Truth and RepOse.

A self denial no less austere than the
saints is demanded of the scholar. He
must worship truth and forego all
things for that and choose defeat and
pain so that his treasure in thought Is
thereby augmented. God offers to ev-
cry mind its choice between truth and
repose. Take which you please-you
can never have both.
Between these rs pendulum man
oScillates. He i'm whom the love OF re-
pose predominates will accept the first
creed. the first philosophy he meets,
most likely his fathers. He gets rest,
commodity and reputation. but he
shuts the door of truth. He in whom
the love of truth predominates will
keep himself aloof from all moorings
and afloat
He will abstain from dogmatism and
recognize all the opposite negations be-
tween which as walls his being is
swung. He submits TO the inconveni-
ence of suspense and imperfect opin-
ions, but he is candidate for truth as
the other is not and respects the high
est law of his being.-Emerson's "Es-
say on Intellect"

GettIng the Ma.io.i Pitoh.

Musical pitch has curious tendency
10 creep up. Ii is said that Bach's mu-
sic sounds much differently now from
what IL did when Bach wrote IT, be-
cause the instruments are now pitched
higher. In 1882 ii was found that the
pitch of high \ ut the Vienna Court
Opera had crept from the prescribed
40 double vibrations second TO 443,
and in 1885 this number had further in
creased to 400.
Accordingly musical conference
was held, and a resolution was taken
to re-establsh the old pitch of 43o vi
bratlons per second. Upon this an
aouncement the Reichsanstalt the inn
perial physical and technical institute
of Germany set up standard instru-
ments and has since tested and cor
rected many hundreds of tuning forks,
shortening them If they are too low In
pitch and thinning the arms If they
are too high
All the military orchestras of Ger
many are pitched alike, and the Reichs-
anstadt keeps the tuning forks correct.
This solicitous care Of the government
in preserving standards is one reason
why the world now goes to Germany IN
musical matters.-Pearsons

When to Prepare for Christmas.

plain: Fourth OF July and Christmas
are the two most nerve-tryiug periods
OF the year. To supply the demands OF
the former, nerves are often racked to
the limit OF endurance by the noise and
hustle of other people. That the lat
ter may prove enjoyable our brains are
yearly taxed with problems difficult,
and in point OF solution unsatisfactory.
"Iu order to avoid this difficulty
have this year planoed ahead. There
are many days during the summer va.
cation which might prove wearisome
without some labor OF love to vary
their monotouy; and with this fact in
mind, my trunk contained variety OF

Draining Wet PLACES.

Frequently wet places that produce
more frogs and mosquitoes than any
crop that can be planted can be drain
ed with a good pillow and team and
day or two with n shovel or hoe. says
Farm and Ranch 1t will always pay
TO do such work. because such places,
well drained. are very fertile; also such
areas frequently cause the neglect of
the crops on either side. because when
II should be cultivated the wet ground
will not permit it. and when that be-
comes dry enough the other will be too
dry for best results. We once drained
a pond of about two and a half acres
by digging well in the lowest point
down to Il sand bed All the water ran
into this hole and disappeared. This
will not work AT all places. But the
wet places should be made dry or
dredged and converted into fish ponds

The Foundation Of Character

One Of the most important things to
teach children is to be kind and merci-
full: indeed, it is the most important,
the cornerstone in the foundation OF
good character.
The father and mother are not only
the architects who design, but the
builders who lay the foundation of
their ofTspring's characters. A build
ing cannot be strong unless erected on
sure foundation; neither can char
acter be strong and wholesome which
is builtupon foundation OF selfshness,
unkindne SIS and moral weakness.
Mothers frequently tell their babies
to slap back when they are slapped, to
punish "naughty brother" or naughty
sister, this ill-advised counsel i'm
planting the idea of retaliation, which
is 10 direct opposition to true Christian
principles.
Parents place whips and pistols and
toy weapons of other sorts in their lit
tie ones hands and cheer and approve
them when they strike each other, or
strike pussy or the dog. What wonder
that when they grow little older they
fight and quarrel among themselves
and come to blows-blows we're ap.

There is no good reason why mares

proper management they should give
as good satisfaction in the harness as
