After soldier is sworn in, he gets his
uniform, and from that time for the first
two years draws $lS month pay. In
the third year he receives $14 month !;
in the fourth, $l5; and in the fifth $16
a month; but all above $13 is kept back,
80 that at the end of his service, if he
has not forfeited any Of his surplus, there
are $72 coming to him. It may be,
though, that he may have been locked
up too often; may have been disorderly,
or something of the sort, and then he
forfeits the amount. IT soldier re-en-

| Coming in from walk one day,
found in my path an empty nest which
the wind had cast down from some neal
tree. Something about it-or may be il
was a thought of the hopes and loves
which clustered around it so short time
before, of the tender lives which budded
and blossomed there--touched me 80 that
L took it tenderly up and walking on,
laid it where it would be safe from all
harm or molestation. AS I did so, my
thoughts went out to other nests which
are just as empty, or filled with sorrow
where once was joy and gladness. Into
these home-nests little ones come, and
are kindly nurtured, the little feet
guided with prayerful care through the
years Of infancy and childhood, through
youth, up to the time when child must
be child no longer, but leaving the old
roof-tree must try his strength in broader
fields.
How eagerly the father and mouher
watch the first attempts at flight! How
their love goes out after the child, seek
ing to be always help and shield to
him For little time all is we'll;
then strong temptations come, and, O
the pity OF it all |! all are yielded to, and
the one SO proudly watched sinks down,
down. One by one the fond hopes are
given up, little by little faith and
courage fail, and, O how sad and empty
the old house becomes Rocked wildly
by the winds Of affection, it soon falls by
the roadside. Is there no one to gather
it up and put it tenderly out of sight
No one now to I'll it anew? Yes, thank
God, there is One ready to help when
all earthly help fails; One who, with
outstretched hands and loving voice,
says, "Come unto Me and rest !; come
and I will give you strength"
Though through our Gins We fall, we
are never SO low but His love reaches
out to us with saving power. If we
turn to Him, He will save us, will give
us back the home so desolated here, and,
in better land, will help US to fill it |
with nobler, truer life. But God can
not do all. We must do our part
must grab the hand held out to us if we
would be saved by it. If we do this, and |
cling closely to him, whatever trials come
to us, all will be well, for His strength |
will then be ours, and by its might we
shall go steadily onward and upward

CosenE Reasons for u Grand Success.

Conspicuous among the highest examples of
success which the present century can show is
Hostetter's Stomach B: tiers. The record of its
triumphs over disease is to be traced in the
written acknowledgements of thousands wha
have experienced its benefcent effects, and
the evidence ofits popularityis to be found in
the vast aud growing demand for the article
in North and South America, Mexico, Guate.
mala, the West Indies, Australia and Europe.
The reasons for its unparalleled success are
cogent ones. The accumulated evidence of
nearly thirty years shows that it is a certain
remedy for malarial disease, as well as its
purest preventive; that it eradicates dyspep-
STA, constipation, liver complaint and ner-
vousness, counteracts a tendency to govt,
rheumatism, urinary and uterine disorders,
that it imparts vigor to the feeble, and cheers
the mind while it invigorates the body.

The Victory Of Faith.

That is very great scripture, "This
is the victory that overcometh the world,
even your faith" Too frequently we
read it wrong. 1 read it thus for many
years. I was wont to read it, "This is
the victory that evercometh the world,
even your fight" 1t is not fight, how
ever, which overcomes, but faith. TWAS
thus / discovered the real meaning of thu
scripture:
1t was one wintry day. The ground
was snow-covered. I was passing along
the street. Ny child, little girl, was
coasting with her sled. Some rude boys
seized her sled. She had been in a
tussle with them. She could do moth.
ing with the boys of herself; they were
too much for her. Just then she cav
me coming round the corner. Imme-
diately she left the boys, sled, every
thing, and ran to me. "Papa," said
she, ssI want my Sled" Then she was
quite sure she possessed it, because she
knew that | was mightier than the boys.
and could get it for her, and would.
That was the victory which overcame the
world of her childish faith--even her
faith. She put the whole matter in nv
hands, and by her faith in me was con-
queror.
Since then have read this scripture
as it stands. The victory that overcom-
eth is that of faith. Toward the tempta-
tions, toward the troubles, toward the

