NEW ENGLAND CLAIMS FIRST PLACE. i From the office of the state board of agriculture of the commonwealth of Massachusetts comes the informa- tion that the New Kngland states have run up their flag, and will enter into agricuftural * corgpetition ~ with the northwest, the southwest, the middle west and the Pacific coasi. On the subject of apples, corn, maple sugar, potatoes and tobacco, they will admit ro superiors, and have anmounced their intention of entering into the competition for the apple, corn’ and potato prizes at the American Land and Irrigation exposition, to be held in New York November 3 to 12. “We expect,” says J. Lewis Blls- worth, secretary of the state board of agriculture, “to show that New Eng- land fruit is second to mnonme in the country In attractiveness of appear- ance, and first in guality and flavor. The apples will be in part the prize- winning fruit from the New England fruit show, held in Boston the week previcus to the New York land show, and in part carefully selected fruit purchased especially for the New York exhibit. “The corn exhibit will be mainly of the flint varleties, the favorites of New England because of their short growing season and certainty of ma- turing: and will be designed to show that attractive and well matured corn can be produced in New KEngland. In addition we shall show statistics to prove that the recerd yields per acre, Up to the present time, is held by | | these same varieties of flint corn, grown in New England. “The potatoes. will be the famous Maine potatoes from the Aroostook rogion, where the potato Industry has | {cansed a land boom during the last| |few vears that has sent prices for | farm lands up to a par with those | ehtained for any agricultural lands in the country, except that in bearing or- chards. These potatoes lead the world in attractive appearance, fine quality and ready sale.” | MUSICAL AUDIENCES NEED CUL- | TURE. But a very small per cent. of the people who patronize high class musi- | of the sround cal entertainments have sufficient abil- | to interpret the work to tell where | put in the pleasing and inspiring | v and, vet, the acquirement ity to of adequate knowledge to fully under- | | stand the music is easy. | “Do you realize,” says Mr. R.

It now appears that to accom- plish this wish we do not have to be born again, but only taught. This is an encouraging idea, if we can only find a teacher. Ard in Boston, this winter, that problem is solved. The university ex- tension course in the appreciation and {analysis of music from the point of view of the listener is going to render for a large number of people just that | ser The necessars background |of knowledge can be acquired and a vast increment of enjoyment secured for many vears to come at trifling expense and with the advantage of the regular filling of two evenings a week with interesting work.” ONE-DAY FAIRS. The one-day, admission-free falr of |Towa is a great social success, Tt is not devised for making money, but| just for exchanging agricultural idea: and having « good time. The Des Moines Capital says of them: “In Towa a great many successful one-day fairs have been held this vear. in some cases those who were re- sponeible for the holding of the fair did not expect anyone t6 come from a greater distance than ten miles. They contemplated & neighborhood gathering and a neighborhood display of resources. These fairs are usuall made up of an exhibit of fruits, vege- | and the cereals, also chickens, ducks, geese, etc., including colts and | calves, with a few head of mature | animals, In the streets there are |some amusements and in the after- {noon there are ball games. “These neighborhood fairs are dis- tinguished by sociability and picnic dinners, They are an outgrowth of| | the Kkindly spirit of the people &t the | | barvest-home period of the year. .\'oi |admission fees are charged. Never- theless premiums are paid and the; | merchants and the stock growers of 1 t | . i the community pay ull expenses. { “In some counties a farmers’ insti- | tute is held at the xame time, with| speeches and essays. It has been dis- | covered thit the farmers and the wives would rather attend a farmers’ | institnte in the delightful weather of| the fall than in the extreme cold of | the winter. We commend these one- | day fairs to the attention of our read- in the farming cémmunities as something not expensive and some- | thing perfectly satisfactory.” 1 i | [ EDITORIAL NOTES. { Senator Stephenson's political meth- | | ods were not above reproach, if they | | were sivlisn. i | % E o { | The celd-water toast Colonel Bryan| President swim.

