Potatoes 4 Profitable cror.

Potatoes are a profitable crop when
sold at twenty-five to thirty cents a
bushel. An acre of ordinary ground
will yield a farmer more money in
potatoes at twenty-five cents bushel
than any other crop he can put on the
acre-tobacco excepted. 1t is an oft
repeated saying that potatoes will
bring farmer as high as twenty-five
cents a bushel when fed to stock.
This is pipe dream. One bushel of
potatoes must put five pounds of flesh
on hog to do this, and one bushel OF
potatoes will not increase a hogs
weight even three pounds.-Boscobel

The Rescue.


Adowm the lane on frenzied feet
Fled like wind the maiden sweet.
A large dog followed on her trail
With open mouth and truncate tail.
Shrek after shrek the maiden gave;
And would no hero run to save?
Well, we should smile? For at her cry
The hero came In quick reply.
With resolution naught could clog
He fiercely whistled to the dog!
And at his masters note the chase
The dog forsook with perfect grace!
They married? All, ca va sans dire!
Elsewise 'twould be a case most queer.
But oftimes. when the lady sleeps.
The husband wakes and weeps and weeps
And drones, as if he'd slipped a cog,
why did I interrupt the dog?

costIier Than CHAMPAGNE.

Although champagne is called the
wealthy water" there are few hotels
in the country where one can pay
more than 81 quart for it, while, on
the other hand, there are hundreds of
places where Burgundy is sold as high
as $35 quart. At one hotel the menu
advertises a special brand of this fine
wine for $25 bottle. There are any
number of Rhine wines which cost
above IS, and there is big demand
for them. Champagne does not i'm
prove with age as the other wines do
and this probably accounts for the diff
ference.

A Few FiQureS.

Mortality among bachelors from
the age of 80 to Is is said to be q
per cent, while among married men
of the same age it is IS per cent. For
forty-One bachelors who attain the
age of 40 years there are seventy
eight married men who attain the
same age. The difference is still
more striking in persons of advanced
age. At so years of age there remain
but twenty-five bachelors for forty
eight married men; at 20, eleven
bachelors for twenty-seven married
men, and at 80 three bachelors for
nine married men.

An old farmer arrived in Glasgow
with a drove of cattle. The beasts

room, said: Good night, sir; would
you prefer hot bath or cold bath

Where Women Are Free.

Austria is the one country in the
world which never puts a woman in
prison. Instead of giving female
criminal so many months of jail, she
is sent, no matter how terrible is her
record, to one or other of the converts
devoted to the purpose, and kept there
during the time for which she is SEN
fenced The convent is not a mere
prison in disguise, for it's courtyard
stands open all day long, the only bar
to egress being nun who acts as
portress, Just as in other converts.

The Worlds Wanderers.

Tell me, thou star, whose wings of light
Speed thee in thy fiery flight,
In what cavern of the night
Will thy pinions close now?
Tell me, moon, thou pale and gray
Pilgrim of heavens homeless way,

Seekest thou repose now?
Weary wind, who wanderest
Like the worlds rejected guest,
Hast thou still some secret nest
On the tree or billow?

An Antidote for Discomfort.

We all have goodly sprinkling of dis.
content in our anatomy, however loatt
we may be to acknowledge it. If we have
a SIS hat we mourn because we cannot
afford a $40 one, if we have million dol-
lars, we work and scheme to double, triple
and quadruple it.
Yet there is discomfort which is just1I
fable, which is even praiseWorthy-thd
kind which makes us long for higher,
nobler, truer life which makes us aim and
struggle for the uplifting 81 ourselves,
and those less fortunate with whom we
come in contact; which makes us mourn
our lost opportunities, and pray for guild
ance in grasping and making the best Of
those which come to us day by day.
Would there were more of it. Truly, II
would be long stride toward making a
happier and better world. But it is not
with this that most of us have to deal.
Several years ago it came to me that
If l did not mend my ways, 1 should be a
cross, disagreeable woman before I was
80 unless I could rid myself of that bug

Mrs. Rose E. Atkin, who is mission
airy at Paotingfu, North China, has
formed a Sunshine branch with several
young folks, and they have taken up the
idea with great enthusiasm. They are
the children of the missionaries who are
out In that part of the country, and they
want to make the little Chinese children
happier in some way.
Picture books, reading and scrap. for
making scrap books would be appreciated
for these little ones are all anxious to
help.
Mrs Atkin sends the following account
OF the way this society originated:
Yesterday, while endeavoring to amuse
these four children (of the missionaries in
this compound) read them story from
the Mission Dayspring. It told Of how
seven children secured money to put into
their thank offering envelope AS read
could see that the children were very
much Interested, and, aftetr finishing, !
paused to give them an opportunity to
say something. One said:
Cant do something with my money!
and some of the others asked similar
questions, one little boy saying he would
try to give up eating peanuts for one
month and give the money they would cost
to some one. Then suggested that they
form little society, and offered myself
if wanted, as adviser. They said they
would like to do so. When I asked them
If they would like to take the name OF
Sunshine society and try to make these
poor, wretched Chinese children happier
they said they would

name and hold meetings every Saturday
