THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUN
DAY SERMON.
Subject: “ The City Slrw , li w
TIXT: /'lHlrfom crirth without; she ut
teffth Hey t>6ios in the street*." —l*rov. i., ‘JO.
iCs nix' nil rasdY U> list on to the voloei
of nmtum—th voices of the mountain, tho
vpfootof the won. tlio voices of Die storm, the
voklto of the star. As In some of the
ratin'*h ah in Europe there te< on organ nt
cither c*n<l of the building, and the one
instrument responds imnicnlly tr> ths
other, so in the irroat cathedral of nature
day reaponrls to day, and night to night,
and flower to flower, and star to star,
in the grout harmonics of the universe.
The spring time is an evangelist in
hlosHouis pronchiug of God's love; and the
winter i a prophet**-white bearded—
denmineing woe against our sins. We arc
all ready to listen to the voices of nature;
but how few of us learn anything from
the voices of the noisy and dusty street.
You go to your merchandise, and your mech
anism. and to your work, and you come back
again—and often with an indifTeneut heart
you pas* through the stroots Are there no
things for us to learn from those pavements
over which wo pass? Are there no tufts of
truth growing up letwceu those cobblestones,
beaten with the foot of toil, and pain, and
pleasure, the slow tread of old age, and the
quick step of childhood? Aye, there are great
harvests to be reaped; and now 1 trust in the
sickle hecausothe harvest iu ripo. “Wisdom
arietta without; she utfceroth hor voice in the
streets.”
In the first place the street impresses mo
with the fact that this life is a scene of toil
and struggle. Hy 10 o'clock cverv day the
city is jarring with wheels, and shuttling
with foot, and humming With voices, and
covered with the breath >f smokestacks, aud
a rush with traffickers. Once in a while you
• find a man going along with folded arms and
with leisurely stop, as though he had noth
ing to do; bnl for (ho most part, ns you find
men going down these streets, on the way
to business, there is unxioty in their faces,
as though they had some errand
which must bo oxooutexl at the first
possible moment. You are jostled by those
who have bargains to make and notes to sell.
Up this ladder with n hod <>f bricks, out of
this bank with a roll of bills, on this dray
with a load of goods, digging a cellar, or
shingling a roof, or shoeing a horse, or
building a wall, or mending a watch, or
binding a book. Industry, with lier thousfuid
arms, and thousand eyes, and thousand feet,
goes on singing her song of work! Work!
work I while tho mills drum it, ami the steam
whistles life it. All this is not becauso men
lovo toil. Someone remarked: “Every man
is as la/.v ns ho can afford to be.”
But it is liecauso necessity, with stern
brow and with uplifted whip, stands over
them ready whenever they relax their toil to
make their shoulders sting with the lash.
Can it be that, passing up and down these
streets on your way to work and businoas,
you do not learn anything of the world's toil,
and anxiety, and struggle? Oh! how many
drooping hearts, liow many eyes on the
watch, now many miles traveled, how many
burdens carried, how many losses suffered,
how many battles fought, how many vic
tories gained, how many defeats suffered,
how many exasperations endured—
what losses, what hunger, what
wretchedness. what pallor, what
disease, what agony, what despair!
