WAYS OF THE WORLD.
PatertamiHas Who Takes affection

AS people grow older they become more ana

younger members of their own family-out. al

case and feel that they desire beyond all else the

manners to those of whom they are fond II is
very much to be questioned whether what is caiien
natural affection is as much of a human instinct
it is believed to be-that is to say, whetner te
love for ones relations Independent of the lat

Take the fathers of families. for instance, now
many are crusty and fault finding, and how few
really endeaVor make themselves pleasant COM
panions to those about them. Such men consloer
the love of their children as their right and never
doubt but that it is given to them: whereas. IL
is simply the conventional outer shell OF afiectlon
that they receive, the real pith and substance
being totally lacking. Their presence oppreSses,
chatter is hushed at their approach and the fam
lily would really be much happier without them-
Sometimes but not often, the relationship OF
mothers to their children assumes the same LOT
and more naturally trivial and it is far easier for
them to enter into the interests and pursuits OF
very young people than men, 1t is difficult ana
often it is Impossible for the latter to become
really companionable, but it is always In thelr
power to make themselves loved for their kindness
and consideration and it behooves the heads OF
the household to consider whether they would
not rather be loved than feared, and act accord

"A mouse protecting Mayor as a feature of

Agriculture in Honduras.

Reports of United States consuls
show that agriculture is rapidly de-
veloping in Honduras. The products
are largely those that can be sold to
the United States, and are such as
compete but little with products raised
in this country. Half a million BUSH
els of corn and 10000 bushels of red
beans are raised for home consump-
ton. A little wheat and large quaint.
ties of rice are also being produced.
But tropical fruits are the products
that promise most. Over $4,000 acres
have been planted to banana trees, and
last year over three million buAchea
were harvested. About 10000 acres
of plantains have been planted, and
last year over 100000 of this fruit
were harvested. Over a million cocoa
nut trees were last year reported in
bearing, and 100000 worth Of that
fruit was exported. Oranges, lemons
and lines are being grown in ever
increasing quantities, as well as plan
tations of coffee trees and the fields of
tobacco. About 5000 acres are re-
ported as producing indigo. AS yet
only about 5000 acres of land are I'M
der irrigation, but it is said that with
irrigation the whole country can be
made veritable garden.

How About Your Well?

The following, taken from q docu-
ment issued by the Michigan State
Board of Health, should receive the
thoughtful attention of every one:
"The most scrupulous care should
be taken to keep the present sources
Of drinking water pure, and to pro-
cure future supplies only from clean
sources. The general water supply of
cities and villages is a matter of
great concern; 1t should be procured
from places where there can be no
probability of immediate or remote
contamination. The well-known out
break of typhoid fever at Plymouth,
Pa, where over a thousand cases and
one hundred and fourteen (114)
deaths occurred, is apparently an H.
lustration Of how great a calamity
may follow the fouling of a general
water supply by the discharges of
person sick with typhoid fever. When
there is no general water supply, nor
good sewers, much may be done to
protect wells by the abolition Of cess
pits and privy vaults, by the use of
dry earth in privies, and by the fire.
quent removal therefrom of all their
drain into wells unsupported by those
who use the water Should typhoid
fever discharges pass into such
privy an outbreak of typhoid fever
among those using the water from a
neighboring well would be likely to
occur. II such well were the
source of the general water supply of
city, typhoid fever might soon be
epidemic there. There Is
good reason to suspect the water of
we'll whenever a vault is situated
within a hundred feet Of 1t, particu-
larly If the soil be porous. In nu-
merous instances fluids from excre-
ia have leached into wells from much
greater distances; and 1t has been
proved that well thirty rods from a
cemetery received water which had
filtered through the soil of the ceme-
terry. Dangerously contaminated
water may be and often is found to be
clear and colorless and to have no
bad TASTE" The noted instance at
Lausanne, Switzerland, where the
discharges from typhoid fever pa
tients were thrown into a small
stream, which disappeared by sink.
ing into the earth and gravel and
reappeared about half mile distant
as mountain spring, the clear water
Of which caused typhoid fever in one
and forty-four (144) per-
sons, is instructive, and is worthy of
note as illustrating how the disease
may be spread.

If in cooking too much salt has been
put into an article. the same amount
of brown sugar put into 1t will coun.
teract the effects.
To cure corns take white pine tur-
pentine, spread plaster, apply to the
corn and allow it to stay on until the
corn comes off itself. Repeat this
several times.
A good remedy for sleeplessness Is
to wet towel and apply it to the
back of the neck, pressing 1t up
toward the base of the brain, and
fastening over this a dry cloth to pre-
vent too rapid evaporation. The eff.
feet will be found prompt and pleas
ant, cooling the brain and inducing
sweet, prompt and pleasant slumber.
Warm water is better than cold for
this purpose. This remedy will prove
useful to people suffering from over
work, excitement or anxiety.

TIRED BACKS.

lumbia avenue, Glasgow, Kentucky,
wife Of c. B. Pare, prominent brick
manufacturer Of that city, says: When
Doan's Kidney Pills were first brought
to my attention l was suffering from q
complication Of kidney troubles. Be-
sides the bad back which usually re-
suits from kidney complaints, had q
great deal Of trouble with the secre-
lions. which were exceedingly vari-
able, sometimes excessive and at other
times scanty. The color was high,
and passages were accompanied with
scalding sensation. Doan's Kidney
Pills soon regulated the kidney secre-
tions, making their color normal and
banished the Inflammation which
caused the scalding sensation. l can
rest well, my back is strong and sound
and l feel much better in every way.

ney medicine which cured Mrs. Pare

United States on application. Address

A Blue Grass Pasture.

From Farmers Review: l do not
think anything can equal blue grass
pasture for mich cows, for perma-
nent pasture. have pasture Of IS
acres that has never been plowed and
it is better now than when bought 1t
thirty years ago. The thirty-five-acre
piece pastures 40 cows. 1t is divided
into two fields and the cows only pas.
ture on about one-third Of 1t during
the first Of the season. A good blue
grass pasture should be rather low
and level and well drained. Cows
should not be allowed in pasture until
grass has good start. In my coun-
ty Carroll, lllinois) 1t pays to keep
cows in yard until the 18th Of May or
LIST of June.-W. r. Hostetter.

Powder or No Powder.

Many persons aver that powder is
ruinous to the complexion. You will
occasionally meet old ladies with skins
of baby texture and fairness who will
tell you that they have used powder
all their lives.
But their powder was the simplest
preparation, just little magnesia and
zinc, perfumed with orris root. II the
skin needs extra care a quarter OF q
lemon squeezed in little milk will
be found very beneficial. The face
should be bathed in it morning and
evening. If possible, the face should
never be washed In water. Soap should
only be used at night. 1t is good
plan, after washing the face with soap,
to use the curd of lemon and milk, let
ting 1t dry on the skin.

Spraying a Science.

Spraying is science of itself, says
Prof. F. M. Webster. 1t is profess
sion as yet undeveloped, and unti1 we
give It more attention and improve
upon ind develop its practical value
we shall never get the full and effect
aal benent from it that is possible
with our material and machinery. Ibe-
lieve the time will come when spray
ing will constitute a distinct and sep
arate department of horticulture, and
students will in our agricultural COL
leges be trained in not only the
science of spraying, but the sciences
that are most necessary in connection
with it, viz, entomology. botany and
chemistry.
