TIMELY TOPICS.
T)r. Loftgp, the piolcs-nr of Chinese at
Oxford, England, says that if the pres
ent rate of conversion of the Chinese to
Christianity continues, by the year 1913
there will be 29,000,000 of church mem
bers and 100,000,000 of professing Chris
tians in the Chinese empire.
The Jesuits were expelled in 1507 from
Venice, in 1708 from Holland, in 1704
from France, in 1767 from Spain, in 1820
from Russia, in 1820 from England, in
1872 from Germany, and i in 1873 from
Italy. They h ivc been expelled from
several of the South American repub
lics, also from Mexico, and have now
been expelled from the French republic.
A long and hard struggle waB made
by J. W. Duun to save his family from
drowning in Pensncola bay, Florida.
He was out sailing with his wife nnd
five children, when a squall capsized the
boat. Being a good swimmer, ho was
able to place the hands of the entire
party on the edge of the craft, or in the
case of the younger children to put them
on the bottom. But the water was
rough, the wind continued to blow furi
ously, and one after another they were
dislodyed. He brought them back re
peatedly, and for eighteen',hours did his
utmost to Keep them in place; but when
the boat finally drifted to shore only the
pnrents and one child remained. Dunn
was made insane by the excitement nnd
exertion.
A sewing machine Rgent in driviug
through Monroe county, Kentucky,
drew up before a cottage and asked a
beardless sixteen-year-old bov standing
in the yard if his mother was at home.
" Sho is, but she don’t live here,” ho an
swered. “ I’m the head of this house."
Finding the boy married, the agent went
inside nnd encountered a child, w..o
said she was the boy’s wife, and that
when sho was married sho was not
eleven years old. " What on earth did
you two rnnrry forP" asked the agent.
“ What doother folks rnnrry [forP” the
child replied. The boy said that lie in
tended to buy a sewing machino for his
wife when she got old enough to sew.
“Come nround in three or four years,"
he said, “ and I’ll take one."
The champion jack-of-all-trades be

“Turning-Points in Lire.”
Rev. Frederick Arnold thus happily
illustrates the diffetence between the
‘ Providenco that shapes our ends ” and
what men call “luck’’ nnd “chance”:
What wo call the “ turning-point ” is
simply an occasion which sums up and
brings to result previous training. Ac
cidental circumstances are nothing ex
cept to men who have been trained to
take advantage of them. Erikine made
himself famous when the chance came
to him of making a great forscnic dis
play; but unless ho had trained himself
for the chance, the chance would only
have made him ridiculous.
There is a story told of some gentle
man, who, on a battlefield, happening
to bow with much grace to some officer
who addressed him, a cannon ball just
went through his hair, and took off the
head of one behind him. The officer,
when he saw the mnrvelous escape,
justly observed thnt no man ever lost by
politeness.
There is a man in Berkshire, Eng
land, who hns a park with a wnlled
frontage of seven miles, and he tells of
a beautiful little operation which made a
nice little addition to his fortune. He was
in Australia when »ho first discoveries
of gold were made. The miners brought
in their nuggets and brought them to
the local banks. The bankers were a
little nervous about the business, uncer
tain about the qunlity of the gold, and
wnited to see its character established.
This man had a taste lor natural sciences
nnd knew something about metallurgy
Ho tried each test, solid and fluid
satisfied himself of the quality of the
gold, nnd then, with all the money he
had or could borrow, he bought as much
gold as might be, and showed, as profit,
a hundred thousand pounds in the
course of a day or two. His luck was
observation nnd knowledge, and a
happy tact in applying them.
The Inte Joseph Hume went out to
India, nnd while he was still a young
man he accumulated a considerable for
tune. He npplied himself to the work of
mastering the native languages, nnd
turned the knowledge to most profitable
account . On one occasion, when all the
gunpowder had failed the British army,
he succeeded in scraping together a
large amount of the necessary material,
and manufactured it for the troops.
