Lime Kills Potato Bugs.

A correspondent writes to the New
England Farmer that he finds air
Stacked lime applied to the potato
ops will kill them. This is also
the experience OF a correspondent
OF the Mirror and Farmer, who
says: 1.-TWO years ago the Col
orado beetle attacked my po-
tato crop. After trying various things
without success, / stumbled on a
cask OF lime which had been air
Stacked. / commenced to dust ii on
the tops, and wherever it fell on the
slugs they turned black and soon
dropped of and died. L passed over
the field three times between hoeing
and blossoms time and found it not
only sure death to the Larvae, but q
material benefit to the crop. Last
year tried the same good result.
We read OF a man who placed 2OC
potato bugs in bottle and sprinkled
lime over them. Within an hour moi
one WIS alive. On the following day
he sprinkled lime over his potato
patch, and on the next morning
found tens OF thousands OF bugs lying
dead. The experiment is at least
worth trying. - american Rural

To The Four Winds Heaven Help
Themi

Five weeping children were lett
orphans the other day by the death
OF their mother, a widow who lived
on Prospect street. The father was
killed at one OF the depots about two
years ago, and since then the mother
has kept the family together by hard
days work. Lack Of food, exposure
and worry brought on an illness
which terminated fatally, and the
children huddled together In a cor
ner Of the room feeling awed and
frightened, but yet unable to realize
that death had made them waits.
When the remains had been sent
away to Potter's field dozen women
gathered and held whispering con-
versation.
"Pll take one OF the poor things,
though I've four Of my own" said
one OF tte women.

"Anl I'll take one."

Then there was the baby-a tod
ding boy, who had been rocked to
sleep every night Of his life, and
whose big blue eyes were full OF
tears as he shrank behind his sister
to escape observation. As none OF
the poor women seemed prepared to
take so young a child, a girl not over
10 years old, dressed a little better
than other children there, crept into

patted his white head, kissed him,

ran around the corner and returned
with her mother, who sanctioned all
she had said. "Come, hubby. you are
mine, nowl" called the girl, and
he laughed as she put her arms
around him and tried to lift him up.

Little Things.

Life and death, prosperity and ruin,
hang upon little things.
They are like the linch-pin to the
wheel, on which depends the safety
of the vehicle; they are like the rud-
der to the vast ship which 1t guides
like the slender nerves to the bulky
muscles.
They make up our lives. The self
experience Of every man will prove
this to him.
A single word will blast a reputa-
tion-a meditation OF tone will con-
vey ruinous insinuation-a passing
fancy will determine the occupation
OF life.
Every man who has risen to great
ness has done so by attention to
small things.
Large and powerful efforts are Of
ten needed, but they are only re-
CURED occasionally; but the most
powerful struggles will fail, II the way
to them be not paved by small things
and their efforts will be lost IL little
things are not made to follow and ale
them In their proper order.
This cannot be otherwise, for greai
things are only series of little ones
so closely compacted together thaI
they take the appearance Of. and, in
deed. become a whole, just as the

We do not see that tho people who
are raging about land grants and rail-
road monopolies are disposed to give
Secretary Schurz the credit he de-
serves for his recent decision against
railroad companies. Perhaps they
do not understand how he has thrown
eight millions of acres open to settle
ment, and how bravely he has stood
up for justice to the people. The
lands granted to the Union, Central
and Kansas Pacific and several Of
their branches were granted upon the
following condition, which Mr..
Schurz seems to have been the first
to find:
All lands granted by the section, which
shall not be sold or disposed of by the
company three years after the entire road
shall have been completed, shall be sub
ject to settlement and presumption like
other lands at price not exceeding $1.25
per acre, to be paid to such company.
These companies have been selling
their lands at from six to ten dollars
an acre, or holding them for such
prices. The provisions Of the grant
have never been enforced, and sew
eral times cases involving the ques-
ton have been dismissed by Secre-
tary Schurz's predecessors. He could
have done the same thing. but seeing
a clear duty before him he had the
courage to do 1t, and decided that all
these lands, amounting to twenty
eight million acres, were open to set
tiers at the government price, $1.25
per acre. Doubtless the Supreme
court will have to pass upon this, but
1t Is not easy to see how the decision
can be reversed. 1t will make great
difference to the Pacific roads, though
of course they receive whatever
money the government gets from
sales. The Northern Pacific is not
affected.-Indianapols Neaos.
