'ORLD FAMOUS -CfflllES. ELSIIRATEt) MON3TEH EELIiS OF FOREIGN lands. ho Largest of Tintinnabulatins; G.ants is in Japan—The Oldest Peal of Bells in America. *Tlie largest bell in the world hangs a a greatT tower in the city of Kioto, apart, says the Boston Herald. It is weuty-four feet high, but as it is struck u the outside with a wooden hammer, a sound is comparatively feeble. China ossesse3 many large bells, but, like the arge bell of Kioto, they are worthless ccording to our standard. Their pro lortious are wrong, for they are as large ,t the top as tit the bottom, aud, being truck, by wooden hammers, their ones are no more terrific than those vhicb emanate from the steeple of a jountry meeting-house in New England. The Turks abhor bells, and are said to >e adverse to admitting them into their jountry, for they seein to regard them as nimical t*o their faith. On the other land, the Germans have a peculiar everence for bells, and in the Hartz nountaius the casting of one is made an iccasion of great public rejoicing. In Kaudelav, when the hour is struck upon i bell, a public official cries: “By the avor of His Majesty the King, it is such md such o’clock!” The ceremony, which [till prevails in some parts of our own ■ountry and in England, of ringing the ihurch bells at 9 o’clock in the evening, s, doubtless, a survival of the practice sounding the Curfew or cover fire, ivhich William the Conqueror intro luced into England as a familiar sustom of his Norman home. At Ox ford University it was long a time lonored custom, and one that may exist, b-day, that caused the bell known as “Great Tom” to ring 101 blows at a cer tain hour in the evening for the purpose of calling the students home to bed, and at Yorkminster, England, for some un accountable reason, an old verger climbs the stairs of the high tower each noon, and with an iron hammer strikes twelve blows upon the tenton bell. A little clockwork in this instance would save a great deal of labor. The old Church of St. Sepulchre in London, well known to all American visitors as containing all that is mortal of Captain John Smith, whose name is familiar to every boy aud girl in the States as that of the hro of the Powhatan-Pocnhontas episode, which possesses a bell which used to toll when ever a convict at the Newgate prison, on the other side of the street, was led out to execution at Tyburn Fields. As the unfortunate man passed the church, sitting on his coffin in the open prison £art, the sexton would present him with a little nosegay in token of the beauties of the earth upon which the eyes of the poor wretch would soon close forever. \\ hen the Royal Exchange in London was destroyed by fire in the dismay •bf the Cockneys was changed to momen tary amusement as the famous chimes which, by a mechanical device, were made to play a different Uine each day of the week, struck up the famous air “There’s Nae Luck Aboot the House, M just as the roof fell in. Various nations of Europe make various boasts regarding their respective bell. The thirteen ton beli of Erfurt, for instance, is said to contain the finest metal in the world, but the Church of St. Stephen, at Vienna contents, itself with possessing the largest bell in German countries. The people of Antwerp point with justitiable pride to the sixty five bells in their superb cathedral. The fine church edifice in Mechim follows thi9 with forty-four bells. The famous belfry of Bruges presses fast behind with forty one bells, and Ghent makes a respectable showing With thirty-nine in a single tower. The oldest chime of bells in America is the chime of eight on Christ Church, Salem street, Boston. They were brought from England in 1744 and were pro cured by subscription, Mr. John Rowe giving the freight. They Cost S2BOO, the charges for wheels and putting them in place were $465. Next to the giant of Kioto, the mons ter of Moscow, Russia, is the largest bell in the world. This marvelous specimen of the founder’s art weighs more than 220 tons. It is more than 21 feet high and is 67 feet in circumference, and being mounted on a huge stone pe destal, now.serves as a chapel. A great fragment being broken from one side easy access is afforded to the interior. There is a mystery about this great bell, >nd a mystery as great a 9 the bell itself. History does not report whether this enormous mass of metal has ever been hung or rung. The exact age of the bell does not seem to have been accurately determined. Some writers assert that #s the bell was being raised upon one of the great towers of the Kremlin it fell and broke. Others affirm that it had .been safely hung when the building taught fire and that the water used to ex tinguish the fiarnes cracked the heated metal and rent a great mass from its side; while others are equally positive that the injury was done in the process of cast ing, and that the bell lay in the foundry pit for 103 years, and was then dug out and placed upon the pedestal where it stands to-day. It is not easy to see the use of such a metallic monster. Nothing short of steam power could swing the mass of metal, and steam power was un known in the days when the Moscow bell was cast. The value of the metal alone has been computed at about $350,000, and it is said that a large quantity of gold and silver was mixed with it. The twelve bells of St. Paul’s Cathe dral in London are said to be the great est ringing peal in the world. It is a matter of pride with the English that they always swing tlieir bells instead of merely swinging the clappers after the fashion prevailing in Russia and other parts of continental Europe. The Russians have a passion for big bells. There are numbers of them in Moscow. In the tower of Ivan, in the Kremlin, hangs a sixty-ton bell, which is rung only three times a year, and then Jhe combined efforts of three men are re quired to swing the hammer. Above this hang forty bells of various dimen sions, a mountain of metal capable of emitting the most deafening sounds. ! 