WW- f£t s^lond |f aunyil. ST. CLOUD, MINNESOTA E A I O N A S A E A The hope of the nation lies in the education of its people. An ignorant class is, of necessity, a dangerous one, and every good citizen should lend his influence toward lifting it out of its ignorance. The free school sys tem should be universal. Every dol lar spent upon it is quickly repaid in the greater security afforded to socie ty, and in the consequent reduction of expenditures for the suppression and punishment of crime. Men of property may grumble over what to them, seems high taxation but if •they stop to consider the general resultsflowingfrom the education of the community in which their inter ests are located, they will find that, after all, the investment is one of the best they can make. If rich men pay more for the support of public schools than the poor men, they have more property to be made secure through the general intelligence they help to disseminate. It costs less to govern an educated community than an ignorant one, for every intelligent man, if he has a fair degree of morality, becomes, as it were, the police or guardian of his own actions. "Where are your police to maintain order said Sir JVJorton Peto to the Mayor of Lawrence, Mass., as he rode with him through the streets of that city. 'There they are," said the Mayor, pointing to the troops of boys and girls returning from school. "We depend upon intelligence for the pres ervation of order." N O E N I E W I O E A S O N From the Commercial Advertiser. Bundy has been married two weeks and has left his wife. Bundy is a lit tle man, and his wife weighs two hun dred and forty pounds, and was the relict of the late Peter Potts. About ten days after marriage Bundy was surprised, on awakening in the morn ing, to find his better half sitting up in bed crying as if her heart would break. Astonished, he asked the cause of her sorrow, but receiving no reply he began to surmise that there must be some secret on her mind that she withheld from him, that was the cause of her anguish, so he re marked to Mrs. B. that, as they were married, she should tell him the cause of her grief, so, if possible, he could avert it, and after considerable coaxing, he elicited the following from her: "Last night I dreamed I was single, and as I walked through a well light ed street I came to a store where a sign in front advertised husbands for sale. Thinking it curious, I enter ed, and ranged along the wall on either side were men with prices af fixed to them. Such beautiful men some for 81,000, some for $500, and so on to $150. And as I had not that amount I could not purchase." Thinking to console her, Bundy placed his arm lovingly around her, and asked: "And did you see any men like me there?" "Oh, yes," she replied, drawing away from him, "lots like you, they were tied up in bunches like as paragus, and sold for ten cents per bunch." Bundy got up and went to see his lawyer as to whether he had sufficient ground for divorce. E O One day last month when trade was dull, a Vicksburg grocery clerk pro cured a piece of soleleather from a Shoemaker, painted it black, and laid it aside for future use. Within a few days an old chap from back in the country came in and inquired for a plug of chewing-tobacco. The piece of sole-leather was tied up, paid for, and the purchaser started for home. At the end of the sixth day he re turned, looking downcast and deject ed, and walking into the store he in quired of the clerk: "'Member that terbacker I got here the other day "Yes." "Well, was that a new brand "No—same old brand." "Regular plug-terbacker, was it?" "Yes." "Well, then, it's me it's right here in my jaws," sadly replied the man. "I knowed I wua gitin' party old, but I was alius handy on bitin' plug. I never seed a plug afore this one that I couldn't tear to pieces at one chaw. I sot my teeth on to this one, and bit and pulled and twisted, like a dog at a root, and I've kept biting and pulling for six days, and thar she am now, the same as the day you sold her to me!" "Seems to be good plug," remarked the clerk, as he smelled of the coun terfeit. "She's all right it's me that's failing!" exclaimed the old man. "Pass me out somefinecut,and I'll go home and deed the farm to the boys, and git ready for the grave I" A A N O N S W E "My son wouldn't steal peaches from Mr. Gammon's orchard I hope "No, ma, I wasn't in that crowd, the other night." "That's right, my boy. Keep out of bad company, and you'll never do wrong. Let your conscience be your guide in all things," and the fond mother patted her son approvingly on the head, and went about her duties with alight heart. Left to himself, the noble boy thus Soliloquized: "You don't catch me foolin' around old Gammon's.

