Human Junk.
Farmer.

The man who advertises for a
wife, in our opinion, deserves to
have something unloaded on him
that will disturb his peace of mind
for the remainder of his days.
And many times he has. Marri-
age is sacrament, instituted by
God, and He never intended that a
wife should be got through the
public press. Besides, it seems to
us, that it's only a "lobster" who
would overlook counting q sweet
girl for a year or so, and then max
ing her happy wife. Advertising
for a life's partner is what 1--WE in
surance men class as extra hazard
Gus, and, it frequently brings to
the advertiser a lot of human junk,
which had long ago been consign-
ed to the scrapheap.--N. .. Plea
yune.

The cruel wrong of locking up
the bread winner of the family be-
cause he cannot pay fine, or of
taking all the money the family
can raise In case the fine is paid,
has just been illustrated in st.
Louis. Death of the man soon
after his return from the work
house has revealed the absolute
destitution of the wife-not a
crumb to eat or a coal to burn, and
scarcely stick of furniture in the
house. The reason for the fine
and Imprisonment is immaterial,
although in this case it was abuse
to the wife. The material point
is that the filming or imprisoning
of the father and husband always
falls the most severely upon the
children and wife in its consequent
ces, says the Woman's National
Daily, of st. Louis.
Neither the vindication of the
majesty of the law nor the protec-
ton of society requires the perpe-
tration by legal process of SO griev-
GUS wrong. The old plan of
whipping wifebeaters and then
sending them home to behave and
support their families was more
fruitful of good, but it is idle to
talk of restoring if. The whipping
post has gone for good from our
penal system. Payment of wages
to persons sent to Jail, and requir-
ing them to work at some good
suitable occupation to earn the
money, is the remedy for the evil.
Such wages should be paid to the
dependent ones and not the pris-
oner, except when there are no de-
pendent ones, and then they should
constitute a fund to give him a
new start in life when he is dis
charged. Filming man whose
families need every dollar he can
earn, is an illogical and absurd op.
precision of the innocent poor and
should be abandoned. In seeking
to punish the guilty We should be
careful not to punish the innocent
more.

Don't Set Out Seeding Trees.

Gan agent tells me that the only
way to get long-lived trees is to
plant seedlings, that the budded OF
grated trees fail soon and gum,
and the gum runs down on the
roots and kills them" Planting
Seeding trees will result in all
sorts of fruit, and most of it very
inferior. When a man plants an
orchard of peaches or apples, OF
any other sort of fruit, he wants
to know what he will get, and the
only way to get the best sorts is
to plant budded or grated trees.
A peach tree gums beause there
are borers in the roots, and there
will be as many in a Seeding tree
as in a budded one, and, of course,
they will kill the roots if not taken
out. Any man that tries to sell
you Seeding trees is a fraud and
does not know anything about
fruit culture.-W. F. Massey, in
Starkville Miss Progressive
Farmer.

Do Our Youths Waste Their Time?

The world is travelling at rapid
rate. The man who doesn't know
how to cash his time fluids il hard
to accommodate his needs. The
world admits that the best time to
impress an idea upon the mind is
while its possessor is young.
There was time when boy
had plenty of time to start down
the wrong road, stop, retrace his
steps, and then make good. That
time has almost, if not altogether
gone. The boy who starts wrong
finds it almost impossible to make
a success after getting back on
the right plane. This makes it
very important that we consider
carefully the question:: care we
teaching our youths to waste their
time?"
We do not believe that young
people can be old people at the
beginning, yet there are many
games our young people engage IN
that have no permanent value and
there are other games engaged in
that may be valuable in one line
only. A young man engaging 10
