recommend it to the farmers OF Kansas and
other states as being first class separator in
every respect, and as possessed Of many very
valuable Improvements Of which other ma
chimes cannot boast. We considerit an indis-
nensable part Of the outfit for the successful Sc
curing of the great wheat crop OF this region,

A DREAM.
The Captain of the wreck and the pas
seuger looked at each other, exchanging
glances of intelligence and surprise, and
the former asked the latter, "Did you
dream that you wrote on this slate?"
"No, sir; not that remember"
"You speak of dreaming" said the
Captain Of the bark. "What was this
gentleman about, at noon, to-dsy?"
Captain" re- joined the other, "the
whole thing is most mysterious, and had
intended to speak to you about it as soon
as we got little quiet. This gentleman
| (pointing to the passcnger) being much
exhausted, fell into heavy sleep, OF
what seemed sleep, some time before
noon. After an hour or more he awoke.
and said to me: Captain, we shall be
relieved this very day. When l asked
him what reason he had for saying so, he
replied that he had dreamed that he was
on board bark, and that she was coming
to our rescue. He described her appear
ance and rig, and, to our utter astonish'
mcnt, when your vessel hove in sight she
corresponded exactly to his description o.
her. We had not thought much of what
he had said, yet still We hoped there
might be something in it, for drowning
men you know, will catch at straws. Az
it has turned out, | cannot doubt that il
was all arranged, in some incomprehensi
BILE way, by an over-ruling Providence, Sc
that we might be saved"
II got the impression that the bark
saw in my dream was going to rescue us,
said the passenger, "but how that impres
sion came cannot tell. Everything here
on board seems to me quite familiar

your vessel before. 1t is all apuzzle t'

1t is surprising how long it has Knocked
the world, and how much it is mocking
the world yet. 1t was not old Cognac or
new California Brandy, but wine from
the native vines of Ararat, that prostrated
the grand old preacher of righteousness,
and enacted scene in his house and left
blot on his name which time will never
wear out. 1t was wine from the glorious
clusters of Eshcol which prompted the
lewd boys of Gibeah to break into the
house of quiet old man in the dead of
night and violate the laws of hospitality
and decency to stranger. 1t led to an
awful fratricidal war. 1t was his own
domestic wine, and at his own "corn
shucking and sheep shearing" that poor
Nabal drank so freely, ran up the tide of
life SO high, that when it ebbed it ebbed
to flow no more. Vale Of Sibma and
thou classic Campania, how many Nabals,
chubby elfs, in the course of time, have
soaked themselves in your prime old
'Massic" and sank soon into oblivion
How many poets have written under the
coarse inspiration of your wines? And
We slopes and wales of Jura, that send
over the world nearly two billions gallons
wear, how much is the world indebted
to you for its festive glee, its social cheer,
but for its headaches and heart-aches as
well; too often for its cheer grown giddy
and its fcstivity grown boisterous.
Many great and good men, who have
written forsthc world and labored for the
world, have enjoyed their wine. Have
never condemned it. Many poet has
written sweet verses when lifted to q
higher plane of fancy b. it. But how
much better poetry might they have
written without it? Who caa tell? God
has not furnished lis Il mental machinery
that needs to be p:oppcd in its highest
efforts. II wine has lurked under the
names of great and good men, it has
added nothing to their greatness.
Subjects arc ever turning over as the
ages roll on and showing themselves in
some new light Scientific scrutiny never
said until lately that alcohol absorbs the
water Of the brain and slowly changes its
working capacity. Economists never
noticed till lately what world of money
mankind drink. Statisticians lately have
reduced to figures the loss to governments
in fortunes drank down in impaired vigor
of life, for which no adequate equivalent
is returned, to art, to internal improve
mcnt, to science, to the repression of
crime, an absolute leakage. Enjoyments
of other kind abound with less waste to
energy, health, life, usefulness. Thus it
mocks. Let lis think of it.

AN ARTIFICIAL MoTHER.-Mr. T. B.
Rogers, the famous poultry raiser at
Wethersfeld, has "sensed the precise
thing" and has invented what he calls
an artificial mother for the rearing OF
Young chickens. He estimates that at
least fifty per cent. of the chickens hatch,
ed are lost by suffering from cold, and
being stepped on by their mother, by
cats and other animals, and in various
other ways. He also finds that chickens
to be profitable should be Matched in the
winter. He has hatched three broods in
nine weeks with one hen-that is, he
takes away the chickens as soon as hatch
ed and places fresh eggs under the hen,
and in this way keeps her busy propaga'
ting chickens. Mr.. Rogers next move
was to get up some invention that would
take care of the chickens when Matched,
and he has constructed what he calls an
"artificial mother" This is box with
two compartments, and about three feet
long by two and half wide. In the rear
is lid covered with wool, which shuts
within three inches of the bottom; this
is cut off from the front part by strip
that can be raised on hinges. The front
is protected by lattice work, giving plen-
ty of air and light, and on the outside are
tin troughs in which gravel, food and
water are placed. The chickens can easi-
ly get their bills into these, and when
they have got their fill they can run un-
der the wool-covered lid, which is so soft
and comfortable that they imagine that
they are under the old hens wings. Mr..
Rogers had in one of these boxes yester-
day brood of twenty-one chickens, SIX
teen of which were Matched last Thurs.
day, and five on Sunday. They were all
as lively as crickets, and seemed perfect
" at ease. He took them to the poultry

ton. Mr.. Rogers deals exclusively in
light Brahmas, and he thinks they are
the best layers, as we'll as the most prof,
table fowls for the table.-Hargord

TAXING CHURCH PRoPERTY.-The
question of taxing churches is eliciting
considerable discussion. 1t seems to be
contrary to the policy of our laws, and
the spirit of our religion, to tax such edi-
fees needed as places of worship, and so
dedicated. But there is no reason and
no sentiment which should give immu-
nifty to property owned by churches and
held rs an investment, or rented for sccu-
lar purposes. Some of the religious So
cieties in New York own valuable blocks,
which are rented for all sorts of uses, in
Guiding the sale Of liquors. Surely there
is no reason or justice in exempting them
from axation.-FTnnnciak Chronicle.
