Some blessings of Farm Life.

From a recent work entitled TT Fat
of the Land from the pen OF J. w.
Streeter, we take the following extract:
IF farming be the art of elimination, /
want IL not. II the farmer and the farm
er's family must, by the nature of the oc-
| cupation, be deprived OF reasonable luxury
and leisure, If the conveniences and ameni-
ties must be shorn close, II comfort must
be denied and life be reduced to the ele-
| mental necessities of food and shelter, /
| want it not. But l do not believe that
this is the case. The wealth of the world
comes from the land, which produces all
the direct and immediate essentials for
the preservation of life and the protection
of the race. When people cease to look
to the Ian for support, they lose their
| independence and fall under the tyranny
OF circumstances beyond their control.
| They are no longer producers, but con-
| sumers; and their prosperity is contin-
| gent upon the prosperity and good Will
of other people who are more or less alien.
Only when a considerable percentage Of a
| nation is living close to the and can the
highest type OF independence and pros
perity be enjoyed. This law applies to
the mass and also to the individual. The
farmer, who produces all the necessities
and many of the luxuries, and whose
| products are in constant demand and new
er ont Of vogue, should be Independent
in mode or life ana prosperous IN llS Tor
tunes. If this is not the condition of the
average farmer land / am sorry to say 1t
is not), the fault is to be found, not IN
the land, but in the man who tills 1t.
"N~inety-five per cent. Of those who en-
| gage In commercial and professional oc-
equations fail of large success; more than
50 per cent. fail utterly, and are doomed to
miserable, dependent lives In the service
Of the more fortunate. That farmers do
not fail nearly so often is due TO the boun-
ty of the land, the beneficence of nature,
and the ever recurring seed time and har-
vest, which even the most t~houghtiess
cannot interrupt"
With the introduction of c~onveniences
for home and farm, with the Improvement
or our means OF communication, and espe-
cially with the wave of enlightenment hat
has passed over the farms of America
during the last quarter century, the life of
the producer has become not one OF grind
ing toll, but of pleasure giving effort.
Those who contemplate turning their back
on the farm should consider Well the state
ment made above, namely, that ''95 per
cent. OF those who engage in commercial
and professional occupations fail OF large
success" before taking the final step.
While the producer has lots to contend
with In the way of unfavorable climatic
conditions, etc, yet he is seldom har-
raised to anything like the same. extent
as the man whose business success de-

With all the luxuries and pleasures
of this life. its big cnjoyments and
its smaller comforts, there is an offset
or antithesis which we have to con
tend with in the form of aches and
pains. In some way and by some
means every one has a touch of them
In some form at some time. Trifling
as seine of them may be, the risk is
that they will grow to something great
er and rack the system with constant
torture. There is nothing. therefore,
of this kind that we have a right to
trifie with. Taken in time. the worst
forms of pains and aches are easily
subdued and cured by the free use of
st. Jacobs Oil. No we'll regulated
household should be without a bottle
of this great remedy for pain. 1t is
the specific virtue of penetration in
st. Jacobs Oil that carries it right to
the pain spot and effects a prompt
cure even in the most painful cases of

at all times for hurts, cuts and
wounds, and the house that always
has it keeps up a sort Of insurance

MRS. MAVERICK.

In spite of the mystery with which
English officials shrowd the action in
connection with the reported release OF
Mrs. Florence Maybrick, who is serving
sentence for poisoning her husband, IT
can be definitely said that she has been
removed from Aylesbury prison. At
the United States Embassy in London
it was most emphatically declared that
she had not been pardoned and that she
was still prisoner. Where she has
been taken remains mystery, but re-
ports from Aylesbury are to the effect
that she has been removed to some lnsii-
tu,ion in Cornwall. The home office
and the governor of Aylesbury prison
refuse to make any kind of a statement
on the subject. If the ordinary course
had been followed Mrs. Maybrick would
have been taken to Holloway if her i'm
mediate release were contemplated, but
she is not there and has probably been
removed to some other prison of less rig
orous discipline where she can recuper-
ate prior to her release. Or possibly
she has been conveyed to one OF the
government homes of detention or to an
asylum. The details given in Lloyd 5
weekly newspaper regarding the visit OF
Mrs. Maybrick's mother, Baroness de
Rouques, to Ay1esbury prison, January
%, appear to becorect. oheafterwards
described Mrs. Maybrick as very busy
with her work, in much better spirits
and looking forward to her release.
Regarding the case of Mrs. MAVERICK,
interest in which has been revived by re-
ports that she has been released from
prison in England, State Department
officials say there has been no recent
communication between them and the
English government in the matter
