To live simply, to master and control
our expenditure, is a sore need in all class
es. The influences which surround Us,
the habits which we fall into as second
nature, all sway us in the same direction.
Every family and every class seems to have
caught hold of the skirts of the one above
it, and to be desperately holding on.
Well, as Mr.. Goodwin Smith says, the best
thing they can do is to let go-the only
thing, indeed, which will give themselves
any comfort, or make their lives of real
use in their generation. The moment
they will do so, and begin resolutely to
live without regard to what their neigh
Dor on the right spends on carriages, or
their neighbor on the left on upholstery,
they will find themselves rich for all good
purposes. From that moment it can no
longer be said of us with truth, that we
dare not trust our wits to make our hous-
es pleasant to our friends, and so we buy
ice-creams And this most needed Of all
reforms is just the one which every soul
of us can carry through for himself or
herself We cannot sweep our whole
streets. No doubt But every one of us
can sweep our own doorstep, and if he
will do it quietly and regularly, anon his
right hand neighbors follow, and before
long the whole street is swept. And in
this way, and by this means, can almost
all these social tangles which we have
been CHANGING at casually, this evening,
be set right. Simple living To it even
the great household question, at once the
most ridiculous and the most harassing
of social troubles, will in the end yield,
will begin at once to look not wholly in

good coming time which he goes on to
draw may prove true for us also. When
ever the sound OF the new gospel which
is TO win the nations back to the ancient
and noble ways is heard in the land, it is
fair to expect that it will not find her ears
wholly closed; and that when the altar
of duty is again set up by her employers,
she will lay on it attractive beefsteaks,

soup, display remarkable fertility in
sweets, an extreme fondness for washing,

all the literati and ruling classes of China,
every one expected. Few, indeed, were
sanguine enough TO believe that the
Chinese Government could be induced to
yield the point without resort TO arms.
The question, however. had to be met.
The foreign Ministers fully recognized
that their position was false one. They
had official notice that the Regency was
ended and that the Emperor occupied the
throne. as5aj s.sA'8A stl agl4
A sense of national honor and their own
selfrespect made it obligatory upon them
to at least demand an official audience

Accordingly the American, English,

joined in request to the Emperor, TO

Value Of Poultry Manure.

From actual experiment it has been
found that the droppings from four Brah
mas for one night weighed in one case
exactly fb and in another more than
three fourths of pounde an average Of
nearly four ounces for each bird. Bv
drying. this was reduced to not quite IL
ounces. Other breeds make less; but
allowing one ounce per bird daily of dry
dung, fifty fowls will make in their roost-
ing house alone, ten hundred weight per
annum of the best manure in the world.
Hence fifty fowls will make more than
enough manure for one acre of land,
seven hundred weight of guano being
the usual quantity applied per acre, and
poultry manure being even richer than
guano in ammonia and fertilizing salts
No other stock will give an equal return
in this way and these figures demand
careful attention from the large farmer.
The manure, before using, should be
mixed with twice its bulk of earth, and
then allowed to stand in heap, covered
with a few inches of earth till decom-
posed throughout, when it makes the
very best manure which can be had.
