Farm and City Life. In the country schools out West charts nee in use whieh show in one piature the farmer, who is presumably uneducated, saeinging a hand scythe at $18 a month, While another shows the well dressed sales- man selling gingham at $40 per month, and a third shows,the book-keeper at bis desk esaily obtainik $200 per month. Superin- tendent Bright, of Chicago, has called atten- tion to the falsity and folly of this mode of teaching, and no wonder. The farmer lad eeOW runs a mowing machine instead of ening a hand scythe, and if he gets $18 per month, he has his board and lodging in ad- dition, and if his clothing is not as nice as that of the clerk, it costs less and leaves nen a chance to save most of his wages. The elerk, at $40 per month, pays out mond $32 for his bearcl, lodging and laun- dry, and has hard work to save enough in a year to purchase the clothing that his em- ployers expect him to wear at his business, and there are few book-keepers Who get te(n! a month or the half of that. Such false ideas of fatale lite and Of .oity life have often been advanced by those who thought they were working in the interest of educe - cation, but there is plenty of use for educa- tion an the farm, and all of earthly happi- ness is not found in fine clothing, nor in a six -by -eight room in a boarding-house, svhere style is aupposed to take the place of plenty and comfort, and flashy acquaint- anoes are more common than friends. If the young men and women like the farm let • diem stick to it, and when they have learn- , ed farming well, along with their other kerning, they need to envy no man, though bis salary is ten times $200 a month.—Lon- don Free Press. -To Cure a Cold in One Day.

Could you spare me a trifle, mister?" "I'm deaf," repled the gentleman, "so you'd better write down what you have to say. Here's a pencil and a piece of paper." "Deaf, is he?" thought the beggar. Then - he didn't hear about the paralysis," so he writes down : "I've got a wife and six children starving at home, mister. I've been out of work for six months and am in a dreful atilt° of destertuahun." He handed the paper to the gentleman, who said : "1 thought you said you were paralyzed in both hands and couldn't grasp anything? And yet you can write." "Didn't you say you were deaf ?" etam- mered the beggar, who now really did feel paraly zed. " Yea ; just to find out if you were an imposter, which you are, as I auspected," replied the gentleman. n Well, of all the miserable old frauds you are the biggest," exclaimed the beggar. "Tho idea of you saying you was deaf, and trin' to impose on a poor feller." And he ehutlied off sniffiog with righteous indignation. Rheumatic Warped Limbs. Mrs. H.

A mole on the right cheek or right arm, our grandmothers beleived, signifies happa nese in love affairs ; on the right hand, a happy marriage. A mole on the left cheek or left arm sig- nifies adverae fortune, particularly as re- gards love affairs; on the left, hand, an unfortunate (from the worldly point of view) marriage. Moles on the right cheek or arm in com- bination, with one or more on the left hand, point to more good fortune in love affairs than in money matters. A mole at the corner of the right eye predicts a rich and indulgent husband. A mole on the right side of the chin shows good fortune, long life and a happy marriage. A mole on the chin, if it be light yellow odor, shows a woman to be a good house wife; if brown in color, it portends a happy married life, but troublesome children. A mole en the tip of the nose shows to a woman likelihood of much admiration and jealous lovers, in her dealings with whom she is recommended to exercise great caution and discretion. A mole at the right hand corner of `the mouth warns the possessor to beware of treachery and a felse SOIW, ALL OVER. Back Sore, Head Sore, Hands -Sore—The Terrible Experience of Mrs. Rousseau, of Ottawa. Onrseret, Ont., June 3—(Specian—The following written statement, made and signed by Mrs. J. William :Rousseau, of 10 Flora Street, this city, shows what some women can go through, and yet live :— "1 have been ailing for three years. My back was dreadfully sore. My head ached all the time. My hands were swollen and very painful. "1 cannot tell the pains I endured. No worth; can describe my torture. "I used Dodd's Kidney Pills—three boxes altogether—and I am well.

