Fancy farmers who have made their
fortunes in the city and go out in the
country to build houses with all the
modern improvements and make farming
luxury may not need any solace. but the
yeomanry who got their living out OF the
soil and who that way have to clothe their
families and educate their children and
pay their taxes aud meet the interest on
mortgaged farms-such men find terrific
struggle. I demand that office seekers
and politicians fold up their gaseous and
imbecile speeches about the independent
life of farmer and substitute some word
OF comfort drawn from the fact that they
are free from city conventionalities and
CITY epidemics and city temptations.
Encourage the doctors. You praise the
doctor when he brings you up from an
awful crisis Of disease, but do YOU praise
the doctor when. through skillful treat
ment OF the incipieut stages of disease, he
keeps you from sinking down to the awful
crisis? There Is a great deal Of cheap and
eartless wit about doctors. but 1 notice
,.nar the people who get of the wit are the
first to send for a doctor when there is any,
thing the matter. There are those who
undertake to say in our day that doctors
are really useless. One man has written
book entitled, Every Man His Own Doc
tor" That author ought to write one more
book entitled, Every Man His Own Un-
dertaker.' "Oh," says some one. "phy-
sicians in constant presence Of pain get
hard hearted" Do they? The most cele-
brated surgeon Of the last generation stood
in a clinical department Of one OF the New
York medical colleges, the students gath
cred in the amphitheater to see very
painful operation on little child. The old
surgeon said: Gentlemen, excuse me il
1 retire. These surgeons can do this as
we'll as can and as get older it gives me
more and more distress to see pain"
Encourage the lawyers. They are often
cheated out OF their fees, and so often have
to breathe the vii,ainous air of courtrooms,
and they so often have to bear ponderous
responsibility, and they have to maintain
against the sharks in their profession the
dignity of that calling which was honored
by the fact that the only man allowed to
stand on Mount Sinai beside the Lord was
Moses, the lawyer, and that the Bible
speaks of Christ as the advocate. Encour-

Encourage the teachers In our public
schools-occupation arduous and poorly
compensated. In all the cities when there
comes fit OF economy on the part OF OIL
cials the first thing to do is always to cut
down teachers salaries. To take forty or
fifty boys whose parents suppose them
precocious and keep the parents from
finding out their mistake; to take an empty
head and fill it; to meet the expectation OF
parents who think their children at fifteen
years Of age ought to be mathematicians
and metaphysicians and rhetoricians: to
work successfully that great stufing ma
chine, the modern school system. is very
arduous work. Encourage them by the
usefulness and the everlastingness and the
mag nitude o: their occupation. and when
your children do we'll com pliment the in

Encourage all invalids by telling them
how many you have known with the same
ailments who got well, and not by telling
them OF their sunken eye or asking them
whether the color of their cheek is really
hectic or mentioning cases in which that
style Of disease ended fatally or telling
them how badly they look. Cheerful
words are more soothing than chloral
more stimulating than cognac, more tonic
than bitters. Many an invalid has re-
covered through the influence Of cheerful

gentleman in England died leaving his
fortune by will to two sons. The son that
staid at home destroyed the fathers will

absent was dead and buried. The absent
brother after awhile returned and claimed
his part Of the property. Judges and
jurors were to be bribed to say that the re-
turned brother and son was no son at all.
but only an impostor. The trial came on.
Sir Matthew Hale, the pride of the English
courtroom and for twenty years the pride
of jurisprudence, heard that that injustice
was about to be practiced. He put OF
his official robe. He put on the garb of
a miller. He went to the village where
that trial was to take place. He entered
