** I am so glad to be relieved of my torture*

there was no permanent abatement of the burn

Are you taking Simmons Liver Reg

want, and nothing but that. It ia the
same old friend to which the old folks
pinned their faith and were never dis

than Pills, never gripes, never weak

relief comes quick and sure, and one

Profits tn th Farm.
(Philadelphia Keeord.)
The profit is that left over after
all expenses are paid, which i
cludes rent or interest on land and
buildings, capital invested in stock,
labor and food, but the opportunity
offeied the farmer of selling his
own labor ia the form of some pro
duct must be considered as one of
the advantages. Where a farmer
makes only a small profit, but has
derived a fair sum for the labor be
personally bestowed, his gain is
greater than the actual profit. On
the farm the item of labor must be
considered according to its actual
cost as an expenditure. Though
the labor of the farmer himself is
au item of cost, and must be paid
for, yet he pays it to himself, and it
really is profit because of the em
ployment secured by him on the
farm. For that reason a small
farm, or a small flock or herd, will
always pay more, in proportion to
expenses incurred, than larger areas
* . - 'V. n n fP L *\t *

sonal supervision of the farmer or
the interest taken in the work per
formed by him will also add to the
gains because of the closer applica
tion given and the economy prac
ticed in every department. The
labor on the farm, therefore, is the
heaviest of all expenses, and it is
the principal standpoint from which
all profits must be estimated.
Expenses are reduced when the
yields are increased, because in
many instances it requires but lit
tle more labor to secure a large
yield than a small one, and ex
penses are also lessened when fer
tilizers are used to increase the
yield, because the cost of the fer
tilizers will be more than regained
as well as assist in securing greater
results from the labor. Labor can
not alone make a crop. The soil
must be fitted to derive the largest
possible product by the proper use
of plant food, which permits of the
application of labor to the best ad
vantage. Small farms can be made
to largely increase their yields
more easily and rapidly than large
areas, because the manure or fertili
zer can he concentrated instead of
spread over a wide surface at an
increased cost of labor for men and
teams; hence, proportionately, as
the yields increase the expense de
creases.
The profits and receipts from a
farm can not easily be computed
for a single year. Labor given this
season may bring in results for a
year or two after the work is done.
Manure on soms soils is lasting,
and the beneficial effects of some
fertilizers are more apparent the
•econd year than the first. A crop
of clover that gives a yisld as hay
may leave in the roots and seed
much valuable nitrogen as a sup
ply for some succeeding crop, all
of which lessen expenses in the fu
ture by reducing the proportiou of
manure or plant food that would
otherwise be required, with the
necessary labor. Profits on the
farm are, consequently, much
greater whGn the averages for sev-,,
eral years are compared, as each
year must bear its proportion of
expense, and a failure to secure a
profit this year may not be a loss,
because there may be a correspond
ing reduction of expense next year.
The best mode of reducing expenses
is to cultivate no more land than
can he kept up to its highest limit
of fertility so as to secure the larg
est yields possible.
The course of empire is not, after
all taking its way westward. It is
moving southward. Farmers from
Nebraska and other western states
are said to be turning their noses in
no small numbers from the wilds
of that section to the more favored I
clime ot \ irginia auii North Caroli
na. There is always room for them
there and plenty ot good,genial law
abiding society into the bargain
—Philadelphia Record.
Home Training.
(Philadelphia Times.)
The youth who is launched upon
the world without the advantages
of a good home t raining is placed at
a sad dis:.dVaniage o start with.
He will often give offense without
intending it and cause embairabS
rnent when lie means to please.
And the laws of etiquette are like
the laws of our country—every one
is supposed to know them and is
punished if he does anything to
break them. For this reason it is
proper tor a man to pay attention
to acquiring the art of etiquette,
and in one way it is more requisite
for him than it is for a woman, for
a nsau can never remain passive in
society but has a number ot active
duties to perform. Neither can he
pick up so many hints upon de
meanor as a woman can. He has
not tiie feminine gift of seeing
without appearing to look, of cover
ing a mistake almost before it is
made. He has no eye in the back
of hia head. Neither does he ap
pear capable of carrying on a con
versation while taking in every
thing that is going on around him.
Under these circumstances it is
plainly necessary that a man should
study etiquette. He cannot imbibe
the manners of society unconscious
ly, so iiis best plan is to find out ex
actly whatheis to do. Grace should
not be consciously attempted, but
when ease of manner is once ob
tained grace is very likely to fol
low.
A Slippery Night.
“Talk about slipping,” said Butch
Boylan. ‘‘We bad a lot of little Grant
engines on the Erie one time that were
just about the smartest and slipperiest
engines that ever was. They were four
wheel connected hard coalers, with the
cab on the running boards. One night
there was a fellow going east with one
of ’em and had a lot of switching to do
at the rolling mill in Paterson. Just as
ho got coupled up again and ready to go
it began to rain hard, and as soon as he
got the slack taken up and got the signal
from the flagman on the caboose he shut
liis cab windows. There’s a pretty hard
pull for a couple of miles out of Pater
son, going cast, and then you get to the
top of Lake View and let them run
themselves from the top down to Pas
saic bridge, where we all had to make
a dead stop. Well, the little fellow got
the little Grant hooked up and was go
ing along nice and thought he was in
luck that she didn’t slip more than she
did. It was so dark ho couldn’t see
much outside through the raiu, but
pretty soon the little Grant began to
rock and roll at a livelier gait, seemed
to be picking them right up, and he
knew he had pitched over the top of
Lake View, so he shut her off', and before
he could get the lever dropped down she
had stopped dead. That was a puzzler
to him, and he threw his window open
and stuck his head out in the rain, and
what do you suppose the matter was?”
The committee declined to do any sup
posing, and Butch went on: ‘‘Why, that
little Grant had stood right there in one
spot and slipped all the while he thought
he was getting up Lake View hill.
Hadn’t moved a car length!”—Locomo
tive Engineei'ing.
A Curious Find.
Mr. Bryce, well known as a publisher
in Glasgow, relates liow the late Mr.
Crowther of Manchester, a famous col
lector of rare books, asked him to re
publish an old seventeenth century vol
ume called “Essays on Several Subjects,
written by Sir Thomas Pope Blount,
London, 1091.” The copy which Mr.
Crowther had was so rare that he be
lieved only two others were in existence
—one in the British museum and the
other in the Bodleian library. “A
copy, ’ ’ he wrote, “ is of priceless value, ’ ’
and ho gave minute instructions as to
the care which must be taken of that
which he was sending. Tliinkipg, how
ever, that Mr. Crowther might be mis
taken as to the exceeding scarcity of
the book, Mr. Bryce advertised, and
after the lapse of several weeks he re
ceived notice that one could be had for
Is. Gd.
When the volume came, he hurried
to compare it with that of Mr. Crow
ther, which he had in his safe, and, to his
delight, he found it equally perfect, ex
cept that the contents pages were want
ing. On further examination he discov
ered that there were duplicate contents
pages in Mr. Crowther’s copy. So that
the mistake made by the binder of these
two volumes in 1691 was now rectified
by the chance coming together of the
two once more—the copy in which the
contents pages had been omitted and the
copy in which the missing pages had
been placed.—Good Words.
