HOW TO MAKE GOOD CoFFEE.


The most important point in max
ing good coffee is to use the water at

its gases, becomes fiat and hard, and
will make but an imperfect infusion.
Avoid also, water that has been boil
ed and put aside on the stove, and
then reboiled at coffee making time.
See that the tea kettle from which
you take your coffee water is thor
oughly washed each morning, filled
with fresh cold water and brought
quickly to nearly the boiling point.
Put the coffee and chicory in the up
per portion of pot, allowing one heap
ing tablespoonful of finely ground
coffee and a teaspoonful of chicory to
each half pint of water. Pour over it
quickly the water, put on the lid SO
that the aroma may not escape, and
as soon as the water drains through
the biggin fill it again, and SO con-
tinue until you have the desired
quantity. Serve Immediately from
the same pot. This coffee must not
be on the stove unless at the back
part, where it can not boil. Serving
coffee is half the battle. In winter
have the cups heated, fill them half
full with scalded milk, and pour in
the freshly made coffee. Do not add
cream if you value your health.

CARROTS AND TURS1ps FOR FEED.

During the winter season, when
crops are not on the fields and do not
need attention, the farmer has to be
idle at times aud thus allows his labor
to be lost because it can not be applied
with profit. If labor could be be-
slowed on the preparation of food for
stock, in order to make the food more
valuable and also more highly relish
ed, there would be sufficient saving
to more than pay for the labor, while
there would also be more rapid in
crease in the weight of the animals or
the production of milk and butter.
Every farmer who takes advantage OF
labor saving implement reduces the
cost of his products, and it may be
claimed that new implements are be-
ing introduced so rapidly that many
farmers are not aware of what is oc-
curing, some of the latest being ma
chimes that almost dispense with hui
man labor. Farmers do not pay suf-
fcient attention to root crops. 1t is
much easier to grow ten acres OF tur-
nips or carrots at the present day,
with the aid of seed drills, wheel hoes,
diggers and weeders, than to cultivate
one acre half century ago. Every
farmer knows that there is no winter
food superior to carrots for horses
and cows, yet if one farm in a hun
dred can be found upon which car
rots are grown yearly in order to pro
vide an unlimited supply it will be
more than the average heretofore; yet
from 100 to 800 bushels of carrots car
be grown on an acre of land, according
to soil and circumstances, and they
are valuable for all classes of stock.

WHICH ARE YoUi

There are two kinds of people on earth today,
Just two kinds of people; no more, say.
Not the sinner and saint, for tits well understood
That the good are half bad, and the bad are half
good.
Not the rich and the poor. for to count a mans
wealth
You must first know the state Of his conscience
and health.
Not the humble and proud, for In lifes little span
Who puts on vain airs is not counted man,
Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years
Bring each man his laughter and each man his
tears.
No; the two kinds of people on earth that mean
Are the people who lift and the people who lean,
Wherever you go, you will find the world g
masses
Are always divided in just these two classes.
And, oddly enough, you viii find, too, ween,
There is only one litter to twenty who lean.
In which class are you Are you easing the load
OF overtaxed dfters who toll down the road?
Or are you q leaner who let's others bear
Your portion Of labor and worry and care?

MANNERS IN BUSINESS.

The value of brains in business can
ma. he ouerestimated, of course but
neither can the value of manners.
Don't make the error of supposing
that brains are everything. You may
have the best set of brains in the
town, but if you haven't the manners
of gentleman nobody is going to
appreciate you. Your manner is the
outward indication of what you are
within in the estimate of most peo-
pie, and if the manner is disagreeable
few will take the trouble to examine
into you any further.
The CONSENSUS o5 general opinion
porcupine quilts as his manners hasn't
any brains worth bothering about.
Did you never notice that the men
who employ large forces of intelfi-
gent people look at an applicant close
ly, ask few seemingly unimportant
questions and promptly employ or
dismiss him? They don't sound his
brain depth; they don't obtain his
biography they don't inquire into
his social standing; they size him up
from his manners, and if he is brass
on the surface they don't look for
gold within.
The employer knows that if an ap-
plicant's manner strikes him favorably
it will also favorably strike people
with whom he comes in contact in his
work. And nobody knows better
than a big business man that favor
able first impression means half the
sale. People are apt to think that if
there is any place where manners are
of little consequence it is in business,
where cold calculation so largely takes
the place of feeling. But the truth
is that nowhere else are manners of
such importance as in everyday deal
ings. There is no capital and equip
ment any young man can have that
will pay him better than good man.
ners. There is no possible calling
for which this does not better fit him.
If he has brains the world owes him
something, but unless he has good
manners he will have a hard time col
lecting it.

THEY CAN'T SPELL.

