— -Z7” • "' THERE are few young men who do not expect to achieve some degree of success or greatness during the course of their lives. The young man who entertains this ambition should keep a weather eye open on the question of matrimony. It might be thrown out as a matter of advfce that every young man ought to '"■''■'J- with tho l.loa that ho might hocome famous some day. The girl who will make a good wife while “they two” are living in a three-room flat will lie pretty safe to be trusted to be a good wife in a brownstone front, for the chances of happiness in a brownstone front would not be very promising if

the woman in question was not qualified to be a good wife in a three-room flat. The married life of the great men of the world is full of lights and shadows. In fact, woman can make happy or miserable the life of a great man just as easily as she can that of a man “to fortune and to fame unknown.” It all depends upon the woman—and the ! man. Tea, dyspepsia and a scolding wife i made the life of the famous essayist. Hazlitt, miserable. Tea. dyspepsia and a scolding wife—these three, but the greatest of these is a scolding wife. Fielding married a maidservant and was miserable. Goethe married his ! housekeeper and was contented and happy. Lessing married a widow and : ■was singularly happy—that is, he was. singularly, happy! Moliere, at 40, married an actress of 17, but It was a farce and the curtain was soon rung down. Steele was twice married and both times happily. The married life of Friuce and Princess Bismarck Is one -of the world's sweetest stories, while Milton drew from his personal experi--ence the material for a vigorous pam- I phlet advocating divorce. Abraham's married life was made very unpleasant "by the jealousy of Sarah for Hagar. If Julius Caesar and Alexander the , Great had lived in Delaware they would have been whipped about three times a week, for they were chronic wife beat- ! ers. Racine was about to turn monk through disgust at the failure of one ot ; his plays, but was persuaded to marry and he never regretted it. The music of Mozart’s happy wedded life was sweeter than any he composed. The story of the married life of James Fenimore Cooper and his wife is one of the idyls in the annals of Hymen. Richter married to get a good housekeeper and ; he got one. And right here it might be suggested that the true sweet Marie is ; not she whose ebLf claim is that she | has a face that is fair to see. The girl ■ who can make biscuits that can be open- ■ ed without using a “jimmie” discounts i by a very large per cent the grand dame : who never saw the inside of a flour ’ barrel. Heine wrote to a friend that he was ’ "•frightfully” happy. Cato married a ; poor girl that she might be wholly de- j pendent upon him and found her dis- ' agreeably independent. David married i the daughter of Saul, bat had to get rid of her on account of her temper. Na- ; poleon’s misfortunes were intimately ■connected with the divorcement of Jo- j sephine. The list might be gone through with. I • and at the end we should find that before the great problem of human happiness the prince is as helpless as the peasant and the philosopher as the mechanic. Tlie Wheel a Test of Character. ■Certain disgruntled philosophers have contended that the woman you see is jpWom woman von think you see. _ buuul. 1 *****^laMort^ women One can distinguish at a glance the daring, wilful beauty from the timid, tender girl. The woman is reduced for the moment to the plane of a boy. whose j good looks or lack of them, health, vigor of mind and body, are apparent. I j will even go so far as to advise a man not to get married until he has seen i the object of his choice disport herself ■ upon a bicycle. A New Corset. A tape corset has lately been introduced which is meeting with a most decided success. The tape takes the place of a foundation, and is about three-quarters of an inch wide, and is placed in horizontal rows witli narrow spaces between, whalebones being stitched into sheaths of the tape. They are designed to take the place of the summer ventilating corsets, and, as they are a novelty, are strong, cheap and comfortable, keeping the body well ventilated, the}’ have become very popular. A New Trunk. A new trunk that is finding favor with many women who dislike the lifting of heavy trays, or the turning of the contents of a carefully packed trunk topsy-turvy in order to reach something placed in the middle or bottom of it, is constructed like a dresser, with the trays like so many drawers that can be drawn out as easily as the drawers

of a well-made bureau. It has not th appearance of a piece of bedroom fin niture, however, when closed, as th lid forms part of the side of the trunk, locking near the bottom. These trunks are very strong and light, being clamped with iron and made of a cellulose fibre, with the woodwork a three-ply i veneer. The drawers run on metal / slides.

A young man asked me if it would ■ be safe for him to marry on five hundred dollars and a salary of fifty dollars per month. I told him I could tel) i better when 1 saw the girl. There are | girls who have grown up in ease, and I who have kicked great black and blue ' welts In the lap of luxury, yet who are I more ready and willing to accept a lit- ( i tic rough weather than the poor girl । who has stood for eighteen years look- ' i Ing out through the soiled window of life waiting for the rain to rinse it off . and let the sunlight through that she might see her approaching lord. Ladies' Home Journal. Laughing as an Art. A whimsical sort of woman was ask- ’ ' ed lately why she took lessons from an elocutionist. “To acquire a pleasant, pretty, hearty laugh," was her prompt response. “There is no accomplish । ment so rare in society, nor, it. seems to । me, so desirous.