Whon lie returned to England ho can
vassed with so much ability nnd earnest
ness for a seat in the East India direc
torate, that he might carry out his
scheme of reform, that, though ho failed
to got the vote of a certain large pro
prietor ol stock, he won Ills daughter’s
heart, and made a prosperous mnrrlage.
And marriage is, after all, the luckiest
bit of luck, when it is all it should bo.
Thero is, then, in truth, no luck.
There are turning points in life, mo
ments, critical moments, that aro worth
more than years; nevertheless a great
occasion is only wortli to a man what
his antecedents have enabled him to
make of it, and our business in life is to
proparo for theso supreme moments,
these hours whon life dopends on the
decision of tho instant. Whatevor of
truth is veiled under the popular idea
of luck nnd chance, is, rightly consid
ered, an incentive to tho busiest indus
try, not an excuse for folded hands nnd
idle dreams.
There is a lady in Cincinnati, Mrs. M.
L. Nichols, daughter of Mr. Longworth,
one of the wealthiest oitizens of the
Queen city, who, having a taste for
decorative art, has for a long time past
worked daily in the pottery of a Mr.
Dallas as steadily and hard as any
artisan in tho establishment. Her wares
have been much admired for tho unique
character of the docoralive forms upon
them, her fancy, supported by a prolific
inventive hiculty, producing work
vastly different from her co-laborers
who subordinate originality in design
to beauty in finish. In order that she
might not be hampered by delays, for
she is a very rapid worker, sho induced
Mr. Dallas to build a kiln for her par
ticular use, and so successful has she
been both in producing and disposing
of her wares that she has accumulated
quite a handsome sum of money received
from the sale of her vases. She is now
building a pottery of her own, and wii]
engage in the business as a regulnr on
terprise.
Robinson Crusoe’s Island.
Robinson Crusoe’s Island is to-day a
little paradise. Lord planted there, on
ono of his voyages, apples, peaches,
grapes, plums, strawberries and several
kinds o! vegetables. The number of the
latter was increased by a Scotchman,
David Douglass, who landed on the
island in 1825. Ho was not a little
astonished to find a hermit there, who
had been on tho island five years. On
the second day he was not a little sur
prised to see a man suddenly emerge
from a clump of bushes and approach
turn. He looked upon him as Crusoe’s
successor, although he did not oocupy
the historical cave, having built himself
a hut of stones and sods, roofing it with
the straw of wild oats. As cooking
utensils, he possessed only a single iron
pot, the bottom of which, one unfortu-
. natc day, had fallen out. The damage
he had, however, had the ingenuity to
repair with a wooden bottom; but now
he was compelled to place his pot in
the ground and build a fire around it.
This man’s name was William Clark,
and he came [from London. He had a
few books, and among .them there was
a copy of Robinson Crusoe’s adventures
and ol Cowper’s poems. He called
Douglass’ attention especially to the
well-known poem beginning:
" J' m monarch ol all I survey,
My rights there’s none to dispute,” etc.
Nevertheless, he did not seem to be
happy. There was one wish, his great
est, he could not gratify-he could get
no roast beef! At present this island is
in possession oi a colony of Germans,
bixty or seventy of our countrymen,
under the leadership of an engineer
? n aD iRM RO m! rt Wehrhahn - settled there
h .® 3 ' describe the island as
being m the highest degree salubrious
and fruitful. On their arrival they
found large flocks of goats, about thirty
half-Wild horses, and some sixty asses.
Ihey brought with them cows, hogs
farming utensils, small boats, and fish-
g- tackle. Appleton's Journal,

How lo Tell a Good Milch Cow.
Tho signs of a good milch cow arc
many, and we should roly, not upor
one, two or three of them, out upon the
largest combination we can find in any
one animal. The first wc should rcgai d
would be a large, well-developed udder,
or bag, as tanners call it. This is the
gland in which the milk is secreted, and
must be large and well hung to hold
and sustain a largo amount of milk.
