The Nursery.

The Nursery.
When we first came here to live, the
fot next to ours was vacant; but after
wards house was built on it, and the
boys were very much interested in the
progress of the building. Often, when
obliged to stay in doors, they would sit
by the window, watching the work on
the NEW house." as they called it.
Mr.. Little, the owner of the house,
was an old acquaintance of ours, and
very fond of children. So occasionally.
when he came TO oversee the work, /
would allow the boys to go up and see
him; and he would give them a few
nails, OF some blocks to play with.
One day, Mr.. Little called their at
tention to the wood which the carpen-
tiers had thrown aside as rubbish, and
told them he was gong to pick up some
of it, and send it home TO burn; "and
now, bows" said Mr.. Little, "if you
would like to help yeur mother, here is
a chance to get her some kindlipg. wood.
You may come every day, and get all

they knocked at the back-door, and

door for them. Each one threw out his
load, and started for another; and so
they kept at work nearly the whole
forenoon.
They continued to work in this way
for eek, sometimes getting one load
a day, and sometimes four or five; and
every night, when their papa came
home, they invited him down cellar to
see how much wood they had.
In a little room back of the parlor,
there was an old fashioned fireplace, in
which, when the evenings began to
grow cool, papa would build up nice
fire, Just after supper. Then he would
sit down in the freight with the boys,
and tell them stories till their bedtime,
greatly to their delight.
So you see they had reward for their
labor, besides having the satisfaction of
knowing that they helped their mother,

Resignation of Senators,
Providence Journal.

The National Government has been in
existence for nearly ninety-two years,
and since its organization there bas
been up to the present date 2ll United
States Senators who have voluntarily re-
signed their seats in the national Senate.
The striking fact in the case is that a
large proportion of them came from the
thirteen original States. The list is as
follows: Maine, 0; New Hampshire, s;
Vermont, 6; Massachusetts,, l7 Rhode
Island. Z; Connecticut, 6; New York, Is;
New Jersey, 8; Pennsylvania, s, Della
ware, IL; Maryland, 8; Virginia, IA;
North Carolina, s; South Carolina, l5i
Georgia, IA; Alabama, 4; Kentucky, IL;
Tennessee, IL; Ohio, s; Illinois, |; Arkan'

siana 6; California, /; Iowa, 2; Mime.
sofa, ]; Kansas, /. This last resignation
was made under compulsion, that is to
say, the incumbent had the choice OF
resigning or meeting the alternative OF
expulsion. John NJ. Berrien, Of Georgia,
resigned on three different occasions
1929, lS45 and 1852. When he rendered
bis resignation the second time the lie.
gislature accepted it, but he was imme.
diately reelected by nearly unanimous
vote. He was man of the very highest
order of ability, his public and private
morals above reproach. The following
named Senators, most of them distins
guished in the annals OF fame, each re-
signed their seats on two different oc-
casions Daniel Webster, Hannibal
Hamlin, Simon Cameron, John M, Clay
ton, John Forsyth, Jefferson Davis,
George w. Campbell, Andrew Jackson
and John J. Crittenden. When Gen,
C1ss was nominated for President in
1S4S, he resigned his seat in the national
Senate, deeming 1t a proper and dignl-
fed course. This act ELECTED much
comment from the press Of that day, and
the Whig papers especially predicted
his defeat ior the Presidency, and as a
candidate for reelection to the Senate
but when the Legislature of Michigan
assembled In January following he was
reelected to complete his original term
it being nearly as long in duration as
that of Mr.. Conkling when he recently
surrendered his Senatorial trust to the
appointing power. The circumstances
attending many of the above designations
constitute highly interesting chapters IN
our civil and political history, but theii
republication iu the present condition o.
the public taste would not elicit one
tenth the interest with which the daily
balloting Is looked for from Albany.

We know that in Britain, where this

recent attempts have been made with

"stop that Quarreiling."
TNTT EuApIfU


In England recently, curious incl
dent Of geese-lfe was witnessed. A
number of very fine geese, belonging to
a Mr.. Woodford, were having their
morning ramble when suddenly strange
noise was heard.
Two of the geese had been quarrelling
probably, over some choice morsel o
food. They fought each other furiously
when they were suddenly stopped in a
way that caused no little surprise to the
beholders.
An old goose came flying across the
road, cackling in tones that must have
meant, "Stop that quarrelling w for they
seemed to be well understood by the
comkatants. Having chided them well,
the old goose proceeded to punish them.
Instantly the quarrelsome geese obey
ed the command of the old goose; and
the whole flock, that had been witnesses
of the fight, began to gobble their ap-
proval of the peace that had been brought
about. How much wiser they were than
some bad boys, who like to see fight,
and do not try to stop it.

