Use Simple Language.

Said Edward Everett, "The common
people will always understand speak
er who understands himself and uses
simple language" But some speakers
seem to possess the incurable faculty
of always shooting over the common
peoples heads. The story is told of a
city minister who, after preaching for
a friend in the country, was told by
the latter:
"You have given us very good ser
mon, with one exception, and that is,
you used some words our people don't
understand"
The former thought the latter was
certainly mistaken, and asked what
single word he had used that all could
not understand. ..
"Why," replied the other, ''yOu said
felicity instead of happiness. Now,
all our people know what happiness is,
but great many of them l am sure dc
not know the meaning of felicity"
AS the preacher doubted this, the
country minister said: "There comes
one of our plain, simple farmers; we
will ask him."
And as the farmer came up he said
eve were just speaking about a word
the word felicity; can you tell us
what is its meaningq"
"Why, yes" said the farmer; "cer.
tainly | know what felicity is; it il
something inside pig, though | DOM

Into the Woods to Die.

On Monday afternoon, for four con-
tinuOus hours, the rain poured down
in the neighbOrhOOd of RondOut. Just
before the storm broke, Mrs. Anna
Relyea, of Sleightburgh, n. Y, seeing
her twelve-year- adopted daughter
Alice sitting languidly in the room,
screamed to the child:
"Get out of this room, you little
wretch Why don't you go some
where else to lie around Get out of
my sight ~
The pale, delicate child looked meek
ly into her mothers eyes, and her sad
and suppliant gaze would have turned
a heart of stone. For few moments
she stood in dazed kind of way, and
then, with long sigh of resignation,
went into an adjoining room and threw
herself on the lounge. A short time
afterward the mother went into the
room, but the child was not there, and
she did not see her again until after
noon, when she was borne senseless
into the house by number of boys.
The boys had found her lying insensi-
BILE on a rock in the woods. When
first they saw her they supposed she
was a tramp, and began to pelt her
with stones. On advancing toward
her, however, they discovered who she
was, and seeing her unconscious and
blue, they thought she was dead. The
boys were small, and the sight fright
ened them very much. They went for
a crowd of larger boys, and they car
ried the apparently lifeless form to her
home. 1t was nightfall before, by rub
bling and baths and the administration
of proper stimulants, the child was re-
stored to consciousness, and it was
many hours before she could either
speak or walk. When she was ena-
bled to speak she said that feeling sad
and almost forsaken, with no one to
love her, she determined to go into the
woods and lie down to die. When she
arose from the sofa the rain had not
begun to fall, but the sun was shining
it's brightest. Wandering on through
the woods, she at length, tired and
worn out, lay down on rock, and
gradually became unconscious, prOba-
bly, from weakness. There she had
lain in the drenching rain for four
hours, until found by the boys. When
her mother asked her why it was she
had gone away, she answered, with
tears in her swollen eyes:
81 thought mamma and papa didn't
love me any more, and | went into the
woods, where God looked down on me,
and where the birds sang me asleep"

Drink Milk Little by Little.

Milk is food that should not be taken
in cOpious draughts like other fluids
which differ from it chemically. If we
consider the use of milk in infancy we
find that the sucking babe imbibes lit
tie by little the natural food provided
for it. Each small mOuthful is secured
by effort, and slowly presented to the
gastric mucus surface for the primal
digestive stages. 1t is thus regularly
and gradually reduced to curd, and the
stomach is not oppressed with lump
of half cOagulated milk. The same
principle should be regarded in the
case of the adult. Milk should be
slowly taken in mOuthfuls, at short in
tervals, and thus it is rightly dealt
with by the gastric juice. If milk be
taken after other food it is almost sure
to burden the stomach, and to cause
discomfort and prolonged indigestion,
and this, for the obvious reason that
there is insufficient digestive agency to
dispose of it. And the better the quail
ity of the milk the more severe the
discomfort will be under these cOndi-
tions.-[ Popular Science Monthly.

Here and There.

1t is thirty per cent. more profitable
to premature and dispose of fattening
cattle at two years old, than to keep
them up to three years.
Marshall p. Wilder says: 81 would
rather be a man who shall originate
luscious fruit, suited to cultivation
throughout our land, of which success
sive generations shall partake long
after | shall be consigned to the bosom
of mother earth, than to wear the
crown of the prOudest cOnquerOr who
has triumphed over his fellow-men.
Mr.. A. X. Parsons of the Connecticut
Farmer breaches a severe but just SER
mon to those shiftless dairymen and
women who "never made pound of
decent butter and never WILL" and who
ought to be driven out of the business.
"Oleomargarine and kindred abOmina-
tons" are having some influence in
that direction.
The expectation of dried apples from
this country to France has greatly in
creased of late years, and now it is said
that "A large part of this useful product
comes back in the shape of Normandy

Tribune "Put your hen feed around

tant, and not so treated"
Buckwheat may be made profitable
upon a piece of rough or newly cleared
ground: No other crop is so effective
in mellowing rough, cloddy land. The
seed i'll Northern localities should be
sown before July 10; otherwise early
frosts may catch the crops. Grass and
clover may sometimes be sown success
fully with buckwheat.
The London News says: OF all
poultry breeding, the rearing of the
goose in favorable situations is said to
be the least troublesome and the most
profitable. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that the trade has of late years
been enormously developed. Geese
will live, and, to a certain extent, thrive
on the cOarsest of grasses.

ScOners Under Trial.

