NEVER roo SURE.

Against the probability or possibility of mischance or accident we can never be too sure. But if We should stop to consider how great is the chance of sudden death, we should be made too timid and unhappy, Caution is needed not to be foolhardy, and precaution to know what is best to do when an accident happens. One day this winter two men were walking, and one said !; "We're too timid in treading on slippery places. I tread firmly and never think about them, and so escape a fall" Never be too sure.'' said the other, '.it IS that that throws you off and makes the fall the harder" Just then they came upon place covered with thin snow, where kids had been sliding. The first speaker slipped, and came down with his foot turned and badly sprained his ankle. He was cripple on crutches until short time ago, having used many things without benefit. Up to that time he had not used St. Jacobs Oil, which, when used, cured him completely, so that he walks as usual. There is probability that for the rest of the season he will walk cautiously, with the precaution of having this great remedy ready for use.

The abuse of the right of petition consists, in part, in an indiscriminate use of that method of reaching a de sired end. It is a truism that the ob- taining of signatures for a petition is usually an easy matter. Men sign out or good nature, to get rid of important ty. because they have signed similar documents, and so on, and sometimes the body of the petition Is not even read. An excellent illustration of reck- lessness was recently furnished. A cit izen complained to the Governor of a State because a certain criminal had been pardoned. The Governor sent for the papers in the case, and the com plainant was found to have signed the petition for pardon. He had put his name to the paper without reflection, and had forgotten the fact. But when his own request had been granted, he indignantly held the Governor guilty of an act injurious to the public in- teraSti

Three Queer Tennessee Farmers.

"There Is in rennesse a family of three sisters witch presents some of the most startling pecuHartes imag- inable, said Mir J. J Kennedy. of that State. '.rhe three sisters live together on a farm, their sole means of subsist- ence, and work early and late to earn a livelihood. Two of them work in the field; the third does the cooking and other housework.
 ''There is but one period of the year when any member of the trio has any thing to say to any other member. All during the winter, spring and summer they go about their business with the seal of silence on their lips. When fall comes and the crop is harvested they break the silence, and then only to quarrel over the division of the pro- ceeds. When each has succeeded in get ting all that she thinks possible, silence rcigns again until the next harvest time. The sisters, as you may judge, have made a name for themselves They are known far and near as the deaf and dumb triplets,' although such a title is scarcely appropriate. Wash ington Post.

An Enemy of Humanity.

There arc probably few persons of ma- ture years who have not read the story of the man who put the sick beggar up on his best horse ill order to take him to his home and friends. The beggar suddenly recovered his strength and rode off with the horse that was the pride of the desert and the fortune of his owner. The man called after the tnIeI aud Degged nIm to halt foE a mo u5cuL. cafe Ettrs. -~,7i+ ha did so. when bis benefactOr implOred him bey5r to tell how he obtained the horse, as the incident, if known, might stand in the way Of relief of some honest besgar who sought charity by the wayside. Although it is claimed that the story is very old one, it is just as applicable to our time as it was when the affair occurred.
 It is tho professional beggar who makes the most terrible suffering possi ble to those who are too proud, too hon. est or too timid to ask for what they need. New York Ledger.

About Preach rs.

A simple young fellow who had been reading, perhaps, 'Ingersolrs Mistakes of Moses" or something of the sor., once said to a good old preacher: Say, preacher, whenever a man who has got son who is not fit for anything else he generally makes a preacher out of him, don't he?' And the good man replied: Well, God only had one son, and He made a preacher out of Him."
 Another one of this class said to preacher: Whenever a fellow has an idiot for a son he puts him to preach ing. don't he?' The preacher replied: .I think not. Your father didn't make a preacher out of you, did hep

"Nothing Is more discouraging to me than the general inefficiency of young women of good education and good home environment who are-suddenly perhaps-thrOwn upon their own re- sources, and who come to me for ad- vice and for help in securing situations in which they can be self-supporting," said lady who gives much of her time to philanthropic work. And" she add ed, 'the most hopeless cases are those of the young women who feel that they can do almost anything because no one ever yet succeeded in the limitiess field of anything
 Tt seems as though l ought to be able to earn a living, with all my edu- cation and accomplishments" said young woman suddenly reduced from affiuence to the necessity of earning her own living. "I can play the piano unusually we'll, and paint very cleverly on china, and embroider, and do all kinds of fancy work, and write very clever verses, and recite or sing very we'll" But the cash value of all of these accomplishments combined was less than the value of the unlettered Irish servant girl, who could go into a kitchen and cook fairly well, comments "Harper's BaZar."
 It would seem that there was some thing wrong with our educational sys- tenn when our educated girls are so ig- norant of the practical duties of life. They are now taught something of cooking and sewing in many of our public schools; but most of them regard this as mere amusement, and it counts for little in fitting them for the actual and practical work of cooking and sew ing and the care of a home.
 If mothers do not teach their daugh ters these things in their own homes, they will not be learned at all. And the mother has failed in her duty if her daughter, at the age of p or g, finds herself utterly lacking in the ability to earn a dollar if it becomes necessary for her to do so, and utterly incompe- tent to discharge the duties of the home to which a husband may take her. There Is no higher maternal duty than that of fitting ones children for the future that before them waits as wives and mothers or as useful self-SuppOrt- ing women.

Safety in Buying Seeds

There is no other way to measure the value of seeds than by the value of the crop. good crop simply can not come from poor seed. Second-rate seeds will waste good land, good fertilizer, and good labor, and the crop won't pay expenses. Now, as the practical farmer cannot afford to waste time testing seeds to find out whether they are true to name, sound and clean, 1t stands to reason that the only safe way to buy seeds is to seek the protection of a name that has stood for reliability in the past The great seed house of D.

in six languages" No doubt a saga. cious silence saves many a difficulty. But Bismarck has been babbling in his old age. He has volunteered the opin- ion that our much misunderstood Mon roe doctrine is uncommon insolence to the rest of the world, and does violence to the other American States, and Flu ropean States with American inter. ests." It is very difficult thing to be- lieve that such great mind could blunder after this fashion. But then when Polonius grows old he will talk!

 ships Massachusetts and Indiana of the United States navy were match for all the Spanish warships afiOat. This may not be an exact statement, but 1t conveys an accurate idea of the supe- riority of our navy over Spain's. Spain has more vessels than we have, but most of them are old and would be helpless in an encounter with any of our ships.

For years the land about Twenty-Nine Palms has been known to be rich, but those seeking mines went farther away, and over the land in which this strike was made thousands have passed on their way to the new Fl Dorado, Virginia Dale.
