A Shining Kxample.
"Doyou soc tlmt man on the oth
er side of the street?” asked tho
prohibitionist.
“Who is that one in rugs and
tatters?”
"Yea, 1 tell you his life is a les*
sou to drinkers. 1 was at college
with him, and he was ono of the
brightest, most able fellow there;
but he drank. lie had a friend
there who was a clever fellow, too,
and who never touched a drop.
There was considerable good nntur-
od riyalry between them as to who
should be at the head of the class.
During the first term the chances
were pretty equal. Tho drink
began to get more of a hold on this
one, and ho began to go downhill.
The Modern Farmer.
Fifty years ago commercial fer
tilizers, guano, gypsum, super
phosphate of lime, etc., were uns
known in the South. Drills and
reapers were scarcely heard of,
and were regarded simply ns cu
riosities. There was no such thing
as rotation of crops, the mowing of
clover or the use of green crops
for renovating the soil. Crop suc
ceeded crop until the soil ceased
to produce, and then the land was
abandoned, and turned out to
grow up in briars and broomsedgo.
Land was then so cheap and so
abundant that it required less to
purchase new land than to reclaim
old. This has all been changed.

“And where is he now?”
“Now! Ah—h’m—haw. 1—a—

And he walked hastily down the
street.—Brooklyn Eagle.
Unprejudiced Remarks.
People most careful of not step
ping on other people's toes often-
est have their own trampled upon.
It is a true saying that the roll
ing stone gathering no moss. Jt
is equally true that the one which
is always stationary gathers little
else.
Laughter is good medicine, but
some people so overdo the matter
of following the prescription that
he who hears them has a doubt as
to the truth of the old adage.
Some men who wrap themselves
in the cloak of self-righteousness
have scanty covering.
He who hugs a sorrow to his
heart crowds out of his lifo just so
much of God’s light and cheer.
Don’t waste too much time in
bewailing the Bins of others until
you are sure you are rid of your
own worst faults.
1 have seen some shaggy dogs
that were awfully ugly, but they
were friendly and I liked them.
The most beautiful people in this
world are not always the most
companionable and pleasant.
Men who wait for some tide of
popularity to carry them into
public favor usually make ship
wreck of their lives before they
reach any comfortable haven.—

Key to the Farm Treasure
Box.
Every farmer should try to
make a yearly improvement in his
practice, for without improve
ments in methods there will be no
increase in profits. Let the soils
be made a little better every year,
and the corresponding increase in
the yield of products will compen
sate three or four times the out
lay. On the other hand, if there
is a constant decrease in the fer
tility of the soil, the inability of
the farmer to improve his soil, by
reason of the decreased yield in
his crops, will keep him on tho
downward path. Study the soil.
Keep it in good heart by rotation,
clovering and manuring, and suc
cess is inevitable. These are the
keys with which to unlock the
farmer’s treasure box.—Southern
Farm Magazine.

A Millionaire’s Filteen Cent
Lunch.
John G. Johnson, famous law
yer of Philadelphia, multimillion
aire and owner of one of the most
famous art collections m America,
every working day walks from his
office ten blocks to a little restaur
ant, where the customers perch
on stools, tucks a paper napkin
into his collar, orders a bowl of
split pea soup and sliced white
bread, spends fifteen minutes eat
ing it and then pays 15 cents for
it.
Mr. Johnson lias a strong aver
sion to the camera and has never
eat for his photograph or given
permission to any one to take a
snap shot at him, although once
one photographer, after dodging j
him around for a week finally !
succeeded in securing a poor ex
posure.
Made the Flag Presentable.
One of our leading generals on
his return from the Philippines I
brought with him a flag all tatter- j
ed with bullets which lie had cap- ]
tured from the enemy and which j
he showed with pride to his family ,
and household.
Next morning this trophy was :
to be presented to the commander j
in chief. When he came to look
for the flag it was missing.
“Where is my Hag?” he cried in
consternation, “What has become !
of it?”
His wife brought it to him, with
a smile of proud satisfaction.
“I sat up all night and mended ,
it, and now it looks nearly as good 1
as new,” she said.—Springfield
(Mass.) Republican.
Why He Didn’t Marry.
Phil May, the English artist,
! whose death occurred recently,
worked in his youth on the bulle
tin of Sydney, Australia, says the
I Boston Post. Occasionally the
l young man would be assigned by
i the Bulletin people to the police
courts and from these assignments
he would bring back sketches, now
j humerous and now pathetic, that
were admirable.
! One of the best of the Bullet in
sketches hangs in the library of
Joseph Chamberlain. It portrays
a thin, hang-dog man i:i the pris
oners’ bar, talking ton very mild
| and sympathetic looking judge.
1 Mr. May’s story of the sketch is
that the prisoner had been dragged
! before the judge every few months
j for a number of years.
I “Your face is familiar here,”
1 the latter now said.
“It is, your honor—worse luck,”
J returned the prisoner,
j “Are you married yet?”
“Not yet, sir.”
“Not yet, eh? How long is it
now that you have been engaged?”
“Seven years, your honor.”
So long as that? Why in the
world havn’t you got married in
all that time?”
“Bccauso, your honor,” the
prisoner explained, “Ann and I
havn’t managed to be both out of
jail at the same time.”
It is to be hoped that the t'ash-
ion'Setters will get up something
at least decent for fall styles. The
spring and summer fashions were
simply horrid. The hats were
regular scare crows, while dresses,
with miserable camel hunch, were
painful to behold. It will take
to restore many of the dear ones
back to their natural and comely

Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine brings rest
and sweet sleep to the tired brain worn out
with the cares and anxieties of the sick room.
Head the following:
”1 have always been healthy with the ex
ception of a touch of rheumatism since my
age came on, up to the time of my husband’s
last illness some years ago. 1 assisted in
nursing my husband for nearly three months
when he departed this life and the mental
strain I think caused my trouble. Aside
from extreme nervousness my trouble com
menced with sore throat and neuralgia. My
physician gave me purgative doses which
weakened me very much and my stomach
for a time seemed inactive. Mental strain
and the dormant condition of my stomach
soon told upon my general health. 1 had
little appetite and was soon forced to stay in
bed a greater part of the time. Within a
week after the time I began taking Dr.
Miles Restorative Nervine and Tonic I was
up about the house. I continued their use
until completely cured. My faith in Dr.
Miles Remedies has been strengthened by
experience of other people, our daughter hav
ing used Restorative Nervine with splendid
results in a case of paralysis and a friend to
whom 1 sent a box of the Anti-I’ain Pills re
ports that she has been completely cured of
neuralgia by their use. I know of a number

A Toe For a Finger.
A curious surgical operation is
reported from Dresden, where Dr.
Hulnel, who was attending a girl
eight years of age who had lost the
forefinger of her right hand, am
putated the second toe of his pa
tient’s right foot and sewed it on
to tit* 1 stump of the missing finger.
The two parts were then encased
in plaster, and after three weeks
it was found that tho toe had be
come firmly attached, forming a
good substitute for the finger.