The leading directors of one of the man- ufacturing corporatione of Lowell, Meese- chusetts, had decided that it would be for the iaterest of the stockholders to out down the wages of the operatives, and one of the magnatea went up from Boston to see about IL He called firat upon the agent of one of ths principal mills, whom he found in his office, and opened the subject. The agent listened and shook his head. Re did not think it would be advisable to cat dome the wages -without corresponding- ly reducing the hours of labor. "By the way," he said, chewing at that Moment to glance oub of the window, " here comes Molly Pritohard. She is a leader among the operativea. Her opinion might be worth something." Molly was aceordingly called into the office, and as she watt very pretty and seem- ed modest, thegentleman from Boston bowed politely and smiled. And then the gentlemanly director stated to leer tie case, and asked her if she did hot think, under the circumets.nces, that tbe girls would listen to reason, and submit to a reduction of wages. Molly said ehe could only speak positively for herself. " Well, querried the director, " what do you say for yourself?" " D'ye mean to ask me, Mr. Appleton, if go into that mill again, and work for less wages than Pm getting now ?" " That is what I would ask you, Miss Pritchard." - Mollene look was defiant.

Mr. Appleton returned to Boston and re- ported that it was not advisable to cut down wages at that time. Now I Feel Real Well. Mr. W. H. La Blanca, Bonfield, Ont., writes "1 was once a sufferer from catarrh, and while using Dr. Chase's Catarrh Cure, I was recommended t.) use also Dr_ Chase's Nerve Food to build up the system. My nerves were exhausted, and I was too weak to do day' e work when I began uiing.. it, and 'now am strong and healthy, and feel real well. I am per- fectly sure that anyone who u3es Dr. Chase* Nerve Food will believe as I do, that it is the best itrength- ener and reetorative obtainable. Developed His , True Nature. There was a young man who loved a beautdful maiden, but he was poor. Oae day he asked her to be his wife, and she answered : "1 love you. Still Ido not wish to be a poor man's wife. and g et money and then return and ' we'll live happily ever after." The young man went away and ere long began to sway the markets. He made mil- lions, and the maiden waited. When the man had ten millions he want- ed to outshine the other who had fifty mil- lions, and when that wish was gratified he' longed for a hundred millions, and at last set a billion up as the amounthe wished to aocumulate. When one day in those parts, a certain old maid lay dying, she KO : "There's no use expecting a hog to keep his mind on anything else after he gets his feet in the trough."

There was an amusing instance at a, north county police court the other day of the case with which one may get into trouble by having too mueli to say. . One clerk night a rent collector had been waylaid, stunned by a blow on the head, and robbed of a bag containing a goolly sum of money. . - Unfortunately a young fellow. was arrest- ed and charged with the crime. He stoutly, maintained his innocence, and was new en- deanering to set up an alibi. Delpite the efforts:of-hie counsel to keep him quiet, the prisoner constantly inter- runeted while the prosecutor was giving evidence. In the end he interrupted once too often. "How much did younay was in the nag ?" the prosecutor was asked. , - , o " Pin not. quite sure," was the repine "but I should say there would be over 17 pounds."

They are easy to take and never gripe. • --The standing committee of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in Canada held a meeting in Toronto recently.

One is sometimes startled at the diecovery of a new and most disagreeable force in a single word, when that word is applied to himself to characterize some unpleasant fact of whioh he has long been aware. "Don't call me fleshy," said a lady of meg. nifieant proportions. ' I don't object to my size, but I simply can't bear to hear that word !" , Another woman has not the least desire to marry, but can't endure to be called a "spinster." Not long ago a pretty woman in the thirties announeed her intention of taking a somewhat extended trip alone, and ended with the remark, "An old maid like me doesn't need an escort." Then Marjorie, the -little maid of the family burst into a torrent of tears. • "You're not an old maid, auntie !" she wailed. " You're not. I can't bear it !" But I am, Marjorie," said her aunt, laughing. "Why, it's a nice thing to be. I like it.'

