HERE AND THERE.
It's not where a man now stands that
really counts; it's how far he has come,
and the obstacles he has passed on the
way.
Happiness does'ne live at the end of
the road; she's a gypsy, wandering
with us unseeen: ready at our call to
share with us her gladness,
When one's judgment tells him that
a thing is wrong he doesn't need any
further advice, nor will he seek it save
to justify wrong -doing.
Love for one's country, political
party, or church, is of a mighty low
sort when its highest expression is hate
of the man from the other country,
party or church.
To love one's neighbor se oneself is
easy when one is single and she is good
looking. .
Let's declare war against bad air,
bad weeds, bad associates, bad living,
and demand unconditional surrender in
the naive of Generals Good Health and
Right Living.

WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP?
Why do you like your friend? If you
answered this question honestly per-
haps you would say, "Because it is too
much trouble to atop." The friendship,
the intimacy, has become a habit and it
should be as much trouble to break it
off as to change anything else in our
manner of life. This is not mere cyni-
cal selfishness. Of course you do like
your friend. No friendship endures for
long without some sincere regard on both
sides.
But what are the causes of the re-
gard? Perhaps a certain similarity in
position, in tastes. For, after all,
among grown up persons friendship
cannot be active without some such
conditions. You may once have been
the dearest friend with somebody who
is now much richer or much poorer than
you. The affection still endures. But
you are not really friends. It is prac-
tically impossible to share each other's
interests, the accidents of each other's
life.
You may say, if you choose, that
friendship is a spiritual thing, an affair
of the soul, and that is true, but not
all truth. It is merely playing with
words to pretend that people remain
friends when they see almost nothing of
each ether. For friendship, like every
thing else worth having, is essentially
active.

RECKLESS EATING,
There is an amusing story of a visit
that a great suffer er trom chronic
dyspepsia made to a celebrated phys-
ielan The physician lied a huge empty
punch bowl at his elbow. Presently
the butler entered, and poured a cock-
tail into the bowl. As the patient talk-
ed he saw the butler put one article
after another into the bowl. When he
had finished, the bowl was half full; it
held oysters, bread, butter, salted al-
monds, soup, fish, cucumbers, celery,
two or three vegetables, chicken,
champagne. bonbons, assocted fruits,
cekes, ice cream, cheese, and coffee.
When the patient had come to the
end of his own aches and pains, the
physician gravely led him to the bowl,
and said, "This is your stomach after
a full dinner; can you wonder that it
is often uncomfortable, and finally re-
bels against you?"
It would be well if every so-called
"good liver" thought more of the bur-
den he puts on that long-suffering and
faithful slave, his stomach. Such a
man is a good liver only in the sense
that he eats good food -in many cases
the very best that can be had. But he
eats far ton much and too often, and
he mixes his food unwisely even reck-
lessly. Although he may long seem to
be free from any ill results, the reckon-
ing will surely come.
That is especially true of those who
insist on a rich and copious diet and
neglect to take enaugh exercise to
keep the body free of its waste prod-
ucts. Healthy persons who live much
in the open air, and who follow regular-
ly some form of physical exercise that
obliges them to breath deeply and keep
the blood stream properly oxygenated,
can eat hearty meals that would mean
ill health or even death to one who
lives a sedentary life.
Too many men break down prema-
turely, before they are sixty; it is usual
to attribute such cases to the stress of
modern business life. No doubt over-
work and overanxiety are to blame for
part of the trouble; but it is often the
case that these men, after an athletic
and vigorous adolescence, have per-
mitted themselves to fall into habits of
physical sloth. They take street cars
when they ought to be in the bowling
alley, buy a mot'ir when they had
better build a tennis court, and all the
time they add to the richness, and pro-
fusion of the table -because they "can
afford it," and sometimes because eat-
ing has actually become their chief
means of recreation. But over -eating,
like every other form of excess, carries
with it the seeds of inevitable and
severe disease.

