'The*fol lowing true story, accord- ing •' Golden Rule," organ of the I. P. S. C. E., is related by one of the rpartioipants in the renuidkable incident : Not long since in It eertr,ttihr New Engtland.city, four colmnerela trav- ellers met !for the first time, a;t the Olde. With that genial bono'hornie peeuliar to the craft they were -soon 'engaged In reOnvel'sation. In 1L few moments•one of them said: Gentlemen, suppose we 'begin, being all strangers, with the gentle- man opposite me, to introduce -our--- sel=ves and our firm's business, This •was unanimously agreed upon. Said NO. 1: " I am , and I represent 'the house of X. Y. Z., sell- ing glass 'bottles:" Said .No. 2: " Well, gentlemen, perhaps 11 1s pot strange that I comae next, for I represent P. D. Q.; i am , and 1 sell the stub' that goes into the bottles. I sell wines and liquors." There was a moment's silence :as No. 3 said; '" That, gentlemen, does seem a little strange, but perhaps there is a fatality about this. I am ----, of the firm of W. U. S., dealer; in undertakers' goods." No. 4 now remained silent and suggested that if would be well not to pursue the subject further, and that it had been well never to have started it. After much -rrging to complete the chain, he said: " Gentlemen, it is indeed a fata1•i.t'i . I am , of 13. B. E., 'and I :am taking orders for gravestones." Was there ever a temperance lecture compressed into so few lines ? The "Social" Phase of the 'W hickey Drinking in its True Light. Mr. Perry was a Southern gentle- man, exceeding polite and a very temperate man. One day he met an aequiantance who called out: "Halloo, Perry! I was just going to get a drink. Colne in and take something." "Thank you," said Perry. "I don't care for anything." "But," persisted the other, "come in and take something, just for sociabil- ity's sake." "I want to be sociable," answered Perry. "I am anxious to be sociable, but I can't drink with you." "All right," growled the friend. "If you don't want to 1)e sociable, I'll go without drinking," The two men walked silently along for a minute or two, the sealable man .its a state of great irritation, Until Pony suddenly halted iii front of a drug store. "I'm not feeling well to -day," said he with a pleasant smile, "and I think I'll go le here and get a dose of castor oil. Will you join bre?"' ""What;" exclahncd the other. "In h dose of castor-oil?" "Yes, I'll pay, for it." "Ugh!" cricks the sociable maty with a wry face. "I hate the stuff'." But I want you to take a glass of oil with ine ,just to be sociable, yon. know." "I won't do 1t." "Indeed, cry friend," said Perry gravely, "your 6ociab1e whiskey is just as distasteful to me as any oil is Only actions give life strelfipth;; unity moderation. gives at a etianni.

In the man whose childhood has known caresses and kindness there is always a fibre of memory that can be touched to gentle issues. It is by adding to our good pur- poses, and nourishing the affection which are rightly placed, that we shall best be able to combat the bad ones. It is a sober truth that people who live only to amuse themselves work harder at the task than most people do in earning their daily bread. Among the .instrumentalities of 1ove and peace, surely there can be no sweeter, softer, more effective voice than that of gentle peace-; breathing music. • j There is only one stimulant that never fails, and yet never intoxicates. Duty. Duty puts a blue sky over every man --up in his heart maybe --into which the skylark, happiness, always goes singing. Failure, disappointment and defeat eonstitute a considerable part of human life, and much of our welfare depends upon the way in which we aeeept them, and the results which we wrest from them. To -day's privileges cannot be en- joyed nor to -day's duties discharged J to -morrow. To -morrow may never , come. • If it does conic, it will bring its own privileges and duties—privi••1 loges made less and duties made greater by to -day's neglect. He who recklessly injures his health does not thus prove his un- selfishness—he simply curtails his power of doing good; and he who injures his character by welcoming evil influences is thereby inflicting a still greater evil upon the cornmitn- ity. Short Journeys on a Lon; Road Is the characteristic title of a profusely illustrated book containing over one hundred pages of charmingly written descriptions of summer resorts in the country north and west of Chicago.

