Said Farmer Jones in a whining tone, To bis good old neighbor Gray, "I'ye worn my knees through to the bone, But it ain't no use to pray. "Yonr corn looks just twice as good as mine. Though you don't pretend to be A shinin' light in the church to shine An' tell salvation' free. "I've prayed to the Lord a thousand times To make that ere corn grow ; An' why your'n beats it so an' climbs I'd give a deal to know.'' Said Farmer Grey to his neighbor Jones, In his quiet and easy way, "When prayers get mixed with lszy bones They don'i make farming pay. "Your weeds, I notice, are good aud tall, In spite of all your prayers ; You may pray for corn till the heavens fall, If you don't dig np the tares. "I mix my prayers with a little toil. Along in every row ; And I work this mixture into the soil, Quite yig'rous with a hoe. "So while I'm praying I use my hoe, And do my level best, To keep down the weeds along each row. And the Lord, lie does the rest. ' It's well to pray both night and morn, As every farmer knows; Hut the place to pray for thrifty corn Is right between the rows. "You mubt use your hands while praying though, If an answer yoa would get. For prayer-worn kness and a rusty hoe Never raised a big crop yet. And so I believe, my good old friend, If yon mean to win the day. From plowing, clean to harvest's end. Yoa must work as well as pray." The Way to Keep Him. "Out again to to-night?" said Mrs. Hayes, fretfully, as her husband rose from the tea-table, and donned bis great coat. "Yes, I have an engagement with More : I shall be in early ; have alight in the library. Good night," and with a careless nod, William Hayes left the room. "Always the way," murmured Lizzie, sinking back on the sofa, "out every night. I don't believe he cares one bit bout me, now, and yet we've' been mar ried only two years. No man can have a more orderly boost, I am sure; and never go anywhere; I am not a bit extravagant, and yet I don't believe he loves me any more. Oh ! dear, why is it? I wasn't rich, he didn't marry me for money, and he must have loved me then why does he treat me with such neglect?" and with her mind filled with such fretful queries, she fell asleep npoa the BO fa. Let me paint her picture as she lay there. She was a blonde, with a small graceful figure, and a very pretty face. The hair, which showed by its waves its natural tendency to curl, was brushed smoothly back and gathered into a rich knot at the back; "it was such a bother to curl it," said ; her cheek was pale, and the whole face wore a discontented ex pression. Her dress was a neat chintz wrapper, but she wore no lace at the neck or sleeves, "What's the use of dressing just for William?" Lizzie slept soundly for two hours, and then awoke suddenly. She sat up, glanc ed at the clock, and sighed drearily at the prospect of a long .interval still to be spent alone before bed time. The library was just over the room in which she eat, and down the furnace flue, through the registers, a oice came to the young wife's ears ; it was her husband's. "Well, Moore, what's a man to do? I was disappointed, and must have pleas ure somewhere. Who would have fan cied that Lizzie Jarvis, so pretty and sprightly, snd loving, could change to the fretful dowdy she is now? Who wants to stay at home to hear his wife whining all the evening about aer trou blesome servants, and her headache, and all sorts of bothers ? She's got the knack of that dawdling whine so pat, that, 'pon my life, I don't believe she can speak pleasantly. Lizzie sat as if stunned. Was this true? She looked in the glav. If not xactly dowdy, her costume was certain ly not suitable for an evening, even if it were an evening at home, with only William to admire. She rose, and softly went to her room with bitter sorrowful thoughts, and a firm resolution to win back her husband's heart, and, then, his love regained, to keep it. The next morning William came into the breakfast room with his usual care leas manner, but a bright smile came on his lips as he saw Lizzie. A pretty ging ham, with neat collar and sleeves of snowy muslin, and a wreath of soft, full curls had really metamorphosed her; while the blush her husband s admiring glance called up to her cheek did not de tract from her beauty. At first William thought there must be a guest, but glanc ing around he found they were alone. Come, William, your coffee will be stone cold, said Lizzte, in a cherry, pleasant voice. "It must cool till you sweeten my breakfast with a kiss," said her husband, crossing the room to her side, and Liz zie's heart bounded, as she recognized the old lover's tone and manner. Not one fretful speech, not one com plaint, fell upon William's ear through the meal. The newspaper, his usual so lace at that hour, lay untouched, as Liz zie chatted gaily on every pleasant sub ject she could think of, warming by his gratified interest and cordial manner. Yoa will be home to dinner?" she said, as be went out. "Cant to-day, Lizzie ; I have business out of town, but I'll be home early to tea. Have something substantial, for I don't expect to dine. Good-bye," and tbe smiling look, warm kiss, and lively whistle, were a marked contrast to bis lounging, careless gait, the previous even ing, "I am in the right path." said Lizzie, in a low whisper. "Oh 1 what a fool I have been for two years! A fretting dowdy r William, yoa shall never say that again." Lizzie loved her husband with real wifely devotion, and her lip would quiv er as she thought of bis confidence to his friend Moore; but lika a brave little woman she stifled back the bitter feel ings, and tripped off to perfect her plans. Tbe grand piano, silent for months, was opened, and the linen covers taken from the - funiture, Luaie thinking : "lie shan t find any pnrlors more attractive than his own, I am determined." Tea time came, and William came with it A little figure, in a tasty bright new dress, smooth curls, and oh ! such a lovely blush and smile, stood ready to welcome William, as he came in ; and tea time passed as the morning's meal had done. After tea, there was no movement as usual, toward the hat-rack. Wiliiam stood up besides the table, lingering, chatting, till Lizzie also arose. She led him to the light warm parlors, in their?