NEED FOR CARE
An item w hich appeared in the Tor-
onto Nevis of May 26th related how ,an
aged farmer of Woodbridge, Ont., had
been victimized to the extent of $29,000.
by investing in worthless stocks under
promise of big dividends. The item re-
ferred to, recalled to mind the fact that
within the last 3 years many thousands
of hard earned money was sent West by
the people of Carrick and Mildmay and
invested in Real Estate, at the solicita-
tion of glib tongued agents, who prom-
ised big profits to investors. We have
heard of instances where properties
were mortgaged to raise money to invest
while it is true that our West at present
is dead, so far as city Real Estate is con.
cerned, yet with a good crop or two,
conditions will right themselves, and
those who have invested wisely will
come out right, yet we believe that
much of the property will never bring
anything like the amount paid for it, and
investor's stand to lose heavily. We
imagine that Carrick will prove a poor
stamping ground for real estate agents
in the future. Hard learned lessons of
this kind should make people wary and
careful as to investments, yet now and
then promoters of various enterprises,
all promising huge dividends, appear on
the scene and gather in considerable
money to be invested in their pet en-
terprises, many of which are of a vet
doubtful character, and usually the on.y
individuals likely to be benefitted, at
the promotors themselves. Is it not

They work completely, no griping
whatever, and one is plenty for any
ordinary person at a dose. My wife
was aniartyrtiConstipation. We tried
everything on the calendar without
satisfaction, and spent large sums of
money until we happened on "Fruit-

their favor.
We have used them in the farnily for
about two years and we would not use
anything else as long as we can get
"Fruit -a -tires".
Tlleii action is mild, and no distress

HOW PINS ARE MADE
To make a pin is an intricate process,
but it is all done by machinery. A
spool of brass wire running on steel
posts is fed into jaws which bite off the
length of the pin. A small length is
left to make the head, which is form-
ed by three rapid blows of a hammer
which moves forward one -twentieth of
an inch at each blow. The pin then
drops to an incline in which are groves
deep enough to admit the shank, but
not the head. As the pin moves down
its point comes in contact with a cylin-
der with a file like surface, which
causes the pin to turn round so that it
issherpened on all sides. It next d"ops
into a receptacle where a layer of pins
is placed, and then a layer of finely
ground tin until the pan is filled. Heat
and a chemical solution coats the pins
with tin. They are then polished in a
barrel revolving rapidly. They
are then placed in the papers
by a machine, which seizes the paper
and crimps it into divisions as wide as
the length of the pins. The bottom of
rhe box is made of square steel bars
which allow the shanks but not the
t heads of the pins to pass through. ' The
bars are in motion, thus shaking down
the pins until a row is formed, when
they are clamped in place by the bars.
A fold of paper is pushed up against
them and pressed into place, This is
repeated until the paper is full, when
another takes its place. It all sounds
intricate, but being done by machinery it
rapid and cheap, else we could not have
the billions of pins that we waste.