the suburban sees the cardinal priests
take their titles from ancient parish
churches, and the cardinal deacons from
fourteen of those churches, they repre-
senting the deacons who ministered in the
early church to the temporal wants OF
the people. They are generally en-
gagged in secular duties at The vati-
can. AS matter Of fact, the ma
jority Of the cardinal priests are of
episcopal rank, and, in the conclave,
the cardinals are all equal, and no one
OF them can be deprived of his right to
vote in an election for pope, even by
accommodation. AS at present con-
stituted, the college of cardinals, upon
which will rest the duty of electing the
new pope, numbers sixty three members.
Of these, forty are Italians, and twenty
three foreigners. After Italy, France,
which furnishes eight cardinals, is the
only nation represented by more than
three members in the sacred college.
Preceding the election, certain cere-
monies are observed, the frst of which
looks to the formal establishment of the
fact that the pope, indeed, is dead, Tnis
fact having been determined and pro-
claimed by the cardinal chamberlain,
that functionary, after making an inven-
tory of the effects of the late pope, and
placing seals upon the property, returns

Farm Notes.

THERE is no better preservation of egg
than linseed oil smeared over the shells
or immersing them in oil of lime.
THE services of novice upon a we'll.
ordered farm are worth less thannothing,
because he requires to be shown how to
do everything, which is more trouble
than doing it without such help. 1t is
customary that certain sum be paid as
an equivalent for the trouble of teaching
q novice in farming. Generally $500 a
year is charged, which covers board.
A CLEAN poultry.house is indispen-
sable, if the fowls are expected to be
healthy. 1t is small job to scrape,
sweep and dust the floor and remove the
droppings twice or three times a week
during feeding time. The droppings
should not be stored in the poultry
house, but in dry place, packed in bar
rels, and Kept for use in the spring.
OvER,FEEDING is waste of food, and
causes loss of flesh. Indigestion from
repletion stops growth, and gives trouble
to restore health and thrift. The art of
feeding isan important item of a farmers
knowledge, and should be studied with
care and practised, with patience and
close observation. The uee of weights
ana measures is not waste of time and
labor. There is much to be learned and
saved by them. Every feed-box should

quantity. A half-peck measure flour

FARM AND HOME.
i" Hog and Hominy" for the South

" Hog and Homny for the South.
In order for the people of the south te
become independent and prosperous, itlis
absolutely essential that they should
raise on their own farms their own
means of subsistence. This they may
easily do, since all that is necessary is
the will and small outlay of effort and
attention. Few families require more
than 1900 pounds of meat per annum,
and ten hogs, properly attended, will,
without doubt, net 1000 pounds. Can
not every farmer by commencing now,
contrive to have ten hogs to kill next
winter? '' Set your pegs" and persist
emily work up to them, is the sure way
to succeed. But you have no corn, and
shoats instead Of hogs, we imagine we
~ hear some OF our farmers exclaim, in
surly, respondent tone, sadly derogatory
to their pluck and manhood. The old
proverb that "where there is will there
is way" is literally true, conse
quently substitutes for corn may be
found, and shoats may be made. to grow
into large hogs. Put your hogs in your
horse lot and your surplus vegetables,
until your corn comes ON.
Raise more corn, peas, oats and pota-
toes, and less cotton. Raising cotton at
eight and ten cents will break the best
farmer in the land. Manure your land
with stable and cewpen manure and
cotton seed, and try to cause one acre to
yield as much as you usually take off of
three. Try it for once.
Oats are far cheaper as feed for horses
than corn, and do not materially interfere
with the working of the corn crop, conse-
quently every farmer should sow oats, par
ticularly if he Is scant of corn. German
millet is also profitable and easily
grown crop, and very handy as feed for
stock.
15 is plain to every man who has a
g]immering of sense, that raising cotton
to the neglect of breadstufa, has dragged
the south down to poverty. Will far
mers go on in this most ruinous policy?
We know it is said there are some men
too stupid to be instructed even by ex-
perience--that schoolmaster of FOOLS but
we trust the majority of farmers have
sense enough to quit system of hus-
bandry that is yearly impoverishing
them. Let every farmer curtail his cot~
ten crop, and 60 in for diversity of
crops--such as corn, oats, peas, po-
tatoes, etc.
We must live and practice the strictest ,
economy in order to become comfortable
and independent.

to farmers, will, if faithfully followed by =
them, be more beneficial to them than all :

Depth Of PIoughing.

