Christ has led you to surrender your entire

in your life, it is genuine faith, and if it has
not. it is not faith at all.
There are some things which I believe
with the head. Then there are other things
which 1 believe with the I e irt And then
there are other things which! believe tiotfti
with the head and heart. I believe, for in
stance, that Cromwell lived. That is a mat
ter of the head. Then there are other
things winch I believe with tlio heart mid
not with the head I hat is. 1 have no es
pecial reason tor b dievmg them, and yet I
want to believe them, and th** wish is the
father to the expert iti<>n. Hut there is a
very great difference lietween that which we
believe al>out ourselves and that which we te
lieve about others. For inst ana®, you remem
ber not a great while ago there was a disaster
in Pennsylvania, amid the mines; there was
an explosion amid th©damps, and manv lives
were Josh Jn the morning you picked up
your newspaper an I saw that there had been
a great disaster in Pennsylvania. You said:
“Ah, what a Kft.l thing is tins; how many
lire* lost! O, what sorrow!” Then you road
a little further on. There had been an almo-t
miraculous effort to get these men out, and a
few hid been saved. *‘()h,” you said, “what
a brave thing, what a grand thing that was!
How well it was done!' Then you folded the
paper un and snt down to your morning re
past. Y our apjietit© had not been interfered
with, and during that day, pel haps, you
thought only two or three times of the dis
aster. But suppose you and I had been in the
mine, and the dying ha l been all around us,
and we had heard the pickaxes just above us
as they were trying to work the r way down,
and after a while we saw the light, and then
the life bucket let down through the shaft,
nod, suffocated and half dead, we had just
strength enough to throw ourselves over into
st, and had been haul 1 onfc into the light.
Then what an appreciation wo would have
had of thoagonv and the darkness beneath,
and the joy of deliverance. That is the dif
ference between believing a thing about
others and believing it about ourselves.
We take up the Bible and read that Christ
came to save the world. “That was beauti-
ful,” you say, “a fin* specimen of self-denial.
That was very grand, indeed. ’ But suppose
it is found that we ourselves were down in
the mine of sin and in the darkne>s, and
Christ stretched down his arm of mercy
through the gloom and lifted us out of the
pit, anl set our feot on the Ro k of Ages,
and put anew song into our mouth. Oh,
then it is a matter of handclpp n S; it is a
matter of deep emotions. Which kind of
faith have you, my brother?
It is faith that makes a Christian, and it is
the proportion of faith that makes the differ
ence between Christians. What wag it that
lifted f, aul and Luther and Payson and
Doddrid-e above the ordinary level of Chris
tian character? It was the simplicity, the
brilliancy, the power and the splendor of
their faith. Oh, that wo had more of it!
God give us more laith to preach and more
faith to hear. liOrd! we believe, he p Thou
our unbelief 1” “To you which bel.eve He is
precious.”
First: I remark Christ is precious to the
believer, as a .Saviour from sm. A mans tvs:
“To whom are you talking? lam one of the
most respectable men in this neighborhood;
do you call me a sinner?” Yes! “The heart
is deceitful above all things and desperately
wicked.” Y T ou say: “How do you know any
thing about my heart?” I know that about
it, for God nflnounces it in His word; and
what God .fens is always right When a
4ou are ;i Christian people say: “That
u? above us.” < )h, no! Insb a 1
ofVijh-'g himself up he throws himself
dow- He cries out: “1 was lost once, but
now I am fomiftod gwas blind once, but now
I gee. L ] ivself at the foot of the
cross nf ran fli-f r s mercy.”
What a grailuH. ing it is to feel that all
the bad words I have ever uttered, and all
the bad deeds I have ever done, and all the
bad tbomghts that have gone through my
mind, are as though they never lia I been,for
the sake of what Christ has doue. You
know there is a difference in stains. Some
can lie washed out by water, but others re
quire a chemical preparation. The sin of the
faaart is so black and indelible a mark that
no human application can cleanse it, while
the blood of Jesus Christ can wash it out for
ever. O, the infinite, the omnipotent chen
istry of the Gospel! Some man says: “I be
lieve all that. I believe God has forgiven the
most of my sins, but there is one sin I cannot
forget.” What is it? Ido not want to know
what it is, but I take the responsibility of
