Grant unto us, Almighty God, that when our vision fails, and our understanding is darkened; when the ways of life seem hard, and the brightness of life is gone?to us grant the wisdom which deepens faith when the sight is dim, and enlarges trust when the understanding is not clear. Aud whensoever thy ways in nature or in the soul are hard to be understood, them may our quiet confidence, our patient, trust our loving faith iu thee be great; and as children knowing that they are loved, cared for, guarded, kept, may we with a quiet mind at all times put our trust iu the unseen God. So may we face life without fear, and death without fainting ; and, whatsoever may be iu the life to come, give us confident hope that whatsoQiror ia Vioaf fnr lie hntVi horo ami haro. rf "> after is thy good pleasure, and will be tby law.

Widespread Discussion Has Shown the PreMlnp Need of Highway Improvement?Men From All Walks of Life Have Enlisted Zn the Cause. > t-i. J_ AI-- A 'mere is no uuuuu 111 m? nnuua ui those who have studied the signs of the times that an era of road improvement has dawned on this country. Continued agitation has awakened the people to the necessity of action. The Cedar Rapids Gazette tells the story oi progress in a conversation between an old editor and a farmer. "At last," said the old editor, who has been in the harness for nearly 40 years, "I see signs which indicate the certain approach of an era of good road building, and I look upon it as one oi the best signs of the times." wnn #V*4r?Tr if Tiinrli fimfl A 1U1C1 UUUU J VJU bUAUA * V AlAgu VAUJV for such an era," remarked a farmer subscriber who had dropped in for a little financial transaction. "I surely do. In fact, I can't find even the shadow of an excuse for any more delay in its journey our way. I only wonder why, when advances are being made in so many other respects, some of which are of little importance compared with the roads over which many millions must pass each year, that the day of practical planning for better roads did not begin several decades ago." "May I ask what it is that gives you encouragement that there is approaching a revolution in the matter of roads?" asked the farmer, adding that he was "aware that good roads mean more to me and my brother farmers than to any other class," and that he was anxious to see the work go on. "Agitation, sir, agitation?the practical agitation that is going on in every direction. Why, the ministers are preaching about it, eduoators are lecturing on the subject, the farmers, at least all who are organized, and they are organized in nearly all the states, are awakening to its importance to them, personally?to their purses and comfort Few, if any, of the farmers' institutes have passed without more time being given to good road agitation than to almost any other question. "The question has been taken up in one way or another in 20 different legislatures, and the discussion on the various measures touohing better roads has been farreaohing, the papers quoting more or less from the bills and the speeches. Debating societies in thousands of schools have discussed the good roads question. Hundreds of-thousands of men and women who ride wheels have talked more or less on the same question, and the great national organi' zation of wheelmen known as the RESULT OF NARROW TIRES. [From Good Roads.] League of American Wheelmen, whose membership, I understand, is fast climbing to the 100,000 mark, has done a vast amount of work in making right publio sentiment 1 'We must not forget that among these wheelmen are thousands of farmers and their sons; statesmen, diplomats, merohanti, lawyers, doctors, manufacturers, capitalists, mechanics, workmen?men from all walks of life?as good people as we have, patriotic, publio spirited, pushing citizens, whose power is being felt more and more in many laudable directions. I used to look with suspicion upon their efforts. I do so no longer, fot I have never known them to take up any work that did not mean more for othera than it did for themselves. "I must not forget my own profession. Why, I can hardly pick up an exchange in which there is not a reference to the good roads Bnbject. Look at this, just clipped from a widely circulated publication. The editor was talking about a proposed piece of good road between two western cities. His closing paragraph is worthy of close study and is as follows: ? M 'But these roads oannot all be built in one year. The county board should lay out a plan for road improvement oovering a number of - years. A given number of mile's might be allotted to be completed each year. All parts of the county might be inoluded, and in time a system of roads would be built that would be a credit to the county and a saving to the farmers. Perhaps if the sessions of the county board were to be held in the early spring months, instead of in the fall, when we nearly always have good roads, we might see something substantial accomplished.' "Here is a paragraph from a Minnesota paper that attributes the failure of four merchants in March to bad ro^s. The roads were so bad that collections could not be made. Ob, yes, my profession is doing its part in hastening the good roads era." The conversation was encouraging, very, and indeed rather inspiring, for what the old editor said is true. The agitation is indeed widespread. It must result in the upbuilding of the required good roads sentiment. Massachusetts Aid For Roads. The appropriations by the state of Massachusetts for the improvement of conntry roads have been $300,000 in 1894, $400,000 in 1895, $600,000 in 1896 and $800,000 in 1897, a grand total of $2,100,000 in four years. Canned Pear*. Bartletts are considered best for canning, but here are many other good varieties. Peal and cut into halves, then throw into cold water until ready to can, to keep from discoloring. Prepare a sirup of one pound of sugar and twice as much water four pounds of fruit. If the pears seem very hard steam for a few moments before putting them into the sirup. If not, put them in the sirup and cook slowly until tender, lift out carefully and put into jars, fill very full of juice and pnt the covers on. * " ' . . ?sp; 3W w* w-' ' >?'! ?W$?: -' ; :'rrx*8?I ippl $ NEW YEAR. $- 19o 1. . ; ' ' ' ' ;" ... .
