A Great Exanlt,Ie.

There is nothing in the world SO
mighty as great example. The
story OF one mans heroism creates a
thousand heroes, and the vision of
one true saint attracts a thousand
devotees.
On reflection we all realize that our
lives have been moulded, not SO much
by books and ideas as by persons
Fatherhood and motherhood, together
with our nobler friendships, have done
more for us than abstract teaching.
however lofty : however pure. Love,
and pity an gentleness have passed
into our hearts from those who, NOV
ing before us in actual life, have man
ifested these qualities. We have
been shamed into nobleness by com
munion with the noble, and won for
purity by the vision of the pure Sci

WORKING WITH STRAWBERRIES.

Stir the soil by shallow culture as
soon after each packing rain as it is
in proper condition. This serves a
two-fold purpose. 1t kills all grass
and weeds easily, and long before
they attain dangerous proportions.
1t conserves moisture by breaking the
crust and destroying the capillary
tubers, through which water in the
soil passes upward to the surface and
is lost by evaporation.
We pillow the middle of the rows
with a small tooth cultivator, and
stir around and between the plants
with light hand hoes, taking pains not
to go too deep, especially near the
plants. An inch deep near the plants,
increasing gradually to about 2 in.
farther off is about right. Where
there is not much grass, forked pota-
to hoes answer the purpose perfectly.
Runners should also have careful
attention at this season. IF the soil
is rich and the season wet they crawl
about almost like snakes. If the
stool or hill system, the best with most
varieties, is to be followed, the rune, 8
must be clipped off as fast as they ap-
pear. If allowed to grow and dangle
on the parent plant, it is weakened
and the coming crop lessened thereby.
We have never seen but one runner
cutting device that worked well-a
boy with knife and good eye.
1t is exceedingly fast and simple
work, if done in time, and costs
little. Runner cutting machines
do not usually cut the runners close
enough to the old plBnt. 1t must
always be cut between the old plant
and the first joint, else plant will
form at the joint and dangle there, a
most harmful par asite, till winter kills
it.
Look we'll after the borders of your
strawberry fields and the ditch banks.
Dig up or NOW all weeds before they
get large enough to draw the neigh
boring plants. The drier the season
the worse the drawing. Trees also do
much harm this way by sending their
roots in the strawberry fields, robbing
them of moisture and nourishment
1t is good plan to cut these pilfering
roots. We do it by means of sharp
spade driven down deep around the
| outer border of the field next to the
trees, using grubbing hoe when a
root is found too large for the spade
to cut.-Erchdnge.

Power of Music.

There was a ''block" among the
teams in prominent business street.
A herdic had been overturned, and
several coal carts had been stopped
by load of lumber which having
succeeded in stationing itself across
the thoroughfare, was unable to move
farther.
Moreover, every man among those
barricaded had lost his temper, and
swearing was the order of the hour.
Suddenly, oh cheerful sound! a
lively street band began to play, and
the temper of the crowd changed as
as if by magic. The horses stood no
longer in peril of dislocated necks,
through the jerking and pulling of
their irate drivers; the excavations
ceased. Each man settled back in
his cart to listen. After a Strauss
waltz and spirited march the band
moved on, and then it became appar-
ent that the audience had experienced
marvellous change.
"Will give We lift, Mick?" called
one, the driver of the lumber cart,
jumping down to put his shoulder to
the wheel. ''It's big load ye've got"
"Throo for yell" cried another, also
lending hand. "Pat, lave that beast
of yours and show what you're good
for!"
They pushed With a will, and the
horses-who shall not say that they
did not work with redoubled vigor?-
pulled with will. The teams were
started and everything went on as il
nothing had happened.
Sits a foin band that" said one
man as he drove on.
"Dade, an it isl" cried another;
and hardly man among them but
whistled, or tried to whistle, his owr
version of the tune. -Erchange.

HOUSEHOLD.


clean meats are stomach digested
foods. Fats, after they have been
cooked, are difficult to emulsionize
and usually disagree with delicate
stomachs" writes Mrs. Rorer in the
Ladies' Home Journal. "Meats build
the muscular lean flesh and are not
burned to give force and energy un-
less they are taken in large quantities
and without carbonaceous foods;
then they will be burned to contribute
10 the heat and energy of the body.
1.-THE influence of heat on meat is to
make it more indigestible; hence we
should use the simplest and lightest
methods of cooking. To fry beef
steak is to spoil it. Tender meats
Should be broiled, roasted or baked;
this also applies to poultry. White
meats should be thoroughly cooked,
red meats slightly UNDERGONE; this
hoes not mean raw, but just done;
The coloring matter of the blood
changed and the albumen slightly
eoagulated. Boiled meats are easily
digested providing they are properly
cooked. Chopping tough meat before
broiIing will make it agree more easily
with the delicate stomach providing
rich sauce is not poured over it
Chopped meats may be broiled or
baked. All meats should be quickly
cooked at first until scared on the
outside, or sufficiently coagulated to
prevent the escape of the juices, then
Finished slowly.

THE CHIPMUNK'S STRIPE.
AN INDIAN LEGEND.