Many persons are deceived as to the size
of the udder by seeing it hang low. We
like to see an udder broad and moder
ately deep in the rear, and extending far
under the belly, with tho teals well
spread, of good size, and with the ends
nbout on a lev: 1. •With the hind teats
extending two cr three inches[below
the forward ones, we do not expect n
good milker, though tho udder may look
large from behind; but with a bag hung
long nnd broad, and with the teats set
as above described, wc have never
known a cow to fail of filling a milk-
pail. To make a correct judgment of
the udder, a [flank as well as rear view
must bo taken, nnd always give the
preference to one that extends far for
ward and has large milk-veins. Next
to tho udder, which indicates the quan
tity rather than tho quality of milk, we
should examino tho skin, hair, ears and
horns. If the hair is soft and jshort and
the skin soft, flexible and yellow, the
milk will probably bo rich. This may
be further determined by looking into
tho ears. If these are translucent and
of the color of beeswax, it is a sign of
good, creamy milk, and the wnxy ap
pearance of the horns also indicates tho
same thing. Tho Jerseys uniformly
possess soft hair, flexible skin of a yel
low tinge, which is especially manifest
in their cars. Thin skins aro so supple
nnd yellow that they appear to have
been soaked in cream.
Ono Ilnnuroa and Twelve Years Old.
Many thero aro who aro skeptioal
about anybody nowadays living one
hundred years. Tho fiction concerning
George Washington’s much too many
nurses lmd .touch to do with this in
credulity. But last spring tho legisla
ture of Now York sont official greeting
loan cx-mombor who had passed his
ono hundred yenrs on May 20, nnd who
is not dr ad yet, and an Austrian cor
respondent writes of a continental case
of interest and historical importance.
Ho says:
One of the oldest ladies in Europe died
the other day in Gleiwitz, a small town
in Prussian Silesia, having retained her
memory and the uie of nli her senses,
except that of sight, up to tho day of her
decease. Judith Singer was born on the
llth of Jano, 1768, and, tiltlio' gh she
did not marry until she had 'co opleted
her twenty-sixth year, was th lawful
mother of two children when tli i present
emperor of Germany came into tho
world, nearly eighty-three years and a
half ago. Of the fifteen sons and daugh
ters she boro to her husband, the verger
of the Jewish synagogue at Gleiwitz,
hut three survive. Mrs. Singer buried
her eldest daughter, a venerablo dame
of eighty-four, Inst year. On her own
112th birthday, being the fiftieth anni
versary of the emperor’s wedding day,
sho addressed a letter of congratulation
to his majesty, and received an auto
graphic acknowledgment of her commu
nication, inclosing a banknote for one
hundred marks, which she forthwith be
stowed on a local.'oharitable institution.
Amongst the remembrances of Mrs.
Singer’s unmarried girlhood were
events which have long since been relo-
gated to the pages of history. Eighteen
years of her life were passed under the
reign of Frederick the Groat, and she
hud just attained her majority when tho
grot French revolution broke out. She
professed to reoollect with perfect clear-
n ss the rejoicings celebrated in her na
tive town upon the occasion of the first
partition of Poland, which took place
three years before the Declaration of
American Independence.
How to Kuehre the Horen.
Ten yenrs or moro ago I tried tho uso
of paper bands nnd gas tar, in various
forms, on my peach trees, and, whon
carefully applied, it was uffectivo iu ex
cluding borers, but for tho past seven or
eight years I have practiced a much
moro excellent way, and I know other
fruitgrowers who have done tho same,
and would rot think of going back to
tho old methods. It is simply using
carbolic acid, which is tho essence or
spirit of gas tar, and is easily made to
combine with water by adding sonp,
while the tar itself will not combine,
and is far less safe and cleanly in its ap
plication. My rule for preventing
borers is ro get a pint ol crude carbolic
acid—costing twenty-five cents, nnd is
sufficient for twenty gallons of tho wash.