A Movement to Suppress Conve sation
About the Weather.


Detroit Free Press.
More than a year ago those who travel
on the Woodward avenue car line en-.
tered into solemn agreement not to
mention the weather to each other when
they met on the car. No matter how
hot or how cold IT was no one was to
speak Of it, and each one was r. infer
that the others had brains enough to ex'
pect ten degrees below zero in January
and eighty-fve above in August. As a
result of this agreement nuisance was
abolished, and thousands of citizens put
in way to enjoy themselves as well as
one can in street car. Two weeks ago
the organization was revived, and up to
yesterday noon the word weather" had
not been even hinted at on any car on
that line. At that hour stranger en-
tered car on Adelaide street. and had
scarcely taken his seat when he said TO
a man across the aisle:
"Nice little shower we've had?"
He was given freezing look in reply,
buthe continued:
Curious that we don't have more
thunder-storms this spring"
One of the organization here presented
him with the engraving of a coffin, but
after brief glance he continued:
wonder if we are going to have dry
summer"
The car stopped, and he was impaled
on the top of some iron pickets, no one
even troubling himself to take down his
diving words to his wife.
The coroner has refused TO hold any
inquest, and the chief of police says he
shall take no official notification of the
incident. That's the sort OF men they
are up Woodward avenue, and that's
the sort of end weather .talkers may
expect to reach. This saying it's hot or
cold or balmy or breezy or close or
bracing mas got to be put stop to, if the
cross-bar on every lamp-post becomes a
gallows. 1t means nothing, annoys
everybody, and is deserving Of violent
death. Let the work ofexecution, then,
90 on.

Worm-summer Appies-Farm Notes.


G.D.Y.
j. A Lintner, the New York State En-.
tomologist, Just returned TO Albany from
Potsdam, states that he is not positively
able to identify the worm which is raw
aging that region as the notorious"
army-worm, the leucania unrouncte. He
finds, however. wide devastation being
caused by myrlads OF certain caterpil-
lar. This pest so far has manifested few
OF the supposed characteristics of the
genuine army-worm at that period Of
development. 1t has done no marching,
the worms spending most of their time
beneath the sod, coming out OCCASION
ally, TO feed, but apparently living and
thriving beneath the surface. Professor
Lintner thinks it possible that later the
worms may form into large bands and
move like an army. He finds no record
of such visital of the army>worm in
Northern New York, and it has been
rare in the State. 1t would uot at any
rate, be expected till the middle of July
and the part of the State now invaded is
beyond the limit of the raraees of this
insect, according to the map of DR..
Packard. If the present insect is the
real army worm it may deposit eggs by
the middle of June which will develop

plications should be made while the dew

summer App es

Are often of the best varieties for vine-
par-making, as they abound in sugar;
therefore, don't attempt the manufacture
of cider for vinegar purposes upon this
crop, Commence operations upon the
later crop, when the approaching cold
weather can be relied upon to arrest the
rapid fermentation at the proper time
and allow 1t to proceed quietly. When
this has advanced sufficiently, which
will be known by cessation of noise,
close up the bung, allowing but a gins
lethole for the escape of the carbonic
acid gas, and excluding the oxygen for
the winter; for when we want to convert
this into vinegar, We need heat and free
access to the air. As spring approaches,
rack off the cider as clear as possible,
and clean your barrels. Divide your bar
rels, so that in each barrel you will not
have to exceed twenty gallons. Take
out the bungs and let in all the light,
heat and air you can. If it is possible
when racking, to remove them to barn
floor, granary or some place where there
is free circulation, all the better, or
block the barrels up along the garden
fence with a piece of wire gauze over the
bungs to keep out insects.

from extreme pain in the feet, something

troubled with corns and bunions. 1t was
with great difficulty that she could walk,
and sometimes when she would visit her

dren, she could not get home again without
assistance, and often when she was walking
along the streets she was compelled 10 stop
in at the neighbors on the way until she
got better. Some two weeks ago she heard
of the wonderful cures st. Jacobs Oil was
effecting and she at once commenced to use
it AMI experienced great relief Immediately