Sometimes 1 have stopped at the corner of
the street as the multitude went hither anTJ
yon, and it has soomed to boa great panto
mime, and as I looked upon it my heart
broke. This great tide oL human Bfe that
goes down the street is a rapid, tossed and
turned aside, and dashing ahead and driven
bock—beautiful in its confusion and confused
in its beauty. In the carpeted aisle.-; of
the forest, in tho woods from which
tho eternal shadow is never lifted, on tho
shore of the soa over whose iron coast tosses
the tangled foam, sprinkling the cracked cliffs
with a baptism of whirlwind and tempest, is
the best pi**o to study God; bat in the rush
ing, swarming, raving street is the best place
tf> study man. Going down to your place of
business and coming home again, I chargo
you look about —hoc these signs of poverty,
of wretchedness, of hunger, of sin, of be
reavement—and as you go t hrough the streets,
and come back through tho streets, gather
up in the ai ms of youi* prayer all the sorrow,
ail the losses,all the suffering,all the bereave
jnenfe of those whom you pass, and present
them in prayer before au all sympathetic
God. Then in the great day of eternity there
will l>c thousands of persons with whom you
iu this world never exchanged one word who
will rise up and call you blessed; aud there
will be a thousand fingers pointed at you in
heaven,, saying: “That is the man, that &
tho woman, who helped mo when f was hun
gry and sick, and wandering, and lost, and
heartbroken. That is tho man, that is the
woman,’’ and tho blessing will come down
upon you as Christ shall say: “1 was hungry
and ye fed Me, I was naked and ye clothed
AKI was sick and in prison aud ye visited
Mo; inasmuch as ye did to these poor waifs
.of the streets, yodid it to Mo."
Again, the street impresses me with the
fact that all classes and conditions of society
must commingle. Wo sometimes culture a
wicked exclusiveness. Intellect despies ig
norance Refinement will have nothing to
do with boorishness. Gloves hate the suu
buraed hand, and the high forehead despises
tho flat head; and the trim hedgerow will
have nothing to do with the wild copse wood,
and Athens hates Nazareth. This ought not
4# be ao. Tho astronomer must come down
from his starry revelry and help us in otif
navigation. Tho surgeon must come away
from Ills study of the liumun organism anil
set our broken bones. The chemist mast come
away from his laboratory, where he has been
studying analysis and syhthoxis, and help us
to understand the nature of tho soils. I bless
God that all classes of people are compelled
to meet on the street. The glittering coach
wheel clashes against the scavenger’s cart.
Fine robes run against tho peddler's
pack. Robust health meets wan sickness.
Honesty confronts fraud. Every class of
people meets every other class. Independ
ence and modesty, pride and humility, pur
ity and beastliness, frankness and hypocrisy,
meeting on tho same block, in the samo street,
in tho same city. Oh! that is what Solomon
meant when he said: “The rich and the poor
meet together; the Lord is the Maker of them
nil.” 1 Tike this democratic principle of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ which recognizes the
fact that wo stand before God on one and
the same platform. Do not take on any airs;
whatever position you have gained in so
ciety, you are nothing but a man, born of tho
same parent, regenerated by the samo Spirit,
cleansed by the same blood, to lie down in the
same dust, to get up in the same resurrection.
It is high time that wo all acknowledged not
only the Fatherhood of God, but the brother
hood of man.
Again, tho street impresses mo with the
fact that it is a very hard thing for a man to
keep his heart right and to got to heaven. In
finite temptations spring upon us from these
places of public concourse. Amid so much
affluence how much temptation to covetous
ness and to be discontented with our humble
lot. Amid so many opportunities for over
reaching, what temptation to oxtorfcion.
Amid so much display, what temptation to
vanity. Amid so many saloons of strong
drink, what allurement to dis
sipation. In tlia maelstroms of the street,
how many make quick aud eternal ship
wreck. If a man-of-war comes back from a
battle, and is towed into the navy yard, wo
go down to look at the splintered spars and
count the bullet holes, and look with patri
otic admiration on the flag that floated In
victory from the masthead. But that
man is more of a curiosity who has
gone through thirty years of the sharp*
shooting of business life, and ybt sails
on, victor over the temptations of the street.
Oh! how many have gone down under
the pressure, leaving not so much as
the patch of canvas to tell where they
perished. Tjhcy never had any peace.
Their dishonesties kept billing in their
ears. If I had an ax, and could split open
the beams of that line house, perhaps I
would And in the very heart of it a skeleton.
