The Farmers' club meeting next Mun- day evening is at the town farm, when the subject of owning a farm for the poor will be discussed. Charles Atkin. son, tbe superintendent, is expected to open the question personally or with a substitute, and no doubt the subject will prove of much interest.

But it is arged by some that religion is given undue prominence. This is not so. No one is compelled to take any rellgious stand that he is wot perfectly willing to take, and that he does not see is for liis good. Folly nue.half of the inetubers of the Y M. C A. in this country are un- converted meu. That does not look as if there was any religlous cumpulsion. At the same time the religions feature 18 never lost sight of; it 18 bever subordi- nated; it alma to be what its name im- plies, a young men's Christian associa. tion. It is absolutely uudenominational; no creed is discussed, aud no person is shut out from membership in this grand organization because of his creed. It aims to send out into the world strong, healthy, intelligent, Christian young men, and it is succeeding in His purpose with a certainty which indicates that the hand of God is lu it and its work is find- ing favor in bls eyes.

Now what has Fraukliu got? Every speaker ou Sunday said that the local organization bad au equpment of which the town might be proud, and that is absolutely true. The rooms are situated upon the third and fourtb floors of the Morse building on Central street. A the second landing a sigu anuounces that the rooms are above. Step up stairs with ns, and let us introduce you to the Franklin Y. M. C. A.

The first room is the parlor. A fine

serviceable tapestry Brussels carpet is upon the floor; the secretary's desk 18 a New roll top; a number of haud. | some pictures grace the walls; a Trow bridge piano is free to anyone who ile- sires to use it; the rooms are heated by steam and from graceful chaudeliers de- peud electric lights; the easiest of easy chairs have been procured, not cheap things, but handsome, comfortable aud serviceable; the secretary's desk has a typewriter and arrangements bave been made for a telephone; games are found to suit tbe tastes of all. A general air of humelikeness and welcome pervades the room and causes the member or strauger to feel that someone is taking an interest iu bim.

Step into the next room. Here are Joug reading tables upon which will later be found the leading newspapers and magazines of the day, educational, mechanical, religious, etc. A writing desk with materials is at the disposal of any of the members; comparative quiet ouly is enjoined here, so as not to inter- fere with the reading or writing of oth- ers in the roomu. The next room Is to be used as a class room, where devotional meetings aud Bible study may be lind, freed from interruptions which might possibly euter.

Upou the next floor is the gymuasinus, wbere a room has been fitted up with many of the best athletic appllauces for recreation, exercise and development of tbe muscles. Among these are the rings, trapeze, punchlug bag, Indian clubs, cbest weights, dumbbells, etc. A shower batb is to be put iu, aud lockers have been provided for the members' clothing. Other appliances will be added as they are found to be needed. Indeed, every room appears to be admirably equipped for the purposes luteuded aud for the

convenience aud comfort of the members. Now where bas the mowry come from to accomplish all of this work? Over $500 was douated, largely by friends in- terested in the young men of this place. Many a fatber has given because of bis boy; mothers have given because they desire to feel that when their son is out of the house at night he Is nuder good influencea. Money has como in from unexpected quarters. Then ngain, over $400 lias come In from membership tick- ete alone. Some have taken tickets with tbe Idea It will help the Institution and make it possible to continue lu Its work, with but little thought of personal bene- fit. That la wbere the idea of helplug others comea in. Fathers who make no preteuslon to religiou have taken a mem- bersbip for their boy, so that he may be under helpful lufluences. Others have joined for "what they get out of it," aud they will find that they will be amply !

The New York Press has found the be plus u tra of shockingness-not stork nguess: "Moonlight bathing at Narragansett Pier, girls in Front Rock, Mass., going to the post of t in bathing costumes. Larchmont wom en wearng duck trousers, Chicago women awending church withont hats, peope rating 'hot corn' where the hutter is put on with a part.t brush, all these one can be jete, but think of 'Sorkless' Jerry > upson yell- ing himself red in the face for shire waista for men!"

Some years ago a man ran up a hi l of $t in the Tremont house. Chicago. and then ran a way without set'.ing It. The trunk which rema'ned in h s room was unustal y heavy, and when i pered was found to contain spec'niens ( fore, brought from the gold and silver mines of Colorado. After waiting out the legal time, the contents of the trunk were sent to an assayer. who returned two bits of nieta, valued at more than $100 in excess of the bi ... after deduc: ng his own fees.

A citizen of Lexington, Mo., claims fame by reason of the fact that on a postal card 3 by 31, inches in ex- tent he has written 14.6:5 words, con- sisting of this mixture: Declaration of Independence. 1,309: enstitution of the United States, with preamble and amendments, 5.600; the articles of confederation of the original states, 3,460; the Lord's Prayer, 67; the 119th Pslam, 2,435; 145 lines of Longfellow's "Evangeline." 1.614.

