Add as You are Able.

\ venerable and distinguished bishop
once advised body of ministers as fol-
lows: "Owe no man more than you are
able to pay; and permit no man to owe
you more than you are able to lose y
rational application of this advice would
divest the credit system of many, If not
of all its Objectionable features. Con-
sistent with the first part OF the exhor-
tation, Young men-and elder ones as

a gradual addition to their property OF
any kind. IL one has not money

fine himself to the little After while
he can easily venture on another part !;
and, after waiting and earning, on
another and another, and another,
either paying as he goes, or surely
avoiding heavy Indebtedness. DO not
attempt too much at once. Do what
you can afford this time, and put off the
other things to another time. Don't try
to build to much and too fast. Don't
buy at once all the furniture you would
like to see in your house. Improve and
increase your implements and stock by
degrees. A little that Is paid for is far
better than much you owe for. Debt,
bankruptcy and distress come often
from burdening the present for the sake
of the future. 1t is easier to pay little
debts every now and then, than to pay
q large debt at one time. All who have
tried them know tina. large debts are
costly and unpleasant things.

And look through the window again
With eyes that are changed since the old
time,
And the sting of an exquisite pain.
IT'S not much that see for picture.
Through bows that are green with SPring-
A barn with its roof gray and messy,
And above it bird on the wing.
Or, lifting my head a thought higher,
Some hills and village know.
And over it all the blue Heaven,
With a white cloud floating below.
All! once the roof was prison,
My mind and the sky were free,
Ny thoughts with the birds went flying,
And my hopes were Heaven to me.

Where they press the wine of delusion
That you drink and axe thirsty still;
And know why the bird with the Spring

To the guarled old tree comes back

He has felt what the sweet things lack.
So come with sad contertment,
With eyes that are changed l see;
The root means peace. not prison,
And Heaven smiles down on me.

What an Old Woman Heard.

A droll mistake was made by an i'm
aginative cid dame, who, having per-
mitted a telegraph pole to be placed on
the top of her house, WAITED ~pon TAG
chief of the Geographic company con-
cerned to complain tlat she could get
no sleep at night, being kept awak" by
the noise made by the messages passing
over her head. II don't think, sir,
said she, "you can be aware of all that
is said along them wires. There's a
great deal that hadn't ought to be. |
can assure you sir, that very much that's
said there, that have to lie and listen
to, is such AZ no decent woman ought to
hear; and 1 hope You will put stop to
it." The amused gentleman was hardly
able to meet the accusation with due
gravity; but he did contrive to keep his
countenance while he informed the old
lady that the young men who had hith-
erto worked the wires were under notice
of dismissal, and that in future only
young women Of great responsibility
would be employed, 70 there would Be

Ellie Wilton's Dilemma.

There is tendency to make skirts for
street wear narrow and rigid. They are
not tied back as formerly, and are sensi-
bly, short enough to clear the ground;
but they are so braced, fastened and
shored with strings that a wearsr if once
overturned in q gutter, would be as
helpless a. cast COW, and would require
lifting back to her feet. Something of
the kind happened at tho Union Square
Theatre the other night. Miss Wilton,
the actress from California, consoles her
self for bad part by wearing several
costumes of most stunning character.
She is said to have brought away
enough bonanza money from the Pacific
Coast to indulge in such fancies One

A Demand for Men Eighteen
Feet Long.

A soldier who served in the swamps
of South Carolina during the war tells
the following story Among the Off
GERS whom l remember well at Morris
Island was Colonel Sewell, of New
York, a most excellent officer and an
accomplished engineer. Colonel Sewell
was engaged OH the Swamp Angel, and
being very energetic himself he was not
afraid to enter the swamps. His sur
prise can be imagined when one day one
OF his lieutenan,s whom he had ordered
to take 20 men and enter the swamp
said he could not do it.
"And why, sir, can't you do it y cried
the energetic Sewell.
"The mud is too deep, Colonel" re-
piled the lieutenant.
"You can at least try, sir" said
Sewell
The lieutenant did SO, and in an hour
returned, his men covered With mud from
head to foot.
"Here, now" cried Sewell on seeing
them, "what brings you backf
Colonel, the mud is over my hands
head. can't doit."
"Oh but you can make requisition
for anything that is necessary for tho
safe passage Of the swamp, and 1 viii
give it to you, but you must 60 through
it,"
The lieutenant did make requisition
in writing, which was a. follows:
81 want twenty men, eighteen feet
long to cross over a swamp fifteen feet
deep"
Tue joke was good one, but Sewell,
who was terribly in earnest, could not
just then appreciate it, and he promptly
arrested the lieutenant for disrespect to
his superior officer. Another lieutenant
was detailed and no went into the
swamp, felled the timber and accom-
plished what his unfortunate predecessor
had failed to do. Colonel Sswell built
his battery with the aid Of wheelbarrows
and sand and the remains Of il still

Wedding Days!

