Life for the most part is too much
matter of routine. There is too much
delving in one line. the following along
in beaten path, the staying in one rut.
1t is this more than anything else that
causes the premature breaking down
and wearing out of the human machine.
Had there been a change of occupation
and thought, many might have been
kept in use and repair for years longer.
The contact with others brings about IA
fresh train OF thought and ideas, sug-
gests new variations of life and action
In an assemblage OF people there exists
human magnetism which passes from
one to another, acting upon them for
their quickening and benefit. Who
has not felt this in audiences, wheth-
er at church, at lecture, or at the
theatre. 1t comes as an actual physical
stimulous. 1t is great human orches-
ira, led, guided and played upon by the
preacher, the orator, or the actor. All
are occupied by the same theme, by the
same key, but giving out from the
strings of their being a different note
or tune, which, interviewer produce a
symphony Of feeling which appeals to
all. each experiencing not only his own
impression, but that OF those who are
about him. II the thought is high and
noble, it tends to the betterment and
uplifting OF every human unit which
goes to make the whole; also, If the pur
pose is not high, the effect is equally
widespread to arouse the evil and the
passions of each.-Harper's BaEar.

A Clever Trick.

really NO trick about it. Anybody can

We mean he can cure himself right

medicine tones up the whole system,
acts as stimulant to Liver and Kid

1t cures Constipation, Headache, Faint

Farmers Institute at Paradise.

Farmers institute was held at Para
disc Grange hall on Thursday and Fri
/ day Of last week. The institute was
called to order at l.30 p. NJ, Thursday,
| by j. NJ. Norris and the first business
was to elect officers. which were as fol-
lows: President, John Dougherty; vice
| president. j. J. Sutter: secretary. AL
bert Strauss assistant secretary, j. G..
Norris. The program was taken up
with devotional exercises. The first
topic for discussion, "How to Grow
Small Fruits, was opened by j. w. AL
lison, followed by Hon. Alva Agee. All
questions pertaining to the growing of
small fruits were satisfactorily answered
by Mr. Allison.
Second topic, "Lime and its Effects"
opened by A. T. Mcclure, followed by
j. NJ. Norris, Hon. Agee gave very
intelligent talk on 'Tntelligent Buying
of Fertilizer and Lime"
The question box caused some very
lively discussions, after which John
Metzger gave an instructive talk on the
creamery question. Then the institute
adjourned until 1880 p. NJ.
The first topic in the evening was
Potato Culture" opened by Noah
Strauss, followed by Hon. Agee "What
is the Proper Education for Country
Children" was discussed by j. NJ.
Norris and j. w. Allison. Then j. w.
Syphrit gave Il talk on "Graded Schools
in the Country" Singing by choir;
question box: address by Hon. Alva
Agee on "Our Homes and Home Keep
ers," after which institute adjourned
until $50 A. NJ. Friday.
The Friday morning session was
opened on time by singing. First topic,
"How to Make Good Roads, was opened
by Noah Syphritfollowed by Hon. Agee,
who told how six farmers took charge
OF a mile Of road and made it with but
little more cost than their road tax.
This subject was discussed by others
and quite an interest was manifested.
After dinner. which was served in the
hall, the meeting was called to order,
and the question box was the first thing
before the institute and IL was instruc-
tive. The address of Hon. Agee, '.How
to Make Public School Pay" made
favorable impression and was often re-
ferred to during the afternoon.
The compulsory educational question
was discussed pro and con, and the poor
farm question was brought before the
institute and it created quite an inter-
est. Adjournment until evening session.
The evening session was devoted to
teachers and pupils of the Phillippi and
McCreight schools. The children did
exceedingly we'll and their efforts were
appreciated by the audience. After
the program was concluded some OF the
Patrons congratulated the teachers and
pupils. During this session Prof. J. w.
Syphrit and w. f. Miller read excellent
essays. ALBERT STRAUSS, Secretary.
