The Rich Pay the Book Fines.


Wealthy people are careless, says the
public librarian. They are slow In re-
turning the books which they have
taken to read.
Last year 81, 422.79 In fines was paid
at the library This Is the total of
sums which ranged from 2 cents to a
dollar. 1t is the penalty paid for keep
ing books longer than the prescribed
week or two weeks. The fine is 2
cents day.
Poor persons and persons in mod
crate circumstances are very punctual
In returning books Mrs. Whitney
said. very seldom do they keep them
overtime. But the wealthy are not SO
careful. A fine of few cents makes
no difference, and they pay it without
comment.
mot long ago little girl came in the
library and laid 2 cents down before
the cashier. Her face was smeared
with licorice, and her hands were
gummy and sticky. She held half
stick. of it closely in her hand.
"sYour fines IA cents the cashier
said.
"'Well, 100 take at the little one
responded, am ever time papa dives
me nickel to buy tandy I'll save 700
two pennies. An I'll pay it,
THAT'S financing a deficit" Mrs.
Whitney said. 1--WE RENTED the fine"

Value Of Eishskins.

''Eishskins are popularity regarded
as about the most useless thing on
earth, not good to eat and only valua-
BILE to hold together the good fish meat
inside them" said man who had
caught fish or worked in fish packing
houses all his life. But just wait I'M
til we begin to pay more for our glue,
and then we'll sit up and think about
the fishskins. The market value Of
this commodity has advanced rapidly
the past few years, and in another year
it is going to take q decided leap up
ward.
ut was only a few years ago that
fishskins were thrown away as worth
less, and the fish packing companies
get rid of them. In one place where
worked there was a hole In the fish
skinning loft which was connected
with runway into the water beneath
the wharf. Even then we would I'LL up
the hole quicker than the skins could
be carried away. Some firms used to
go to the expense of having the skins
carted away to some dumping ground
"But one day some one woke up to
the fact that the skins had certain ad-
hesive qualities, and fish glue began
to be manufactured. Then fishskins
took on commercial value. Since then
the price has advanced steadily. The
demand now is so large that it is prob
able the price will be doubled within
year."-New York Press.

one in unity for the cross. | remember
many years ago, when in our seminary
we We're discussing the sacraments,
said TO our professor: Doctor, You say
that we must use wine and bread at
the Lords supper Suppose I were on
an arctic expedition Surprising we
were caught amid the icebergs and in
all probability were about to die; sup
posing | wanted to have the COM
munion of the Lords supper with the
men of the ship, and supposing the
only food we had left was some hard
tack and some soup, could use the
soup for the wine and the hard tack
for the bread2" The professor looked
at me moment in surprise. Then he
said: "Under such condition the soup
would be as acceptable to God as the
wine and the hard tack as the bread.
1t is not the wine and the bread that
we lift to the lips which make us con-
secrated to the Saviour, but the spirit
of the yielding of our own hearts to his
divine will.
The old professor was right. 1T is
not by ecclesiastical formulas that you
and are going to come to the cross,
but only by consecrating our lives to
Christs will Friends, you may have
been clubbing i'll the past You may
have been switching yourself off from
, the main spiritual issue. Do you be-
lieve that Jesus is divine? Do you be-
lieve that he died to save you? Will
you accept his offer of salvation? VIII
you here and now consecrate your life
to save men and women by Christ's
blood from sin and death and hell?
YEA, yea!'' you answer. Then pledge
yourselves to him. Having given your
selves to him and his cause, join with
brethren Of any name In work for him
and, following the apostles advice,
preach Christ crucified and avoid fool
ish questions"

How many English readers who have
read the witch trial Of Vienna know
that just such women as Marie Nebily,
performing just such tricks, are to be
found in England? Marie seems to
have surprised the Austrian judge by
her story of the Hungarian shepherd,
Stephan Stephanovics, who is ninety
years old and who sells charms and in
whom she believes. He made the re-
mark. which we have so often heard
before, that the world is not In the mid

THE FIRST THUNDER SHOWER.

