“sinners will have to surrender or take

AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES.
Agricultural progress, great as it has
bees, has occurred so slowly that few
people realize the facta. Taken one
year with another, perhaps, nothing
remarkable has occurred; but look
back, as many of us cau, for thirty or
forty years “at one fell-swoop"of mem
ory, and ire baiioid wonders not
dreamed of then and not considered
wonderful even now. The productive
ability of ihe land has been far more
than doubled and the quality of the
product greatly improved. Not only
have labor-expediting implements par
ticipated in this revolution, but better
knowledge of natural laws has resulted
in improved processes that cause ns to
wonder at those of our fathers It is
needless to say that the condition of
farmers has been greatly ameliorated,
until now the poorest enjoys privi
leges and pleasures known only to
fortune’s favorites a few years ago.
This revolution has been the result of
•11-pervadiDg human progress, from
which none could escape except by ab
solutely refusing to move with the
procession. Some of these laggards
remain as warnings, or as the prohi
bition lecturer says of the drunkard,
horrid examples.”
PROSPERITY DUE TO AMERICA.
TOO MUCH
Exercise is as bad as too little for the
growing girl. It is very easy for her to
overdo, and this is especially dangerous
at that critical period of a young girl’s
life when she crosses the line of woman
hood. It is not an
uncommon thing to
lay the foundation
for years of after
misery by neglect of
necessary precau
tions at the first
"change of life.”
