ee 'What to Teach Boys.
A philosopher has said that true educa-
tion to boys is "to teach them what they
ought to know when they become men."
I. To be true and to be genuine. No
edtication is worth anything that does not
inclede this. e
2. To be pure in thought, • language and
life—pure in mind and in body. _
'3. To be unselfish. TO care for the feel-
ings and comforts of others. To be gener-
ous, noble and manly. This will include a
genuine reverence for the aged and for
things sacred.
.4. To be self reliant and self-helpful,even
from childhood. To be industrious always,
andaelf-supporting at the earliest proper
age. Teach them that all honest work is
honorable, that an idle life of dependence on
others is disgraceful.
When a boy has learned these - four
things, when he has made these ideas a
part of his being—however poor,or however
rieh—he has learned the most important
things he ought to know when he becomes a
man.

That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cure When
Other Medicines Fail—What They Have
Done For Others They Will Do for Vou.
No remedy of modern times has offir'ed
more, or stronger proof of its sterlingnnerit
that has Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The
cures are not" those of people in foreign
lands, but from all parts of our own coun-
try, and- the statements made are easily
verified by everyone in , the vicinity in
which the cures reported occur. When
such proof as this is Offered doubt must
cease, and the medicine Must be awarded
the psalm of superiority over all others.
Every mail brings letters from grateful
people in all parts of Canada, who have
been cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, sometimes after years of illness and
after other medicines had failed, and it is
the words of gratitude spoken by sufferers
thus restored to health that has created
the enormous demand this medicine has. The
following letter is but a fair sample of hun-
dreds constantly b,eing received :
The Dr. Williamb' Medicine Co.
DEAR S1RS,—I have great pleasure in
bearing testimony to the medicinal value of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a blood purifier
and health restorer. For ten years I was
a victim to a complication of troubles, be-
ginning with quinsey and followed by afteu-
matism and bronchitis. -My physiciami told
me the trouble had been chronic, and that
every winter I would either have to house
myself up or go to a warmer climate. Two
3 ears ago I was confined to my bed and
room from February until May, under the
doctor's care. One day while reading of the
cures wrough by the use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, I determined to try them, and I
found a cure at last in this splendid medi-
cine. I used a dozen boxes.of the pills, and
I have never been better in my life than I
am now, and I have not been troubled
in any way with my old complaints
since I discontinued the use of thePink
Pills. Ae I have already -stated, I was a
sufferer for years, and during that period
spent a small fortune in doctor's medicine
and drugs, only to find in the endlhat Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills accomplished what all
other medicines failed to do. When my.
friends -Who know how often I was laid
.aside with illness asked me what cured me
I am alifeays happy to say Dr. Williams'
Pink
Yours gratefully,

araqui, Ontario, Mr. McKim has been a

What stronger proof than the above can
be had for the claim that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills cure when all other medicines
fail? If you are ailidg give this great medi-
cine a fair trial and the result will not dis-
appoint you. The public are cautioned

Hygienic Teaching of American
1 - School.
In this branch of the subject the schools
in America are tar ahead of ever Germany.
England and France have Natidnal schools
of cooker, but they lack the hygienic
teaching of our American schools. This is,
perhaps, the reason why America has ten
schools of domestic economy to one in other
countries. = in this field of science we are
far ahead of other nations.
As all things have been given us by Na-
ture for some good purpose I have always
advocated a mixed diet. If Nature had
intended us for meat eaters only we certain -
13, would have had meat teeth alone, but we
have grinders for the mastigating and the
grinding of grains, which teaches us at once
that e mixed diet is necessary.- ,
People are rather conservative in matters .
of change, especially regarding food, looking
upon ;what their grandmothers did and upon
what they lived, forgetting that their
grandmothers were much more active in
domestic duties than they are, and were
Obligecllo take such food as they , had et
hand—a fact which has left its mark more
r less upon this generation. =
Bread was then the staff of life,and righb-
lr too. It was made from Nature's Wheat,
ontaining ,all the phosphates, the muscle -
forming food, and heat and force food nec-
essary for feeding. Now, this wonderful
grain, in our manner of preparation, has
been robbed of the phosphates and a portion
of its muscle food, and as the p3orer class-
es depend more upon bread than the middle
Or upper classes, they have suffered , most.
erhaps the farmer, who toils many hours
o bring forth a good crop of wheat, suffers
Ii!Iore than any other laborer. He suffers
oubly, from lack of nourishment and from
ack of recompense, as lie has wasted- much
money in the exchange of wheat for flour.