Spectacles were first used ilr, the , latter part of the thirteenth century. In the Bank of 1 nglai d sixty folio volumes or ledgers ars filled daily with writing in keeping the ac-� coturts. An Old minister pant d Walter Mills was going to church one Sun- day morning, and passing an old lady on the street be spoke to her and asked her to attend church. The old lady asked him what de- i nomination. he belonged to and he: told her. She said she had no love 'for that denomination, and would not go to hear their minister preach, • Mr. Mills on hearing this said, "I !ain the minister'." • This nearly took the breath from the old lady, but she quickly got over her sarpriso and said, "Are you, and what alight your text be this morning ?" Dir. Mills answered. "Beef f .and :greens," and started off towards the ,church, The old lady looked after him and :unuttered, "Beef and greens;" what does he mean ? I most go ;toad bear him, And off she started. When the minister got into the ',pulpit he saw the old lady in the front pew. After tlae opening services were over, he proceeded to preach, taking his text from .Pro- verbs : "Better adinner of herbs and contentment therewith, than a stalled •©x with sorrow." The instant the old lady hears it she exclaimed: "Yes it's 'beef and greens' after all," to the surprise of the congregation. Mr. Mills then took up her words and said, "Yes, brethren, its beef and greens ; and lie preached an eloquent sermon.. One Gives Relief. It is so easy to be mistaken about indigestion, and think there is some 'other 'trouble. The cure is liipans Tabules. One tabule gives relief. Ask any druggist. The Coal Oil utput. Within the last few days, Ameri- can crude petroleum has made a de- cided advance in price, and is going up each day. As a result the retail dealers are paying the wholesalers more for refined oil, and of a neces- sity the consumers will have to bear their portion of the advance. The ,explanation given is that the supply to all appearances is becoming ex- hausted; old oil fields are giving out and new wells put down are not giv- ing satisfactory yields. The decrease in production in Pittsburg fields alone shows a falling off of 4,708 barrels in the month of March as .compared with the corresponding month of 1894. If coal oil takes a further jump consumers need not be surprised. Canvassing for V otee.' A lady canvasser in the recent London county council elections has been relating some of her experi- ences. At one house, in answer to her questidn " Is Mr. in ?" she was told, "No, we cannot give to beggars," and the door was sharply closed. Proceeding further, this canvasser asked of' a woman, engrossed in her scrubbing and cleaning, " Is your husband on the register ?" and re- ceived the startling reply, " My hus- band on the register? No, mum; he's on the drink." Another hard-working wife re- plied in the course of conversation to the quem* Is your husband a Socialist?" No, mum; he's a lamp- lighter. Remarkable medical discoveries continue to be made. Dr. Marmorek, a young Viennes studying with Pas- teur, is said to have found out the bacillus that causes blood -poisoning and inflamed wounds. .He calls it Streptococcus pyogenes, and says he has found out the antidote as well. The remedy can be used also for cases of diphtheria too malignant to be cured by serum. As soon as spring opens and seed- ing operations commence, "dispatch" should be the wateliword on every farm. Time can be saved and horses given much more comfort by clipping the team that have anything like a heavy coat of hair. To a horse that sheds its coat early there is little or no advantage hi clipping, but these IVO the exception and not the rule. Not only oan tine clipped team be i kept constantly going while in the 1 field, but the work of grooming be- comas a ranch lighter task morning and night than with a heay,y-coated horse. It is not well to clip the legs' from the hooks down, especially if . the animal be of one of the draught breeds, or there will be a tendency fur them to chap by being exposed to winds and moisture. Much in Little. rnderstaad your antagonist before you answer him. Better to go to bed supperless than to get up in debt. The world would be a place of peace if leen were ail peacemakers. The more one speaks of himself the less he likes to hear another talked of. What seems to tis the merest acct. !dent springs from the deepest source I of destiny. Content can soothe, whcre'er by 'fortune placed; can rear at garden in a desert waste. And yet I know out of the dark ' must grow, sooner or later, whatever is fair, for the heavens have willed it • 80. All men have their frailties; and ' whoever looks for a friend without imperfections will never find what he seeks. It is far more important` to me to ' preserve an unblemished conscience than to compass any object however . great. It was as if the spirit of life in !nature were but withholding any :too precipitate revelation of itself, in its slow, wise, maturing work. It is stated that Wallace Graham, late of Parkhill, died in Chicago the other day by taking his own life. He formerly ran the Parkhill Gazette. Miss Chatterly—Don't you think that Algy has a horrid large mouth? Baboony — Well, it just fits the handle of his cane.— Philadelphia Times. Jillison says he does not see why there should be any objection to women entering the legal profession. Nine out of every ten married men know well enough that her word. is law.—Buffalo Courier. The Supreme Court of California has decided that the holder of a through ticket is entitled to stop -over privileges, and that the ticket must be honored for the distance till used. The two most absent-minded men on record are the fellow who thought he had left his watch at home and then took it out to see if he had time to go hack to get it, and then the man who put on his office door a card saying: "Out, will be back soon," and on his return sat down on the steps to wait for himself. The decision by Judge Morrison that a lodge doctor's contract includes both surgical and medical attendance is a platter of wide. interest, but its application is limited by the fact that itis based on the wording of a lodge by-law. To the average mind the attempt to distinguish between medi- cal and surgical attendance seems like a quibble. The raising of the issue should lead lodge members to have a more definite understanding in all contracts. .t Gentlemen, I can't lie about the horse; he is blind in one eye," said the auctioneer. The horse was soon knocked down to a citizen who had been greatly struck by the auction- eer's honesty, and after paying for the horse, he said: " You were honest enough to tell Inc that this animal was blind in one eye. Is there any other, defect ?" " Yes, sir, there is. lie is also blind in the other eye," was the prompt reply.--- Tid•13it . Fruit trees may be planted until they start into growth. Pruning maybe done even after that time, as it is better to prune late than not EOR 0 N E at all. All dead weed should be re- moved, as it only causes. decay and death ainong the healthy branches. If trees show signs of becoming stunted, a good dressing of manure on the surface over the roots will be service- able. Currants and gooseber'r'ies are greatly benefited by a coating of 1 manure worked into the surface soil. Many of the old apple -orchards of Canada are dying out, and should be replaced by new ones. Maury fauns arse practically without orchard~, or, at all events, the output is so limited and so inferior in finality as to har•clly merit the name "fruit growing."