'n Easter eve, a deathlike silence reins |hroughout magnificent Moscow Sud denly, at midnight, from the tower of Ivan, the mighty congregation of bells peals forth in a tumultuous and dis cordant crash. Then the bells of the en tire city join in the metallic uproar. FARM AND UARI> _____ Remedy for the Heave* Unless the disease is the result of a change in the structure of the air tubes or the lunge, it can be cured by giving soft feed and avoiding clover hay. The food should be the best grass hay, cut before it is in blossom, and free from pollen and mildew. This is cut in short chaff, slightly moistened, and then mixed with the ground feed, which should be oats, corn and bran, in equal parts, ground together. It would be advisable to give with the feed, three times a week, a tablespoonful of the following mixture: One pound of salt, h.iif a pound of car bonate of soda, four ounces of ground ginger, and two ounces each of powdered calisaya bark and sulphate of iron. —Hew York Tlines. The Oat Crop as a Fertilizer. Oats do not enrich the soil to a great extent, and it is not advisable to sow oats twice in succession on the same field un less the ground is previously plowed in the fail, and it is not always advisable to do this. Oats stubble grows excellent wheat, it is true, and it undoubtedly is true that the wheat crop from oats stub ble is better than it would have been if sown a year previous, or before oats had been grown from the land. Given the choice of two fields for corn, one a timothy meadow of six or eight years standing, the other an oats stubble of average fer tility, and the oats stubble is much pre ferable for the corn crop. Cats rather tend to prepare the soil for other crops, while clover enriches both for itself and other crops.— Hew York Witness. The Carrot as a Farm Crop. The carrot can be grown upon any good, mellow, loamy soil, but requires liberal feeding, and its cultivation should not be attempted in a soil that is ex cessively weedy, or the labor at first will be so great as to become discouraging, as they must be kept clean in order to in sure even average success. The carrot is, however, when fairly rooted, a rapid and vigorous grower, and its spreading foliage greatly assists keeping down any growth of weeds. Several hundred bush els may be grown upon the acre. They should be harvested before they are in jured by frosts aud put in a root cellar that is secure from freezing. With dry hay they form a most valuable supple mentary food, and are especially liked by horses, which seem to thrive under them. Some farmers consider them fully as valuable as oats for horse- 1 , and will not be without them. They are also ex cellent for milch cows, giving a rich, wholesome color to the cream aud but ter. It is a crop worthy of cultivation. Cut Out Small, Useless Wood. '' A clean bole, free from knots and gnarls, is a handsome sight in a tree, whether a fruit or shade tree. Every large branch removed leaves a scar, more or les3 conspicuous, that in most cases may be obviated by summer prun ing. Too heavy summer lopping of large branches has a tendency to check growth, but the cutting out of water-shoots up the stem, and unless young branches, started fiom the inside of a tree where no light can reach them, promotes growth. If allowed to remain they will live but a few years, aud if not then re moved give a tree that unsightly appear ance of having a mass of dead spray in and around its body. Cut them out in the summer, they then leave no wound. The same rule will hold good with cur rants and gooseberries. A mass of shoots in the center of a bush is worse than use less. The red currant is often badly infested with the borer. In that case there is often much dead wood from this source. When this is cut off, the fire is the best place for these trimmings, so as to get rid of the borers in the wood.— Prairie Fanner. Poultry for Orchards. While it is an undisputed fact, says the Poultry GuuiJ, that an orchard is one of the best places in which to establish a poultry yard, we have also found poul try to be excellent for fruit trees. We have sixteen Shockley apple trees, now seven years old. standing in and around our poultry yards. Some of these stand ing directly in the run of the fowls, has as many apples as any five of the trees on the outside. This is conclusive evi dence that the one is beneficial to the other. The chickens destroy ail bugs and other insects that prey upon the trees and fruit; at the same time they keep down all grass and weeds and keep the surface of the ground scratched up and in a mellow condition, thus pro moting the health and vigor of the trees, causing them to bear larger and better crops of fruit. Some of the trees in our yards are literally hanging with nice ap ples and so heavily laden that we are compelled to keep the limbs well propped to keep them from breaking down. Shade is one