A sHOwMAN's PHILOSOPHY.

IAs everybody knows, the great show man wrote a book of which, of course h' was very proud, but the part of which h' was proudest was what he called his philosophy" printed in the appendix. II consists of epigrammatic sentences vel worth remembering. Here are some ol them:J
 Amusement to children is like rair to flowers.
 A happy child is likely to make ar honest man.
 If you would be as happy as child please one.
 Childish wonder is the first step 1T human wisdom.
 Childish laughter is the echo o1 Heavenly music
 The author of harmless mirth is s public benefactor.
 Innocent amusement transforms tears into rainbows.
 To best please child is the high est triumph of philosophy.
 I would rather be called the chil- dren's friend than the worlds king.
 He 2 that makes useful knowledge most attractive to the young is the king of sages.
 To stimulate wholesome curiosity in the mind of child is to plant golden seed.

MULES FOR FARM WORK.
What They Lack in Appearance They More Than Make Up in Actual
 Usefulness.

The question is so often asked by farmers who have never used mules on the farms, preferring horses, that we shall give few of the merits pos sessed by our long-eared friend. The mule is an easy animal to raise. He doesn't eat much as compared with a horse. An energetic mule will make B trip quicker than horse, though he may not go so fast-the secret of his speed is his uniform gait, steady and persistent. You hardly ever see sick mule; he seems practically i'm mune from the diseases which attack horses. A mule can endure more hardship than horse, will pull more in proportion to his size, and will "stay with it" longer. A mule is easier broken or trained to work than a horse, and is more reliable after initiated. If team of mules run away they look out for them selves, and though they may make some close turns and go through needles eye, so to speak, they usual ly come out unharmed. We would rather blow corn with a team of mules than with horses; they break down less corn and turn around quicker. Hot weather affects the mule less than the horse. A good, honest, business mule is worth, and will com- mand, good price any day in the week. The usefulness of a mule con- tinues longer than that of a horse. The mule is not handsome, doesn't make a good roadster, isn't stylish, doesn't do himself proud" if hitched to fancy yellow wagon or cart, but what he lacks in appearance he makes up in actual usefulness on the farm.

IA JUDGES WIFE pfLSo STRe2 eRfaRRH. 2F
She Suffered for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hope. Iess---Cured by
 Pc-ru.na.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1917 West 33rd st., Minneapolis, Minn., as follows:
 q suffered for years with pain in the small of my back and right side. It interfered often with my domestic and social duties and l never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctors medicine did not seem to help me any.
 Unfortunately a member of our Or der advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that l decided to try it. Although l started in with lit tie faith, I felt so much better in week that I felt encouraged.
 q took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing l could wish for, and thanks to Peruna I enjoy that now."-Minnie E. McAl- lister.
 The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to initiate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics arc to be found in many drug stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no druggist can get it cent cheaper.
 Thus it is that druggists are tempt ed to substitute the cheap limitations of Peruna for Peruna. It is done ev- cry day without a doubt.

MESS ROOM GOSSIP.

The percentage of illiterates among army conscripts in Italy is 36.
 The 90 biggest men in the Scots guards average feet 2h inches in height.
 Ninety-fve per cent. of British sol' diers can read and write, against 6e per cent. in 1860.
 The army allows about 33,000 pounds of food year for 15 men, but in the arctic regions people eat at least a quarter as much more. It costs three dollars a month more to feed man in Greenland than in New York.
 All European armies have certain extras weekly in the way of food. Sugar is given in England and France, two gallons of beer in Russia, one- half gallon wine in Italy, three pounds of fish in Spain and five ounces of butter in Belgium.
 Lieut.. Hobson, in the course of a speech delivered in Boston the other day gave it as his opinion that the faults of sailors as men were largely due to the fact that they were for the most part so much without homes and away from the influence of women.

Schemes in sheep Fecding.

The latest in sheep feeding is 8 moving pen. Two or three sheep are put in each pen, the pen being several feet above the ground, or about on level with the top of the grass. Then the pen is moved over the field by electricity. The idea is to pre- vent the sheep from trampling down the high grass. Wouldn't it be just as cheap to have several hundred sheep stand in line on platform and pull the whole field under the platform? The sheep could nibble of the ends of the grass as the field slid under them. Just a sugges tion, of course. Don't know how it could be done-Butchers Advocate.
