CheerfuIneSS.

Nothing Is so winning in this world
witha man, woman or child, as cheer
fulncss. On the other hand persons
who giveway to dependency and gloom
are repulsiye to their fellow man.
If we are cheerful and contented, ma
ture smiles with us; all our surround
ings appear more pleasant, and our
burdens sink into insignihcance.
There are noble characters amongst
mankind whose presence carries sun
shine with them in all their daily
avocations. Often we find persons
who have troubles that would appear
great. indeed, to some individuals, but
are small to the person who has sub
jugated himself by constant study.
Some persons in life give way to fault
finding and complaining, fretfulness
and disconsolation. Oftentimes this
class of people is found impugning
others motives. If you want to be
happy, look at the bright side and
cultivate cheerful disposition, for a
hopeful spirit will discern the silver
lining of dark clouds. BE cheerful
it is the only happy life; wealth has
no comparison with it. Times may
often be hard with us, but it will make
them no easier to wear gloomy coun-
tenance, and be morose with every one
with whom we associate. 1t Is sun
shine, and not the clouds that make
flowers grow.
Point out the person that does not
have trials and burdens i'm life-the
rich as well as the poor have them--in
fact it appears as though it was ar.
ranged from the beginning that nc
earthly being should be free from them.
BY battling down and overcoming
these reverses, men and women make
strong characters. If things do look
dark at times, the lane will turn. BE
hopeful and cheerful and when you
meet neighbor or afriend, instead of
giving cold nod or a passing grunt,
let it be hearty good morning"
"how are your" Let it be to parents
and from parents to children and
neighbor TO neighbor and so on. There
is an Inspiration in every kind good
morning" that makes its influence
felt. What if you do meet with fin.
ancial reyerses, you still have enough
to live on and ina very few years some
of us will not care for this lucre as we
do now. We say be cheerful, be happy.

And Then She Remembered.

Near the elevated road in Park
place Is news and apple woman
She is very absent-minded. Also
sympathetic. A ragged street urchin
ran up to her.
Say" he yelled, your little boy
has been run over by big truck!'
Where? Where? For goodness
sake, where!" shrieked the woman
rushing wildly down the street She
ran a block, and then stopped sud
aenly.
Lord! What an old fool am

been married"
Meantime the street urchin had
stolen four apples and a bunch of

semiannual housekeeping time, when
the good housewife subjects the mas
culine members of the family to all
sorts Of temporary inconvenience, but
i'm the end makes their place Of habit
alton clean, sweet and wholesome.
And this suggests the possible rela.
lions between physically clean houses
and morally clean lives.
In the minds of some philosophers
physical and moral cleanliness grow
on the same stem, and to them a
scrubbing brush is not mere scrub.
bling brush, but bristles with ethical
possibilities and wipes out moral as
well as physical stains, while soapsuds
is not merely a combination of water,
lye and grease, but solution replete
with morally regcnerative proper
ties.
Every housekceper knows the spirit
ual exaltation that follows the spring
cleaning, and it is said that woman
is never so capable of hcroism as when
she is conscious that her pantry
shelves are speckless and the curtains
fresh from the wash. TO such a
housekeeper there is no skeleton in
the closet" so much to be dreaded as
the shameful visitants dust and dirt,
and she would fear no ghostly pre-
sence provided the closet offered moth
ing in the way of disorder to catch a
phantom eye.
TO the true apostle of cleanliness it
is quite impossible that man could
plan crime in perfectly clean apart
ment, and he would find it difficult to
believe that a black lie could be utter
ed amid spotless surroundings. But
this is perhaps carrying the thing a
too far, as everybody knows that there
are vices in high society which have
little to do with soap and upon which
scrubbing brushes would have little
effect. However, it cannot be doubt
ed that there is moral virtue in soap
suds and that scrubbing brushes, mops
and feather busters have great ethi-
cal significance as well as material
one. Let us, therefore, welcome with
satisfaction the spring housekeeping
time as a physical and moral regenera-
tor even If we are obliged to eat our
meals for day or two from the top of
a flour barrel.

yet, but it seems to us that nothing
could have been done that would JUS

FOUND A WONDERFUL MINE.
Prospector Thought He'd Discovered
Valuable Quartz, but II Wasn't.


Valuable Quartz, but It Wasn't.
while the Great Salt Lake of Utah
is on record as one of the seven won
ders of the world, the North Pole
Mine at Alta is in many respects the
most remarkable mine in the world.
Although it is not working at this
time, il contains inexhaustible guam
titles of material that would bring $40
per ton in Salt Lake." said Mr. Tuck
er c. Cheney of Salt Lake City.
THE man who discovered the North
Pole drove a tunnel for 200 feet and
struck new formation. 1t was appar-
emily very clear crystal quartz. The
tunnel appeared very cold, so the min
er knocked off a few samples and
dropped them in his lunch basket and
came to Salt Lake. He showed his
specimens around. None of the boys
had seen anything like the stun, so
he HE'D himself to the assayer's office
and perfected a deal with the assay
er to put his samples through the
mill.
when lie went to look into his
satchel for the samples they had
strangely disappeared. There was
nothing on the inside of the grip but
dampness and plenty of it. When
he went back to his mine he made
some further experiments and found
that he had struck a mine of pure ice.
He had driven his drill into an old
glacier. There appear to be thousands
of tons of ice in the strike, and have
often wondered why a company has
not been formed to market it"

Our Barren Wastes.

