Are you looking for some kind of
power that you can use in your barn
today, down in the woods tomorrow,
over in your neighbors' woods next
day? Something that costs nothing
until started and all expense stops the
instant the power stops? An engine
that always goes no matter what the
weather conditions may be? If so, let
us tell you more about Ideal engines,
which are guaranteed for one year, and
sent out to responsible farmers on 10
days trial We make a speciality of a
II. p. engine that is adapted to farm
use. 1t costs but little more for gaso-
line to pump water with this engine
than 1t does with a smaller one. which
is of no practical use except for pump
ing. This engine will grind feed, buzz
wood and do any work requiring power
on the farm. Ideal engine will be on

SOME FOREIGN CUSTOMS.

In France New Years days is the
great day of the year. 1t is to the
French child what Christmas is to the
young people Of America-the day for
the giving and receiving of presents.
In the gloomy old royal palace OF
Madrid, also, the first day of the year
is happy and merry festival. The
queen regent takes care tina, all, even
to the humblest servants, have share
in the socalled aquinaldos, or New
Years bounties.
But it is in Russia that the. boys
Fl nd themselves most completely mas
ters of the situation on New Years
days, says the "Youth's Companion"
for in that land the opening day of tho
year is especially the children's festi-
val.
The boys rise with the sun, taking
care to fill their, pockets with dried
peas and wheat. Then they go from
b ouse to house in riot of fun. As
doors are never locked it is easy for
til EN- to effect an entrance. The dried
peaa are to be thrown at their enemies
but the wheat is for their friends.
They sprinkle it upon any of their
friends whom they may be fortunate
enough to find asleep, and hurl the
pea with stinging force at their
enemies.
After breakfast the handsomest
horse in the village is brought out, its
trappings are decorated with ever
green and berries, and The animal is
led to the house of the nobleman of
the place, followed by the pea and
wheat shooters Of the early morning.
The lord admits horse and guests to
his parlor, where all his family are
gathered. This is the greeting Of the
peasants, old and young, to their lord
and master. The origin of the Gus
tom is shroudsd in mystery, but it is
supposed to date from very early
times.

THE NEW YEAR.

The winter winds their antlams sing,
And lcy buges blow,
For New Year comes happy King.
Robet in the driven SNOW.
HIS advent doth . welcome find
In al .dsome sky and earth.
And sweeps tho hearts of humankind
With shouts of joy and mirtb.
Upon him wait q noble throng,
From all the ages gone
The wise and good, the brave and strong
To lead the glad world on.
On heights sublime, before unknown.
Where mystic splendors fall,
They build for him q mighty throne,
And wait his onward call.
His SC p red touch can blessings bring
To humhlest home and life,
Bill war to sheathe its sword and sling,
And bury bitter strife.
Tie nations span wide, story seas,
With open cl.sp Of hand,
Watt fragrance on tho kindling breeze.
And peace to every land.
o! glorious King we look to thee.
Most royal to thy line,
To make the struggling strong aud fre
To make the sad face shire.
O! lift aloft God s standard fair
Before the eyes of men,
List to our deep and earnest prayer.
While angels chant amen.

Wilton had made the rounds of the
insulted elite of the countrysid and
a dinner-party had been arranged for
at Mrs. Goldwaite's, for three solid
reasons. First, to air their new toll
cites; second, to soothe one another
in their common grievance, and third
the Goldwaite cottage was so situated
that they could easily see the coarse
tide of the "seconds' s''-and possibly
the "thirds' s'-fow to the farms.
Punctually at the appointed time
the outraged upper current gathered
at the appointed placet to see the out.
rageous under current set toward the
phiIanthropic president.
By three o'clock all the INDECENT
but respectable people of the neigh
borhood had gone by in their Sun day
best.
"Onions and sauerkrautW drawled
Mrs Wilton, as a German family
passed on foot.
"Our white necktie Brigade" com.
mented another "first," as the. pastor
Of poor church, a mile away, and the
superintendent Of its Sunday school,
together with a dozen scholars, went
by in a double slei gh. And the "frsts'
rustled their silks and smiled in aristo-
cratic contempt.
Before the Goldwaite party broke
mp, however, a messenger from the
Farms bowed himself into their midst
and out again, leaving the hostess
looking suspiciously at message in
her hand, with "the army coat blazed
onto the corner as Mrs. Meigs would
have said. She glanced timidly
the expectant circle and finally drew
forth a daintily perfumed note and
read:
"a very happy New Year to all 1t
has occurred to US: dear people, that
you may not have comprhend our mo-.
tive in bidding our guests for the day.
As we all are interested in phiIan
thlopic work, we will be understood

knew you were all well able to return
the compliment, and so We babe those
who could not recompense US.
1--WE extend greetings and desire
that you all rejoice with US. Mr.. and
Mrs. John Berrie, Shelly Farms
"The "firsts" looked soberly at each
other; the spirit OF the note touched
the good in them and the new dinner
dresses were, for the time, forgotten.
"Yes," they said, 'the whole neigh
borhood has enjoyed a Happy New
Year today. Surely it is a pleasant
new leaf! But the philanthropic So
ciety has never been organized,