HUGE BASINS OF CONCRETE.
Into These the Vessels Aro Floated and
Shored Up as the Gates Aro Closed
and the Water Pumped Out --Floating
Docks and How They Are Used.
'There la uo such thing as a perfect
uuti•fouling compositiou, and probably
there never will be.
By "anti -fouling" we mean a solu
tion which, applied to the bottom of a
ship, will keep her clean for an indeli.
cite period.
True, vessels can uow keep the sea
for months on end without getting foul
enough to seriously diminish their
speed, bu't to the long run their bot.
tons become weed grown, and they
aro obliged to go into drydock and be
scraped and cleaned and repainted.
In old days, when warships were no
larger than the steam launches which
now hang on a Dreadnought's davits,
the seamen did this work themselves.
They ran the galley on to some con-
venient beach, hauled her out, tipped
her on one side on the sand, scraped
her and caulked her seams,
Even in the eighteenth century Cap-
tain Cook "careened" his vessel in a
tidal creek on the Australian coast and
did necessary repairs. The enormous
warships of today require very differ-
ent handling, and it is for their use
that dockyards are fitted with "dry"
or "graving;" looks of vast dimen-
sions.
A drydock Is a huge basin excavated
hi the ground. It is lined first with
masonry of immense thickness. and
this in turn is coated with thousandti
of tons of concrete.
The first great requisite of a dry-
dock is to be dry, and as it is always
cut in low, swampy ground, with the
bottom far below low tide mark, this
is ,the great difficulty before its build-
ers.
The bottom is quite flat. The sides
run lip in steps -enormous steps, each
about a yard high, not the sort of stair
case to run down in a burry.
These steps are known as "altars,"
and they have twe separate purposes -
first for supporting. the workmen's
scaffolds, the second and more impor-
tant for the fixing of the "shores."
Shores are the great balks of titnber
which hold a vessel upright in drydock.
A drydock does not usually open
straight out of the sea or harbor. More
often there is a wet dock between.
The reasons are that a vessel can then
be docked at any state of the tide and
also that there is less pressure on the
great watertight gates of the drydock.
The actual process of docking in dry-
dock is simple enough, The drydock
is filled with water. the ship is floatel
in. the gates close behind her; then the
I water is pumped out by tneans of pow
erful steam pumps,
Along the bottom of the dock runs in
a straight line a row of keel blocks on
1 which the keel of the vessel rests. As
the water is pumped away an army of
workmen fix the shores in position.
This is a task which requires great
care. Not so very long ago an 8,000 ton
cruiser which was being drydocked at
one of the southern dockyards in Eng.
laud was so carelessly shored up that
she slipped and toppled over.
The damage was appalling. The hull
of the ship was badly injured. It cost
many thousands of pounds to repair
her.
There are also floating graving docks
There is one at Portsmouth with an
area of two and one-quarter acres and
a lifting capacity of 02,000 tons. It is
700 feet long and 1.4 feet wide. Its
cost, was £26.1,000.
The beauty of n floating dock(is that
if a vessel is badly damaged the dock
can go to the ship instead of the ship
to the dock. Also even if the ship is
heeling over, so that she could not be
passed through the gates of a stone
dock, the floating dock can take her.
The floating dock is simply a large
cradle built in a series of watertight
compartments which can be filled or
emptied at will. It was invented by
George Rennie in 1800. By means of
a floating dock a large warship can be
raised high and dry within three hours.
Aboard, life goes on as usual, while
the sailors' floating home stands shored
up in dry dock. Her decks are just
about level with the top of the sides,
but between them and firm ground
yawns a chasm at least forty feet deep
During wartime the work of clean-
ing and repainting the under part of
the hull goes on night and day, and n
job that usually takes a fortnight mny
be completed within four or even three
days. Pearson's Weekly.

VALUE OF CROP ROTATION»
1''o real friend of. agricuiture
advocates the heedless raising of
things. That has ruined too much
good land in this country lu the
past. It is wasting the fertility
of many acres now, But raising
things by good farming is a dit-
ferent proposition, because it re-
quires the iriututeurince of the
means of raisiug them. The first
essential to e good system of
farming is a crop rotation, the
nest proper and protititble use of
the products. A prevailing erop
rotation Is usually the result of
the past experience of the farm-
ers of the locality, uud it should
not be ligbtly discarded. But It
may have become a sort of hale
it. It might be much improved.
This is worth thinking about.
1s the rotation followed the best
possible one? Could it be chang-
ed with benefit to the farm anti
farmer? What have been the
effects of the past system on the
land and on its present capacity
to produce good crops? -National

