Gems of Thought.

Hearts are flowers; they remain
open to the softly falling dew, but
shut up in the violent downpour of
rain.
There is nothing lower than hypoc-
risy. To profess friendship and act
enmity is sure proof of total de-
pravity.
Good counsels observed are chains
to grace, which, neglected, prove
halters to strangle undutful children,
The best thing to resort to, when
evil comes upon US, is not lamenta-
ton, but action; We should not sit
and suffer, but rise and seek the
remedy.
Oh, who cat stretch hi nself at ease
Belo-e the worlds great stirring deeds,
Who indolently bow,
When heroes. saints and sages all
Do after him increasingly call,

A life of steadfast. upward strivin g,

obedience to divine law; this is wor-

The ERUPTION Of Mount Etna.


There have been seventy eight
erupiiOns Of the volcano 4Etna since
the days of Pythagoras. The first
recorded eruption occurred in the
seventh century b. c.. and eleven
notable eruptions occurred between
that date and the beginning OF the
Christian era. The most disasterous
OF the later eruptions were those Of
1169, 1869. 1893, and 1852. In 1869
the city OF Catania was destroyed by
an earthquake incident to the erup-
ton, and 1900 lives were lost. In
1863 the lava destroyed twenty towns
and Villages. and flowed in stream
from two TO three miles wide until it
poured into the sea. Reaching the
walls of Catania, one stream OF lava
poured over the wall. sixty feet high,
into the city a fiery cascade Of de-
struetion. When the main current
reached the sea the stream of lava
was 600 yards broad and forty feet
deep. The country for sixty miles
around was covered with sand aud
ashes thrown from the craters.
In 1851 fifty cities and towns were
destroyed, and nearly 100000 people
lost their lives. The last eruption oc-
CURED in 1865. when seven new craters
were formed on the northeast side OF
the mountain. The present eruption
has been sisnalized by the opening OF
OF three new craters on the northern
slope, and streams OF lava are flowing
down the western slope.
The volcano, situated on the east
ern seaboard of Sicily. has a circum-
ference OF ninefy-one miles at the
base, and covers an area OF 480 square
miles. There are on the mountain
two cities aud sixty three towns and
villages, aud the population OF the
fertile districts is about 100000. The
cultivated region is about two miles
wide on the north, east, aud west, and
nine or ten miles miles wide on the
south. The main or great crater in
the center is 10,S67 above the level OF
the sea. but there have been hundreds
OF other openings within a radius of
ten miles.
In 1869 the lava flowed down the
southern slope, or through the most
populous valleys. The movement
was rapid at first, but as the lava
gradually cooled the progress was
very slow. In twenty days the cur
rent moved thirteen miles. During
the last twenty three days Of its
course it moved only two miles.
Many OF the lava currents cool with.

His digestion-the first requisite in an

replaces sleep with hearty meals, which
he partakes OF frequently. His style

SolreeAu@ Breed ding Turkeys.

While all breeders like to have and
breed "heavy weights" and customers
buying turkey all call for large birds, it is
a fact that for market purposes, moderate
sized and even fmsll turkeys command a
more ready sale than do large ones. We
have watched the market for few days
mast and know this ID be fact. How
ever. We do not wish to discourage
breeders from running up the weights,
even il they attain the much desired
weight of ffty-pound gobb!er at three
or four years old, for as long as there is a
lively demand among breeders for heavy
birds, let there be birds to supply that
demand. To secure the best results in
that direction, select an early hatched,
strong and vigorous gobbler of this years

long in the body and properly marked,
and mate him to as many two' year old
hens as you intend to keep-from two to

FARM AND HOME.
EBees.

A hive of bees without a queen will
continue working with spirit it they
have no eggs or Larvae from which to
grow queen. But if they build comb
when having no queen it is drone comb.
A hive with queen year or more old
has, under any circumstances, strlng
discrimination to build some comb
and if the honey is coming in rapidly
and new combs are needed for storing, it
will often build large amount of drone
comb. A hive with young queen
growing during the season builds worker
comb almost entirely. The skillful bee
keeper takes advantage OF this tact to
oct his combs for the brooJ.chsmbers Of
his hives built in hives having young
queens, and thus he avoids having much
drone comb.
