QUIET THOUGHTS.
Good advice followed is hard work
saved.
If you will only learn where you earn,
you will soon earn promotion.
Age is not all decay; it is the ripen-
ing, the swelling of the fresh life with-
in thet withers and bursts the husk.
OE Macdonald.
If one looks up too much at the
clouds, one stumbles against stones.
Star -gazing is very sweet and elevat-
ing, but it is well sometimes to pick up
the homely flowers that grow round
our feet, -R. Carey.
"I have been led to think of Chris-
tianity not as a system of doctrine, but
as a personal force, behind which, and
in which their lies one great and inspir-
ing idea which it is the work of person-
al force to impress upon the life of
man." -Philip Brooks.
Not only the change which we call
death, but probably the whole of this
our mortal life, is only a slow and dif-
ficult and painful birth into a higher
existence; the very breath we draw is
part of the travail of creation towards
a yet but partially fulfilled aim . -Dora
Greenwell.
THE BUZZ SAW ON THE FARM.
On many farms there is more or less
rubbish in the fdrm of old fence rails,
boards and other waste material; also
there are quite a lot of undesirable
small trees that will furnish many cords
of fuel, and good fuel, too, says a farm-
er. A great many farms to -day have
the gasoline engine, but it is only a
matter of business to keep it busy, and
it is the most reliable power for the
buzz saw. We quite often cut as much
as six )ords in half a day, with a three
horse engine and a twenty-four inch
saw; while this is not a large cutting
you will see it is considexably ahead of
the old way of cutting by hand. We
have made enough wood out of the old
rubbish to last us a year; this was not
only a saving to us, but it cleaned up a
lot of unsightly stuff. Coal may be
cheaper to burn but it is very dirty to
use, and so long as we have a supply on
the farm, why not make the best of it,
and over the buzz saw is the easiest
way to make it.

The kidneys seem to be about the first
organs to wear out and fail to properly
perform their work. The result is
weak, lame, aching back, rheumatic
pains and failing eyesight. Many people
of advanced years have recovered health
and comfort by using Dr. Chase's Kid-
ney -Liver Pills. They ensure the
healthful action of liver, kidneys and
bowels.

LURE OF THE OPIUM PILL.

his article gives nn Idea of the amothat

"By this titna the cost of opium had
become a very appreciable and perma.

I increased my allowance day by day
until it took thirty or forty 'fun' (a Chi.

rhe elimination of the retailer's profit

sTorking Overtime.
Mr. Griffin had spent an anxious af-
ternoon at the office and hurried
home at an unusually early hour.
"How do you feel, dear? What did
thd doctor say?" he questioned his
wife as she lay on a couch, her eyes
half closed.
"Oh, he asked me to put out my
tongue," she murmured.
"Yes?"
"And after looking at it he said,
'Overworked'."
Mr. Griffin heaved an audible sigh
of relief. "I have perfect faith in
that doctor, Mabel," said he firmly.
"You will have to glye it a rest."
The Distinguishing Mark.
"My wife has a twin sister who
looks so much like her that you
would not be able to tell them
apart."
"I suppose It has become easy for
you to do so?"
"Yes, but it wouldn't be if my wife
showed the same respect for me that
her sister does."
Pedagogues and Marriage.
Two bright faced academy boys
were discussing their teachers.
"Mr. Blank's going to get married.
I hear."
"Gee, I hopo not."
"Why?"
"Because Mr. Dash got married
last year and now he's fierce."

- There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken in-
ternally in doses from 10 drops to
a teaspoonful. It acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the

lars for any case it fails to curs. Send

FIELD -MARSHALL EARL
ROBERTS, V. C.•
Born 1832. Died 1914.
As when those courtier knights of old,
Went forth to fight with hearts
aglow,
So did you, patterned in their mold,
0 gallant soldier, go!
A like those knights of old romance.
Your warrior soul sought out the fray;
Thus, in the courtly land of France,
Yank spirit passed away.
How fitting that your life should end
Where myriad cannon belch and roar;
0 you, the soldier's staunchest friend,
In peace as well as war!
Yours not the stern, forbidding brow
Of Cmsars-lesser soul'd than you;
But kindness ruled, and that is how
Your humbler Comrades knew.
That you were wholly great, indeed,
And human to the very core, -
A friend in times of dire need,
A mighty foe in war.
Sleep sleep, 0 Britain's mighty son,
Who gave an Empire's frontiers birth;
Your sword is sheathed, your work is
done
Completely here on earth!
And we, who read your gallant past,
Find conquest linked with kindly deed;
And know, where'er your life was cast,
Yon sowed the better seeds
Of duty and of lofty thought,
'Along men of Wry race and creed, I
And know that you, where'er you fought I
Have spurned the savage deed! I
We mourn you, 13ritish lion -heart;
A man whose life was clean and brave!
Such is the greatest tribute art
Can write upon your grave!
You lead no more a conqu'ritne host, !
Nor hear the vietor's triumph -shout!
The clarion bugles blow, "Last Post,"
Then pausing, sound " Lights
Out."

