The Provincial Court was crowded to the doors some fifteen minutes before the appointed time last Wednesday afternoon for Judge Abrams to take his seat on the bench. The case on remand before His Worship was that of Albert Pickard having been charged by Provincial Chief Constable Stephenson that he did on the 7th inst. loiter on a public highway footpath and obstructing passengers. Mr. P. P. Harrison appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Leighton, of Nanaimo, appeared as council for the defendant. The first witness called for the prosecution was Chief Constable Stephenson, who said Hat on the 7th inst. at about half-past three in the afternoon he came up from , what is known as the Landing, past the Coal Company's office, accompanied by Provincial Constable Murray when he observed four men standing on the sidewalk and leaning against the handrail. He went over towards them, Constable Murray following, across the main road. When we took the sidewalk about ten or fifteen feet on the Union Hotel side from where the men were standing he andConstable Murray walked towards them. When he arr-ved to where they were standing the first he came to was the defendant. Witness spoke to him and the other men and told them they could not stand and block the sidewalk. The defendant said there was not enough law in the country to move him. He was leaning with his elbows against the railing of the sidewalk with his feet projecting out and taking up a considerable portion of the sidewalk. So much so that Constable Murray and witness could not pass side by side but had to drop one behind the other to pass. In answer to defendant, when he said there was not enough law to move him. Witness said that he would move him if he did not move. Defendant then challenged him to go back over the hill somewhere and he would let him see what he could do. He then took hold of Defendant and moved him along the sidewalk. When defendant struggled and declared he was going to stay there witness took him up the sidewalk towards the town. Defendant tried to turn round when witness grabbed him, otherwise he would have been over the edge of the sidewalk. Constable Murray then came up and took him to the lock-up. Provincial Constable Murray; in evidence, said what was similar to the previous witness ; that he had to drop back to allow the Chief Constable to pass the defendant, who was leaning against the railing with his feet projecting out about two feet on to the sidewalk. The width of the sidewalk at that point is about four feet ten inches, with a railing on the one side and a drop of about twenty inches on the other side. Alter the Chief Constable asked him to move the accused said there was not enough law in British Columbia to. move him, and invited the chief up onto tht hill. He tried to trip the Chief. Witness caught up and took the accused to the lock-up. In answer to a question by P. P. Harrison the witness said he WESTERN CLARION SUSPENDS PUBLICATION We will miss the sweet voice ("Buy a Clarion") of our friend on Dunsmuir Avenue, the local member of the U. M. W. of A. who acted as news boy for that paper. The Nanaimo Herald In the issue of the 12th says: The Clarion, the Socialist organ published at Vancouver, has suspended publication, the cause being a depleted treasury. The local News says in their latest issue : The Western Clarion has been merged into the B.C. Federation^ ist. This has been done owing to lack of financial support. The Western Clarion has been goins.' behind at the rate of over one hundred dollars per month for eight years. Editor kingsley states he has had to make good the deficit.—Rather rough on the boys at the Socialist Hall. Not long ago the United Mine porkers' Journal came out with an article signed by President White of the U.M.W. of A., complaining of a depleted treasury. Now comes the Clarion with the same tale. Those who have been loudest in their expression must have failed to come up with the necessary. Local Boy Succumbs Andrew Thompson, aged 24, son of Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Thompson of this city, died at Revelstoke on Thursday. The deceased had been ill from typhoid fever and recovered sufficiently to get up occasionally, when he received a relapss from which he never recovered. We understand the deceased is being brought from Revelstoke to Nananimo for burial, his father accompanying the remains. He was respected and favourably known around town as Roger Thompson.