There are about 400, 0O0, 900 acres Of
the public lands in this country at
present unfit for farming purposes,
not because the soil is poor, but for
lack of moisture. Much of this land
can be and will be reclaimed by arti-
fetal moisture, but most of it must
remain thin range for cattle, sheep
and goats indefinitely. On account
Of overstocking much of the grasses
which once fourished there has disap-
peared and nothing to take the place
OF them has been provided. These
almost barren wastes are capable Of
restoration, at least to as good con,ii-
ton as when the buffaloes and acte-
lopes did the grazing. AS population
increases and land becomes less in
proportion, human ingenuity will
probably bring water from its sources
and make these lands available for
productive homes. The demand fer
this is not yet upon us, for there is
land enough outside the arid regions
for every family that wants one, a
self-supporting home.-Farm and

Uncertainty Of Cotton.

Cotton is becoming our most uncer.
tain crop, having more fungus dis
eases and insect enemies than any
other staple. If it reaches the condi-
ton that expensive methods of PR
lection are necessary to the produc-
ton of cotton, the fact will be an
other argument in favor of smaller
areas of cotton better cultivated, and
heavier yields per acre. Why should
100 acres be struggled with to make
less than forty bales, when the same
amount can be made On rs acres1
Some of our best farmers make two
bales per acre, and sometimes more.
Then why not study their methods
and then adopt them? When it is
necessary to spray 100 acres Of cotton
to prevent its destruction by weh-
worms or bool weevils, IT is easy
enough to see where the profits co.

Daily abundant exercise is impera-
lively essential for the development
of strong lambs. To secure this, give
them the run of cornfield, from
which the corn has been removed; or
they can be fed on corn fodder daily,
when weather permits, some distance
from barn, where they will eagerly
hasten for this feed and obtain a good
deal of exercise.
With mutton breeds we should have
ample accommodations for feeding
their hay under cover. Their barn
need not be costly structure, but
should be dry, and provided with an
abundance of light. A sheep is ma
turally provided with warm coat
that is impervious to the cold, if only
dry. A dark, warm barn is as dun
geon to them, and in such quarters
they will not thrive and eat well. Cold
drafts blowing through the barn are
unhealthful. In sections where win
tiers are long and severe, their barn
should be constructed with ample
space for hay racks, watering
troughs. salt troughs, and with prop
err ventilation.
Shearing should be done previous to
their being turned out to pasture, as
the ewes that are sheared early rear
the finest lambs, and they put on in
stead Of losing flesh, by not carrying
their fleece in warm weather. A
sheep tick can never obscure himself
from the eye Of the true shepherd.
Ticks and sheep can not be raised to-
gether profitably. A week after
shearing, the sheep and lambs should
be dipped in one of the commercial
sheep dips to destroy the ticks.-E. E
Roberts, in Midland Farmer.

change from the heavy, heating diet
Of winter to simple, cooling diet. Eat
less frequently or eat smaller guam
tity than usual. 1t would be well to
have one meal to consist of fruit alone
or fruit and bread and butter. Eat
very little meat. 1t is better, especial
ly for people who lead sedentary life,
to eat no meat at all during the hot
weather. In place of meat substitute
beans, peas, etc. Baked potatoes,
boiled rice, fresh vegetables, cooling
salads and an abundance of fruits make
an excellent summer dietary, says Med
zeal Talk for the Home.
The person who complains the most
of heat is generally suffering from
overstimulation due to too much food
or the wrong kind of food. Hot soups,
steaming meats. maple strip and flap
jacks may be all right in cold weather,
but should never be INDUCED in during
the summer months. When too much
food is taken it cannot be digested and
II ferments in the stomach and intes-
tines. The fermentation causes heat,
discomfort and nervous irfitability.
With mass of heated food within and
a heated atmosphere without, ex-
IRENE discomfort is sure to follow.
Hot weather is a very trying ordeal
and everything possible should be done
to counteract the depressing effects
Of the heat. A sensible diet viii do
more towards alternating the distress
OF heat, perhaps, than any other one
thing. Simple but nutritious foods
tighten the work of digestion, while
they are cooling and nourishing to the
body.
As to drinks, next 10 pure water, lem
onade or buttermiIk is the only sem
sible hot-weather drink. They are
cooling and refreshing and really
quench thirst, and buttermilk is very
nutritious. Ice-cream sodas, phos-
pilates and root beers. while cooling
in their immediate effect, are really
worthless and result in further dis
comfort and increased thirst.
just little common sense as to
what one eats and drinks in hot wealth
er will do more toward keeping a per-
son cool and comfortable than all the
electric fans and ice connections in ex-
istence.
