was not allowed to enter the earthly

Elijah, came down from the heaven

on the Mount of TRANSPORTATION.
The one had left his body on earth.

and if so, he was no better off than
Moses, though he had his body, and
though he had never died at all.
Asleep in the grave. Away with
such nonsense. Gods word means
what it. says-departed spirits all
live unto God and that is life in re-
aEty, life in its intensest mode. The
Apostle Paul knew this, for he had
been up to Paradise, and, having
seen the bliss of spirits there, he
wished to be amongst them, for he
said: @'Te me to live is Christ, but
to die is gain" But to gain what
Surely there was nothing to gain by
passing away into Inconsistencies.
TO live was to be happy and useful,
and this was good thing; but to
die was better still, for it was to re-
alize higher life, and enjoy state
of great blessedness. And when
the time of the great apostles de
parture was at hand, his words
were: "Henceforth there is laid
up for me crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous Judge,
shall give me at that day" Hence
forth--aS soon as absent from the
body he would be present with the
Lord.
When st. John beheld myriads of
happy spirits in heaven, who made
all heaven ring with halleluiah, he,
overpoweyed with the sight, fell
down TO worship before the feet of
the angel which Showed him these
things. Then said the angel unto
him: "Sce thou do it not, for | am

A Bad Claim.

4 curious discovery has Just been
made Mt Abort, near Paris. Some bows
were turning over the heaps of rubbish
shot on piece of waste ground, when
one Of them brought to light number
of sealed packets which had been bur
led beneath the surface. About a
hundred of these parcels were found,
each containing what were apparently
Bank of France notes of 25f. each The
boys carried them home to their
parents, but ON their way sold several
for fifty centimes each, one man buying
four for franc. This soon came to
the ears of the police, who commenced
by recovering the treasure from the
holders of it. Two men who had pur-
chased some of the notes were arrested.
They had succeeded in changing one at
a booksellers and one at wine shop,
and when taken had just treated them
selves to a sumptuous breakfast from
the profits of their financial operation.
The paper was found to be forged, but
an excellent imitation. All bore date
of the It'll November, 1870. and had no
doubt been concealed there by parties
fearing detection. The police con-
tinued the search and found other
packets, the total representing sum of
100000 francs. Each bundle was con
tanned in an envelope of yellow paper,
and sealed with red wax. Some inhab-
itants of Abort remember seeing about
two months back, two well dressed
men at the spot, one appearing to turn
over the ground while the other kept
watch. The whole of this spurious
paper has been taken possession of by
the Bank of France. A rather comical
incident followed the discovery. The
proprietor of the ground, who resides
in Paris, hearing that the treasure had
been found there, FASTENED to put in a
claim for half of it, to which he would
be entitled by article III of the Civil
Code, and was previously disappointed
on finding that all was worthless.

My ground is clayey, and will grow
large berries and runners for plants at

for me to clip off the runners when the
plants are bearing fruit. AS early in

standing in the path, taking care of the
plants and gathering the fruit. If mar

ton of the land devoted to paths. The
plants | set are of the previous years

ing whitish roots older plants have

of plants lengthwise of the bed; the
plants two feet distant from each other
in the rows; the outside rows / set
eighteen inches in from the line of the
path, and the plants in the two rows
are set opposite each other, so that the
plants in these two rows are two feet
distant from each other each way. The
plants in the middle roware set opposite
to the centre of the spaces in the out
side rows. In taking care of the plants
the first season, train some of the run
ners TO the places where they are
wanted, and pin them down with wire
hook at the time they are taking root,
in order that the bed shall be equally
covered with plants. In the latter part
of the season, when the beds become
covered with plants, clip off the run
ncrs in order to strengthen the growth
Of the plants on the bed. The wire
pins spoken of are made of bonnet wire
size, about four inches in length, one
end bent like the head of hair-pin.
Pins with hook, made from a twig Of
a tree, will answer the same purpose.

