A BEDFORD clergyman was very anx­ ious to introduce some new hymn books into the church and arranged with the clerk that the latter was to give out the notice immediately after the sermon. The clerk, however, had a notice of his own to give out with reference to the bap tisrn of infants. Accordingly at the end of the sermon he arose and announced: "All those who have children whom they wish baptizad are requested to send their names to the clerk." The minister, who was very deaf, assuming that the clerk was giving out the hymn book notice, immediately rose and said: "And I should like to say for the benefit of those who haven't any that they may be ob­ tained ia the vestry, any day from 3 to 4 o'clock; the ordinary little ones at one dollar each and special one with red backs at one dollar and four cents." REMEDY FOR FLIES ON CATTLE --Take coal tar two parts and coal oil and grease one part each and mix with a small amount of carbolic acid. Apply with a cloth by moistening the hair and horns of the animal with the liquid.. In the applications include feet and legs and it will drive every fly away, aud one ap­ plication will last ten days or more in dry weather. Apply as often as neces­ sary and your cows will be entirely secure from flies of all kinds. Any kind of old lard or grease .will do. Coal tar is the base of this remedy, and when too thick to spread well, use more coal oil; when too thin to adhere well use more coal tar. Carbolic acid will cost about 50 or 60 cents in crystals by the pound, and every farmer should always keep it on hand, as it, in its many uses, is indispen- sible. This remedy is equally effective as a lice exterminator on poultry, and is used simply by painting the sides of the hennery and roosts and dropping boards with the liquid. For young chickens sat­ urate a cloth and place in the bottom ot a box and place the mother and young chickens in the box for an hour or so. This recipe, says H. F. Work, in the Drainage Journal, is equal to any prep­ aration in the market. Where the Bankers Would Get It. " Why, I assert if what Mr. Bryan eays is true, or if you could make it true, that if any class of citizens of this country would make moneys by the degradation of our nation to a silver basis, the bank­ ers of this country would be that, class. The banks of the Uuited States to day contain within their vaults near­ ly one half of the entire gold of the Unit- ed States. If to-morrow the banker* should wake up and find the government, upon a silver standard every gold dollar in their vaults would be worth two silver dollars They could sell it for two silver dollars, take one silver dollar and pay off their depositors and have $180,000,- 000 profit."-- TV. I). Hynnm at New York. It certainly is not difficult to compre­ hend the force aud truth of this state­ ment;--Noone can-doubfc-it for a mo- meut. But what employer of-labor could continue paying wages in dollars as good as gold? And why should th« workingman not have the best dollar, or a dollar as good as any other dollar, which he has now.

M. ENGLEN say S that someone has car­ ried off a Grindstone standing in front of his store. That they took the Grind­ stone but left the frame. Now he wishes to inform said individual, whoever he may be, that he has no use for the frame, and if they will cull around and take it away he will treat them to the best cigar to be. found in town and ask no ques­ tions. If they are unwilling to do this he would like to have .then*-bring back the grindstone. And again ho questions will be asked. THE DesMoines Mail is responsible for this: "At a recent appeal for help in one of the churches in Zululand the con­ gregation responded nobly with, ninety- three baskets of mealies, seven head of cattle, one horse, some sheep and a num­ ber of chickens. The people who gave chickens put a feather on the plate as an earnest of their intentions and brought in the chickens afterwards. Hereafter when in our churches a button is put into the contribution box, the trousers, it is expected, will be sent to the minister's house after the service is over."

You state "There is a report in circulation around the county fhat the G. A. R. boys are in sympathy with Dick Gainor."

ONE of the causes for the failure of local enterprises is the failure on the pai t of many people to comprehend that whatever injures any business in a com­ munity reflects injury upon the people of that community. Home enterprises should be loyally supported by home people. It is too often the case that a business that is of incalculable benefit for a locality is hampered or ruined through jealousies. Some people are eo constituted that t.hey cannot endure to see an acquaintance fairly prosperous, while they are perfectly willing to con­ tribute to tho prosperity of a stranger. The person who makes his money here and spends it elsewhere need not be sur­ prised to find that others imitate bis ex­ ample, and that, in the course of events, crashes result, which throws him out of employment or entails severe losses in other ways. Loyalty to home and home interests is essential to the prosperity ot any community." ' ̂ '"the "Way Out" of the Money Difficulty A small pamphlet, of remarkable inter ns est, and "meaty" in facts and thoughts.p,- written by Moses Samelson, comes to ut-y-" from John B. Alder., publisher, of Ne\\i(*" York. It treats of the origin and func­ tion of money as a medium of exchangf^ aud exposes the fallacy and sophistry OIQ^ many schemes before the public. It is aoo masterful treatment of che whole subjectOO and will give the reader a comprehensive* knowledge of the most vital question of the day. It presents as the true "way out" of the financial muddle a joiut- metallism (not bimetallism) scheme, in which gold and silver furnish the basis and security for paper money to be issued by the government, as more con­ venient aud desirable than the direct use of the metals. The author discusses many aspects of the financial question in a way easily understood by all readers. Send r two-cent stamp for a copy of the pamphlet to the publisher, and you will get a big two-cents' worth of thought and entertainment. earn our own living in preference to free soup to keep us from starving, for we must eat that we may be euubled to work, and must work that we may bo en­ abled to oat.
