WORST KIND OF POVERTY.
A Man May Have Plenty of Money
and Yet Be Very Poor.

A Man May Have Plenty of Money
and Yet Be Very Poor.
Much Of what is called success is
but the most vulgar kind of prosper
ity; it is the success of the brute fac
ulties at the expense of the divine. To
develop q few Of ones brain cells, and
these the lowest, by everlasting dig
ging and grinding for money, to culti-
vate one huge gland which secretes
nothing but dollars and the exclusive
cultivation of which brushes out of life
all the finer sentiments, all that is
sweet and beautiful and worth while,
makes q man as dry and barren as the
great Sahara desert. He who follows
this course cannot be rich, no matter
how much money he may have. A
man is rich when every faculty with
in him has followed his highest ideals,
when he has pushed his horizon to its
farthermost limit.
A man is poor when he has lost con-
fidence of his friends, when people
who are nearest to him do not believe
in him. when his character is honey
combed by deceit, punctured by dis
honesty. He is poor when he makes
money at the expense of his character,
when principle does not stand clear
cut. supreme in his idea. When this
ia clouded he Is in danger of the worst
kind Of poverty. To be in the poor
house is not necessarily to be poor. If
Won have maintained your integrity, If
vour character stands foursquare to
the world, If you have never bent the
knee Of principle to avarice, you are
not poor, tho b you may be COM
nelled to BEG pread.-Orison SWEET

Get Rid of vitality sappers.

Debt is a great force-waster, because
very few men or women can be heavily
in debt without worrying or being an1-
ious. If you are so deeply involved
that it is impossible to extrlcate your
self without going through bankruptcy
then take your bitter medicine at once
and start again, no matter VINO crlti-
cises or denounces you. Pay your dept
in full afterwards, when you are able.
Get rid of all vitality -sappers. II
ro, have taken an unfortunate step, re-
trace If if you can. If you have maze
q mistake, remedy it as far as IL IS III
vour mower to do so; but, when you
have done your best, let the thing drop
forever Do not drag its skeleton along
With YOU. Never allow what is dead
ond should be buried to keep pobplns
IN and draining off your life-c apitai IN
, ~ or vain regrets. Do not do any,
thine or touch anything when WIZ

multitude Of unsaved people have
Deen brought into our churches, or men
ana women can go a long way in in
dltterence to Christian work and Wor-
ship without endangering their eternal
welfare
Men and women who have been
church members, and, in many cases,
active workers, are disassociating them
selves from organized Christianity. and
in such numbers as may well compel
the solicitous attention of those who
desire the perpetuity and growth of
the church. The numbers reported in
the annual minutes of our associations
as dropped" or excluded" represent
but fraction of the real loss. Almost
every church carries on it's list of
members those who have gone out
from us in everything but name. 1t is
generally admitted that the real, work
ing force of the average church is only
about one-half of it's nominal member
ship, and sometimes it is not even that
After having made all proper allow
ance for Ill health and non-residence
and old age, we are compelled to adj
nit that there are many members in
our churches who contribute nothing
in toll or money or prayer to the pro-
motion of the kingdom, and who give
little or no evidence Of having any in
terest in religious matters.

Stand the Corn Straight.

Leaning corn shocks, especially III
they are small, are about worthless
when 1t comes to fodder. Leaning
corn, however small the shock, will
not begin to cure out so we'll as though
it stood up we'll. Very large shocks
will cure better, If stood up almost
perpendicularly than small ones lean
ing. y pretty good way to pull a.
large shock together so that Il reason
able amount of Irvine will bind the top
together. is to have a ten or twelve
foot rope with small ring in one end
through which the rope can be tighten
ed while the string is being tied. This
way, however unless one is especially
careful, is apt to twist the shock, and
once twisted, it is bound to settle over
to one side A still safer way, advO-
Gated by some OF the very best corn
men, is to pass long rope clear
round the shock, then two men pull
ing up ON the two ends can draw the
shock very tightly and evenly together.
AS the men come around to the same
spot. one can hold the ropes while the
other ties the shock. But however
tied. the shocks, in this windy dry
country, should be made straight and
large.

The Virtues of Spinach.

Prominent specialists claim that
spinach is the most precious of yege-
tables, on account of its medicinal and
strengthening properties. The emollient
and laxative virtues Of spinach, owing
probably to the salts of potash it con-
tains, have long been known, 1t is eX-
cellent for the liver, and as a conse-
quence freshens the complexion. Some
vegetables contain relatively large
dose of iron. According to Boussin-
gault, the proportion is 00074 Of iron
in one hundred parts of French beanss
.00S3 in one hundred parts of lentils.
and in spinach very much more. The
chemist Bunge has proved that
spinach and yolk of egg are proper
tionately richer in digeStible and as
similable iron than are all of the most
renowned ferruginous remedies. It's
great value and growing Importance Isl
shown in the fact that spinach is al
ready an active ingredient in several
new and very salable tonics.