dispense with the middle row of plants
in the bed, so as to not have the bed
too much overrun with plants. -Coun-

How TO Dress The Country Gen
tleman asks What is it to be dressed
properly? There is a philosophy and
propriety in this as in anything else.
First, We should not dress either too
cold or too warm nor should our at
tire be to- heavy, too loose, or too
tight-fitting it should not be i'll fitting !;
1t should not be hashy, affected, or
above our means, it should not be odd
the aim should be todress so as MOTTO
attract attention, unless for the appro-
priateness of the apparel. This ex-
cludes pride and the appearance of
show, and pTesumes the mind has that
to entertain it which is superior to the
mere thought of clothes. Pitiful is
that person who has no higheraim than
the mere adornment of the body. We
are to educate ourselves in this as in
other things, not as mere fashion may
dictate, or this or that one suggest, but
as the reasonable requirements of the
case may justify. Philosophy (good
sense) must be applied, so that a man
may wear his coat as the quadruped
wears his, naturally, gracefully and for
the service and protection it affords
him. So lady may initiate a bird if
she is bird-like, even it's flashing
plumage, or the more simple beauty of
the flowers; but let it be, as in the case
of the flowers, the birds and the quad
ruped's, without ostentation.

Crime in Belginm.

The experiences of Belgium seem to
continue to he favorable the abolition
of capital punishment. Forty years
ago, for period of five years, 1880 to
1874 inclusive, capital punishment was
practically, although not by statute,
abolished IN Belgium, and no execution
took place during that time. But in
the next five years, ending 1889, four
executions were permitted TO take place.
But SO far from this proving means OF
increasing public security, it was found
that the number of murders had i'm
creased nearly fifty per cent in the sec
ond period as compared with the first.
Since this experiment Belgium has
almost entirely relinquished the infic-
ton Of capital punishment, and in
letter addressed recently 10 the Secre-
tary of the London Howard Association,
MIR. Nisschera, member of the Belgian
Government remarks: "The COM
mission Of grave crimes is every
Nhere diminishing in Belgium, and it
rs n noteworthy circumstance that for
nearly eleven years no execution has
taken place in this country"

l will give n plan by which / have
succeeded best, after nine years exper-
imenting in different ways and modes
of culture. First, prepare the ground
by ploughing and narrowing until it is
well pulverlzed to the depth of ten
inches; lay off the rows three and one
half feet apart, running twice in a row,
with turn-plow; cut the potatoes to
one eye on a piece, drop them from
twelve to fifteen inches apart in the
row; I'LL the row nearly level with the
surface by putting in light manure !;
well rotted chip manure, forest leaves,
etc, is better than fresh stable manure.
Throw two burrows on the row with one
horse turn-plow do not cover too deep.
soil the depth of two inches on the
manure will be sufficient.
When the potato sprouts begin to
appear, throw two burrows on them,
covering the first with fresh soil from
one and half to two inches deep, in a
few days the sprouts will be up nice
and clean of weeds and grass, and will
be easily managed. When the grass
and weeds begin to appear. or the
ground needs stirring take the turn
pillow, run as close TO the potatoes as
you can without tearing them up or
making them fall down (bar next to the
row, then all the grass and weeds can
be got away with but little work with
the hoe. pillow out the middIes with
tongue pillow. After eight or ten days
have elapsed, and the vines are almost
high enough to begin TO fall down, take
tongue pillow, run each side of the row
as close and as deep as you can, then
split the middles with turn-plow, lap
ping the dirt around the vines, taking
care not to cover them mp. Go out Of
the patch, and don't venture into it any
more until you see the vines begin to
die. When they are dead, dig your
potatoes. which will be large, well ma
tured, uniform, and good to eat. BE
careful not to let the sun burn them; it
makes them rot.
BE sure that your ground is dry
enough TO work well when you go in for
that purpose. II is not necessary that
the ground be naturally very rich.
