"A man's lifo consisteth not In tho abundance of the thing's which ho pes sesseth." One may possess largo woftllh, hinh Mioiul iHiniliini, nud super ior intellectual talents and attainments, and yet livo a low, narrow, mean, base lifo. Another may bo destitute of wealth mid position and Intellectual culture, and yet by pure and noble thoughts, righteous and holy impulses and principles, benevolent and (renerous actions, bo may live a broad, deep, , prand and glorious life. It is not disgraceful to make a mis take. Those who never mako mistakes never do any thing worth mentioning. The attitude of men with refei-enco to their mistakes is sometimes disgraceful. One who cannot seo his own errors, even when they are pointed out, will not make much improvement. Until we discover and deplore our defects, wo will not tako pains to remedy them. Frankness in confessing faults is n great grace. When one becomes so perfect . in his own estimation that ho has no occasion to confess his faults to his neighbor, he Is wull-nleh beyond tho reuch of hope. It tins boon stated that Hon. W. O. Smith, editor Punxsutawney Spirit, will not bo a candidate again for tho legislature. The Brockwayville llrwrd says: "It is a pity to lose a good repre sentative in the prime of his usefulness. Mr. Smith was just beginning to wield an influence in tho legislature and his ability had already attained a state recognition. Tin had served hisappren ticeship and was well epuippod to intel ligently porform tho duties of represen tative with credit to himself and his constituency." Tho Jiiconl suggests -that Smith ha a candidate for Congress, and adds that ''no other candidate .Tof forson county could bring forth would be so well equipped as W. O. Smith." A little personal piquo, a bit of wounded vanity, a sudden flamo of an for often undoes the most substantial and faithful work, and nullifies the most intelligent and wise action. It is ono of the painful things in exporioneo that effort is often defeated by these small, purely personal, and often momentary footings, which aro genorally unintelli gent and unwise. Lifo would be freed from some of its most painful features if men always acted to each othor on a basis of roal justloo and intolllgonco, and left their small porsonnl feelings and prejudices out of sight. A man's work ought to bo judged by Itsolfand for Itself alono, and the strength of a man's position ought to rest solely upon what ho Is able to do. And yet most of us lire constantly neutralising tho host work of ot hers because it is not done in our way, and aro constantly failing to do justice to others bocause of some small porsonal prejudice against them. Tho really strong, cloar-sightod man Ib the man who is able to put himself out of the question, and to judge others by what they really are and do, not by their rotations to him. Tho following words of wisdom we clip from an articlo on the public school, printed in the Altooua Tribune. "Parents owe Important duties to the public schools. One of the most Im portant is to see that the children aro sent to school as early in the term as possible and regularly. There Is noth ing which so milltatos against the child's success as irregular attendance. Even one day a week counts up con siderable during tho term and the ohlld feels it sensibly. It is cruelly unjust to send a ohild only about half the time and then criticize thy toucher beciuse so little progress U made. The wonder Is that there Is any advance at all. Another Important parental duty is to stand by the teacher In every contro versy in which, he and the pupils may become involved. There may be times when the parent bolleves.gross injustice has been done his ohild, but however indignant he may be, or whatever he may say to the teacher in private con versation ooneerning the matter, a due '.' regard for the welfare of the ohlld re quires that implioit obedience to all the commands of the teacher be insisted upon from him. Many a boy has been ruined by the injudicious partisanship, of his father or mother. H is a thing that should be guarded against. We Can't Do Without the Merchants. One might an well talk about doing without schools, or husbands might as well talk about doing without their wives as to talk about doing without the merchants. There would bo just as much nonsense in doing without ono n tho other. To hear somo people talk one would suppose that merchnnis wero tho worst set of individuals to be found anywhere. "They never have wliut you WBnt" we henr ono woman say; "They ask too much for (heir goods" another remarks, and, llko tho printer they aro continually at fault in somo peoplo's eyes. Hut, truthfully, now, isn't it the fault ofton with the people? Somo send to the city for certain lines of goods, (as true as some merchants send out of town for their printing) and the morchnnts at homo not finding a ready sale for that line because so many buy In thecities can't afford to keep "stocked up" with such goods just for tho people to look at, and then when the jiorson who "can't get what sho wants at home" rushes in to tho homo store and wants a pleco of goods to match her city purchase and doesn't get it, then somebody is mad and declares to her friends that sho can "never," and she emphasizes the word, "get what she wants at tho homo stores." If such people would patronize homo trade our merchants would then be able to keep in stock about everything a person would want. If we hadn't mer chants at all wo would have a nice time getting goods delivered just as we should want them. In regard to tho matter of prices many people do not know how to do shopping. That in itself is a matter that often determines tho economy or the extravaganco of the buyer. Wo don't mean that "shopping" is standing around for hours trying to get a ten cent articlo for nine cents. This mut ter of shopping should bo so culti vated that it will become an art. Indeed, it should be recognized as part of a girl's education to shop wisely and well. Even tho most careful mothers give this all-important matter but little thought. Music, art and tho languages aro addi'd to a substaneial education with perhaps a few lessons in cookery thrown in; hut where is tho teacher or tho parent to be found who thinks it necessary to so train a girl In tho art of shopping that sho will bo brought to consider thrifty mnnn.,?omcnt not a bore but a most womanly accomplishment that, once acquired, wilt bring with it a delightful feeling of self-reliance. Another matter that will help ono in shopping successfully is in keeping post ed .on tho advertisements. Tho up-to-dato advertisement is an educator and a careful reading of them every week will often save a woman timo and money ar.d tirosomo walking around from storo to store to find what she wants. Head the ads and they will help you. Punxsu tnwney JWim. Strayed from tho premises of tho undersigned, about tho 1st of Aug., a red and white spotted two year old heifer.