! AGRICULTURAL NEWS ’ THINGS PERTAINING TO THE FARM AND HOME. Any Species of Weeds Cun Be Subdued — Keep Farm Machinery Clean—The Wife Should Be the Farmer’s Part-ner-Camphor to Dry Up Cows. Subduing the Weeds. Any species of weeds can be subdued and controlled within the limits of an ordinary farm, and. unless the value of the land is low from other causes, may be profitably undertaken. If the weed is an annual, reproducing Itself from the seeds only, it may be subjected by preventing seed production. For permanent pastures, lawns and roadsides this is quite sufficient, if persistently followed. In cultivated fields the laud thus seeded should first be bullied over to destroy as many as possible of the seeds on tho surface. It may then| be plowed shallow, so as not to burjw tho remaining seeds too deeply in thJ soil. The succeeding cultivation, n ‘W deeper than the plowing, will indue®! the germination of seeds in this layoM of soil, and kill the seedlings as tbg^ appear. The land may then be deeper and the enltlvntlon ropea* until th<* \ MH! KoedM are pretty tbor- 7 oughly cleared out to as great a depth | as the plow ever reaches. Below that I depth, t ight to ten inches, very few I weed seeds can germinate and push a shoot to the surface. A thousand seedlings can bo destroyed by the cultivator with less < ffort than a single mature plant can be destroyed, and every seedling killed means one less weed seed in the soil. —Philadelphia Press. 1 lie Care of Farm Machines. To get the most out of a machine care must be taken to keep clean. Dust in the journals or working parts increases the wear very materially. Another thing about which care should be taken is not to strain a machine. A I light wagon Is not intended for heavy j loads, neither is a light plow intended . for deep, heavy plowing. Select ma- | chlnery, advises the Farmer’s Home, ! adapted to the kind of work required for It, and do not expect that It will do ' all that Is to bo done. Whenever a | ^machine of any kind is working under ; a strain heavier than it. was Intended ' to do, there is an increased wear. Our I ’rule is to bring an implement to the ■ machine shed whenever the task for which It was taken out is completed, although we are aware that it will be needed again in a few days. In this way much exposure to storms and sun i Is avoided, and then when it is needed ; we know just where to find it, and no i time need be lost. Then the machine j is always In a better condition for use, ' nnd this is often no inconsiderable j item. L The I- nrmcr's I’nrtncr, Wp should not forget that we hare > partners who are equally interested , In all our business transactions. The I wife's efficiency in the home will be increased by a knowledge of and Inter- j est In the husband’s business. As no ' other branch of business owes so mveh of its prosperity tn wives as docs the farmer's, do not be selfish in this mat- I ter. See that your wife has all the • modern improvements for lessening • her labors. Ohio Farmer. Camphor in Drying I p Cows, A French Agricultural paper pub- | lisle's the following recommendation for the use of camphor as an aid In drying up cows which are very persistent milkers: Camphor administered in powder sorlo weeks before parturition, says Ho-trd’s Dairyman, dries up the milk of cows, which is something very Important. Two cows, one being three weeks, the other four, before the term of parturition, and giving five litres of milk and four litres respectively, were treated with powdered camphor put on their tongues at the back of the mouth, three times daily, In doses of thirty grammes. In ten to fourteen days both had run quite dry. As the milk diminished they were milked once in two milkings, then in three, and finally once in five. The milk must not in any case be defective, hence the necessity of milking thoroughly. To run a cow , dry when continuing to supply milk* was, previous to this experiment, an| impossibility. Camphor, it is neediest to remark, has the same effect on . mares. Without impairing health ori the udder, camphor causes dryness lull a few days without ditiieulty. X riant Lice and Cabbauc Worms. The plant lice on cabbage (Aphis brassica) and the common melon plant lice । A phis cueumeris) may be destroyed by spraying with kerosene emulsion. taking pains to reach tho colonies of lice, especially on the underside of the leaves, whore they are likely to Congregate. To do this it is necessary to have a nozzle arranged so as to throw the spray upward to the underside of the leaves, or, In the ease of cucumber vines, It may be most convenient to turn the vines carefully over while the spray is being applied. The cabbage worms will also be killed by the kerosene emulsion, if wet with the solution, but when on the inner leaves, or burrowing in the heads of cabbage, , it is difficult to reach them with any ' direct application. London purple, in i a solution of one pound to two hundred gallons of water, can be used until the cabbages are well headed out, and even then, if applied around the lower , leaves on which the worms are numerous, there will be no danger of poison. Hellebore for Currant Worms. : Hellebore is now so cheap that it is not worth while trying anything else to keep the currant worm in check. Sprinkling slaked lime on the leaves t will only make it. unpleasant for the ! worms and destroy a few of them; but the hellebore kills every worm that 1 gets a taste of it. The bushes are more

