GRASS FARMs.-Grass makes but
comparatively small draft on the
more costly elements of fertility in
the soil. 1t is, although bulky, read
lily saleable in the larger towns and
cities at very remuneratlve rates.
1t is crop that requires the least
labor Of any to harvest, and all the
work can be done by machinery
There are many farmers who might
with positive advantage let their
field go to grass. With occasional
applications of lime, superphos-
phate, guano, or some of the COM
mercial potash salts, with some
fresh seed, and thorough narrowing
every few years, and rolling each
spring, grass can be successfully
and perpetually grown on suitable
lands. Those with clay soil and in
clined to be damp are especially fit
ted for this use. There are fields
which have been in grass for centu-
rias, of which the turf is wondrous
to behold, and from which large
crops have been annually removed;
Snd if they exist, why may not their
number be extended?

In selecting eggs for Matching all
monstrosities should be avoided, as
they will not hatch. The same hen
will sometimes lay very large egg,
and at another time a very small
one. They will serve well to eat,
but not for Matching. What is want
ed is eggs Of the average size and
appearance peculiar to the variety
from which you breed-nothing else.
Very long, very short, or very
rough eggs should be avoided
Time will be saved, too, by not try
ing to select eggs which will bring
either cocks or hens, as the art OF
telling the sex of an egg by its shape
or color has not yet been discover
ed. This advice of course is for
the storage breedcr-the tanciers
and ameteurs may experiment as
much as they please, as they can
better afford Country Gentle

Gold Winters.

In the year 1852, we are told, the ice in
the Black Sea was eight feet thick In
1923, the Mediterranean was entirely frozen.
In 1405, Tamerlane made an excursion
into China, and lost his men, horses and
camels by the excessive cold. In 1920,
Paris was depopulated from the same cause,
and animals fed on corpses in the streets
In 1869, IN France and Germany, wine was
frozen so hard, that it was cut in blocks,
and sold by weight, and in 1859 mass could
not be said in certain provinces, because
the wine could not be kept in fluid state
In 1875, in Chinese Tartary, the thermom-
eter fell to 81 degrees below zero-Fahren-
heit Since 1888, a year of intense cold,
the mercury has never fallen so low as in
this Winter of 1878.
All this goes to show that the tempera-
ture OF those warm Eastern countries is not,
as some suppose, gradually getting lower
with the progress of time but that the cold
is intermittent, and pays its visits at wide
intervals.

She appeared to be quarelling with some
one. She swore the most horrid oaths, tell.
ing her silent companion that he had de.
ceived hcr; that he had not given her hall
the gold that he had promised, and that
she would nevergo with him; but her trade
did not last long, for in an instant the
lights were extinguished, and howl
like that of a wolf rang through the air.
Then came crash, as if all the windows
OF the house were broken; then followed
a prolonged peal Of unearthly laughter,
which appeared to the listener to be over
his head in the air, and then all was still.
The man ran home half frightened to
death. Early next morning he, together
with several Others, went to Mays house,
and found her doors all securely locked
They knocked and called aloud for admis-
sion, but no response come. All was still
and silent as the grave. They now forced
the door and entered the house. They
went up stairs TO Mag's sleeping apart

A single drop of blood glistened on the

of her, and as her body was never found it

bors that the master she had served so long
had called and carried her away from her
mundane home to warmer climate.

How To Get Along.

Do not stop to tell stories in business
hours.
If you have place ofbusiness, he found
there when wanted.
No man can get rich by sitting round
stores and saloons.
"Never fool" in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, liberal
ity, and promptness.
Do not NEEDLE with business you know
nothing of.
Never buy an article you don't need, sim
ply because it is cheap, and the man who
sells it will take it out in trade,
Trade in money,
Strive to avoid hard words and person
alities.
Do not kick every stone in tho path
More miles can be made in day in going
steadily on than by stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word as his
bond.
Aid, but never beg.
Help Others when you can, but never
give what you can't afford to, simply be-
cause it is fashionable.
Learn to say mo-" No necessity of
swapping it out dog fashion, but say it firm
ly and respectfully.
Have but few confdants; the fewer the
better.
Use your own brains rather than those
of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
BE vigilant
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.
Readers cut this out, and if there be
folly in the argument, let us know.

EXCITING EvENT.-We noticed on Friday
morning the escape of tiger belonging to
Forepaugh's Menagerie, and the excite
ment it caused, merely to commend the
brave act of police officer. The ship
Sparta recently arrived at New York with
four Asiatic elephants, n horned horse,
three black tigers, mongoose, black Su-
matran rhinoceros and other rare animals,
and many curious birds The rhinoceros
had Just been landed with difficulty, when
plank in the bottom of the tigers cage
broke, and one of the beasts fell through.
An exciting scene then took place. The
elephants, who were standing quietly in
the street. were seized with frenzy, and
began a stampede. Chains were suapt
asunder as ofmere threads and the animals
moved away at the utmost speed. The til
ger in the meanwhile had fastened on a
horse standing in the street, had killed
him, and was growing over its repast.
Policeman Monroe then walked quietly up
to the beast and killed it by shot in a
vital part from his revolver. 1t was a
brave act, and deserves a passing mention.