those alarming cases where the scale _had
existed right under 'the nose of specialists
for Soars without being detected. Of the
eastern speoialists, not one in a hundred
had ever seen a San Jose scale, but all at
once fruit was sent to the department of
horticulture at Washington, infested with
it, and it set up a great furore among spec-
ialists; because it 'was known that if it MC-
ceeded in gaining a foothold in their or-
chards and nurseries, it meant vast destruet
tion of the fruit -growing industry "in the
east.. Professor Alwood cited a number of
cases in Virgin& where the scale was found
to have existed for some time without its
presence having been suspected and
where the only prevention for the
further spreading of the infection was
immediate destruction of the stock.
In one case an orchard had become in-
fested with the scale by means of the
peach gatherers, who, in gathering the fruit,
had carried away the sc:ale upon their cloth-
ing, and, in various ways, had spread it in
this orehard,it being found on close investig-
ation, in the furthermost limits of -the or-
chard. When carriedin this way it spreads
very rapidly ; also where the trees are large
enough and interlaced with each other. In
other cases the spread is very much slower;
trees are known standing twelve feet apart,
one solidly infested with scale for two
years, and the other entirely free from it.
A ease of finale was found to exist, Professor
Atwood went on to say, within a few steps
of the door of the horticultural building of z
Cornell University, where it had been for

The Ilowick Beef Ring.
A party of farmers in this neighborhood
Have joined in a club to do themselves good;
They started a beef ring t) get a supply
Of good honest beef fur to boil and to fry.
Each man in hie turn takes hit beset to the shop,
Where it is killed by the butcher and prepared
just tiptop ;
It has to be fat, sir, and that without fail,
Or the owner can never make a very good sale.
Old cows and old oxen certainly never would do,
For we'd never be able their tough beef to chew;
And what would be worse and the worst thing of all,
We might kill oureelves knooking our heads t� the
wall.
Mr. Ritohle, the president, knows Piet the tight way
To transact this great business right every clay ;
You be sure of your beef without dirt or bone,
That is dressed at the beef stall of 3 ohu Yohon.
Now the winter is over, we'll j ,in hands and sing,
And will all live in love around the beef ring,
We are sure to thrive on potatoes and soon,
And a ohmic of fat beef dressed by Mr. Yokoa.
For 'the beef that these peddler t peddle around,
They are sure to charge eight and ten cents per
pound,
To try to chew io would break a man's heart,
Wed need two ycke of oxen to pullit apart.
These pedlars are Sootoemen, Ilish • and Dutch,
They peddle some good beef, but not very much
If a customer proves for to be a hard owe,
They leave a big chunk of fat beef at his place.
Between beef from the beef ring, and cheeae from
the vat,
There is nothing to hinder all hands to get fat;
I have laughed and laughed till my sides are quite
sore,
At the fat time we're having round the town of
Behrore.
lPower of' the Scotch Bagpipes.
The influence of music on valour is pro -
i
ounced. It has been held that in action a
good piper is often as valuable as a good
general, so far at least as Scotch troops are
poncerned. The skirl of the pipers, says
the Aberdeen Free Press, lashes the Scotch
'blood into fury, and is worth a score of arti-
ficial stimulants that give but Dutch cour-
age. The slogan, too—or war-cry—which
accompanies the charge of our infantry with
the bayonet, is a spur that hardly ever fails
to send the men to victory. It Wes the
lolood like a trumpet." During the battles
'of the "forty-five" the Highland slogans did
much to contribute to the series of victories
which Prince Charlie won with such bril-
liancy. The Highlands, is indeed, the home
of the slogan. In the old times, when per-
petual feud was waged, each elan had its
own war -cry, and when, drunk with the

The Rights of a Young Wife.

Ashmore, writing in the June Ladies Home
ournal of " What to Expect from a Young
Man.". , "But sometimes, in his eagerness
to make all life fair to her,
he fancies she is

The Tumble in Bicycles.
The bicycle. has by no Means reached the
climax of its popularity.' The - wheel, in
fact, has only got a decent start in the con-
test which will terminate in its final apoth-
eosis. Unless something better takes its
place, the bicycle will soon become as nec-
essary a part Of the htiman mechanism ai
the leg itself. .The only reason why the leg
is more popular than tha.bicycle is the feet
that a pair of good legs cost nothing,' where,
as a hundred good dollirs have up till very
recently, been.% sine qua non Of proprietor-
ship in a wheel. But there has been a de-
cided tumble in the price of wheels. The
tumble was first noticable in the low grades,
which have been offered at from $25 up-
wards. Now the public is informed that
the so- called high-grade wheel has succumb-
ed to the popular demand for lower prices.
A cut of 25 per cent. in the priee of high-
grade wheels was announced in New York
on Tuesday. A New York paper thus re-
fers to the tumble in prices: "No effective