O O N S E N S E E N I A I O N •Col. G. E.Waring, Jr., writes in the October Atlantic as follows:— The best practical statement I have met about ventilation was contained in the remark of a mining engineer in Pennsylvania: "Air is like a rope you can pull it better than you can push it." All mechanical appliances for pushing air into a room or a house are disappointing. What we need to do is to pull out the vitiated air al ready in the room the fresh supply will take care of itself if means for its admission are provided. It has been usual to withdraw the air through openings near the ceiling, that is, to carry off the warmer and therefore lighter portions, leaving ,the colder strata at the bottom of the room, with their gradual accumula tion of cooled carbonic acid undis turbed. Much the better plan would be to draw this lower air out from a point near the floor, allowing the up per and warmer portions to descend and take its place. An open fire, with a large chimney throat, is the best ventilator for any room the one half or two thirds of the heat carried up the chimney is the price paid for immunity from dis ease and large though this seems from its daily draft on the wood-pile or the coal-bin, it is trifling when compared with doctors' bills and with the loss of strength and efficiency that invariably result from living in un ventilated apartments. N O I E E While waiting at the depot yester day, a gentleman, whose watch was out of order, applied to a dashing young colored man to know the time of day, the said young colored man having a grand watch-chain dangling across his breast. "De time, sah de time ob day replied the young man. "Yes I want to know how near train time it is," "Well, boss," said the darkey, slowly pulling at the chain "I can't give you de time ob day exact ly, but I'se got some ob de bestest kind o' chewing tobacco in dis yere watch-case!"—Vicksburg Herald. O N E O E S O N I N E Yesterday, when an old lady on the Baker-st. cars got out a nickle to pay her fare, a gentleman sitting op posite her held out his hand to take it and Save her the trouble of leaving her seat. "What you want she demanded, giving him a keen look. "I'll pay your fare for you," he po litely replied. "I'd just like to see you or any one else get hold of my money!" she exclaimed. "I've traveled afore this, and I know what I'm about, I do!" And she stalked forward and de posited her fare in the box. —The last battle of which we have heard, was a little but fierce one and it was all about a woman. Twenty wagons were en route for Dallas, Texas. In the train was a young widow to whom one of the pil grims paid his devotions. She rather encouraged him until he became too ardent a wooer, when she denounced him to another admirer. The caravan was divided in sentiment. One party sided with the widow one with the poor man and one was neutral. The peaceful brigade left determined to have no hand in the affair but they had not gone far when they heard the sound of pistol shots, the battle having begun, while the screams of the fair sex rent the air. About 15 men engaged in the combat. Three were killed several wounded it was a drawn fight after all but what be came of the widow is not recorded. •m _—_ —It is a man's own fault if he is unhappy with his wife, in nine cases out of ten. It is a very exceptional woman who will not be all she can to an attentive husband and a more exceptionable one who will not be very disagreeable if she finds herself wilfully neglected. It would be very easy to hate a man who, haying bound a woman to him, made no ef fort to make her happy hard not to love one who was constant and ten der and when a woman loves she always strives to please. —The bankrobbery in Huntington, W. Va., for audacity and cool, calcu lating cunning eclipsed anything of the kind in recent times. The rob bers mado the most elaborate prepa rations, taking time beforehand to get their horses in condition. They entered the bank in broad .day-light, compelled the Cashier, at the muzzle of their revolvers, to open the vaults. They were disappointed at the sum secured, and examined the books to ascertain whether they had been de ceived. They said the bank was "mighty poor," and a fraud upon hon est men—like themselves then they sorrowfully made away in sight of the entire population, having first given the Cashier his liberty and told him to "yell" tor assistance. They were pursued by several hundred men, but at last accounts two of them were still at large. One of them, as al ready reported in the dispatches, was overtaken and killed. He proved to be one of the notorious James boys. Crimes of this kind are happily of less frequent occurrence than they used to be and there is little reason to apprehend that they will become popular. Society in America is too well organized and too much attached to law and order to permit them. The James boys, who are almost the only highwaymen in the country, are being killed off one by one and when they are gone it will be a long time probably before successors rise up to fill their places. —A certain Whitehaller is in the habit of using the common expression, "By the-way," to a considerable ex tent. Some time ago, during a relig ious awakening, he experienced a change of heart, and began attend ance at protracted meetings. Finally, one evening, he gained courage enough to rise and offer prayer. He did well until the closing up, when he abruptly sat down without the usual "Amen." As he dropped into his seat the omission occurred to him, when he arose quickly, and with the index finger of his right hand ex tended toward the presiding pastor, ejaculated, "Oh, by-the-way—Amen," and immediately resumed his seat.