In the "si! y season" every possible diversion is ha'ed with delight. The "dollar tea" Is a five o'clock function where the guests amuse themselves by trying who can spin a dollar the long- est on a polished table, the successful one receiving a prize. The "baby tea" is another novelty. Men and women bring photographs of themselves as babies, and the person who identifies the greater number wins. The "baby tea" is ra' her amusing.

The pupil of a pu' tie school who had been absent from school for two weeks brought this written excuse from her mother: "Lou'sa was absent monday. please excuse ber. Louisa was absent toosday, she had a sore throte. Louisa was absent wensas, she had a sore throte. Loutsa wax absent thursday. she had a sore throte, Lou'sa was ab- sent friday, she had a scre thrute. Read this over again for the rest week."

It is related of the late C. P. Hunt- ington that a young man once called on him to se.l . mr much-needed rai:s a: $75 a ton. M.

The Kiss at the Door.

In the days of the lance and the spur.

When the hero went forth to the night, Oft he carrted a token from her. Whom he worshiped as lover and knight. And when fierce surged the battle around. And when close pressed the merciless foe "Twas that token that drove off despalr And gave victory's strength to his blow. Not a bero of knighthood am I.

But . warrior in industry's strife. Where the lance that I wield is my pen. Ane . he ladye 1 serve Is my wife. Yet a token I carry each day. Full as precious as any of yore, And it stoutens my heart for the fray- Tis my love's morning kiss at the door.

For his faith will the martyr endure. By the sunset the artist's Inspir'd. At the blast of the bugle and fire Is the soldier to gallantry fired. But whatever may others exalt. For myself I shall ask nothing more As a prompter to worthiest deeds Than the kiss that I get at the door. -E. W. Gray, In Newark Daily Advertiser.

PLANTS AND ANIMALS.

All the flowers of the arctic region are either white or yellow, and there are 762 varieties.

Ostriches are not the only swift- running animals that can outstrip the speed of a horse. There is a land ernb in Cuba that can rival the ostrich, and go much faster than a horse.

Plants, like animals, are continually wandering to fresh fields and pastures new. Prof. Kellerman finds that ot the present flora of Ohio no less than :30 are immigrants. Almost all are from Europe.

That plants wheninjured suffer from fever is a new discovery by a British hotanist. Plants suffer in a similar manner to an'mals under like condi- tions. The rate of respiration in- creases and the temperature rises reaching a maximum within 24 hours.

The Stimulus of Pure Blood

That is what is required by every organ of the body, for the proper performance of its functums.

It perfects all the vital processes.

It prevents hilionsness, dyspepsia, const !- patton, kidney complaint, rheumatism, ca- tarrb. nervousness. weakness, faintness, pim- ples, blotches, and all cutaneous eruptions. It Is assored by taking Hocd's Sarsapa- rilla which acts directly and pecollarly on the blood.

This statement Is proved by thousands of unsolicited testimonials.

W. P. KEETON, Woodstock. Ala,, writes: " When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla my blood was Impure and I bad not been feeling well for some tline. I was bothered very much with that tired feeling. When I had taken the medicine a few days I be- gan to feel better, and after taking two bottles I felt like another person. That tired feellng was gone and I could do my work."

ROYAL SMOKERS.

Germany's emperor confessed sently that of all his habits smoking had the greatest hoid over hiui. "When I am not asleep I am smoking and when I am asleep 1 often dream of the 'subtle poison.' The sultan of' Turkey sent me a few months ago a hundred boxes of his choice cigarettes. These are the boxes." His majesty pointed toward a row of delicately "got up" tins. "But the cigarettes are not in them; they have ended in smoke."

This pretty little anecdote about the boy king in Spain is now given: A short time ago the queen regent was telling her son how poor his country, Spnin, was hecoming, and whint need there would be of reform and economy in many respects. "Mother," said the young monarch in embryo. "I have quite made mp my mind that we must all give something for the sake of my country - some luxury, I, for my part, have deter- mined to give up smoking!"

Margherita. the dowager queen of Italy, once said to the prince Wales: "I can overlook many faults of a man and can make allowance- for his shortcomings. One fault, how. ever. I cannot overlook, and that is- his not sinoking. When my husband, the king. is annoyed I give him his pipe: when he is good-tempered 1 give him a cigarette; when I want him to do something particular for me I give him a cigar. With a pipe I can console him. with a cigarette I can delight him, and with a cigar 1 can leat him anyhow and anywhere." The duke of York is n cigarette smoker. Hle once said to the czar of Russia: "A short time ago I had an idea that cigarettes were bad for me. so I determined to limit myself to five smokes a day. The first day ] managed to exist on the number 1 had determined upon smoking, The second day I smoked all five before luncheon and felt miserable during the rest of the day. The third day ] sinoked the five judiciously, but still felt a great 'wanting.' The fourth day I couldn't stand it any longer and so smoked 15 cigarettes to mak+ up for my self-denial during the other days."