saying that God will forgive it as willingly
as any other sin.
O'er sins like mountains for their size,
Toe Meut> of sovereign grace expand,
The sea* of novaraicri r-.nce arise,
a uerw was a very good man aoout seventy
live years of age, that on e said: “I believe
God has forgiven me, but there was one sin
which I committed when I was about twenty
years of age that I never forgave myself lor,
and I can’t feel happy when I think of it.”
He said that one sin sometimes come over his
heart, and blotted out. ail his hope of heaven.
Why, he lacked in faith. The grace that can
forgive a small sin can forgive a large sin.
Mighty to save. Mighty to save. Who is
the God like umo our Gol, that pardoneth
iniquity? O, what Jesus is to the soul that
believes in him! The soul looks up into
Christ’s face and says: “To what extent
wilt thou forgive me?” And Jesus looks back
into his face and says: “To the uttermost.”
The soul says: “Will it never be brought up
again?” “Never,” says Christ. “Won’t it
be brought up again m the Judgment Day?”
“No,” says Christ, “never in the Judgment
Day.” What bread is to the hungry, w hat
harbor is to be bestormed, what light is to
the blind, what liberty is to the captive,
that, and more than that, is Christ to the
man who trusts him.
Just try to get Christ away from that
Christian. Put on that man the thumb
screw. Twist it until tho bones rack. Put
that foot into the iron boot of persecution until
it is mashed to a pulp. Stretch that man on
tb“3 rack of the Inquisition, and louder than
all the uproar of the persecutors, you will
hear his voice like the voice of Alexander Le
Croix, above the crackling fagots as he cried
out: “O Jesus! O, my blessed Jesus! O,
divine Jesus! who would not die for thee?”
Again: I remark that Christ is precious to
the believer, as a friend. \ r ou have commer
cial friends and vou have family friends. To
the commercial friend you go when you have
business troubles. You can look back to
some day—it may have been ten or twenty
years ago—when, if you bad not had that
friend, you would have been entirely over
thrown in business. But 1 want to tell you
this moruing of Jesus, the best business
friend a man ever had. He can pull you
out of the worst perplexities. There are
people in this audience who have got in
the habit of putting down all their
worldly troubles at the foot of Jesus. Why,
Christ meets the business man on the street
and says: “O, business man, 1 know all thy
troubles. I will bo with thee. I will see thee
through.” Look out how you try to corner
or trample on a man who is backed up by the
Lord God Almighty. Look out how you
trample on him. O, there is a financier that
many of our business men have not found
out. Christ owns all the boards of trade, all
the insurance companies and ail tho banking
houses. They say that the Vanderbilts own
the railroads; but Christ owns the Vander
bilts and the railroads, and all the plottings
of stock gamblers shall be put to confusion,
and God with His little finger shall wipe out
their infamous projects. How oft nit has
been t hat we have seen men gather up riches
by fraud, in a pyramid of strength and
beauty, and the Lord came and blew on it
and it was gone; while there are those here
to day who,if they could speak out in this as
semblage, or dared to speak out. would say:
“The best friend I had in 1837; the beet friend
1 had in 1857; the best friend I had at the
opening of the war; the best friend I ever
had has been the Lord Jesus Christ 1 would
rather give up all other friends than this
one.”
But we have also family friends. They
come in when we have sickness in the house
hold. Perhaps they say nothing, hut they
sit down and they weep as the light goes out
from the bright eyes and the white petals of
the lily are scattered in the blast of death.
They watch through the long night by the
dying couch, and then, when the spirit h a
gone, sooth you with great comfort. They
say: “Don’t cry. Jesus pities vou. Allis
welL You wil' meet tile lost on - again.”
Then, when your son went off, breaking your
heart, did they not come and put tho story in
the very i*-st shape and prophecy the return
of the prodigal? Were they not in vour
house when the birth angel flapped its wings
over yonr dwelling? And they have been
there at the baptisms and at the weddings.
Family friends! But I have to tell you that
Christ is the best family friend. Oh,
blessed is that cradle over which Jesus
bends. Blessed is thpt nursery where Jwus
walks. Blessed is that sick brow from which
Jesus wl|asthe dampness. HMmd I" that