OVER A THOUSAND TONS IN ONE DAY had to step back to allow Stephenson to pass because the accused was taking up so much of the sidewalk. In answer to a question put Ly Mr. Leighton the witness said he never heard the Chief Constable say that the fellows tried his patience. Other witnesses for the prosecution were William Jones, Alex McLaughton and Thomas Bickle, who were returning from work at the time the incident happened and gave evidence on the same lines as the preceding witnesses. This finished the case for the prosecution. Mr. Leighton, counsel for the defence, asked that the case be dismissed and refused to call witnesses for the defence. Magistrate Abrams did not seem to have the same opinion of the case as Mr. Leighton and fined the accused five dollars and costs, in default ten days. Counsel for the defendant gave notice of appeal, which will be heard before His Honor Judge Barker on Wednesday, Dec. 4th, that being the regular county court day. Record Output of Local Mines Increased to SO per cent of the Regular Output. , fn a recent issue of the Nanaimo Free Press, under the heading of The Situation at Cumberland, it states that according to information received from representatives of the U. M. W. of A. there is an immediate possibility of the Chinese workers coming out, if they have not already quit. In reply to that we would say the Chinese and the Japanese are stHl working in full force and have no intention of quitting. The Free Press further says: It is stated that another representative of the company is acting in Mr. Coulson's place and doubt is cast on the rumor that he is on a holiday. We understand the report is given out that Mr. W. L. Coulson, general manager for the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Limited, left for New York to consult a specialist. It may be true that some other official of the company is acting in his stead during his absence. But the representatives of the U.M. W. of A. will undoubtedly find out to their satisfaction if they enquire from the proper source that W. L. Coulson is general manager for the Canadian Collier ies (Dunsmuir) Ltd. just the same. The Free Press also says: From information received two financiers, both interested in the mines to a large extent, received from the U. M. W. of A. a written and detailed report of the points of dispute and variance, promising to put the same before the board of directors of the company. The report of the two financiers as we receive it in Cumberland is this: Two shareholders did visit this place and while here two members of the U. M. W. of A. tried to secure an interview which after some time they accomplished and handed the shareholders a letter. But the members of the U. M. W. of A., so it is understood here, were told by the shareholders that they were perfectly satisfied with the services of Mr. W. L. Coulson as general manager and J. R. Lockhart as general superintendent, and had nothing to say in the matter, neither promising to lay the U.M.W. of A. troubles before the'board of directors. The following figures will give some idea of the coal being produced at the local mines. On Wednesday, Nov. 18th, No. 4 Mine made a record in hoisting 545 tons in eight hours. The figures below shows the output of all the mines in operation: Saturday, November 9th, 697 ton PROVINCIAL LIBERALS APPOINT ORGANISER Victoria, B. C, Nov. 14.-The tender leaves of hope appear to be again springing in the breasts of members of the Liberal Party in British Columbia. As a result of a meeting held in Vancouver some time ago it has been deeid- to appoint a field organiser for province. The man selected for the position is Mr. W. W. Baer, editorial writer on the Victoria Times. Mr. Baer will enter upon his new duties within a few days. He will probably make his headquarters in Vancouver. Favors Canadian System _____ .