of the indispensa bles about a poultry establishment dur ing the summer months, and it is cer tainly better and more profitable to have some good variety of fruit. We at the same time get the needed shade while we get a bountiful supply of delicious fruit, if of the right kind. We would certain ly advise all to have orchards for poultry and poultry for orchards, for the one will be greatly benefited by the other. Spearmint and Peppermint. A Minnesota correspondent in Ameri can Garden gives the foilwing advice and information concerning the culture of spearmint and peppermint: Select the dampest piece of land you have, thor oughly cultivate, clean and dress it lib erally with farmyard manure, well rotted, and work it thoroughly into the soil to a good depth, tor mint likes a deep, rich, damp soil. Get as many roots as you require, then plow out fur roughs across the field, or dig holes one foot apart each way and three or four inches deep; into those drop the roots and have some one to follow and cover them immediately, so they will not dry. Make all level, keep clean of weeds by hoeing, and at the end of the two fol lowing seasons plough the field. This cuts and separates the roots, which will soon start again and mat the ground completely with new growth. Keep clear of weeds. After you cut the green mint in July or August give the land a top diessing of well-rotted manure; do not disturb the root again and you will hae good crops of mint for many years. Mint can also be grown in heated pita, •r frames under glass during the winter, if well watered. When you have once jjot a plantation of mint you can enlarge it to any extent Hy simply cutting the green stalks close .to the ground, take them to the land prepared, stretch a line across and dibble them in as you would cabbage plants. Firm the soil well to each .cutting. Do this in damp or dull weather. The cut tings will soon root and eventually make a better plantation than by the other mode of planting. Guinea Fowls. The guinea fowl is a native of Africa and has never outgrown its wild nature enough to be closely confined, when bred for domestic uses. The white and the pearl are the two varieties most com monly found in a domestic state. With propriety the Guinea may be called the watch dog of the poultry yard—ever watchful and on the alert, it gives the note of warning on the first approach of danger. Aside from the warfare they wage against various kinds of insect and ver min pests of the farm, they cannot be considered of much pecuniary profit to the farmer. They are an ornament to the farm yard and often prevent the loss of other poultry, by giving the alarm of approaching danger. Mrs. J. B. Howe, in the Farmers 7 Pevier, gives a “chat 5 * about them from which we take the following: The pearl or speckled guinea is rather more wild in its habits than the white, and delights in hiding its nest in some lonely and sequestered spot, in which it deposits a large number of egg l , it un disturbed, but if the nest of eggs are meddled with, it deserts the nest, and seeks a new one. Its eggs require four weeks to hatch, and the young have all the shyness of young prairie chickens or quails. The fiesh of the speckled guinea is dark colored and inclined to dryness. On the other hand the white guinea is quite domestic in its habits, especially if reared by chicken hens, and in such cases runs with the chickens and lays in their nests, the same as the hens. They never forget the hen that reared them, but will follow her through thick and thin, until they are fully grown, and if separated from her they show a marked preference for hens of her color. Its young is also 6hy and ten der, until say a couple of weeks old, when, if handed properly, they become as hardy as any of the fowl tribe. For the first week or two the young should be fed upon coarse oat meal slightly scalded and salted, or crumbs of stale bread soaked in milk curd, aud maybe a little hard boiled egg. All food slightly salted and fed often. Gravel and green tender stuff, such as lettuce, onion tops and the like, should also be mixed with the food. They should not be kept too long confined, as their wild nature, like that of the turkey, demands a certain degree of freedom and liberty to search for insects. The fiesh of the wliita. guinea, unlike that of its speckled rela tion, is yellow and very tender and tooth some. In color they are pure white, ex cept the head, which is red. The legs are yellow. Guineas aie very sprightly and watchful fowls, spying a hawk, skunk, weasel, or strange cat or dog before any of the other fowls, and setting up their peculiar diu to frighten the intruder and to give warning of his approach. They also observe if any of the fowls get beyond their accustomed limits and fearlessly attack them and per sistently keep after them until the wrong is righted. The white guinea, especially, is a very fine layer, almost rivaling the Leghorns. They begin early and continue on until many of the hens have stopped to rest. They are quite interesting fowls, and for many reasons amply repay the pains required to rear them. Their odd looks and voice, together with their pretty plumage, attract many admirers. The male and female are similar in appear ance and plumage, but are easily dis tinguished by their different manner of speaking. The hen calls in what has often beeii said to resemble the cry of “buckwheat,” while the male makes a sort of whining