They felt the wave, of trouble ooming up
around them gra lually, nnd they liegnn to
elfmb into the strong rock of God’s de
fense. and then tlioy snug, as they looked
over the wnters: “God is our refuge and
strength, an ever present help in time of
trouble: therefore wo will not fear though
the earth lot removed, though the mountains
he carried into the midst of the sea, though
the wntern thereof roar and I* troubled,
though the mountains shake with the swell
ing thereof. Seiah.” The other day there
was a sailor who came into the Bethel in New
York, and said: “My lad* (he wns standing
among sailors), I don’t know what’s tho
matter with me. I used to henr a good deal
about, religion and aliout Jesus Christ I
don't know that I have any religion, or that
I know anything much aliout Christ; but
when 1 was in mid Atlantic I looked up one
day through the rigging, and there seemed to
come light through rny soul. 1 have felt dif
ferent ever since, and I love those I once
hat'd, and I feel a joy 1 can't tell you. I
really don’t know what is the matter of me.”
A rough sailor got up and said: ‘‘My lad, I
know what's the matter of you. You have
found Jesus. It is enough to make any man
happy.”
Ills worth If all the nations knew
tiure tbs whole earth would love him too.
I remark again: Christ is precious to the
believer, as a final deliverer. You and 1
must after awhile get out of this world.
Here and there, one perhaps may come on to
eighty, to ninety j'ears of age, but your com
mon sense tells you that the next twenty five
years will land the majority of this audience
in eternity. The next ten years will thin out
a great many of these family circles. This
lay mav do the work for some of us. Now,
why do I say this? To scare yon? No; but
just as I would stand in your office, if I were
a business man, and t ilk over risks. You do
not consider it cowardly to talk in your
store over temporal risks. Is it base in us
this morning to talk a little while over the
risks of the soul, that are for eternity! In
every congregation death has the last
year been doing a great deal of
work. Where is your father? Where
is your mother? Your child? Your brother?
Your sister? O, how cruel does death seem
to he! Will he pluck avery flower? Will he
prison every fountain! Will He put black on
every door knob? Will He snap every heart
string? Can I keep nothing? Are there no
charmed weapons with which to go out and
contend against Him? Give me some keen
sword, sharpened in God s armory, with
which I may stab him through. Give me
some battle ax that I may clutch it, and hew
him from helmet to sandal. Thank God,
thank God, that he that rideth on the pale
horse hath more than a match in Him who
rideth on the white horse. St. John heard
the contest, the pawing of the steeds, the
rush, the battle cry, the omet, until the pale
horse came down on his haunches, anil his
rider bit the dust, while Christ the con
queror, with uplifted voice, declared it: “Oh
death, I will l>e thy plague; O grave, I will
be thy destruction.”
The sepulcher is a lighted castle on the
shore of heavenly seas, and sentinel angel*
walk up and down at the door to guard ifc #
The dust and the dampness of the grave are
only the spray of the white surf of celestial
seas, and the long breathing of the dying
Christian, that you call his gasping, is only
the long inhalation of the air of heaven. Ob,
bless God for what Christ is to the Christian
soul, here and hereafter!
I heard a man say some time ago that they
never laugh in heaven. Ido not know where
he got his authority for that. I think they
do laugh in heaven. When victors come
home, do we not laugh? When fortunes are
won in a day, do we not laugh? After we
have been ten or fifteen years away from
our frien Is and we greet them again, do we
not laugh? Yes, we will laugh in heaven.
Not hollow laughter, not meaningless
laughter, but a full, round, clear,
deep. resonant outbreak of eternal
gladness. Oh, the glee of that moment when
we first see Jesus? I think we will take the
first two or three years in heaven to look at
Jesus: and if, in ten thousand years, there
iliould be a moment when the doxology
paused, ten thousand souls would cry out:
“Sing! sing!” and when the cry was: “What
shall we sing?” the answer would be: “Jesus’
rfeeosr' on, you may have all the crowns in
heaven; I do not care so much about them.
You may have all the robes iu heaven; I do
not care so much about them. You may
have all the sceptres in heaven; I do not care
so much about them. You may have all the
thrones in heaven; I do not care so much
about them. But give me Jesus—that is
enou rh heaven for me. O Jesus! I long to
see Thee. Thou “Chief among ten thousand,
the One altogether lovely.”
There may l>e some here who have come
hardly knowing why they come. Perhaps it
w as as in Paul's time—you have come to hear
what this babbler sayeth; but I am glad to
meet you face to face, and to strike hands
with you in one earnest talk about your
deathless spirit. Do you know, my friend,
that this world is not good enough for you!
It cheats. It fades. It dies. You are immortal.
I see it iu the deathless spirit looking out from
your eye. It is a mighty spirit. It is an
immortal spirit. It beats against the window
of the cage. 1 come out to feed it. During
the past, week the world has been trying to
feed it with husks. I come out this moruing
to teed it with that bread of which if a man
eat he will never hunger. What has the
world done for you? Has it not bruised you?
H<is it not betrayed you? Has it not mal-
treated you? Look me in the eye, immortal
man, and tell me if t hat is not so. And yet,
will you trust it? O, I wish that you could
forget me, the weak and sinful man—that I
might vanish from your sight this morning,
and that Jesus might come in. Aye, he
comes here this morning to plead for your
soul—comes in all covered with the wounds
of Calvary. He .says. “O, immortal man!
I died for thee. I pity thee. I come to save
thee. With those hands, torn and crushed 1
will lift thee up into pleasures that never
die.” Who will reject—who will drive him
back? When Christ was slain on the cross,
they had a cross, and they had nails, and
they had hammers. You crucify by your
sin, O impenitent soul, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Here is a cross; but where are the nails?
Where are tho hammers? “Ah,” says some
one rejecting Christ, someone standing a
long way off, “I will furnish the nails. I
don’t believe in that Jesus. 1 will furnish
the nails.” Now wo have the nails; who will
furnish the hammers? “Ah,” says some hard
heart. “1 will furnish the hammers.” Now
we have the nails and the hammers. Wo
have no spears; who will furnish the spears?
“All,” says someone long in the habit of sin
and rejection of Christ’s mercy: “I will fur
nish them.” Now we have all the instru
ments; the cross, the nails, the hammers, the
spears, and the crucifixion goes on. O, the
darkness! (>, the pang! O, the tears! O,
the death! “Behold the Lamb of God, that
takest away the sin of the world.”
Lord Jesus, help that man. He sits far
back to-da}'. He does not like to come for
ward. He feels strange in a religious assem
blage. He tliinks, perhaps, we do no want
him. O, Jesus, take that trembling hand.
Put thine ear to that agitated heart and hear
how it beats. O, lift the iron gate of that
prison house and let that man go tree.
Lord Jesus, help that woman. Bhe is a
wanderer. No tears can she weep. See,
Lord Jesus, that polluted soul; see that blis
tered foot. No church for her. No good
cheer for her. No hope for her. Lord Jesus,
go to that soul. Thou wilt not stone her.
Let the red hot chain, that burns to the bone
till the bloody ichor hisses in the heat, snap
at thy touch. O, have mercy on Mary Mag
dalene.
Lord Jesus, help that young man. He took
money out of his employer's till. Didst Thou
see it? The clerks were all gone. The lights
were down. The shutters were up. Didst
Thou see it? O, let him not full into the pit
Uememberest Thou not his mother’s prayers?
Bhe can pray for him no more. Lord Jesus,
touch him on the shoulder. Touch him on
the heart. Ixjrd, save that young man.
There are many young men here. I got a
letter from one of them, who is probably
here to-day,and I shall have no other oppor
tunity of answering that letter. You say
you believe in me. O, do you believe in
Jesu.f 1 cannot save you, my dear brother.
( hrist c un. He wants nnd walta to save you.
and lie cornea to-day to save you Will