In his very best wine there is a smack of the
poor man’s sweat. Oh! is it strange that
when a man has devoured widows’houses, he
is disturbed with indigestion? All the force*
of nature are against him. The floods are
ready to drown him, and the earthquake to
swallow him. ami the tires to consume him,
and the lightnings to smite him. But
the children of God are on every
street, and in the day wuen the
crowns of heaven are distributed,
some of the brightest will lie given to those
men who were faithful to God and faithful
to the souls ef others amid the marts of busi
* ness, proving themselves tlio heroes of the
street. Mighty wore their temptations,
mighty was their deliverance, and mighty
shall Ik? tlioir triumph.
Again, the street impresses mo with the
fact that life is full of pretensions and sham.
What subterfuge, Avhat double dealing, wlmt
twofaced ness! Do ail the people who wish
you good morning really hope for you a
happy day? Do all the i%ople who shako
hands love eat-h other? Are all those
anxious about your health who inquire con
cerning it? Do all want to see you who ask
you to call!' Does all the worm know half
as much as it pretends to know? la
there not many a wretched stock
of goods with a brilliant show
window? Passing up and down these streets
to your business and your work, are you not
impressed with the fact that much of society
is hollow, and that there are subterfuges and
pretensions? Oh! how many there are who
swagger and strut, and how few people are
natural and walk. While fops simper, and
tooL ohurkie, ami aiwuUUm* gigghv how f#w
people are natural and Inugh The court©-
sau aud the libertine go down the
street in beautiful upparrl, while with
in tho heart there are volcanoes of pas
nil in commuting their life away I say
those thing** not to croate in you Incredulity
mid uiiftuuthropy, nor do 1 forget there are
thousand* of people * great deiu bettor than
thoy seem; but, 1 donut think any man i*
prupannl for the conflict of this life until ho
knows t his jtarttculur peril. Fluid comes pro
tending to |*y hie tax t< King Exion, ami
while he stand* in front of the Kina, stabs
him through with a dagger until tno haft
went in after the blade. Judas Iscariot
Id***! Christ.
Again, the street impresses me with the
fart that K is a great field for Christian
Charity There are hunger and suffering, ami
want and wrerh#*Jneiw In the country; but
evil* chiefly congregate In our great
rtties On evury street crime prowls. And
drunkenness ctaggnr-.. and shame wink*, and
j an | *srlsm thrust© out its baud asking for alius.
Here vyant is most squalid and hunger is most
lean. A (Tvriftian inau, going along a street
in New York, saw a poor lad and ho stopped
and said: “My boy, do you know liow to
road and write*” Tue boy made no answer.
The man aiskt'd t ho question twice and thfcfoe:
“Gan you read and writ*?” and then the loy
answered with a tear plashing on the
imek of his hand. Ho said in de
fiance: “No. Kir; I can’t read nor write,
neither. God. sir, don’t want me to
nod mid write. Didn’t he tako away
my father so long ago I never remem
ber to have seen him? and haven’t 1 had
to go along tho street to get something to
fetch homo to cat for the folks? and
didn’t I. as soou ns 1 could carry a
basket, have to go out and pick np
cinders, and never have uo schooling, sir?
God don’t want mo to read, sir. 1 can't road
nor write neither.” Oh,these poor wanderers!
They liavo no chanc** Horn in degra
dation, ns they got up from their hand* and
knees to walk, they take their first step on
ths road to despair. I*ot us go forth in the
name of t he Lord Jesus Christ to rescue them.
If you are not willing to go forth yourself,
then give of your means; and if you are too
liLiry to go, and if you aro too stingy to help,
then get out of the way, and hide yourself in
tho dmi'; mid caves of the earth, lest,
whoa Christ's chariot come* along, the
horfltt’ hoofs trample you into tho
miro. Beware lest the thousands of the
destitute of your city, in the last groat day,
rise up aud curs* your .stupidity ami your
neglect. One cold winter’s day, us n Chris
tian man woe going along the Battery in
Now York, he saw a little girl seated at the
gate, shivering in the cold. He said to hai*:
“My child, wlmt do you sit there for, this
cold day?” “Oh,” she replied, “I am wait
ing l am waiting for somebody to come
and take care of me.” “Why,” said the
man, “what makes you think anybody will
come and take care of you.” “Oh, sho
said, “ray mother died last week ami I was
crying very much, and she said: ‘Don’t
cry, my dear; though I am gone and your
father is gone, the Lord will send somebody
to take care or you.’ My mother never told
a lie; she said someone would come and take
care of me, aud I afn waiting for them to
come.” O yes, they aro waiting for you.
