The good which the revival has
done is paramount. 1t is hard to es-
innate the number which have been
converted and brought into a Chris
tian life, but the influence upon the
city as a whole is evident. The con-
ditions are pronouncedly better and
crime of all kinds has been in abate-
ment during the last few weeks. The
city has experienced a religious up
heaval and out of the chaos has
come a condition better and purer
than has existed in many years.

The partitions between the cows are

There are no partitions in front of the

fodder can be distributed in it in good
shape. The platform should drop from

Near PoughkeepSic. y. V. where

Market gardeners in many other

Mt the winning end Of the game. The
woman who rules her household
through her temper and the fear OF
1t which she inspires IN others can
never hope to be loved. She may be
feared and 1t is thankless job to
try to please her. but as for love
having no control over herself-she
cannot hope to control others.
A temper never improves with age.
If nursed and given way to when
young in life, it gets worse and worse.
until those who love you heave sigh
OF relief when death comes as all
emancipation from the thralldom.
And yet even the worst temper can
be cured by thought and keeping II
strict watch over ones self. One Of
the most passionate women 1t was
possible to know cured herself by
leaving the room and counting one
hundred before she allowed herself to
speak. 1t is a simple method, but GER
talnly efficacious, given the wish to
cure that which wrecks many homes.

What Culture Il.

Culture is simply the perfect devel-
opment of the life within. Culture is
hoperulness of mind and heart light
ness Of touch, deepness Of insight,
freshness of feeling. 1t has been said
that We're it not for the children the
world would grow old. The cultured
man Is II child in his magical power
of seeing things 1oyously surprisingly.
He retains the delight Of the first i'm
preston. be 1t the beauty OF a poem
or the glory OF an art creation or the
loveliness of landscape. To be able
to see a familiar object the hundredth
time with the same approach of sur
prise and charm and enthusiasm that
you saw it the first time; to see with
fresh eyes and feel with a fresh heart
is one OF the happy and helpful things
some carry with them from childhood
over into middle life. and rare and
fortunate few even down to old age.

A Woman of Tact,

The tactful woman is never the
candid woman. The tactful woman
Is always delight to her friends,
while the candid woman somehow
throws one into Il little futter of I'M
pleasant expectancy.
The candid woman will say to you.
MY dear. | have something to say to
you" and then proceeds to say 1t, and
1t is ever the fact that what your
candid friend has to say to you 'fOr
your own good Is always unpleas-
ant.
Now, the tactful woman Overlooks
your shortcomings. and, II she loves
you we'll enough to play the part OF
missionary toward you, she finds a
nicer way to help you remedy your
mistakes than by telling you plainly
and bluntly how very faulty are your
actions
The tactful woman is not the insin-
cere woman. BY no means should we
confound the two. Indeed the tact
ful woman Is always tender OF heart.
and ready with sympathy. else her
role would be easily guessed. which
would spoil it all-spoll 1T all for us
who love to see her coming because
we know that while she is with us we
will feel that we are at our very best,
and that when she leaves us we will
not be haunted with the thought that
maybe, after all, we are not nearly
80 clever and bright as we thought
ourselves.
1t Is not necessary to he character
less. to be ever agreeing with others
in what they think. but the tactful
woman knows when and where to dis
agree When she meets some one as
generous as herself-that Is, willing
that others should entertain their own
views as well as they do theirs-then
she holds to her own.
But there are folks. you and ! know.
as well as the tactful woman. who
insist that they and they alone hold
the right opinions OF a certain or any
situation Then the tactful woman
sinks self; not humbly or with any
show Of doing So but so gracefully
that there Is not the least little sting
felt by anybody. And the woman
who can do this IS generous.
Some women are born tactful. 9th
ers learn the art. but alas. more are
not born that way. and as many more
never learn the art.-The Housewife

"Laying By" the Corn.
1t is common practice among corn
growers to LAY corn by" When thu
season Is an exceptionally good one
and when the soil Is free from weeds
seed corn may be laid by with no evil
results. In a dry season or wet sea-
son or where weeds and vines grow
rapidly and in untold numbers, laying
corn by Is entirely out of the question
To lay corn by too often means to let
the weeds alone. or it may mean To
let the surface crust cake, crack open
and through the maturing season al
low the much needed moisture to leave
through surface evaporation. If pos
sible get the cornfield free Of weeds
and vines. and after the hard rains OF
June and early July are over and the
summer drought sets in run through
tue corn once or twice with a shallow
working tool. 1t leaves the surface
level, prevents surface washing and
conserves the moisture Weeds re-
quire moisture. When they grow In
corn they feed upon the same plant
food. take the same moisture that the
corn plant feeds upon. Should there
be shortage Of either plant food or
moisture the weed gets it's part and
lets the corn plant go hungry and
thirsty
This is a very critical period in the
life OF the corn plant. If 1t is tended
well. If it is to make its largest yields
the work must be done at once. De
lay means loss. BE ready for the rush
when the rains cease.-W. Il. Ander-
