The German school teacher is verj poorly paid for his wearisome work o imparting wisdom to his pupils, il many of his pupils are like the one described in the following dialogue. The boy found it difficult to understand simple arithmetic: 'teacher?Suppose, Fritz, you have a stocking on one foot, and you put another stocking on the other foot. Fritz?I never wear no stockings. Teacher?Suppose your father has one pig in a pen, and be buys another pig, and puts it in the pen, how many pigs will there be in the pen ? Fritz?Dad don't keep pigs. The teacher blew a heavy sigh from his tired lips, wiped the perspiration from his scholastic brow, and went at it again with renewed courage. "Suppose, Fritz, you have one jacket, and at Christmas your father makes you a present of another jacket how many jackets will you have then?" Fritz?He ain't that kind of a father. He never gives me nothin' for Christmas. "Sunnose vour mother eives vou one apple, and you have one already, what will you have then ?" Fritz?Stomachache. Our applet are cookin' apples. The teacher was not the man to be diacouraged by trifles. He began tc suspect that Fritz was not well up it arithmetic, but he resolved to make one more effort, so he said: "Fritz, if a poor little beggar boj has a cake, and you give him one more cake, how many will he have ?' Fritz?I dunno, I eat my owe cakes. Then the teacher told the children to go out and play.?Texas Siftings. Not Going to Be a Dude.?A young lady, a Sunday school teachei in a church near the corner of Gilmore street and Lafayette avenue, was, on Sunday, defining faith to her class ol young Americans, aged from 6 to 1C years. She set about her task in a practical way. "Faith in anything," she said, "is to believe that something existed which could not be seen, Suppose," she said, "your papa should toll vnn he had nut $10 in the bank for you, and that you might draw it from the bank when you grew older. You did not see the money put in, but you know it is there because you believe what your papa tells you, and when you grow up and want the money, you dress yourself, with your gloves on, and your high hat, and your cane, and you?" At this juncture the teacher was startled by one of the boys, who cried oul: "What are you giving us ? Do you think I'm a dude ?" The young lady says she felt prostrated, and that it will be sometime before she stirs up the question ol faith again.?Baltimore American. I?* A good story is told of a certain prominent railway director, who is equally renowned for his ability to take or make a joke. A railway employee, v/hose home is in the country, applied to him for a pass to visit his family. "You are in the employ of the company ?" inquired the gentleman alluded to. "Yes." "You receive your pay regularly?" "Yes." "Well, now, suppose you were working for a farmer, instead of the company, would you expect your employer to take out his horse every Saturday night and carry you home?" This seemed a poser, but it wasn't. "No," said the man promptly. "I would not expect that; but if the farmer had his horses out and was going my way, I should call him a mean fellow if he would not let me ride." The employee came out three minutes after with a pass good for 12 months. Chemistry, Practical and Theoretical.?"Young gentlemen," said the lecturer in chemistry, "coal exposed to the elements loses 10 per cent, of its weight and heating power. This is due to the action of the alkali constituents of?" "But what if there is a dog sleeping near the coal, professor?" "None of your levity, young man. This is a serious matter." "That's what dad thought when 72 per cent, of his coal pile disappeared during three nights of exposure. Then he asked my advice as a student of chemistry, and I told him to buy a dog. He bought a dog, with baywindow teeth and the string-halt in his upper lip, and now we don't lose one per cent, of our coal a month. That's the kind of a practical chemist I am. Now go on with your theory." A Narrow Escape.?They were telling some pretty tough stories, aud, presently his turn came. "Yes," he began, clearing his throat, "people lose their lives sometimes in the foolishest sort o' way. I recollect an Irishman, poor fellow, who some years ago sat down on what he s'posed was a keg o' black sand to smoke his dudeen. After finishiu' the fust pipe he cot un an' knocked the live ashes right into the keg." "Many killed beside him ?" asked a breathless listener. "Many what?" "Killed?blown up." "Oh, there wasn't no explosion, uothin' explosive 'bout black sand." He Thought It Was Cheap.? "Hid you say this patent medicine was a dollar a bottle?" "Yes, sir." "But see what a little bottle it is. The contents couldn't have cost more than two cents." "That's so?but just look at that splendid label. You don't want to get a nice bottle, a sure cure for consumption, rheumatism, cancer, sore throat, dyspepsia, burns, scalds, heaves and corns, with a work of art thrown in, for less than a dollar, do you ?" A Long Look Ahead.?Young Husband?It does seem to me you might learn how to cook better than that; my mother? Young Wife? There that will do; I refrain from learning how to cook on principle. "Oh, you do; thinking of me, of course?" "No, of ray son." "Son?" "Yes, I don't intend he shall ever make any nice girl miserable bragging about my cooking."

So that it wa tho ploco of meeting and of communio between God and man. It was a wondrou type of Christ as tho end of tho law fo righteousness, and as tho atonomont fc Dur sins. 8. ''And thoy sot tho ark of God upon now cart." It was woll enough for th Philistines to do this, for thoy had no ir jtructions from God as to His ploasurt but Israel had commands from God the iho ark should bo borno upon the shonldei )f tho Lovitcs set apart for that purpos [Num. ivf 24, 25; vii, 0).

