Better Society In Town.

Mrs. Ben says that she wants to get
into better society than the country
affords. They bought a $1,000 house In
town, and on the same block they will
have, as neighbors, saloon keeper and
butcher who whips his wife. They are
half block from livery stable and one
block from blacksmith shop, so guess
that society doings will be brisk around
there.
No chickens, no cow, no pig in the
pen, no garden, no truck patch, no wheat
in the mill, and as the boy said, INC
nothing" only 81 day. Now 81 day
is about 5000 year, holidays and Sun,
days left out, and Ben can not be sure ol
full 300 days. work in year. His wife
won't be able to sell $40 worth of butter
and $50 worth of poultry, as she die
last year, and buying flour at $3.50
barrel is a different thing from having
your own wheat and selling fifty bushels
more than you need for flour.-Farmsrs

ElintY Plant Covers.

When Sir Humphry Davy was . boy
about sixteen. little girl came to him
IN great excitement:
"Iumphry. do tell me my these two
pieces Of cane make u tiny spark OF
light when | rub them together"
Humphry was studious boy, who
spent hours In thinking out scientific
problems. He patted the child's curly
head and said:
"I do not know, dear. Let us see II
they really do make a light. and then
We will try to find out why"
Humphry soon found that the little
girl was right. The pieces OF cane II
rubbed together quickly did give a
tiny light. Then he set to work to find
out the reason, and after some time.
thanks to the observing powers OF his
little friend and his own kindness to
her in not impatiently telling her not
to worry" as so many might have
done, Uumphry Davy made the first
of his Interesting discoveries. Every
reed. cane and grass has an outer skin
of dinty stuff, which protects the In
side from insects and also helps the
frail looking leaves to stand upright.