I "But you always say you are it of practice when I ask you." f "I had the piano tuned this mfiing. Now, open it, and we will eedwit sounds." William obeyed joyfully, and ssing aside her sewing, Lizzie took tltfiano stool. She had a very sweet vte, not powerful, but most musical, anwasa very fair performer on the piac "Ballads, Lizzie?" j "Oh! yes, 1 know you dislil opera music in a parlor.

It forms laree forests in soma districts of Venezuela, and is much priz ed for its product The tallow tree of China is so called from the fact that it produces s substance resembling tallow, and which is used for similar purposes. The fruit is enclosed within a pod. A white pulp is found within, and this substance the Chinese use in making candles, mixing a little il witb it to make it softer and more pliable. The paper tree of the South Seas is a species of the mnlberrv. Its inner bark is so delicate that a soft and pleasant feeling cloth is made from it, which the natives use in making their "best suits." It is also used to the manufacture of a very fine grade of paper.

A decidedly pleasing feature of the Conference was tbe music This was in I charge of Mrs. George H. Hocking. Ths selections were appropriate and well ren dered. Several beautiful recitations were given by little Jennie Brendle, of Law rence, Mass. The Band of Hope also in terspersed the exercises with songs and recitations. Impressive memorial services were held in honor of Miss Belle KimmvlL Much time was given on Friday morning and afternoon to the reading of reports from local unions and superintendents. These showed a good condition of the union. The reports of superintendents develop ed considerable discussion, which we re gret wss not heard br every member of each local onion.

It has a physiological basis. We sleep, for the most part, on the side, and without a pillow the head would be un comfortably and harmfully lower than the body. It will be remembered that Jacob, when fleeing from Esau, took a stone for a pillow. He needed something for the purpose, snd nothing better than a stone presented iteelf. Such practices are common in Africa at the present day. Some people rest the neck instead of the head on hard pillows. In Africa ex traordinary headgears make this practice necessary, and many a civilized woman has been compelled by a somewhat simi lar coiffure to forego both the pillow and the recumbent posture. A consideration of the physiological reason for pillows will suggest their prop er thickness. They should merely bring the head to the natural level. Some pil lows are much too thick. By bending neck unduly, they interfere with the out flow of the venous blood from the head. Tbe pillow that just fills up the space above the shou'.der best suits its end. Again, the pillow of feathers are ob jectionable. While they furnish the needed support for the head, they are too herting, as they have a remarkable ca pacity for holding and accumulating heat It should be remembered that more blood, and banco more heat, goes to the head than to any part of the body. Head heating pillows are against the whole some maxim. "Keep the feet warm, but the head cooL" There is nothing better than the hair pillow. Further, the pillow is for ths head, not for the shoulders. To rest the shoulders on tbe pillow defeats ths very end for which it is used. Finally, special cars should be taken of infants in this matter. We have seen their heads sunken deep in the softest and thickest of pillow s, and their faces, as a natural consequence, covered with great beads of perspiration.