Mon of groat heart*, gather them iiL gather
them in. It i not the will of your Heavenly
Father that one of these little ones should
perish.
Lastly, the street impresses me with the
fact tlmt. all the people are looking forward.
I see expectancy written on almost even- face
I meet between bore ami Brooklyn Bridge, or
walking tho vvholo length of Broadway.
Where you find a thousand people walking
straight ou, you only find one man stop
ping and looking back. The fact is,
God made us all to look ahead be
cause we aro immortal. In this tramp
of the multitude ou th streets I law the
t ramp of it {groat host, marching ami march
ing for eternity. Beyond the office, tho store,
the shop, the street, there is a world populous
and tremendous. Through God’s grace, may
you reach that blessed place. A great, tbrong
fills those boulevards and the streets are
n-rusta with the chariot© of conquerors. The
inhabitants go up and down, but they never
woep and tney never toil. A river flow*
through that city, with rounded aud luxur
ious bonks, and trees of life laden with ever
lasting fruitage bond thoir branches to dip th©
crystal. No plumed hearse rattles over that
pavement, for they aro never sick. With
immortal health glowing in every vein they
know not how to die. Those towei*s
of strength, those palaces of beau
ty, gleam in the light of a sun
that never set*. Oh, heaven, beauti
ful heaven! Heaven, where our friends are
They take no census in that city, for it is in
habited by “a multitude which no man can
number.” Rank above rank. Host above
host Gallery above gallery, sweeping all
around the heavens. Thousands of thou
sands. Millions <>f millions. Blessed are
they who enter* in through the
gate into that city. Oh! start for
it to-day. Through tho blood of the
greaf;sacrifice of the Son of God, take up
your march j.o henvoti. “The Spirit aud the
Bride say come, and whosoever will, lot him
come aiid take of thp wajar of life freely.”
Join this groat throng heaven
ward. All the doors of invitation art 2H|en
“And I saw twelve gates, and there wire
twelve pearls.”
THE COLOR OF HORSES.
It Seems to Have Nothing to Do
with Their Constitutions.
There is more in color or likeness in
breeding nil animals than most people
imagine, says an exchange. In largo
herds of animals jn their wild state
colors vary little. 'ftoere is often, so
travelers liave said, an odd colored stal
lion or two in wild herds of horaus, nnij
it is not uncommon to find an odd-col
ored stallion apparently the master of
the troop. It is quite certain that this
stallion does not get his own color as the
herd remains in its own originality.
Tt has linen said that the original color
of horses is chestnut, and there is evi
dence to show that of alt the Eastern
or of what is supposed to le the
blood—the color that lasted the longest,
is chestnut and that which Ims lasted
least is gray. The earliest numbers of
the “(• uglish Stud Book” givei more
grays than almost any other color, but
they have become s areer and scarcer
until now among stallions there is
scarcely a gray horse in service in Eng
land.
For a long time prejudice attached to
a white horse on account of the fabulous
tradition that they could not stand the
cold,because white was a non-couductor
of beat, a hypothesis at once contro
verted by the fact that the polar bear,
which exists alone in the region of eter
nal cold, and are happy nowhere else,
are white. The same prejudice existed
lit one time against black horses, on the
other extreme as black was a conductor
of heat, a black horse would succumb to
the enervating beat of summer.
In this age of the world if is needless
to say that tile color of a U<o><‘ ha
nothing to do with his constitoattoij.