sound, all in one syllable and with one intonation. Guineas grow and mature rapidly aud for broilers equal young chickens. Farm and Garden Notes. It doe 3 not pay to feed runts Feed more wheat and less corn. Sorghum is highly recommended foi dairy cows. Chickens to thrive must have plenty of green food. The green hay is twice as nutritious as the over-ripe. In England ensilage is fed to sheep with good results. Breed, weed and feed are tho three needs of stock-raising. Who is the mother of the incubator chick l The mau who tends the brooder? If the hens be well cared for while moulting, they will begin to lay before winter. The horses that are best able to stand hard strains, are those which work steadily. Coops no longer needed will last longer if whitewashed and put away un der cover. i Do not get the pullets too fat by high feeding. Let them grow bony and muscular. Farms always sell most readily, and at the highest prices, where roads are kept in the best repair. Thirty minutes spent in cleaning up a team in the evening, may mean an hour’s gain in time the next day. If you are troubled with white specks in butter, try stirring the cream every morning before it 19 churned. A New EngJlnd farmer concludes that a farmer can keep a sheep with ever] cow without any additional expense. All fallen young fruit should be col lected and destroyed in some manner, a; many insects will then be killed by do ing so. In marketing any farm produce it should be remembered that the sale is best made when it attracts the eye by the neatness in wnich it is displayed for sale. Salt should always be placed where swine can have free access to it, but do not keep it on the ground in the barn yard or pig pen. Have it in troughs oj on shelves. Many milliners are conducting theii business on the plan of going from house to house trimming bonnets and hats, instead of remaining at their shop! to receive custom. The schemeis said to increase trade, and at the same tim< be economical fer the patrons. What Fush Can Accomplish. The first experience of a millionaire merchant of Philadelphia on his arrival in this country aptly illustrates what push can accomplish. When he stepped ashore from the sailing vessel, he said, “I was without money or friends. I spoke to a man on the wharf, and asked him what to do. Ho replied, ‘Work, young man. Have you any motto? 1 ‘No,’ I said. ‘What do yon mean?’ He said, ‘Every man must have a motto. Now think of one. Go out and hunt for work. ’ “I started, thinking of a motto. As I walked along the street I saw painted on a door the word ‘Push.’ I said, ‘That shall be my motto.’ I did push at that door, and entered an office. I was asked what I wanted. I said, ‘Work, and the word on your door gave me not only a motto, but confidence.’ “My manner pleased the man. He asked me many questions, all of which were answered promptly. He said at last: ‘ I wont a boy of “push,” and as you have adopted that for your motto, I will try you.’ “He did. My suocess followed, and the motto that made my fortune will make that of others.” The word is old, short, and crisp, but it expresses everything, and has carved out fortune and fame for hundreds of thousands of poor and obscure boys.— Pry Goods Chronicle.

When he was seven years old he was bound out to learn the shoe making trade. His early life was a hard one, butlie did not complain. He lnid an ambition to be master of his trade: he worked hard and learned all he could. Having saved a little money by hard work at the bench he began to manufacture shoes at Brockton, Mass., July 6, 1876. His knowledge of the business gave him a great advantage over his competitors. He worked hard and saved his money ; his busi. ness began to increase and in May. 1883, his ad vertisement first appeared in the papers, ad vertising W. L. Douglas s3Shoe. He lias since added several other kinds, which he describes in his advertisement that appears in this paper from time to time. It is a fact known by those who wear his shoes that lie gives more value for the money than any other shoe manufac turer. XV. L Douglas’s factory is 426 feet long, .10 feet wide, three stories high; lie em ploys 300 workmen with a pay roll of J-4000 per week. His sales are 1800 pairs per day; his business is increasing very rapidly and will 'reach over £1,000,000 this year. He pays the highest wages paid in the city, and is highly ’regarded by tho-e who work tor him. If you are in want of a pair of shoes it will pay you to so to your abater and examine a pair before you buy any ottier make. There is one thing certain, you will find his shoes the best value for the price, and Tree from shoddy. W. L. Douglas built up liis reputation by making honest shoes.

Consumption, Wasting Diseases And General Debility. Doctors disagree as to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and Hypo phosphites; the one supplying strength and flesh, the other giving nerve power, and acting as a tonic to the digestive and entire system. But in Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with Hypophospliites the two are combined, and the effect is wonderful. Thousands who have derived no permanent benefit from ottier Preparations have been cured by this. ' r-cott’s mulsion is perfectly palatable and is easily digested by those who cannot tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil. i There are 700 men in the world, worth over $5,000,000; Jay Gould lea ling tho crowd.
