More Fun On The Farm.
The gamesomeness o f the human an­
imal—the desire fo r rest, and recrea­
tion, o f intellectual man—both call
vigorously for satisfaction, and things
are not rightly disposed on our farms
where these fundamental facts are not
remembered. Time spent in play by
workingmen is not lost. L et this truth
sink into the minds o f our “practical”
readers.
One continual “demnition grind” is
w h a f drives the youDg man from the
farm, and scares the man o f thought
away from agricultural pursuits. ~We
have reason to thank God for farm ma­
chinery; more, even than our wives
for the sewing machine, •but neither
man. nor w ife is acting wisely who
takes no advantage o f such great bless­
ings, by using a part o f the saved time
and money in recreation for themselves
and their dependents.
Our bodies aud minds are worn out,
our lives are made sad and shortened
by too much hard work. The word
“recreation” is rightly used to denote
the playful sports that do recreate
both mind and body. W e believe in
running the farm for all it is worth
and all the year round. Make farming
a business, by ail means, but for the
very sake o f the best profit, do not
make it drudgery without relief, to
any one.
The workman is worthy o f his hire;
and he is also worthy o f his sport. Ev­
ery farming neighborhood ought to
have its organized sports, to lighten
labor, to promote good fellowship, to
enliven exisience, to perfect and adorn
social life. It is not good to see sta­
tistics showing more insauity on the
farm than elsewhere. Life, without
social enjoyment and sport, tends to
mental disease.
A lm ost Made Good,
N ot long ago a woman came into
the counting room of a certain news­
paper and drew a long face at the same
moment that she drew a handsome
pockethook from the depths o f her
dress.
. “I want an advertisement put in the
newspaper,” said the woman to one of
the clerk’s at the coimter.
“Y es; what kind of an advertise­
ment?”
The woman fidgeted a little and
fumbled the pockethook.
“I ’ll tell you how it is,” she said.
‘Six months ago I —I stole this pocketbook in a store. Since that time I ’ve
experienced religion, and I want to
make my conscience easy, you see. So
1 want you to put. in an advertisement
that for ten dollars in cash I’ll return
the pockethook!”—Boston Transcript.
A H ealtky(Turtle.
A remarkable story is .told by the
Beatrice (Neb.) Democrat o f tlie bill­
ing of 30 pigs by a turtle. F . M. Pethoud, who resides some four miles north
of Beatrice, on Indian creek, missed
his young pigs, one or two going each
day. Thorough search threw no light
on their mysterious disappearance un­
til one day the lured hand saw the hogs
considerably disturbed by something,
and hearing a young pig squeal, he
rushed down to the edge o f the creek
and there saw a large turtle with a
young pig in its mouth. The turtle
had.killed the pig and was eating-it.
The man killed the turtle, and it meas­
ured nearly two feet across the back
and had a head as large as his two
hands.
The DeadlySCigarette.
An analysis o f a dozen brands of ci­
garettes has been made in Chicago, and
the results are such that cigarettesmokers cannot regard them with com­
placency. Almost every brand was
found to have been “ doctored” to a
greater or less degree. W hile the in­
jurious ingredients (apart from the to­
bacco Itself) vary somewhat, there is
enough in each variety to induce smok­
ers who value their health to give up
cigarettes altogether. Of all the forms
in which tobacco is used, this is doubt­
less the most harmful, especially as the,
cigarette habit has such a firm and
growing hold on boys and young Then.

“Keep away from that!” said a res­

W hat a “ Close Shave” Means.
Do you know what a close shave
means ? I never did until I looked at
a face the other day through the micro­
scope which had been treated to this
luxurious process. Why, the entire
skin, resembles a piece o f raw beef. To
make the face perfectly smooth re­
quires not only the removal o f thehair,
but also a portion of the cuticle, and a
close shove means the removal of a
layer of skin all round. The blood­
vessels thus exposed are not visible to
the eye, but under the microscope each
little quivering mouth holding a mi­
nute blood drop protests against such
cruel treatment.—San Francisco F ell­
oes.
L iv e Men.
Some.men never seem to grow old.
Always active in thought, always
ready to adopt new ideas, they are
never chargeable with fogyism. Satis­
fied yet ever dissatisfied, settled yet
ever unsettled, they always enjoy the
best o f what is and are the first to
find the best o f what w ill he.—Phila­
delphia Inquirer.

