Why From Adams Rib.

Why Eve was made from the
rib of Adam has been explained
by witty sage of old. If she
had been created from his mouth,
she would have talked too much;
if from his feet, she would have
gone about too much; if from his
ears, she would have listened too
readily; but she was made from
a rib, which is near the heart, to
show that she must always be
dear to man.
An English preacher in the
sevnteenth century spoke in
similar fashion when he said,
with the text, ITO be or not to
be" that woman should be like
and unlike three things. She
should be like a snail, always
keep within her own house; but
not like snail, to carry all she
had on her back. She should be
like an echo, to speak when she
was spoken to; but not like an
echo, always to have the last
word. She should be like town
clock, always keep time and
regularity; but not like a town
clock, to speak so loud that all
the town might hear her.

Boys and girls do not enter

The commandment which bids

When Not to prune.

Do not choose the dormant sea-
son to cut back trees that are
growing too fast to be fruitful; it
will only make them grow the
faster in the spring. Wait till
they are in full flush of growth
in May or June if you want to
drive their surplus energies into
fruit buds. Be sure to carry a
paint pot along with the primers
and whenever a limb as much as
inch in diameter is cut off, cover
the wound with oil and white
lead to keep out dampness and
the entrance of fungi spores that
will produce rot. In the spring
this cover is not so necessary, for
as soon as growth begins the
trees will begin to: cover it's
wounds with new wood that will
creep over it from all sides. Elk.

Forget it.

If you would increase your
happiness and prolong your life,
forget your neighbours faults.
Forget the SANDER you have
heard. Forget the temptations.
Forget peculiarities of your
friends, and only remember the
good points which make you
fond of them. Forget all per-
sOnal quarrels or histories you
may have heard by accident.
Blot out as far as possible all the
disagreeables of life: they will
come, but they will grow larger
when you remember them, and
the constant thought of the acts
of meanness will only tend to
make you more familier with
them. Obliterate everything
disagreeable from yesterday
start out with a clean slate fol-
todary and write on it only lovely
things.

Good Advice to Governor Wilson

Instead of Gov. Wilson advo-
eating a revision of Kentucky's
tax laws so as to increase the
revenue in the State Ire asury,
if he would stay at home and try
to earn his own salary, and if
Lieut.. Cox was not compelled to
fill the Governors office about
half the time and draw from the
State Treasury a salary nearly
equal to Wilson, there might
not be so much need of increas-
ing our taxes.
When the Lieutenant Gov
errors fills the chief executives

salary the Governor would draw.

A Few Reflections.

Every girl thinks she should
marry a man who makes at least
ten times as much as her father.
No man has a right to spend
money on beer, and then claim
that times are SO hard he cannot
pay his grocery and meat bills.
When a man steals money
from another man he absconds,
but when money is stolen from
the people he doesn't have to run
off.
We are not a pessimist; but Of
late years it does seem that the
tornado has cut in ahead of the
swallow as harbinger of
spring.
A man is always willing to
refer to the temptations he re-
sisted, but gets mad if he is re-
minded of the temptations to
which he succumbed.
Don't cram your opinions down
the threats Of other people; some
of the opinions which seem i'm
portant to you are very object
ionable to others.
Suggested as daily prayer of
gratitude for some fortunate
men: "And l wish to give
thanks, most of all, because my
wife is good manager. :"
There is rich sound to the
word. banquet Suggesting
terrapin, quail, venison, cham
payne, sparkling wit, and that
sort of thing. But it really
means cold ham. ice water and
dull speeches.

Afraid to Take Chances.

Many a man fails because he
does not dare to take risks, to
take the initiative.
When do you expect to do any
thing distinctive in life? When
do you expect to get out of the
ranks of mediocrity? The men
who do original things are fear
less. There is a lot of dare in
their makeup, a great deal OF
holiness. They are not afraid
to take chances, to shoulder re-
sponsibility, to endure inconveni-
ence and privation.
There never was a time when
the quality of courage was SO
absolutely indispensable in the
business as it is to-day. 1t does
not matter how many success
qualities you possess, young man
if you lack courage you will
never get anywhere. Not even
honesty or perseverance will take
it's place. There is no substitute
for courage.
1t does not matter how well
educated you may be, or how
good a training you may have
had for your vocation, if you are
a hesitator if you lack that cour-
age which dares to risk all on
your judgment, you will never
get above mediocrity.
The men who stand at the top
of their line of endeavor stand
there because they have the
courage of their convictions.
They had the courage to climb,
had the nerve to undertake even
against the advice Of others. :

Notes on Bee Culture.

