SUICIDE. - DIR. Holland has a
Topic" in Scribner's for May, on the
recent discussion of suicide, from which
we quote the closing paragraph:
If man is nothing but an animal, if
this life is all there is of existence, and
the question simply concerns the
amount of comfort to be got out of it
in this transient world, why, let him do
as he likes with himself and his friends;
but he who regards the present scene
as only the foreground of an infinite
spiritual feature. through which, if one
tread faithfully the prescribed passages
of pain as well pleasure, he shall find
himself in higher pathways, as con-
sequence, at the last we say he will
take life whether it be convenient or
announcement, and hold it as the gift of
God, inalienable by any reason of in
trinity or suffering, or hopeless disease,
or cost to other life though necessary
ministry. The doctrine of Professor
Newman and Mr.. Tollemache are I'M
christian doctrines. They carry us
back into barbarism-b back into the
darkness in which children killed pa
rents that became burden to them and
mothers strangled infants that could
only inherit their own sufferings. 1t is
an Infamous criticism of the divine wis.,
dom, an insult to Providence, an as
sault upon the safeguards of society,
and a reflection upon human nature and
human destiny, from which all Christian
manhood recoils as from the touch of a
serpent.

SEWING ON BUTToNs.-It is bad
enough, says the Danbury Ne,Os, to see
bachelor sew on button, but he is
the embodiment of grace alongside of a
married man. Necessity has compel
led experience in the case of the for
mer, but the latter has always depended
upon some one else for this service, and
fortunately for the sake of society, it is
rarely he is obliged to resort to the
needle himself. Sometimes the patient
wife scalds her right hand, or runs a
silver under the nail of the index finger
of that hand, and it is then that the
man clutches the needle around the
neck, and forgetting to tie knot in
the thread commences to put on the
button. It is always in the morning,
and from five to twenty minutes after
he is expected to be down street. He
lays the button exactly on the site of
its predecessor, and pushes the needle
through one eye, and carefully draws
the thread after leaving about three
inches of it sticking up for lee way.
He says to himself, "Well, if women
don't have the easiest time l ever see!
Then he comes back the other way, and
gets the needle through the cloth well
enough, and lays himself out to find the
eye, but in spite of great deal of pa
tient jabbing. the needle point persists in
bucking against the solid parts of the
button, and finally when he loses pa
tience, his finger catches the thread,
and that three inches he had left to
hold the button slips throug h the eye in
twinkling, and the button rolls leisure
ly across the floor. He picks it up
without a single remark, out of respect
for his children, and makes another at
tempt to fasten it. This time, when
coming back with the needle, he keeps
both the thread and the button from
slipping by covering them with his
thumb, and it is out of regard for that
part of him that he feels around for the
eye in a very careful and judicious man
ner; but eventually losing his philoso-
ply as the search becomes more and
more hopeless, he falls to a jabbing
about in a loose and savage manner,
and it is just then the needle finds the
opening, and comes up through the but
ton and part way through his thumb
with a celebrity that no human ingenuity
can guard against. Then he lays down
the things, with few familiar quota
tons, and presses the injured hand be-
tween his knees, and then holds it
under the other arm, and finally jams it
into his mouth, and all the while he
Frances about the floor, and calls upon
heaven and earth to witness that there
has never been anything like it since
the world was created, and bowls, and
whistles, and means, and sobs. After
a while he Gains down, and puts on his
pants, and fastens them together with a
stick, and goes to his business changed
man.

How 10 Keep Winter Apples.

The following excellent suggestions
are offered by the Vermont Fdrnler i:
The way that most farmers save
their winter apples is to hole them up,
like potatoes, or pile them up in a
cave or cellar. BY this method you
not only lose much valuable time, but
lose very many apples; and what J ou
do keep over winter are in bad con
dition. Apples may be kept in bar
rels that are quite open but the best
and cheapest way is TO keep them in
crates or boxes made in the following
manner: The ends or head pieces
should be ten or twelve inches wide
by fifteen or eighteen long. They can
be sawed or split. Nail your boards
en- The bottom and sides, leaving
places for ventilation. Have your
boards all the same length-about
three feet. "When you gather your
apples from the trees put them in
these boxes (be careful not to bruise
ihem) and lay the boxes on each other
in your apple house. Two men will
handle these boxes with ease. You
can look your apples over in these
boxes at any time with but little Ia
Dor. When you are ready to ship,
Just nail board over the top and you
are ready. In this way You get your
apples to market in good condition and
handle them but once. Keep your
house as cold as possible at all times
without freezlng.'

Aufumn BIOHinp.

In all heavy clay soils, and heavy
clay loams, autumn plowing is of great
advantage. The winter frost is a me
chanical pulverizer and disintegrator
of such soils, if we will but put them
in proper condition to be acted upon.
Potash is one of the elements of such
soils, and with them one of the chiei
values for the small grain. The min
eral is found under two conditions ::
one fixed and the other free. The free
potash is slowly dissolved in water
il thus unites with sand to form the
coating of the straw. In the other
conditions mentioned it is fixed, and
in that is insoluble in water, and like
humus, is unfit for food of plants To
prepare the fixed potash in the soil
that is, to degenerate tive must ex
nose 10 air, moisture and heat; hence.
we must pulyerize the soil by the
winter frost, to admit of these condi-
tions Autumn blowing is supposed
to kill many insects; that it does thl'
to some extent is doubtless true, but
we apprehend, less than it has credi
for. 1t can be done at o time wher
the teams are. strong, the weathe
cool. and SO much of the spring worl
is out of the way; while for spring
wheat and barley it is almost indisPen
sabIe Pr1irie FdTzuer.

