War Prizes.

Admiral Seymour receives a peerage for
knocking Alexandria into shapeless ruins,
and General Wolseley gets another for scat
tering Arab Pasha's half-armed Fellahin
away from their bitches at Tel el Kebir.
After celebrating the praises Of the Prince
of Peace for ages, there is no other road to
human rewards 80 sure as that OF war. A.
hundred aud fifty years ago John Churchill
became great captain, won the victories of
Malplaques, Romaillies and Blenheim from
the captives of the "Grande Monarche," t"
and his grateful country made him the Duke
of Marlboro, built him the palace of Ben-
helm, bestowed upon him the manor of
Woodstock, once royal abode, and awarded
him princely revenues. Nearly generation
later Arthur Wellesley had the good fortune
to help arrest the career of Bonaparte, for
which he was created Duke of Wellington,
styled the "Iron Duke" and houored as
England had never before honored one of
her servants. A few years ago General Ma
pier took Magdala in Abyssinia and was
made baron. In our country we have
more than once elected our successful gen.
erals TO the presidential chair, though they
were utterly without civil experience. Cen
eral Washington was a civilian as we'll as a
general the same is true of Jackson and
Harrison, but Taylor and Grant were elected
solely on their military records and both

will pay. 1t is also good plan to board up
the front of the stock with wide doors on
level with their heads, to be raised when
necessary, and boards to drop at the feeding
places. In this way the rooms where the
stock is tied can be closed at night, and will
be found to be several degrees warmer In
the morning than the rest Of the barn.
Proper ventilation should always be pro-
vided Keep the cattle in doors as much as
possible during very cold weather Have
water as near TO the barn as possible, and al
ways have IL in sheltered place, so that the
stock need not be needlessly exposed while
drinking. When we'll is near the barn,
as 1t always should be, IL is well TO carry
water to the stock on very stormy days,
when II can be done without great incon-
yenience. It will prevent much exposure.
Strange as 1t may seem, some farmers still
persist in feeding cattle in the barnyard on
the coolest days. Don't do 1t. 1t is wasting
fodder, in double sense, shrinking your
cattle, and subjecting them to needless suf-
fering. They are just as sensitive to the
cold as you are. Keep the doors shut in
cold weather. know Of farmers who have
good, tight, warm barns, who keep the doors
open for hours at time in the coolest
weather. They are opened in the early morn
ing to admit the light, $50 that cents worth
of kerosene may be saved in two or three
days), and are kept open needlessly through
out the day. The air outside of tight
barn on cold day is much colder than it is
inside, and the open doors admit thisc old
air, and lower The temperature inside of the
barn. Test this matter with a thermometer,
and if you have any regard for your stock or
wish to be economical with your fodder, you
will keep the doors closed, unless they ad-
init the sunlight and tend to warm the in
side air. Provide good warm quarters for
the fowls. Give warm food and all they
will eat. Where whole grain is fed, warm
it, and not allow them to fill their crops
with an icy cold substance which will take
much warmth from their bodies. Give
warm drink and plenty of it. Many persons
have no idea of the amount of drink that
they need. Give them chance to sun
themselves in pleasant weather, so that they
may get thorough warming. Just watch
them and see how they will enjoy it. Fowls
treated in this way will be likely to be Of
some profit, and in many cases where they
are Improbable, it is simply because they
are neglected and allowed to suffer. Pro-
vide plenty of good dry fuel for your fires,
and see to it that it is well housed. 1t is
astonishing that some farmers will neglect
this matter, and are forever cursed with
green wood, which has, perhaps, to be dug
out of the snow. If any such chance 10 read
this, would urge them to do better in the
future. Turn over the leaf now. Get some
dry wood to begin with, and then hard wood
during the winter so that there may be a
years supply ahead Then put it under
cover. Do these things and your women
folks will rise up and call you blessed"

Fruit Glace or Candied Fruit.

