WFAT ART THOU DOING?
What art thou doing. Christian?
Is it work for Christ, thy Lord?
Art thou winuing many sinners
By thy life, thy pen, thy word?
When the solomnquestioncometb,
qt will thine answer be?
Calltitlion point to something finished.
Saying, "Lord,tbis work for Thee?"
What doeth thou in service ?
Art thou taking an active part?
Are lite and tongue an earnest
Outflow of an earnest heart?
Or, art thou idly gaziva
\We others toil and sow,
Conte ft with simply praising
The earnestness they show?
What do=.t thou here? Wherever
Thy earthly lot be cast,
Oh let each hour and moment
In gladsome work be passed.
Here! thou may'st do a life work,
Here! thou may'et win a crown,
Starlit and gem-: urrounded,
To cast before the throne.
HUMOR.
Why, are you going, Phil? Glad
to see you in town. Where are you
putting up ? With my wife, of course,
and I have a good deal to put up with,
I tell you.
Professor Proctor figures that the
earth is shrinking about two inches a
year. That accounts for the nervous
anxiety manifested by some people to
possess it while it is of some size.
An old barber down in Salisbury,
N. C., some years since could not call
a certain noted individual's name,but
defined bine as `dat man what goes
round smashin' hissef gainstde Bible'
Nota bad definition.
A reformer says that, no woman can
walk in a corset Certainly not un-
less the corset is abnormally large or
her feet exceedingly small. Corsets
are not made to walk in but to suffer
in.
Tommy, who had just received a
seyere scolding :—Am I really naugh-
ty, mamma. Mamma—Yes, Tommy
you are a very bad boy. Tommy, re-
flectively—Well, anyhow, mamma, •I
think you ought to be glad I ain't
twins.

had.
Somebody says that ammonia will
kill off every mosquito in a bedroom.
So will an old slipper, if the mosquito
sits still when you strike at it. And
this is a quicker plan than to catch
each mosquito and give it a dose of
ammonia.
I say papa, listen—When Freedom
from her mountain--h-igh tin -furled her
---btii iers through the air. What do
you call reedom her for? queried an
innoce oy, who was learning the
piece to say at school. You are too
young toeuuderstand; wait till you get

Minister—dining with a family—
' You never -go fishing on Sunday, do
you, Bobby? Bobby—Oh, no; sir,
Minister—Thai's right, Bobby. Now,
can you can tell me why you don't
go fishing on Sunday. Bobby—Yes;
sir. Pa says he doesn't want to be
bothered with me.
Competent evidence:—A boy was
being examined as a witneis in a New

Mother— .1 declare I dread the
thought of our boy John getting mar-
ried. -Friend-0 that feeling is only
natural. You will become reconciled
to his loss in time. It isn't hisioss so
Much. What then. Why, don't you
see, that it will make me a mother -in'
1ww, and mothers-in-law are' simply
dreadful.
An old man, speaking 'toll a young
lady and coinmening upon her fresh-
ness and good looks, remarked,—Ah,
my dear, may you long retain them,
Yours is a happy period of life. You
know nothing yet of the jealousies,
the heart burnings; the contentions,
the rivalries that beset the pathway
•f existence. Don't I though, she
interrupted. I want you to under-
stand that I belong to a church choir,.
A young man was showing a lady
some parasols. As he picked one up,
from the counter and opened it, he
struck an attitude of admiration, and
holding it up sothat the best light
would be had, said,—Now, then, isn't
that lovely. Look at that silk. Par-
ticularly observe the quality, the
finish, the general effect. Feel it—
pass

beauty. Yes; said the lady, stuffing
her handkerchief into her mouth, yes
that's my old one. I just now Laid it

death he attended the St. Marys fair
and was in his usual state of health.
Thursday morning, after getting up,
he went to the fields for th : cows.
His Ioug absence caused the rest of
the family some alarm, and, a search
being made forlhim, he was found ly-
ing dead in the orchard. Mr Smith
was 69 years of age at the time of his
death, and was held in high esteem
by those who knew him. rrhe funeral
took p.ace last Sunday atternoon.

