The Old and the New.

We cannot help admiring the fine
spirit of conservatism which leads
many men to cling to the faith of their
fathers in many good things. But
there is such thing as being too con-
servative. When conservatism means
ignorance, awkward methods, unsatis'
factory returns, it is not subject OF
reverence, but source Of stagnation
and p.verty. The true spirit of i'm
movement is not wild desire for some
thing new; cut it is willingness to
recognize that which is best and to
utilize it whe< her it conflicts or coin
cides with former ideas. Let us not
revere the old things too much, nor ex'
alt the new things merely because they
are new.-American Cultivator.

three-quarters of pound OF soap TO
one gallon of water, and half pound
of alum to four gallons of water, both
substances to be perfectly dissolved in
water before being used. The walls
should be perfectly clean and dry, and
the temperature of the air not above
50degrees Fahrenheit when the compo-
sitions are applied. The first, or soap
wash. should be laid on when boiling
hot. with a fiat brush, taking care to
form a froth on the brick work. This
wash should remain "a hours, so as to
become dry and hard before the Sec
oud, or alum wash is applied, which
should be done in the same manner as
the first. The temperature OF this
wash, when applied, should be 60 or 20
degrees Fahrenheit, and this also
should remain "a hours before sec-
ond coat of the soap wash is put on.
These coats are to be applied alternate

THE FARMERS WIFE.
wisconsin LeEislatoP Proposes
Plan Having . Tendency 70
Emanclpate Her.

Modern invention and scientific re-
search have done much to tighten the
burdens of the farmer. Inventive skill
has not only facilitated the opera
tons of husbandry by supplying Ia
bor-saving machinery, but it has
adapted many of the conveniences
and comforts of the city to farm hte'
But inventive genius has done very
little for the farmers wife. 1t has
relieved her of buttermaking through
the multiplication of the modern
creamery, but in doing so it has also
diverted the profits of this industry
to the farmers pocket, whereas the
proceeds of buttermaking formerly
were conceded by custom and prece-
dent to the farmers wife.
The farmer has the telephone and
free mail delivery, and he rides all
day long on sulky pillow or on a
reaper that cuts the grain and binds
it into sheaves. {: is doubtless only
a question of time when machines
will husk his corn and dig his pota-
toes. But the drudgery of the weeks

farmers wife. While the lord of the
fields rides in indolent comfort in q
sulky pillow the wife bends over q
washtub or wrestles with the hot
irons two days out of every week.
A promise of belated relief for the
farmers wife is seen in the PROPOSE
ton of Representative Frost, of Wis
consin, to es tablish a steam laundry
at every crossroads in the state, to
which the farmers washing and IRON
ing may be brought every week. AS
the state is dotted all over with
creameries and cheese factories, it
would be an easy matter to operate
steam laundries in connection with
them.
There is nothing impossible or VI
sionary about Mr.. Frost's plan. 1t
embodies the principle of cooperation
which has already been successfully
applied to nearly every form OF ag-
ricultural activity, from the old grlst
and sawmills to the modern cream
erv. Divest the farmers household
of this form of drudgery and then IN
troduce in the kitchen some OF the
modern labor-saving devices that are
used in hotels and the life of the
farmers wife will begin to approach
that standard of ease and comfort
long since attained by the farmer
himself.-Chicago Record-Herald.

ou- sturdy Country Boys.

There is no question of the influence
which the sturdy outdoor life has upon
country boys; and the fact that the life
is harnessed to regular, imperative du-
ties is to the boys advantage. He is
devel oped grad ually and healthily' his
mind following his physical strength
rather than the reverse. And around
him. for his everyday observation and
study, are the very best object lessons
possible for boys developing life.
He associates familiarly with nature
during his work and recreation; and
even during his sleep, the air which en-
tiers his open chamber window is laden
with the odors of apple blossoms or
the harvest season, or, perhaps, is the
pure. stimulating atmosphere of the
white, undula ting winter fields. But it
all goes toward making him stronger
sturdier, more self-reliant, more am
bilious, more observing. He is healthy
all through, phi sically, mentally, NOR
ully.-Farm Journal.