easily kept free from worms If only two or three stalks are allowed to grow together in a clump. Where there Is ^Jn l ' Se , maSS Os folia » e many stalks the lower leaves escape the dustn £. Ihe hellebore may be put in winter and sprinkled on the leaves. ' t U poisonous to the worms, though only Very slightly poisonous to people, and lore Is no possible danger that it can vet the fruit. The same remedy s equally good for the worm that attacks gooseberry bushes. Best Age to Set Apple Trees. One year old trees cost less than oh*er ones. They can be lifted from the nursery without any loss of roots, ami if properly set wilj make about the same growth as If in the nursery, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. The head can be formed at any desired hr.W. This Is difficult to do with older trees. they can be sot in the orchard in less I than half the time required for older trees, and no necessity for staking. Ihe transportation on such trees (if necessary! Is a small item compared with larger ones. the older and larger tho tree the greater the loss in roots. They will invariably be more or less mutilated. They have to be both root and top bound, and will require time to reciiperato from this loss, and in windy loaelitles will have to be staked another Kpense or loss of time. Now, in conElusion, If anyone having no oxperlfence with one-year-old trees will give them a test, I doubt not he will be like payself, prefer this age to any other. How to DcNtrox Sorrel. Says Professor Massey In the Practical Farmer: Lime will have no effect | In driving out sheep sorrel on land that Is deficient in vegetable matter; but if there is a large amount of decomposed vegetable matter in the soil, lime will bring about conditions favorable to the growth of better things that may smother out the sorrel. Sorrel, like I cheat, is usually more abundant after I a hard winter that has killed out grain j or clover, ami the sorrel comes in to I occnp.v tho vacant places. With a rank growth of clover on the land there is । seldom any trouble from the sorrel. . If I had a clover field infested with j the sorrel I would mow it very early, • before tho sorrel had ripened its seeds, | and would give the land a good dross- | Ing of acid phosphate and potash and at once sow it In some smothering crop like peas or buckwheat. Farm Hints. I made a mistake when I began forming, writes a contributor to Hoord's Dairyman, by not locating the penna i nent pasture where a part of it would ' adjoin the barnyard. This mistake caused me to walk many miles yearly ; to and from the pasture gate, which jas about 100 yards from tho barn, year 1 fenced each side of a .'io j root strip from pasture to yard, and ( this saves the daily walks after the । COWS. By kinduess and good eaje the cows can soon be taught to come to tho yard gate every evening. Plowed tini der a heavy growth of rye the latter part of May, ’UI, on one half acre. Harrowed fine ami planted to benny. Dry • weather set in. and half the beans fall■to germinate. The thick layer of rye underneath made land so loose !t dried j out easily. 1 should have used a heavy i loaded roller before and after harrow- | ing, to make the land firm. Milk for Chickens. Milk contains everything ne.'essary to tho growth of chickens. Skim milk, if mixed with meal, is equal to fresh milk, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Curd, made by heating soured milk, and draining off the whey, is akso a good food, but should be slightly t-ult-cd, as If for the human palate. The whey may be heated to scalding and thickened with meal. Add to this dough a small quantity of dripping or lard, salt to taste, and bake in a slow oven. Or, Instead of separating the curd from the whey, mix all together, thicken tho meal, add shortening and salt, then bake slowly for a long time. To make chickens grow there is nothing like variety of foods. Sheep in Orchards. Persons who pasture sheep In their orchards do not, as a rule, use enough sheep to do the most good. Tho sheep can add nothing to the land but what they take from it, but if a large number, say fifty, are put in eight acres of Krces seeded with orchard grass, and ■IT6 fed a little bran, say about one Lpound a day to each sheep, something Hike l”l pounds of nitrogen, IG4 pounds l of phosphate acid and SG pounds of ' potash would bo distributed during | the season over the ground in the best i possible way, while the sheep would ' keep down every weed and sprout, ' gnaw the grass close and ('at every fallen apple as soon as it strikes the ground.—Rural New-Yorker. Orchard Grass, Those who grow orchard grass should j remember that it needs to bo cut early, i If cut Just as the stem is forming and before it becomes hardened orchard grass will sprout readily, and may be cut several times in a season. It will also thicken under this treatment, and cover vacant spaces in the soil. The seed should always be sown with some kind of clover, which will furnish nu- i triment for it after the clover has died i out. Close Planting and Frost. In one pear orchard in a neighborhood where nearly all pear blossoms were killed by spring frosts there is i this year a full setting of fruit. The । trees are only twelve feet apart, and | their foliage covers all the surface of । the ground, as the branches are inter- i locked on every side. This mutual pro- I tection and the confined warm air un- i der the tree saved most of the bios- i sums from injury, and there will be a j full crop.

