Too Busy to be kind.

81 sometimes think we women
nowadays are in danger of being too
busy to be really useful" said an
old lady thoughttully, eve hear
so much about making every MN
ute count, and always having
some work or course of study for
spare hours, and having our active.
ness all systematized, that there is
no place left for small wayside kind
nesses. We go to see the sick
neighbor, and relieve the poor
neighbor, but for the common every.
day neighbor, who has not fallen
by the way, so far as we can see,
we havn't a minute to spare. But
everybody that needs a cup of col d
water isn't calling the fact out to
the world, and there are a great
many little pauses by the way
which are no waste of time, The
old-fashoned exchange of garden
flowers over the back fence and
friendly chats about domestic mat
tiers helped to brighten weary days,
and brought more. cheer than many
a sermon. We ought not to be too
busy to inquire for the girl away
at school or to be interested in the
letter from the boy at sea. 1t is a
comfort to the mothers lonley heart
to feel that some one else cares for
that which means so much to her.
Especially we ought not to be too
busy to give and receiev kindnesses
in our own home" May no one be
able to say of us that we are too
busy to be kind The Young
Woman.

Lime acts upon and greatly aids
the decomposition of organic matter
in the soil. 1t is used to neutralize
the organic acids contained in what
are called "sour Soils. 1t also acts
upon the inorganic, or mineral con-
stituants of the soil, and aids in
converting them into forms in
which they can be taken up by the
plants, especially in llberating
potash from its combination.

Amazing.

1t is amazing how many mothers
will give their children medicines
containing violent and dangerous
drugs for bowel and stomach dis
orders, when better results, with
absolute safety, can be obtained by
the use of a pure, pleasant, harm

In an experiment with corn a
farmer put three hogs in seperate
pens. One ate 3 1-2 bushels OF corn
on the ear in nine days, and gain
ed 10 pounds. The second ate, in
the same time l ga bushels of corn
coursly ground, and gained 10
pounds. The third consumed, in
the same time, one bushel of boiled
meal, and gained p pounds.

WIT OF INeERsoLL.

Ingersoll himself was as quick as
the quickest at repartee. One day
malignant believer in an. awful
time for the wicked after death
asked him:
-"Are you trying to abolish help"
"Yes" said Ingersoll.
swell, you can't do it,"
you'll be sorry if / don't, the
Colonel replied.
Agnostic though he was, Inger-
soil is frequently quoted by preach
ers, for in one respect he was much
like the rest of them-he never
wearied of urging men to right liv-
ing, not through any fear of etern-
al punishment, but because good
ness is its own excuse for being.
No pastor was ever more severe
than ne lin condemnation of any
thing mean and wicked in human
life. In his lighter moments he
was one of the merriest compan-
ions that any one could wish to
meet.

Ynnng trees need &c &c II;iioieti
for three or four seasons after plant
ing. The first two or three seasons
crops may be grown between the
rows. But,it is better if the plant
er can afford to give them the entire
ground the first and second season.
Corn should not be grown between
the small trees, Potatoes, COW
peas or soy beans are less liable to
injure the trees than corn.

Science to Pind Way to Ward Off
Death.

Man will live forever on earth
without fear of death, except by
accident, if modern science is sue
cessful in experiments now taking
shape in the great scientific labora-
tories, according to DR.. Albert P.
Mathews, professor of physiology
cal chemistry at the University of
Chicago. The immortality of the
body depends simply upon the dis
covery of diet which will keep
intact the fundamental principal
of the human cell, and it is prob
able that this will be found, Mr..
Mathews believes.
Professor Mathews, who has been
conducting remarkable experiments
in regard to the artificial formation
of life and the restoration of life
by artificial means, announced his
views in an article on "What is
Death ?" His view is that death is
cause d pri arily by
the cessation of respiration, which
may be kept up indefinitely if the
proper relation between food and
the fundamental cell substance is
found,
DR.. Mathews has discovered that
the breathing process causes the
same reaction as that produced by
alcohol on the substance "benzophe-
hone" in the sunlight. The alco-
hol in this experiment deeomposes,
and the substances formed are
sugar, amidoacids, proteids, and
other components of the human
cell.
The probability of correct diet
keeping up this ''life reaction" is
commented upon by DR.. Mathews
as follows:
snow, this reaction under perfect
conditions shound continue in
.defnately, and so render the human
body immortal. Unfortunately,
however, it does not so continue.
1t is the keen desire OF all to find
out why it does not continue and
to change conditions so that it will
continue as long as possible.
The chief causes of it's cessation
may be devided into obviously
extrinsic aud appearantely intrinsic
causes. The obvious external
causes are the ordinary causes of
death-accidents, assaults and TAX
ing of poison, the action of parasi-
ties and disease germs-these causes
of death are relatively easily re-
moved. They will be removed for
the most part in the near future.
These will remain apparently in
trinsic causes of death, improper
feeding and incomplete excretion."

Splitting Headache

Can be often RELIEVED by a nerve
sedative, but the scientific way of
treating headache is to go right
down to the real cause, or root of
the trouble, and CURE il with DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t is the
only perfect cure for headache,
dizziness, constipation, and is free
from the dangerous after-e effects,
which 80 frequently follow the use
of headache powders. Try it. Sold

Pnn!!.y Notes.

