SEVERE RUSSIAN METHODS.
Illustrated by the Unpleasant EApe
rience of a Persistent Amer
lean Drummer.

Persistence may be good quality,
Int Judgment is a better one, and the
Young American in the following story,
told by Frederick Palmer, evidently
became convinced of it, says Youths
Companion.
An American drummer, fresh from
our direct methods of business, called
on NJ. de White, the Russian minister
of finance, to get certain information
neces sary for the sale of his goods.
The minister refused it. The young
man persisted. The minister still re-
fused. Then the young man declared;
"You are the only man who can give
me what / want. I'm not going back
to my folks and tell them that could
not do any business. I've got to know.
/ could get the same thing in two min
utes in America, and I'm not going to
leave the room until"
The minister pressed an electric but
ton. In walked two guards. The min
lister spoke to them in Russian, and d.
rectly the young man found himself
walking down the Nevsky Prospect
with an uneongenial escort.
As he thought the matter over in jail
he concluded that his hand was not
strong enough, as he putt, to bluff the
Russian empire. Within an hour he
was led back to the presence OF De
White, who told him that a decent apol-
ogy would save further trouble. After
the young man made 1t, De White gave
him the information. and with remin'
der that ii was not wise to be rude

that Bob was % years of age, and
with his brothers, was always la.

of her young children altogether tc
Sally, and neglected them and hel

who may have occasion to look up college
for their sons during the coming year would
do well to correspond with the President,
who will send them catalogue free OF
charge, az well as all particulars regarding

Won't work in Rain.

There's a queer thing about Ital-
ian laborers," said a contractor who
employs a great many of them, land
that is that they absolutely refuse to
work in the rain. Stop minute and
think. Did you ever see gang of
them working on the streets, dig
ging trenches or doing any other
manual labor, in the rain? Well, you
never did, and probably never will.
Just as soon as shower sets in, no
matter how slight, they will scram-
BILE for cover. II the rain continues
they will soon complain of feeling
sick, and knock off for the day. One
fellow will have sore throat, an
other will be doubled up with pains
in his stomach, and others will sud
denly acquire equally severe ailments
of all sorts. 1t is useless to attempt
to do anything with them, and pref
ty soon they will all go trooping
hcme. Why is it? I suppose it's
their natural antipathy to water"

AMERICAN SELF-DECEIT.
A Failing Which Calls for the Exer-
else OF Discipline of the
Intellect.

Our self-deceit is sign that wo
have neglected great interests con-
nected with the intellect, says II. d.
Sedgwick, Jr., in Atlantic. If our
minds were used to study not merely
material things, but also all other
ideas that surround and WITTY life,
we should not be able to lead this
amphibious existence of self-deceit,-
half in words and half in deeds. As
contemplation is our help to see life
as whole, and our guide toward
ripeness and completeness. SO we
may discover q help against self-de-
ceit in the observance of discipline.
Discipline is the constant endeavor
to understand, the continual grapple
with all ideas; the study of unfamil-
lar things, the search for unity and
truth; it is the spirit which calls
nothing common. which compels
that deep respect for this seemingly
infinite universe which the Bible calls
the fear of the Lord. Discipline
turns to account all labor, all expert
ence, all pain; it is the path up the
mountain of purgatory, from the top
of which contemplation shows man
life as whole. Discipline teaches us
to keep distinct and separate the per-
manent and the transitory; on the
moral side discipline teaches us that
right and wrong are not matters of
sentimentality. that will and energy
are ENTHUSIASTICALLY guides. Discipline
lies less in wooing success than in
marriage to unsuccessful causes, I'M
popular aims, unfattering ends. Dis
cipline is devotion to form; it teaches
that everything from clay to the
thought of man is capable of per-
feet form, and that the highest pur-
pose of labor is to approach that
form. Discipline will not let us mar
row life to one or two ideas, 1t will
not let us deceive ourselves, or put
on the semblance of Joy or grief like
Sunday coat.
For the holy Spirit of Discipline will fee
deceit,
And remove from thoughts that are without
understanding.
And will not abide when righteousness
cometh in
Discipline and contemplation bring
life to that ripeness which is the
foundation of happiness, of righteous
ness, of great achievement; they are
the means by which, while we wait
for the inspiration and leadership of
great men, we may hope to piece out
the brilliant but imperfect education
provided by our industrial civiliza-
ton, and help our sons to become, in
Lowell's proud words, the finest race
of gentlemen in the world.

Gently demonstrated the advisability
of keeping pigs on sows as long as
possible, consistent with the healthy
and strong condition of the mother,
says Farmers Guide. This for many
reasons, chief of which is that sow
and her pigs together will extract
more nourishment from n given guam
tity of food than will the weaned pigs
alone. The SOW and pigs were sepa-
rately weighed each week and any loss
or gain Of the SOW was deducted from
or added to the increased weight of the
pigs. The pigs were allowed to re-
main on the SOW for ten weeks, then a
similar course of feeding was carried
on with the pigs for seven weeks. The
sow and pigs consumed on an average

THE ABUSE OF SHADE.
the Farm House Produce I'm
healthy Dampness.

For our hot summers shade around
the house seems to be an absolute ne
cessity. 1t is well to remember how
ever, that, like most other good
things, we may so use shade that 1t
becomes absolutely harmful. 1t has
often been observed that while a home
is new and has little shade it is health
full, but after the house is buried un-
der trees the family begins to suffer
from various diseases, which when the
the trees were small and cast little
shade they were entirely free from.
The explanation is this: When a
house is buried in shade, it becomes
dark and damp. Darkness and damp
ness are both favorable for the growth
of molds, mildews and disease germs
Sunlight dries the house and kills out
right the germs of most of our formid-
able diseases. rheumatism and con-
sumption thrive especially in dark and
damp houses.
In the dark dirt accumulates; dis
ease runs rampant in dirt and damp
ness. And then in darkness and dirt
the arch enemy of man, the devil, too
Is at home, and we have the quartet
darkness, dirt, disease and the devil
Shade should be around the house,
not over it. Let there be open places
all around the house, SO that the sun
may shine directly upon It. This will
keep It dry and wholesome.
Another evil which comes with too
many trees is the shutting of of the
currents of air so necessary when II
IL very hot. Heat is much more en-.
durable with plenty Of moving air
than it is when there is no circulat ton
whatever. Plant trees, plant them in
abundance, but not too close to the
house. and when they become too
dense cut some of them out. Remem.

in all things" Hold fast to that which
is good."-G. G. Croft, in N. Y. Trib-