JOHN MORRIS, Proprietor,
In Memoriam.
Mr . S eth Smith died al Saginaw
City, Mich,, at the residence o f his
daughter, Mrs. Dr. Knight, on Friday
morning, Jan. l i , IS39. He had been
in poor health for many months, aud
hadsuffered greatly from a complica­
tion o f di teases, which the autopsy re­
vealed to he fatty degeneration of the
heart, tubercular deposits in the liver,
fibrous tubercular ulceration o f the
stomach, and cystic degeneration of
the right kidney.
E ight days before his death lie went
to Saginaw with his daughter, hoping
the change would be beneficial, but be
grew rapidly worse. His ’w ife and
daughter were summoned to bis bed­
side, and were with him when death
came to relieve him o f his sufferings.
The remains were brought to Bu­
chanan on Saturday, and the funeral
occurred at the Methodist Episcopal
church, Sunday afternoon, under the
auspices o f the Masonic Order, and
if as largely attended, both by the Ma­
sons and the general community, the
house being crowded to its utmost ca­
pacity, many standing up. The music’
was furnished by the choir o f the
church, and was tender and appropri­
ate. Rev. H .Y .W arren offered prayer.
The sermon ivas by Mr. Smith’s pastor,
Rev. S. L. Hamilton, who spoke from
Heb. x i, 4: “A n d b y it, he being dead,
yet speaketh”, his subject being, “N ot
dead or, The Influence o f a Good Life”,
H e called attention to the casket, the
silent form within, the closed eyes, the
sealed lips, the folded hands—lips that
first bade the speaker welcome, and
hands that shook his the first, when he
came to Buchanan—and said lie, “Is it
death? Y o u call it death, I say, n o ;
he lives; the good never die.” H e
then spoke o f the tribute which men
o f all classes had paid to the probity,
honesty, integrity and worth o f the
deceased, the uprightness o f his char­
acter, his faithfulness to all public
trusts, civil and religious, his careful
accounting o f all funds placed in his
bands, his careful keeping o f all rec­
ords which his official positions im­
posed and, above all, his faith in God
— o f the’ power o f faith in moulding
life and character; o f his splendid abilties as a class leader, and special gifts
in prayer; o f his great sufferings, and
o f his most triumphant death, and that
we speak of him as dead because of
the poverty o f our language; he had
simply entered into life eternal, and
by his influence, and faith, and prayer,
and godly example, he still lives, for
“By it, he being dead, yet speaketh.” Mr. Hamilton read an obituary no­
tice prepared by Mr. LeEoy Dodd,
from which we gather the following
facts:
Mr. Smith’ was horn Oct. 27,1827, at
Canboro, Ontario. A t the age o f six­
teen years he united with the M. E.
church, remaining a consistent and de­
voted member until his death. H e
had held nearly all the official positions
in church connection it was possible
for a lay member to fill, at the time of
bis death being class leader, steward
and trustee, besides being member of
and secretary of the board of district
trustees. In the civil list he had held
the office o f clerk o f the county court
in his native land, and had been a
member o f the school board and treas­
urer o f this township. H e became a
member o f Buchanan Lodge Y o . 08, F
So A . M., in 1809, occupying with
marked ability several o f the offices
in the Lodge, being a Past Master o f
the same at the time o f his death. He
was married to Sarah Jane Morrison,
at Canboro, Ont., Y o v . 2, 1847, at
which place they lived until May 28,
1888, when they came to Buchanan.
H e leaves to cherish his memory, amid
their sympathing friends, his wife and
six children, tw o sons and four daugh­
ters. Four children, tw o sons and
two daughters, were unable to be
present on account of great distance.

