Treatment Of Hardwood

In these days OF polished wood

possible. even with frequent polishing.
TO keep the wood from getting black.
This Is because the dust and dirt

only buries It deeper.
A good scrubbing with soap powder
every month will remove the dirt, and
IL may be scrubbed Just as energet.

Tribute to Rev. G. NJ. Edgar.

The following tribute to the life
and works of the Rev. G. M. Edgar,
for many years resident of Hillsbofo
and who was pastor of many different
Methodist Churches In this county, Is
clipped from the Western Christian
Advocate:
The Rev. G. M. Edgar, of the Gin
cinnati Conference, died March 15,
1908, in the eighty-frst year of his
age, which occurred from heart failure
while on a visit at the home of the
writer near Winchester, Ohio he
was man of superior mental endow-
ments, comprehensive, analytical,
logical and retentive. He was an in
dependent thinker, and accepted no
theory or doctrine which did not ac-
cord with reason and justice as re-
vealed In nature and sanctioned by
the Book of Truth Early in his min
istry he mastered our standard auth
ors-Wesley, Fletcher, Clarke, Wat
son and others-and by mental ANAL
gamation rendered their thoughts his
own yet the Bible Was his main Book.
he was a great lover of the sciences
and classics, and spent his long life in
ardent search for truth. He kept in
touch with the news of the day, and
paid much attention to important
current events. The world seemed to
be photographed upon his brain, and
he knew the commercial, political,
educational, ethical and religious con-
dition of every nation on the globe,
which rendered his conversation and
discourses highly interesting and In
structive. AS preacher he had few
equals, he laid his premises deep,
broad and distinct, and his arguments
and illustrations we're on the line of
sequence. His sermons were delivered
with deep unction and spiritual power,
which caused the hardest heart to ex-
claim, 30, that 1 knew where might
find Him |" AS pastor and discipli-
marian, he was kind, faithful and
efficient, as was manifest by his serv-
ing number of charges second full
term. Our Conference Minutes show
that in numbers added to the church
and money collected for benevolences,
as Well as money raised for church i'm
provement, he stood among the most
efficient In the Conference. In COM
mon with our race, he had his faults,
but his superior talents, extensive
knowledge, fixed purposes of right on
all moral questions, freedom from
cant, egotism, vanity and everything
unmanly, and with spirit of meek
ness and unswerving devotion to God
as we'll as his ardent zeal in lifting a
ruined world in touch with the bleed
ing cross, he was not only admired,
but loved by the good and true
s. W. Edmiston.

New Record In Talking.

A new, long talking record was es.
tablished by Senator Robert NJ. La.
Toilette, of Wisconsin, last week
when in an attempt to talk the Emer.
gency Currency Bill to death, he
spoke for lS hours and % minutes.
Previous to this Senator Allen, of
Nebraska, had held the record hav.
ing spoken Ia hours in an effort to
kill bill in the senate.
Senator LaFolette occupied a pc.
culiar position at this time and a
number of things makes his effort
one of the most wonderful tests of
endurance ever undergone by any
man He was practically without
support in his effort to defeat the
bill, was just recovering from an Ill.
ness and the weather was fearfully
hot.
he had raw eggs and milk prepar.
ed and placed on his desk which, with
an occasional sandwich, constituted
his only nourishment during his talk
against time.
Every obstruction known to the best
parlimentarlans of the country was
placed in his way, he not even being
allowed to have his secretary watch
to see that there was a quorum pres
ten at all times. His courage and
endurance, however, gained him the
respect and admiration of his bitter
est opponents, although they never
let up in their efforts to defeat him.
While his effort was without avail
the bill being passed, his effort stamps
him as man of great courage and
wonderful endurance and we all
now that Gall the world loves a
fighter"

At a Chinese Funeral.

The London Saturday Journal, in de-
scribing the weird rites at Chinese
funeral, remarks that in the usual
topsy turvy way Of the Orient the
Chinaman enjoys himself even at OBJ.
sequies. The Journal adds: "The cof-
fin is placed beside the grave and food
placed upon 1t. A white rooster, alive
or dead, is usually there, to lure the
spirit of the man who has died abroad
back to the home of his fathers
Whisky and tea and a bowl Of rice
with chopsticks are there, so that the
corpse may not starve In the next
world. Gin and tea are then sprinkled
over the coffin, and the bottles thrown
away. The mourners stand around
laughing, enjoying the fun. The coffin
is lowered, candles are lit. a suit OF
paper clothes is burned, and some pa
per money. Thus the corpse is as
sured OF clothes in the next world, and
pocket money to put In them"

SOCIAL LAW THAT is ADAMANT.
impossible to Be Absent-MInded and
Make a Success.

There are some rules for social sue
cess that It is wholly impossible to
ignore nowadays.
II is the fashion to say everyone is
bad-mannered. and, alas. II is quite
possible to be atrociously rude In
some ways, and yet be popular. but
there are one or two things one cannot
do with any hope Of achieving social
distinction or even being merely tol.
Grated. These things are hidden.
however, from those who fondly imag
Inc they can initiate all the faults OF
society with impunity.
It is the infringement OF ignorance
OF these esoteric bylaws which be
tray the outsider" One such decree
for example, is that in no circum
stances whatever Is absent-minded
ness permissible. One may leave
notes unanswered. but one must not
be absentminded. This is a distinc
tion with a difference.

First Aid to Farmers.

A farmer in Ohio wrote to the de-
partment of agriculture that he had
struggled for 20 years on an 80-acre
farm heavily mortgaged but had been
unable to reduce his debt or rise above
poverty that made the bringing up
Of his family humiliation.
He asked If there was any hope for
him upon the farm or II he might as
we'll give up the fight. The depart
ment requested that he make a de-
tailed report Of his farm and its soils
and upon this It based plan OF farm
ing which he was recommended to
follow to the letter. According to a
writer In the World To-Day, there
was a profit the first year of $4,000.
and the department believes that ul-
timately the despised 80 acres can be
made to yield $1,000 a year.
