GEORGE KEPT HIM BUSY,
Matrimonial Engagements Seemed AL
 ways in Order.

4 well-known Virginia clergyman, onetime president of William and Mary college, was married three times and On each occasion the ceremony was performed by his brother, an even more renowned bishop. When the first marriage took place, the bishop had to refuse a tempting invitation from an old friend because-so the letter ran-T am going up to Williamsburg on that date to marry my brother George"
 The same friend happened to be on the train with him, years after ward, when he was travelling to the second ceremony. q am going to mar ry my brother George" the bishop explained, benignly, after the business of greeting was over. Again many years passed, and the same journey was taken once more for the same purpose. By a strange coincidence, the identical friend ran into the bish- op as they hurried through the depot to their respective trains. Where go- ing bishop?" the former sang out as they grasped hands and dashed by each other.
 T am going where I am always go- ing" the answer came back, ponder ously, "to marry my brother George!" -Earper's Weekly.

HeIpina Impecunious Man.

"If you happen to have theater tick cts that haven't cost you anything" said the bachelor girl, "and don't want to take woman, you must diplomatic ally go about asking some man you know if you want his company If he is a man without money, and he generally is if he is very interesting, he will have dozen engagements that prevent his accompanying you. He wants to go, you understand, but
 ''This is what you must do. You must explain to him quickly, in the same breath that you ask him, that you have dinner engagement before hand and that you must come home straight after the theater. You can't possibly stop anywhere for anything in the way of refreshments. It is out of the question.
 You'll be surprised to see the magical suddenness with which his previous engagements take to them- selves wings and disappear" New York Press.

HER "BEST FRIEND."
A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum.

We usually consider our best friends those who treat us best.
 Some persons think coffee a real friend, but watch it carefully awhile and observe that it is one of the meanest of all enemies for it stabs one while protesting friendship.
 Coffee contains a poisonous drug nervous system and frequently sets up disease in one or more organs of the body, if it's use is persisted in.
 q had heart palpitation and nerv- ousness for four years and the doctor told me the trouble was caused by coffee He advised me to leave it off, but I thought I could not" writes a Wis. lady.
 "On the advice of a friend I tried Postum Food Coffee and it so satis- fled me that I did not care for coffee after few days trial of Postum.
 "As weeks went by and I continued to use Postum my weight increased from 98 to 118 pounds, and the heart trouble left me. I have used it year now, and am stronger than I ever was. I can hustle up stairs without any heart palpitation, and am cured of nervousness.
 My children are very fond of Post um and it agrees with them. My sis ter liked it when she drank it at my house, but not when she made it at her own home. Now she has learned to make it right, boil it according tC directions, and has become very fond of it. You may use my name if you wish, as am not ashamed of praising my best friend-Postum" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Read 'The Road te Wellville," in. pkgs. There's a Req , aop."

FARMER AND
 PLANTER
TO INDUCE FALL LAYING.
Feed Varety-Not Too Much of Any
 One Kind.

A little care and additional atten- tion and work with the hens on the place at this season will be well re- paid. This is the beginning of the nloulting, or shedding season, and a good many of the hens are not laying, and will not lay for some two or three months under the usual course of neg lect and indifference on the part of their owners. And yet, it is possi- ble to get goodly number of fall eggs, if we will go at it right.
 To induce fall laying, the hens should have variety of foods-not ai great deal of any one kind, but, a little of several kinds. For this pur- pose, all the waste of the kitchen and the dining-room should be saved and given to them. The best plan is to have good sized pot handy, and throw all scraps into it. Let 1t sit at the back of the kitchen stove; and at the close of either the breakfast, or midday meal, put some oats, or wheat in it too, with water, and soak all together. It will not take long to do 1t, and then when cooled off some, call up the hens and give it to them. It will start them to singing and run. ming about in happy way, and soon also start them to the nest, and keep some of them laying all through the autumn and fall.
 In addition to the eggs this system will bring, it will also keep the hens healthy and vigorous and enable them to shed and reclothe themselves in near feathers earlier than other wise.