Liberals Taking no Part Montreal, Nov. 14.—Hon. Louis Coderre open his campaign to night with a meeting in St. Henri attended by about 1,500 persons. The meeting was quite enthusiastic, and the feature was a speech by Hon. L. P. Pelletier, who told how he stood on the question of Canada's attitude to the Motherland. The Liberals are taking no part in the contest. Monday, 11th, 837 Tuesday, 12th, 929 Wednesday, " 13th, 969 Thursday, 14th, 852 Friday, 15th, 1020 Total for six days 5304 -* Pointed Paragraphs. Its strange, nevertheless a fact, the people who leave Cumberland never seem to be satisfied until they get back again. With strangers arriving by every boat and obtaining employment at the local mines our population is on the increase. The man on the street says: How can the local union officials expect to win or succeed in any of their demands when the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Ltd. at their local mines yesterday produced 1,020 tons of coal in eight hours. The production of that amount of coal in one day settles the strike. ALL MINES ARE The "Holiday" Makes no Material Difference in Output or Number of Employees. A delegation from Ladysmith a few days ago went to interview Hon. H. E. Young, Provincial Secretary, to ascertain if a labor commission had been appointed to settle the grievances at Cumberland. Dr. Young informed them that the news of the labor commission was as yet premature and had been anticipated by newspapermen. BETTER FACILITIES FOR HANDLING CROP The railway magnates were frankly told by the railway commission they must make larger preparations to handle the west's crops. They started early and placed large orders for cars' and at intervals eversiuce the railway commission has prodded them. The railways made remarkable preparations and the three roads' Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk, and Canadian Northern added this summer to their rolling stock no less thae twenty-two thousand box cars and five hundred engines In addition no less than seventeen million dollars was expended on betterments with intent sotely to expedite thc movement of grain. This seventeen millions is not including the millions spent for extensions, branch lines, etc. This money was spent on increased switching facilities, better terminals etc. The C. P. R. also last year spent millions on im proving the line east of Port Arthur along the north. On the Canadian Pacific railways single line sidings have been doubled, steel bridges, have taken the place of wooden trestles to bear the weight of heavier locomotives and grades have been reduced. The daily output at the mines of the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Limited has reached the thousand ton mark. All the mines are now at work, No. 5 having commenced operations last Wednesday morning. The mines that are being operated by the Coal Company are No. .4 or Lake Mine. Nos. 5, 6, and 7. Men are at work sinking No. 8 shaft, which is down between 400 and 500 feet. The daily production at the local mines at the present time is about fifty per cent of the regular output. Trains loaded with coal are running to Union Bay as usual and the company has eommenced shipping coal, supplying the steamers as they arrive. It is expected it will take some little time to regain the trade that was lost two months ago, the time the local U. M. W. of A. decided to take a holiday. The local union officials when asked concerning the holiday, strike or lockout as they may term it, seem to think they have yet some chance of pulling out on the winning side. Those who have sized the situation up very carefully know that the local union have utterly failed, and that it is impossible to gain any demands or recognition in any shape or form. The mines are working every day, producing one half of the regular output, shipping coal to all parts'of the globe, with somewhere near 800 men working for the company, new men arriving every day and obtaining work (a crowd numbering twenty-five arrived by Wednesday's bo.;t and another crowd of twenty yesterday by the Union Steamship Co). Old hands are gradually getting disgusted at remaining idle so long and accomplishing nothing, have made up their minds to return to work and are doing so daily. The output ever since the mines commenced operations has continually been on the increase and is expected to reach fifteen hundred tons per day within the next ten days. In the face of these facts you ask the man on the street: what about the strike? He will tell you it is as good as settled. Any intelligent miner will say it is no use lighting any longer. Why not go down to defeat with a smile and say I have played and lost. For what reason should the men who return to work be called foul names because they can stand idleness no longer. A man who is destitute, especially if he likes work, dreads to reveal his circumstances and apply to a local union for support which, when received, is not more than enough to keep body and soul together. It is also reported that should those who would like to go to work, but are afraid of the name they might receive from some of their fellow workmen, wait until the local union officials declare the holiday at an end may find themselves in such a position that their places are occupied and informed their services are not required. It is a difficult matter to estimate the loss that some men who have homes and property will have to bear. It is said that tho company if necessary will work their mines for the next ten years on the same lines as they are today. That means that each and every man will ultimately go back to work or seek employment in some other part of the world.