Effects o r th o Storm in Other lo ca litie s .
R eadin g , Fa., Jan. I0i—-A cyclone struck
this city shortly after 5 o’clock yesterday
afternoon, demolishing a number o f build­
ings, including Grimshaw Brothers’ silkmill. In thft latter ware upward o f S300 op­
eratives, who wero buried in the ruins.
Many have been hilled.
"When the cyclone struck Heading the
Fniladelphiu & Reading Railw ay company’s
paint shop was unroofed, and in less than
ten minutes the entire structure was envel­
oped in. Ilamos. Several gas chambers un­
derneath the passenger cars exploded, and
four persons were killed and several others
badly injured.
The killed are: George
Schaffer, Sh ridan Jones, Albert Lnydonberger and John Kohler.
The storm then continued eastward, deal­
ing ou t destruction in its path. Nine dwell­
ings on North Eighth and Marion streots
were unroofed ar.d otherwise badly damaged.
The cyclone cut a swath of about f'50 feet,
and everything in its way was either leveled
to the ground o r very badly wrecked. Tho
next building in its track was tho immense
silk mill; o f Grimshaw Bros,, loented at One
Hundred and Twentieth and Marion st roots.
This building was filled with operatives, and;
not a single soul escaped uninjured. The
structure, which was four stories high and
200 by 70 feet, is a mass o f ruins. Not a
single brick remains o f the beautiful build­
in g except the stock and engine-room. The
firo department was called out, and 10,000
men, women, and children quickly assem­
bled about tbe wrecked mill. The cries o f tho
wounded and dying and their friends were
heartrending*.
lYilling* hands, however,
quickly set to w o rk , and at 9;43 o’clock some
seventy persons had been taken o u t Twelve
o f these were dead and many fatally injured,
those who were less seriously hurt. were taken
to their homes, while those who received
m ore serious in juries were taken to the hos­
pitals.
P robably seventy-five to 1(10 escaped w
were dragged out l*y their friends. These
victim s w orked on the upper floors and were
thrown near the top o f the debris. A t some
places the bricks were piled twenty feet
deep, and underneath w ere lyin g human
bodies b y the score.
■While the townspeople, firemen and police
were hard at w ork rescuing the victims o f
the terrible calamity night fell, but in spite
o f the darkness and tbe driving storm the
rescuers kept on. In a few minutes a por­
tion o f the w reck o f the mill took fire, illu­
minating the ghastly and awful scene.
The work o f clearing away the debris at
the wrecked silk mill was continued through­
out tha night without interruption. Thurs­
day morning a large addition was made to
the working force and some twelve addi­
tional bodies were removed.
■ R eading , Pa., Jan. 12.—No more bodies
have been found since Thursday afternoon.
The w reck has been thoroughly explored and
all bodies have been removed. The official
list o f the killed furnished b y the firm Fri­
day morning is eighteen, as follow s: Sallie
C. Bickel, IS years old; A m elia Christman,
17 years; Henry S. Crocker, 23 years (his
body -will be taken to Connecticut for
burial); Sallie Faust, 10 years; Mary Fitz­
patrick, IS years; Tillie Grow*, 10 years; Sallie; Harner, 14 years; Laura Kershuer, 17
y ea rs; E va Leeds, 17 years; Emma Nester,
23 years; John Reber, 23 years (leaves a wife
and tw o children); Ella Reightnauar, 15
years; Lillie E. Schaffer, 14 years; Sallie
Schaffer, sister o f Lillie (died Thursday aft­
ernoon fro m the effects of her injuries);
Barbara A . Seilheimer, 15 yeai*s; Sarah
Shade, 17 years (taken out alive, but died;
after being rem oved to her hom e); W illiam
Snyder, 23 years (leaves a wife and one
child); Sophia F. Winkelman,_ 22 years.
The number o f killed was greatly exag­
gerated, owing to the confusion and failure
o f those who escaped to report the fact.
Messrs. Grimshaw are positive no others
were killed. M any o f the injured, however,
•are in a critical condition, and it is likely
some will die.

INCOME OF THE FARMS.
"What tile W heat, Corn, and Outs In XSS8
Was Worth—An Increase Over 1887.
W ashington Cit v , Jan. 1*1.—Tho Decem­
ber report o f the department of agricul­
ture, which publishes in detail estimates o f
some o f tho more important crops, tnakos
the product of corn 1,1187,700,002 bushels,
grown on 71,072,703 acres, valued on the
farm at §1577,501,5S0, or 34.1 cents per
bushel, against 44 4 fo r tho crop o f 1.SS7,
a decrease o f 23 per c e n t, tho product o f
1SS7 being t’7 par C3nfc. Toss in vofnm o than
that o f 1888. Tho average yield o f tho
commercial belt, or seven corn surplus
states, averages 33 2 bushels per acre.
The wheat aggregate is 4 L4,80S,000 bushels,
grow n on 37,330,138 acres, valued at §3S4,248,030. Tho average yield, therefore, is 11.1
bushels per acre. The aver ga farm value is
02.0 cents per bushel, against 68.1 conts for
the previous crop, a difference duo more to
foreign than to domestic scarcity.
The aggregate fo r oats is 701,737,000 bush­
els, grown on cO,098,282 acres, and valued at*
$195,424,240. This is 27.S cents per bushel,
against 30 cents fo r the crop o f 1SS7.
A comparison o f aggregate values shows
that the present corn crop is worth §31,000,000 more than tho previous on e; wheat, $74,000,000 m ore: oats, §5,000,900 less.
