If is not strange that Tery few
men know themselves intimately.
No one cultivates disagreeable ac
quaintances.
McKinley says there are two
kinds of farmer, "thoBe who farm
the land, and those who farm the
farmers.
This state ranks second of all the
states in the percentage of inorease
in wealth during vhe past ten
years.
The only petnle who k.'ow how
U bring up childsen pre childless;
the only men who Know perlectly
how to run a railroad are those who
never had a chance to try; and the
tellow who knows how to run
newspaper is the follow that never
did it. .
Somebody should invent a mir
ror that will enable ut to see our
selves as others see us and every
professional' slanderer shauld be
presented with one of them at
public expense. An epidemic of
suicides might then be confidently
expected.
The rain-make.'s were complete
ly successful in (he experiments
at Corpus Christi, Texas, on Bat-
urday. Several bombs were tiis-
chareed up in the air, and soon
showers of rain fell over a limited
area, and continued half an hour.
Final experiments will be made
this week, after which tt party
will go to other points. Uncle
Jerry's officers are doing their best to
show good results before the nieeth g
of congress probably with a view
of a large appropriation.
There me many little ih'ngs about
whirling that people inquire about
ssi.vs the Ladies' Home Journal. The
b ide wiites a personal note of thanks
for every gift received, whether It be a
g it one or a Hide one, and if shecan
jmtdolhis before the ceremony, she
doesitafier the bridal trip. In the
lwrch the bridegroom's family and
friends sit at the right ofthe altar being
on the bridegrooms right band, while
thn-eof the bride are placed on the
left at the bride's left. The bridegroom
does Hot pay for anything connected
With the wedding unless be should
c'xe to send boqueto to the bride
maids and, or course, to the bride, and
prenente and hnutonuiers to hto best
man and the ushes. A widow re
moves her first wedding ring at her
second marriage, and does not iiwunie
it again, The engagement ling is
taken from the third finger of the left
band aud worn afterward as a guard
to the wedding ring. Itfe not consid
en d good taste to cut the fln-jei' out of
the glove for assuming the ling.
People retii.-oing f om Po-ttod,
after visiting the Exposition there pro
nounce it the greatest ever held on the
eoa.it The exhibits are far ahead of
any previous year, not only iu number
aud arrangement, but also in variety
and general appearance. The attrac
tions, especially the music and art, are
away above expectations. The Zupa
dores Baud, from the City of Mexico,
is discoursing wonderful ftnuolc, and
has made a decided hit. The range of
music performed seems to be without
limit, aud the fear that the baud
would confine itself to Mexican and
Spanish music has long since disap
peared. The art gallery is a revelation;
the paintings being the greatest that
have ever been placed in an exposition.
The mineral, horticultural, aud agri
cultural exhibits are a genuine surprise.
t wa minnosed that the Superintend
ent not being connected with mining
or agricultural industries wouiu neg
lect this Important branch of the Ex-,iiinn-
hut the result shows that It
has received more than the usual at-
wion and is a Eratifying success.
The horticultural departmedt is larger
thau it ever has been, ana me quuiuy
fmii la a nnroe of ereat admiration.
Other features have been added which
bring the Exposition far beyond expec
fe.is.ti. With the reduced rates onalt
.,.,,iriAtlnn lines this year, there is
no reason why people should uot go
