MOVEMENT TO UNITE ALL THE

night at the regular meeting of the board
Of directors of the Young Mems Christian
Association, there were present large
number of Sunday-school superintendents
and teachers, in response to the announce

general union of all the Christian
Sabbath-schools Of the city, after the
routine business of the directory, it was
stated that the orignators of the scheme
for the union looked only to an informal
organization that would bring the schools
together upon the common basis of the
Bible without regard to the tenets of any
particular denomination. A number OF
gentlemen spoke, heartily endorsing this
scheme, after which the president was
authorized to appoint committee on
organization and business, with instruc-

served as reservoirs, and the syS-
tenn of canals that enabled them
to command supplies of water
whenever required, the ruins of
which are still to be seen among
the wonderful monuments of the
skill and industry of this ancient

be the policy Of the Government
to make extraordinary eXertions
to maintain a permanent peace.
This cannot be accomplished by
weakening the military force of
the department. The greatest
safeguard for the continuance of
peace will be the maintenance of
a strong military force ready for

come. In addition, compli-
cations are arising with the Next

valuable, for this reason alone.

Irrigation.

We call the attention OF TIT
readers of the SENTINEL to thu
following article, copied from thu
New american Cyclopedio:
The watering of lands by cur
rents led through numerous chan
nels distributed over the surface;
also by temporarily flooding them
with water. The art is consider
ed one of the most ancient appli'
cations of science to agriculture
1t was practiced from time i'm.
memorial by the ancient Egypt:
ians and by the Assyrians and
Babylonians, and has ever con-
tinued of prime necessity in the
warm countries bordering the
Mediterranean. The plains OF
.Assyria and Babylonia were COW
cred with an immense system OF
canals, some of them hundreds OF
miles in leng IN, intended partly
for navigation and partly for ir-
rigation. Their remains to this
day constitute one of the most
prominent features in the anti
quities of those countries. The
Assyrians used machines for rails
ing water from the rivers, or from
the canals when it could not be
led into the fields through COM
mon conduits. They were gener-
ally obliged to have recourse to
this artificial mode of irrigation,
as the banks of the river and con-
sequently those of the canals were
high above the level of the water,
except during the spring, when
they are swollen by violent rains
or by the melting of the snow on
the mountains of Armenia. Their
mode for raising water was pro-
badly the same as that practlsed
by the present inhabitants on the
banks of the Tigris and Euphra-
ties. In the first place a high
bank which is never completely
deserted by the river, must be
chosen. A broad recess down to
the waters edge is then cut in it.
Above, on the edge Of this recess,
are fixed 3 or 4 upright poles, ac-
cording to the number of oxen to
be employed, united at the top by
rollers running on swivel, and
supported by a large framework of
boughs and grass, extending to-
some distance behind, and inten-
ed as a shelter from the sun dur
ing the hot days of summer.
Over each roller are passed two
ropes, the one being fastened to
the mouth, and the other to the
end of a sack, formed
out of an entire bullock skin.
These ropes are attached to oxen,
who throw all their weight upon
them by defending an inclined
plane cut into the ground behind
the apparatus. A trough formed
of wood and lined with bitumen,
ora shallow trench coated with
is constructed at the
bottom of the poles, and leads
to the canal running into
the field. When the sack is
drawn up to the roller, the OK
turns round at the bottom of the
plane, and the rope at
tached to the lower part of the

How TO Light IA Fire.

Many persons have often noticed the
extreme difficulty encountered III light
ing the fire in stove, especially in a
still, damp morning The stove at first
won't draw; even vigorous blowing"
will not suffice; and then, when it does
start, it is with sort Of explosion or out
ward rush of air which fills the room with
smoke and gas, oftentimes putting the
unpleasant fumes in the face of the opera
tor. The trouble is caused by the diff
Guilty encountered in overcoming the in
ertia of the long column of air in the
pipe or chimney, by the small column Of
air that can be forced through the inter
stices of wood and coal, at the bottom of
which the fire is kindled. All this may
be remedied by simply putting a few
shavings or bits of dry paper on the top
of the wood or coaL and first lighting
that; it Immediately bursts into blaze
because the air has perfectly free access to
it from all sides, the heated air forces its
way into the chimney, and establishes
there an upward current. The match can
then be applied to the klndling un-
der the fuel, which will readily
light, and if dry, burst into brisk
flame

sawdust will do, but is not so good. When
road dust or soil is used the more clay it
contains the better it will be as an absorb
ent, and the less in quantity will be need
ed. :
Now, having your barrels all ready, the
rest OF the operation will be simple and
easy All you have to do is to place a
stratum, say an inch or two, in the bot
tom Of the one empty barrel, and then
throw in the cleanings of the hen-house;
then another stratum, and another layer
of cleanings. The thinner each layer of
the two is, the more perfectly they will
become dih'used together in standing.
The precise quantity of each Is not very
essential-only you must have enough
absorbent to hold all the volatile parts of
the hen manure, of which you may usual
" Judge by the odor, which may he cor
rected by adding more of the absor )ent.
Proceed in this way with each successive
barrel Next spring your barrels will be
filled with very powerful and most val
liable manure.
You may add to its value by pounding
and cracking up fine all the refuse bones
you can find, by means Of a stone mason's
hammer or an old aXe-placing the bones
to be broken on solid fiat stone, and
encircling them with wide hoop to keep
them from flying off when struck.
Sprinkle the fragments OF bone among
the layers of manure, which will cut and
work them down. A part of the broken
bones may be left for the hens to eat with
their food, and these will be manufactured
in a more perfect manner into bone
guano
By little care and timely attention,
you will secure a supply of manure, the
value and quantity OF which will surprise
those who first make the trial. All you
will have to do in spring will be to pull.
verize and work over the mass, so as to be
evenly and finely applied.-Couatry Gen

To Manage Hen Manure.

Now THAT cold weather is approaching
and farmers shut up their hens more than
in warmer weather, a few hints on the
best way TO manufacture hen guano. or
compost, may be appropriate. The first
thing is to provide proper reservoirs for
the manure. Old barrels are Just the
thing, but strong goods-boNes will do.
They will soon decay and be useless, un.
less protected with oil or gas tar Coat
ing them inside and out with light crude
petroleum will fill the pores with the oil,
and make them as good as cedar or dura.

moist gas tar inside will be better The
number of these barrels must correspond
with the number of hens, there should be
one for every ten hens Then, if the
weather is dry enough before freezing up,
to secure a quantity of road dust, fill all
hut one with the road dust, which is the
very best absorbent YOU can get; and il
dry, the barrels may stand anywhere, an
