Top-Drcssed Grain.

My first experience in top-dressing
grain was with Spring wheat, many
years since. The manure was APP
piled at the rate Of twelve loads Of
barnyard manure to the acre i'm
modiately after the last narrowing,
and was spread from the wagon
the only true way to scatter it evenly
on the surface of the field, and saw
ing of labor over the old system Of
dropping it in heaps and spreading
it very unevenly afterwards. The
result was u handsome increase of the
crop, say of ten or fifteen per cent
Over that whore the manure was
narrowed in. The fear of loss by
drying and wasting by evaporation
is one that has mover entered into my
calculation, the first rain so far mikes
it with the soil, and as the grain
grows itshados the manure and keeps
IT moist and continually bcnefting
the grain.

saving Work.

A lady who manages 70 90 the
work for q family Of six, and to get,
besides, sometime for leading and
society, relates some Of her ways for
accomplishing SO much work. All
Of the family wear flannel next to
the skin in winter, and this washes
more easily than cotton cloth, need
ing no rubbing, whom washed with
a machine and good suds. The
outer garments in winter are mostly
made Of worsted or WOODEN material,
and so are sponged of when they get
soiled, without the labor of washing
and ironing. She reasons that if
her boys can be decent in dark cloth
garments, her girls, with neater hab-
its, can do the same, So she puts a
colored worsted or plaid flannel pol
onaise on each girl, instead of an
apron, protecting it when dishes are
washed or wiped, with a sleeyed cal
leo apron, and ut table with napkin
or bib.
No doubt it would be the perfection
Of neatncss to wear freshly launder-
ed garments, out side and in, every
day, but she has counted the cost
and cannot afford it. With weekly
changes of under.lannol, frequent
bath, pure air, and wholesome food
and drink, she hopes to maintain the
family health, without much expen-
diture of strength and washing and
ironing outer garments. With the
same end in view, she carpets all the
rooms except the kitchen, and lays
strips of rag.carpets and rugs over
parts of the kitchen. The flannel
undorgarmonts, being wrung with a
wringer, are considered ready io1 use
when clean, dry, and well aired,
without ironing, Night'gowns be-
ing made of flannel or of soft I'M
bleached cotton cloth, are folded and
put away dry, without ironing
Dish towels are treated in the same
way. No ruflled garments are allow
cd in the washing, and no time is
spent at the sewing-machine in max
ing ruflles or anticipating. Sell
dom isany time spentin making cake
or pie, some form Of fruit usually sat
isfying all demands in the way of
dainties and delicacies. The most
common dessert at her table, onesutis'
factory to each member, is a single
good raw apple after the body of the
meal.

FARM AND HcuSEHolD.
Farmers and schools.

Unless farmers live near a village
they can rely on free instruction for
their children but a few months in
the wear. 1t becomes them to make
the best use possible Oftho advantages
they have, Their children should
enter school with the commencement
of the session and remain until the
close without interruption. Absences
from school are far more common in
the country than in the city. Many
farmers keep their children away a
day or a week for very trivial reason.
Punctuality is not only essential to
progress in studies but to forming
correct habits. The boy who leaves
school every few days will be likely
to neglect his farm whep he comes
to manage one. Interest in school is
always impaired by being irregular
in attendance. 1t causes pupils to
fall behind their classes and makes
them discouraged.
To enable pupils to derive the most
advantage from schools it essential
that they have time and opportuni-
tv IN stndy out of school. The boy
who has stock of cattle 10 attend, the
fuel for the house to prepare, and the
Chores to do, cannot be expected to
make very rapid progress in his
studies. Neither can it be expected
that u girl will advance very fast
who has to wash, iron, cook, and take
care of n house. Manual labor has
been recommended for students, and
undoubtedly it is useful for pupils
confined in u boarding-school the en-
tire year. Farmers children, how.
ever, are likely to get all the exercise
they need in walking to and from
school. There is no economy in re-
quiring them to do much work while
attending school. The gain in labor
performed will be slight as compared
with the loss in progress of studies
pursued.
An ordinary kitchen or living-room
in farm home is generally II poor
place in which to study. There is
commonly more or less work going
on that creates a noise. Then there
is the liability of disturbance from
visitors. It's very easy when chill
dren are sitting within easy call to
send them on errands. Habits Of
close study can rarely be formed in a
room where sewing machine is run
ming, a baby is crying, and several
persons are talking politics. There
is always economy in affording pu-
pills, other than young children, a
room properly warmed and lighted,
where they can study by themselves,
and be safe from allannoyance. The
cost is not great and the advantage
can hardly be estimated. Noinvest-
ment is more likely to render good
returns than that expended in warm.
ing and lighting room where the
pupils can study undisturbed.

How an Aged Lady Secured A
Home.

