Such as thy words are, such will thy
affections be; such thy deeds as thy
affections, such thy life as thy deeds.
There is a great struggle between
vanity and patience when we have to
meet a person who admires us but who
bores us.
One of the highest mountains upon
which we may stand in this life, is to
be able to look back upon a long life
well spent.
Beware Of p%rejudices. A mans mind
is like a rat trap; prejudices creep in
easily, but it is doubtful if they ever
get out again.
Want of prudence is too frequently
the want of virtue; nor is there on
earth a more powerful advocate for
vice than poverty.
Don't get the notion that you are
the greatest person in creation. There
are plenty OF other people who arc
just as small as you are.
The worst penalty of evil doing is
to grow into likeness with the bad

to the nature Of his deeds, for better

Current Topics.

There is no effort for the improve
ment of the people that has taken a
more prominent form than that show
ing Itself in the establishment and
maintenance of public libraries. The
multiplicity of books, their low cost
and the natural love there is of reading
have led to the popularizing of pub
lie Libraries until few villages Of any
respectable size are without collections
of books to which the people have free
access. Men of wealth have devoted
their money to the establishment of
large libraries and two of the very best
of these in this country are in Chica-
go, the gifts Of pu~blic-spirited citizens
who left their wealth for that purpose.
States generally have provided for
the support of public libraries, al
though the average state legislator has
about as much use for books as a duck
has for ar umbrella. Of all the states
Minnesota has exhibited the best judg-
ment in its laws relating to libraries.
There is an annual appropriation made
OF $4,000 to encourage the establish
ment of public school collections of
books. The law provides that 500 shall
be given the first year and $40 annually
thereafter to any school hat raises an
equal CT a greater sum for a library,
the stimulus of which donation has
resulted in a large excess of individual
giving over the amount donated by the
state. This plan has been in operation
for the last ten years and sirca it be-
gan over 1890 public school libraries
have been established, having an aver
age of sixty-five volumes each, making
a total Of more than III, 900 volumes.
This number Of books, large as it is,
is not SO significant of public interest
in the plan as the fact that the growth
OF each library is continuous, while the
number of them is steadily increasing.
The plan pursued in the state is not
to purchase books at random or &C
cording to the whims of any one indiv-
idual but to purchase a years quota of
Looks devoted to II special subject,
so that the result is the formation of a
library especially adapted to reference
purposes, which supplements the edu-
cltional work of the school proper
While popular works of romance and
travels arc not omitted the body OF
the books may be considered as sup
Elementary to the text books and the
work of the teachers.
1t is not probable that any equlva-
lent sum appropriated for any other
purpose brings the state of Minnesota
so large a return as the $40, 900 donated
to the purchase of books for the pub.
lie school libraries and the example
of that state might proftably be fol
lowed by any other, especially at the
west, where large cities are infre-
ouent and technical Libraries are rare.

v TO FARMEIls.
Proper and Advantageous Way to
Sell Farm Products.


The independent shippers of grain to
Minneapolis and Chicago begin to re-
allie that they have n common obstacle
to surmouht. The professional grain
shippers over a dozen big states trib-
utary to these points number an army.
Many of them have grown rich from
the farmers wagons by a twenty-five
years stay at their stations. Some of
them have private banks, some have
bought farms, all are prosperous.
This house has not a word against
these people. 1t is not doing business
with them. 1t is doing business with
an army of farmers. 1t has given pro-
duccrs the best practical help since the
railroads made the big central mar
kets possible. If ten thousand farmers
have discovered that they have no ur-
tier use for one thousand country
grain buyers, they have n per-
feet right to" go past them, fill their
own cars and ship their W grain.
Many years ago farmers discovered
that the old reaper aud the old double
shovel one-horse corr c%ultivator were
too slow. They left them in the fence
orners and bought improved machin-
cry. The manufacturers did not kick.
They met the demand with self-bipd-
ers and riding sulky plows. The world
has grown tired of many old things.
The farming world is getting tired of
paying others to do what it can do it.
self. If farmers wish to desert the To-
cal shippers (who may have been need
ed forty years ago, no amount of
mulishness on the part of the ship
pers can stop them. Grain shippers
nave al organ to keep up their cour-
age. Their publication has again filed
its columns with abuse of the farmers
commission house. 1t is n case of sore
tee. They howl because they are hurt.
The farmers understand this sort of
warfare made ON the house which has
tut them in touch with Minneapolis
and Chicago. Their letters to us show
that they believe this fact, viz, that if
there is enough in grain shipments to
fight for, the farmers want that mar
gin. All that is now needed to spread
direct shipments is some well devel-
oped opposition. Farmers are in n
frame of mind to do about as they
please this year. We welcome any
fair and honorable attention from the
aid organs of grain shippers. and will
see tina its attacks are well spread be-
fore Independent shippers and in
dependent thinkers in a thousand
farming communities. We have as
surances that our efforts in behalf
of farmers will be fully appreciated
and reciprocated. Any man or any
house may be glad of a fair criticism
from the enemy with such an army at
its back; but unjust, malignant at
tacks, made with the intention of Will.

STOVE FOR HOT WEATHER.
1t Isadlatcs Cold instead OF neat, and
Will Do Popular. =

1t 1sadiatcs Cold instead OF neat, and
Will lie Popular, =
Prof. William M. Watts Of Still
Pond, Md, has a novelty in the form
CT a cold stove. The stove is for Use
in the heated months of summer for
reducing the temperature, just as
stoves heated by fire are used to raise
the temperature In winter. BY the
use of salt, a small quantity OF ice and
a patented Chemical the most intense
degree of cold is secured. So great Is
the cold that it is as dangerous to
touch this cold stove when 1t is in
operation as it would be to place the
hand on a fire stove at a high degree
of heat. The skin is instantly taken
off and painful injuries are the result
Of the slightest contact. Prof. Watts
states that during the hottest weather
the temperature Of a room may be run
down and made pleasant by the use
of this novel device. The new process
was dlcovered by a college mate of the
teacher of the Still Pond school. The
cost Of operating the stove is very
slight.