oir young men do without Christ—how
they got on amid all the temptations and
ttiula to which they ere subjected. O, young
iinm entile to Christ to day, and put your soul
and your intoreat for this life and for the
nest into his keeping. In olden times, you
know, a cup bearer, would bring wine or
water to the king, who would drink it. Ilrst

Ch I neap Country House
A writer in tho New York IWe-, tle
seribiri)' a boat journey in China, snvs:
On entering Ah Sun's hou o I nearly
stumbled over nil old fat pig that lay in
the doorway. \Vo were provided with
two rude bamboo chairs, and hardly had
we taken our scats when tho room was
crowded full and some natives had
rlimbed upon n ladder to look at us.
They inspected us with great curiosity,
feeling our hands and faces, and our
huts, cluthing, buttons a: and shoes, hit
ling there sn tho midst of that strange
crowd, I drew out my note book to make
notes of my surroundings. This greatly
increased the curiosity and perplexity of
our inspectors, mid they, wondering,
peered over my shoulder to see the
strange writing.
Chinese country houses are a 1 much
alike and generally have two rooms,
A CHINESE COUNTRY HOUSE,
which are used for all purposes. Ah
Sun’s house, being a little larger than
the avenge, and one of the best in the
village, had three or four rooms. Tho
one in which we wero seated is as large
as a small parlor. The floor is of clay,
and the walls a mixture of mud. stones
and mortar. Ju t inside the large door
way, which is al wa>s kept open except
at night, is a sort of cesspool or round
hollow in the ground Hire tly above
is a square opening in the roof, corre
sponding in size to the hole i:i the ground.
This opening is the only chimney, and
through it all the smoke and smell that
is made in the house escapes, after first
having free circulation in the room.
There is no covering to the “chimney,”
and the ditc h beneath it in the floor is
intended to cat h tlie rain and drippings
which come down the chimney. This hol
low in the floor serves its chief u e, how
ever, as a pig-sty.
At the back of the room is a square
shelf on which the anccstial tablets are
kept. The Chinese hold the worship of
their ancestors to be one of the most
sacred of their religious obligations.
Cobwebs, clothes, basket , orange-peel
and other articles hung about the walls.
This apartment is, in fact, the parlor,
reception-room, sitting-room, dining
room and store-room, all in one. A cloud
jf smoke wns issuing from a little room

