Convenient * ..Joi.u.iv mid Stand. The most convenient* valuable, and novel business* table, ot desk calendar for 1889, is the Columbia Bicycle Calendar and Stand issued by the Pope M'fg .Co., of Boston, Mass. The calendar proper is in the form of a pad containing 365 leaves, one for each day jn tho ye&r, to be torn off daily. Tho leaves are 5^x2$ inches, a portion of oach loft blank for mem oranda, and as the leaves are not pasted, but aewed at tho ends, any mitire leaf) as well as the memoran dum blank, can bo oxposed whenover desired. Tho pad rests upon a porta ble stand, which takes up very little room, and when placed upon tho desk or writing tabie, the entiro sur face of the date leaf is brought directly, and left constantly, before the eye, furnishing date and mem oranda, impossible to bo overlooked. The/upper portion of the stand is made of pressed pulp, with the word "Columbia" in raised letters at the top, tho whole being handsomely gilded, and practioally indestructible. Good AdvUc.

Way to Measure An Acre. Few farmers know the size of their fields or how many aores they contain. A field of the writer's, before it came into his possession, had boon plowed by contract for fifteen aores. On measuring it was found to havo but twelve aores. It is desirable, in fact, indispensable for good work, that a farmer should know how many acros each fiold contains, for otherwise he can not apj>ortion seed o: manure for it, nor can he tell how much time it should require to be plowed. A meas uring cord should' bb part of the fur nituro on every farm. To make one, procuro sixty-seven feet of strong rope, one inch round; make a loop or fasten a ring or bar at each ond, and make these prociaoly sixty-six feet apart. This is four rods. Then tie a pioco of rod rag in the centre. One aore of ground will l>o a pioco fotar of the cords (chains) long and two and one-half wido, eqvll to sixtoen by ten rods, making IGOsquaro rods to 1 aero. The advantfwo of the ring or loop is that one person can meaure alone by driving a stako hi t he ground to hold the rope while ho stretched it outs The tope shotid be soaked in tar and dried, which will provent it from shrinking when wet. ?

Go where you will, your soul will find no rest but in Christ's bosom. Inquire for Him ; and rest you on Christ, the Son of God. I sought Him: I foun^Pn Him all I cau wish or want. It is in vain to proaoh to people Unless you also lovo them ? Christian ly love them. It is not <lie smallest use to try to mako people good unless rou try at the same time, and they foel that you are trying, to make them happy. And you rarely can make an other happy unless you are happy yourself. Watering Horses. Thore is a certain want of common senwe and humanity in the habit many porsons have of watering horses threo times daily. The only reason able or sensible or prudent plan to pursue is to givo animals wator^ ac cording to their real wants. This is fv different in attor from giving It to them capriciously, or *ncoordinjf. to their fancy. If wo give to tho latter, we will find tho animal becomes as a monkey, and will play the old jjftfr dior at every opportunity, pretending to drink and making believe, so as to gain time and shirk work. gjw But it is simply cruelty tooarifS team to plow or work from ncu?M > until noon, or from noon un^^ M hi, without allowing it the privjH^ofa refreshing draught. It is inBbnveni ont, tftany times, to water teams dur ing tho forenoon or aftojyjbon, and wo are apt to think Urfatimo thus lost, but when the farnJa^TTlenium comos thoro will probt^Hbe drinking in every field, juumH F from some elevated spi ialHP^omo running stream. 1 udflJF* nfoan while, time "lost" in doififf goOd, even though it may lv> in himilf of dumb animals, is well "lost" flpbi^y be regained.