Frances's Alexander, a coal black stal
lion, trotted one of the most exhausting
and prolonged races against afield of six
others on one of the hottest days in mid
summer, and won it. Jav-Eye See is a
black, and there is no horse on the
America# turf superior to him in courage
and endurance. Hopeful is a gray.
During his turf career 110 was the fore
most horse on the trotting turf. He
pulled a wagon, and plac 'd to his credit
a record for that way of going which has
never been equalled. Charlie Ford is
another gray horse that was tiist ill thir
ty-eight races and seventy-seven heats
below 2.30, These two examples explode
the theory that horses of light color a v e
usually of a weak constitution.
Hermit, the great English thorough- 1
bred sire, is a chestnut, while his sue
was a boy of a particularly marked bay
family. Out of a score of sons and
daughters of Hermit which have made
their mark the majority are chestnuts.
This same peculiarity marks the product*
of Hambletonion Prince. Those of his
get that have made their mark are of
one color namely, Billy Button,
Helene, Happy Traveler, Peralto. Al
though among trotters there are a large
number of fast horses of various colors,
the majority of distinguished horses are
bays. The fastest horses among which
that color is predominant are legion.
The diversity and universality of color
in horses is a provision of nature, and
the cause of it cannot lx* explained by
finite minds. Why there should be
more bay horses than brown, more
brown tnau gray, more gray than black,
is a problem which the human mind
cannot solve.

States mail arc excluded from the civil
service examination.
PRECIOUS JUNK.
FATE OF A 1.1. THU lINFAHIIION-
Alll,i: HOLD JEWKLIIY.
Tho Melting Pol* Swallow It Up,
and Tlu.ro In as Much of It An
nually an All tlio Mines
Now Produce.
Tlio average man or woman will be
•urprifed, says a writer in tho Huston
Herald, to learn that tho trade iu odd
bit* of broken and worn-out jewelry,
and battered silverware aud Impaired
Bold and silver articles, is u distinct in
dustry and one of stupendous propor
tions. Indeed, it is one of the greatest
iu the country, nnd, in fact, in the mug
nitude of valuation involved, it surpasses
everything known, excepting the direct
coining of money by the mints.
Every small jeweler, the great dealers
in manufactured gold, nnd the pawnbro
kers, all buy old gold, but they are
merely tho collectors of this valuable
material, for tliey in their turn must go
to the bona-fide denier in old gold who
makes an industry of it, tho merchant
who makes it his specialty, like tho dia
mond merchant, and who refines it.
Tho jeweler gathers a queer collection
of gold and silver junk in tho course of
a year. In speaking of the Bubjcet one
said: “There are many sources from
which we get old gold. It accumulates.
If you don’t get rid of it as it comes in,
you will be astonished to find what a
stock of it you have on hand at the end
of a year. One cause that brings much
of it into our possession is the frequent
changes that occur in the style of jewelry,
and the changes are always so pro
nounced. Now, take the great barbaric
rings that our beauties carry in their
ears; the peculiar chains that arc affected
by men; tho little ball and chain, min
iature emblems of the chain gang service,
now attached to Indies’ watches and the
bunch of wires and clusters of bangles
for bracelets, where will they be classed
aud how will they look when they once
get out of style? People would look
ridiculous with them about their persons,
so they would have to get rid of them.
“Our grandmothers nnd grandfathers
held on to their ancient jewelry to the
lust, and now theirgrandsons and grand
daughters bring the queer odd bits of
style in as old gold. We don't want jew
elry once it is out of fashion any more
than they do, unless it comes to us as old
gold, aud the pieces are worth just the
same to us whether whole or chopped up
or melted into a lump, for whole or
broken, they go to the refining pot. Take
the long neck chains, with broad ratchet
pin ornamented with fringe, which our
great-grandaunts wore attached to their
watches—what earthly use would they
serve now?