IMlattery has been characterized as a flim-flammer; and fear is a panic starter and a cheat. It is because man came to think that fear drives move to duty than gratitude, that fear is ex- cited to achieve certain ends, when the fact is that conversion to any- thing under the sun that is not founded upen something more sub- Stantial than fear will not last. Con- fidence is a rock. and fear & quagmire. The able and celebrated Witherspoon gave currency to the maxim, “It.is the fear of God that can deliver us from the fear of man,” when it is really the love of (God and the repose we find in His promises which make man fearless. Aristotle was conscious of the fact that “no one loves whom he fears.” Fear from its very nature is a repellant, while love diaws all things unto it. The intelligent man does not nind the fear-flamers— there is no reason why he should feat anvbody, or thing, more than himselt His faith should make him whole! It is not so strange that the Arabs believed in the phenix, the bird thai could arise to new life from its own ashes. in the light of modern science, for out of disorder by divine decree came order, and a# an able writer puts it, “Out of lawlessness came law, out of the formless came form, out of sand and ashes arose houses, out of the dust was developed man’: the analo and to follow mvisible came the visible, even the brain of man who.is a son of God. Mzn is himself a creator, who, pat- terning after natwral forms, has been enabied to prove his heirship and to blaze the way toward the invisible realm which is eventually to be his home. We are all manifestations of the power which at last is to gather us to itself in love and mercy. The brain of man, which conceives of life in all its variety, interprets it and reaching out into space measures the planets and relative sizes of their suns, and recognizes there is more than one i . is greater than the things it , weighs and measures. Such a recognizes that all things as well as man are the expression of the Spirft. Faith is something very much talked about and very little understood. We have been plainly told: ‘“Faith with- out works is dead”: hence, there ap- pears to be much of it that is ready for the undertaker. Faith is ce, for it must generate energs worthy the name, and compel action. The man who has faith in his ability to become rich does not expect to possess wealth through idleness; and the man who has faith that scholar- <hip will make him greut, ventures to master hooks, because looking in them will not serve his purpose. Coleridge says: “Never did there exist a full faith in the divine word which did not expand the intellect while it purified which did not multiply the aims and objects of the understanding while it fixed and simpliied those of the desires and passions.” Faith is impelling because it is inspiring. Tf faith finds a seat in man’s mind, if it finds speech by man’s tongue, it does not leave his purpose indefinite or his hand idie. “As the flower is before the fruit,” savs Whately, “so is faith before good work: There is no mis- real article. taking the Whoover goes abroad with eyes to see cannot help observing how even the savages learned art from nature.

There is not only beauty of form, but taste and novelty in combination of form and color which apbpeal to persons of taste; and it is through the changing lights and shades that men have learned to make wonderful. canvases which command great prices. Witness those nature pictures; a valley and a stream sparsely settled, framed in by the hills and dense in spots with woods, which are now taking on dazzling colors and art tones; tall mountains wreathed in clouds and abutted by foothills; wood bordered lakes with hills looming up in the distance: the broad, creek- divided marshes, and the ever-moving ocean, with its beach and its sand- dunes in the foreground and it8 ships in the distance: a brook, flower-bor- dered, with its fallen tree and fishing pooi: a spring flowers ond ferns: a tree-trunk with a red-foliaged vine; @ boulder with maidenhair, ferns about it; the brigh plumaged bird Swaying on a Spray a buiterfly's wing or a beetle’s bronze armor-plate, all invite and inspire a man to reproduce them in shade and color and form.

There is nothing which reveals what we are like monéy. The way in which we handle it zives us a good name or a bad one. It makes all the difference in life to a person whether h- makes money a servant or a master.

