The Joy Of sef.Forgetfulness,

Only they who forget themselves
truly enjoy themselves. 1t Ia in living
for Others that we find the highest
comfort IN life. Until We learn that
we gain more through what We give
than through what we get, we fall of
the measure of happiness that is pos,
sible to us. A writer whose name and
words are dear to thousands OF hearts
says, In emphasis Of this truth, In .
personal hote, eff people knew how
much happier the life Of seIf-sacrifice
Is than the little, petty round Of self
seeking, would they not burst their
Lilllputian bonds, and walk as broad,
free souls, giving, as God gives, to good
and evil Mike? How one can feel MS .
christian, and yet not have a heart full
of love for everybody, is strange : How
one can be a christian, and not live for
others-is it possible? Yet many are
defrandlng themselves of the true
riches by being miserly in their love.n

RELIGIOUS.

Let us do all the business we can.
If we can't be a lighthouse, let us be
a ,tallow candle. Someone said, stI
can't be anything more than farthing
rushlight." Well, you can't be more,
be that; that is well enough. Be all
you can. What makes the Dead Sea
dead? Because it is all the time receiv-
Ing, never giving out anything. Yon
go every Sunday and hear good SER
mons and think that is enough. You
are all the time receiving these grand
truths but never give them out. When
you hear it, go and scatter the truth
abroad. Instead of having one minis
ter to preach to thousand people, this
thousand ought to take sermon and
spread It till 1t reaches those that never
go to church or chapel. Instead of
having few, we ought to have thous-
ands using the precious talents that
God has given then,.--D. L. Moody.

If you have been sending out of

ferior work call at The Srar office
and see samples and get prices.
We are always glad to do business
with the man who asks for PRICES.
in giving prices we make them
high enough SO that it will not be
necessary to add a little more to
our bill, when we present it, to
cover items we did not take into
consideration. Remember looking
at samples and getting prices does
not place you under any obligations
to give us the work. Inquiries by
mail receive prompt attention. You
are your own Judge of the finished
work; If it is not first-class in
every respect you simply don't ac-
cept it. We have no time to pre-
pare fifty dollar lecture and de-

spake for the capitalists unto the people
and did their embassies for them, say
ling that the capitalists were not folks
Iquick Of understanding, neither ready
1 of speech.
And the capitalists demanded of the
soothsayers that they should interpret
the things unto them, wberefor 1t was
that the people bought no more water
of them although the reservoir was full.
Certain OF the soothsayers answered
and said, it is overproduction, and
| some said, it is gIut, and others said
nay, but by reason of spots on the sun,
and yet others answered saying, it is
neither by reason of glut nor yet by
Espots on. the sun that this evil has
come to pass, but because of lack of
confidence.
And while the soothsayers contended
among themselves according to their
manner, the men of profit did slumber
and sleep. And when thy awoke they
said to the soothsayers: SIT is enough.
Ye have spoken confortlngly unto us,
go ye and speak, likewise, confortingly
unto the people so that they be at rest
and leave lis in peace" But the sooth-
savers, even the men of the dismal
science, (for so they were named by
some) were loathe to go forth to the
people less they should be stoned, for
the people loved them not; and they
said: Masters, it is mystery of our
craft that If men be full and thirst not, |
but be at rest then shall they find
comfort in our speech, even as ye. But |
if they thirst and be empty, find they
no comfort therein but rather mock us
for it seemeth that unless man be full
our wisdom appeareth unto him as
emptiness." But the capitalists said: |
"Go ye forth. Are ye not our men to
do our embassy"
And the sobthsayers went forth to
the people and expounded to them the
mystery Of overproduction, and how it
was that they must needs perish of
want because there was over much
water, and how there could not be
enough because there was too much.
And likewise spake they unto the peo-
pie concerning the sun spots, and also
that these things had come upon them
because of lack of confidence.

But the people answered saying;
"How can we buy unless ye hire us,
for how else shall we have wherewith-
all to buy. Hire ye US, therefore, as
before and we will gladly buy water
for we suffer, and ye shall have need
to advertise" But the capitalists said
unto the people: HShall we hire We to
bring water when the reservoir doth
already overflow. Buy We, therefore,
first water and when the reservoir is
empty through your buying will we
hire you again.n And SO it was. Be-
cause the capitalists hired them no
more to work the people could not buy
the water they had brought to the reser.
voir. The capitalists no more hired
them to work, and the saying went
abroad that it was a crisis, and the
suffering of the people was great, for 1t
was not known as it had been in the
days of their fathers when the land
was open before them for every one to
seek water for themself seeing that the
capitalists had claimed all the water
and rights of ways so that no. man
came by water save from the reservoir.
And the people Inurmured against
the capitalists and said; "Behold the
reservoirs runneth over and we die for
want of water; give us, therefore, of
the water that we perish not" But
the capitalists answered: mot SO. The
water is ours, ye shall not use thereof
unless you buy it. of us with money!
And they confirmed it with an oath,
after their manner that business is
business.
But the capitalists were disquieted
that the people bought no more water,
whereby they had no more any profits,
and they one to another said: uIt
seems our profits have stopped our
profits, and by reason of the profits we
have made we can make no more
profits. How is it that our profits
have become Improbable to us and
our gains make us poor? Let us, there.