“Sometimes we come across a string of
the old-time gold beads worn by the
belles of a century ago. They are con
sidered relics, but we don’t place too
much confidence in relics. Everything
is ‘old gold’ with us. Those beads being
very thin, and merely stamped out of
very thin sheets, like half of egg shells,
and then two halves rue soldered together
to make one bead, they are very light,
and ns a whole string will not weigh more
than eight or ten pennyweights, and
would bring ns old gold generally about
$5, we sometimes hold back on them in
the hope of running across some relic
hunter; but as a rule, antique or other
wise, if ai) goes as ‘old gold.’
“Quite often customers come in to have
in old watch repaired. In the course of
Hie conversation that ensues he learns
that the ancient works pf his watch arc
not worth tinkeriug Up, and wp talk
trade. Eventually wo give him anew
watch for liis old one and certain
amount to boot. Yv r e take the old works
from his time-piece, place them la a
second-hand silver case and sell the com
bination at a fair bargain. The old
guide# fpame wo put in our scrap box,
and once a month, probably once a week,
sell the tot to the gold Merchant, who
pays a much bettor figure toon we dp.
We buy old gold at a guess, leaving a
big margin of chance in our favor, of
course.
“Worn out finger ring*, broken jew
elry, odd bits and odd pieces, where por
tions of a set have been lost, marred and
disfigured pieces of solid silver and gold
ware, come in daily and are exchanged
for good jewelry. Often old jewelry
comes to be repaired, but the result is
generally a surrender of the broken piece
and a purchase of something new.
Medals, prize trophies and awards of
nV.rU, when cast in the pure metal, are
finally £#tpmed in our old gold box.
Everything jha,t nature finds its way
to the old gold (tetoute’ hands.
“Probably it would vou to
learn that more than one-half of £lie pg
tire gold product, of the United States for
ISBB, according to the late report of Sec
rcjUify (ft the Treasury Fairchild, was de
rived tf'om the refining of the old gold
of the country, 'fbf> import says: ‘The
produce of gold from thfi rnjn.es the
United States during Um catoviaF bear ,of
of 1888 was $1,604,841 fine nunesa,
valued at $33,175,000, while the product
of thirteen private refineries in the coun
try manufacturing fine gold bars, includ
ing the unrefined gold deposited at the
United States Mint and assay offices,
amounted to $1,666,508 tine ounces,
valued at Now let me in
form you that the reference jo ,'unrefined
gold’ at the mints and assay offices means
the old gold that is scut there by dealers
who do not refine themselves,"
Where do the thieves of the country
unload their gold and silver plunder?
“Ahem! Well, there are some dealers,
I suppose, who are unprincipled enough
to deal with such men. Of course, the
latter hammer their golden ‘swag’ into
wjch a mass that the man isn’t born who
ever *o>yld recognize or identify it; or
they may niel,t it up into a solid lump.
Dealers never a,4 \Yhere it comes from,
unless they have reason to suspect some
thing wrong. But the profeirVyWil .thieves
know a better, surer and safer eustetS&r
to deal with than any pawnbroker, jew.etoj
or merchant dealer in old gold—that is,
the Government of the United States.
“The big thieves, who know anything,
tend all their gold and silver stock to the
United SJales mint by express, and the
Government >ctorpp full value for it. No !
questions are cvet akwi ■ Nobody is seen
in the transaction between Uni J-hjef jUjd j

under any law."
Remnants of a Glacier in Idaho.
The Orvjonian published particulars
of the discovery of remnants of a glacier
in Latah County, Idaho, 2000 feet above
sea level. It is in Pine Creek Canou,
between Big Bear and Texas ridges, on
the homestead of George Walker. At
tention was attracted by a cold current of
air, rushing from the earth’s surface at
from beneath a moss bed several inches
in thickness. The adjacent surface was
covered with verdure. The moss was
pushed aside and a few boulders removed,
disclosing an ice veil* several inches in
Ihieknecs. Alternate layers of gravel and
ice were found to a depth of several fe&c,
cold currents of air still rising therefrom.
Walker thinks the ice is practically un
limited and he proposes further develop
ment, with a view of marketing the pro
duct.

Tanned Alive.
