Laugh and Be Well.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell story. A well-told story is as
welcome as a sunbeam in a sickroom.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrows. Learn
TO stop croaking. If you cannot see
any good in the world, keep the bad
to yourself. Learn to hide your pains
and aches under pleasant smiles. No
one cares to hear whether you have
the earache, headache. or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears do well enough in
novels, but are out of place in real
life. Learn to meet your friends with
smile. The good-humored man or
woman Is always welcome, but the dys-
peptic or hypochondriac is not wanted
anywhere, and is nuisance as well.

Good On Land Or Ses.

The following story is told concern.

One of these decided that after vis-
iting his own friends he would spend

gotten the number Of the house. After
asking in vain policemen, postmen and
pedestrians he caught sight OF toy

1t is no uncommon thing to hear
persons say that they love flowers; but
watch them among the flowers and you
will see them pick fine specimen, toy
with it for a time, and then--calmly
throw it on the ground to be trodden
under foot. Love never wastes the en-
ergies of its object, and we may there
for set down this professed love Of
flowers as very unreal thing. The
waste, sheer waste, of plant life is in
credible, and it is not the children who
are responsible for the vandalism be-
trayed by punches of wild flowers that
strew the lanes, paths and porches.
Every child should be taught by those
who have it in charge that plants are
living things, playing their part in the
great scheme of life, scheme so un-
fathonable that it defies the most
searching scrutiny of even the most
powerful ntellects.-Current Litera-

Corn Oil Versus olive OIL.

The industrial and commercial pa
pcrs of continental Europe are calling
attention to the approaching compe-
tition of American corn oil. 1t is stated
that this oil is greatly appreciated
from an industrial point of view and
that its fine golden color and agree
able taste make it a possible rival for
older and better-known varieties of
table oil. Well-directed efforts have
been made for some time, notably at
the Paris exposition, to establish this
product in foreign markets, and from
present indications it would appear
that they have been successful.-De-
troit Free Press.

Market Uniform AOgs Only.

If man has good many hogs to
send to market, and intends to send
them along in different lots, it will
generally. pay him to select for each
lot animals of uniform size and fin
ish. Uniformity pleases the eye and
exerts an influence on every man,
though the man subject to the influ-
ence may not be aware Of it. The
buyer may not really intend to pay
for uniformity in his purchases Of
swine, but he will often do SO in spite
Of himself. If a man have number Of
pigs that are not up to the average
of the others, it will often pay him
to hold them back and feed them for
few weeks longer. A buyer will not
willingly turn away from a nice lot
Of uniform animals just to save lit
tie on the price Of each.-Farmers' Re.

peculiar quality of being poison to
insects. The instant that fly, mos
