Is stated on good authority that the
various railway lines Of the country
spend each year more than million

There is n time when you may say
nothing and n time when you may say
something; but there never is a time

We judge OF mans wisdom by his
hope. knowing that the perception Of
the observation-disclosures of nature is an
immortal youth.
The pleasures Of dissipation are like
gaudy colors-they attract for mo-

the senses.
If we look at the world through the
spectacles Of our best thoughts it will
reveal a nobler aspect than it gets
credit for.
The affection between parents and
children, or between lovers and friends
Is deepened by demonstrations.
We love and are loved entirely as
we give ourselves colors which may

No sadder proof can be given by a
man of his own littleness than dis
belief in great men.
Ideals are mind-pictures drawn in

Marking sale Hogs,

Ear marks or tags are of very little
value in marking hogs for public
sales, as they cannot be readily seen.
Paint is Objectionable for many
reasons. The best plan is to stamp
the number with n stencil, using white
lead for this purpose. \ set of ten
numbers may be made in this way:
From halfinch board cut ten blocks
three by four inches in size and from
broom handles cut ten pieces four
inches longer Nail block to the
end of each handle. The figures are
cut from the leg of felt-lined rubber
boot. so that they will measure a little
less than three inches wide and four
inches high and SO that the fact of
the letter will be oue-half inch wide.
Tack these on each block of wood
with the felt side out using plenty
of small tacks three or four ounces in
size.
Spread the pure white lead on n
smooth board or pane Cf glass and
wet it with n very little japan and
turpentine, using no oil of any kind.
Apply your stamp 10 this and If of the
right consistency mark the hogs on the
left side, beginning just back Of the
shoulders. with the figure running
across the backbone and pointing tow
ard the right side. Press the stamp