C. H. Black, a well-diessed young
man, was trying to secure subscriptions
to a watch club iu the El Dorado street
tannery. lie approached one of tlis
workmen who was scraping the hair
from hides. Tlio workman scraped away
vigorously, and hair and lime were scat
tered on every side. Black dodged
about, so that his immaculate attire
should not be soiled. Tlio workman
seized a hose nnd turned a stream of wa
ter on tho hide to wash away the loose
hair. The water splashed in the direc
tion of Black, who nimbly jumped back
to avoid it. He had failed to obey that
old proverb: “Look before yon leap,”
and he went souse into a vat of tanning
liquor. His heels flew up from under
him and lie sat down up to his neck in
the dark brown liquor, which splashed
all over his head and face.
As soon as the workmen could stop
laughing sufficiently to act they pulled
him out of his unpleasant bath, nnd he
stood dripping on the walk, looking like
some beer god just after a bath iu the

A Remarkable Dog.
Who-o-o, wh,o-y.-9, who-who lin a way
which sounded very much like j,h, e regu
lation whistle of the Consolidated road
locomotive and down jto a littjo station
on the Shore Line division hurried a# old
gentleman. Anxiety and perspiration
was on every part of his face, says a
Bridgeport (Conn.) letter to the New
York Sun, for he fully expected to find
the train already puffing and blowing at
the station. Well, he said, as he looked
in either direction and could see nothing
of the train. “I believe it is that dog
again.”
“You see,” said the ancient fellow,
later, “this town has one of the most
wonderful dogs in the world. Ilis ownei

man waiting at the depot for a train heard
what he supposed to be it approaching.
He listened, but no other sound came for
fully five minutes, when the train
came in sight. It happened that in u

rtKGINNIMI TIIK I*o It I,THY HLSINESS.
Sometimes it is not easy to deddo how
to skirt. Tho llrst thing for the beginner
is to determine what breed hu likes best,
and thnt would bo suitable to his pur
|s)sc, no matter what others may like or
seleet for their use. You must individu
ally suit your own tastes and purposes,
or you will never be satisfied. After hav
ing decided, the next thing to consider is
of whom you will purchase. It is not
best to start on a cheap plan; as a gen
eral rule it is with poultry ns with other
things, tho cheapest is the dearest in the
end. Do not canvass the country to find
the man who sells eggs or birds at low
prices, but rather find one who sells the
best stock at reasonable prices. —Timet
Democrat.
HALTING STOCK. '
Too many farmers salt their stock on
the “impulse, or spasmodic plan.’ I hat
is, they give them an extra allowance one
day, aud in perhaps a week or fortnight,
according to the urgency of furm opera
tions or tho importance they attach to
this matter, deal out another supply.
This is certainly a wrong practice, as
stock should be salted at least twice a
week and regularly. lam positive that
if tho housewife knew what an important
factor this salting of cows is in butter
making, someone would attend to it in a
more systematic manner.
This can bo done by providing “salt
boxes” attached to a fence, building or
post, provided either with a hinge cover
or a swinging door in front, in which is
n supply of salt. In cither case
leave the door open for several days, and
when closed you will be surprised to see
how quickly cattle, horses and sheep
learn to open it. You will also learn
that by the old plan you have failed to
give them an adequate supply. If pos
sible, have the cattle box separate from
that for the horses, as the former are
rather dainty on this point. —New York
Examiner.
EVAPORATING FRUIT.
An authority advises that with small
fruits, especially, care should be taken
not to allow them to get too ripe, and in
handling not to mash or bruise, Mushy
fruit will not evaporate in as gpod con
dition as that which is more solid. The
heat should be given gradually, taking
care at all times not tp get tpo hot. It is
an easy matter to burn the fruit, pr dry
it so that the natural juices are all ex
tracted, and the fruit "ill he nearly or
quite all seed and almost tasteless. After
securing the right fempcratHro to dry
rapidly, keep it sq as nearly ua possible.
