The Funeral SPONGE.

'If you attend a Persian funeral they
hand you at the door a small. fine
sponge" The speaker, a popular un-
dertaker, smiled.
1T Is amusing to think Of" he said.
Imagine it-by means Of these sponges
all the mourners' tears are collected
and preserved in tiny vases of crystal.
They are used afterward as medicine.
for they are thought to have wonder
full healing power. During the serv-
ice each mourner keeps his sponge
ready, and every tear that wells into
his eye Is sopped up before 1t has a
chance to escape. The undertaken tip
toes politely about, he extends tenta-
lively the crystal vase, and those who
have anything to add to Its contents
squeeze their sponges solemnly there
in. Then, with bow of acknowledge
ment the undertaken tiptoes on his
way, extending the vase politely, now
to the right, now to the left, murmur-
ing in his gentle and soothing voice:
"'Have you shed, sir? Madam, have
you shed?"

Got the Best of Carlyle.

The Rev. Thomas Alexander, a Pres
byterian minister. long resident in
Chelsea and well known as a brother
Scot, was most anxious to know Car
lyle. but had no opportunity of getting
an introduction to him. One day in
the Kings road he saw Carlyle COM
ing in his direction and took advan-
tage Of the opportunity by going up to
the sage and saying, "Thomas Carlyle.
believer Carlyle's reply was, 'Tom

good friends, and later Mr.. Alexander
wrote to Carlyle for a subscription to-
ward school building fund. and Car
lyle wrote back a refusal in doggerel,
whereupon Mr.. Alexander replied that
IL he did not send him f5 he would sell
his poetry to a collector or publish it.
The f5 was at once forthcoming.

The Voice Of Fame,

An American author of some note
was passing a summer in New Hamp-
shire. One day he received word that
distinguished Englishman was visit
ing in the country town and would like
to call upon the author, of whom, he
added in bis note requesting an audi
ence, he had heard.
Somewhat f1attered, the author Won
dered to himself who had spoken to
the distinguished Englishman about
him.
"Some Oxford dignitary doubtless"
he reflected pleasantly. cor possibly
some London publisher or critic" and
he awaited the strangers arrival with
interest.

tured after the usual greetings had
been spoken. "Well, that is odd.

PAYING Visits In Australia.

In Australia q months visit to a
country house would be nothing. Two
months-three months-six months-as
long as you like would not be consider
ed too long. other things being equal.
Nobody thinks of dates. To write and
invite you from the 18th to the 30th
would be rude. You are asked to stay
as long as you like. Or else you ask
yourself to stay as long as you like. Or
even-to face all the contingencies
you neither ask nor are asked. You
simply go. Aud. having arrived, you
remain for the one unfailing commodi-
ty Of an Australian country house is
welcome. Everything else may give
out. If you stay long enough there is
sure to be a time when there are no
servants, no milk, no vegetables, no
meat but mutton, or even no water.
but the thoughts Of guests going away
will never enter the minds o. the host
and hostess. Good nature, gayety, in
formality-these are the leading notes
Of life in every Australian country
house.-London Globe.

Disp atci1ing Trains BY Telephone.

The Detroit-Bay City division OF
the Michigan Central railroad has
departed from the old fashioned
method of dispatching trains by
telegraph for the more modern way
of doing the business by telephone
Saturday the last of the many phones
in the local offices of the division
were installed, while the task of adj
justing the wires has been completed
orators simply switched from their
clicking instruments to the phone
and the ushering In of the telephone
was done.
The telephone will not altogether
displace the telegraph instrument.
The old apparatus will still hold its
place on the division, but will be re-
sorted to for dispaching trains only
when the exigency arises. In case of
break down of the telephone sys-
tenn the telegraph lines will be avail
able, so the railroad is adequately
guarded against any emergency.
The Detroit-Bay City branch is
the second of the various Michigan
Central lines to be won over by the
phone. About a month ago the
change to the modern way of dis
patching trains was made on the De-
troit-Jackson division, and in a
short while it is expected that other
divisions will be using the phone
The Michigan Central is the first
to bring the phone into service in
this state. In the east the New York
Central lines in New York state are
using the phone system with marve-
lous results, while in the west the
Burlington road is finding it very
advantageous and far superior to the
telegraph. 1t is claimed that the
telephone is four or five times as
fast for interrogatory communica-
ton

The Leading Agricultural journal

The Leading Agricultural journal.
Among agricultural journals there is
one that every farmer keeping cows
should not neglect to subscribe for. We
refer to Hoard's Dairyman. 1t is q
journal that is broad in its scope, being
unlike any other agricultural journal in
the thorough and practical manner in
which it deals with all farm problems
that concern the farmer keeping cows.
This journal has lively interest and
practical knowledge of all things about
the farm which plainly shows that it's
editors are daily in the farm atmosphere
and confronted with the same question
to solve in the practical handling of a
farm that are before every farmer hand
ling cows. From reading the paper we
learn that it has its own dairy farm of
200 acres, that is stocked with herd of
good dairy cows, and the whole man
agement of this farm is directly under
the editorial supervision. This keeps
the editors in touch with farm condi-
tions 80 that they know the subjects
that the farmer wants discussed and
they know what they are talking about
when they discussed them. In dozens
of ways Hoard's Dairyman will appeal
to one as coming closer to farm life and
farm business than any other Journal
we have seen. It gets right up close to
you and talks good hard farm sense,
about the soils and crops and how best
to handle them; talks about the cows
and their breeding, and gives special
attention to feeds and feeding. 1t does
not have prejudice for some one breed
but talks for the dairy COW wherever
she is found; talks about the barn and
its arrangement and in fact gives
fund of good sound practical informa.
ton on questions of interest to the
farmer who keeps cows, few or many.
Hoard's Dairyman tells you the things
you want to know in a way that will
interest you. We notice it has no
fashion plates, puzzles or cheap stories
it is all business It is published at
Fort Atkinson, Wis, and has stood as
the dairy authority Of the country for
many years. There are many in this
community that will want to take this
journal, 30 we have secured a clubbing
rate that enables us to offer years
subscription to The TINES and Hoard's
Dairyman both for $3.50. Regular sub.
scription price Of Hoard's Dairymsn is
d. 90 per year. II you desire sample