The wedding day may be the most
eventful day in woman's life, but it is
not the happiest, though it is conven-
tionally called So Nor is it the mans.
Both the chief parties to wedding cut
rather awkward figures and play diff
cult parts on the day they are made
one in the presence of great concourse
of friends, neighbors and Indifferent
folks The only brides who can really
enjoy wedding day are those who do
not much care for bridegrooms, or who
have struggled toward marriage under
circumstances which convert their we'd
ding day into splendid personal tri.
umphs. In humber life, when girl
marries man who is her superior in
station, she must experience moment
of exquisite delight, when her union is
consecrated amid circle of envious
friends. But to ordinary couples
who love each other, and whose
match is so very we'll assorted,
in respect of age, station and fortune
that it excites no wonder, tho wedding
day is certainly tircsome one. The
two young people are Impatient to be
united, and they glory in the day which
is to make them man and wife but all
the formalities of nuptials seem to
them most tedious. The bride expect.
ant rises in the morning, unrefreshed by
a sleepless night and nervous in antici-
patton of the days proceedings. A
glance at her mirror shows her that she
is not looking at her best. Correctly
speaking, man has no rights over his
bride till the wedding service is over,
and consequently he has no business to
kiss her before strangers but at court
weddings royal bridesrooms settle the
difficulty by q compromise and kiss their
brides on the hands. Lucky the bride.
grooms who can laugh on q wedding
day. The worst of q dismal bride groom
is that his glum looks may wort. upon
his brides nerves and maze her
cry. There are brides who feel called
upon to sob in church, at the breakfast,
and again at the hour Of departing.
Anything is better than this. The
bridegroom cuts q most miserable figure
when he is made to appear as brute
who is carrying off an impressionable
maiden against her will, and the bride
herself does not shine out to her great
est advantage when she lapses into the
melting mood several times over in one
day. Some tears are, of course, excusa-
BILE, and one honest, unprecedented
outburst at the moment when the newly
welded wife leaves the home where she
has been so happy is but proof of
good heartedness, which the bridegroom
should note as glad augury, seeing
that cold-hearted girls Tic not, as rule,
make warm hearted wives. On tho
whole, however, let wedding be mirth-
full, without levity; and, as it is the
bridegroom who strikes the keynote Of
the prevailing sentiment at wedding,
let him clothe His features in serenity

To Protect Trees From Rabbits.

An Illinois man protects his trees
from rabbits with mounds made in the
following manner:
81 choose for the time of making
them when the soil is little wet, not
muddy, but waxy. l much prefer day
on which there is slight freeze. l quar-
ry out a square yard of the thinly frozen
soil around the stem of the tree the
ground being slightly concealed on the
surface, this is easily and rapidly done,
and the operation removes all weeds,
grass and clods. The soil around the
stem is then made very loose, after
which L firm it by treading it down
solid. Another portion of the upper
soil is removed near the tree, which
again disposes of all trash, and from
this get the soil to make my mound.
This l begin with a broad base, say
two feet, l am careful to tramp down
well every few spadefuls. In this
way l proceed until the mound
is ten or twelve inches high, sloping
steeply in the shape in which it is too
frequently left. 1 then take away the
outer and lower part all round by
plunging the spade in perpendicularly,
about six inches from the stem of the
tree. This leaves a ball standing
around the stem of the tree, the sur
plus soil being thrown aside. Next
humble myself and, with my hands
mold this ball into pointed or oval
shape at the top and pound it with my
fist until is very compact and smooth.
Il have been very tedious, probably
to those who do not need my advice,
but l do feel sorry for those who have
nice young trees ruined by 'varmints.'
The aggregate loss in the West every
winter from this cause is enormous.
My object is to give those help who
think they have tried mounds in vain.
Don't give up this plan; mounds formed
in this way will work. There is soil
and on many farms the material for
wrapping are not at hand. Remove all
mounds in spring"

Natural Gas Wells in Nevada.