The depth one should plough must
ever depend upon certain conditions, as
the character of the soil and the crops to
be grown; but other things being equal,
deep, fine. mellow soil is always to be
preferred to one that is thin and overly
ing a hard, unbreken subsoil. Eight
inches of well pulverized, rich, mellow,
top soil is pretty good standard to aim
for on most farms--quite as much as we
have manure for, but in order to reach
the eight inches, with common plough, I
have found great help in the steel sub
soil plough, without mould-board,
plough which simply loosens the under
soil without bringing it to the surface.
It can be drawn in old ground as easily
as common, large sized plough in sod
land. A hard, gavelly loan, previously
ploughed but four or five inches deep,
with an under stratum as hard SIS a road
bed, will never forget one good stirring
with one of these steel subsoil ploughs
In my own practice, I am going to plough
not less than eight honestly measured
inches in depth. To turn fat furrow
at this depth, the width should be from
fourteen to sixteen inches. Such plough.
ing gives ample room for the travel of the
team in the burrows; it give the material
in which the harrow or cultivator can
afterwards work without disturbing the
buried soil. Manure may be worked
into such soil more thoroughly, while
The land has a greater capacity for alb
sorbing aad retaining moisture against
period of drought. If ones land is
smooth and entirely free from stones,
rocks, or other distractions to the work
ing of the plough, and the burrows are
all turned completely bottom side up to
the depth of eight Or more inches, there
will be but little danger of hauling back
'he burrows by any kind of harrow in
common use; but as comparatively very
little land is pleughed in perfect man
ner, it often makes a great difference
what harrows we choose to follow the
plough in the work of preparing a good
iced bed for our crops A. W. Cheever.

ELECTING THE NEW POPE.

Immediately upon the conclusion of
the funeral ceremenies-that is, upon the
tenth day after the death of the pope
the conclave Of cardinals begins. Of late
years the conclave has assembled in the
vatican, and preparations have been
made for its reception in the vatican on
this occasion. The preparations are of a
thoreughgoing character, including the
building up of doors and windows, and
the establishment of a guard at the
single doorway left unwalled; for, until
a pope is selected, the members of the
conclave, with their attendants (styled
conclavists) are wholly cut off from COM
munication with the outside world.
Election may be by either of three
methods: By reclamation, when all
the cardinals, without previous consults-
ton, cry out at once the same name; by
compromise, when the power to elect is
delegated to committee, and by ballot.
The first method is regarded as the most
satisfactory, but has fallen into disuse
for several centuries; the second, having
been abused on number of occasions, is
not regarded favorbly, and, as conse-
quence the third is the accepted rule.
No names are put in nomination. but
each cardinal writes the name of. his
choice on q printed slip prepared for the
purpose, Disgusting his writing 50 that
his vote shall be anonymous. lie iden-
titles bis ballot, however, by numbering
it and by writing beneath the number
a scriptural motto. Motto and number
once adopted must be adhered to until
the election has been secured. The bal
lots are sealed and deposited in a chalice,
wheuce-the entire college having voted
they are removed and counted. A
two-thirds majority lin the present case
forty-two votes) is requisite to make
good the election. If this majority is
not secured at the first ballot the votes
cast Immediately are burned in the
presence of The voters and the second
ballot is in order. 1t is customary to
ballot twice day until a pope is elected,
but there is no positive law to this effect,
and greater number of ballots may be
taken. 1t should be noted that the
courts Of Spain, France aud Austria |
claim right to vote--a right that |
Austria intended to exercise against |
Plus 1X--upon the choice of the college |

condition of the see of Rome, it is