The damper can be used tp advantage.
After a start is made usually the lower
trays will dry faster, and it >yill he a
good plan to change, nnd then the try3
can be doubled up; that which is in two
trays can be put into one and the empty
one be filled with fresh fruit, nnd in this
way a system of emptying and filling can
be kept up, and witli a fair-sized evapo
rator it will require the steady work of
one person at least to keep it going. A
good plan after it inis dried is to put it
iu muslin sacks without starch and lay in
the sun for two or three days. The fruit
will keep better than if it is sorted in
boxes or barrels.
MULCHING TREES.
Mulching is generally applied to trees
for one of two objects; late in the fall or
early in winter as a protection against
thawing and freezing during the winter.
And in the latter part of spring or early
summer as an aid in retaining moisture in
the soil. By its aid a better growth and
development is secured, but at this time
it is possible to allow it to remain too long,
and cause as much injury to result ns
benefit has been derived.
Time must be given for the new growth
pf wood to fully mature and harden be
fore frpezipg weather sets in. If nt>t ma
tufed, the Liability of being injured by
freezing is corwKterabjy increased. Al
lowing tlie mulch to remain’ around fhe
trees fgo long, or continuing thh’ cultiva
tion it)9 late, will aid .to keep the plants
growing and lessen jJj.e tjme for the wood
tp mature. This is especially thp case
where tire trees are growing in good, nab
(Ofl, and good .cultivation has been given
early in the ss aso# in order to induce a
thrifty and vigorous growth,
If the trees keep on making pew
growth, the better plan is to remove the
mulch and not stir the soil. In many
eases this will check the growth suf
ficiently to induce a proper hardening,
Young trees are oftap severely injured by
freezing the new growth of wood, often so
severely that they never fully recover from
the effects, and it is certainly advisable to
avoid this as much as possible,
After the ground freezes hard, the
mulch can be applied again in order to
prevent injury from thawing and freez
ing. But early in the fall aud until the
ground freezes hard, and then again after
settled weather in the spring until early
in thd suttimer, the mulch, should be re
rtirtved from around the trees.—AVoon,

Palmistry Has Rules.
Palmistry, us practiced principally by
flu* gypsies and even less perfectly by u
low uuimmupled or iui*guid©t protriul
rrs as u means of fortune-telling, bus
m ,v„ r been recognized by intelligent
artists as others than a pnstiine or a
harmless delusion, and nt the present
(lav the art is used almost entirely In
delineation „f character, white the for
tune telling feature is left to the igno
rant theouriou*, and the superstitions.
It must not l>e inferred from tins tlmt
the fortune tolling palmists, and espe
cially the gypsies read tho hand at
hazard. This would be very far from
the truth, for nearly every one who
iiays any attention to this line of the
art works iu accordance with more or
lei d,Jinito rules, so that any fairly e\-
perieuced palmist even though mis
taken -would read sub* 1 initially the
same fortune from the tamo pur of
handset diflurent times -not from mem
ory of the hull Is, but fr ill tlio applica
tion of whatever rules ho might lie ill
the habit of using. More than this,
I any lnuntier of well-instructed gypsies
; would read substantially the same for
tune from any pair of hands, within a
few days of each other, without any
consultation or collusion witli each
other. „„
No one has two hands alike. 1 lie
loft hand that is, the less active hand
shows more nearly than the right
hand one’s natural or inherited peett i
unties, while the right baud, or the one
moie active, always exhibits more fully
the acquired eliamctcrisries. This dif
ference in hands, which is universal, in
forms the palmist as t > which way the
man or woman is growing, and is there
fore one of tin* keys l>y which to unlock
many of tlio less easily solved mysteries
of the soul. Hands differ indefinitely
in size, ranging from the oxtiomes of
large and small, and this difference ex
tends to the three dimensions, so that
hands may lie anywhere from long to
short, from broad to narrow, and from
thick to thin, and usually each pair of
hands differ one from tlio other iu there