While the movement for the construction and maintenance of a per[ manent system of improved public highways is attaining a strength and popularity truly encouraging, some time must necessarily elapse before every point in the country is reached and benefitted. Farmers will find many rough places in their routes to market. In wet seasons there will be miry places, and in dry weather clouds j of dust. Now a little effort put forth ( by farmers will secure highly satisfacd tory results to themselves without great cost. 18 I call their attention to the fact o that straw is a great factor in good I, roads. It makes a road that is not J- muddy in wet weather. Do not burn * old hay or straw of any kind. If there is a miry or dusty place on the road, cover it with straw. The value )f of straw in this direction was tested D during the Hancock county fair, in i- Carthage, 111., several years ago. d The weather had been very dry and 11 by the middle of the week the roads D leading to the fair grounds had become nearly hub deep in dust, no amount of q sprinkling seeming to have any effect. 10 Finally as a last resort a number of d loads of straw were scattered along it the principal highways to the fair o grounds and water sprinklers kept go0 ing all night. To the surprise and 18 gratification of the good people of that ? city the plan proved a fine success r and the dust was kept "laid" during ir the remaining days of the fair without difficulty. Now comes the interesting a part of the story. During the various o mudy spells that have occurred since the plan was utilized, it was found ^ that the highways thus "strawed" ^ were always in the best condition. io Some wise farmers down in the n southern part of Hancock county, g taking note of this, have spread straw over several hundred yards of very e bad roadway in their vicinity, and it is ' now stated that this piece of road is a today the only good road in that part 0 of the county. 3.

My experience has taught me y that? 10 1. One acre of land well prepared g and well tilled produces more than y two kept on the same amount of labor f1 used on one. 0 2. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or ,f hog, well fed, is more profitable than y two kept on the same amount necessay ry to keep one well, c. 3.

The farmer who is above his bus0 iness and entrusts it to another to a manage soon has no business to attend s ______ i- How to Judge a Cow.?The best n sign for richness of milk in a cow is 7 the deep orange color inside the ears. This is said to be infallible, but there J are other points that assist the expert a in making his selection from a number. After examining the ears, feel the skin d on the rump and observe that it should e be soft, velvety and falls again to its 0 position when the hand is removed. 0 The hair should be fine and silky, * with a yellowish cast underneath. * The milk veins should be very promi1 nent, uniform, and the udder well t balanced, extending full to the rear, k- and well forward in front to the main ? milk ducts that extend along the belly. ? The bones should be fine, the eye mild j r and expressive, the body showing a ^ tendency to avoid accumulating fats, j the teats even and at regular intervals, t with the escutcheon well defined, f dandruff being easily rubbed tbere0 from, and the cow should give iudi'* cations of being a good feeder. r % + % Q Preserving Eggs.?Those who a would like to keep some of the over- j b supply of eggs until there is more of a i- demand, may profit by the rule given 8 in Farm Poultry. 4 "Take one pint of salt and one quart r of fresh lime and slack with hot water. When slacked, add sufficient water to U make four gallons. When well settled, f pour off the liquid gently into a stone s jar. Then with a dish place the eggs - in, tipping the dish after it fills with ' the liquid, so they will roil out without cracking the shell, for if the shell is cracked the egg will spoil. Put the 3 eggs in whenever you have them fresh. i Keep them covered in a cool place s and they will keep fresh for one year, e When it is necessary to pickle a * large number of eggs, of course the 1 amount of liquid must be correspondi ingly increased. a 86F* The farmer who wants to get t rich by farming must expect to work hard for a number of years. Brains a are a good thing to have and not to ) be despised, but the successful farmer * finds it necessary to use all the brains 9 and about all tbe bodily strength he j has in order to succeed. The writer r never knew but one man who worked t too bard ; he said in his last sickness : 3 "Some people blamed me for working 3 too hard, but I took pleasure in it." [ No person should work so hard during I; the day that he can't sleep well at 3 night and feel rested in the morning. i What many farmers most ueed is not i less land and more bard work, but * more enthusiasm in their business and more thorough cultivation of the acres a little salt in the watering pot once a |gff? week will make a very great improve- S?>| ment in their growth. Their native atmosphere is damp and salty, and gjg they are said to attain their highest UKjt perfection in England and Scotland. Care should be exercised in not giving &?* them too much pot room. They should be changed to larger pots as the small- ?| er become filled with roots. Never allow them to become too dry. They TI like a rich soil, and a little bone meal mixed with it is a wonderful improver. No flower is lovlier or gives a fuller It i return for the care bestowed on it. 0f I jg ^ Night Pasture.?Give the work horses a night pasture near the sta- w bles. After the day's work they should receive the same care in the It t; stables as if they were to remain there, f-pj and after being cooled, fed and cleaned, X turn them in the nasture or large Dad- that dock where they can get a generous bite of grass and roll and rest. They inch should receive the same amount of prac feed in the stable. It is cruel to ex- ' pect them to work all day and pick around all night to satisfy their hun- be h eer. the i * lowi softk Neuralgia.?The most stubborn and cases of neuralgia are apt to yield to hot water treatment. Wherever the pain is located, there a hot water bag should Kon be applied. The suffering part should he wrapped in a blanket, and the unfortunate patient should be put to bed M] and covered with more blankets, and a]]e], induced to drink at least three cups of If y< water as hot as the palate can stand. our This treatment may seem severe, but it is sure to bring relief. NIK , . . for 1 DPI Care of Matting.?Matting should and never be washed with anything but salt and water?a pint of salt to a pail of soft water, moderately warm. Dry <3quickly with a soft cloth. Twice during the season will probably be suffi cient washing for a bedroom, but a room much used will require it some- 11 what oftener.