THE SUNDAY «CHOOL. THOUGHTS WORTHY OF CALM REFLECTION. A Pleasant, Interest inland Instrue*ivo Lesson, and Where It May Be Found—A Learned and Concise Review of the Same. Lesson for August 18. Golden Text—Thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.—Deut. 8: 10. The lesson this week is found in Deut. G: ”-15. and has for its subject The New Home in Uanaan. Deuteronomy is an old man s legacy to prosterity. In it Moses renuers tin* beaten oil of his divinely wrought lite, the fruits of his nurture under God. And when he speaks it is not for Israel's sake alone. It is for nil mankind. Those parting discourses from Moses’ lips are like Socrates’ last words, tho philosophy of living. But better than Socrates he speaks as the close friend, we might almost say, the familiar of God. i herolore the lines of the book point tho way of the uudefiied in all ages. Keep faith with God, and God will keep faith with you. Or rather trace out the faithful, truthful ways of the Lord Jehovah and vtalk in them. To keep therein is life nnd peace, to depart is loss, infinite loss, both hero and there. The “new home in Canaan” suggests the old home among the hills witit its open Bible and its family altar. Cherish the recollection. “Hear, therefore. O Israel." There is everything in that word therefore. Duty, obligation, aspiration, right ambition, love. The man who has any regard for self, neighbor or God, will hear. “< fbserve. to do." In our study Bible I we have marked this as the key phase of I Deuteronomy. It occurs more than once, and it sums up the burden of Moses’ last appeal to his people ami to us. “That it may be well with tlna*.” Experience corroborates tho word. Obey and live, neglect and die. The things that made for suc- < ess with Israel make for success and happiness witli us. They are general and universal principles of life that are here enum iated. “The land that tloweth with milk and hom y.’’ Tin re lay the land of Canaan before Israel fair in its possibilities ami promise. Here lies life before the yo,-.ng. How will you enter upon it, how will you adjust yourself to it? Learn wisdom. "Tho Lord our God is one Lord.” Therefore it pays to serve him find keep faith with him. Therefore it does not pay to 1-trget him. Israel's cause is enough to prove this. God’s laws are not arbitrary. They are just and true, a part of the very constitution <>f things ami given for an eternal ami Infinite betterment. To serve God is best serve self. “In thine heart." '1 he words were to be found on the outside, but they were to lie found also mi the inside. If this lesson shall i lead us back to something like the old memori<aiion i f Scripture in the Sunday school, ii will he well, unspeakably so. "I nto thy children." Nothing is more beautiful than the sight of a household gathered nt the family altar, with tho Book in tho midst ami the little ones lis- ■ L-ning to its I. au’ies and mysteries from i the iips of father and mother. If is what । makes nm;< Is rejoice, and its iibsem-e is jii ah to make angels weep. “Write j them upon the posts of thy house." They are written upon the door-posts of our government, and men cannot obliterate the mark. And in these days of prosperity. when we love "hulls’s full of good thing days which Moses prophesied would Le fraught with danger, it will go ill with us it we forget the truth, temperm.i c nnd righteousm-ss ot the days of the fathers, when the foundations were laid. Hints and Illustrations. ILre is a 1 counsel for parents. Family government is not so zealously guarded as once it was. Our children med to be taught both by precept and example that God's way is the la st way, and that the only course for true, lasting happim ss and prosperity is in observing God's laws. When the child is grown he will thank the parent f< ■ such instruction; i. i'.. it he has obeyed it. There be those who in a mean, shameless way are accustomed to say that they stay away from church or go in certain unworthy ways because their parents were “so strict” with them when they were young. We have little patience with such unfilial talk. It usually conies from those who are endeavoring in a weak and heartless way, to excuse themselves and cover up mis doings. It is what you may expect from the disobedient, and they get. in due time, their reward. But the youth that has walked in the footsteps of the parent, as he has followed after God, is ready and glad to acknowledge his indebtedness for the holy walk and conversation, ('all forth testimonies on this point. Are you sorry for the “lint* upon line” of home discipline and training. Sorry or glad? Keep rhe account straight with God — the financial «ccount. “< >!>«< rve t<> <l<>” it, make a study of the system of it. It is surprising and exceedingly sad how loosely we reckon with the Lord in money I affairs. Then- are men about us with j hundreds and thousands who are dealing lin pennies with the Lord. And they are ' called Christians. Dr. Lodge speak.-, none 'too strongly when he says: ‘ fho man who loosi ns his collar to sing. ‘Were Ilie whole realms of nature mine. That were a present far too small,’ and then slips a contemptible nickel into , the pom- fund collection, is a liar and I everybody knows it.” There is too much ■ of “sounding brass” when the contribui lion goes around.
