A SUCCESSFUL MAN.

"One of the most successful men l
ever knew never had a thousand dol
lars ahead in his life," says Senator
Mason. ale had no aptitude for
making money, yet he continually
tried to. During financial panics and
failures, he kept his spirit unchanged
and unbroken. He never held an
office of any kind in his life. Litiga-
tion he avoided wholly. He never
INDUCED in controversies. He had as
few acquaintance, think, as any
man L ever knew. l regarded him
as successful becuse he was always
cheerful, Industrious and temperate,
always thoughtful of those about him,
and. in a matter of conviction, was
absolutely fearless. To others he
gave the same liberty of thought that
he demanded for himself. His motto
was: Principle, not expediency.'
When he died he left barely enough to
pay for his funeral expenses, and yet
I maintain that he was successful.
His conscientious life was an exam
pie to others. He was generous to a
fault, and certainly would have died
in better circumstances it he had not
been. The dollar mark is not the
stamp of success. You may attain
far greater success than that and
leave a much larger legacy"

Kitty's Race.

A feeling of gloom hung over the
stable. Old John Pratt was silent and
moody; Bill, the hostler, looked sad;
and the face of Jim, the colored boy,
seemed blacker than ever.
1t was IN the midst of our races
one of those events which call together
thousands of people to witness them.
This unnatural gloom and silence at
this particular part of the stables-a
part usually the liveliest of all
seemed strange.
Something unusual must have hap
pened! Perhaps Jack had lost an I'M
portant race; but that could not pro-
duce such an chect-for during his
long career as driver he had lost
many.
One stall, bearing the name of Kitty
on its door, was closed and locked.
This was unusual, for Kitty was the
favorite and pet of the stables. The
men cast occasional sorrowful glances
at the closed door and turned away
sadly.
John Pratt had from boyhood been
among horses; had a. an early age
learned to drive them; and when he
grew to manhood he made it his bust
ness to train them and drive them in
races-some for himself, but mostly
for others. John had a great heart,
and was kind to his horses, and was a
very successful driver. He had grown
gray in his calling.
He sat in the twilight, with his chair
tipped back against the stable, think
ing OF the events of the day that had
passed.
Kitty had been entered in one of the
races. John had felt confident that
she would win it, for he knew every
one of her competitors, and was sure
she would be able to out-trot them all.
She was harnessed to her light racing
sulky fifteen minutes before the time
for the starting of the race, and John
proudly gave her "a spin around the
ring" as he called it, Kitty was his
favorite horse. He owned her himself.
AS she sped down the homestretch,
front of the grand stand, murmur of
admiration ran through the crowd,
making sweet music to John.
The other horses were soon out and
the tircsome attempts to get fair
start began.
After trying seven times an accident
happened to the harness of one of the
horses, and delay of several minutes
ensued, during which the horses were
blankcted and led about by their
hostlers.
Then the broken harness was re-
paired, and they were ready once more.
John mounted his sulky, patted Kitty
gently on the flank: and drove toward
the starting point. AS he patted
Kitty she turned her head around to-
ward him, as if in acknowledgement of
his kindness, but in her eyes John
noticed peculiar beseeching look,

ONLY A MASK.

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be.
Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor
life, they are little if any stronger
than they we're. The tan on their
faces is darker and makes them look
healthier. but this is only mask. They
are still nervous, easily tired, upset by
trifes, and they do not eat nor sleep
we'll. What they need is what tones
the nerves, perfects digestion, creates
appetite: and makes sleep refreshing,
and that is Hoods Sarsapa:illa. Pu-
pills and teachers generally will find
the chief purpose of the vacation best
subserved by this great medicine
which, as we know, "builds up the
whole system"

BIRDS DRESS THEIR OWN
WOUNDS.

There are not few birds, says the
Toledo Blade, that possess knowl-
edge of the principles of surgery that
is not far from supernatural. The
woodcock, the patridge and some other
birds are able to dress their wounds
with considerable skill. A French
naturalist says that on several occa-
sions he has killed woodcock that
were, when shot, convalescing from
wounds previously received. In every
instance he found the old injury neat
ly dressed with down plucked from the
stem of feathers and skillfully arrang-
ed over the wound, evidently by the
long beak of the bird. In some in
stances a solid plaster was thus form
ed, and in others ligatures have been
applied to wounded or broken limbs.
One day he killed bird that EVIL
IDENTIFY had been severely wounded at
some recent period. The wound was
covered and protected by a sort Of
network of feathers, which had been
plucked by the bird from its own
body and so arranged as to torn a
plaster completely covering and pro-
tecting the wounded surface. 1t had
evidently acted as hemostatic in the
first placed and subsequently as
shield covering the wound. The
feathers were fairly netted together,
passing alternately under and above
each other and forming textile fabric
of great protecting power.
Birds are often found whose limbs
have been broken by shot with the
fractured ends neatly joined and liga-
ted. NJ. Dumonteil tells OF a wood
cock that had been shot by sports
man on the afternoon of certain day.
After long search the bird was given
up, but it was discovered the next
morning by an accident. In the
meantime the wounded legs were
found to be neatly ligated, an exquis-
itely neat bandage having been plac-
ed around each limb. The poor bird,
however, had, in dressing its wound,
entangled its beak with some long,
soft feathers, and had it not been dis
covered it would have died of starva-
tiOn.

