THE HIRED MAN.
MUSCLE NOT THE ONLY QUALIFICATION
KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

At this time of the year most farmers
usually secure their help for the coming
season. In considering the quslihca-
tious of the prospective hired man few
points receive less attention than they
Should. Generally the prime qualifiea-
ton is the amount of work one can give
for wages paid. A few other points
might we'll be considered.
Perfection in humanity cannot be
found, and the hired man has his fall
ings in common with the rest. Perhaps
no more so, on the average, than MS
employer, One of the first considera-
tions regarding the hired man should be
his morals. The most important crop
being raised on New England farms Is
the bows and girls. See to it that you
are placing nothing in their way that car
possibly contaminate their morality
Get the best you can In this respect
Such help may perhaps not be able TO DC
as much work as some others, out IN the
long run YOU will fad them the cheap
est. Such help will be more attentive
and trustworthy.
Don't hire a man who is slovenly and
careless in and about the house. The
farmers wife has enough TO look after
without having her burdens increased by
such help. Strive to make her wors
lighter as well as your own.
Again, don't get man who Is marc
with the team. Team work Is one OF tht
most important items of farm labor, sno
the man who is a good teamster anc
treats the team as it should be is worth
much more than the other fellow who
NAV have more muscle and less brains.
One cannot fiud all these good quail
tiles developed to perfection in any
! single individual. Farm help is getting
so scarce that the farmer is oftentimeS
Obliged to put up with help that h'
would not otherwise have. But in en-
gaging his help let him always give th'
man who has the most of these goot
qualities the preference. Find a MAJ
whom YOU can take into the family OF
an equality with its members, and tlea
him accordingly.
| Who knows but that in so doing tn
farmer would In great measure soiv'

NAPOLEON'S EYE.
One Look From 1t Explained His
Power Over Men.

One Look From 1t Explained His
Power Over Men.
In 1887, while working in London as
a curate to the Rev. Canon Fleming, /
was called in my wears absence to ad-
minister q religious service to an old
admiral in Eaton square. The admi-
rails name was Eden. After the serv-
ice was over he took my hand and
said: "Shake hands with me, young
man. There are not many alive who
can say what can say. You are talk
ing with q man who has talked to Ma
poleon the Great" "Sir," said, that
Is history. May l hear more" The
old admiral then told me that he was
once returning with the fleet-I think
from the West Indies, but Of that am
not sure-and touched at St Helena.
The admiral said, 81 am going up to
Longwood to pay my respects to Napo-
leon, and the senior midshipman comes
with me-"
T was the senior midshipman," said
the old gentleman, "and SO went. We
waited for Napoleon in an outer room,
and you must imagine how eagerly l
expected his entrance. The door was
thrown open at last, and in he came.
He was short and fat and nothing very
attractive but for his eye. My word,
sir, have never seen anything like 1t.
After speaking to the admiral he turn
ed to me, and then understood for the
first time In my life what was the
meaning of the phrase, "A born ruler of
men, l had been taught to hate the
French as l hated the devil, but when
Napoleon looked at me there was such
power and majesty in his look that If
he had bade me lie down that he might
walk over me would have done 1t at
once, English MILDLY though l was.
The look on Napoleon's face was the
revelation Of the man and the eXplana-
ton Of his power. He was born to
command"
Such was Admiral Eden's version to
me Of an Incident which at 90 years old
or thereabout seemed to him as fresh
as If 1t had happened only the day be-

EFFECT OF EXPOSING POTATO SEED.
Some interesting and valuable experi-
ments were made last season by the On
tario experiment union in time and
method Of planting potatoes. Fifty
three practical farmers reported on the
effects of planting directly after cutting
the seed, and planting five days after
cuttino it. BY the first method little
over Us bushels to the acre were obtain
ed, by the second Isl l.2 bushels.
1t was noted on one farm that there
was difference of 25 per cent in yield
and quality of a. few rows in the field.
The only way in which the difference
could be accounted for was the fact that
some Of the potato seed had been expos
ed in the rows to the sun for few hours
before covering.
The effect Of coating the seed with
plaster was also tested. The coated
seed gave an average of Isl l-2 bushels,
the uncoated l65 bushels, and the prod
uct of the coated seed was considerably
better in quality. The work of coating
the seed can be done very quickly, either
by throwing the seed into the plaster or
sprinkling the plaster over the seed with
shovel and mixing it. Probably the
great advantage of the plaster is in pre-
venting seed from dying too quickly

The Nefghbors' Prediction
Miaht Come True.