Maddened By a Coyote's Itile.
Mr. William C. Chamberlain, a prom
inent rancher of Texas, was bitten on
March 9, while asleep among his vaque
ros by a rabid coyote.
At the same time a Mexican —Halario
Escobas —was bitten in the leg by the
same animal. About fifteen days later
it was noticed that he showed signs of
uneasiness and then ho suddenly disap
peared after running his wife out of the
hut in which they lived at the Caponeno
ranch. Since then, though several times
seen, all efforts to cotch him havo been
in vain, though several parties of ranch
eros have gone out and tried to lasso
and seourc him
A man who came in from the Azadores
ranch reports that he entered that ranch,
which is small and isolated, and seizing
a child of Manuel Cantu, five or six
years of age, bit and tore it to fragments
and then escaped to the thick chapparel
before he could be captured. Nothing
having been seen or heard of him for
several days past, it is thought he has
died of exhaustion in the woods.
He is described as a short, thick set,
very dark oomplexioned Mexican. A
regular reign of terror has prevailed
among the ranches in the upper part of
Hidalgo county because of him, and
people, union* in oonjiderab’.e parties
and well mounted, havo feared to travel
through the dense brush which covers
that section of country.
Sucli Chewing Gum
The use of chewing gum has come to
bo quite the fashion in a quiet way, and
is almost as difficult to break away from
as the tobacco habit. A pretty young
lady artist at New York sauntered iu
upon her intimate friends with her
mouth working over her favorite gum,
and • explained how she formed the
habit:
“You see I was invited to a swell
lunch given by some friends of mine,
and everything was novel, artistic and
delicious. After everything else had
been served, there were brought iu some
lovely-looking confections. Each guest
received but one, on a dainty litt’e bon
bon dish. It was the creamiest, most
delicious confection I ever tasted, and
as it slowly melted there was a spicy,
aromatic flavor, and a substance that did
not dissolve. It still retains a peculiar,
flavor, and I wouldn’t give it up
for the world. I live in constant terror
for fear I shall lose it and not bo able to
get any more. Sorry I can’t offer you
some. It was made by the young la
dies themselves, who had the recipe
from an old Indian servant when they
lived in Calcutta. Their father was a
British officer, you know. They won’t
tell how it’s made. They say its the
only novelty they can be sure of, and
they would like it to last them two sea

A Rare Spectacle.
There was recently witnessed in the
palm house at the imperial palace of
Austria, a spectacle which
has hitherto been seen only once before
in Europe—to wit, the palm tree Brownia
Ariza in full bloom This tree which is
named after a celebrated English bota
nist, arrived at Echonbruun forty years
ago from London. It was then an in
significant sprig, but it now vies in
magnitude with the Maria Theresa palm,
which is 170 years old, and in the same
palm house. It blossoms only once in
fifjy years, and the bloom only lasts
forty.eight hours. The la t time tin
blossom of the Brownia Ariza was seen
Was in June, 1851, in the Duke of Nor
folk’s conservatory at t hiswick, England.