AN lNDlAN LE0ENOs
In the days of long ago, when all
was new, the animals spoke like men;
they all were medicine gods, and
they ruled the world. $50 runs an
Indian legend). And once upon a
time the badger, who had been APP
pointed their chief, called them to-
gether in great council to discuss
matters of the gravest Importance.
When all were gathered about the
fire, and the council pipe had been
passed around, he presented the fol-
lowing question::
"Shall we have night with its cool
ing darkness all the time, or shall
there be daylight with its sunshine
and heath"
Now this was a question of supreme
Importance, and the animals quickly
taking sides, violent debate ensued
the bear, the panther, the wolf, and
all the other animals of prey wishing
for continual darkness in which to
hunt, while the deer, the buffalo, the
squirrel, and all the others of their
kind wished for daylight. The dis
cussion became furious, and at last
the chipmunk, who wished for night
and day alternately, began singing:
''Lukia yattone kiapinhai, topinta
thleau kokshi lukia." (The light will
come; we must have light, which he
continued to repeat, meanwhile max
ing medicine. Now the bear hearing
this, began singing, and his words
were:
"Kwinte teatip vienna; telekina
lithi haona yam" Might is best;
darkness shall prevaiD.
While they were still singing, day
began to dawn, and seeing that the
chipmunk was prevailing, the oppo-
site party became very angry. In a
rage their leader, the bear, endeavored
to catch the chipmunk, but he ran
away, the, bear pursuing. Now the
chipmunk lived in a hollow tree not
far away, and as he darted into his
hole the bear struck at him. The
huge black paw grazed the little ami
mails back from one end to the other,
leaving a black imprint, and this
stripe has ever since been retained in
the chipmunk family.-Erchange.

A Serious Question of Profit.

Our boys are compelled to run the
gauntlet of nine saloons to get their
high school learning. Will it paw us
to educate our seven sons if one
should fall through this contamina-
ton? We feel that we are running a
great risk. "The saloon must 90
down." it must go by the ballot of
Christian men. Then our boys can be
saved. Our fine farms we have
worked, economical, and planned to
build up will be held by our children
and improved upon instead of being
squandered.- In diana Farmer.

To Make Mice out of Apple Seeds.

With a fine needle draw black sew
ing silk through the pointed end of a
good fat apple ST ed and clip it to
about the proper length for ears.
Then with a sharp penknife shave a
narrow strip from the under or fat
side of the seed and turn it out at the
other end for the tail. Now pass the
needle through a white card and
through the seed near the tail, and
again through the card, drawing it
down snugly. Repeat the same at
the ear end and you have a very
realistic mouse.-American Bog.

OUR FARMERS.
POTATO ROT.

The continued wet weather follow
ing the blight, is leading to serious
rotting of potatoes. The Vermont
experiment station is receiving SO
many inquiries as to the matter, that
the following statements seem timely:
The late blight or 'srust" which has
been SO prevalent this year, is caused
by fungus, a kind of mildew, which
is carried through the winter in the
seed potato and SO far as known only
in this way. Where such infected
potatoes are planted the fungus de-
velops in the potato shoots and finally
causes the blight of the leaves, pro-
viding weather conditions are at all
favorable. The germs or spores are
produced in enormous numbers on
these blighting leaves and by these
the infection is spread to neighboring
plants. Many of the spores fall to
the ground also, and invading the
tubers, cause the rot. Spraying with
B ordeaux mixture kills these spores
and so prevents both the blight of
the leaves and the rot of the tubers.
The plants at the Experiment station
farm, which have been sprayed, are
as green and healthy now Sept. g. as
they were a month ago, whereas the
rows in the field left unsprayed, are
dead. Many farmers throughout the
state have had equally good results
from spraying. Where the plants
were sprayed little rot is developing,
but in the unprotected fields where
the tops have blighted, rot is serious.
The question is being asked whether
it is better to dig at once in these
fields. The Experiment station Off
GERS advise prompt digging. They
have not decided this by experiments,
however, SO are now carrying on
some to settle the matter. A half
dozen fields have been selected on
different soils, where the vines are
blighted. One fourth of the rows in
each field were dug on August %;
one-fourth on Sept. 6; one-fourth
will be dug Sept. IS, and the last
fourth on Sept. 80. The conditions as
to total yield, amount OF rot and keep
ing qualities will then be compared.
Some other interesting experiments
upon potatoes, are also under way,
the results of which will be published
later. One of these is to determine
whether when the vines make very
rank growth, it is better to cut them
back. Another seeks to find out
whether spraying the soil will tend to
check the rot.

being made in the service, the New York
Commercial Advertiser says: in most din
Ing cars the kitchen, situated in one end of
the car, opens into a passageway inside Of
the car, and the fumes of the cooking and
occasionally smoke are waited into the car
while passengers are at the tables. All
the dining cars on the New York Central
are being constructed SO that there shall
be no opening from the kitchen into the
interior of the car. The only approach
to and exit from the kitchen will be by way
Of the platform vestibule, about half Of
which is made a part of the Kitchen This
change will be greatly appreciated by
patrons of these cars.

the intention to make 1t as perfect as pos
sible in every respect.