CHAPTER V Easton found his man-servant sitting up for him, according to his custom, on his return to the flat. This Individual, named Duck, a typical Jack Tar of about forty, clean-looking, brawny, alert, with humorous eyes, had joined the Major some years before and had followed him in his ex-1 ploring expeditions. He was entirely devoted to his master, for whom he had a great admiration, and save for one or two nautical failings—a fondness for the female sex, and a habit of breaking things, natural to men who havo only had Government goods to deal with—made Easton an excellent servant, being faithful, clever and willing, never apparently requiring any prolonged sleep, and always willing to tumble up, as he called it, at any hour of the day or night. TumblJng up from the hearthrug or somewhere on Easton's entrance, he greeted him cheerfully and proceeded to help him off with his coat and muffler, prepared to see his master safely stowed away in bed, according to his custom, before himself seeking his couch. But Ihe Major was inclined to dispense with his services on this occasion. I am not going to bod just yet, Duck, he said. I don't feel sleepy, I'll have a cigar and a whiskey. Vou can turn in Ay, ay, sir, said his retainer, as if It was the most natural thing in the world that liis master should not feel sleepy at that hour, and proceeding to prepare the whiskey and cigars. Call you same time in the morning, ■fr? Easton nodded. Ves, and clear out eow, he said, and filling himself a pretty stiff drink and selecting a cigar he.throw himself into an armchair. It was true he did not feel sleepy. The events of the evening had affected him considerably, making his brain ective, his thoughts confused. The death of the young girl ho had seen so full of life and prettiness, the ■trango circumstances in which he lad discovered her body, had shocked him deeply. And the thought of her Bister whose beauty had so attracted Mm, and her grief and illness, had touched him more than he would have cared to acknowledge. And then, too, there came the question as to what it was right for him to do. dead ■—-■■■■■■■■—■■■■■—■—— And then his thoughts flew back to the scene, with the taxi-cab and the angry man In Grosvenor Square. That poor girl had had a quarrel with this man. He had bullied her, frightened her, perhaps, and it was that possibly which had led her to commit the rash act the results of which he had discovered. I wouder who the brute was, he thought. And then suddenly he looked at his cuff. Who the brute was, whether It was indeed Odo Rivington, of the gambling house, or someone else entirely, he had at least left tangible proof of his identity on Easton's sleeve, and the Major looked at tho marks thoughtfully. He was a furious blackguard from what I saw of him, and If it was this Odo Rivington, I should judge Lim capable of any villainy. If she had been found dead in any other way than that in which I found j her, he thought, I should have looked for the man who cut his knuckles on her cab and made this mark.

But after all, what do 1 know of women? He looked round him with a little sigh. Judging,from his rooms, Major Easton knew very little of women.- Rarely furnished, comfortable but without any luxury, these apartments showed two things very plainly. That tlieir owner was a smoker, and that he was a traveller. There were ci-j gar-boxes, pipe racks, tobacco jars in plenty. And there were mementoes i of his journeys, heads of animals,; weapons, curios from many strange' and unknown countries; but photographs, pictures of beauties, English or foreign, thore were none. And |n-j deed few had entered into the Major's; life. He had been too busy, lived j 100 hard a life. And now—I wish! I had got a picture of ller, he thought, with a Utile sigh.

STEAMSHIPS In srea:*ing of the two new steamships the "Empress of Russia" and 'ho "Empress of Asia." which the Canadian Pacific Railway Is. building for service on the Pacific Ocean between Canada and the Orient, a C.P.R. official remarked yesterday that he felt justified in saying that the two now boats would be the safest vessels afloat.

More About The Loading Platform The present generation of Western farmer, will never know the difficulties an i vexation.0 experienced by tbelr predecessors in the earlier years ".'hen no one could get a carload of grain shipped in bulk except by loading It through an elevator The system forced the majority of farmers to sell tlieir grain to tbe elevator owners at arbitrary juices, and oft tim*s to submit to heavy dockage and other annoyances, cnu-singcontiuual dissatisfaction. Now, however, the distribution of cars as fixed by the Grain Act and the use of the loading platfjrra, provide facilities which enable the farmer to secure satisfactory treatment In the Utsposal of his grain, and the highest market price;*! at time of sale. 3very farmer therefore, should more and more oiideavor to use the loading platform li shinning his grain to the terminal cleia'ors. It !p the safeguard or the farmers' freedom lu dlsorning of hi a grain ro the best advantage for himself. If farmers refrain from using the loading nifttfo"m freely, it might result ln its being done r.way with, because railway companies and elevator owners are strongly opposed to it. It is easy to understand why elevator people desire the loading platform abolished. The railway people o-i their part say it delays the loading of cars and helps to ensure c:ir shortage. This we know tj bo nonsense, because fre- M"«'itiv nf'"- pirg ,>-p loaded-i whether w'th craln, coal, Inmber, or other merchandise, they are Bidf tracked for d.iys and even weeks instead of ln-'ng promptly moved forward to destination. It Is engine Rhnrte«re -nd shortage of competent train men' that mostly causes grain blockAles on railways and not, lack of ears. Let every farmer therefore, do all he can to use the loading platform and become an independent shipper. ln subse.i-ent advertisements wo will state In detail the savings and other advantages of direct loading into cars compared with loading through elevators.