Too little concern is being mani
tested by the British government on
account of the uninterrupted exodus
Of Irish and Cornish peasants to
America, the Commoner states. Writ
ing from Plymouth, England, United
States Consul Stephens says: THE
British press has called special at
tention during the last month to the
continued, and what they term alarm
ing, fight of the Irish and Cornish
to America. Over $4,000 have gone
from Ireland alone during the pres
ent year. and the exodus, which has
received an impetus from the cheap
fares, goes on without interruption.
There is, it is asserted, no greater
menace to Ireland's future than this
appalling drain of immigration. 1t
Is drawing out of the country the
best of it's peasant class for America,
and leaving the undesirables behind.
Never before have the Irish people
manifested such a determination to
leave their country. At present they
are leaving at the rate of 1000 per
week. and no argument advanced to
keep them in their island has the
slightest effect The same condi-
tons. though in modified form, ap-
NV to Cornwall. The mining indus
try at home is dead. In the British
colonies conditions are not at all IA
yorable, hence the weekly exodus to
America. Those already in the Unit
ed States send home money as rapid
w as possible to assist their relatives
and companions in Cornwall to fol-
low"

When RuYinp Tin.

Farmers that buy tin vessels for useI
in the dairy should be careful to get it
of the best quality only. Tinware can
be obtained that will last for years
without rusting But, as usual thing,
this cannot be purchased in the coun-
try stores, which carry a cheap quail
ty of tin, and therefore poor quality
The Timing is so thin that rust ap-
pears in few months, and a single1
season is about as long as any vesseA
will last unless its care has been eX-
ceptional. Doubtless the best utensils
Of this kind are to be secured from the
supply houses that cater to the cream
cry supply trade. The creamery menI
have long since learned that it does not
pay to purchase cheap tinware, and the
supply houses cannot hold their trade
and carry such quality of utensils. The,
poor tinware is not only short-liyed,,
but it makes it possible for microbes
to hide by thousands in the places that
have begun to rust Moreover, it is eX-
ceedingly difficult to clean such places,
If anybody thinks to buy cheap tin
ware. let him remember that the sup
ply of tin is limited and is not likely to
come down in price.

For the instrument which has cut into
blighted wood will carry the blight to
a perfectly healthy branch, if it is used
to cut into it without being disinfect-
ed This disinfection, when necessary,
should never be omitted The simplest
method, probably, is to pass 1t num-
Der of times through the fame of al
lighted lamp. When done carefully,
the temper will not be injured.

Set Strawberries in Spring.

A correspondent Of Farmers Voice
says: The Agricultural Department says
sometimes fall planting of strawber-
ries is successful in some of the At
lantic States, but generally recon-
mends spring planting. Anybody who,
has tried fall planting in the Middle,
West will also recommend the springs
idea. II you want a good crop Of
Strawberries, plant as early in the
spring as you can take good care of
them all summer, mulch literally in
the winter, SO they won't freeze out,
and if you take good care in the
spring you are pretty sure to have a
crop that is worth all the trouble, and
more. A Western grower Of great ex~
perience writes me that he has never;
known i'm the last fifteen years a good
crop of berries to be raised from fall
set plants That is in the great corn
belt region. | do not think he is ell
tirely right, for / have known some
pretty fair crops to be raised in South
ern Illinois from fall set plants; but
as a general thing spring planting is
the only way / know an Iowa farmer
who patiently planted strawberries in
the fall for three successive years be-
fore he discovered that he could not
get crop the next spring. Once he
kept on with his crop through the sec
ond winter and raised big crop the
second spring. After that he always
started his plants in the spring, and
had fine success. BY winter mulching
and common sense in cultivation he
generally beat the other fellows to
market by a few days and got the
top OF the market for nearly ell his
berries.

In the case of pear blight and apple
twig blight and ounce blight-all es-
senntially the same, though the latter
too much emphasis cannot be placed
on the immediate cutting and burning
of the branches which by the turning
black of the leaves show the presence
of the blight And this cutting should
be done in the healthy wood, five or six
inches below the affected branch. in
order ID to be certain OF removing all
the diseased wood. and e. to keep the
knife, or saw, from becoming infected.

Answering the question, Which
kind of wood lasts longest?" a writ
err in the Kansas City Journal, con-
tributes this interesting bit of infor-
nation: Some interesting expert
ments have been made to ascertain
which wood lasts the longest. 1t was
found that birch and aspen decayed
in three years, willow and chestnut
in four years, maple and red beech
in five years, and elm and ash in
seven years. Oak, Scottish fir and
Weymouth pine decayed to the depth
of half an inch in seven years; larch
and juniper were uninjured at the
nd of seven years. In situations so
free from moisture that they may
practically be called dry, the durabll-
ity of timber is unlimited. The roof OF
Westminster hall is more than $50
years old"