Feeding Young I‘lg*.
If the young pig it not gettingenough
milk from its nioilicr to push it, whi. h
usually occurs about the fourth or tifth
week of its life, fix little troughs so that
none but the iittlo ones can have aecc-s
to them, uud give the pigs two or three
smalt rations duily of cow's milk. It is
not best at the start to feed whole milk,
or, if so, it should he diluted with one
third water and fed to them warm and
pcrfceily sweet Half a pint at a feed
until they are six weeks old will be found
a liberal allowance, in addition to what
they get from the sow. After the
eighth week they may have the
whole milk, and the quantity may
be increased gradually until they have
all they will consume. About the tenth
or twelfth week, if a small ration of
corn meal is added to the milk, the pigs
will quickly respond with added growth
and appearance. The milk is making
bone and muscle, and tho corn meal will
interla:d a streak of fat tliat will give to
the hams and shoulders that fine marbled
appearance that butchers and connois
seurs delight in. If the feeder is near a
city or large homemnrket, where he can
supply certain butchers, it is no hard
(natter by a little care and foresight to i
establish a I rand of butchers’ pork tint
will readily command one or two cents '
above the market. But there must be
real excellence in the product. It cannot
be done with any kind of a pig, by
limply making it very fat. For this kind
of feeding the Berkshire and Essex, if
pure bred, are particularly well adapted.
By following the plan indicated above,
with grass or doer in summer, and
steamed fodder or hay in winter, it is no
trouble to turn off pigs of 200 to 2TO
pounds weight at seven or eight months
and this is the most that butchers want
for the local market, while during the
summer I.TO pounds suits them better if
rightly fed.
This, however, applies chiefly to small
farms and nearness to market, and no
doubt the same practice can be followed
by thousands of oar largest feeders with
added profit to their pr sent course. It
is within the obsenation of thinking
breeders, that if there is any hog disease
in the country certain ones seem to get
more than their share of it. This is for
the most part due either to in breeding,
or to an exclusive corn diet. Either of
these will debilitate the constitution,
and are especially to be guarded against
if one would be succes ful in this busi
ness. As to how long the milk diet can
be profitably continued, we desire to
quote an experiment made by Professor
Shelton, at the Kansas Agricultural Col
lege. Ilis experiment was made with
ten pure-bred Kssex pigs, whose average
age was eighty days, and the average
weight forty-one pounds and a fraction.
They were divided into lots of five
each, but each pig had a pea to it
self. Soon after the experiment I egau,
one pig had to be withdrawn
on account of sickness. One lot
was ted new milk fresh from the cow,
with shorts; the other lots shorts and
water. All feed was accurately weighed,
and several facts are deducible from the
experiment, but we wish to use it in its
relation to milk as pig food. The result
after feeding 100 days was that those
which received the milk diet weighed
141 pounds, while those that got no milk
weighed 101 pounds, a difference of just
forty pounds each in favor of the milk.
But this is not all. Professor Shelton says:
“The milk fen p’gs at the end of the ex
periment were ripe and ready for the
butcher, while those that were fed on
shorts alone were quite unsalable. The
pigs which had received the milk were
sold to the butcher at the highest market
price; the others, with possibly two ex
ceptions, were salable only as * stockers.’
Indeed, three of them did not weigh,
four months later, as much as the milk
fed pigs did at the end of tho experi
ment.” —American Agriculturist.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Poultry will not thrive in a wet or
damp plate.
Large growing trees should not be
planted in small yards.
The codling moth has got to Nevada
and become a squatter.
Mr. Strong, of the Massachusetts Hor
ticultural Society, thinks very highly of
cloth as a substitute for glass in raising
vegetables, and expresses the opin on
that it might be used with great advan
tage in forwarding crops.
Mr. E. S. Goff, horticulturist of the
New York Experiment Station, found,
as the result of a long series of tests, that
the productiveness of any strain of pota
toes can be materially increased by the
continued selection for seed of tubers
from the most productive hills.
The farmer who will sue, eed the best
in growing crops will be the one who
prepares the land the best. We now
have so many improved implements for
stirring the soil that there is really no
excuse for planting land that is not well
pulverized. The manure should I c so
thoroughly mingled with the soil that no
portion of it shall be without fertilizer
within a few inches of it.
In working land early it will be dumpy
and must be worked line. W. I). Phii
briek advises, in American
that especially in preparing the luud for
deep growing roots, like parsnips and
horseradish, it is necessary to run the
plough very deep and take a narrow slh e
and, after harowing, plough again and
rake fine, Quick-growing crops, like
radishes and lettuce, spinach, etc., do
not require sodeep xvorkingof the land,
but will usim'ly well repay the extra ex
pense of two ploughings and often of
two manurings.
Large pansies arc comparatively a mod
ern invention. In Harrison’s Flmi
cultural In bine', in 1840-45, the I rst
large improvements are painted. In ten
years they hail advanced to their full
development, and no larger; a little
larger ones have been raised since. In
1850 the rust took them, as it subse
quently did the verbena, and the raising
of new named kinds was discontinued.
Seedlings revived their health, and pansy
seed instead of pansy plants came to be
popular. Modern improvements have
been in the lino of new races rather than
increased size.
The asparagus bed should he well
manured and dug over early in the
season; if there be any gra-s in it, it
should be all carefully cleaned out, for
it is not half as much labor to keep an
asparagus bed entirely dean of grass and
weeds as it is to keep it half cleaned out.
It is not good policy to manure with
barn manure, because of the weed and
grass seeds. Ground bone and muriate
of potash app'icda few years wilt enable a
good farmer to be rid of his load of weeds
and to be able to neglect cultivation
during the period of cutting. Some
neglect cultivation and keep the weeds
down by the liberal use of salt, but th s
is very poor policy, tire asparagus is’ not
as large or as good flavor, whatever may
be said to the contrary.

