Kindness to the Evrins.

In . thousand ways our paths in
life will be crossed by those who COM
NIT errors. It will be easy to find
fault; it is natural to blame. But We
must never forget that farther back
far beyond our sight. lie causes that
tend to produce these results. Well
may mother look with deep anxiety
upon the infant, wondering what
destiny lies before it. Alas! that q
mothers hope and prayers often do
not avail. Drifted away from the
parental control. the footsteps fall
amid temptations and life of sin is
the result. We should never forget,
in our treatment Of the erring, that
were the mother present she would
plead with us to deal gently with her
child. w. s.

The act is in part a. follows:

THE BACKYARD FARMER.

And now the backyard farmer
Rises early every morn,
To plant the bulbOus radish,
And the lettuce, and the corn.
He is most enthusiastic,
And he's up at half past five
To hoe, and weed, and water
And see how the onions thrive.
He is dreaming of the summer,
When the green peas will be ripe
And he can have fresh salads
With his roast beef and his tripe.
He is thinking Of the autumn
And the big potato crop,
And he hoes, and weeds, and waters
Till he really hates to stop.
He hoes, and weeds, and waters,
And the perspiration flows
Like a river from his forehead,
And it drips down off his nose.
Happy, happy backyard farmer,
With his plantlets and his seeds,
Though his crop this year, as always,
Will be principally weeds!

of the house, aged seven, was receiving
final instructions from her mother.
"And now, DEAR" she said, when

Presently the great man arrived,
and after greeting his host and hostess
he said to the child, "Well, my dear,

clasped hand exclaimed:
"For what we are about to receive

Why Worry Kills.

Every one knows innumerable
reasons why it S foolish to worry,
the chief one being, perhaps, that
it is so utterly useless, but science
has added a new reason which is
worth considering. 1t not only
states that worry will kill, but ex-
explains why it will kill. Worry
rs a disease of the brain, a disease
which destroys certain cells of the
brain, often beyond repair. Like
an enemy in the night, worry
creeps upon the brain and begins
its sledge-hammer process of de-
struction. The vitality of the
delicate organism is slowly de-
stroyed. Nature may repair the
destruction if worry comes at in
tervals, but worry is habit and
its power grows each time it IS
allowed admittanCe. Selected.

-They are not here, was the re-
ply. "Depew is in a sanitarium
and Plat is too feeble to sit here

nothing and listened to Bailey, for
a time longer. Then he sighed and
remarked: Gee! Wouldn't New
York be lucky if she could trade
off Plat and Depew for Bailey?"

4 LINE NEEDED.

Since the discontiuuauCe OF the
military telegraph line up the river,
there is no way Of obtaining any
news from that section. The recent
rise in the river, and the almost
total lack of Information except
from a few stations along the way,
emphasize the absolute necessity of
such a line. Our representative in
congress, Hon. Jno. n. Garner,
who has always proven himself a
tireless worker for this section,
should be requested 30 use his best
efforts for the establishment of a
telegraph line up the river in order
that residents of the contiguous
territory might at all times be in
formed of the condition of the
river. This lack of information
would prevent many losses, and
THE HERALD hopes the matter
will at once be taken up and strong
pressure brought to bear to have q
line established. Strong endorse
mentS could be secured all along
the river, and Hon. Mr.. Garner
would take pleasure in giving the
matter his attention.

Wealth of Nations.

The latest estimate of national
wealth by competent authority
was recently given before the
British income tax committee by
Mr.. Mallet, one of the commits
sioners of inland revenue. Mr.,
Mallet placed the nations income
at 50, 900, 600, 900. against the S.
500, 900, 900 of Prussia. The capital
of the United Kingdom he estimat-
ed as SAP, 100000. which was
double that of France and four
times that of Italy.
According to his estimate, the
number Of persons possessed of
fortunes of over $500, 900 was, in
the United Kingdom $4,000, in
France $4,000, in Prussia II, 900
and III Italy 1900.
An kngllShman with an income
of S., 900 pays $3.50 income tax; a
Prussian pays S212.5O on S., 900 of
unearned income and $3.50 in case
of earned income.
The wealth of the United States
cannot be estimated from any Of
fetal source, but at the observed
ratio of increase noted in 1900 it
cannot well be less than S110, 000-
900, 900, aud is probably considera-
bly, greater New York World.

THE president Of the A and NJ.
College seems determined to keep
that institution Hithin the reach
of the sons of our industrial classes;
particularly near to the farming
classes of the state. 1t IS easy to
raise the entrance requirements of
a college or university until only
the cream of the youth Of the
state, so far as preparation goes, is
collected. But the sturdy young
men from the rural districts,
though not so well trained, may
have the stamina Of body and
brain that will carry them forward
in the race of life. They should
not, therefore, be cut off from the
opportunity to secure higher
education. The faculty of the
college has arranged to take care
of these young men by providing
that approved candidates for en-
trance when over 10 years of age
may be admitted without exami-
nation. OF course, if such men
graduate they must work harder
than their more fortunate COM
panions who are better prepared.