Husbands Ghost Stops Wedding.

Declaring that her dead husband had come to her in spirit and warned her against marrying again, Mrs. Mary Lincoln of Wilmerding, widow of Charles Lincoln, refused to proceed with her intended marriage to Jo- seph Parker, also of Wilmerding, and the guests were dismissed, says a Pittsburg dispatch to the New York Times.
 A little over a year ago her hus- band died. After a brief period of mourning she agreed to marry MT. Parker. He furnished house and invitations were issued
 The other afternoon MT. Parker found her in tears. Her mother said that some time during the pre- vious night her daughter had come sobbing into her room and declared that she had just been visited by the spirit of her dead husband. He had warned her against marrying again, she said, and when she pro tested the spirit had taken hold of her arms and held her until she prom ised that she would give up the mar riage. She asserted that her arms ached from t,ae encounter.

Mansfield's Rebuke.

A group of theatrical men were talk. ing in New York about the late Rich ard Mansfield.
 MT. Mansfield" said one, was a de- lightful humoroist, a splendid racon- teur in society, but at the same time he had certain proper and becoming sense of his own dignity, and it never paid to be unduly familiar with him.
 .He was, as We all know, rather bald. He resented, from barbers, or friends, any allusion to his badness.
 "Well, one night at a party, man came up behind this great artist, stag gered him with violent slap on the back, and exclaimed in a loud, jovial, familiar voice:
 "'Hello, Dick. How are you? Every time I see you, you get balder and balder.'
 Mansfield drew himself up. He sneered at the other.
 Hello,' he said. I don't know who yo'' are, but every time I see you you get ruder and ruder.'"

TO THE FARMER-BOY.
His Chances Are Best In His Homo Town Rather Than in the Big City.

My boy, the farm is all right. Some times you may feel that its environs are too narrow for you, its life too much of a humdrum, and that you would prefer to be one of the residents of the big city or town. There have been hundreds and thousands of oth- CTS just like you, and with just such ideas. They have started from the farm buoyant with hope, and after years have regretted their youthful resolutions. Others have succeeded; have won laurels in the professional field, in business, in statesmanship; but the few who have succeeded thus are so small in number compared to the army of failures that there is lit tie encouragement for the careful thinker to leave that which promises security from want and independence for a life time. The farmer is surely the most independent of all workers. He is sure to receive a greater re- ward for his labors, is his own man. ager, and if he will strive diligently can aspire to a place in the public es- timate that few can attain in the large towns.
 Of course there are times when you think there is almost an unbearable dullness about existence on the farm. Were you a resident of the city, there would be times when you would long for the quietness and the pleasure that the farm affords. Hours of work may be long riding the blow, or harvesting the grain, but far superior is the work than that the great majority of the city youths are compelled to follow, and how much greater the compensa- tion? How would you like to stand behind the dry goods or grocery coun- ter from morning to night for tho small wages that the city clerk re- ceiYes? Year after year the laborer lives in cheap boarding houses and rarely save sufficient to engage in business. His is mere subsistence, and a constant struggle. The best years of life are wasted in making trious farmer is working for himself, saving money year after year, and when the time for rest comes it en- ables him to take it.
 Cities are overcrowded with clerk help. An advertisement inserted in any daily paper for clerk to fill any position will bring hundreds of re. sponses. The array of unemployed and those seeking to better their con- ditions is always large. Of late years a large element of workers from cit ies are looking toward the farms for employment They realize that the farm offers more permanency of occu- patton and greater independence than like efforts in the city can possibly afford. Before you concentrate your attention on employment in city or town, weigh every matter we'll and ti7vfs aet-accordins -te-vv1ae- =.s---s-s tates. You will be very liKe4, .o con clude that the farm is good enough place for you, and that your own lit tie home town is preferable to the over-crowded city Remember that your greatest interests center in what you call your "home town" Dc all you can to assist in it's improve ment, and make it a better business place.

Education.