We realize the good it does, and clalm to be thankful 10 it, but too often finish our thanks- giving by a wish that it might have come some other time, as the old nursery jingle used to tell’it. However, the ®arth is thankful for it *How cagerly the parched Soil ] drinks it in! How refreshed every srowing thing shows itself to be! Drooping heads are lifted, and fading colors are renewed by its cooling drops and even the grass roots are reached | by the lively pelting of the rain, and the turf takes a firmer and more vil orous stand, and shows plainly that its iife and work are well supplied with | means for future success, and every twig and blade indicates a new-found pleasure in its daily task. Only mankind is ungrateful, or, if not that, is_disturbed and annoyed by the rainy day. We are such selfish mortals that we can realize only our own convenience, and a rainy day_ in- terferes frequently with our plans for business or pleasure. A trip down- town for shopping must be postponed till some other day, for we, think it will be tob dark in the stores to faver good judgment in the selection of goods. A picnic has been planned for the day, but of course we cannot zo | 1 the rain, and we flatter ourselves | that we are so sorry for the disap- | pointment of our friends, when after all our own grievance is the real cause 0 our displeasure. Merchants never want Sundays, as it lessens their trade. Children never want Saturd: to bey rainy, for wild flowers and fruit and nuts ‘are calls to the great outdoo.: world, which they claim for their own. And when shall they establish their claims to championship in baseball and football if it rain on Saturday? Even the politicians want pleasant weather on election day. and the weather is | held responsible for many a defeat of one or the other opposing parties. | Still the former and the latter rain ‘omes and goes in its appointed time, | nd we arc laft to recognize the fact | that we personally are a very small part of the universe. Rain, like fire, is a good servant, but a bad master. We read of cloud- bursts and floods. which in their ex- cessive downfall and overflow bring destruction upon harvest and village, s> that famine and disease and death ensue. and the Jand is made desolate | irdeed. Think of the recent floods in China and their .efect on the e fields and all it means to the noor peo- pie when their rice crop fails. Think of the more Trecent news from Penn- sylvania, 'where the overwhelming ! water has wrought so great destruction to whole villages and their inhabitants. When we read of those disasiers we rain except on are thankful that our lot is cast in a section where such dire calamitics sel- dom occur and are content with old New England and the safety is usually provides. THen there are many people to whom a rainy day means much °pleasure. “What a nice rainy day,” say they. “T'll have so much time to myself, Witk no interruptions, and there are so many things I want to do.” - the notable housewife brings out the un- | finished garment or the darning pasket, and her swift needle makes quick work and the heap of mending srows less, as the pile of neatly folded garments, ready for closet and bureau, increases. With what sense of relief and satis- faction she beholds the lowering of | one pile and the growing of the other, till at last she gathers an armful of carefully arranged clothes of various kinds and puts them away in order, ready for use. Another, equally glad for the rainy day, devotes it to leiter writing and feels very virtuous at the end of the day a8 she looks upon the pile of letters ready for the mail. Those mothers who have charge of little children find unpleasant days & trial. for the little ones miss their outdoor life. and it is difficult to keep them happily amused and out of mis- chief. How well T remember I 0 of- ten used to say: “Mother, what can I j do?” little realizing what a care I was making for the patient mother whose resolirces of suggestion seldom failed, and whose delight was in seeing her children content and happy. Many an hour was happily passed by us chil- dren in doing tasks which we fondly thought to be of great help in the household, but which, I am now in- clined to think, wére done over after us at some leisure moment. What en- joyment we took in reading aloud while the mother's busy needle was doing the work of today's sewine ma- chine! What great success we made of candy and popcorn on days too stormy for school attendance, for “one sesgion” was not then the practice and no especial reward was offered for per- fect attendance. Nowadays we hear it said that the matinee is weil attended on rainy days and T have heard women say they went to pass away the time. Their mothers were too busy providing for the com- fort of their households fo feel the need of amusement of that sort to pass away the time, and the matinee was not then invented. Every generation is, or should be, an advance in civilization and refine- ment, and therefore we must expect this one to be no exception to the rul and the good old days of yore have their eounterpart‘in the present, no doubt, while the future has something agually good in store for those who follow ne. % Meanwhile, like the king of Spain in the old rhyme, “We'll sit and sing and let it rain,” and try not i~ mind a ndscape done in water colors.

