Some of Wesley's Health Ideas.

John Wesley, the founder of Meth
odism, who thought on many SUBJ
jects besides religion, gave some at
tention to certain rules of health. He
laid stress on cold baths. fresh air
and abstinence from "strong, es-
pecially spirituous liquors." as neces-
sary to health and realized that "a
quiet, peaceful mind is the most pow
eTful of all the means of health and
long life"
His cure for badness will hardly
commend itself to-day. "To cure
badness" he writes. rub the part
with onions until 1t is red. rub 1t
afterward with honey or wash it with
a decoction of lockwood or electriiy

he recommends Ito drink whey and
eat raisins;" also Ito keep a roll OF

Woman Who Didn't Know Money.

A sick nurse in Vienna hospital
administered by nuns was observed
burning up a bunch of paper money
which she had found in the bed of .
deceased patient.
She thought the bank notes were
rubbish, and it took the authority of
the mother superior to convince her
that the rubbish represented a small
fortune.
Subsequently it turned out that the
sister, who had lived in the nunnery
since her third year never went out
side and had nothing to do with the
administration or with worldly things
whatsoever, had never heard OF the
existence or use OF money in any
shape or form.-Boston Post.

Nutgrass-To Destroy.

j. H. A, Tennille, Gal have a
piece Of land that is covered with
nutgrass. Can you tell me how to
kill it?
Answer-The secret of killing nut
grass is to plow (shallow) and har-
row the ground until it is put into
good mellow condition, and then plant
in oats or cowpeas (according to the
time Of year,, seeding and fertilizing

to have seeded to oats in February,

pounds of muriate of potash. If you
can get the seed in with a regular
small grain drill, so much the bet

the yield, however, by sowing the
seed continuously in tnree-foot rows
and cultivate two or three times.

soon as practicable turn under the

be cultivated, to be followed by an
other crop of oats to be sown in Oc-

The conditions under which 4
street lamp should prove its efficiency
are very different from those which
govern the indoor lamp. This was
brought out clearly in n recent ad-
dress before the New York Section of
the Illuminating Engineering Society
by DR.. Clayton H. Sharp. He pointed
out that while in the building it is
advantageous to have much of the
light of lamp pass upward and be
reflected by the ceiling, in the case OF
street lamp this would be a great
fault, for the vertical rays would be
lost. Only those rays that are cast
directly downward and horizontally
up and down the street can be util-
lied. For this reason he has devised
reflector consisting of pair of par
abolic mirrors arranged to throw the
rays in the direction of the street. so
that practically all of the light will
be used to best advantage. Thus. in
place of having the street lighted in
spots, as is now the case, a more
continuous illumination is provided

A PESSIMISTIC CAROL

A PESSIMISTIC CAROL.
A prudent life is hard to lead;
You think before you speak,
Determined that you will take heed,
With lowly look and meek.
And when at last you've told your mind
With wisdom sadly small
You wish, as critics harsh you find,
You hadn't thought a: all.
Though you select your path to climb.
As through the world you stray,
You're sure to wish full many time
You'd gone some other way.
In thrift you stoutly persevere,
And find. whate'e 'er you try,
The substitutes about as dear
As what you wished to buy.

The suit that has been filed by
George Little in which the promoters,

training quarters, and others interest

claim is adjusted, does not seem to
bother Johnson in the least.
Il am not worried about that" he
said. George Little knows that he
has not chance to beat me in that
fight and unless he slows down I will
do some talking, and then he will be
sorry about it."
On Saturday and Sunday afternoon,
Johnson announces, he will box four
rounds with Al Kaufman in addition
to going several rounds with his regu-

PionnerIs DaY.

Tolna, N. D., June 11.-A year ago
Tolna celebrated its first Pioneers
day. This little village, scarcely three
years old, and numbering only about
$50, entertained a holiday crowd OF
over 1000. From the time the Tolna
band opened the festivities in the
morning until the last tired dancer
had left the hall at night there was
hardly a moment unified with fea-

Pioneers day was such a success that
the people of Tolna have decided to
celebrate Pioneers day again this year
and you are most cordially invited to
be with us on the date set-Saturday,