Mrs. W. E. Tewksbury, of South
Atkinson, Maine, tells an interesting
story concerning her baby daughter.
1t is partly pathetic, too.
cannot tell it precisely as she tells
1t, because l am not a mother; but l
can tell it without adding to the fGcts.
When the baby was only four weeks
old punches formed under her eyes.
These bunches increased, the child
suffered terribly, her eyes watered con-
tinually, her cheeks lost all color, and
then-the trouble having become much
worse-the heavy hearted mother feared
that the neighbors' prediction, that
she would not raise the little one, might
come true.
There were now sad days.
The mother tenderly cared for the
little, innocent eyes, but all in vain,
and then a doctor, who thought the
trouble arose from obstruction of the
tear passages, made an incision at the
side of each eye. Just think of it
A great deal of matter was dis
charged, and temporary relief afforded;
but the punches remained as large as
ever, and the mother bore the same
burden of anxiety the child might not
tre.
Then came sadder days, for two
sores, which were regarded as ominous,
broke out on the little sufferers head.
At this time the mother read of the
terrible symptoms and wonderful cure
of the scrofulous baby of Mrs. N.
She concluded that her child was
afflicted with scrofula, and thought
the treatment which cured the Guerinot
baby might do as much for her own,
though her husband was doubtful.
She wrote to Mrs. Guerinot and upon
receiving kind reply, confirming what
she had read, bought bottle of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, cake of Hoods
Medicated Soap and box of Hoods
Olive Ointment:
She now felt more hopeful; there was
less darkness in her life; for she be-
lieved she had secured the means of
permanently relieving her little one,-
nay, of saving its life.
She gave the sarsaparilla in doses of
two drops at first, washing the punches
and sores with the soap, and applying
the ointment; and in less than q week
she noticed improvement.
Rejoicing, she continued the treat
ment, gradually increasing the dose of
sarsaparilla from two to ten drops.
And on Oct. 20, 1900, she said, with
gratitude beaming in her face, that she
could not say too much in praise of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for, assisted by the
Olive Ointment and the Medicated Soap,
it had removed the punches and
brought about the healing of the In
cisions, and had otherwise wonderfully
improved the child. One sore had healed
and only scab remained of the other.
And she also said, We firmly believe
Hoods Sarsaparilla is wonderful
medicine, and we hope If any notice Of
our baby's case be published, it will
induce mothers having afflicted chill.
dren to give Hoods Sarsaparilla and
other preparations trial.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequaled for
the complete eradication Of scrofula
and the permanent cure of all its mani
festations, bunohes, tumors, cutaneous
eruptions, inHsmed eyes, sore ears,
rickets, wasting and general debility.

somefhinD In a. Name.

The advantages that fall to the lot OF
a man whose surname occurs early IN
an alphabetical list are well known. AS
candidate for office upon an Austria
lian ballot, for example, a man named
Abbott has a far better chance than
the most eminent Zwelgler. But the
benefit that comes from the possession
of n short name has not heretofore been
generally recognized. Not long ago the
promotion of one Of the auditors of
the treasury department at Washing
ton created vacancy to which, upon
formal recommendation to that effect,
the candidate having the shortest name,
being also competent man, was ap-
pointed. His chief duty Is to aftix his
signature to accounts, and as he needs
to make but six letters in signing he
can do twice as much In a day as
man whose name contains II letters