Take a tight barrel nnd put iu four or
five gallons of soft soap, with as much
hot water to thin it; then stir iu the
pint of carbolic acid, and let stand over
night or longer to combine. Now add
twelve gallops of rain water and stir
well; then apply to the base of the tree
with a short broom or old paint brush,
taking pains to wet insido of all crevices.
This will prevent both peach and apple
borers. It should be applied the latter
part of June in this climate, when tho
moths and beetlesusunlly appear. The
odor is so pungent and lasting that no
eggs will be deposited whore it has been
npplied, and the effects will continue
until after the insects have done flying

Could Die When Re Pleased.
In the earlier part of the last oentury
there lived in Scotland a Colonel Town-
shend, who could apparently die when
ever he chose, and come to life at will.
His frame would become rigid and cold,
his eyes dull and ghastly, and his fea
tures shrunk and waxy as in death.
In this state he would remain for sev
eral hours, and then would slowly re
vive. He once performed this strange
experiment in the presence of three phy
sicians, who, perceiving no pulsation of
the heart and no respiration, convinced
themselves that he was really dead.
But soon after they left him he revived.
It has been asserted that he actually
died while repeating the ghastly per
formance.

Spreading Manure-
From the time the manure is dropped
until it is spread upon the land there is
a continual loss, by gradual decomposi
tion and washing by rains. When upon
the soil this loss is not sustained! ns.die
rains carry the valuable solutions down
into tho soil, where they are absorbed
and retained. It is, therefore, the best
practice to spread the manure upon the
meadows and plowed land, in fact any
where that plant food is required, both
now and through the winter. There is
a saving in labor to draw the manure in
winter, when the snow is on the ground,
as it is easier to load it upon a sled than
a wagon, and the load can be drawn
with greater ease.
Man’s Natural Age.
According to the theory of the late
Professor Faraday, the natural age of
man should bo 100 years. The duration
of life, both in man and animals, he be
lieved to be measured by its time of
growth, its natural termination being
five removes from that point. Man be
ing twenty years in growing, lives five
times twenty—100 years. Ho also
divides life into equal halves, growth
and decline; and these into infancy,
youth, virility and age; infancy ex
tending to the twentieth year; youth to
the fiftieth—because it is in this! period
the tissues become firm; virility from
fifty to seventy-five—during which tlie
organism remains complete; and at
seventy-five old age commences.

Abeddin replied.humbly that he had put
on his very best. W hereupon the sultan
directed one of his secretaries lo give an
order on tho imperial tailor to rig the
pasha out completely. Abeddin accord
ingly ordered thirty-five coats, thirty
live waistcoats and tho same number of
every other garment. Since then the
mean attire of functionaries who have
called at the palace has been quite
striking, but none of theso imitators has
as yet excited the sultan’s commisera

Discharging a Conductor.
Robert Criswoi), the man whose wit
gave the Oi. City Derrie't, its funny repu
tation, played a heartless joke on a Cin-
cir.nati car conductor for rudeness.
Cris n el 1 was going home on l he horse-car
in question, and It was crowded inside,
so lie loafed on the rear platform. The
conductor told him to go inside. Cris
well said lie didn’t care to go inside,
hut the conductor insisted, nnd loudly
threatened to put him off. Everybody
began to look nt the dispute, hut Cris
well saw nobody that know him and
determined to have his little joke. The
conductor yelled: “Come, young fellow,
get inside, or I’ll bounce you clear
across the street!’’ Criswell turned on
him and said, In a severe manner: “My
man, you don’t know who I am, but
I’ve had my eyes on you for several
days. There are too many conductors
like you [on the road, nnd we are losing
lriends every day because our pntrons
are insulted by conductors who are boors
and rulllans. [Now |you can pull the