Weddlng-RIng Lore In the.Ise of Man the wedding ring was formerly used ns nn Instrument of torture. Cyril Bavenport, in Ills book on Jewellery, remarks that there once existed a custom In that Island according to which an unmarried girl Wbo had been offended by a man could bring him lo trial, and If he wore toiind guilty she would be presented with a sword, a rope, and a ring. With tho sword she might cut off his head, with the rope she might 'iMig him, or with tho ring she might marry him, It is said that the latter punishment was Invariably Iii* llictcil. The wedding ring was anathema to tlio early Puritans, who regarded person?; adornment as one of the mnny snares of Satan. In the old Knglish marriage service tt was the custom foi tlie bridegroom to put the ring on [he thumb of the bride, saying: In the name of the Father; then on the the next linger, saying: and the Son, and then on the second finger, saying: ond of tbe Holy Ghost; finally on the third finger, with the word Amen. Tlie ring was lert there, because, as the Saturn ruherle snys, a vein proceeds thence to tlie heart. In the modern marriage service Ihe ring 13 placed at once upon the third linger, tho Invocation to the Trinity being understood A Slight Mistake There' Is a railroad out In Colorado, according to the story of a Western traffic manager, which seems unable to form anything like an intimate acquaintanceship between Us trains antl the advertised schedules.

A few weeks ago the word was passed about the little town that No. 2 would get !n on time, and there was a big crowd at the station. Some generous citizen provided quantities of red lire, and set It off along the track. What's the celebration? the conductor asked when he jumped off at the station. .

It is a wonderful collection both In size and In the beauty and accuracy of tho work. It includes flowering plants, from the simplest to the most elaborate and complex, being done In the natural color of the particular flower modelled. with buds, leaves and stems. This is known as the Ware collection. The plants wero modelled by Leopold Blasehka, founder of the art of modelling specimens in gliss. lie was born May 27th, 1823, In Alcha, a town ln Northern Bohemia. His father was a mechanician in electrical apparatus and an artificer in glass. Leopold began work as a goldsmith, devoting himself to cutting and setting precious stones, but later changed to metal and glass work. In 1843 he made' a voyage to the United States in a sailing vessel, making drawings of marine Invertebrates which he collected and from which he constructed in 1853 the first glass models for the Natural History Museum of Dresden These attracted wide notice, and were the beginnings of a business that was limited only because he employed no assistant but his son. Rudolph, the son, born In 1857, was educated to be a naturalist, and readily entered Into his work wlh his f-ither They studied and made trod 0*". of marine form in glass, which have been sought by collectors and are treasured In museums. In 1854 Leopold made models of plants In flower. In 1862 he had completed a collection of about sixty specimens of orchids modelled in glass. In 1880 the Blaschkas were Induced to resume the consructlon of plants ln ilowor They also constructed models for zoology. Since 1890 all their time has been given to flowers. They use.1 only fresh material so had to obtain it close at hand from the neighboring greenhouses and gardens, drawing from the Royal gardens of f.axony and Dresden. America was drawn upon, plants being sent to be cultivated In the garden of the Blasehka studio. In 1892 Rudolph Blasehka went to America to study the flora. He made a most thorough study of plants as to color, also made microscopic drawings of details and of species, and took back specimens preserved In alcohol and dried for study. He made collections from all parts of the country, even to the Pacific Coast. During a second journey ln 1895 he was called home by the death of his father. The son ts still living but so far has not disclosed the secret of of making fjass models from plants, and If he does not before his death the' art will pass away.

BAKING POWDER MADE IN CANADA CONTAINS NO ALUM CONFORMS TO THE HIGH STANDARD OF GILLETTS GOODS VMilV' BAKING POWDER Not Yet The General waa inspecting a regiment of Territorials, tho Colonel of which was a notoriously bad horseman. As the band struck up the march-past the Colonel's liorse plunged violently, and the officer was nearly unseated. Every man in the leading company was very interested in his efforts to retain his seat, with the result that tho front rank became bunched up and badly out of line. Ease off there, shouted tho Captain angrily. He ain't, replied a laughing recruit, but I'll bet he won't keep on for another two minutes.