The San Jose Scale.
The San Jose scale—pronounced as if
spelled "San Usay"—is, as its name denotes
a child of the glorious climate of California.
When we first heard about this pernicious
pest, the statement was made that it could
not survive a- winter's frost north of the
great lakes, - but recently it has beeh found
in several orchards in the -Niagara Peniu-
sulaeand there is danger of its spreading to.
the Western Ontario orchards if the utmost
watchfulness is not exercised. The Beale,
indeed, is found adapting itself to different
'climatic conditions. The country gentle-
man informs us that it has been found in the
mountainous regions of Virginia at a height
of 2,000 feet; it has been found in Western
New York, and as far north as Canada. It
infests all decidious fruit trees—peaches,
pears, plums, apples, quinces and the orna-
mentals that . belong to this class; also the
black walnut, our common American chest-
nut, both the American and European bud -
ens, the cataipa, the Lombardy popular, the
Carolina popular, and the cut -leaf birch.
At present there is no case on record where
the scale has spread by means of fruit. -
The original home of the scale in the
Milled States was California. How it got
to the Eastern States and thence to Canada
is a pertinent question, and nurserymen
answer that it came on nursery stock from
the.Pacific coast, which proves .the necessity
of greater vigilence in the purchase of such
supplies. It is now found in nineteen states
on the Atlantic coast, in adjacent states in.
land and in a nu.mbar of orchards between
Hamilton and the Niagara river. In a re-
cent address at the Virgina Experiment
Station, Professor, Alwood said that for
five or six years it was spreading on the
eastern half of this continent in the nurser-
ies and orchards before anyone had the first
inkling that there was a San Jose scale this
side of Califoraia except in insect cabinet.
It is now four year since the first case was
known, and it is only during the last eight-