THE EARNINGS OF FARMERS.
Many Do Not Correctly Estimate Their
Incomes. •
The money that a farmer takes In
each year above his cash expenses Is
an income from two distinct sources--
tirst, interest on money tuvested in the
farm business; second, wages for the
labor and managing ability of the
farmer and his family.
Many people who think that they are
financially successful as farmers are
actually living on the interest frora
the money invested in the farm bus'.
ness and on the labor of their sons
mid daughters, For his own work the
farmer frequently receives only a frac-
tion .of a hired man's wages. The rea-
son is that when one has his farm
clear of debt be often forgets that in-
terest on the investment is a receipt,
similar to the interest that one receives
on a deposit in a savings bank, for the
farm could be soli and the money in-
vested so as to secure 4 to 6 per cent
interest with no. work on the part of
the fernier. A farmer whose .farm is
mortgaged for a good portion of its
value is not at all likely to forget that
interest on the investment is a part of
the year's expense. If he does the
owner of the mortgnge will remind
Iiim of it upon each interest day.
A farmer who has a farm and equip-
ment wortb $10,000 could secure an
income of $800 per year by selling his
farm and putting the money at inter-
est, assuming that he could invest the
proceeds so :IS to secure 5 per cent in- '
terest-W. L. Cavert, Assistant Agri-
culturist, Utiversity Farm, St, Paul.

When wOlIten must railk it is hard
to hold the, pail as men do. The stool

It is oblong and the front end made

NO DANGER OF UPSETTING.
A hoop from a cask has about the
right level to it to fit the flare of the
pail. If the seat is made long there
Is little danger of having the pail tilt
It up when full, but if the handle of
the pail is grasped when the milking
is over no danger of upsetting need be
feared In any event. -Orange Judd

. LAW NOTES FOR FARMERSI
Do not rely upon the oral guar-
antee of any agent who sells you
something as to its quality or condi-
tion. Such guarantee will not be bind-
ing on the principal unless it was duly
authorized, and this is often very diffi-
cult to prove.
Do not depend upon a mere oral
guarantee In any case. It is alwaye
difficult to prove, and witnesses ,are
generally forgetful and indifferent It
is easy to put a guarantee in writing
which fixes the responsibility without
other evidence.
Do not depend upon the guarantee
of a firm or company as to the con -
dale!) or quality of things sold to you
unless yon are satisfled that the firm
or company is financially responsible
and that its general mime of dealing
is honorable. The same caution Is ap-
plicable when dealing with private in-
dividuals.
Do not be persuaded against your
better judgment to sign a note as sure-
ty for a friend. In the language of
Solomon, "A man void of understand-
ing striketh bands and becometh sure-
ty in the presence of his friend." Ind
again, "Ile that is surety for a strong.

WHEN TO CUT ALFALFA.
Best Hay Obtained When First Blooms
Appear.
It hes for years been coasidered that
alfelfa for hay should he eut when
about one-half of the plauts are in
bloom, says the Kansas Farmer. Dun
Ing recent years the best alfalfa grow-
ers have been cutting when they could
so soon as the first blooms appear.
Such growers are strongly inclined to
,the belief that the best hay is at this
time obtained and also that cutting at
such time is best for the succeeding
team There are two considerations In
the harvesting of alfalfa for hay. The
first is that of obtaining hay of the
higbest feeding quality and the other
that of cutting at such times as will
resplt in the largest annual yield.
If the crop is allowed to stand until
it is in full bloom the stems becorae
woody and a considerable proportion
of the leaves are lost in the harvest.
It would seem, therefore, that from
the standpoint of hay quality the cut-
ting reached as near maturity as pos-
sible, but before such time as will re-
sult in woody stems and leaf lass.
Every alfalfa grower has observed
tbat just in advance of blooming the
crown of the alfalfa plant starts new

will Dote that the sprouts which are

and the crown shoots been allowed to

belief, therefore, that the largest yield
of .best• quality hay will result from
the cutting of alfalfa Just as soon as
these new shoots from the crown ap-

ALC aHOL AND MEN FAL DISEASE.
To the Editor -
"A recent report from one of the
Glasgow Mental Hospitals gives the
usual testimony as to the influence of
alcohol in producing mental instability
and deterioration. On this point it says:
In 49 cases alcohol was put down as the
determining cause of insanity out of
263 admissions and in combination with
other diseases in ten other cases Wade
22.4 per cent of the admissions. As
usual the indirect influence of aleohal
in causing insanity was very striking.
The cases in which a history of the
abuse or non -abuse of alcohol by the
parents was obtained gave a percent-
age of parental abuse of alcohol of 51.6
per cent. But when these cases, were
separated into two groups, namely those
who were above and those who were
not above the age of 26 years on their
first attack of mental illness they found
a history of parental abuse of alcohol
of 89.6 per cent. of those whose first
breakdown took place before they had
completed 26 years of age, while of those
whose first breakdown took place after
the age of 26 years there was a history
of parental abuse of alcohol in only 36.6
per cent." -The I resbyterian.
The evidence is now beyond dispute
that more insanity is caused by alcohol
than by all other causes put together
and saddest of all, as the above article
shows that it is not so often the drinker
that suffers as his innocent offspriug.
