THE WORK OF MARY A. BICKERDYKE.

Just about the time that our nation
al convention assembled in Fort
Worth, there passed away from the
scenes of earth, woman of almost
unparalleled good works-"Mother
Bickerdyke," the nurse general of
our civil war. Mrs. Mary A. BECKER
dyke was living in Galesburg, H.,
when the war began, 'taking in wash
ing" Her mind had had few oppor-
tunities for cultivation, but her heart
had the true graces of sympathy and
love, and her nature was blest with
common sense and quick intuition.
Her mother heart was SO stirred with
the first bugle call, that she went o
the front with no commission except
"from the Lord Almighty as she
told an officer who asked her by
whose authority she had set up her
soup kettles on the battle field. So
indispensable were her services in
field, camp and hospital, that General
Grant issued her pass permitting
her to go anywhere within his lines,
and to draw upon any quartermaster
for transportation for her supplies.
One day she ordered out Of the hos
pital drunken surgeon, who com
planned to General Grant. 'EOh, if it
is Mother Bickerdyke," was the an
swer, Il can't do anything for you.
She outranks me-" She introduced
into the hospitals system of
cleanliness and thoroughness which
saved the lives of thousands of SOL
diers and lessened the agonies of
thousands more. Since the war
Mother Bickerdyke has been laboring
for the soldiers orphans and for the
outcast and destitute among all class
es. 1t is said that she has provided
for II, 900 orphan children and rescued
thousands of SHINING men and women
in the slums of New York. In refer
ence to any wrong doer, she wou Id
say, "He's always sure of two friends
God and me-" During the forest
fires of 1871 in Michigan she was t
the fore of the relief work, and again
in Kansas, when the grasshoppers
stripped the state in 1874. For many
years her home has been in Kansas,
and from Bunker Hill of that state,
she entered upon her eternal reward,
November s, 1901, aged 81 years.

Make the Children Happy.

If, instead of saying: "You may not
do that now; wait until you are a
man." we would say: "You may do
something else now, while you are
young; later you cannot do it," we
would give children a certain valued
sense Of prerogative and take away
much of the envy which they feel
toward adults. 1t is surprising how
many occasions a mother finds daily
for saying: "Wait until you are
larger" or, "When you are older you
will understand"
In looking back upon childhood,
many fail to see it as the happiest
time of life, for, standing distinct for
ever, are thoughtless words which
stabbed far deeper than they could
to-day and times of disgrace which
seemed more than we could bear; also
the feeling that we were really of lit
tie Importance until we had full
growth was not encouraging We
were always stutfing ourselves with
oatmeal because we were told that it
would make us grow, and submitting
to twilight bedtime for the same rea-
son.
Realizing all this, it is surely worth
the effort to impress upon our chill
dren the beauty and the privileges of
their golden days, that, whatever
later life may hold for them, they can
say: @4Never mind; have had a beau
tiful childhood with its happiness

TEMPERANCE PAYS.

The recent determined and promis-
ing effort to enroll total abstainers in
life-insurance class by themselves
will, if it succeeds, prove one of the
most efficacious of temperance meas
ures. When total abstainers can OBJ
tain their life insurance ten, fifty, one
hundred or one thousand dollars
cheaper because they do not drink
Intoxicating liquors, the fact will
open many young mans eyes.
OF course the movement is entirely
Just, and should have been made long
ago. There is no reason why the rate
of life insurance should be raised for
upright people because of the bad
risks which are admitted; and every
drunkard, by his lowered vitality and
by thousand accidents to which his
passion renders him liable, is certain
ly bad risk.
The same principle might we'll be
adopted in other directions. The
taxes of every virtuous citizen, for
instance, are vastly greater than they
would be were he not counted in with
the drunkards. He has to pay for the
police which they make necessary,
for the prisons which they fill, for the
courts which they keep busy. He has
to support the orphan asylums for
the drunkard's children, and the
charitable associations that aid his
starving family. Reckon up the per-
centage if these heavy expenses that
are incurred by reason Of the drink
evil, and assess it upon drunkards
only, and the taxes of the rest of us
will not be worth grumbling about.
If man should put his hand into
our pocket and take out our purse,
no one would think it strange if we
waxed indignant, and even shouted
"Police!" But if we grow angry over
such depredations as these that the
drunkard is constantly making upon
us, and if we call upon government
to end them, we are no longer
thought sensible, we are dubbed 6

OUR FARMERS.
Tanning Maple Trees.

There are some fine points to be
observed even in such a simple mat
ter as tapping a sugar maple tree.
Here are five points, just for instance.
Point 1.-Only a sharp bit should be
used,-one that will make a cleancu
hole.
Point 2.-The hole need not be
more than three inches deep. The
Investigations of the Vermont Exper-
iment Station have shown that hard
ly any sap comes from a greater
depth.
Point 3-The hole should be care
fully cleaned of chips, because even
a very small quantity of waste matter
will clog the spout, obstruct the flow
of sap, and seriously reduce tho yield
of sugar.
Point "A spout should be chosen
of such a pattern as will allow the
free5t flow of sap. 1t should interfere
with the wood tissue of the tree as
little as possible. The bark, rather
than the wood, should play an i'm
portant part in holding the spout
firm.
Point 5.-The spout should be
strong enough, and its hold on the
tree firm enough, so that it will safely
support the sap bucket. Moreover
the spout should be easy to insert and
easy to remove. The various spouts
commonly sold at the hardware
stores differ materially in their merits
when Judged by the foregoing tests,
The sugar maker will do well to ex-
anime them all carefully before buy
ing his supply for the coming season.

Agricultural Education.

The better a man is educated for
the business he follows the better
prepared he is to take advantage Of
his business. And as tilling the soil
successfully is the most scientific
work that man can engage in, there
fore he should have thorough agri-
cultural education. Our boys and
girls should be taught more of the
practical working of nature, They
SHOULD be made acquainted with the
different properties of the soil which
produces that which keeps them alive
and is the motive power of all other
Industries. They should be taught
the different elements of plant life,
and how to produce the most with
the least labor and expense. The
time has come when our wisest men
acknowledge that it takes brighter
inJellects to successfully till the soil
than to read Blackstone. Our chill
dren should be taught in their homes
that farming is the most noble occu-
patton that man can engage in, and
farmers should insist that their chill
dren receive more education in that
direction in the future than they
have in the -ErcbGpge.

The Woman of Poise.

The woman of poise INDUCES in few
ordinations or superlatives and
does not waste enthusiasm over trifes.
She is gracious, but never gushing;
and she has acquired the habit of list
ening attentively, not awaiting with
ill-concealed eagerness pause in the
conversation to enable her to rush in
and take the floor. The woman of
poise never fingers after her good by
is spoken; never, in fact, under any
circumstances, talks long while stand
ing. She does not experience the
difficulty too many people have of
taking leave gracefully. She says
good by, gives you a bright smile,
and is off to the pleasure or duty
which awaits her. You do not find
out all there is to know about the
woman the first time you meet her;
you become acquainted with her by
degrees, and grow gradually into her
friendship. -Ercbdnge.

frequently heard from persons who

If such persons would only take no

The Countess Of Warwick is a good
type of a hard working woman. On
a recent Thursday she rose at five in

matters, and prepared and arranged

of the thirty eight evening schools Of
Greenwich.
She then worked hard all day at her
own Agricultural College at Reading.