To I! in hellish the Corners.
Corners are sometimes eyesores from
their very barrenness. One of these may
lie managed by a very simple arrange
ment of three cornered shelves coveted
with felt or plush, the fronts being fin
ished witli a six-inch fringe, or with
stiipsof l.inerusta-Walton. The shelves
should he at least twelve inches apart,
aud there may lie two, three or more of
the n, as de-ired. An India silk curtain
suspended from a slender btuss rod from
the lower one is a pretty addition. An
other corner may liavc a single shelf upon
which is a bust or a handsome vase.
Take a sufficient length of soft silk or
other drapery, draw it through n brass
ring, which affix to the picture rail, let
ting tlie ends full in careless folds be
ll nd the bust or other ornament, cover
ing the shelf and hanging some distance
below it. A pedestal, tall lamp or some
other arrangement would fill up the lower
part of tho corner prettily.— American
Ca 'ti tutor.
Darning Needle Cushion.
Take six pieces of silk braid, eaeh meas
uring four aud a half inc hes in length,
aud overseam on the wrong side neatly,
leaving half an inch at each end foi
fringe. Auy colors can be selected, but
purple, gray, brown, pink, green and
black look well together. The best way
to do, as the saying goes, is "to cut your
coat according to your cloth,” and take
whatever odds and ends of braid are
use e s in your scrap bag. Feather stiich
the seams on the right side with crewel,
or for the sane of variety, make (filler
ent fancy stitches. Then overseam the
last tw o pieces of braid which were left
open for convenience, and also orna
ment with feather stitch. Gather this
loug bag at oue end, above the half inch
left for fringe, and fill with cotton,
sprinkled with sachet powder. Then
sew up the other end. Take a pin and
fringe the braid and tie a pretty little
bow of narrow ribbon ovjr the stitches
at eaeh end. Slip your darning needle
in carefully and securely and you have a
useful addition to your work basket.
The perfume comb.nes pleasure with
utility, and you can either follow the
scent as the hunting dogs do their game,
or you can stick your fingers in puisuit
of your nee lies. This is supposing your
work-basket is in its traditional disor
der, but a careful little girl will have a
place for everything and everything in
its place; and youth is the time for
forming habits of neatness and industry.
Another needle cushion is made of four
pieces of braid, six inches long, over
seamed and stitctied as above, but
fringed for one inch—and has a place
supplied for a bodkin by working three
narrow bars, a-i inch apart in button
hole stitch, on oue piece of braid, and
then filled with a piece of flannel rolled
tightly aud finished like the first.—De

Recipes.
Asparagus Dressing.—A simply,
easily prepared dressing for asparagus
consists of one teaspoonful of made
mustard, a little salt and pepper and a
desert spoonful of vinegar mixed with
one tablespoonful of butter melted.
Baked Eggs. —Grease a pic-pan well
with lard, spread thick with bread or
cracker crumbs, break the eggs over
them in a circle, pepper and salt; set in
the oven to bake until the whites are all
set, then run a knife round under them
and slip off onto a plate, and you have a
dish that is both wholesome and hand
some.
Prune Pudding.— A delicious prune
pudding is made by stewing a pound of
prunes until they are soft; remove tho
stones, add sugar to your taste and the
whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff
froth. Make n putf paste for the bot
tom of the pudding dish. After beat
ing the eggs and prunes together until
they are thoroughly mixed; spread on
the crust. Bake for half an hour, or
until you are sure the crust is done. A
jelly cake batter can be used instead of
the putf paste, and with the two remain
ing layers you can make a Washington
pie.
Tomato Sauce. —Strain oil the liquid
from a two pound can of tomatoes. Put
into a frying pan a teaspoonful of drip
ping, a clove or garlic, or a small onion
chopped line, a spray of mace and a
teaspoonful of Hour. When it begins to
color add the tomato pulp. Simmei
over a moderate tire to prevent burning,
stir and cover twenty minutes, salt and
pepper to tasto. Press the pulp through
a tine sieve, and if too thick add a very
little beef gravy or clear soup. Return
to the range and keep hot until wanted.
This is the simpliest way to make tomato
sauce at home.
Beet Sprouts. —A very wholesome
vegetable is the young beet greens.
Wash them well and cut up, but not
fine. Put into a large frying pan quar
ter of a pound of ham or bacon fat, after
it begins to fry out add the greens.
Pile them up high on the dish and put
a cover on top. They will gradually
cook down. No w ater should be added.
St r occasionally. From fifteen to twen
ty minutes is long enough to cook them.
The tender tops of radishes are excel
lent eating and may be mixed with
other greens, although many throw
them away
New Peas. — The green peas receive
more abuse from cooks than any other
vegetable. If they do not spoil the color
of the peas they invariably cook them
to a mush or drown them in a bath of
milk or water. Sometimes they soak the
green peas in water after shelling them,
thereby ruining their flavor. Melt a
heaping teaspoonful of butter in a pol
islied fryingpan, add a pint of shelled
green peas, and stir the pan to prevent
burning. This preliminary cooking
brings out tin ir color. Add a table
spoonful of clear soup or hot water,
cover the pan ten minutes, ana try the
peas. If not too old they should be
cooked. Turn them into a hot vegetable
dish, season with salt, white pepper, and
a little more butter. No so-called boil
ing is necessary.
A Broker Raps for Luck.
While eating lunch the other day with
a prominent broker, a New York Mnl
and h’j/>re< reporter chanced to ask him
about the stock market. Before the
question was out of his mouth his hand
went under the table like a flash and
three omnious raps greeted the inquiry.
“Spirits?” said the reporter, distrust
fully eyeing him. “Luck,” he answered,
sipping his oolTec. “I rapped for luck,
as every sensible man should when the
market is referred to in a restaurant.”