running with the stook, each calf bOng
given the same brand as that borne
the cow it is followi4g. To look up an
these cattle it will be necessary to ride
over a section of country about 136
miles long and 90 miles wide, covering
approximately 12,000 square miles.
Lave Stook Points.
Among the leading beef breeds will
be found in, any given herd cows yield-
ing sufficient mirk to supply the fami-
lies of their owners' with milk, butter
and oream. In England even the Here-
fords are considered very good general
purpose cows.
At auction sales of live stock there
are too frequently bogus bidders who_
do not want to buy tanimals at all, but
merely want to run the price up, and it
As a humiliating fact for honest breed-
ers to swallow that these fellows are
sometimes in league, with- the auction-
eer or even the owner of. the animals.
Now, without mincing matters, this
bogus bidding is dishonest and only
brings disrepute oU auction live stook
aales in general. In every case where
such. fraud is pradieed the right thing
to do -is to' leave the anithal on the
hands of the bogiaa bidder and make
him take it.
The mari who *pares to sell his
stook at auction should beforehand fix
for each, animal a price below which he
will not let it go. 'unless the sum bid
teaches at least that amount then let
the animal be withdrawn, but bogus
bidding—never.
Old sows are fond to be best for
breeding. Managed right, they will pro-
duce tw'o litters a year.
Do not feed brood sows too much
corn after they have weaned a litter. It
makes them fat and feverish. Their
food should be bulky and not too high-
ly concentrated. ;
Count the teats On a young sow that
you intend to keep for breeding pur-
poSes. Unless the number is equal to a
large litter fatten that animal and sell
her for meat. • •
' Wherever there iS a corn cannery there
is a -grand place to fatten beeves. The
corn is cut from the cob, and the cobs
and husks are thrown in a great heap out-
side the cannery. The outside of this
• huge heap turns b4ok- to a deptlrof six to
eight inches. Theresrforms the most
perfect and delicieus silage that can be
feel to an animal. This green corn refuse,
with a feed of bay once a day, will turn
a steer into sweet, fat beef quicker than
almost anv et her feed on record.
ll'he Eastern Tenderfoot Has Little Idea
What It Is Like.
eAll along tho,Av stern borders of
South Dakota the round up campfires
burn brightly. Fareto the west, bound-
ed only by the snowcapped Rockies,
hundreds of mess wagons staked camp
last night. The Missouri river marks
the eastern border of the great western
ranges.In Dakote_ alone* least 1,500
idei are engage a in rounding up cattle
and branding the calf crop. Twenty-
fivb. outfits have' planned and laid out
theik routes, and at least six weeks of
continuons riding,Will be necessary to
do the vvOrk. Fifty:to 60 riders will fol-
low each wagon or outfit.
The mita consists of the mess wag-
on, drawn- by four or six horses, loaded
down with provisions necessary to feed
its crew; the bed wagon, containing all
the bedding and camp equipments; the
horse wrangler, who takes charge of
the bunch of horses to be used in the
work, usually consisting of 200 to 300
horses. These horses are moved with
the camp, and whenever a rider wants
a fresh horse he throws a rope into the
bunch and brings out his animal. Then
follows the scene of "bucking" and
plunging, for often the broncho has to
be "busted" before he can be used on,
the work. Camp is moved every day, Or
at least every second day, from five to
eight miles- along the route. Every
'morning the line rider foreman leaves
camp with his crew of riders and takes
a course at right angles with the route.
Every half mile or mile he starts a cou-
ple of riders to ride parallel with the
route, to throw in all the cattle they,
find toward the route and camp. After
live or mix lines are started out the fore-
man takes the balance of the riders and
• swings around in front to drive alr the
bunches gathered toward camp, coming
in for dinner.
In -the afternoon the same course is
adopted in the opposite direction, and
both sides of the canip are worked. The
cattle gathered are all thrown into one
bunch, which is known as the "cavvy,"
and are moved along with the camp.
Calves are branded each day, and every
one is branded the same brand as its
mother, no matter where or who the
owner may be.This part of the work. is
done with the greatest pare, and every
-
cowboy is faithful to this trust.
Whenever 4,000 or 5,000 cattle are in
the "cavvy," and while cattle are -On
their own ranges; the work of "cutting
out" is carried on. 'In this the peculiar
skill and ability of the cowboy are drawn
ciut, and only,men of well known ex-
pertness with brands and cattle are de-
tailed to do this work. The cutting
horse must learn his part as well as the
rider. He must be able to turn about
as quickly and on less ground than any
other and dodge the attacks of the wild-
/ est steer with as much ease and grace
as the circus horse.. The rider dashes
into the "oavvy" and separates the cat-
tle of each particular brand belonging
on the range they are paining over. lie
drives his animal to the outside of the
bunch and dashes back after another.
On the outOtle are a number of riders
who drive thfese cattle off to the owner.
Each brand held, in this way is driven
back on its own ranch, for these range
oattIe become located. This is called
"wOkixtg the cavvy," and the main
bunah is pushed ahead until everybody's
oattt are put out atuithe calves branded.

Tidal Waves.
Though the greatest and most re-
markable phenoraenco pertaining to the
surface of the sea is the tidal wave, sci-
entific authorities acknowledge that it
still presents some unexplainable anom-
alies. It is demonstrated, however, -that
the movement is made up of many
waves dependent upon, different func-
tions of the mdon and sun, some being
semidiurnal, some diurnal. The timed
transit over the; meridian and the decli-
nation of both bodies create great vari-
ations. The changing distance and posi-
tion -of the peon and the position of
her node also, have immense effect,
while the ever varying.direction and
force of the winds and the different
pressure of the atinospkers play their
part. An interestibg fact in this rela-
tion is that .oloservatiens all over the
world show no plaoe where the tidal
movement is se regular and simple as
around the British islands—a fact more
remarkable when it is known that the
tides on the other side of the Atlantic,
as for instance, at Nova Scotia, are
very complicated, the unexplafnable
case here being that the.minor tides,
which in most parts of the world, when
combined in oue direction; amount to a
very considerable fraction of the prin-
cipal lunar and solar tides, and conse-
quently greatly increase or diminish
their effects, are, in Great Britain so in-
significant that their influence is tri-
tling.—New York Sun.

A Rat In a Tomb.
A queer story is told of a naturalist
who died itt 1860 and was buried at
Blankney, in Lincolnshire. Among his
pets was a large gray bat.
This bat was permitted to enter the
tomb and was sealed up alive with the
corpse of his dead master.. In 1868 the
vault was ppened, and to the surprine
of all the bat Was aliveand fat.
On four different occasions sines the
relatives of the dead man have looked
sifter the welfare of his pet, and each
time it has been reported that the bat
was still in the land of the living, al-
though ocoupying quarters- with the
dead. It was pot seen in 1892.—Pear-