Now for spring.
Don't tolerate a leaky cover.
Success does not come without
an effort.
There are no ironclad rules in
Bookkeeping.
You should read one or more
good books on bees.
One succeeds best in one way
and another in another.
We consider the A. B. G.. of
Bee Culture the best book on
bees.
One must be a thinker as we'll
as worker to succeed with bees.
Think what you are doing and
do it right, and you'll succeed.
The new pure food law will be
some help to the bee keeper.
You can not do without a good
smoker for the cost of one dollar.
The one and one-half story
hive for comb honey is the best
hive for one who is raising comb
honey for market.
All small tools used in the
apiary should have a red string
tied to them so they can be east
ly found if lost in the grass.
One should wear light clothing
in the apiary. Dark clothing has
tendency to irritate the bees
and cause them to. sting you.
Economy in the bee business is
necessary. Every item saved
helps to increase the profits.
The pound foolish, penny wise
fellow does without improved
hives and fixtures that make
work with bees more pleasant
and profitable.

In Memory Of Mrs. Louisa Stapp.

A loved one from us gone
But where alas! is she now,
No night is there, no sorrow,
To darken her snow white brow.
Oh! may her soul mount to. heaven
straight way
When free from mortal bonds of earth
and sin,
And may no angel guard the heavenly
gateway,
But Christ Himself, unbar and let her in
She was. tender flower
To us priceless worth,
Ere swift winged angels
Bore her away from this sad earth.
Away from ones who loved her,
AS but these hearts could know
Which beat for her so wildly,
Only a few short weeks ago.
We watched the tear-drops one by one,
That trembled in their eyes,
And in thy tender strains portrays
Sad thought we all have known.
What changes. time has brought since
then,s
How many friends have gone,
To that bright land where angels dwell.
While we're left all alone.
God is love, his mercy brightens
All the paths in which we move,
Bliss He grants, and woe He lightens,
God is light, and God is love.
Rise and shine, star of salvation,
Spread thy beams Ger all the earth
Til each distant land and nation
Owns and speaks thy matchless worth.
There is place. we know not where,
A Time we know not when,
That marks the destiny of men
To glory or dispair.
We these words our bleeding hearts
Would to thee its griefs impart
Hush my heart, why thus complain,
Thou must too thy woes contain.
Yet Oh! we do not murmur,
For tho, the path seems hard
We feel the humble servant
Is safely with her Lord.
There is future, o! thank God,
Of life this is so small apart,
Tis but to dust beneath the sod
But there, up there It's heart to heart.
The ones bereft of parents are seven,
With loved ones for them to care.
Til the blessed Saviour will call them his
own
And the gates of heaven ajar.
Our hope, our heaven, our trust must
be,
Our gentle guide in following thee,
Well turn to rest and dream no more
When the Savior calls us to the other
shore.

THE UNMARRIED WOMAN !;

Carolyn Shipman, in the North
American Review, contributes read
able article on t'The Anomalous Posi-
ton of the Unmarried Woman" Mrs.
Shipman defines the status of the UNI
married woman and goes on to say:
Nothing is more painful and hard
to bear for a sensitive woman than
the kind of loneliness that may over
take her at any turn if she is living
a detached life. Married women with
family cares or protected women
with too much leisure often envy the
independent life of the self-support-
ing woman. But they see only the
pleasant side. There is another; and
the envied one would, more often
than most people know, exchange lots
with the envier. After woman has
passed her thirtieth year, she is very
likely to tire Of independence and to
wish for guidance and advice. The
argument that she is as free as a
man. has been satisfactorily proved
to be sophistry. She learns that she
is half man and half woman, deprived
Of the advantages of a wife, with the
burdens of man, but not his privi-
leges. For example, if she is restless
and lonely at night, she cannot go to
the play in solitary fashion, like a.
man; she might do so in Boston, but
she could not do so in New York and
feel quite comfortable, if she were
young. She must sit at home and try
to divert her mind if no companion
ship is available. She has not even
mans solace Of cigar and stroll.
Propriety forbids solitary walks for
ladies after dark"

But there are no longer the same

makes it ever on the alert to pene-
trate where it is least expected.
Hence, no matter where he turns. the
cowboy finds that the agencies that
have been putting him out of BUSH
ness are actively at work.
The pacifcation Of the Indians is
another of these factors. Formerly
the cowboy alone could protect the
rancher and his family from the red
skins. Uncle Sans soldiers were all
right in the case Of a considerable up-
rising when there came possibilities of
pitched battles. But during large
part of the time the settler could, not
have troops at his elbow. To save
himself from marauding bands of In
dams he needed to have ever near, in
his own employ, in fact, intrepid men
who would know how to deal with

river out of it.
ITO do this he must put in lot Of
work before he begins to pillow. He
begins by constructing three ponds.
The first of these little ponds is for
fltering the water The second is for
Matching the spawn. The third is for
feeding the young fish. It is an in
teresting and simple process, and with
little labor 100000 young salmon
may be Matched. About seventy-fve
per cent. of these will return from
the sea to their natal river the next
year, and the fish farmer then has a
salmon stream that he can rent out
for $3.50 mile. DESERVING the three
little ponds, he now plows the river.
He plows parallel burrows in an