Along the coast of the Bay of Ago and ihe Bay ot Kokasho the thirteen and fourteen year old girls, after they have finished their primary school work, go to sea and learn to dive. They are In the water and learn to swim almost from babyhood. They spend most of their time In the water, except In the coldest season —from the end of December to the beginning of February. Even during the most Inclement of seasons they sometimes dive for pearls. They wear a special dress, with the hair wwlsted up Into a hard knot. The eyes aro protected, by glasses to prevent the entrance of water. A boat In command ot men Is assigned to every five or ten women divers to carry them to and from the fishing grounds. When the divers arrive on the grounds they leap into the water at once, and begin to gather oysters at the bottom. The oysters aro dropped Into tubs suspended from their waists. When these are filled the divers are r.-.lsed to the surface and. jump Into the boats. They dive to a depth of Irom five to thirty fathom without any special apparatus, and retain their breath from one to three minutes. Their ages vary from thirteen to forty years, and between twenty-five and thirty five they are at their prime. Experience Unnecessary The fashionable practitioner threw a glance at the dUBt road and rubbed his hands gleefully. His trunk was packed, his professional attitude was laid aside, and his carriage was due. But the assistant who was to act as administering angel during his absence did not share his master's good spirits. I hopo everything will be oil right while you're away, sir, he said nervously. Sure to—sure to, replied the great M.D. I've—I've had such little experience stammered the young man desperate- ly. Nonsense! You don't need experience wilt fashionable patients, exclaimed hn who knew their ways, grabbing liis lin.t. They're aB simple as A, B, (' Find out what they've been eating and stop It, And ask them where tlie're going for their holidays, and send them somewhere else. Sign Was Effective The residents of one of tho small California towns near Los Angeles were annoyed at the constant speeding of motor drivers over the goo»' roads of that section, and so, after losing several chickens and dogs under the wheels of passing cars, they made a protest by erecting a sarcastically worded signboard, reading- Slow down to 65 miles. Mauy a driver who would disregard ihe ordinary caution to run at the iegal rate of twenty miles an hour is forced to grin at the humour of this appeal and proceed at a more reason- ibie speed.

There nre probably few qualities un which so much of the daily pence und happiness of men and women depends on tis that of forbearance. It is sometimes considered as a passive virtue, dwelling chiefly in calm nnd unexcitable natures, and not to be expected in union with boldness, courage, strength and impetuosity. Yet, whatever qualities may lay claim to the name of passive virtues, certainly forbearance is not one of them. It is essentially active in its nature, demanding frequently the utmost strength of will, self-control and determination; and is, therefore, much more the virtue of a strong character than of a weak one. A feeble individual, mentally and morally, will not be likely to exercise much forbearance. He will rather yield to his first impulses, whatever they muy be; wherens the strong nature, guided by wisdom, will learn self-control—and ouly through that is forbearance made possible. The very Word implies this. To forbear is to refrain from doing or saying something which impulse had prompted us to do or say i it is the conquest of wiser second thoughts over lirst desires ; it is the curbing of anger or indignation, the stern self discipline that represses the hasty judgment, the unkind criticism, the uncharitable interpretation, the cutting reply. Thus it implies restraint and force, and is the fruit of active energy, not of passivity or weakness. It is generally in the smaller details of life that self-government takes the form of forbearance. It is in our daily association with otlier people, whether in society, in business, or at home, that we ure in the deepest need of this virtue. We are irritated at countless things, and seem goaded on to utter bitter words, or spiteful allusions, or stinging repartee, or impatient scorn. We see error so plainly that we long to crush it out by violent means ; or we are suffering under some real or fancied inikjndiiess or injustice which we burn to resent, and which appears to us to warrant the sternest indignation. The forbearance which, while enduring these heart-burnings, can yet enforce silence on the lips until the hot emotions huve hnd time to cool, and have been brought to the bar of reason aiid judgment, commands our respect and admiration. " There are words which sever hearts more than sharp swords do; there are words, the point of which stings the heart through the course of a whole life." if the victory of silence is once gained at such limes, the buttle is never renewed, the words are never uttered, They are condemned alike by our moral judgment and our intellectual common-sense. No one ever repented of such self-restraint, but many bitter and unavailing regrets huve followed the utterance of hot antl busty expressions, as we bear to-day. ,Sober second thoughts always suggest palliatives nnd allowances that temper and heat had prevented us from noticing. The wrong was not so intentional as we had fancied ; we had exaggerated the error of injustice ; we had forgotten the provocation that had existed ; we had failed to consider the force of circumstances or of constitutional peculiarities. A hundred i xcuses for tlie words or conduct thnt aroused our indiffiiatiou oc.ur to us on a more deliberate review, and we often censure ■more severely our own impetuous wrath than the occasion which drew it forth. Goethe once said : " J see no fault committed which 1 also might not have committed." Generosity ol i ('heart, with wide experience of life, and calm impartiality of judgment, will ever tend to alike humility. If we examine ihe results of forbearance and contrast them with the results i ('impatience, irritability, and intolerance, the balance will be i'iund to be all on one side. From the latter flow burnings, wounded feelings, recriminations, enmities, broken friendships, i ijured affections; from the former come peace, harmony goodwill, and happiness, The simple act of self-denial, in' restraining the expression of unpleasant feelings or harsl thoughts as they arise, is the foundation stone on which many a happy home is established, and many near and dear IViendsliips are built ; for nothing draws people so closely together as thc constant experience of mutual pleasure.