A SIMPLE SCIENCE LESSON

Many boys and girls have wonder
ed, no boubt, why lightning rod is
always pointed, instead Of having a
blunt end. and also why the point is
made of mental that does not easily
corrode.
The object of lightning rod is to
empty cloud of its electricity nois.
lessly and harmlessly, and it must be
pointed because point offers no re-
aistonre to the discharge. The degree
oI Resistance is in proportion of the
surface of the object, and point has
the least possible surface.
If the rod had ball or a knob on
the top, the discharge would be vlo-
lent. The difference is shown in dis
charging a battery, says the New York
"Mail." You will be surprised to hear,
perhaps, that the full charge from a
battery may be passed through your
body if it be received through the
point of a needle. The same charge,
received through a ball.tipped dis
charger, would kill you instantly.
Besides point attracts the light
ming, and thus keeps it from striking
other parts of the building. The point
is made of metal that does not easily
corrode because corrosion, or rust, in
creases the resistance, and a rusty
point, therefore, might cause violent
and destructive discharge.
If you have lightning rod on your
house no doubt it has emptied MANY a
cloud of its electricity without any
bodys knowing anything about it.

WHY HE WAS NOT

He watched the clock.
He was always grumbling,
He was always behind-hand.
He had no iron in his blood.
He was willing, but untitled.
He didn't believe in himself.
He asked too many question.
His stock excuse was II forgot"
He wasn't ready for the next step.
He did not put his heart in his
work.
He learned nothing from his blum
ders.
He felt that he was above his posi-.
tien.
He chose his friends from among his
interiors.
He was content to be second-rate
man.
He did not think It worth while to
learn now.
He never dared to act on his own
judgement.
He ruined his ability by half.doing
things.
He tried to make "bluf" take the
place of ability.
He thought he must take amuse-
ment every evening.
Familiarity with slpshod methods
paralyzed his ideal.
He thought it was clever to use
coarse and profane language.
He was ashamed of his parents be.
cause they were old-fashioned.
He initiated the habits of men who
could stand more than he could.
He did not learn that the best part
of his salary was not in his pay
envelopes.

Turning a New Leaf
A New Years Story.

MIS- Marcia Berrie had been mis-
tress of the Shelly Farm for only I
few short months; but long enough
after all, for every one in the neighbor
hood to have an opinion Of John Ber
rie's second wife.
She dressed finer than his first wifi
did-most second wives do-she spen
more hours at the piano, and seemed
several degrees more aristocratic thar
the first Mrs. Berrie.
1t was an bonored custom, reaching
back to the stouter branches of tn
ancestral tree, for the owner of th,
Farms to give a New Years dinne
to the country side; and each CUES
was invited 70 come al d "turn a new
leaf for yearly luck"
OF course, it was the "first,' anc
not the seconds" or "thirds,' as th'
shippers say, who enjoyed these annu
al feast and usually, they began sew
eral weeks before to plan what tt
wear" This year it seemed neces
sity 10 he a little more particular
about the cut of gowns and width o.
trimmings, for the new Mrs. Berri,
was lady Of means in her own right
and dressed .elaborately.
"We must make an impression,
said Mrs. Wilton, decisively, land sht
must feel that our presence is an hon
or to the Farms intend to hav'
a new silk; a regular dinner party
dress"
And 50 the "61 SITS planned to sur
pass all former efforts, for the sake o
profound impression; therefore, by th'
middle of December score of lovely
new gowns were the pride Of as many
ambitious feminine owners.
The mistress Of Shelly Farms was
affable and gracious to all, and the
tony "firsts" were just dying to dis
play their rich costumes in her honor
But for some unaccountable reason
the invitations were tardv.
Could it be po. 8 ble that the SECOND
wife was one Of those new women
who would, at one fell swoop, eliminat.
the annual dinner? And would Johr
Berrie stand thai?
In sheer desperation of suspense
Mrs. Goldwaite was delegated to cal
at the F.rms, ostensib!y to speak o
phianthropic movement, but really
to scent the New Year festivities anC
overdue cards.
Mrs Bcrrie received her visitor
very courte' u,ly and pleasantly, anc
supported the phianthropic idea en-
