REVEALS.

Perhaps the first revival was that of
an account given US in the reign of
Joshua; again there was a remarkable
outpouring of the Lords spirit in the
dedication Of the Temple of Solomon;
and so down to the Pentecostal period.
the history of the church has made man
ifest that just as soon as the people put
themselves in a state of preparation, as
the disciples did in the PentecOstal sea-
son, they reap rich harvest of grace.
The word revival implies, of course, the
possession Of life; a gathering unto life
of those who have been dead in sin. 1t
isn't Gods dealing with us; it's our
dealing with God. God is always ready
to save souls. He is only waiting for
us to put ourselves in position to have
His Spirit poured into us. The Spirit
of God could convert 5000 souls to day
just as easy as it could convert one The
Lord will give US continuous outpouring
of His grace when the people are pre-.
pared to receive it. We want that ex-
pectancy on the part of the people that
God will bless the word of the preacher.
The need of an outpouring of Gods
Spirit at the present day cannot be over
estimated. Look at the vast machinery
of the Church, and yet how few come
up to the Lords solemn feast. Where
are the souls saved Is it not lament
able state of things? The churches
seem to be satisfied to run in the old
grooves. Is it not time that. there was
shaking among the dry bones? What
is to be done? Is there no pity in our
hearts for the multitudes dying in sin?
There are those who dislike revivals, be-
cause there is excitement about them.
There is plenty Of excitement in bust
ness, in politics, but if anybody begins
to be excited about religion he is called
hair-brained. Let there be excitement
let there be anything that will lift
men from sin to holiness, rescue them
from punishment and save them to hap.
piness. Another objection made to re
vivals is that they convert people sud
denly. People are always converted
suddenly. Conversion must be sudden
from the very nature of it. It's tn,
turning from death to life. A call t
prayer is implied in the text. The his
tory Of Gods church shows that every
great outpouring of the Lords Spiri
must be preceded by prayer Let u
realize this. If We are ever to be use
ful in saving souls we must have tn
spirit of prayer God wants to saw
souls in muititudes. but he waits for u

Haze Faith.


Have faith let each and all believe
God is no preacher to deceive - 4 rre
His texts all Natures tongues rehearse /;
His pulpit is the Universe.
He cheers us in the newborn cry.
When Love is blest and hope is high
He crowns us in the days of Youth,
When hearts exhult with glowing truth;
He warns us in the feeting breath.
just trembling between Life and Death
He filings shadow on the tomb.
But spreads halo round the gloom.
Have faith let each and all believe
Gods Wine of Grace we all receive.
He brims 1t Oh the wild flowers lip,
For baby mouths to kiss and sip;
He pours it on the sandy brink,
Where untaught men may kneel and
drink
He sheds 1t on the painless WAYS,
Where focks and birds yield lowing
praise.
He spreads it in the vineyard dew,
Where purple juices filter through
He gives it in the social bowl.
When honest men pledge soul to soul.
Have faith no matter what the creed,
SO It's the Fathers Word we read.
He will not tax the idiot one
With what is done or left nsdone.
His Mercy hastens to forgive
The SINNERS who repent and live :"
His sunshine warns the bad and good
The Worm and Man He giveth food:
He ruleth with wise control
The torrid Line and icy Pole
He wOrketh all things for the best,
Through Grief and Joy-through Toll
and Rest
Have faith the Maker will be just
He rides the sea /; He walks the dust.
Blame not the prayer to the Divine
Which may not be the same as thine
When Suffering wrings. endure and try
To quell despair and check the sigh.
If tender hands should gather round,
Be thankful that such hands are found.
Have faith let each and all receive
The Spirit Voice that says believe :"

How to Start Melons.

A correspondent of the Maine Farmer
says he raises MELONS as easily as he
does pumpkins and squashes, by TIE fol-
lowing method: II start the seed from
a hot bed, and as soon as the danger
from frost ispassed. transplant the young
plants to the hills where they are TO grow.
The ground to receive the plants is well
enriched and pulverized, and halt
dozen shovelfuls of old manure placed
in each hill-the hills being four feet
apart. Before transplanting, the earth
is hOed into mounds over the dressing,
some four or five inches higher than the
ground around the hills, and two or three
plants set on the Apex of each hill. II
there should be danger from late frosts
or bugs, four bricks set edgeways around
the plants and covered with glass will
afford them thrifty growth. The glass
should be removed as soon as the plants
are Of sufficient height to touch it, other
wise the tender leaves might scorch. By
planting on small mounds more of the
surface of the earth around the plants is
exposed to the warm rays ofthe sun, and
more rapid growth is made

Try This Way.

A beautiful and high-spirited horse
would never allow a shoe to be put on
his feet, or any person to handle his feet.
In attempting to shoe such horse, re-
Gently, he resisted all efforts. kicked
aside everything but an anvil, and came
near killing himself against that, and
finally was brought back to his stable
unshod. This defect was just on the
eve of consigning him to the plough,
where he might walk barefoot, when an
officer in our service, lately returned
from Mexico, took cord about the
size of a common BEDFORD, put it in the
mouth of the horse like a bit, and tied
it tight on the animals head, passing his
left ear under the string, not painfully
tight, but tight enough to keep the ear
down and the cord in place. This done
he patted the horse gently on the side
of the head and commanded him to
follow, and instantly he obeyed, perfectly
subdued, and as gentle and obedient as a
dog, suffering his feet to be lifted with
impunity, and acting in all respects like
an old stager.

