Almost every one is disposed to compare unfavorably bis calling, whatever it may happen to be, with that of others. This is particularly tru9 of farmers. This disposition is mainly due to the ignorance in their minds of the difficulties that attach to other kinds of business. To the public generally it is only the pleasant features of the professional and business man's life that are visible. The cares and hardships are kept out of Bight. But the observant and thoughtful farmer knows that the life of a professional man, business'man or mechanic is no more one of ease and freedom from care than his own. Ia Southern Ohio there lives a farmer, now quite an old man, whom we have known through his writings for a quarter of a century, Waldo F. Brown. He is an intelligent, thoughtful man, a successful farmer and a good writer. After giving the subject thorough study, he chose farming as a business, when a young man, because be was convinced that it was the most independent and comfortable and least liable to failure of any business that he could go into. Ia a recent letter of his, he shows that he 3titl thinks as favorably of the business as a life calling. To a young man whose fancy is saught by the visible attractions of town life and other callings, we particularly commend a careful consideration of what Mr. Brown has to say about this matter. In the first place he says he has known a large number af farmers' sons about half of whom have gone to cities and towns, while the other half have stayed on the farm. Of those who have stayed ou the farm most of them have gotten i start and are on a fair way to own i comfortable home and be independent; on the other hand, the larger portion ot tnose wno went 10 town ire living from hand to mouth, with little or no prospects of ever owniDg i home. "It tabes pluck and industry," be 3ays>, "to become the owner of a tarm, but so it does to succeed in any calling and the chances of a moderifce competence are better than in aluost any other calling." There is another feature to which j ie call pointed attention, and it is a ihing of which every man who is past the first flush of youth must ;hink very often; it is the fact that >wnership of a good farm gives to old age and the decline of life a far setter chance to take things easy ihan other callings. The professional 33an, the business man and the meihanic, unless they have grown rich, will be pretty certain to have to go on working hard to make a living, but the owner of a good firm can deputize the work to others and only supervise it, and take things easy as age comes on. This is surely a most valuable consideration and one that ought to have great weight in deciding on a life business. There is one other consideration, which is surely an important one to every one who cares to live honestly, and that is the farmer i9 not sub ^ cynn nnmnofitinn J CV, LCU liV/ tuat UC4VV \/Vvu^/vv?w?vu ?.MM? business men are, which seems to absolutely compel them to resort to deception aod fraud in order to make living. Competition in commercial j life has become so strong that there | is not any line of business in which there is not more or less fraud practiced, and there is hardly an advertisement published that is not full of glaring falsehoods. But a good farmer has no occasion to lie or practice fraud. In fact the business puts a I premium on honesty. The farmer j whose "fresh" eggs are fresh, whose : butter is sweet aod fragrant and fruit j honestly packed, not "deaconed" in : the box or barrel, is the one who can always sell for the best price and whose produce is in dern md. Summed up briefly, it can be truly said farming is the most honorable, iude- j dependent and satisfactory business j one can follow, and the same amount <-> f II" rtfrvrj inilnctri; Q n rl (if 11 Iv fVlftt. VI CAiCigj, 1U uuauj , would be required to make a success | in any other business will produce | more satisfactory results in this than any other. "While to the man who j loves nature, enj >ys the plan'iDg and , cultivation and making of crops j grow, and handling of live stock, there i3 nothing eke that can com i X / pared with it in the remotest degree. I By all means let the farmer boy stick J to the farm. Chronic Diarrhoea Cured. This is to certify that I have had chronic diarrhoea ever since the war.

Mrs. Nancy Jones died Sun day morning after suffering intensely ] for five months from paralysis. She < was in her 82nd year, and had been i married 66 years. Her husband, 1 Seaborn Jones, well and favorably j ' known, is in quite feeble health and ' the sad ending of the life of his faith- 1 ful wife has proved almost more than he can bear. She was laid away in { the cemetary here yesterday, after a 1 beautiful funeral discourse by Dr. ! f Wilkins. She leaves a number cf j * children and grandchildren, and the ' 1 most priceless of all, they have in- j herited from her, is the gentle, Chris- ; I tian virtues Sue instilled into their i lives, indeed generation to come, can j i rise up and call her blessed, for her j f advice and example was always fcr ; j honesty and morality. She was : t baptised into the fellowship cf Bethel j < Baptist church, by Carson Howell of ! < sacred memory, nearly seventy year9 j ago and her long membership has I < been one unbroken line of consistent j < labor and fortitude for the upbuilding of humanity, and the advance ^ ment of every grace for the better- ^ ment cf mankind. { Mrs. W.