Moses Hasbrook, who has been for
some two months engaged at fishing
near the north end of Pyramid Lake,
says the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise tells
of discovery recently made by him
self and two other fishermen which
may yet prove valuable. They had
been out on the lake fishing one even
ing and remained until about nine
O'Clock, when it began to blow heavily
and grow uncomfortably cold. They
ran their boat to shore and having
blankets and provisions with them,
sought shelter in the lee of large hill,
building fire and making camp in
little valley or basin. During the night
their camp fire spread into the grass
and brush covering the bottoms of the
valley and burned streak two or
three rods in width to quite dis
lance from the camp. They observed
the fire soon after it started, but know
ing it could do harm did not take the
trouble TO turn out of their blankets for
the purpose of extinguishing it. Some
time towards two O. clock in the morn
ing, Mr.. Hasbrook says he was awak-
ened by a great cutlery from his COM
panions and much to his establishment,
found all about him as light as day. In
a moment he saw that the light came
from several jets of flame from five to
twelve feet in height. All proceeded to
the spot and found no less than nine OF
these jets within circle of about five
rods. The gas was found to proceed
from little blowholes from half an
inch to an inch in diameter and seemed
in no way different from such holes as
are usually seen on the deserts. The
gas jet shot up with good deal of force
and made sort of cracking noise. The
upper part of the flames presented a
yellowish appearance and were from
one to three feet in width, while down
toward the ground, where the jets were
narrow, the flame passed from yellow to
a greenish hue. They left the jets
burning when they broke up camp the
next morning. These natural gas
springs are on the opposite side of the
lake from that on which the fisherman
have their cabins. Mr.. Hasbrook says
that the day before he left he and sew
eral others crossed the lake and found
the wells still burning the same as they
had left them. On this last trip Piute
Indian went with them. The red man
exhibited no surprise at what he saw,
but lighting stick he went some rods
further up the valley and touched off a
dozen or more jets that were fed from
holes upon and around little hillock
Mr.. Hasbrook says though they searched
for an hour or two they could find no
indications of petroleum, nor was there
any smell of petroleum about the burn
inc gas.

Suggestions About Dairying.

PAsTURAGE alone has an immense in.
fluence over the butter. ANY manurino
that serves to promote rank, succu-
lent growth, which, while it NAV in
crease the quantity of milk, contains a
large per cent. of water, is not benefi-
cial for the making of butter, reducing
at the same time the strength and flesh
of the cows in the herd.
Since it has been asserted that the
Jersey COW is the one that Yields the
most in quantity, quality and color of
butter, the food that is best relshed by
her must be supplied. Grass and hay
are the staples. These grow with little
labor in the cultivation. Sowed corn,
or corn-fodder. either dry or green,
helps fill in. The first may be given
with great benefit when the pastures
have become reduced in yield. Winter
dairying is more profitable than summer,
but attended with more care and labor.
A crop of roots, either beets or carrots.
should be raised for winter use. Turnips
are not good unless fed at proper
time; that is, just after milking. The
odOr then passes off without affecting
the milk, and the quantity is increased,
butnot the quality. Cleanliness through
out in every department is important
The milk gives the flavor, color and
texture to the butter. The milk pail
should be perfectly clean. No slovenlv
person should be allowed to do the
milking; neither should the care and
cleansing of the implements be en-
trusted to such a person. There must
be bright, smart, clean hands in every
department. The udder of the cow, if
dirty, should be washed with sponge
and clean water before milking. in order
to avoid that peculiar barnyardy"
flavor which always hangs about some
peoples butter. This is no fault of the
cow, but of the keeper, in allowing her
to lie down in filthy places thoroughly
impregnated with it. In milking, the
fine dust scatters into the pail, and
forms sediment that settles into the
bottom of the vessels, in which the milk
is set. This is too frequently the result
of laziness. After once mixed with the
milk no strainer will separate it.
The flavoring of milk and butter is
very fine and delicate, and is influenced
by surroundings, consequently these
must be looked to. A filthy stable is
worse than barnyard, and in these two
places most of the milk is drawn from
the cows. There are many methods of
setting the milk, and every one has a
way OF his own, whether it be correct
or not That mode which produces the
greatest amount of butter from the
given quantity of milk, and with the
least expense of time, is the cheapest
and easiest. The temperature of the
atmosphere is one important item, and
this may be controlled in a measure