ResuSeitatin. the Drowned.

A new mode of resuscitating drowned
persons and others suffering from as
phyxia, consists in placing the patient
ON his back with his arms extended. A
roll of clothing is then laid below the
false ribs SO as to throw their anterior
margin into prominence. The operator
then kneels astride the patient, placing
his hands 50 that the balls of the thumbs
rest upon the false ribs, while the fingers
falls naturally in the depressions between
the ribs on each side An assistant holds
the tongue of the patient, and the ope
rator, with his elbows firmly pressed
against his sides, throws his whole weight
forward by which the false ribs are
pressed upward and inward, producing
great motions of the diaphragm, and dis
placement of the contents of the lungs.
Suddenly raising his body, the operator
allows the false ribs to return to their
position, producing corresponding
movement in the Diaphragm and thrush
of air. BY keeping up rythmic move
ments of this kind, artificial respiration
is produced. Galary for May.

Cause Of Chich Bass.

A correspondent of the Indiana Farm
er says: In your last issue the question
is asked, allow are we to get rid of the
chinch bugsf" The same question is
asked IN the Prairie Farmer. With your
permission 1 will give my views, founded
on some years of experience: There
never was an effect without a producing
cause, and feel perfectly satisfied the
producing cause of chinch bugs in this
country was the introduction of Hunga-
rian grass. The first seen in my neigh
borbood was in piece sowed on my farm
twelve years ago. The next harvest fol-
lowing they were not only on my farm,
but on my neighbours farms, and l am
fully satisfied that they started from
that patch of Hungarian grass.-Some
may inquire for the cause, and 1 will
answer by asking this question What
is the cause of weevil and nudge in
wheat? am as well satisfied in my
mind as | am that | am living, that Hun
garian grass raising has brought and is
now keeping that most terrible of pests
to farmers in our country, and hope the
day is near at hand when the cry against
1t will be so great that a stop will be put
to its being raised. So far as feed, it is
of a doubtful character, for it has been
proven that it is unhealthy for old stock.
Now where has the chinch bug been most
destructive? The answer comes, from
the states where the grass is mostly raised,
viz: Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Kan
sas But the pest is spreading far and
wide, as the grass is being introduced into
all. or nearly all of the States. As farm
ers let us raise the grasses we know are
good, timothy, clover and bluegrass, and
drive Hungarian from the country, and
for one feel satisfied that after a while
we will get clear of chinch bugs. We
hope So.

Stock Raising in Kansas.

The Ellsworth Kansas Reporter boasts
that the short, dry winters in that por-
ton of the State, make it possible to fat
ten cattle on Hungarian grass or millet
as we'll as it can be done with corn furth-
er north, where the winters are longer
and wet. 1t gives the following statistics
in regard to stock feeding in that county
last winter: Mr. Planter wintered one
hundred and fifty head stock cattle and
lost none !; he fed hay for four weeks only.
Mr.. Cosyrove wintered eighty head on
the range without feeding anything, and
not one of them died. MIR. Young win
tered one hundred head, fed hay two
weeks and lost none. Mr.. Sparks win
tered fifty head without feeding, and lost
one old COW. Mr.. Masterson wintered
one hundred head, fed hay four days, lost
none. Mr.. Bell wintered seventy head
without feeding, and lost one only.
Mrs. Stump wintered thirty head, fed
hay six days and lost one. Mr.. Wisel
wintered seventy head without feeding
and lost none, Mr.. Howard out of two
hundred two and three year old steers,
lost none, but several calves died not
year old i; he fed occasionally during the
winter, and his whole herd looks splen
didly. Of the large herds wintered en-
tirely on the range, the loss was only two
per cent. Sheep have done still better.
Nj Fox wintered seven hundred head,
fed five times, and lost only seven, four
of which were killed by accident. Mr..
Hummell wintered two hundred head
without feeding and lost none. The
sheep generally throughout the county
are fat, and will shear more average
heeces. These statistics, which are au-
thentic, prove our assertions, and give
this country the banner for stock raising
possibilities The fires of last fall had
made the prairies as clean and smooth as
a croquet ground, and the pasturage for
the coming herds of Texas cattle will
surpass anything this summer that the
country has seen in its richness and
abundance"

required than in the spring. We are SO

light attire. that frequently our incli-
nation leads us to overstep the bounds of
prudence. Not until the end of May
hardly before the middle of June, will it
be safe to lay aside flannels next the per-
son. Indeed, children, aged people, and
invalids should wear thin flannel under
garments during even the heated season,
and even those in the most robust health
will find it to their advantage often dur
ing the summer to put on flannel during
parts of the day or on cold and rainy
days. Especially those living near the
sea-shore and in malarious districts need
to keep careful guard over themselves
and adjust their clothing to the rise and
fall of the mercury in the the thermOme-
ter, and to the changes in the direction
of the wind. The secret of good health
does not lie as some think in total disre-
gard to the demands of The body, in get
ting toughened to cold, hunger and
roughness. but in prompt, uniform, i'm
plicit obedience to the laws ofhygiene, es-
pecially in relation to diet, exercise,
sleep and clothing. So we will not be
in hurry to part with our warm wraps
and comfortable overcoats, but, taking
hints from nature, gradually enrobe our
relves in garments growing thinner and
lighter as the leaves of the trees deepen
from the first tender green of the opening
leaf bud to the rich, full luxuriance of
mid-June and the summer.-"Home In