It came the other eyening-the fash the reverberating roar and downpour Of the first thunder shower-an unques- tcnable and authentic hamburger of r.:ring. Groundhog signs offer diver son and speculation, the note of the bluebird and robin gives hope, but, however sweet and thrilling their mes- sage, 1t Is uttered in faith only and received with misgiving. But the first thunder shower removes all doubt and reaches the heart-relieyes the tension and suspense and brings the sense of relief we feel when the shower comes at sundown after a long, heated and weary day. And what music 1t all Is the roll of the thunder, the batter of the rain and the slop and gurgle of the overfiowing caves and pipes! And after the damp stiffness of night morn- Ing comes, natures face washed clean after her long sleep and ready for her Season-long days work. God pity those who lack the capacity to sense the exhilaration and the soul inspiring benediction of the first thunder shower,

EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS.
Some Accommodation to tho Maine
 State Grange.

Some Recommendation to tho Maine
 State Grange.
 Indicative of the interest which the grange takes on education everywhere may be cited the following from the report of the committee on education of the Maine state grange:
 We indorse the suggestions that sub ordinate garages so arrange their pro- grammes that they may discuss the fol- lowing questions:
 First - The necessary physical sur. roundings for q school.
 Second. - The changes needed In our courses of study, both in the common schools and in the high schools.
 Third-Why should boys and girls take the high school and university courses? Fourth.-The financial value of educa ton.
 Fifth. - The study of nature in the grange. the home and the school.
 Sixth.-What does the grange owe tho schools?
 Seventh.-The ideal citizen.
 We would also add 10 these the sug. gestion that each lecturer of a subordi- nate grange secure one or more copies of the Maine school laws and arrange to discuss one or more secticus of them at each literary meeting.
 This is taking the question of the right education of our young people Into systematic and careful considera- ton, and the outcome of such discus sion in the various granges of the state will be fraught with good.

Debating Teams to Contest.

The Springfield (Mass.) Pomona has undertaken to organize series of de bates between teams representing va rious subordinate granges. The plan is for each local organization to elect or otherwise designate a debating team of three members. The different teams from the several granges in the Pomo- na circuit will be paired off, and the winners of one set will debate the win ners of a second set. When the contest Is narrowed down until two undefeated teams remain, these teams will go be- fore the Springfield Pomona grange and debate for honors.

 There are very few of the common garden flowers which are not greatly benefited by generous fertflizing For this purpose nothing is better than we'll rotted stable manure, which should be worked into the soil before The plants are set out. This enrich ment of the bed, coupled with fre- luent stirring of the soil and plenty )f water, is bound to produce flowers n abundance and luxuriance
 A friend of the writer, who has had abundant opportunity to appreciate the :hort-ightedness of the land skinning system which is so prevalent in many localities, tells us that he has found t,!e sowing of clover, four quarts to the h d proposition even if the clover Is blow ed under in the fall. He makes a prac- tice of pasturing the clover in the fall, scatters nine loads of manure to tho acre, and figures that both he and the land are ahead as result
 Considerable interest on the part of o-+c centered upon a fiber plant which has been lately discovered in South Amer lea. It closely resembles our native hemp, grows to maturity in five months, is hardy and requires no spe- cial handling. The stalk produces three grades of fiber, which can be used In the manufacture of different grades of textile fabrics, while the remainder of the plant can be worked up into the finest grades of writing paper. While 1t is little too early to state how val uable the plant may prove, 1t would seem to give promise of filling a very important place in our agricultural economics.
 Professor P. c. Holden of the Iowa Agricultural college, generally recog aized as the greatest authority on corn and corn culture in the United States, says, If the corn fields of Iowa were mine and I could give but one order, that order would be, Test six kernels of corn from every ear of seed intend ed for planting" What Is said here touching the state of Iowa is equally true of every state in the corn belt Were the instruction above given car lied out faithfully and carefully 1t would result in an increase of the corn crop of the coming year by many hun lreds of millions of bushels. The av- rage yield of corn the country over is tbout thirty-two bushels per acre when 1t ought to be double that