Herman merchant, whose greatest ambi

•Nick,’ a round faced little boy, who was
all smiles and smartness, when the
postmaster received hi. commission lie
called Niok to one side confidentially.
‘Nick I am dor bostmaster; you urn <ler

Haul nnd puy a safe.’ Ho the old man
went and bought a now safe that cost
8425. They got it in place, put all the
stamps and other government property
into it, and two weeks later burglars en
tered tho building and the safe was
openod and rubbed. When I got on the
ground the postmaster first wanted to
read liis political speeches in the last
campaign and tell mo how much ho
thought of tho administration, but wo
got to business finally. He show- <1 mo
liow tho burglars got into the building—
quite an ussy trick—nnd then showed
tho safe. ‘Uud deso floors wns open just
as dey are now!’ he said. I looked over
the safe; it was brand new—not a murk
of violenoo on it anywhere, nor looks dis
turbed. I told the postmaster Nick
must have forgotten to lock it the.night
of tiie burglary. This brought Nick to
his feet in a paroxysm. All at once
something caught, my eye on tho wall.
It was: ‘Turn to tho rigiit three times,
stop ot 37; to the left twioo, stopping at
91; to tho rigiit once to 84—open.’
“ ‘What is that?’ I asked.
“ ‘Oh! dot is der gombination. You
see, when I get this new safe in they
sent a card up from St. Paul with tliat
on, but I forgot iiim, nnd Niok lie lose
him, so I just write dot up on der wall
where we can see him.’
“ ’And yon can’t imagine how the
thieves got into your safe ?’
“ ‘I haf buzzled my brain over it for
two months!’
“ ‘Don’t you think the thieves might
have found the combination on tlie
wall ?’
“A great light seemed to break in
upon the honest German ‘bostmasler.’
He opened his eyes wide, looked again
at the safe nnd the combination on tlie
wall, and then, with a big sigh, remark
ed; ‘Well, now, maybe dot was so.’ ”
Rats in China.
A plague of rats is reported in China,
which recalls the German legend of the
rats of Hamelin. Certain postal routes
have had lo he changed in Outer Mongo
lia on account of the honey-combing of
the whole country by myiiads of rats,
who have burrowed and eaten up the
pasturage eo extensively that the supji'y
of food for camels aud horses is gr&.tly
diminished, and the burrows ore danger
ous to all mounted travelers and couriers.
The prize offered by the Australian Gov
ernment for a riddance of the rabbits
which infest that country may afford a
suggestion to the authorities in China to
offer inducements which M. Pasteur or
some unknown Whittington may find
advantageous enough lo undertake the
task of ridding the country of these
vermin.
War They Moved. —A little Ilarlem
boy whose impecunious parents are ul
ways moving from one house to another,
was asked by the Sunday-School teacher:
“Why did the Israelites move out of
Egypt?” “Because they couldn’t pay
their rent, I suppose,” was the leply.

Sleeplessness and fearful dreams

of brain exhaustion. In healthy
sleep brain force is being stored
up to meet the next day’s de

tasked that it is unable to control
the mind, and at night the worries,

as during the day. Hence the
brain has not time to recu
