MansfieId,s Rebuke.

A group of theatrical men were talk
ing in New York about the late Rich
ard Mansfield.
"Mr. Mansfield" said one, was de-
lightful humoroist, splendid racon-
teur in society, but at the same time
he had certain proper and becoming
sense of his own dignity, and 1t never
paid to be unduly familiar with, him.
''He was, as we all know, rather
bald. He resented, from BARRIERS, 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 loud, jovial,
familiar voice: Ind.
Hello, Dick. How are you? Every
time / see you, you get balder and
balder.' rf[
Mansfield drew himself up. He
sneered at the other.
"'Hello,' he said. I don't know who
you are, but every time l see you you
get ruder and ruder.'"

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.
lists 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 progres.

TO THE FARMER.RoY.

MY. boy, the farm is all right. Some
times yoG MAY feel that Its enyirons,
are too narrow for you, its life too
much of 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 9TH
ers 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 craftsmanship;
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

the most independent Of all workers.
He is sure to receive q greater re-
ward for his 1abors, is his own man.
ager, and II he will strive diligently
can aspire to place in the public es-
innate that few can attain in the large
towns.
OF course there are times when you
think there is almost an unbearable
duIlness 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 plow, 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-'
ton? How would you like to stand
behind the dry goods or grocery coun-
ter from morning to night for the
small wages that the city clerk re.
.ceives? Year after year, the laborer
lives In cheap boarding houses and
| rarely save sufficient to engage in
business. His Is mere subsistence,
and constant struggle. The best
| years of life are wasted in making
money for others, while the indus
trious farmer is working for himself,
4 saving money year after year, and
| when the time for rest comes it en-.
ables him to take 1t.
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. or late years
large element Of workers from cit;
len are looking toward the farms for
employment. They realize that the
farm offers more permanency of occu,
patton and greater independence, than
i like efforts in the city. can possibly
afford. Before you concentrate your
attention on employment in city or
town, weigh every matter WELL and
then act according to what reason die
tates. You will be very likely to 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

A SOURCE OF DISEASE.
beware the Man Who Blows smoke
Through His NOstrils.

A popular practice of many smokers
consists in discharging the smoke in
hailed. especially from cigarettes,
through the nostrils. This is even
considered by some to be essential to
the full enjoyment OF the flavor of the
tobacco.
The London Lancet. willie acknow-
edging that perhaps under ordinary
circumstances no harm is done to the
smoker save to his sense of smell. has
sounded note Of warning against the
habit as a possible dissemination of dis
ease. Hay fever and other annoying
complaints have been spread through
unsuspecting households by the un-
thinking visitor who habitually blew
smoke through his nose.
The surface traversed by the tobacco
smoke before issuing from the nose. it
is remarked by the Lancet, is mois-
tened with the natural secretion of the
mucous membrane lining it. and this
secretion is mingled with the fluid dis
charged from the conjunctival sac pro-
tecting the eyes. 1t therefore contains
numerous micro organisms. which,
floating in the air. have become attach
ed to the moist and stick surface OF
the conjupctiva. us well as those which
pass over the surface Of the nasal
membrane. AS Tyndall long ago show
eel. germs are completely filtered off
from the air inhaled by the extensive
and irregular surfaces presented by
the turbinal bones. These germs are
carried into the air by the man who
blows smoke through his nostrils.
