Strict SILENCE.


My dear young wife, make no one
your confident in the inevitable troubles
OF your married life. Above all, if you
live with your husbands people, do not
confide in them. Be your mother-in-
law never so good, never SO wise, land
the more .virtuous she is the more
danger to you in the course,) it will
only endanger your future peace to give
her this confidence. Not even your own
mother should have it now; the time
has come for you to have new confdant
and adviser, that one your husband. If
you have secret for some one to keep,
he is the one; do you need advice-who
so likely to give You the right? If you
have differeDces-and you will have;
however much you may doubt it now,
there will come time when the sun will
seem to be blotted out from the heavens;
when all the earth will be upside down;
when Dick and you have the first "spat''
bury them deeply in your breast; you
can preserve your self-respect in no
other way. Your private life must be
truly private; on this depends the hap
piness of your welded life. If you live
alone You may easily preserve this
sacred silence; if not it will be harder.
but the need will also be greater If
kept secret, trials soon pass away; to
talk Of them only increases their magni.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Farm and Garden Notes.

There is no surer way Of destroying
apple-tree borers than to dig them with
pointed knife and to kill them when
found. II they are high up they may
be crushed with wire pushed up into
the holes. Coal ashes spread around
the trees are beneficial. The wounded
parts may be covered with mixture OF
fresh COW dung and clay.
The experience of sheep growers is
that it is folly to keep old sheep They
should be given over to the butcher in
their prime. Four sets of lambs is all
that q eve should bear. She will then
be five years old, and can be readily
fattened for the block.
For fodder corn rich land is best.
Sow in burrows or drills two and half
feet apart. Run the cultivator or
double-shovel through three or four
times. Cut as soon as the base of the
stalks begin to turn yellow, or as soon
as small nubbins appear on the most
advanced stalks.
Professor W. J. Beal mentions in the
Rural New Yorker, that person with
poor soil and poorer tillage had toma-
toes fortnight ahead of more thrifty
neighbors who, on richer land and with
heavy manuring, produced luxuriant
growth of plants and later ripening OF
the fruit.
Colts are frequently taught the trick
or nipping with their teeth by their
owners injudiciously playing with or
teasing them. Once learned the habit
is cured with difficulty. Treat the horse
very carefully, avoiding all playing
with it, and whenever it attempts to
bite whip il across the nose with a
switch.
The Striped hug.
This pest is well known to all Guilt
vators of melons. 1t generally appears
with the first opening of the water
melon, musk melon and cucumber
plants. 1t also attacks squashes @.
NJ. Clay gives in the Indiana Farmer
his plan of circumventing the striped
bug He says: lay shingles or other
cover on each hill as soon as the seed
are planted. The seed should be a
dozen or more in the hill to give some
for food to the bugs ami ants, and to
give place for the selection of the best
in thinning out. The ants will also
suck the juices of the young plants,
but never disturb them, because they
attack the eggs and larv@ of most in
scots, and are very fond of the striped
bug and rose llce-the aphides.
The striped bug begins at once, as
soon as it energies from winter quarters,
upon the stems and leaves of the plant,
when they may be killed with the
finger when found under the soil and
clods of earth. Those taking shelter
under the shingles early in the morning
or on cool, wet, damp evenings may be,
when the trap is turned over, killed by
the wholesale with wooden paddles !;
and this process should be kept up as
long as the vines are not too thick to
allow approach to the hills.
1t is true that, after the plants are
established with few full leaves, all
danger to them is past; but it is best to
destroy the bug as long as possible for
security in after years. The bugs begin
to pair here the first warm days in May,
and soon lay their eggs on the young
leaves, which should be also crushed.
At this time they assemble in full force
on few plants, when they may be easily
destroyed.

The Exigencies of Guiteau's Case.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. January 90. -
Ii the jury in the Guiteau case should
bEAsg in a verdict of guilty at any
time before Monday next. at which
fine the next term Of the Criminal
Court will begin, the counsel tor the
prisoner will be entitled to file their
bill of exceptions at any time during
the continuance of the forthcoming
term, and the court will be CO. 0pelled
to grant a hearing upon the excep-
tons at once. If the exceptions be
ovrruled, Judge Cox, can under the
law, at once pass sentence, and with
in thirty days thereafter the sentence
can be executed. The law provides
that the prisoner shall be entitled to
one intervening term between the
conviction and the sentence. If the
counsel for Guiteau should fail to file
their bill of exceptions before the
termination of the next term 1.-THE
one beginning on Mond4y next then
Judge Cox can within ten days after
the termination of said term pro.
nOunce sentence. The only contin-
gency which would, in case of con-
viction, postpone the execution of
the sentence until September would
he the failure of the Jury to convict
before Monday next, providing, of
course. that Judge Cox is disposed so
to sentence the prisoner as to grant
him the minimum grace allowed by
the law. AS was said by an eminent
lawyer this afternoon in discussing
this question, there are several mat
tiers to be considered in determining
the ultimate result, and as the pris-
oner is not yet convicted it will for
some days remain matter of UNI
certainty how long under the law and
the possible exercise of discretionary
clemency on the part of Judge Cox
the prisoner may be allowed to live.

Killing Snakes With Dynamite.

The following is an extract from a
letter which appeared in the Little
Rock (Ark.) Democrat: "After a
long search we found what is known
as The odd Jackson Copper Mines
situated on the rolling fork of Little
river, Sewer county. We commence
ed cleaning out the old shaft, and
when about four feet deep a large
rock was removed by Mr.. Thompson,
and before it could re raised to the
top, the head of a monster rattlesnake
peered from the opening made by
removal of the rock, and before this
snake was killed we found them
breaking in upon us from other por-
tions of the wall. and from their his
sing and rafting and onward march
upon us, retreat was our only safety.
With rocks, shotgun and revolver we
battled with the enemy, managing to
keep them all between the shaft, but
with all we could do il was impossi-
BILE to destroy them, and half pound
stick of dynamite was charged and
thrown in their midst, and when the
smoke cleared away victory was
ours, and all those that were not en-
tirely destroyed retreated, as the
tails ofseveral were seen protruding
from the wall.
"WOrGis cannot describe the picture
presented and the opinion of all was
that at least fifty of these huge rep
tiles had been killed. but when
counted only eighteen rattle and one
black snake, with the remains of half
dozen more shattered and scattered
by the explosion, was the result Of
our hard earned victory. The snakes
were the largest ofthis species l have
ever seen-the smallest one measur-
ing four feet seven and a half inches
and the longest one inch less than
seven feet. The least number of rat
ties was twelve and the greatest
twenty-three, and the weight of the
largest rattlesnake was twenty-six
pounds and four ounces. The black
snake was perfectly immense, but we
were unable to get the exact length,
as portion of his body was torn off
and thrown heavenward by hedyna-
mite. but eight feet Of this monster
still remained with his strange asso.
ciates.
