FAULT-FlNDERS.

To fall into a habit OF fault-finding
"a one of the easiest things in the
world.
In no place are there so many op-
oortunities for indulging in this sort
OF thing as In the home.
II is a disagreeable thing to find
fault, yet there are some who seem to
ike to do 1t simply for the sake of find
ing fault.
These people do not mean to be
chronic fault-finders, and 1t never oc-
ours to them that they are.
They would not for the world be
thought disagreeable, and but for this
one trait would be generally very
pleasant companions.
They did not acquire this habit at
once; any Of their friends win tell
YOU that there was a time when they
were not so.
They began by noticing very little
failing, or supposed failing, among
their acquaintances, and the habit grew
with them until 1t appeared as part Of
their nature to notice and condemn
every little fault, supposed or real.
They are very far from being perfect
themselves; in fact, they think 50
much about the imperfections OF 9TH
es that they have very little time to
attend to their own.
They would be grieved and hurt
should their friends retaliate by no.
tcing every little eccentricity of theirs,
and perhaps had their friends the
courage to do so 1t might open their
eyes to the unpleasantness of fault
finding.
Everybody has faults Of some kind,
and most people fully realize how
great or small they may be, but nobody
cares to be reminded of them every lit
tie while. The fault-fnders who make
a practice Of this will soon find them
selves with very few friends.

Superstition in Religion
Egsngelis! 3. Fay Mills Says It All Must Go.

Rev. B. Fay Mills, the evangelist,
created sensation at Saratoga, N. Y.
on Thursday, in speech he delivered
before the Unitarian Conference on
the EMISSION to the United States.
"The whole system of dogmatlsm
and priestcraft, Protestant and Cath
ole, is to go. The multitude care no
more for liberal platforms than for Or
thodox platforms. They are weary OF
book religion and theories Ortho-
doxy has failed only as liberal religion
has failed. Each has failed to be re-
liglous. The world has more use for
the Salvation Army than for Brahmic
cult.
" Society is becoming conscious OF
itself. Whoever makes religion out
of democracy will move the world.
The Almighty Father gives us His
love, and asks at our hands the de-
struction of the last superstition, the
abolition Of every ancient and modern
wrong, the establishment Of justice of
love the loosing of the bands OF
wickedness to let the oppressed 90

Some man has figured out that ON
sandy road horse can drag twice as
great load as he can carry on his
back. On fair dirt road he can drag
three and half times as much. On a
macadamized road he can pull nine
times as much, on plank road twenty
five times as much, and ON metal rails
tifty-four times as much. But there are
other things connected with fine roads,
and that is the educational influence it
has on the community. If good roads
are made it will have a tendency to
draw in settlers and to decrease the
size of the farms, making more intelli-
gent communities.
By the sides of good roads better
looking farm houses are erected. The
community takes pride in having the
houses and grounds improve with the
improvements on the roads. Once
start man to fixing up'' and he is
likely to keep at it. The same thing
occurs in our cities and towns. The
man that lives in an Imprinted house
on dirty and muddy thoroughfare
thinks that it does not pay to fix up his
place when all around is so unsightly.
But when the road is rebuilt and the
neighbors begin to set their sidewalks
and lawns in order, he sees that the
time has come for. him to repaint the
old house and set out some shade trees.
The improvement idea is contagious
and should be fostered.

The Way to Sell Fruit.

In order to effect ready sale for
fruit of any kind in these times of great
competition, says the Rural World. it
is necessary to grow large and highly.
colored fruits, to strive after quality
as understood in the market-more
than quantity although the latter must
not by any means be overlooked. Let
1t be nOted, if fruit is to be sold mi.
vately, that good flavor and proper de.
gree of ripeness will recommend your
customers. II you intend selling
through market agent, flavor will
count for nothing; but rich color
and soundness of condition are every.
thing towards securing the highest
price. All fruit should be grown as
large and highly colored as possible
gathered and packed before it becomes
soft and overripe. When gathering
fruit, never gather when there is /
heavy dew or just after a rain. They
should be gathered dry and be KEEP
dry.
