See here, Mr.. Farmer, says farm
I exchanges: You are done using those
1 plows, harrows, cultivators, hoes, rollers,
binders, mowers, and some ofyour other
machines, and you will not need them
again for several months, but you will
need them again, so we want you and
the hired man and the boys to see that
they are all under shelter, where the
| roof does not leak, and the snow does not
blow through.
1t is incontestable that the intellect o.
our country is fast being represented by
our daughters. The last report of the Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction OF
Pennsylvania is significant. 1t shows the
number Of high school graduates in this
state for the year 1899 to have been 3l76
of which 2,l22 were girls-or nearly
twice as many girls as boys who pursue
the public high school course. The ma
iority of teachers in the state are women
! A well known writer on hygiene
condemns the habit of indiscriminat'
kissing and says the proper way to give
kiss is to press your lips lightly, bu

Which inspires the epicure of tho Oi
City Blizzdrd to record this prcfounC

-Indiscriminate banging at anythln
and in any direction came near costin
Ralph, eldest son of Treasurer Henry, a
eye last Saturday. Ho was in the wood
with some other boys hunting, and whe
a pheasant flew up some one near tn
boys fired. One of the pellets struc
Ralph on the nose directly between til
eyes and imbedded itself so deeply that
could not be extracted without consiael
rble danger. Another pellet struck Ne
son Russell on the fleshy part of the han
= but "didn't hurt much" The boys sa
= they don't know who fired the shot, bI
it was quite likely one of their ow
crowd that had gotten strayed a few rod
from his companions. With so man
g boys in the woods ranging in age all Il
e way from 9 years up, and provided wit
j every description of firearms, it is
:, wonder we haven't had a whole lot Of a
It cidents to record since the hunting SCI
son opened.