RESOLCTIO.SS. In humble dependence upon God, and in grateful acknowledgement of the Di vine wtsJom we, the Woman's Temper ance Union of Somerset County declare the object of the W. C. T.

We deprecate the efforts being made in our State against the enforcement of ths laws that would compel its observance, and would earnestly and persistently protest against snch efforts, and will use all pos sible means to enforce the laws and pro mote the sanctity of tbe Lord 's day. 6, That it would be a desecration of the Sabbath to have the World's Fair open on the Sabbath ; we therefore respectful ly, but most earnestly request the World's Fair Commission to keep the doors clos ed on the Sabbath day, and allow no un necessary work to be done on that sacred day. . 7, That we emphasize the necessity of an increased and untiring activity in the work for a purer civilization, an equal coda for man and woman, better laws for the protection of young girlhood and that ws oppose witb oar might all laws or de vices for the regulation of vice. 8, That we give special care to the law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to min ors, reco?nizing the fact that whatever excites the sppetite without strengthing the body, tends to create a craving for spirituous liquors, and detracts from the parity we endeavor to inculcate. 9, In the Amendment campaign the have, in any way, contributed to the suc cess of the Convention, we tender a most heartfelt " thank you."

Not Tery long ago a large herd of cattle were resting up a few miles from Yinita, in the Indian Terrifory, before being driv en across the line to Kansas. The boys belonging to ;the outfit were a particularly hard lot, andjin six weeks no less than five cooks had left the camo in disgust, as no matter what they did or how well the fxd was prepared, the men were sure to growl. The head boss was in a quandary w hen the fifth aian left, as he knew he would have a hard job to find another. To his surprise, however, -on after sunrise next morning a short, sinewy son of Erin walked into camp, and, after lighting his pipe, sat down on a dilapida- rvi Kripeaca ana inquired 11 a cook was wanted. It did not take the bess long to make a bargain with the man, who said his name was MacMillan. Next morning, however, the fun began and one man asked Mac where he learn ed to fry pork, another remarked that he forgot to put the coffee in the pot, but he was deaf to all until Joe Taylor, the big gest man in the camp, said he'd be hang ed it He could eat such biscuit as these, and if there was no improvement in the grub at noon the cook would hear some thing drop. At the first mention of the biscuit the pipe fell from Mac's mouth, and he stood listening until Taylor had finished, and then, walking quietly over to the wagon, he fished out a pair of Colt's revolvers) and marching up to the growler, he shouted : " You ain't got no appetite, but you sit down and eat them biscuit, or I'll ping you before you can wink !" There was a wicked look in Mac's eyes as he spoke, and Taylor saw that the new cook meant buaines. He had a pistol in his belt, but he aiso knew that before he could draw it he would be a dead man. Eat them biscuits !" came the order the rest of the crowd sat a grin, taking in all the fun. There was no help for it, so Taylor sat down, and before Mac let him go he had eaten every biscuit in the pan and was stuffed so full he could hardly manage to breathe. " I thought yoa would soon find yoar appetite," said Mae. Then turning to the rest of the boys, he asked : " How's the coffee ?' Every one replied that it was fine and all agreed that the pork was cooked to a torn. Mac stayed with the outfit several months, and when he left the boys swore he was the best cook west of the Missis sippi river. Fram-itco Call.

About midnight Saturday niijht three men were standing at the corner of Wood ward and Jefferson avenues, appareatiy waiting for a car, when a quarrel arose and a little fellow in a gray suit began to berate a much larger uian in the most vigorous manner, while the third party acted as a witness.

"What the deuce did yon t-ike that sort of talk for?" he exclaimed, anriiv " Why didn't you smack him one in the mouth ?" "I couldn't do it," replied the big man.