SOMETHING GOOD.

A correspondent of the St. Louis
Globe Democrat writes as follows to the
paper on that subject:
"The first and last of the whole
matter of farming is profit and loss.
This is true not only of farming, but
of every avocation in life. Now, the
way to attain this profit part is the
question which every one is after.
How to make the farm pay in every
detail cannot be anawered by yes or
no, nor yet by any set of rules, as the
questions on certain points. There is,
however, one great field on which all
farmers can and will profit, which in
my opinion is economy. Now, 1 don't
mean stinginess. No, far from that.
Sometimes it means selfishness, but l
mean economy in the amount of
machinery you buy and let stand in
the fence corner. Economy in the
amount of stock you keep, either too
much, or not enough. If too much
you can't get profit on every hoof.
If not enough, you have waste of
grass and feed and that means a loss.
Economy in the kinds of stock. Don't
go wild on any one thing or pedigrees.
Economy on the kinds of grain you
raise and the amount to be put into
grain. Economy in your work. Don't
think you can make $40 day riding
around trading horses. Even if you
think there are some trivial things to
see to at home. These little things
are what help to make the large ones.
And don't think that you have to
work fifteen hours day in May and
June. It's all right to work while the
sun shines, but use economy. No
team can stand to work fifteen hours
day and keep sound. Oh, but l hear
some one say. II have got more land
than / can tend and must work early
and late and put in a big crop" No
you must not not. You may prefer
to do so, but you better farm less and
farm it better and harvest more and
let some one else till part of the land.
The farmer who tries to spend fifteen
hours a day in the field is incompe-
tent to look after the fruit, berries,
fences, hogs, cattle, sheep, colts, calves,
potatoes, garden, &c. Oh, but hear
neighbor Brown say that he can buy
more garden truck for one days work
with team than he can raise in a
week. That may be true, but when
the money comes in the fall for the
work done with the team the garden
truck is all gone and you do with
out.
"Now, in conclusion let me say
To have a model farm means an every
day employment, and that is what it
should mean. The business man and
the banker must be at their post
every day, and why not the farmer ?
Yes, he should be at work every day,
or he should have work for every day,
and work that pays him profit, too.
And if he has that and is contented
with his lot he will be happy and will
have enough and to spare.

JIM'S SW EETHEART

Mnther put on her Sunday best,
Her lilac wedding gown.
And white straw bonnet neatly tied
With strings Of faded brown;
We woke before the roOst ers crOwed
And started in the dew
To see the boat race. for our Jim
Was captain Of the crew.
You see, six olive branches came
TO bless our honest love-
Five slunber in the church yard green
With little stones above;
But one was left in mothers arms
Stern death was kind to him,
The youngest of our tiny flock,
The sturdy baby, Jim.
He took it in his curly head
To want a college course;
parted with the pasture lot
And sold the sorrel horse.
We sent him every dollar saved,
And made a seedy pair
In garments that had long outlived
Their days Of useful wear.
We did not want to shame our boy
And so kept out of sight
Behind a row OF waving flags
And fluttering kerchiefs white.
But when the slender sculls swept by
The rival crews abreast
We both forgot our shabby clothes
And shouted with the rest.
The sureing throng closed up in front,
We could not see our son,
But soon mighty cheer went up
And told US Jim had won.
The crowd took up the college yell
And sent it to the skies,
And college colors everywhere
Shook out their brilliant dyes
He stepped ashore. looked up and saw
His mothers wrinkled face,
And hurried to her through the ranks
OF broadclOth, silk and lace.
He never gave . single glance
Toward the pretty girls.
But kissed her on the withered lps,
And kissed her silver curls.
His sunburnt face was glorified
With proud and happy niles;
He did not mind because her hat
Was years behind the styles,
But led her out before his friends,
A figure quaint aud prim
In stiff, old fashioned lilac silk
"My sweetheart. boys" said Jim.

The old time Puritans, who merit
admiration, despite their strictness, had
these quaint rules for the selection of
a wife: "A good wife should be like
three things, which three things she
should not be like. She should be like
a snail, to keep within her house; but
should not be like snail, to carry all
she has on her back. She should be
like an echo, 20 answer when she is
called; but she should not be like an
echo, always to have the last word.
She should be like town clock, always
keeping time with regularity; but she
should not be like town clock, speak
ing so loud as to be heard over all the
town.
"Well," she said in some astonish-
mcnt as she looked up from her paper,
"woman certainly is invading all lines
of business. A girl burglar has just
been caught"

fully, "if the time is coming when
timid man will be worried at night for
fear there's woman under the bed"

change it,"

change my other name