In a little while all the officers will be gone. As a rule the officers were chosen from the older meD, and hence some of the privates may liDger on , the shore until the last officer has j crossed the river. "When the officers are all gene, and ! when there shall be no more officers j to address us at our re-unions, the i annur.l gathering of the veterans will I be discontinued, and we shall hear ! no more of the glory, pomp and cir- I cumstance of war. Having served their day and generation tie old j privates will be left to their own ! rehersal of the stories of the conflict that shed lustre on American arms, i The privates may not be able to i speak as eh. <]uently as the command 1 ers of great battalions, but their heaits are just as true, and their sense of right and wrong is just as j acute. It is pitiful to read of the death 01 a veteran in an alms hovse. Those ; who fought their country's battles, ! . I should receive a pension that would j shield them from such an end. 1 Mrs. Singer. I: Husband "Worth $25,000,COO: She Doef the Cockirg and Makes i i the Beds. I f Philadelphia Press. Mrs. Kruger, wife of the president i of the Transvaal republic, is unhand- ( some. i She is so rich that it would take a the greatost effort to spend their in- J <come invested as the capital is in j great paying interest. To do this | she would have to live in almost j baibaric splendor, but, bless you, I } she even does her own cooking. It is probably ihat her acute, subtle husdand approves of her style of j living. i 8 If he objects no one returning from J ^ that far land has ever heard of it. It j ? is more than probable that by just j p such thrifty methods Mr. Kruger i bimself rose into his present emi- ^ nence. b But thiok of it! The income of 825,000,000 and to j ^ lo one's own cooking ! To fuss and fume and fret and'| n 3trew over a boiling stove in a hot, S1 bot land rather than spend the money j on a maid. And not only to cook, ^ for it is whispered?and loudly in j tourist and English circles in Africa S1 tkat she very often takes a hand in ^ si the washing and that she scrubs and f, rolls the clothes with the skill and w strength of the best of them. p She also insists upon making her r, own beds. This may be because ^ 'the Kruger" needs an untroubled w pillow, a sheet without a wrinkle to oase him from the arduous duties of A scheming to make empires and mil- ^ [ions, but if she does the rest of the ? bard work it is probable she makes t] the bed also to save the peony?or a whatever the money is in that land. 0 When her husband has state \ quests to dioner, this is, indeed, the p time the good lady shine?; here she a shows the stuff of which she is made, 0 md does honor to her millions and j. aer position as wife of the president, p Not at the foot or the head of the table, but in passing the dishes. To o 10 butler will she ever trust so great c i responsibility. There might be a slip, a mishap, that she couldn't *uard against. So, shining and splendid, with large white apron iver her capacious form she waits on h ?ach guest. d "Surely," she argues, "no hostess c; ian take care of a guest better than Ii this." lc Every plate is then heaped to per- fi :'ection, each glass kept filled to the T orim, no slightest wish from any one n: ^oes unnoticed. V If any one is rash enough to extol w ;o "Auntie" Kruger, as every one a tjalls her, the glories of her wealth tl md the immense amount of monthly c; pocket money she has to control she tl svill tell that persons a secret, one of Is which she is proud; one in which t she glories. It is this: That she and the president have never lived beyond their ^ "coffee money." J I MilfllfO 1 resui: And that amounts to s*2,00'J a year illowed them by the government! So, you see, they never touch the )tber great capital, never put their lands on the income of one of the | greatest foitunes in the world ! Where it will all go no one knows, bike many other great millionaries Jjm Paul may leave it to persons vho will enjoy throwing it away on ill unworthy subjects that come nnler their notice. Worry. Vhat This Foolish, Enervating Habit Does for Mankind. Worry is forethought cone to seed. , */ U ? | Ycrry is discounting possible future ^ orrows so that the individual may ^ ave present misery. Worry is the j it her of insomnia. Worry is the ^ railcr in our csmp that dampens j ur powder, weakens our aim. r Jnder the guise of helping us to g ear the present and to be ready for < he future worry multiplies enemies ^ rithin our mind to sap our strength. ^ Worry is the dominance of the f rind by a single, vague, restless, un- f atisfied, feariDg and fearful idea. ^ 'he mental energy and force that a e concertrated an the successive ^ uties of the day is constantly and ] . i i i <1 i i I urrepitiousiy aosiractea ana aoorbed by tbis one fixed idea. The j. all, rich strength of the unconscious c 'orkiDg of the mind, that which c roduces our best success, that g 'presents our finest activity, is a ipped, led away and wasted cn ^ 'orry. r Worry must not be confused with v nxiety, though both words agree in c leaning originally, a "choking," or a t strangling, referring, of course, to f ae throttling effect upon individual t ctivity. Anxiety faces large issues g f life seriously, calmly, with dignity. 8 .nxiety always suggests hopeful j ossibility; it is active in being ready r nd devising measures to meet the ( utcome. Worry is not one large j ^dividual sorrow; it is a colony of , etty, vague, insignificant, restless, j nps of fear, that become important nly from their combination, their onstancv, their iteration.?Ex.

