"An educated woman is a diamond

says lady preacher addressing clas

Preachers and teachers, some preach
ers and all teachers, will now have
time to lounge in the shade, while the
farmers must put in their best ticks.
Never mind, when the short days OF
winter come the farmers will smoke
their pipes by blazing fires while the
teachers tackle naughty Bill, "saucy
Toni and "stupid JIM"
A great deal more is expected Of
commemorative attorneys than is
their duty to perform. Just in point
of this remark is an editorial recently
printed in the Dispatch which we re-
publish in this issue of the HERALD.
The commonwealth attorney should
not be expected to do the work Of a
detective, but rather it is the public's
duty to report law breakers to the
grand jury.
Let's make our roads "realn good
and then when all the seminaries and
all the colleges are crowded into the
cities, we will have "good time" all
by ourselves. We may not be able to
support the city-fed d. D., and so will
not have regular preaching at the
country churches. but we can have and
must have the biggest and best Sun
day schools "you ever did see." 1t is
comforting to know that it is no longer
necessary to go to Jerusalem to wor-
ship God acceptably.
Edison, it is said, was at the table
with one Of his assistants, waiting for
dinner to be served. In the meantime
he fell asleep, and the assistant re-
moved from before him the well-filled
plate and substituted an empty one.
When Edison awoke he remarked:
"I'm hanged if | haven't eaten my
dinner and forgotten all about it,"
This is a new version Of the political
joke on the negro and the 'possum.
We all remember that as another had
eaten it for him sit sat powerful light
on his stomick.r

5000 acres, on which he hopes to settle
some 100 Swedish and German fami-

would be well to improve the roads

man was induced to come to Prince
Edward by one short paragraph in a
Chicago medical journal. A few more

see that it : impossible. The world
is progressing and expanding. Even
those of us who might prefer 10 stand

of defense, however, we would be a
prey to tn |se who are possessed OF
them, and with them for defensive
purposes, We are, like the big bully
trained in rhgilism, apt to be on hand
whenever there is fight. We are the
more disposed, too, to be arrogant with
people who are not so well prepared
for offense or defense. And to secure
our point against equal or overwhelm-
ing odds, it is natural that we seek
alliances with friendly interests rather
than undertake the fight alone. So

force, there must be armies and navies,
there will be combines and alliances,
not exactly for the purpose of fighting !;
but for the purpose of attaining desired
ends without fighting. w. d. G.

FERTILIZING THE GARDEN.-There
is no better way TO fertilize the garden
than to haul fresh manure from the
stable and spread over the surface dur
ing the winter, says The Farmers
Voice. Contrary to the common be-
lief, there is never time when ma
nure is so rich in plant-food, as the day
it is made, and the sooner after that il
can he got to the place where it is 10
be used, the more value il will add 10
the soil.
1t is almost impossible to put too
much manure OH a garden. We would
not hesitate to put it foot thick Oh
the surface, for it will leach only so
much more plant-food into the soil ,
and by plowing time next spring will
be settled down until it can easily be
plowed under to furnish humus for the
betterment of the physical condition of
the soil.
Wood askes makes an excellent fer.
tilzer for the garden; but it should be
saved and applied on top of the soil
after it is plowed in the spring, as pot
ash is one of the plant-foods that may
be washed too deeply into the soil to
be reached by the roots of garden
plants, many of which are shallow
rooted.
