BUoYANCY MELLOWS AGE.
Years Do Not Count If the Feeling
of Youth Still Stirs With
in Us,

People grow old by thinking them
selves old. When they reach the age
of 40, so or 60, they imagine that they
look like others of the same age, and
that they soon will be useless, unfit
for work and unable to perform their
wonted duties. AS surely as they
think it it will come true, for thought is
creative, says a philosophic writer.
How many of us can say with Job:
"The thing which 1 greatly feared is
come upon me-"
The time will come when children
will not be allowed to celebrate their
birthdays; when they will know that,
by thinking themselves young, they
will remain young, and that they will
cease to grow old when they cease
to believe in old age. The body is
built up of beliefs, and our convictions
are stamped upon every fiber of our
beings. What we believe, what we
think, that we are; so people remain
young in spirit never grow old.
Not one of a hundred students. of
whom the writer was one, under Oliver
Wendell Holmes, at Harvard, ever
thought of him as an old man. al
though he had then passed his eight
ieth birthday. His spirit was so young
and he was so buoyant, so fresh and
full of life, that we always thought
of him as one of ourselves. His vi
vacity and joyousness were contagious.
You could not be in his presence five
minutes without feeling brighter and
better for it. The genial doctor never
practiced medicine, yet he did more to
relieve human suffering than many
praoticing physicians. His presence
was tonic; it was perpetual de-
light to be near him.

THREE WOMEN'S ERAS.
The Ages of Queens Elizabeth, Anne
and Victoria Were Remark
able Epochs.

It is a remarkable fact that three
sovereign ladies-Elizabeth Anne and
Victoria-have given their names to
the three greatest periods of English
literature, which were also eras of
notable military conquest. Elizabeth,
herself learned but stilted and pc
dantic writer, gave an impulse to au-
thorship which eliminated in Shake
speare and Bacon and brilliant gal
aXy of lesser lights. The reign of
Queen Anne, dull, commonplace, in
dolent woman with no intellectual as
pirations, was rendered illustrious by
the genius of Prior, Pope, Swift, Adj
olson, Defoe, Congreve and other au-
thors, while Newton and Berkeley
were making valuable discoveries in
science, then in it's infancy, and Marl-
borough was winning brilliant VIC
tories.
Space fails for mention of even the
foremost of the writer's who have lent
honor and renown to the Victorian age
names familiar as household words.
Victoria herself made some modest es-
says in uthorship-chronicle of the
travels and domestic life of the royal
family in its various resorts, which
greatly endeared her to her people, for
even the most trivial personal details
of the reigning house are of surpass-
ing interest. Remarkable as were the
literary achievements of the Victorian
age, and worthy as were the contribu-
tions to art and music, they fall far
below the signal triumphs achieved by
science in this reign of almost 81 years
the longest in British annals.
greater than all the achievements
of art, literature and science, which
have lent such luster to the Victorian
age, says the Minneapolis Tribune, are
its abolition of ancient abuses, the edu-
cational and philanthropical activities,
its efforts for ameliorating the horrors
of war and for settling international
difficulties by peaceful arbitration
rather than by the sword.

in the lower side of (but not en-
tirely through the cap piece. The
pins of the lower ends should be of
metal. Pieces of sawmill plate, in
which holes have been punched,
should be fastened to the sill for
these pins to play in. Thus the pins
will be kept from wearing the wood.
A similar plate should be placed
where the gates meet, to accommo-
date the vertical bolt on one of them.
The other gate should have latch.
The Stats and braces may be made
from stuff ~ inches thick and four
inches wide. They are attached to
each other and to the uprights with
bolts. The short braces are on the
opposite side of the Stats from the
long ones, so that the same bolt may
go through both where they over
lap. When finished, the frame and
gates should be well painted.
1t will be seen that these gates can
be used singly or together, and that
they swing in either direction. 1t
is always a convenience to have a
gate swing away from you, no mat
ter from which side you approach.

GATE THAT CANNOT SAG.
Invented by a New York State Farm.
er who Considers 1t a Device OF
Rare Merit.

A subscriber living in Westfeld,
Chautauqua county, N. Y, who pre-
fers that his name should not be
used in print, sends to the New
York Tribune a description of a gate
which he constructed several years
ago on a farm where he then lived.
Its great merit is that it never says.
For gateposts he used eight by
eight timbers, set fully ~ feet apart.
With the idea of letting load of
hay through, the cap piece ought to
be fully IL feet above the ground,
and may be advantageously cut out
of six by eight stuff. The posts
should be set in stone or cement, so
as to be proof against the action of
the frost. A sill or threshold is also
provided. This should measure six
by eight or eight by eight and con-
sist of oak or chestnut. The better
the timber for the rest of this frame
the longer it will last.
The full length upright of each
gate is made by four by four hard
wood scantling. The upper ends are
rounded, and inserted in holes bored

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Farmers "out west" wonder when
the price of land is going to stop as
cending.
Keep grade cattle if you can't keep
thoroughbreds, but don't keep the
"down grade" sort.
The average May pig with average
care does better by fall, usually, than
those narrowed in March.
A farm without modern conven-
fences and improvements is the one
the boys are going to leave.
Haul out the manure now; do not
wait until the time for planting ar
rives. On winter wheat spread it as
you draw it.
Some one has said that some cows
give milk and others give trouble.
True. The one that gives trouble gives
little milk, usually,
Heredity is all eight, but there is
something in feed, care and general
management of the calf and heifer for
making good milch. cows.
Flax is crop that will grow in al
most every climate, but there is little
money in it. Use good, bright seed, if
any.-N. Y. Tribure-Farmer.

THE AGE OF TOOLS.
Farmers Must Keep Pace with MOO
ern Progress or They VIII IN
eyitably Fall Behind.

The tools and machinery of Amer
lea are capturing the world. The ma
chine, with it's unerring accuracy, has
taken the place of human hands III
every department Of industry, and has
immensely increased the productive
capacity of the artisan. On the farm,
too. the same rule controls. The mod
ern binders have superseded the old,
slow methods of the harvest, and made
the great grain fields a possibility.
To the effective use of machinery on
the farm is due the great exporting
capacity of the country, and in every
ayocation in life it is the man behind
the machine that is moving civilization
forward.
Brain power is taking the place of
human muscle, and the result is an
elevation of the farmer to higher
plane, requiring the application of