SSsos.
If hens must be kept in, the
poultry arrangements should be
made for the admission of plenty
of air; otherwise the poor birds
wili' have oppsessivcly not bed
rooms these warm nights.
1t will pay to keep the trim lit
tie pullets growing, and if you
want winter eggs don't let present
prices tempt you to sell the earli-
est pullets along with the cock
erels.
1t is pretty good plan where
chicken thieves are not trouble
some to shut up the poultry house
during the hot months and COM
pei the hens 10 roost outside In
thick leaved trees or under an
open shed they will have protec-
tion from rains, be cooler and
troublec less with lice. When the
cool nights come they will return
to the houses more vigorous for
their open air treatment.
Eggs are not very profitable at
present prices. 1t is better, we
think, to sell fewer eggs and allow
a number of hens to raise summer
broods of chicks. While the
chicks are being raised the hens
are resting from egg production
and in the autumn when eggs are
scarce and high they Will be ready
to lay again. While prices are
low is the time to give the hens a
needed rest; then the moulting
period will have little effect on
them.
When the poultry runs have been
used for long time and the earth
becomes saturated with dropplngs
and disease germs it can be disin-
fected and purified by satnratiag,
it with 5 per cent solution of car
bolic acid and applying a liberal
coating of lime. After a few days
pillow or spade it up and level it.
1t has been found that when
fowls are inclesed on small areas,
in plum or peach orchards, they
serve to protect the trees In a large
degree from insects. Those who
have been most successful do not
give the fowls large range, but
rather plant the trees in the poult-
ry yard, thereby using them to
provide shade for the fowls in
summer.
Turkeys are sure profit produc-
ers on the large farm where they
can have wide range. In their
extensive wanderings at this sea-
son they pick up the greater part
of their entire living. The worst
drawback with these fowls is the
habit of roosting away from home,
and this can be avoided by regular
feeding at night. When the
young turkeys find out they are
sure of their suppers they are pref
ty apt to "show up" But if the
owner gets too busy or careless to
have their feed ready and provide
drinking water he is sure to have
trouble in this respect.

Fruit is the newest cure for alco-
holism. Writing in a popular
magazine, Paul Arr says of fruit
that it is the one cure for the drink
ing habit. Eating fruit "will cure
the worst case of inebriety that
ever afflicted person." he says.
mo person ever saw aman or woman
who liked fruit and who had an
appetite for drink. No person ever
saw man or woman with an
appetite for drink who liked fruit.
The two tastes are at deadly enmity
with each other and there is no
room for both of them in the same
human constitution. One will
certainly destroy the other.

Bsscber's Repartee.

Mr.. Beecher's quickness at re-
partee, of which Americans knew
we'll, was entirely equal to Irish de.
mands upon it. One day in Ire
land. after he had made an address
to Sunday-school, a bewitching
young colleen came up to where he
stood chatting and said:
"Mr. Beecher, you have won my
heart"
SWELL" replied the great man
quicyly with sunburst of smile,

soil we're on the platform together
at public meeting and Beecher

lily with the gaeat agnostic, though
he knew that the act would bring
a storm of criticism from narrow
gauge souls. Then Ingersoll
brought up one of his daughters
and introduced her, saying:
"Mr. Beecher, here is girl who
never read the Bible" Bob de-
lighted in shocking ministers, but
he missed his fun that time, for
Beecher quickly replied:

BEECHER In THE SOUTH.
After the war Beecher made a
lecture tour of the south and appear
ed at Mozart Hall, Richmond, with
an address entitled. "The North
and the South" He was rather
doubtful as to the reception he
would have, but he knew what he
wanted and was determined TO
have it. No applause welcomed
him as he appeared on the platform,
but few Kisses were heard in the
gallery. In the better rows of
seats were some grim ex-Confeder-
ates--Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Gen Ros-
ser, ex-Gov. Smith, Gov. Cameron
and others. Beecher fixed his eye
directly on Lee and said(I quote a
newspaper report of the incident) /:
81 have seen pictures of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, sir, and ! assume
you are the man. Am right?"
The General slightly taken back
by this direct address, nodded stiff
ly, while the audiance bent forward,
breathless with curiosity as to what
was going to follow.
"Then," said Mr.. Beecher, his
face lighting up, 81 want to offer
you the right hand, which, in its
own way fought against you and
yours year ago, but which would
now willingly sacrifice to make the
Sunny South prosperous and happy.
Will you take 1t, GeneralP" There
was a moments hesitation, NOM
emit of deathlike stiffness in the
hall, and then Fitzhugh Lee was
on his feet, his hand was extended
acrvss tine fooJiignrs anu was quick
ly met by the warm grasp of the
preacher. At first there was muir
muir, half of surprise and half of
doubtfullness, from the audiance; ;
then there was a hesitating clap
ping of hands, and before Beecher
had Embossed the hand of Robert
4. Lees nephew there were cheers
such as were never before heard in
old Mozart, though it had been the
scene of many a war and political
meeting. But this was only the
beginning of the enthusiasm.
When the noise had subsidized Mr..
Beecher continued:
"When l go back home l shall
proudly tell that I have grasped
the hand of the nephew of the great
Southern Chiefton l shall tell my
people that went to the Confed-
crate capital with heart full Of
love for the people whom my prin-
ciples once obliged me to oppose
and who can forgive as well as
they can fight"
Five minutes of applause follow
ed and then Mr.. Beecher, having
gained the hearts of his audiance,
began his lecture and was applaud