It offers to pay 23 per cent, of all "cash in advance" subscrip tions for four months ($1.00) or longor, recoived by it botwoon now and April 1, 18IHI, to such chnrchos as tho remitters may Indicate. In addition to this liber al commission, it offers twonty-throo cash contributions, ranging from $1,000 down to $23, and aggregating $2,500, to the twenty-three congregations securing the largest number of subscriptions un der the terms of Its offer. This Is a unique plan for introducing the Times into more families than it is now go ing to, and ono which is bound to benefit churches to the amount of the commis sions, to say nothing of tho munificent oflFor of $2,500 in cash contributions. Full details of tho plan may be seen in tho Times any day. Already a large number of churches have availed them selves of tho offer mado. While some goods are higher, many are lower.

A suggestion of a new source of in come from the India rubber tree is con tained in a pamphlet by Renhor da Cnnha, recently published by the state government of Para. According to this author, it is probable that before many years elapse an important trade will be developed in the seeds of tho rnluVr tree, which are very Mimidniit nnd yield an important quantity of oil, which is said to compare favorably with linseed oil. Up to the present time this cil has been extracted ouly in small qnnntit.iox, bnt with the more systematic regit lnt ion of the rubber industry which the aulhut predicts it is expected that the rnliber tree seed will be included among tho valnnblo resources of the country. If it is indeed true that such oil enn bo made from the seeds of the robber tree, nnd one that is similnrto linseed oil, it mny be that thence will be produced the ideal rubber substitute. It ia a well known fact that the nearest approaches to a substitute for India rubber hnve been made from linseed and kindred oils, and perhaps the oil of the rubber seeds Will be exactly what the trade has so long been looking for. -Rubber World. Fond Makra the Man. Food is force. As a rule, few people know how to eat Tlioy fail to realize that the quality of all mental action is determined by tho qnality of food. Lack of energy and buoyancy of spirit is of ten as fatal to good work as is illness itself, and there is no question bnt that hygienic cooking produces directly the one or the oilier. There is such a thing as "a cooking menu" tho scientific solving of tho problem. Tho universal tenipernnco reform will begin when good cooking becomes tho rnlo rnthor than the exception in every household. The extra elaboration of pastry should give way to excellence in tho prepara tion of simple foods, of steak perfectly broiled, gixxl bread, a realization of tho valne of fruit, nnd a toa and coffee mado in n way thnt retains their flavor and stimulus. With hygienic fond, reason ably early hottrs of sleep nnd nn inti mnte acquaintance with fresh air, n clearness and vigor of mind can be constantly held that will act on afTairs with successful energy. Journal of Honsehold Economics. Cnrloua Customs In Jnplamd. Jnpaneso folks havo six or eight pock ets cunningly inserted in the cuffs of their' wide sleoves. These pockets aro always filled with a curions miscellany peculiar to the droll little people. As common as twine in Young America's pocket is the prayer amulet written on dolicuto sheets of rice paper and com posed by the bonzes. In accordance with the nbiding and funny faith of tho Jap anese women theso prayers are swal lowed, paper and all, like a pill, in all cases of mental and physical distress. Another essential never missing is a number of small squares of silky paper, which are put to tho most unexpected purpose to hold the stem of a lotus or lily, to dry a teacup, wipo away a tear or blow the absurd little noso of the doll like little woman. Tho very smartest peoplo of Japan use this stylo of hand kerchiof for practical purposes. After using, n ball is mado of the paper, and it is thrown in the street with disgust. Farm and Fireside. Do Men Got on Their KneeaT Did you ever know a man to get on his knees in proposing marriage? Cnn yon imagine n man a man, wo mean making such an abject fool of him self? If he is worthy of the girl, ho brings as much to the proposed union as she perhaps more. Why, then, should ho hum ill ate himself? His proposition can not bo other than flattering to her. It is a serious mutier and should be treated seriously. She will respect dignity, re spect self respect On tho other hand, if a man is un worthy of the union he seeks, no amount of pleading and cringing can possibly glorify him in tho girl's eyes. It cannot kindle admiration for him, cannot bring him up to her level. Isn't it about time to eliminate from our books and from our conversation this idea of tho lover gotting on his knees?