A few cents' worth of carbon bisulphide will kill the Insects hiding In the (-rucks of your bins waiting for the new grain. Insects injurious to stored i grains, says (J. A. Dean, a bug spe- friallst at tbe Kansas Agricultural col- j ilege, work so vigorously that the farm- , S er must either kill them, dispose of Ihis grain or sit still and allow them to J damage It. Killing these pests before ! : tlm grain Is stored prevents much duin- ] (age lu.tbe fall and winter, be says. | Oust, dirt, rubbish, refuse grain. Hour Und meal serve as breeding places for !

Throw this out Unless the old 'grain was badly In rested with anyone nf the four or live common injurious ■ Insects it muy not be- necessary to fumigate now. but a thorough cleaning of the floor, walls aud celling ■ , should not be neglected. To avoid Infestation In the stack the grain should lie thrashed as soon alter harvesting us possible. Considerable damage bus been done by these insects to stacked wheat nud oats lu Kansas In the last four or live years. j Oue pound of carbon bisulphide when tbe temperature is about 00 degree* will fumigate fiOO cubic feet of space. At 80 degrees -JOO cubic feet will be thoroughly treated. The building and bins must be as nenr If air tight aa possible while fumigating. Tbe carbon bisulphide should be placed in shallow pans at tlie top of tbe bins or building. Kntporntiou is rapid, the vapor settling to the bottom of thc bin and poisoning the Insects. If tbe grain Is uot to tie used for seed It Is well to allow tbe vapor to remain ln it for forty-eight hours. Doors and windows should b_ opened wide after the fuml. gatlon and the bins aired thoroughly one or two hours heforg entering. One should be very careful In handling carbon bisulphide, as It Is highly Inflammable. Electric lights must not he used, since when turning them on or off there always Is danger of producing a spark.

This "scalper" for weeds Is n simple affair and cau easily be made by any blacksmith in a short time, aud tbe cost, aside from the handle, need not exceed _o cents- It Is made of an Iron rod nbout twenty-four inches loug and three-sixteenths to one-fuurtb of an Inch lu diameter.

Farmers try to get tbelr hay "made* ■s rooii as possible, so that It shall escape tbe rain, for rain washes tbe goodness ont of hay, leaving It very poor food for animals. Thst is why, lustend of being left spread about the ground to dry, hay Is made up Into heaps called haycocks. Half an Inch of rain means fifty tons of water on an acre of land. If the bay Is spread about over the ground all those tl.-ty tona of water wash the goodness out of tbe hay. But If the crop la made Into haycocks these take up only one-tenth of the space. Therefore they are washed by only one-tenth of tbe rain water. In other words, as you cau at once see. the hsy la then washed by ouly flv-* Instead of fifty tons of water falling upon It This Is Ihe reason why hay Is mad* Into haycocks. Game of Still Palm.