4 Plea for the Birds.

I Baron Won Tschudi, the well known
Swiss naturalist says Without birds, sue
! cessful agriculture is impossible. They
annihilate, in few months, a greater mum
Der ofdestructive insects than human hands
can accomplish in the same number ofyears.
Among the most useful birds for this pur-
pose may be classed the swallow, wren,
robin redbreast, sparrow and finch
lschudl tested titmouse upon rose-bushes
OF his neighbor, and rid the same in a few
hours of innumerable lice. A robin red
breast killed in the neighborhood of
eight hundred flies in an hour. A pair
OF night swallows destroyed in fifteen min
utes an immense swarm of gnats. A pair
OF wrens flew thirty-six times in an hour,
with insects in their bills, to their nests
lie considered the sparrow very important ;
a pair of them, in a single day, carried
three hundred worms or caterpillars to their
nests-certainly good compensation for
few cherries which they pluck from the
trees. The generality of small birds carry
to their young ones, during the feeding
period, nothing but insects, worms, snails,
spiders, etc. A farmer Indignantly DESTROYS
robin because he has caught him eating
a cherry, and thinks he has done mankind
service in so doing but let him take o
moment to open the crop of the bird and
he will find it full of worms. In some in
stances 200 grubs and worms have been
found in the gizzard of single bird. An
oriole shot in field ofwheat had 200 wee
wills in its crop. A pair of orioles (parent
birds) destroyed 1000 caterpillars in a day.
The commissioners appointed by the French
Government have reported with an accura-
cy characteristics of French legislation. 1t
has, been decided that by no agency save
be kept down. A certain insect was found
to lay 1000 eggs, but tit-mouse was found
to eat 100000 fthese eggs in year. A
swallow devours about $50 insects a day,
eggs and all. A house sparrow's nest in
the city of Paris was found to contain 700
pairs ofthe upper wings Of cock chafers,
tho of course, in such place food of other
kind was procurable in abundance. The
blue bird, in some respects, reminds one of
the English robin redbreast, though as an
insect destroyer it surpasses the English
bird. Its food consists of all insects, espe.
cially the Larvae of the codling moth, and
canker worms and caterpillars of every
description are quickly destroyed. The
birds arrive in time to destroy the female
moth, as it ascends the tree in early spring
to deposit its eggs.

"CHARGE IRA simple little sentence
is this to be sure, and yet it may be con.
sidered one of the most insidious enemies
with which people have to deal. 1t is very
pleasant to have all the little commodities
offered for sale in the market, and it is
sometimes hard to deny ones self of the
same when they can be obtained by Just
ordering them and saying "charge it,"
But the habit of getting articles, however
small the expense may be, without paying
for them keeps ones funds in low state
most ofthe time. 81 have not the money
to-day, but l should like the article very
much, says young man who, happening
into store, sees something which strikes
his fancy. Never mind" says the gentle
manly clerk, "you are good for it." "Well,
will take it and you may charge it,"
And so it is that little accounts are opened
at one place and another, till the young
man is surprised ut his liabilities; which,
though small in detail are sufficiently large
in the aggregate to reduce his cash materi-
ally when settling day comes. In many
instances, if the cash was required the
purchase would not be made, even had the
person the money by him but to some, get
ting an article charged does not seem like
parting with an equivalent. Still, when
payday comes, as it always does, his illu-
sion vanishes, and feeling is experienced
OF parting with money and receiving moth.

THE THREE BELLS. 81

Beneath the low-hung night cloud
That raked her splntering mast
The good ship settled slowly,
The cruel leak gained fast.
Over the awful ocean
Her signal gun pealed out,
Dear God was that Thy answer
From the horror round abouty
A voice came down the wild wind
"Ilo ship ahoy" its cry;
''Our stout Three Bells of Glasgow
Shall stand till daylight by ~
Hour after hour crept slowly,
Yet on the heavy swells
Tossed up and down the ship-lights
The lights of the Three Bells
And ship to ship made signals.
Man answered back to man.
While oft to cheer and hearten,
The Three Bells nearer ran:
And the captain from the traffrail
Sent down his hopeful cry,
Take heart Hold on !" he shouted,
1.-The Three Bells shall stand by ~
All night across the waters
The tossing lights shone clear:
All night from recling tatfrail
The Three Bells sent her cheer.
And when the dreary watches
OF storm and darkness passed,
Just as the wreck lurched under,
All souls were saved at last.
Sail on, Three Bells, forever,
In grateful memory sail,
Ring on, Three Bells of rescue
Above the wave and gale!
As then in night and tempest,
hear the Masters cry,
And, tossing through the darkness,
The lights of God draw nigh.