In giving account of the recent ac-
cident to the Britannia, on which ne
was passenger, DIR. Tiffany places In
deserved light class of persons who
amused themselves with sneers at the
parsons on board. by remarking that
when the steamer grounded, they were
the worst frightened people around,
rushing around the decks scared out of
their wits, and demanding to be put
ashore in the very first boats, request
which the rest of the passengers were
glad to see granted. The contrast be-
tween their behavior in smooth sea
and in the hour of danger is thus pic
tured, after stating that for seven days
the run was excellent, with light winds.
There was more than the usual amount
of petty gambling i'll the smoking
room, driving those of us who did not
enter 'poOls on the run" or take hands
at draw-pOker into other and less
pleasant quarters for our quiet whiffs !;
and some of the players were not con-
tent without their jokes about parsons,
etc. When the vessel grounded imme-
date orders were given for tightening
the bow by throwing cargo over board,
and soon the sea all around us was
covered with floating cheese-boXes. 1t
was not long before boats from the
shore came out and saving the cheese
began We were so still, there being
no sea running, that there was no pan

had been loudest in their sneers mt the

had sung at the evening hour on
deck. Some of these, frightened out
of all propriety, rushed to the deck,
embarrassed by the life-preservers they
had tied around them, demanding to
be saved on the first boats, and when
reasoned with could not be persuaded
into prOpriety, one man, especially,
crying out ~ must be saved. My
God, | can't swim - They were al
lowed to 90 off on the first boat.

freely exposed to sunshine. Wood and
coal are but condensed sunshine, which
contains three important elements
equally essential to both vegetation
and animal life-magnesia, lime, and
iron. 1t is the iron in the blood which
gives it its sparkling red color and its
strength. 1t is the lime in the bones
which gives them the durability neces-
sary to bodily vigor, while the magne
STA is important to all of the tissues.
Thus it is, that the more persons are
out of doors the more healthy and Wig
orous they are, and the longer they
will live. Every human being ought
to have an hour or two of sunshine at
noon in winter and in early. forenoon
in summer.

Will the End Ever Come

Ii is surprising and disheartening to
see the slow progress that radical tenn
perance sentiments make in the ave
rage community. If a man dies from
a defective sewer the country is at once
informed of the terrible fact, and the
place where the leak of noxious gases
destroyed a human life is placed at
once under ban, and small army of
men set to repair the break that has
caused the trouble.
But any number of rum shops may
be set up in city, or village, or town.
and no matter how many men are
worse than murdered by their traffic.
if they pay for their license it is all
right. No army of men are sent to
stop the escape of. what kills quicker
and deader than sewer gas-kills the
body and soul both.
Last week, in one day, three persons
came to untimely ends, in a near city,
directly by rum; one suicide, one muir
der, and one MORALLY wounded in a
drunken fight and yet, nothing was
said about it more than a common
record of a common every day Oc-
currence.
Sometimes those who fight the tenn
perance battle and only get curses OF
contumely for their work, get tired
but they take courage when they re-
member that their glory comes, not OF
their success. but their fidelity TO right

Hen Lice.

The warm weather will hatch out
these pests in swarms, particularly if
the winter quarters have not been kept
clean. Take day and attend thorough
ly to your hen house. If you are too
busy to attend to it yourself, hire it
done it will pay. Whitewash every
board, roost and nest thoroughly. 1t
need not be done by a scientific kalsO-
miner. A boy of twelve with an old
whitewash brush, can do the work well
enough if he has plenty of lime to
throw around. Put carbolic acid in
the slaked lime, brush the perches
with kerosene, sprinkle plenty of sui
phur over the clean straw that you
have put in the nests, and you will
lose fewer fowls with "chOlera" during
the hot weather.

Effect Of Sunshine.

From an acorn, weighing a few
grains, tree will grow for 100 years
or more, not only throwing off many
pounds of leaves every year, butitself
weighing several tons. If an orange
twig is put in a large box of earth,
and that earth is weighed when the
twig becomes tree, bearing luscious
fruit, there will be very nearly the
same amount of earth. From careful
experiments made by different scien-
tific men, it is an ascertained fact that
a very large part of the growth of a
tree is derived from the sun, from the
air, and from the water, and a very
little from the earth ; and notably all
vegetation becomes sickly unless it is

The Real Article.

Happiness indeed What business
have we yet with happiness We
must win il before we wear it. Only
toll can give us the power of enjoying.
And God knows this, and he puts us
through this long and painful process.
lie saves us but we must work out
our own salvation. He gives us light /;
but we must conquer darkness. And
if we want the lazy sweets of life, the
ease undignified by any thought, the
life untroubled by any disturbing doubt,
why, we may have it by throwing our
selves out of the sphere of Gods train
ing, and sinking down into our native
mud. The happiness of Circe's sty,
the happiness of being unconscious of
our own degradation, and loving it
''Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and
dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy
life"-that is not the glorious end Il
child of God desires. God will not
permit that we have happiness at the
expense of spiritual greatness. But
if we will have something better far
a grave nobility of spirit, life thrilled
through and through with august ideas
bravely won; Il vast and practical love
for man, in which self will be forgot
ten an aspiration toward truth I'M
firing as an eagles flight, and with his
sun-tiXed eye the enthusiasm of one
who loves with passion God and man ;
the temperate reasOnableness which
rules enthusiasm, so as to direct it to
its work with wisdom-then there is
something higher than our miserable
happiness. 1t is the awful blessedness
of life with God, the knowledge that
we are growing up into better things,
the certain hope of Il life of eternal
righteousness and love and joy, the
stern delight of duty done.