ed as teacher in No. 3, Hibbert, for
1888. Miss E. L. Hutchinson, who
has taught in No. 2, Hibbert, for the
past 3 t years, with rernarkable success,
has been re-engaged.
WHY HE RAN AWAY,
The editor of a paper at Stormy
Lake, Iowa, is now in hiding near
that place in consequence of the way
in which his printer mixed upthis re-
ports of a concert and a cattle show.
His paper said :—` The concert given
last night by sixteen of Stormy Lake's
most beautiful and interesting young
ladies was highly appreciated. They
were elegantly dressed and sang in a
most charming manner, winn.ng the
plaudits of the entire audience, who
pronounced them the finest breed of
shorthorns in the country. A few of
them are a rich brown color, but the
majority are spotted brown and white.
Several of the - heifers were fined -
bodied,, tight -limbed animals and
promise to be good property.
EXPERIENCES UNDER ETHER.
Every one who has inhaled ether
feels that he has passed through a re-
markable experience, whether of a
disagreeable nature or the reverse.
Sometimes the yaper carries with it
the most delightful sensations, and
again is productive only of the horr-
ible. When the patient is 'going off,'
or returning to consciousness,he often
indulges in absurd remarks.
' There's my blue bonnet f' said a
lady, opening her eyes after some
time spent in a dentist's chair. ' So
I can't be dead; thAt wouldn't have
been waiting for ire in heaven 1'
Another, a sober matron, was so
delightful, on returning to conscious-
ness, at seeing the kindly face of her
physician bending over her, after she
had been floating off into space, that
she exclaimed, excitedly, ' 0 doctor,
I rove you l'
' Yes, yes, I know it,' he replied,
soothingly, and she has since declared
that she was so angry with him for
evidently underestimating the impor-
tance of her statement, that she kept
on wildly insisting, ' But you don't
understand ! I adore you!
One young girl, compelled to go
through a painful surgical operation,
began laughing immoderately as soon
as the ether affected her. After her
recovery, she was asked to recall the
cause of her mirth, and in doing so
she laughed as heartily again.' e-•:
`I can't tell you how funny it was,'
she declared. ' I seemed to be crochet-
ing, and there was a biz, mosquito go
ing in and out with the loops. Oh,
if you cool:" only see how funny he
looked !'
From which it may be inferred that
ether, in common with hashish and
opium, has the powerof investing the
simplest objects and imaginings with
some absurd characteristics.
A gentleman who had inhaled ether
for the purpo•re of having his teeth
extracted says there was some delay
in the course of the operation, and
when the last teeth erre pulled he
began to regain consciousness. •
I felt no pain,' he says, in describ-
ing ,hie sensations,_' but I felt the jar
when each felt my head' Blit aTT ills
time I was dreaming that I was whiz-
zing through the country on a light;
ning express traiu.
At,jeitervals someone threw a huge
log• arose the track in front of the
engine, and we went over it with a
bump and a jolt. Not until after-
wards did I realize that the jar was
that of a depa ting tooth.'
RURAL RUSSIAN FOOLS.
A notable illustration of the mental
condition of the Russian rural popu-
lation is furnished by the Novoe
Vremya in connection with the re-
cent total eclipse. When Proi Men-
delaieff was descending in his mili-
tary balloon near eMoscow, several
peasants ran out of the village of
Ozerkoff with guns to shoot, as they
.described it, 'the evil beast that had
darkened the face of the suns" They
were evidently unable to see tied
there was any human being in the
car of the balicon,and luckily for the
professor,the ballc.on passed them, and
finally came down some considerable
distance off. .Here four men, includ-
ing two merchants, were locked up
for showing'a violent'inclination to
tear the balloon to pieces. The local
policeman, who tried to reason with
them, was pulled from his horse and
dragged along the ground. An
astronomer who was stationed at one
of tbeebservation points oil the Volga
writes that the terror caused amoog
the common people by the eclipse
was very great. There was a general
fear among them that the world was
coming to an end. This idea was
strengthened by the curious coincid-
ence that on the previous Sunday the
part of the Gospel appointed to be
read in the churches happened to be
the twenty-fourth chaptey of Matthew,
in which occurs the prediction that
the sun shall be darkened and the
stars shall fall from the heavens.
The fuice of this passage was further
intensified among the peasantry by a
remarkable fall of aerolites within
ten days after the eclipse in several
places in the province of Perin, One
piece of meteoric stone is reported to
weigh about a quarter of a ton and to
have caused an earth shock in the
year 16 persons were committed as neighborhood of its fall like that of
lunatics. an earthquake.

WHY SALT STOCK?
Every fanner is accustomed to salt
his tattle. but not every one knows
why be does it, un:ess it is because
the stock like it. But a moment's
thought will show where tine advant-
age lies. As soon as food enters the
stomach, the natural tendency is at
once for fermentation to begin, and
there arises a contest between this
tendency and the digestive powers.
And if these powers are vigorous and
the process of fermentation is checked
or intercepted, then no bad results
will follow, the food %vilt he digested,
and salt will not he needed, though
at any time this will assist in the pro-
cess of digestion. Salt keeps food
from decaying until lit cas_be digested
-and assimila:ed, and prolongs the
time to allow.tbe digestive organs to
complete, their work, and if food is
taken in excess, as often happens
when stock is in pasture, salt given
frequently will be of much advantage.
And further, salt is a preventive of
worm. When fermentation sets in,
the conditions presented are favorable
to the existence of worms in the in-
testinal canals, and may possibly be
engendered be the process. Conse-
quently it should be a rule with stock-
men to keep salt before their cattle
or within reach when they need it,and
cattle will obey the demands ofnature
and supply the want as needed.

The farmer who attempts to keep
sheep and has no sheep dog is in
about as bad a situation as the mari-
ner who ventures to sea without a
compass.
More sheep means more grain to
the acre, better pastures and a larger
pocket -book. Wool must be had and.
the demand for mutton is on the ins
crease. Asa rule there is nothing on
the farm which pays better than a
good flock of sheep.
the hog ie -a grass eating animal.
Some do not seem to realize this.
Swine not only like grass, but they
like hay; and they not only like it
but it is good for -them. The
man who has never feed clover hay
to his swine has iniiised a great deal of
profit.
One of the principal causes of
heaved in horses is the feeding of
dusty or dirty hay. Ordinary clean
hay can always be fed with safety if
properly cut up,moistened and mixed
with ground grain ; but to fed the
musty or dirty sorts is very injurious.
Clover, owing to its liability to
crumble, often gets dirty, even after
storage, and should never be feed
without being previously moistened.
The beet fruit cellars are fitted up
with drawers and bins in which to
store the fruit. These are made with
stetted bottoms, and shallow, so that
the fruit need not be stored in them
over six inches deep, and so that the
air can ci •culate frealy throng's them.
This is not only favorable to the keep.
jg qualities of the fruit, but enables
itto be closely watched, and the de-
caying specimens to be the more
easily and carefully picked out.
The bites of spiders and the stings
of bees and wasps usually require no
other treatment than measures to allay
menus •inus popular
the pain. There � I
remedies employed for this purpose.
Sometimes li ai'tshorn is npplied; some
people consider a cabbage leaf the
best remedy. Cloths saturated with
equal parts of water and hartshorn
are usually a grateful remedy—the
fact is anything cooling to the surface
dimishes the pain.
