Take the word field, a square divided into sections or lots. When the word uiati is written beside the word field the combination makes the word farmer, indicating the avocation of a man who is associated with fields and agriculture. Still more suggestive is the Chinese word for truth, sincerity, faithfulness, honesty. It is formed by the combination of a man and word thus expressing that one form of honesty consists of a man standing by his word. The word for box is iu dicated by :» square having four sides of equal length, while a prisoner is literal ly a man iu a box, a fact which is often grewsomely illustrated in China when a criminal is sentenced to death, and is carried to the place of execution in a square box.

Nobody wants the neck; the between, some say, is good enough for them. But Devoe costs less, not more, than between. Lead and oil is between: it is the old-fashion paint. But zinc has come in. Zinc toughens white lead. Devoe lead and zinc is the paint. If you paint in three years, you do it for looks. Devoe does not wear out in three years. Yours truly 7 F. W. DEVOE & Co. FARM FOR SALE.

They had just got married, and were starting on their honeymoon. The bride had got the man she loved,and shedidn t care who saw her put her head on his shoulder. The bridegroom had got a farm with his wife, and if he wanted to squeeze her hand or feed her with sweets, whose business was it? A little old man sat opposite the couple and he looked at them so often that the young husband finally explaned; "We've just got married." '•I knowed it all the time, chuckled the' other. "And we can't help it. you know. "No. you can't; I'll be blowed if you can." "I presume it all seems very silly to an old man like you?" "Does it? Does it?" cackled the old fellow. "Well, I can tell you it does not, then. I've been there three times over, and now I'm on my way to marry a fourth. Silly? Why, children, it's paradise boiled down.' Teachers Take Notice. The report has come to me that cer tain book agents are visiting the teach ers of Butler county and telling them that "The County Supt. had sent them there to sell the teacher a set of histo ries." I wish to say that this is absolutely false, and unless you desire to buy said books on their own merits, yon should not allow the agent to talk you into buying the books because I have said that the history is a good one.

The report on Systematic Beneficence caused a hot discussion in the Presbyte rian Synod at Harrisburg. Saturday. The utterance which occasioned the trouble was the remark submitted by the Chairman of the Allegheny Synod's Committee, as follows: "As to the tith ing system it seenas nnscriptural. All that a Christian has and all that he is are already consectrated to the Lord and it is left to his good judgment how much, if any, is to be appropriated. No law of Scripture or of common sense binds him to one-tenth." Many of the delegates objected vigorously to this, and it was fiually stricken ont. A Pittsbnrg Covenanter church re cently dismissed one of its members be cause he was commissioned a notary public. Rev. G. D. Statler preached his initi atory sermon in the Church of God on Institute Hill, last Sunday. He has not yet secured a house.

There is a very common error abroad as to druggist's j weights, many believing that when they buy Cream of Tartar, Borax, Sulpher or any of the thousand and one items that druggists sell they get Apothecaries weight—l 2 ounces to the j pound. This is an error; we give you Avoirdupois j weight, 16 ounces to the j pound. Apothecaries j weight is used only in pre- j scriptions or in the prepar ation ot medicinal prepara tions. One pound Apoth ecary consists cf 12 ounces of 480 grains each, a total of 5760 grains to the pound. One pound Avoir dupois consists of sixteen ounces of grains each, a total of 7000 grains to the pound. The Avoirdu pois pound is heaviest by 240 grains, because it con tains sixteen Avoirdupois ounces. You get 7000- grain pounds here and the finest quality of drugs that money will buy. c. N.
