Every now and again somebody
makes tbe suggestion tbat farmers
should put their names on the front of
their places. The idea is a good one,
and if it is well adopted ib would make
cdunbry drives and wheeling trips
much more interesting. It would often be a real conyenieace, too as anyone will agtee who has walked back 40
rods or so from the road to a farm
bouse to And out when he got there
that be had struck the wrong-place.
While coming to the city last Tuesday morning, Mrs. Julia A. Smith, in

wheels ran off, precipitating the party
Into the road, and although Mrs.
Smith is 81 years of age she managed
her team with the skill of an experienced horseman, thus saving a runaway with perhaps serious results.
An editor wbo knows Says that
dreams of prosperity differ with tbe
individual, The small boys idea of
perfect, earthly happiness is six pieces
of pie at a meal. The farmer's richest
feeling is to muse over that 50 acres of
wheat-—thab he didn't plant, The bicyclist's most prosperous idea is a
smooth track around the World, The
confidence man has visions of green
TQOssbacks coming to town in droves.
The country editor's most extrayagant
dream is how bice It would be for a
dozen or more subscribers to call in
and pay, all in one day,
What a bowl would go up if all the
newspapers were to criticise the individual as freely as many people criticise the newspapers. Every issue of a
live and reputable newspaper is a mantle of charitv, and the matter left out
—truth, not gossip—would often more
(ban equal in volume tbe matter published. If an editor could get out a
cold fact edition someday, and then
get up a tree and watch the result—
whew what a picnic it would be!
It is the fancy of the day for girls to
discard the feather pillow and bolster,
aud to sleep on a small flat pillow filled
with clover tops, This pillow does
not measure over ten bysixteen inches
and is somewhat loosely filled wltb
the clover heads. It is provided with
pillow-slips to fit, upon which is embroidered one clover bead, Tbe idea
is that the clover is not beating as
are feathers, the dried cloyer tops being as near nature as any filling and
thesnalljpillow seryes bo keep tbe
back and neck sbraighb, and to prevent
round shoulders deyeloping.
There are several young men in this
city wbo wonder and often give expression to their opinion as to why
tbey could'not secure such and such a
position. Should tbey analize their
actions they would readily find a solution to their perplexity. Among tbe
many things tbey will bave to leain
are: First, to be courteous; second,
when asked a civil question to answer
it civilly; third to keep their hands off
bhings not belonging to them; fourth,
they musb nob imagine that they are
tbe world, around whom everyone else
revolves. It is a fact to be deprecated
that shoulil any one of the majority of
our business men be called upon to
recommend this or that young man,
they could not do so and retain their
own self respect.
It costs tbe Royal Baki ny Powder Co
something like 8500,000 annually for
advertising, says an exchange. Someone suggested to tbe company tbat it
discontinue advertising one year, the
baking powder was so well ktiown and
advertised, and place that amount,
$500,000, in the profits. Tbe answer
was tbat it would undoubtedly cost
the company three time tbe amount
to get the product in its origoal channels again. This is a pretty good
pointer for those business men who
imagine they aie making a great saving when they discontinue a $_ or a $6
a month advertisement a few months
in the dull seasons. It never pays to
tear out a dam because the water is
low.
A man who went away from borne
some time ago to attend a convention
of church people was struck witb the
beauty of tbe little town in which the
gathering was held. He bad plenty of
time and while wandering about walked into th. cemetery, It was a beautiful place and the delegate walked
around the graves. He saw a monument, one of the largest in tbe cemetery and read witb surprise tbe inscription on it: "A Lawyer and Honest
Man." Tbe delegate looked at bbe
monumenb again. He read bbe inscription over and over. Then he
looked all around bhe monumenb and
examined the grave closely. Another
man in tbe cemetery asked bim:
•'Haye you found tbe grave of an old
friend?" "No," said bhe delegate,
"but I was wondering how tbey came
to bury those two fellows in one graye
Yet a new ratio bas tne golden harvest in Michigan given to  the sunburned sicklemon.    The reapers bave
come in from the fruitful fields, followed by wagonloads of sheaves; tbe
threshers  have come and given the
gudewife a houseful of men folks to
cook for; tbe crop reporters have figured it all out, and their finding is
that the Lord of the harvest has blest
the Michigan husbandmen in greater
measure than eyer before.   Tbe wheat
fields of the state haye averaged I9.6_
bushels to the acre.   The estimated
yield is 34,162.563  bushels, and  these
are alsorecord-breakingfigures.   "Sixteen to one" is tha shibboleth of silver's undismayed  champions.     But
here is almost unlimited golden coinage in nature's mints at th. ratio of
nineteen and one-half to one, good iu
any market of the universe.   Here is
life and hope and  prosperity Issuing
from  the Michigan farms in a most
ample and generous proportion. Nineteen and a half to one is Michigan's
magnificent ratio, indepeudent.of the
aid and consent of any other wheat-
yielding nation on earth,
