home affairs,
and as a rule only half work is done any
where
However the cause of this unprogres-
sive way of managing affairs, it is one
that grows and soon becomes rut, so
to speak, that is hard to. pull ont of;
often it requires some external force to
get one out at all. But again a very lit
tie sometimes serves to stimulate spir-
it of progress. For instance, we once
knew man who was led to make a
great change in his affairs by apotato
crop he reared turning out exceedingly
well, and from which he realized good
profit; and this stimulated him to turn
his attention to his crops more closely
and theoretically, and which paid bet
ter and better year by year, till he be-
came quite prosperous farmer. Al
though the first step in this case was an
involuntary one, we see, yet every one
can voluntarily take the first progress
sive step if they, will, and by determine
ton strive after others, and success will
ultimately foilow.-Cor. Epitomist.

LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

The first object in the feeding of
young growing stock is to produce
rapid growth.
With all classes of stock profitable
feeding consists in giving the animals
all that they will eat and digest prop
er!y.
When sheep are grown for wool and
mutton care should be taken not to Gull
out the good muttons too closely for the
butcher.
Cats contain the material needed to
form bone and muscle, and for this
reason are an excellent feed for young
and growing stock.
Without stock there can be no COM
plete utilization OF the products of the
farm, such as is essential to the secur-
ing of the best profits.
Clover is one of the best crops to
grow to build up run down farms, and
wherever clover can be grown the land
is not past building up.
Every part of the farm should be
made to return something. If too
rough to cultivate seed to grass for pas
ture or plant trees of some kind.
AS general rule the more a farmer
produces from a given area the more
prosperous he will be, as the expenses
will not increase in proportion to the
yield.-Farmers' Union.

SHALL WE SPANK
This Question Is Agitating the Minds 9
Chicago People.

This Question Is Agitating the Minds of
Chicago People.
Our tagging interest in the great So
Geological problem, ''Shall Our Children
BE Spankedy' has been revivified by
the battle now raging between Mrs.
Washburne and a gentleman in Con-
nectlcut. We are sorry that this con-
Hict of opinion did not exist at that Pc
ROD OF life of which we are accustomed
to speak, POLITICALLY and with dreamy
"reminiscences, as ''our halycon days"
as we are convinced that in this event
we should have saved ourselves a
measure of mental trepidation and bod
lily discomfort. Concerning the merits
OF the debate we do not feel at liberty
to pass judgment, but we are reasonably
sure that could we be child again we
should ''tie to- Mrs. Washburne. Yet
the Connecticut gentleman seems to be
a man of experience and practical
knowledge and we must make all al
lowence for conditions as we find then.
Some children are born to be spanked.
SEINE achieve spankings and some have
spankings thrust upon them. 1t is
very difficult and delicate matter to
draw the line, particularly when it is
a clothesline. Let us dismiss the mat
ter as one of the neversettled troubles
of humanity, the spankers as well as
the spankee, for are we not all born to
trouble as the spanks fly downward?

Horses Teeth Need Attention.

It pays to keep horses teeth in order.
Unless the food is properly masticated
by the teeth and mixed with saliva be-
fore it is swallowed, it cannot be util-
lied fully by the digestive apparatus.
There is loss of food and there is a
tendency to the establishment of dis
ease that may be either OF a mildly
detrimental character or may be serl-
GUS enough to produce death. When
horses teeth are out of order the ami
mails are prone to slobber, drive on one
rein, toss the head or develop some
other bad habit.

All soups can be preserved in good

and to remove every particle of fat from

in very cool larder and uncovered; in
very hot weather it should be strained
every day, and poured into perfectly

Is the weapon with which she conquers her
world. Almost every woman believes that
she possesses at least some. one attractive
feature and strives to make the most of that
But mere regularity of feature is not the
most attractive form of beauty.
Mankind is more influenced by the bright
glowing vitality of perfect health. A classic
cast of countenance will not make woman
attractive and captivating, if she IS pale,
thin, weak and nervous, or has pimply
complexion or unwholesome breath.
These complaints are due to imperfect
nutrition. The digestive and blood making
organs fail to extract the needed nourish-
ment from the food, and the liver is too slug
gish to cleanse the blood of bilious impuri-
ties. The entire constitution becomes weak
and poisoned.
The only perfect antidote for this state of
things is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t gives power to the digestive and
nutritive organs to make an abundance OF
pure, rich, highly vitalized blood, which
permeates the whole system with the sweet
ness of purity; the beauty of womanly vigor
and animation.
It creates solid, healthy flesh and natural
color; clears the complexion dispels wrink-
les; rounds out the form and imbues the
whole physique with the irresistible natural
magnetism of perfect health.