This gentleman knows by the feel and appearance of wool just how and where it was grown, and by examining a fleece he will tell in what country it was grown, what the condition of the animal was, in health or sickness, during the growth of that fleece, and during which month of the year the animal suffered from illness. If the fiber of the fleece is short or long, fine or coarse, weak or strong, so may the health of the animal be judged. Any- thing that weakens the vitality of the animal affects the fiber qf the wool. The animal may have been well in the autumn and early winter. In midwinter It may lose flesh for some reason and then fatten toward spring. In such a case the wool shows marked structural weakness. The fiber will be weak about the center. Again, if the sheep is ill from any cause, in the autumn the weak place in the fiber will be near the tip. If the ill- ness was during the spring, the weakness will be nearer the roots. When such wool is woven into cloth, you can understand how slight strains would break the fiber and cause the cloth to stretch. Thus, you see, the illness of the sheep affects more than the animal. • HAS A THIRST FOR BLOOD. Instances of the Ferociousness of the Common. Weasel. The weasel is the boldest and most bloodthirsty of our small auhoals; indeed, none of our larger beasts is more so, says Sohn Burroughs. There is something devilish and uncanny about it. It persists like fate; it eludes, but it cannot be eluded. The terror it inspires in the smaller creatures—rats, rabbits, chip- munks—is pitiful to behold. A rat pur- sued by a weasel ha 4 been known to rush lute a room, utter dismal cries and seek. the protection of a man in bed. A woman in northern Vermont discov- ered that something was killing her hens, often on the nest. She watched for the citlprit and at last cauglit a weasel in the act. It had seized the hen and refused to let go when she tried to scare it away. Then the woman laid hold of it and tried choking it, when the weasel released its hold upon the hen and fastened its teeth into her hand between the thumb and forefinger. Silo could not choke it off and ran to a neighbor for help, but no one could remove it without tearing the flesh from the woman's hand. Tien some one suggested a pail of water. Into this the hand and weasel were plunged, but the creature would not let go even then and did not until it was drowned. A farmer one day heard a queer growl- ing sound on the grass. On approaching he sane two weasels contending over a -motine. Both had the mouse, pulling in opposite directions, and they were so On sorbed in the struggle that the farmer cautiously put his hands down and grab- bed them both by the backs of their necks. He put them In a cage and of- fered them bread and other food. This they refused to eat, but in a few days one of them had -eaten the other up, picking his bones clean and leaving nothing but the skeleton. - - The same farmer was one day in his cellar when two rats came .out of a hole near htm in great baste and ran up the cellar wall and along itstop until they came to a floor timber that stopped their progress, when they turned at bay and loolded excitedly back along the course they' had come. In a moment a weasel, evidently in hot pursuit of them, came out of the hole, but seeing the farmer check- ed .his course and darted back, The rats bad doubtless turned to giae him fight and would orobeinv have lit a match for him. She Apologiled. "Angelina,",.said the youth hotly as he entered the drawing room, "it remains for you to ea n whether our mutual friendship shall continue or be ended here at once." "What is the matter?" asked the beau- tiful girl, opening her lovely orbs to their widest extent. "Your father has just called me a stu- pid young Idiot." "And you want me to apologize for him?" "I do." "Then I cheerfully do it. Father is al- together too frank, and I have often told him that even the truth shouldn't al- ways be spoken."

A generous act is doubly blest, It helps to soothe.. some anxious brearst; And it- reacts with silent force If love controls the generous course.

It takes the ordinary telegraph pu- pil a long time to read infallibly the ticking of the sounder. An instru- ment has appeared, which is designed to simplify instructions in tele- graphy and to give in a compara- tively short time a complete know- ledge of the Morse alphabet. The onmigraph, as this instrument is called, consists of a base board, on which are - an ordinary key and sounder and a toothed disk. A spring contact adjacent to the wheel en- • gages the peripheral teeth of the disk. If the disk be rotated the spring contact is forced outwardly by the teeth, but drops back auto- matically, and thus makes and breaks the circuit. The experienced telegraph operator detecting these makes and breaks of the sounder, ree cognizes' them as the dots aid dashele of the Morse alphabet. A close in- spection of the disk reveals the fact that the teeth are so arranged as to spell the sentence "John quickly temporized five tow bags." If the disk be turned in a forward direction this sentence, thus oddly worded to include every letter of the alphabet, Is ticked off at the sounder; if rotate ed in the opposite direction the Nene tence will be . telegraphed baokwarde This disk: which is completely undet the control of the sttident, can Vs turned at any desired speed, thus giving him an admirable opp9rtunm ity of trying himself at all gentle II he is abt, a quick reader the pfitee tice can be taken at a elow rate awl gradually -worked up, until it reachet a speed that would try the most skill, ful operator.