GINSENG.

We are very sorry to see thai
several OF our state exchanges are
publishing long advertisements OF
ginseng. The advertisers claim
that there are large fortunes to
be made by cultivating the plant.
There is not particle of evidence
that any one has made cent from
it except by the sale of seed and
plants to others who were going
into business.
We were well acquainted with
this plant at the North. 1t is al
ways found ip cool, shady woods.
In cultivation it can cnly be grown
in cool climate under shade. 1t
Is found as far south as North Caro-
lima and Tennessee, but only on
the mountains, and there only in
the shade of heavy timber. We
have never believed that it could
be successfully raised IN Florida
under any possible conditions.
However, these are not the only,
nor the most serious, reasons for
wishing to discourage the planting
of ginseng here, or anywhere else.
There has been some ginseng raised
to salable size, but there is no
sale for it. The Chinese are the
only buyers and they absolutely re-
fuse to buy the cultivated roots.
So far as is kcwn to medical science,
the root has no medical value, but
the Chinese have a superstitious
idea that the wild roots are GER
tain cure for some diseases, but the
cultivated roots do not fill the bill
with them, so they do not want
them at any price As the roots
are absolutely. worthless for any
other purpose, there is no use in
growing them Florida Agricul-
turist.
We publish the above for the
benefit Of our readers who have
been reading ginseng advertise
ments. We will also state, for the
benefit of Our exchanges who are
running this ad, that we received a
rush order to run it also. The
contract was filled out with a lead
pencil which made it easy to
change and we eraced the &c. and
placed I5c. in its stead, likewise
the quarterly was changed to

One of the hardest problems of life
is to fully understand another mans
business. While this is most difficult
thing to do, SO many seem to feel that
they have solved 1t, and can tell more
of the business Of another than they
can of their own. The man who is
not engaged in farming knows how
easy 1t is, and just how to go at it to
make it win, and he sees no hard
problems to solve in farming. Many
have had an opportunity to know bet
ter than this. Every man who has
tried 1t is in position to know this,
and he is usually ready to admit that
1t requires some brains to farm.

Markets will never be more over
loaded with apples than any other
fruit or farm products. The consumers
are increasing every year. The senti-
ment favoring fruits for daily use in
every family is increasing. There
never will come time when apples
cannot be marketed with good profit
to the grower. If the green fruits are
low in price they may be evaporated
or converted into cider and vinegar or
made into buffers. jams and jellies. The
fruits are not SO perishable that they
must be marketed Mt loss.

AS spring draws near an you sort
over the apples, procure barrel or two
of pine planer shavings. They will
give them to you free at almost any
planning mill. Pick out perfect apples
of the best keeping varieties and pack
them in layers in the barrels with the
shavings so that they do not touch
each other. Packed SO they will keep
until new apples are. ripe, if the cellar
is cool and dry. Oats are good If the
shavings cannot be obtained.

mother whose little folks went to school
We're always sent home before the reading
class They did this lesson at home and
were never allowed a chance to initiate the
class reading of the other children.
In the "Collections"-
OF stamps, stones, butterflies and what not
which are brought in by your boy is one of
the few interests which you and he can
have in common. : There is plenty of COM
mon ground for interest between the moth
er and her girls but the subjects upon
which she and her boy can fraternize are
few and far between.
There is nothing rejuvenates in the round
of house, table and dress subjects like the
getting away to and learning about some
thing abstract. 1t not only helps the boy
but helps the mother herself and If she
will clip whatever comes in her reading, or
use her wiser head to get something out
of the library upon his chosen subject, she
will find that he is both stimulated to OBJ
serve and delve into things, and that she
has risen a great many degrees in his estt-
nation. OF course, artistically, the collec-
ton of the boy in the house is nuisance,
but the view which comes to the mother
through his outside interests and develop
ment is wider and more beautiful than the
view into her perfectly appointed dining
room, unmarried by the cases of his woods
or rocks. After all, the happy childhood, In
which the house Is owned by him with
the fewest possible restrictions necessary
Is the right of every child and the free
dom in bringing in friends to look at his
collection is one of the best ways to
drive home this sense of ownership. His

ton and comparison, and can be made the
means of enlarging his bump of things geo.

ton In other directions.
The mother who does not let her boy get