Intelligence Is the distinguishing mark between the savage and civ ilized man. Education is one of the greatest of Gods blessings, and ig- norance curse. In America there ex- ists no valid reason why every man, woman and child of normal brain should not have an education. There is no phase of life where knowledge is not necessary. In the most progress sive communities is where the supe- rior schools are found. Help along your town and help along education in general. By affording your chil' dren a chance for good education, you offer them riches that cannot be destroyed; it is ready cash in hand, assets that one cannot be robbed oi only by act of Providence

Happiness.

Happiness is an inexpensive and therefore very common form of en- joyment.
 Happiness and pleasure must not be confused. Happiness is sort of felicitous opiate administered by a charitable Providence to those who cannot afford anything better. Often person so poor that he has nothing left but health and moderate in- come will be foolishly, extrayagantly, riotously happy. Then why begrudge the rich their pleasure, which wcu.i appear to be the only fun that is leis for them? Is it not a fair and i'm partial division?
 ungrateful- foc-any ~cne-ta -sasgs gest that pleasure, being always pre- ferred, often carries bonus of com mon, which is happiness, by reason of which the rich get more than their share! Such people are not entitled 10 be poor. They should be deprived of their dope. They should be very rich-Life

Home Trade Idea Not New.

Day after day the people are awak- ,ening to the fact that the only way the evils of trusts can be combatted is by an adherence to the home trade doctrine. It is nothing new It was the sentiment that prompted the founders of our government to sound the clarion of Liberty from the sum- init of Bunker Hill. Then, it was the forcing of a people dependent on an- other government to pay an unjust tribute for necessaries of life. To- day it is one class of people of na- tion, and the greatest nation on earth, 10 compel the other classes to pay un- just tribute in commercial way. The wrong was righted by blood in the first case; the wrong can be fighted in the present case by the people with out resorting to serious trouble, by merely exercising their prerogatives and the means that lie in their power to prevent the concentration of great wealth in the big financial centers by keeping their surplus earnings at home. It is the draining the dollars from the country to the large cities that assist in building up the great combines, the great trusts, which are manipulated to the deteriment of the people of the country at large. It does not require special legislation for the farmer to buy four made in his home mill; to use other products made in his county or state, or to patronize the merchants of his home town.

The fact that it has been demon strated by good farmers that oats can be raised more cheaply than corr should stimulate oat growing. With this crop, as with wheat, the lant should be well prepared, and only good seed should be used. For oats, SOW two bushels of seed ger acre of some good winter variety.
 Rye is another crop that should re ceive more attention than we are giv ing it. Almost any land will grow some rye, bu- the better tho land the more rye we will get.

Gathering and Saving Cotton.

While it is well to pick the cotton as rapidly as is necessary, we should not do that at the expense of every thing else; and especially do we ad- wise against the custom of picking and ginning immediately. It will te far better to let the cotton lie in hulk for some time before ginning, provided the seed cotton is dry when picked. No gin can make it's best turnout either in quality or quantity on green cotton. Again, when cotten is ginned, put it under cover.

Take Your Eyes to the Cornfeld.

Take Your EyeS to the Cornfield.
 This is the time to selet the seed corn in the field, provided it has not already been attended to. It has been fully demonstrated that varieties bear ing two or more ears to the stalk will yield more corn per acre than varieties bearing only one ear to the stalk At the Edgecombe Test Farm last year there was a difference at the rate of about twenty-nine bushels per acre in the yield of different varieties of corn, and the yield at the other Test Farm of different varieties bore about the same ratio to each other. the importance of seed selection.
 In field selection, we advise taking for an ideal strong, vigorous, sym metrical stalk, not too high, bearing two or more good well-shaped ears, some four or five feet from the ground, and that have medium shanks so as to permit the ears to turn down and sfreu ~se- lecting ears that stand upright so as to permit the rain to run ill and cause the grain to rot, neither do we ad- wise the long shank so often seen in corn. A medium between the two ex- tremes is best. Use care in selecting, for if one selects only a dozen or two stalks in day and the stalks so se- leeted are of the ideal type for plant ing a seed plat, it will be time well spent. Make start on such selection this month.
