If tempted and tried almost hast your endurance To turn from the right to some easier way; If some careless soul seeks to give you assurance That yea will succeed if yon will stray; Just think of those poor 801.115 who listened and deeded And found themselves soon in a des- perate plight, And point to the warning (you know It is needed), The warning that bids you to "Keep to the right."

It is that of coal -alining, in which not a single female person in the United States is employed. The Republic to the south employs about 600,000 workers in coal mines, who produce each year 600,000,000 tons or coal. Thanks to machinery, the output of coal per Ulan has greatly increased in the last few years, In 1901 it was 729 tons; last year it was 1,134 tons. In no other country .of the world does the average miner produce so great a quantity of coal per diem. His daily output is nearly `four and a half tons: The chief reason for this Hee in the fact that American coal is nearly everywhere more accessible than that in other fields. The average thick- ness of the seams is much greater, and, as a rule, they are nearer the surface. Coal in the United States is not mined at such depths as in some parts of the Old World. About 85 per cent. of U. S. bitumin- ous coal is taken from seams between three and ten feet thick. Seams less than two feet thick do not yield as much as 1 per cent. of the total out- put. Short Cats in Holland. 'rhe Dutch are the greatest people in the world for abbreviations" It seems to be a national trait of the Hol- lander, and not only aro the missives between Nevrouw and her daughter and Mynhoer and his son liberally sprinkled with the shortening of Dutch as she is spoke, but the adver- tisements in the Dutch newspapers are also thriftily abbreviated, so as to permit of the maximum amount of ex- pression with the minimum of type. Private correspondence, as well as business correspondence, 'in Holland is a network of abbreviation, so much so that a Hollander who has not been in his native land for a good many years, but still retains a knowledge of this mother tongue, is likely to fall by the wayside in reading a letter from an old friend from whom he has not heard in a long time. Tho Dutch lover is quite accustomed to be told in a letter by his sweet- heart how much she loves flim in ab- breviations that suggest more a Rus- sian stock ticker news iteral than the lovedaden wards of a romantic maid. "Certainly, Miss!" A. blushing young maiden aproached the post-oiilce counter, and inquired of the clerk: "Have you any letters for Miss Smith, please?" The young man behind the grill, be- ing something of a wag, said: "i3usiness letter or love letter, miss 7" "Oh, b -business, please., Thereupon o, large bundle of letters was quickly run through in vain, and the young lady Hesitatingly went away. A few minutes later she returned, and approaching the same clerk, and blushing more rosily than ever, said: "Oh, sir, would you mind looking Trough the love letters?' Yox don't know whether you are "coaling or going," You are Bilious, constipated! You feel headachy, full of cold, dizzy, unstrung. Your meals don't fit—breath is bad, skin sallow.

The smallest newspaper in the world is now being printed in New York City. Its 'pages are only about five inches wide and six inches long, •butthey contain short news items that are very easily and qu.iekly read. Another odd newspaper published in this same pity is called The Deaf Mutes' Journal, all of its editors and general staff being members of a deaf and dumb school. However, The Deaf Mutes' Journal is a real newspaper in size and contains four pages of in- terosting reading, In Germany there is a newspaper that has nothing in it but stories about rheumatism, People having this trouble write in their experiences, doctors tell new ways to get rid of it and it seems that everybody there having rheumatism Subscribes to this queer newspaper. ome years ago a Russian editor started a postcard size newspaper, the print of which was so small that he furnished a magnifying glass to teach of his regular subscrib- era. Somehow the idea didn't take, as he only printed a few numbers be- fore finding out that the people didn't appreciate the idea, even though the magnifying ginss was furnished free. Greenland hasn't many newspapers of any kind, but the oddest of then all is a monthly paper called The Kalorikmit. (I)id you get your tongue twisted after pronouncing this name?) The most unusual thing about this paper is that a three months' subscrip- tion costs two ducks, while it requires a sable skin to pay for a year. Four Friends. For greater gifts I would not pray Nor ask the gods to send my way If I could have four friends a day. A friend of better days than this, Of brighter sun and golden bliss Before the times had gone amiss. A friend of worse days, dark and drear, Who shared the hours of storms and fear, Before the skies began to clear. .A. friend new made who shall afford Adventures of the unexplored, A friend with happy future stored. An old friend who has stood the test, Has known the worst and known the best, Alike in both forever blessed. Mlnard's Liniment Relieves Distemper Fashions for the Kiddies, • No. 9727—Child's Coat.

S8nf7orin St., .'osomto, Oat„ Western Farmers Building Silos. it is to be anticipated that before many years have elapsed a].rnost every farm 111 the Canadian prairie pro- vinces will have its silo. The growth of the dairy industry would naturally bring this condition about in course of time, hut the movement is being ex- pedited by the success farmers are having in growing sunflowers. Small fields of from ,three to thirty acres have been planted in various parts of the three prairie provinces of Canada. The yields are proving more satisfac- tory than the farmers generally dared to hope, and each acre yields on an average fume fifteen to thirty tous of ensilage. ,Aiany fanners have erected slips on their farms during the summer to take care of this crop, but most of them have under -estimated their re- quirements -and will have more crop than they can put in their silos. Sunflower silage is due for a more extensive trial this winter than it has had before. The results in pre- vious years have been very satisfac- tory but only comparatively few farmers have grown the crop for sil- age previous to this year. If in its more extensive use the crop proves to be as satisfactory as it has already proved in a few cases where it has been tried, it is safe to say that in a few years the farm without a silo will be an exception in Western Canada. Since last year's results have be- come known, considerable interest has been shown in silos and ensilage in Western Canada and several hun- dred silos have been erected during the past summer. Typical of this movement is the Cardston district in Southern Alberta, where eight silos -have been erected this year and where about fifty acres of sunflowers were planted. The erup has proved so suc- cessful that it is predicted that one hundred silos will be built in the dis- trict next year and more than a thous- and. acres of sunflowers planted. ' Similar plans are being made In other parts of Western Canada, and the already rapidly growing dairy in- dustry promises to grow much faster v1 ;t the general acceptance of the sunflower as a silage crop. Another evidence of the value of sunflowers as a forage crop will be the big gain in finished steers. Many of the larger livestock raisers are growing sun- flowers and erecting silos for this pur- pose. Thus will be considerably in- creased the finishing areas of Canada, which, hitherto, have been somewhat restricted, compared with the large feeding areas throughout the country, and the livestock industry in the West will be placed on a sound basis. lefinard's Liniment Coe Limited.

As is the ease with the two other plant foods, what we know as "potash" may be .guaranteed in at least two different ways. Ninety-four pounds of pure potash (KO) contains 78 pounds of pure potassium (K), Or, putting the ease in the reverse, 78 parts of pure potas- sium combines with 16 parts of oxy- gen to form 94 parts of potash. Prom the above figures anyone can change a statement of potassium to a corresponding statement of potash, or the reverse. In the first case, multiply the'iigure for potassium by the factor 1.205. In the second ease, multiply the figure representing potash by the factor 0.82. Reniember, once again, that there %a no significance in this change. Pure potassium never occurs in nature. Even if it did, it could not be used in fertilizer, for it is highly caustic, and burns in contact with water. Equally, what we know as potash is not a stable con/pound, and cannot be used in fertilizer. The terms "potash" and "potassium" are used simply as meas- ures of value; Neither one has advan- tage over.. the other; either could be used.
