remember that in few short months

many in the northwest, particularly
the Dakotas, this suggestion should
come with particular force, inasmuch
as the instances were not a few last
winter where partly through improVi-
dence in the matter of laying in sup
ply OF coal, partly through inability OF
the railroads to deliver coal that had
been ordered, many families endured
extreme suffering from the cold ana
We're compelled to burn their barns
and sheds and in some cases their
household furniture to keep from freez-
ing to death. 4 suggestion which has
been made by transportation officials
to the effect that where possible con-
sumers of coal shou' lay in their coal
supply early is a most sensible one
that ought to be more generally fol-
lowed.

A SUGGESTION.

There are all too many rural cOmmu-
mites of thousand or two inhabitants
with from five to eight different reli-
giOus organizations where there is
nothing SO much needed as an applica-
ton of the principle of consolidation
which is just now such a potent in
duence in the hard listed commercial
world. Such union of religious forces
would not only mean fewer underpaid
and half starved preachers. but a bet
ter quality Of preaching, better music
and more money to devote to mission
airy, educational and other phiIan-
thropic purposes. At present there
does not seem to be much tendency for
this idea to take root in the religious
field, but that it must sooner or later
do so is coming to be quite generally
recognized

Curse of INDIGESTION,

The man who is always asking adj
vice from everybody never takes it
from anybody. He is. much too weak
minded even to make up his mind as
to which advice suits his mind the

Of indecision which the earnestly ex~
pressed opinions of his friends and &C.
quaintances only serve to aggravate.
The end Of such a man is confusion
and disaster, which are really all that
he deserves.-London Weekly Dis

of on hot days by keeping two or three
kernels of coffee in his mouth. This
might tend to bring saliva to the
mouth and seem locally to satisfy the
craving for something to drink, but it
is well to remember that Il parched
mouth is not only evidence that the
mouth, but the whole system as we'll,
is in need of liquid refreshment, and
the keeping of coffee in the mouth
would hardly supply this. Where a
worker is prone to drink more water
than his system really needs a substi-
tute of this kind might be a good
thing, but as for taking the place of
water for one who drinks only moder
ate quantities it would seem to have
very little to back it from any sound

GROUNDING WIRE FENCES.

The grounding of the wire fences
which inclose the pasture will often
prevent the loss Of stock by lightning
which may strike in the vicinity. This
is done by taking short piece Of
wire. wrapping ii about each of the
two or three wires which constitute
the fence, as the case may be, and
sticking the lower end from foot to
eighteen inches into the ground di-
rectIy beneath the fence. The current
OF electricity is thus diverted to the
ground. which, is a relatively good con-
ductOr. and does not follow the fence
for q great distance to spend its
force on the bodies of the farm ant
mails. which may happen to be seek
ing shelter near it or under the trees
which may be close at hand.

THE LATE WEEDS.

The home garden needs and usually
gets that degree Of care which will
bring the crops which are planted in
1t to maturity, and it also needs and
very seldom gets that attention which
will prevent the late maturing weeds
which lift their heads after the other
crops are laid by from going to seed.
In view Of the fact that the common
weeds have a seed producing capacity
ranging all the way from 10000 to
100000 each, this phase. Of the care Of
the garden ought not to- be neglected.
A keeping down of the late weeds not
only makes the care. Of the garden
more agreeable and satisfactory, but
greatly lessons the. amount Of work
which will be needed in q subsequent
season.

AN EVENING SKY.

furnished q magnificent spectacle for
many observers following light show
or Of a month ago. The setting sun,
shining through rain falling from g.
misty, vaporous cloud overhead, threw
a splendid double lridescent rainbow
athwart the clear dark blue vault OF
the eastern sky. Directly beneath and
entirely inclosed by the brilliant rain
bow arch were twin thunder clouds,
which reared their snow white heads
in transient, disappearing grandeur
Could an artist have caught the pic
ture in all it's radiance and beauty and
transferred it to a living canvas J. it
might be called unnatural by those
who beheEd at. but it would have been
a masterstroke that would have fixed
his name for generations. True, not
many can visit the famous art gal
leries of the world, but all can keep
ewes open for the beauties of the nat
ural world, for rosy dawns and golden
sunsets, which the great Master Artist
of the universe paints for all with won
drous, lavish hand.