Make a syrup of cup of water, cup Of
granulated sugar, and the juice of one lemon.
Boil one-half hour, never stirring, in little
porcelain-lined kettle. Put little of the
syrup into a saucer of cold water, to see if it
is hard and brittle. If so, pour all the syrup
into small dish and set it in pan of boil
ing water to keep it liquid. Dip into it
cherries, grapes, punches of currants, slices
Of citron or any other fruit, not forgetting
oranges, divided into their natural sections,
and English walnuts. Coat them thorough
ly with the syrup, and place them on a but
tered paper or dish to harden the glace.
Any fruit that has not stem should be
dipped in the hot syrup by means of a
skewer, in order to save the fingers, and
cover the fruit very completely. Ripe
peaches are very nice thus iced, as well as
plums and pineapple. This makes pretty
and cheap dessert, and takes only short
time to prepare.-Aunt Addie.

old, true sense, a more gentle thing to follow
good handicraft, if it make the hands

keeping books aud making up accounts,
though therein the hands remain white.
Not but that, from higher point of view
still, all work set by God and done divinely,

choice, / would gladly see a boy Of mine
choose rather to be blacksmith, or watch

Production-making- a higher thing in
the scale of reality than mere transmission,
such as buying and selling. 1t is, besides,
easier to do honest work than to buy and
sell honestly.-George Mac Donald.

Hints for Cold Weather.

Under the above title writer in the
Home Farm calls attention to the following
matters which some of our readers may thank
US for reminding them of at this tune.
The writer says " See to it that the barns
and stables are made as warm as possible.
Stop up all of the cracks with battens or
shingles. 1t is better to have the walls well
shiugled or clapboarded, but good battens
will answer very well for time. Open
cracks admit great amount of cold, and
cold barns cause stock to consume an extra
amount of fodder or to shrink, hence there
is waste of fodder or loss on the stock.
Make the walls as tight as possible, and
when it will exclude the cold air, banking

BROTHER BARTHOLOMEW.

Brother Bartholomew, working-time,
Would fall into muslng and drop hls tools;
Brother Bartholomew cared for rhyme
More than for theses Of the schools
For gain or losing, for veal or woe.
God made him poet, long ago.
At mathis he sat, his book on his knees,
And his thoughts were wandering far, wis
The brotherhood chanted the lltanies,
While he had no praying 10 do but this
Watching through arched windows high
The birds that sailed DER the morning sky.
At complln hour in the chapel dim,
He went to his stall and knelt with the rest;
And oft, on the wings OF the evening hymn,
Would bis soul float out to nights fair breast,
And ever TO him the starry host
Flamed bright rs the tongue at Pentecost.
"a foolish rhymester, and nothing more,
The idle fellow a cell can hold,"

Prior Of ancient Nlthlswold,
Yet somehow, with dlspralse content,
Signed not the culprlt's banishment
Meanwhile bartholomew went his way,
And patiently wrote In his sunny cell;
Ills pen fast Travelled from day to day,
His books were covered, the walls as we'll

STORING FRUIT.-Those who have been
in the loose practice of storing their winter
fruit in cellars in which miscellaneous gar
den vegetables are placed, should adopt as
soon as possible the improvement of making
for the fruit separate apartment, which is
to contain nothing else In some instances
this may be effected by simply running a
single brick wall eight inches thick across
the cellar, and hanging the windows so as
to allow easy ventilation. If the bottom is
too wet, make floor of water-lime cement.
A Thermometer costing fifty cents will show
just how cold to keep this room in winter.
Stored and managed as we have described
on former occasions, good winter apples
will keep into Country Gentleman.

CHRISTIAN farmers, hear word of ex-
hortation. Do not credit your own wisdom
and energy, your plows, harrows, harvesters
and manure piles with all the good crops,
and charge Gods providence with all the
failures. If God did not do more work in
your fields and take more care of them than
you do there would never be harvest. Aud
then your own energy and sagacity are Gods
gift. Who made your brains and arms
Be humble and thankful. And be co.work-
ers with God in his work, as he is with you
in yours.