A BROTHERS. LOVE.

Lostant, ILL.,, July s.-James Watt,
of this place, by one little act, has
given a splendid example of that
never dying love which exists be-
tween brothers, no matter how far
apart they may be.
Mr.. Watt was a great sufferer from
Kidney Trouble and Nervousness.
He was very much used up, and al
though he had tried a great many
things, he had found nothing that
would in any way relieve him. Some
one suggested Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and he used six boxes, and was COM
pletely cured.
His first thought was for brother
in Belfast, Ireland, whom he knew to
be afflicted in the same way that
he had been. Mr.. Watt Immediately
sent a supply of Dodd's Kidney Pills
to this far-away brother, together
with his recommendation based on
his fortunate experience.

kind-hearted girl and hated to hurt
anyone's feelings.
If johnson resented the ridicule and
covert sarcasm of which he was the

him to unbend, and, because of his
lack Of insight into the true inward
ness of things theatrical, becoming
familiar when it would have been to
his advantage to have remained dig

To further complicate his relations
with his fellow players, johnson had
fallen head over heels in love with
Helen Marvelle and showed it, regard
ing her with dog-like devotion IN his
eyes that proclaimed his secret, which

them, as some grown persons do
when they drive oxen.
We thought: Now, here is q nice
picture" so it was arranged that
Harry Stebbins (for this is the boys
name) should bring his calves and
wagon over to Mr.. John Gould's the
next day and have their photograph
taken. The next forenoon Harry was
on hand with his outfit, and Mr..
Gould borrowed neighbours children
to help fill the wagon, for that is
the only way John has any children
of his own. The sun was just right
on the south side of the windmill,
derrick and large maple in the yard.
Sitting there in the morning sunlight,
Harry looked as pleased as a sure
enough farmer. Snap went the
camera, and the picture was taken as
quick as flash, and you can see all
just as they looked.
You will think it must have taken
Harry lots of time to break these
calves. Yes, it did, but then boys
have lots of odd hours, and Harry
used his in training his calves, be-
sides forming the habit of industry.
The managers of the fair invited
Harry to bring his trained calves to
the fair and go in the procession IN
the ring, and gave him premium Tor
doing so. That was why he was feel
ing so gay and proud coming home
that evening from the county fair.
Hisu little yoke of steers, one year
old, had won a prize all through his
own efforts. :.
One. day Harry's father wanted
some bran from the feed store, two
miles away, and Harry said he could
90 after it with his wagon and calves.
There was a big hill to come up on
the road home, and Harry's father
thought that they could not haul
more than 200 or 800 pounds, but Mr..
Stebbins was surprised to see them
bring home 700 pounds. Some time
before Christmas Harry sold his
calves for $45 to a man in the neigh
borhood who wanted young yoke
of oxen for his farm. He is break
ing another pair, getting them ready
for work on the farm. Apparently
this boy is cultivating love for farm
industries that will make the right
SORT of farmer.-George E. Scott

A Psychological Error
By William Foster Brown.
(Co2ytight 1901. b. Authors Syndicate.)

IN A sort of yelled way johnson was
the butt of the by Force of Arms
Company. Why Crandall had taken
him on was a question concerning
which that reticent person offered no
information, but it was generally con-
ceded-with possible exception
that as the new member showed very
little talent as an actor, the nearly
ended season and the minor part to
be filled accounted for it.
The leading man treated him with
lofty condescension; the soubrette
poked open fun at his staid ways and
labored efforts in acquiring the ''busi-
ness" of his part. and Ransom, the
comedian, remarked facetiously one
afternoon after johnson had failed
twice to respond to cues: ''That fell
low ought to be with Joe Jefferson as
understudy; he could do the 20 years
sleep in Rip out of sight" Miss Mar
velle, the leading lady, alone failed to
remark on any of Johnson's shortcom-