People never get SO old that they
are of no use. They seldom get so
worn that they cannot help them
selves. The trouble is to find out
what they can do to assist them in
bearing the load Of life honestly to
the end. A New York gentleman
lately solved this problem for an old
lady who applied to him for assist
ancc in obtaining admission to St.
Luke's Home for Women. 1t takes
just $500 to buy home for life in
the Home. The old lady had seen
better days, and still had many ac-
quaintanccs among well.to-do people
who did not turn their backs on her
in her age and.want. 1t was in 0c-
tober last that the old lady made APP
plication to the gentleman for aid
He asked her if she was willing to
make an effort to help herself. She
was willing, but what could she do?
Could she collect one million old pos,
tagc stamps for $500 to purchase a
homer She would try and went to
work. She went 10 many old friends
who enlisted their efforts and inilu-
enco in her cause with great spirit.
Old postage stamps for an old woman
to live on were easy to obtain. The
enterprise became the sole labor and
delight of several influential ladies,
and many heavy business houses
joined interests in the cause. The
other day the thing was done. 1t
was found that all she had collected,
amounted to one million and five
thousand stamps, They were put in
packages of one hundred, and by
close packing were compressed into
a Saratoga trunk. And so the
old lady purchased her home aud
was happy, She collected over three
hundred thousand stamps with her
own hands, and in ten weeks. The
enterprise succeeded so well that the
gentleman offered another home fol
another million stamps, to be placed
ut the disposal Of two benevolent Ia
dies, the home to DO given to the
most deserving person known tC
them, The stamps aro to be sent tc
Europe for the manufacture of papi'
or.macho goods, for which purpose
their qualities of paper and gum arc
good,

Potter resolution was introduced. But
nothing else so powerfully helps the
conspirators, by shelterng those who act with
them from the full force of public censure, as
the blind faith that Democrats who rebelled
or encouraged rebellion once will never 90 the
same again. Especially we hope that riots IN
cities and revolution mt Washington may not
come together, to test the stability of our IN
stitutions. But it is the plain truth that there
would be no danger but for public disbalef
in the existence of any danger. Love OF
order is strong enough in this country,
if aroused in season and thoroughly,
to stamp out every law-breaking ana
riotOus conspiracy against the public peace
Patriotism, love of Union, respect for the Con-
stitution and the laws, are strong enough now,
as they have been in the past, to crush any
faction or party that tries TO overthrow the
legally established Government; but If patriot
ism is not ready and the law is too long
dcfcncelcss, the struggle might cost the cOun-
try many lives. millions of money and
years of disorder. Especially if revolution
aly politicians seize upon an opportunity
when the country is disturbed as it
was last year, and, while pandering to
the mob as demagogues do so often,
paralyzc the Government by denying its auth
ority and ilsputiDg the validity OF the eiec-
ton of the Executive, long and costly struggle
between anarchy and law, between rebellion
and patriotism might then result. The time
for the people to make known their VIII Is
now. The time to prepare uncompromSihg
resistance and stern punishment, both for
rioters and rebels, is now. There will be
neither riotirg nor revolution, if Communists
and conspirators see that the country is ready
and resOuta.

Ugy so OFTEN AND so LONGl

How has it come about that Congress may
sit annually. and far toward half OF the
timer Because, in prescribing It's sessions,
the Convention of 1877 merely followed the
model found in the State constitutions. There
were no other precedents. The State LesiS-
latures. as then existing, were all framed
upon one model, and this was very simple
one. Each State constitution. gave all lcgis-
latiye power to a representative body author
lied to meet once q year and to follOW ts
own Judgment. Any variations from this
type in 1887 were entirely trivial. Naturally
enough, the National Legislature was framed
on the same plan.
But the States have improved the pattern.
Not more than two of them can be said to
have adhered to the old type. Six of the old
States and twcnty-four of the whole present
number have adopted biennial sessions. y
large proportion of the States have adopted
limitations on the length of session such as
fifty, sixty or a hundred days. Sometimes this
Limitation is simposrd absolutely. Sometimes ii is
coupled with provision that for cause and
by n special law the Legislature may prolong
its life Sometimes il Is indirectly established,
by SAYING that after an allowed term has cX-
pired the session shall be upon the basis pre-
scTibcd for the Pickwick Club-mcmbcrs to

The advance in constitutional government.
which, in 1887 was an experiment only a
dozen years on trial, has maturcd another i'm
provement that of limiting the laws which
may be passed. a good variety of subjects
are hung up out of reach. Most of the con-
sttutiOns now say that the Legislature may
not enact local or special laws on numerous
prohibited topics; it may not give special
charters; it may not incur such and such
debts; it may not pass certain laws unless no.
tice is given or a twO-thirds vote cast and
the like BY curtaling powers rs well as by
the principle of biennial sessions and short
ones, the people of many of the States have
attained good protection against the annoy
ance of too much and too long continued
legislation.
The Nation should examine Improvements
which the States discover. The country Is
afflicted with too much law-tinlerng. Any
remedies for it which have proved successful
in the States might well he tried for the
Union. When Congress, like the Legislatures
once gets hook in it's nose, the business it
represses can revive the finances it derangcs
can I've adjusted, the treasury it threatens can
fill up, and the country il dlsturbs can breathe
