What is the use of making better
article than yonr competitor if you can
not get better price for il?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bette
so that while our profits may be small
er on single sale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent
~ before the public both are certain TO
be tried and the public will very quick
~ pass judgment on them and use only
the better one.

FARMERS NEED THEM.
Without Good Roads Life in the
Country Is Robbed of Its Most
Cherished Attractions.

Bad roads constitute the greatest
drawback to rural life, and for he lack
of good roads the farmers suffer more
than any other class. 1t is obviously I'M
necessary, therefore, to discuss the ben
efts to be derived by them from i'm
proved roads. Suffice it to say, that
those localities where good roads have
been built are becoming richer, more
prosperous and more thickly settled,
while those which do not possess these
advantages in transportation are either
at standstill or are becoming poorer
and more sparsely settled. If these con-
ditions continue, fruitful farms may be
abandoned and rich lands go to waste.
Life on farm often becomes, as re-
suit of "bottomless roads," isolated and
barren of social enjoyments and pleas
ures, and country people in some COM
munities suffer such great disadvan-
tages that ambition is checked, energy
weakened and industry paralyzed.
Good roads, like good streets, make
habitation along them most desira Bile;
they economic time and force in
transportation of products, reduce wear
and tear on horses, harness and We
hicles, and enhance the market value
of real estate. They raise the value
of farm lands and farm products and
tend to beautify the country through
which they pass; they facilitate rural
mail delivery and are a potent aid to
education, religion and sociablity.
Charles Sumner once said THE road
and the schoolmaster are the two most
important agents in advancing civilian
ton"
The difference between good and bad
roads is often equivalent to the differ
ence between profit and loss. Good
roads have a money value to farmers
as we'll as political and social value,
and, leaving out convenience, comfort,
social and refined influences which good
roads always enhance, and looking at
them only from the "almighty dollar"
side. they are found to pay handsome
dividends each year.
People generally are beginning to re-
alize that road building is a public mat
ter. and that the best interests of Amer
lean agriculture and the American peo-
pie as whole demand the construction
OF good roads, and that money wisely
expended for this purpose is sure to re-

VALUE OF APPRECIATION.
Little Understood by Thought
less Busy People.

II is said of Jesus that, in a certain
place, "He wrought no mighty works
there because of their unbelief." Here,
then, we see the great Master baftled
by certain force that is sufficient to
palsy His energy. What is that force?
He is as workman driving stake and
finding in the earth a dull gelatinous
obstacle into which it is impossible to
penetrate. What is that obstacle?
If we say it is lack of faith on the
part of His hearers, we are liable to
lose the outlines of the beautiful teach
ing of the incident in the mist of plati-
tude. Let us say, therefore, what at
bottom is the same thing, that the OBJ
stacle is want of appreciation.
Thus we may discover what is subtle
but essential ingredient in all finest
work. No teacher, preacher, artist or
writer can do his best work without
appreciation.
Take it in public speech; the rarest
ingredient that enters into and gives
fire and power to the orators words is
the reflex flow of enthusiasm that
comes back to him from the audience.
He may face stolid GOODNESS; if he
cannot melt 1t he fails; if he can over
come it, as did Mr. Beecher in Manches-
ter, its melting is an oil to his flame and
intensities his victory. And what mu-
stefan can play, what artist can paint
or what author can write, except he feel
that there is an audience, present in
fact or in his fancy, keenly responding
to his effort?
This, it may be, is one of the funda-
mental difficulties in what we call "the
labor problem;" it is that in some way
the handworker feels that his labor is
held in some contempt among mankind.
Men will never work in joy until they
feel that what they do is regarded with
esteem and dignity.
The unhappiness of families springs
from here. The glory of the woman will
not unfold, the sweet possibilities in
the wife will not appear, save in the at
mosphere of appreciation. Even so the
loving tenderness of the husband has
frozen and become dull because there
has been no sympathetic reception of
his endearments. Children have been
driven to despair and 10 mutinous per-
verseness because there has been a
stinting of praise and a plenty of fault
finding.
If we would have the flowers of love
blossom around US we must plentifully
water them with the rain of appreci-
ative words and encourage them with
the sunbeams of sympathy. If the
world is to find the richest treasures of
genius and talent it must learn to have
a sympathetic faith. Religion is not
only the most powerful, but it is the
most delicate, of the influences that
touch us; and that Divine influence can
not thrive and increase within us, to
warm and inspire the life, without it is
nurtured by our sincere appreciation
The best things of life-love, peace, God
are according to our faith."-Rev.
Frank Crane, in Northwestern Chris
tian Advocate.

FIGS AND THISTLES.

Comfort depends on thinking, not on
things.
The kings business requires haste,
but not hurry.
Christ in the heart is the equation of
life's variation.
The church's best ornament may be
rags in the pews.
1t is effort rather than achievement
that counts with God.
The man who condemns all others
condemns himself most.
The same fire that makes the dross
evident purges the gold.
You may flee from justice, but you
can never fee from yourself.
Character is the only reliable certiii-
cate issued by the school of life.
