It ought not to be necessary for any man in our state to have to remove from his home on the farm to secure better educational advantages for his children. A good system offs chools in the ru- ral districts will help immensely in solving the problem of developing the agricultural interests of the state.

He hated hypocrisy and sham and loved the truth so well that all the acts of his life were as an open book. He will ever remain the in spiration and the pride of Scotch men whenever they read his poems or his songs

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

A cloth dipped in ammonia will of | ten remove the stains from the collar of an overcoat.
 Whip cream in a pitcher instead of bowl, to do it in half the time and without spattering.
 Paraffine rubbed on the heels of stockings will cause them to last much longer without wearing out.
 Orange fritters are as delicious an accompaniment to broiIed or fried ham as apple sauce to spare rib. Dates stuffed with peanut butter and then rolled in sugar are a pleasing change from dates stuffed with nuts. If a curtain or portiere pole is rub bed with hard soap before being put up. the draperies will slip on easily. Dates and figs cut in small pieces and served with plenty of sugar make a tasty accompaniment to dish of rice boiled in milk.
 Cheese may be kept soft and good for long time if wrapped in cloth wrung out in vinegar and then wrap ped again in a dry cloth. Whole wheat or brown bread cut ln- to very thin slices and spread with un- saIted butter is tasty served with cys- ters on the half shell. Strange as it may seem, beer may be kept for months if immersed in sour milk. The tactic acid destroys the germs of justification. Scraps of toi'et soap should be sav- ed; and when half a cupful or so Is on hand it is good plan to make the scraps into a soap jelly.
 Stick a pin through the cork of every bottle that contains poison, and this may save tragic mista kes when seeking medicine in the dark.
 Some of the most attractive glass mustard jars come provided with glass spoons Many prefer these to silver, as they will not tarnish.
 Potato balls which are sauted in butter after being boiled are delicious. They should be served with a gener- ous sprinkIing of minced parsley.

 Grease on a kitchen floor can be softened by pouring kerosene over it teen minutes; then scrub with soda water.
 Paint and varnish can be easily re- moved from the hands by first rubbing well into them some grease or lard; then washing with soap and water.
 Stale macaroons, which can be bought cheap at the bakers, make the tastiest addition to buildings and GUS tards if pulverized and sprink,ed over the top.
 A frying basket should be dipped in boiling water or heated in the oven before being put in the hot fat It will thus not reduce the temperature of the lard
 when scrambled eggs are served. make a tomato sauce, adding to it a few Snanish peppers, chopped fine. This will he a delicious accompaniment to the eggs.