— Whitehall Times. W E A A E O A O E S When potatoes are grown exten sively it has become a common and very good practice to have a few acres of early potatoes ready to clear off and sow to wheat. This can readily be done with Early Rose, and some times with early planted later varie ties. It is best, however, not to try to get out a large field- of potatoes in time for wheat, as the labor is so great that it is apt to delay wheat sowing till late in the season. Wher ever ground can be fitted for sowing by the 25th of September, a potato crop makes an excellent preparation for wheat. The ground is in the best possible mechanical condition from previous cultivation, and if the soil is rich enough a good crop is apt to re sult. With the complete pulverization of the soil, as hoeing, cultivating and digging, little after preparation is necessary to fit it for wheat. The old-fashioned way, both on corn and potato ground, was to lightly culti vate and sometimes only to drag the surface, sowing the wheat broadcast and covering with the drag. This was reckoned a slipshod and lazy practice, and therefore abandoned, but we re member very well that some extra large crops were grown in this way, and it is quite certain that the deeper cultivation which has become fashion able has not been so generally suc cessful. Wherein is the advantage of plowing potato ground for wheat If properly cultivated during the sum mer there will be few or no weeds in potatoes at digging time, and light cultivation, or even dragging to level the surface, is all that is needed— much better, we suspect, than a deep er plowing, which turns the finely pulverized surface soil to the bottom of the furrow.—Rural New-Yorker* O A O E S Preserved Tomatoes.—To everypoundNotice of little pear-shaped, yellow tomatoes allow I of a pound of white sugar prick each one with a coarse needle in five or six places put the sugar on the fire in a preserving kettle, with a.teacup of boiling water to 6 pounds of sugar stir over a slow fire until dissolved, then put the tomatoes in and cook until clear when half done add the juice and rind, cut very fine, of 2 large, fresh lemons. When the fruit is clear take it out carefully and put it in small jars, filling them two-thirds full boil the syrup fast for 6 minutes more, then fill up the jars and let stand a day: cover close ly and keep in a cool place. Tomato Figs.—Pour boiling water over the tomatoes to remove the skins weigh and place them in a stone jar, with as much sugar as you have tomatoes, and let them stand 2 days pour off the syrup and boil and skim it until no scum rises. Then pour it over the tomatoes and let them stand two days, as before boil and skim again. Then place on large earthen plates or dishes, and put them in the sun to dry, which will take about a week, after which pack them down in small wooden boxes, with fine white sugar between each layer. Tomatoes prepared in this manner will keep for years. Spiced Tomatoes.—Several pounds of tomatoes peeled. Boil together 3 pounds of brown sugar, 1 quart of vinegar, a small handful of cinna mon, a few cloves and a tablespoon of salt pour over the tomatoes while boiling hot, cover and let stand over night, then boil 2 hours. —"I am glad," wrote a clergyman j,o the Grand Bapids Democrat, and the types got it "dam glad."

From the World's Dispensary Printing Office and Bindery, Buffalo, N. Y., we hare received "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, in plain English or, Medicines Simplified," by B. V. Pierce, M. D., Counselor-in-chief of the Board of Physicians and Surgeons at the World's Dispensary. Whoever helps humanity in its struggle with its inherent weakness and diseases, to bear or cure, is its benefactor. Ignorance is not only of itself a cause of disease and morality, but it is the enemy of every effort to cure or mitigate. Nothing will so speedily remove this cause as knowledge (an ele mentary one at least) of the diseases to which we are heir, as well as those superinduced by our own imprudence. Dr. Pierce has rendered, in our judg ment, a benefactor's service, both to the afflicted and to the profession, in his diagnosis of the dis eases treated of, and in the presentation of the philosophic principles involved in their cause and removal. He is sparing of remedies, and usually prescribes such as are safe in unskilled hands. As a book merely of abstract knowledge, it is exceed ingly readable and interesting, especially the fol lowing subjects'.—Cerebral Physiology, Human Temperaments, Pseudo, Hygiene, the Nursing, of the Sick, Sleep, Pood. Ventilation, etc. In one chapter on another subject, so delicate in its nature that it is shut up beyond the domain of warning to all but physicians, so accursed in -its results in modern society, he is moie explicit, and alike true to God, to virtue, to life, and to society, shows the truth as presented in the teachings of Scripture,— that life begins with conception,—with great force, to which are added faithful warnings.