A curious anomaly about modern
education is that, while accomplish
ments abound among all classes OF
people, being, indeed, accounted
common things, spelling and gram
mar have been exalted into the fine
arts.
Few are the people who can write
strictly grammatical letter in these
times. If nothing else, they err in
the matter of abbreviations. "There's S
been a number of people," is a phrase
commonly heard. Yet there's" ab-
breviates there is" not "there
have"
eve seen" is a grammatical hor-
ror which holds its place in ordinary
conversation. No amount of all
around information seems to instruct
the average mind on this point. Near
ly akin to it and as frequently heard
is that other phrase, 1--WE had went.
AS to pronunciation, it is really
amusing to notice how many people
who laugh at the word either"
when made to sound ''eyther' take
pains to emphasize too long is in
"quinine. !"
Lots of bright young boys and girls
up in Euclid and chemistry, ready
for the high school, cannot distin-
guish between the spelling of the
words two, too and to. Quite recent
ly letter written by woman of cul-
tivation came under the writer's no.
tice. She met her waterloo in 'taste," "
which she spelled ''taist.''
There is not space in which to list
errors, yet we must mention the un-
felicitous interchanging of could
Should" and chad" eve would
better have gone" instead of 1--WE
had better" is frequently heard, as
also 1--WE would like, instead of 1--WE
should like
What have our educators to offer
in argument? There is no disputing
the fact that while people of a former
generation knew considerably less of
arts and sciences, they did know how
to spell. Nowadays it is a rare thing
to meet with stenographer who is
thus proficient.
We hear a great deal about the diff
fculties of the English language, and
some people actually say that it takes
talent in that direction to make
good speller. We fail to see how a
child who is capable of memorizing
the spelling of words can successful
ly grasp the problems of higher edu-
cation.
If it is worth while teaching spell
ing and grammar at all, isn't it worth
while to teach it thoroughly l"-Phi-
adelbhfa Ledger.

THINGS NOT TO DO.

To contradict your friends when
they are speaking.
To say smart things which may
hurt ones feelings.
1t is bad to make remarks about
the food at dinner.
To talk about things which only in
terest yourself.
To grumble about your home and
relatives to outsiders.
To speak disrespectfully to anyone
older than yourself.
To be rude to those who serve you
either in shop or at home.
To dress shabbily in the morning
because no one will see you.
To think first of your own pleasure
when you are giving party.
To refuse ungraciously when some
body wishes to do you favor.

VERBATIM REPORTING.

Psychologists may find an interest
ing field for investigating in the in
tellectual processes that are involved
in rapid shorthand writing. There
are at least five distant mental opera
tions carried on continuously during
verbatim reporting. First, there is
the sensation of sound received by the
ear; secondly, there is the perception
by the brain of the word uttered,
practically simultaneous with the SEN
sation in the case of distinct speak
er, but often delayed a large fraction

except the stock words and phrases.
which ne writes by word signs by a
practically automatic habit.
Fourth, these relatively uncommon
words must be put on paper accord
ing to the principles of the system
employed. This one operation in
wolves many subordinate and infinite
ly swift efforts of recollection, associa-
ton and decision.
Fifth, all these mental operations
are carried on while the pen or pencil
is from two or three words to an en-
tire sentence behind the speaker
this, of course, in rapid speaking
thereby complicating the situation by
compelling memory to keep pace with
attention. In other words, while the.
scribe is writing the predicate of one
sentence and analyzing an unfamiliar
word in the subject of the next, he is
at the same time giving his auditory
attention to the predicate of the second
sentence then being uttered by the
speaker. This is impossible to an un-
trained mind. The average educa-
ted person cannot retain more than
perhaps six or eight words of the ex-
act phraseology of a speaker at one
time. The competent stenographer
can hold up ten, fifteen, twenty words
or even more in his memory, while
at the same time taxing his mind by
the act of writing the words that pro-

BEECHERs WISE HINTS TO BOYS and GIRLS


The advice once given to his son
by Henry Ward Beecher is trenchant
and valuable, and may be applied to
young women as we'll as young men.
Listen to the words of the great
preacher and let them be engraved on
the tablets of your memory:
"You must not go into debt. Avoid
debt as you would the devil. Make
it fundamental rule: No debt
cash or nothing.
''Make few promises. Religiously
observe the smallest promise. A man
who means to keep his promise can
not afford to make many.
"Be scrupulously careful in all
statements. Aim at accuracy and
perfect frankness, no guesswork-
either nothing or absolute truth.
'When working for others, sink
yourself out of sight; seek their in
terest. Make yourself necessary to
those who employ you, by industry,
fidelity and scrupulous integrity.
Selfshness is fatal.
"Hold yourself responsible for
higher standard than anybody expects
of you. Keep your own standard
high. Never excuse yourself to your
self. Never pity yourself. Be a hard
master to yourself; be lenient to
everybody else.
Concentrate your force on your
own business; do not turn off. Be
constant, steadfast, persevering."

WHILE ENJOYING good book in
the sitting-room one afternoon, the
Rev. Clinton Locke noticed woman
coming up the front steps whom he
particularly disliked. He fed precip-
itately, leaving his wife to meet the
caller. After half an hour had pass
ed, Doctor Locke came out of his
study and listened at the head of the
stairs. Hearing nothing below, he
called down to his wife:
"Has that horrible old bore gone
yet?"
The caller was still there, but Mrs.
Locke was equal to the emergency,
and she called back:
Eyes, dear, she went nearly an
hour ago. Mrs. A. is here now"

THE COUNTY TICKET.


The above was the ticket nominated
yesterday by four conventions out Of the
six held to be passed upon by the voters
of Sedgwick county next November.
The county convention was one Of the
most spirited contests ever held in the
county. the struggle beginning at nine
o'clock in the morning and continuing till
sfter eight O'Clock at night.
The fight for the nomination Of sheriff
was probably the most interesting, al

during the day without result, bat one

There was also some lighting over the
offices of register Of deeds. county clerk,
county coroner, and country treasurer, but
Il was of short duration in every case.
The country is represented on the ticket
by Webb. Clark, ApIing. Baughman and
Martin. 1t is a good representation.
The selection Of the county ticket was
only a part Of the days work y dele