Uses of Waste Paper.

Waste paper can be made to per-
form variety of service in household
economy. Any surface like a stove
or CRATE requiring backing can be
kept bright for long tine by being
rubbed daily with waste paper. Win
dows, or any glass surface that has
been thoroughly washed, can be wiped
and polished with pieces of soft news
paper. Tin that has been secured,
or silver that has been rubbed, can be
frightened in the same way. Several
thicknesses of newspaper laid under
carpets are an economical substitute
for the material found at the carpet
stores for the tame purpose. House
plants covered by newspapers will ie-
sist the frost ON cold nights, and out
door plants can be protected in the
same way. Newspapers placed be
tween blankets have the effect of ad-
ditiOnal bedding. These are only q
few OF the uses OF waste paper that
could easily be enumerated. We re-
commend it as household agent, be.
cause the supply is unlimited, and be-
cause, after having done duty once, it
can be still available for use as kind
ling, or TO lie sold to the dealers in the
article.

Dead Shot for Insects.

Strong alum water is a sure death
to bugs OF any description. Take two
pounds OF pulyerized or OF crystal
alum, and dissolve in three quarts o!
boiling water, allowing it to remain
over the fire until thoroughly dissolv
ed. Apply, while hot, with bush, or
what is better, use a syringe to force
the liquid into the cracks of the walls
or bedsteads. The pulverized alum
is worth about SO cents a pound, and
that in crystal form Is to 2O-a cheap
remedy. The latter requires a little
longer time to dissolve. OF course an
experiment to verify the claim above
made, can be made by employing
mere fraction of the qualities above
named. A less perfect cure for in
sect pests is to scatter the powdered
alum freely in places where they abide.
Powdered borax, scattered thinly
where Croton bugs and cockroaches
travel or abide, will expel them al
once. Il is a sure expulsion for the
Croton insect. Almost all strong sa-
line solutions are efficacious in the dis
truction of these household pests,
which are both destructive and annoy
ing, and the mixture of alum or any
other material need not necessarily be
hot

Ashes in the Orchard.

ID. w. Kaufman, of Des Moines
Iowa, writes to the LOaDG Homestead
that ashes are worth one dollar per
bushel to put about fruit trees, and
that he would not sell his ashes at that
price and do without their use in the
orchard. He has used ashes about
his fruit trees for fifteen years, and
during that time has not seen a borer
where ashes were used. The borer is
terrible pest to the fruit grower, and
if all other impediments to successful
growing were as easily overcome and
controlled as the borer then fruit-grow-
ing would be very successfully prac-
ticed.
AT recent meeting of the Fruit
Growers Association of Ontario, Blr.
Noodle stated that he had been in the
habit of using unleached ashes as
for his fruit trees, and that he
values them more highly for this pur
pose than barn yard manure. If our
farmers knew the value OF wood ashes
for the garden, aud orchard and farm,
they would not sell them fer a few
cents per bushel. The ashes that they
barter for a few pounds of soap would,
if fapplied to the soil, so increase their
crops of fruit and grain as to yield
.en times the value they now get for
hem. Canada Farmer.

SHHing Seeds.

One reason why SO many seeds saw
cd from ones own garden fail to grow,
is, they are'not thoroughly dried be-
fore being put away. They may look
dry and feel dry on the outside, and
yet not be so; and if they are laid
away damp, they mildew and they
won't grow. We all know how an
noyiDg it is to be obliged to replant
the garden after it is time the seeds
are up Always cave your seeds from
the largest and incest vegetables, and
you will raise better ones than you
would if you had saved them just as
it happens. Have paper bags made to
keep your seeds in. Write the name
of each kind of seed, and date at
which time 1t was gathered, plainly On
the bag, and then there can be no mis-
take. When the bags arc filed, put
them away 10 box where they will
keep dry, and where the mice cannot
reach them. You will thus have laid
laid up a store for future USE Young
Folks Rural.

A Few Words about Horses.

Hay and cats make the beet feed
or horses that are obliged 10 wort
hard and regularly. 1t the hay iJ Gu
iae, and the oats bruised Cr ground,
The whole mixed and moistened, th,
horse will eat his ratIons quicker, di
gest them sooner, and thus have more
time for resting and renewing his
power for labor. Farmers horses that
work but little during winter time
may be kept cheap by cutting end
mixing straw and hay in equal quanti
ties and adding a ration OF steam
ed potatoes or raw carrots. Colts
should be fed quite literally on good
hay bright clover is best and bruised
oats; give them a roOmy box-stall in
stormy weather, and during nights.
Litter freely, and do not let the ma
nure accumulate under them. Saw
dust or spent tan makes good and
convenient bedding; in cities and vii
lagos they are often cheaper than
straw. Groom horses well, and let
them have exercise every day; a run |
in the yard Is excellent. See that the
stable floor over Easements are sound |
and strong. Arrange the feeding
racks so that the dust and hay seed
will not fall into the horses names or
eyes; some horsemen build their man
gers too high, thus forcing the animal
TO take an unnatural and painful posi- |
ton when eating. Farm horses that |
are not worked should have their
shoes taken off, and those that are
driven on the the road should be kept |
well shod.

Rural New Yorker who are interested
in flowers. After setting them out l
spread fine, decayed horse manure to

the surface OF the bed cannot be seen
1t is, in fact, perfect swamp of gera-
