HAPPINESS FOUND IN WORK
Labor Also 10 Great Builder Of Char.
acter az Well az Of
Fortune.

One day we happened along where
there was woodworking bee, says
the Breeders Gazette. Neighbors
had turned out TO improve the high
way and TO make safe some danger
Gus stretches of much-traveled road.
Among the workers one was especial
ly notable for his energy and enthusi-
asm. He worked as though he en-
joyed It; his heart was in the en-
deavor and he shoveled earth, rolled
rocks and laid on gravel with cheerful
enthusiasm.
Another man was a laggard, who
sat often watching the workers, Offer
ing them advice more in raillery than
in spirit of desire to aid. Here is
what we were told:
See that man who works so hard?
He does not need to work. He start
ed thirty years ago with his two
hands, his head, an old gray mare and
fifty acres of poor land. Today he
owns numbers of farms, besides inter-
est in all sorts of enterprises. He Is
a good citizen, always public-spirited
and ready to help. That fellow sit
ting on the fence? Well, he has never
yet been on the township as public
burden, but that is the best / can say
of him. Work and he fell out many
long day ago."
1t is not so hard TO guess which
of these two men spent that day the
happier hours, who spends year after
year the happier hours. Work builds
men as we'll as fortunes.

Strendth Of EIv

An Englishman has made many ex.
periments with various insects, such
as caterpillars, fleas, butterflies and
flies, which show how extraordinarily
strong these insects are.
A bluebottle fly weighing 1928 of an
ounce was hitched by thread to a
tiny wagon and drew a total weight
OF little over six ounces, or practic-
ally 10 times It's own weight. A
caterpillar harnessed in similar man.
ner pulled rs times its own weight.
A strong man with a like equip
ment Of large size can at most move
but ten times his own weight.

Tho Fret Patent on Matohes.

Before 1888, when wooden matches
with phosphorus were made in Vienna,
people were dependent upon flint and
steel to secure a light. The first pat
ent for phosphorus match in the
United States was taken out in 1896
by A. d. Philips Of Springfield, Mass.
For many years people refused to use
them, but by 1S45 the Ill smelling aud
clumsyeeld finder boxes were generally
discarded and are preserved, like snuff
boxes, as curiosities.

GENEROSITY IN WAR TIMES
Some Historical Instances Are on
Record, Though They Are
Not Numerous.

Instances of historical generosit,
are rare indeed. OF the few of rec
ord the following may be briefly men
toned: After the defeat of Pompey's
army at Pharsalia julius Caesar, in
stead Of ordering a general massacre
or enslaving of the conquered, issued
an order according to every man of
his own forces the privilege nf ran.
soming one of the enemy 1t was thus
that julius made himself Caesar.
After the fall of La Rochelle the
English knights taken prisoners and
unable to ransom themselves, were
sent under a flag of truce home to
England and there set free. The Eng
lish, not to be outdone, chivalrously
restored to the French an equal num-
Der Of captive knights From this in
cidsnt came the custom of exchange
OF prisoners, so greatly ameliorating
wars horrors.
The exchange of kindly courtesies
between Grant and Lee after Ap-
pomattox furnishes an American In.
stance Of the practical value of gen.
erous actions.
And another deserves recording:

a Curious Needle,

A curious needle was once in the
possession of Queen Victoria. 1t was
made at the celebrated needle factory
at Redditch and represents the column
Of Trajan in miniature.
This Roman column is adorned with
numerous scenes in sculpture, and on

queen on her visit to the famous fac

THE STRANGER ON THE
LAND.

: A new farmer in any region is
. handicapped for the first season
: or two. Unless he has Travelled
. enough to know the wide varia-
: ton of details In farming and
. how to watch for them he will
: make mistakes on matters that
seem very simple TO old residents.
: If he is inclined to be independ-
. ent Of local custom and of the
: advice of his neighbors he runs
even greater chances Of loss.
The man from the south who
. moves to a northern state, with
its shorter growing season, may
. not realize the Importance of
. getting his crops in promptly,
. with the result that he is pinched
by frost in the fall. The type Of
. soil may be strange to him; con-
. ditions of drought or food may
: be unknown to him; even live
stock are influenced by location.
: If the new farmer hasn't time
. to study these details for a sea-
: son before he comes to the re-
. gion he would best stick to the
; methods of the majority of good
farmers in the neighborhoOd-

PURCHASING POWER
OF FARMERS

The purchasing power of the farm
er depends not only upon the money
value of what he produces, but also
upon the money value of what he
buys. From 1899 to 1909 Census
years) the money value of acre of
the farmers crops increased 72.7 per
cent, but in the same period the mon
ey value Of the articles usually pur-
chased by the farmers had increased
12.1 per cent; consequently; as re-
suit of the greater increase in the
price of what a farmer sold than in
the qrise of what he bought, the net
increase in the purchasing power of
the produce of acre was 81 per cent;
that is. acre Of the farmers crop in
1909 could buy 81 per cent more of
the articles usually bought by farm
ers than in 1892
Upon the basis Of the purchasing
power of the value Of 1 acre of pro-
duce, the year 1909 stands as the most
prosperous for the farmers of the
past SO years 70 which there are rec
ords.