Money cannot create love or purchase happi- ness; and, perhaps, it drives as many to suicide as want does. Selling one's | soul for money is equivalent to selling | one's soul to the devil.

Have you noticed the part Plue and gold plays in nature? Of course, it is in the sky the year round. It commences Flora’s procession in the spring in the violet and dandelion, ard ends it in autumn with the gentian and the goldenrod. In symbology these two colors are interpreted to signify truth from the celestial regions and the good of love from the Lord, so it is not surprising that man naturaily re- gards this particular combination of color heavenly: which makes him in- tuitively right. The last floral fighters of the frost are the red chrysanthe- mums, and when the snow engulfs them they take on a silver crown and die: and red signifies the good of love and silver the good of faith, so, vou see, truth and goodness are constantl gleamine from God's creatidns above {and below. SUNDAY MORNING TALK }'T'HE DUTY OF BEING A GOOD! SPORT. Queer counsel for the parson to be handing us, vou say. But bear with | me, scoffer, and know my meanins. [#et me tell you what 1 understand by sport. I do not mean vularity, late hours, deep_potations, or any form of dis- *sipafion whatsoever. For these things the right minded man has abhorrence. For healthful and even strenuous pleg: on the other hand, he may have the most genuine love. I am mereély sa, ing that if one is to enter the world of legitimate sport at all he should enter it in wholesame fashion. Let him be good, and not a cheap sport. We never show quite so clearly what we really are as when we are at play. In the schoolroom or in the Kitchen or behind the counter people are un- der authority. They are doing things they are obliged to_do. It is when restraint is remcved and one does what he choeses that his real nature appears. If 1 want to get a line on Jimmie's character I musit watch him on the playground. And I can judge Jimnve's father fully as accurately on the golf course as in his pew at churchy Now, there are certain characteris- tics that the good sport will exhibit. And ‘the. first is honesty. He will obey ihe rules and not cheat. It is almost amusing to see how seriously some peoplc take games. They must win at any cost. You can think of oppon- ents whe will cry “outside” when you conld see your hard-worked for re- turn raise the dust at least an inch inside the tape. There are zolfers who lose ihe power (6 count above six when making that fourth hole—the troublesome one beyond the duckpond. To see the facts as they are, and to win if he can, but without cheating, are distinguishing marks of the good sport. And another mark is generosity. He can appreciate skill whether it works for him or against him. He is able courteously io sppreciate an antago- nist. An incident of a football game between the (‘atiisle ladians and an eastern college illustrates what 1 mean. One of the Indian backs got away with the ball and was tearing down the fieid for the touchdown that meant victory. One man only stood between him snd the coveted goalfosts. The Indian exerted his utmoest power, but his opponent was even fleeter. Near the goal the collegian made a skilful tackle and hgought down the runner. The usual piling up of players ook place. As the two lay together at the hottom of the heap, the white man became aware thal hi¢ihand was be- ing shaken by his Indian obpponent, who muttered in sdmiration, “Good tackle, good tackle.” If you know a paleface who weuld have shown a more gentlemanly or more sportsmanlike spirit, bring him forward. In the judgment of many, such a triumph of temper was a far areater victory than to have sotten the pigskin over the live. e lost the game—no matter for that: He kept his temper and swung his hat To cheer the winner; a better way Than to lose his temper, and win the day. Withal, the good sport is reasonable in his pastime. After the adage of the ancient sage, he seeks to “do noth- ing too much He keeps games in ir proper place as tributary to the main businegs of living. He will not be numbered with those who in ihe phrase of Pope, simply pass from a “vouth eof frolics to an old ‘age of cards.’ The important garding any questicn to ask re- form of amusement whatever i Does it s2nd me back to my regular work, stronger, hapnier, and better equipped for service. If w can answer that question in the af- Armative, the game is well wor™ the candle. If not, it is harmful, simply adding one more to the vnnecessary wastes of life. THE PARSON.