William C L ivering's Djihou etratiou of Three Cotton Bales Unrolling Automatically. Boston Transcript. Hon. William C. Loveriog has re nrncrl frnm Thirnne where he ha? oeen looking after the interests oi ;he American Cotton Company. He !ound the spinners of England and ,he Continent using the Roundlap Sale with the greatest satisfaction. They are keenly alive to all the money laving advantages of the new system. The ease with which the bale is landled in transit and at the mill lelights them. The low cost of reight and insurance, the immunity rom fire in the mill and the fact that here are no hoops, wires or metal of my kind used in baling are features hat especially appeal to the thrifty European spinners. Mr. Levering had the opportunity o address a meeting of prominent iotton manufacturers of Lancashire in the merits of the Roundlap Bale, md by the courtesy of Messrs. Howtrd and Bullougb, of Accrington, hey were invited to witness a denonstration of the running of three >ales of cotton directly on the apron >f a scutcher. Nothing could have >een more perfect or absolutely satisactory than the working of the coton in this way. The scutcher was itarted with three bales upon the J _ IV .1 : l. u L tpron anu rau uu. ai uiiue wiiuuui a litch. or interruption. The noise nade by the beaters was a steady leep and healthful hum, showing bat the machine was doiDg its work without laboring in the least. The ap that was made was clean and wen running, weighing sixteen junces to the yard. The spinners took the greatsst inerest in the demonstration and with me accord expressed their complete satisfaction with the operation. They said that they saw in the new system i great revolution in cotton manu'acturing. They are all anxious to my the new bile, and are ready to jive orders at once. They were surprised and gratified ,o see that the scutcher was an ordinary scutcher, such as they were ising in all their mills. They had ?een led to think that it required jpecial machinery for tho purpose vhereas it only required a little leavier apron to carry the bales or aps, weighing two hudred and sixty nounds each. Shocked tho Parson. A story- is told of one of the new icbool of Scotch parsons who was ecently preaching in a strange :hurcb in a village. Fearing his lair was not properly pirted in the niddie or that he had a smudge on lis nose, he quietly and significantly aid to the beadle, there being no nirror in the vestry: "John, could you get me a glass.'" Tohn disappeared aud after a few inutes returned with a parcel unlerneath his coat, which, to the .stonishment of the parson, he proluced in the form of a lemonade botle with a gill of whisky, saying: "Ye mauna lat on about it, miniser, for I got it as a great favor, and ! wadna hae got it ava if I hadna aid it was for you I'1 Tableau. Hs Was a Hason. A well known Chicago publisher, peaking of scenes and incidents in hat city in the trying days after the )ig fire, said: "The great fire was a hiog of the recent past and the lown town portion of the city a scene if the greatest confusion. About ('clock in the evening, while on my vay to my home in the west division, ! was accosted by a man of respecta>le appearance, who asked me to give lim the price of a lodging.

" 'I'm not a Mason,' said 1 to a 1 | man who seemed to be acting in the j capacity of a guard, 'but I've run ! across one of your fraternity who ' seems to be in hard luck. I take it you'll be glad to do something for him. "Congratulating myself on having done a good act, I pushed my chance acquaintance forward and retreated toward the stairway. A whispered conversation ensued, when the guard exclaimed: " 'You're not a Freemason !' " 'No,' replied my late charge, 'but I'm a stonemason out of a job.' "The roar of laughter that, issued from the half open door made me wish myself a Mason. As it was, I hurriedly quitted the place." Remarkable Rescue.

He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her.

She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found herself sound and well; now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great i Discovery at J. E.

Foul-Smelling Catarrh. ! Catarrh is one of the most obstinata diseases, and hence the mcst difficult to get rid of. There is but. one way to cure it. The disease is in the blood, and all the sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures in the world can have no permanent effect whatever upon it. Swift's Specific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is the only remedy which can reach the disease and force it from the blood. Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg, Ky., had Catarrh for years. He writes: "I could see no improvement whatever, though I waa constantly treated with snrayl and washes, and different inhaling remedies? . # fin ln **ct'1 conl<i th*' / ! each winter I was worM f jgP than the year previous.