ADVICE FOR PEACH GROWER.
Federal Bulletin Tells Him About Lo-
cation of Orchard, Soil, Etc.
In at least thirty-nine of our forty-
eight states there aro peach interests
of commercial importance, according
to a recent United States farmers'
bulletin. No. 031, of the department on
gt'owing peaches. This bulletin is the
first of three on the general subject of
peach growing, which will treat of
fundamental orchard operations. It
gives much valuable information to
the fruit grower. The questions of
site, propagation, plaufing, tillage ane
soil fertility are treated in the first
bulletin.
In locating a peach as well as any
other orchard other advantages must
be considered besides the natural ones
of climate and soil. If an orchard is
too remote from a shipping station, too
far away from a suitable market, or
located where ice for refrigerator cars
cannot be conveniently supplied, it
mai .fat i .t 4ssible t0 grow peaches
there profitably.
Peaches may do well on a wide
range of soil types, including even
some' of the moderately heavy clay
loams and clays. But, whatever the
type, a soil must be thoroughly well
drained to be suitable for peaches.
They will not succeed on poorly drain-
ed soils. It follows that the heavy
clay types which are so hard and im-
pervious that water does not percolate
through them readily are to be avoid-
ed as a rule. Moreover, a soil should
be moderately fertile. One very rich
in nitrogen is not to be desired as a
general rule, since it is likely to in-
duce an excessive growth of foliage.
On the other hand. the impression
which is somewhat common that a
poor, unfertile soil is ".good enough
foe peaches" is erroneous,
In districts in which alkali soils oc-
cur sites should lie selected with a
view to avoidiug them. While the
peach tree can be grown where those
a, a limited amount of alkali .saitg.,
tua;y cause disaster if present in large
quantities. It is safer therefore to
avoid them as far as possible.
Asa general proposition a site that
is elevated considerably above the sur-
rounding area is to be preferred for a
peach orchard. Relative elevation is
generally of greater importance than
actual elevation above sea level.
Egg Collector.
Hens need a dau'k place to lay in, so
it is convenient to build a small house
for them within a barn or abed. Rut
it is always difficult to get the eggs
out of such a laying coop, if it is buil;
economically. To overcome this ob-
stacle a series of <'hutes, all leading
to the same padded pan, has been ar-
ranged. Each nest .is connected to the
main shoot and each has a hole in the
bottom of it and when an egg is laid
it rolls down to the "egg room" of the
laying coop. A small door into the
"egg room" can be opened and the eggs
taken out without trouble. If the
chutes are carefully made there need
be no danger of the eggs breaking on
the way. -Technical \Corld.
To Grow Head Lettuce.
A successful grower says a liberal
quantity of sand in the garden helps
greatly with head lettuce. If the soil
is clay or silt it is entirely practicable
to board in an area of a few square
yards and then haul a load of sand to
mix with the soil in this plot, The
same ground may be used year after
year for head lettuce. Decayed ma-
nure should also be used with freedom
en this ground.
Grazing a Tonto For Horses.
Don't coniine the work horses in the
stable stalls at night. Early in the
season provide for a good Sized lot
:nto tahich to turn them atter they re,
ceive their grant and small amount of
roughage. There's nothing in the
world to equal grazing as a tonic and
general condltioper.

with a certain dear old lady, who lives
in two rooms, is decidedly poor, and
neither entertains nor is entertained in
the social sense of the word Usually
is "at home" and her friends always
feel perfectly free to run up the flight
of stairs leading to her pretty sitting -
room, knock at her door and say in the
most barefaced fashion, "My dear Miss
Brown, I've come for a cup Of tea."
' And how gladly she gives it to her
callers, and what a good cup of tea it
always is! Cake? No, there is not any
cake, unless you have sent a line to say
you were coming. But there is daintily
cut bread and butter and fragile china;
there is a "comfy" chair to sit in, and
I beyond everything else, there is a wel-
come, asincere, unostentatious welcome
Of course, when tea is desired the old
lady's friends might go into a tea shop.
But any woman who spends a gteet
deal of her time "getting about," and
knows the uneasiness resultant upon
constant contact with strangers, will
understand why many of h#r r .ends
, prefer to accept dear Miss Brown's
standing, but not idle, invitation, t i
drop in just when you like.
Would that there were more et ,,;,r
kind in these times of vagues and hur-
' ried hospitality.
