THE PEACH CRop.-Tbe prospects

too soon to prophesy, confidence is
expressed that the crop will be a good

lou is almost unanimous that the
yield will be good one. In Mary

The Young Canadian Woman and the
Courts.

A young woman lives in Canada who
believes that the commands of Holy Writ
were meant to be obeyed. She was
summoned TO testify as witness at the
Wentworth AssiZes in the Province of
Ontario. When called to the stand she
refused to takethe oath required by law,
On the ground that the bible forbade all
swearing. The court convicted her of
contempt for persisting IL her refusal,
and she was committed TO custody for
forty-eight hours as punishment.
This judicial proceeding is exceedingly
discreditable TO Christian community.
Are human beings to be cast into prison
in this century because they try to OBJ
serve the preoepts Of the sermon on the
Mount?
'I say unto you swear not at alp"
These were the words of the great
Teacher of mankind. Their meaning is
plain. People try to pervert it. The
command is inconyenient to comply
with, and so they seek q more comfort
able Interpretation. We think this
Canadian girl understands it in the trne
sense.
Judges have often said that in Christ
ianity is part of the common law. It
must be an exceedingly unimportant
part IN q country where tho law pun
ishes person for refusing to do what
Christianity forbids.

Signs or Growing Old.

Very gradually do the signs OF grow
ing old come to men. So gently does
the enemy, Time, advance upon them
that his footprints are scarcely trace
able until he confronts them, and with
his lean and wrinkled hand holds up a
mirror in which they see themselves old
and decrepit, the sands IN their glass
almost run out.
Not very long Mr.. Beecher complain
ed OF his congregation that many of his
people who wrote him letters used very
pale ink. This is sign that the great
preacher is growing old. It is the eye
that Is growing dim instead of the ink
pale. The whitening enemy always
attacks the windows of the spirit. His
victims complain of 'fbad PRINT" "pale
INK" and ''poor pens" long before they
realize that the solemn veil OF age is
falling over their faces.
How unconscious are men of the sig
niicance of the curious changes of taste
which overtake them. He who once
was fond of society, went everywhere
and enjoyed everything, sometimes re-
marks that he doesn't know what in the
world is the reason but he doesn't care a
cent about going out at night any more.
When his wife, who, perhaps, is much
the younger of the two, wants him to
go with her to the theatre or to party,
he protests good deal; declares he
would much rather stay at home, and
wonders what people always want to be
herding together in public places for.
He gets ready in in-humor and goes
reluctantly. BE doesn't enjoy it after he
gets there and wonders why. He coma
plains about the hollcwness of society
and the dangers of eating late suppers,
all the way home. He is growing old,
though he doesn't know it. His bitter
comments on what he once considered
pleasures are the tweaks of age In his
body.
Another sign is when he no longer
knows ''the boys" The companions
who rollieked with him have vanished
and no new ones have taken their places.
And again, he doesn't understand why
it is he no longer feels at home in his
old loafing haunts; the persons hemeets
there are lot congenial to him; he Won
ders often where he has seen such and
such faces; he manifests q strong dislike
to going up and down stairs; begins to
hate visiting and develops a fondness for
good fire andGght novels in large print.
These are indications of age, but, of
course, he never thinks so. Ifhe wasn't
SO enviably unconscious Of the fact, he
might sometimes see the meaning smile
which plays over the faces of his friends
when he complains of the dim light of
the gas jets in his fine house, and de-
clares that the tallow dips in the old log
cabin were better to read by.

SCIENTIFIC.

CoLoRING PRECIOUS STONES. PROF. Will
iiams has communicated to the Royal
Society, England, the results Of some
Investigations made by him of the
phenomena presented by precious
stones. The coloring matter of the
emerald, usually attributed to iron,
chromium, and organic matter, has
been one OF his points of research; he
thinks that both emeralds and beryIs
contain carbon, but that it is proba-
bly, in the form of diamond, and has
really nothing to do with the color of
the emerald, as colorless beryls may
contain as much carbon as the richest
tinted emerald, and he concludes
therefore, that the color is due, in
TACT, to the presence of chronic oxide.
Whatever may have been the temper
ature at which beryls and emeralds
were formed Prof. Williams is of
the opinion that rubies must have
originated at a very high temperature,
since, from his experiments, he has
ascertained that the peculiar reaction
between alumina and chomic oxide,
to which the red color of the ruby is
due, takes place only at q heat as
high as that Of the oxyhydrogen
flame.

Geese Herdinc,

Various methods have been devised OF
exterminating wild geese without avail,
until geese herding has become q profes-
sion as distinct as herding or trapping.
In the early winter the geese appear in
the grain counties In myriads, travelling
about IN vast focks. Their hunger is
Unsuitable, and the new wheat is rapidly
destroyed. DR.. J. 81. Glenn, whose
ranch in Colusa county covers most of
the arabic land In that county, number
ing rs, 900 acres, or nearly twelve square
miles, expends about SIC, 900 in herding
his geese. He recently purchased IN
this city between $1,000 and $1,000
worth Of cartridges, about $50, 1000 in
number, of a caiiber. He has constantly
in his employ, while his wheat is crow
ing, about forty men, all Of them mount
ed, and nearly all armed with Henry
rifles and feld-glasses, who patrol his
property during the day and on al moon
light nights
These men are regularly organized in
to a patrol guard. They discover with
their glasses the focks of geese, which
at distance Of 300 Or 400 wards look
like a white blanket spread over the
green wheat, and they thereupon plant
a bullet right N the middle of the flock.
This unexpected visitation sets the flock
on the wing, and the geese herder fol-
lows them up, keeps planting bullets
among them till they rise to great
height, and, disguised, leave the vicin-
ity. Few geese are killed, the object be-
ing to keep them on the wing, and con-
seqUently off the wheat fields. Those
that are killed are carried Off and shorn
of their feathers, but the revenue from
them amounts to little. On DR.. Glenn's
ranch about 5000 cartridges are used IN
@ day, which represents about 10000
geese daily put TO fight.
Oftentimes thick fog blows in, and
this appears to be the favorite time for
the geese, and they devorE the wheat
with great energy. The herders then.
fearful of shooting each other, are al
most bafied, but when the fog rises the
flock are put to flight, and for hours
thereafter the air Is filed with feath-
ers and geese, and Glenn's ranch
resounds with the clatter OF rifles
and the frightened cries of the prosecuted
fowls. To pay his men, buy ammuni-
ton and maintain horses costs DR.. Glenn
some SIC, 900 per annum, but it saves
his wheat, which yields 100000, as
without the geese herders half would be
destroyed. The herders become very
expert In their business, and are gener-
ally good shots and capital hersemen.

Making Eyelashes Longer

''Long eyelashes are Ii favor" said a
woman hairdresser. The dash of orien-
talism in costumes and laces turns the
thoughts of young women to dropping
eyelashes. [ have several customers
now whose eyelashes are under my care.
[ have q contract to make them long,
One customer, an actress in tragedy I
suspect, insists that [ shall transform
her eyelids into fringed curtains"
''How do you make eyelashes longer?',,
"Wfth the tiniest pair of scissors trim
the lashes very slightly, and anoint the
roots with saive made of two drachms
ointment Of nitric oxide Of mercury and
one drachm of lard. The lard and oint-
ment are we'll mixed, and after an apph-
cation camel's hair brush is used to
wash the roots with warm milk and
water. TIE eyes are apt to be infamed
if the lady tries to use the ointment her
self. City women have lack-lustre eyes,
which are greatly improved by the
elongation Of eyelashes. The most
powerful stimulant is decoction made
of the leaf of South American shrun. I"

SUPERsEDURE OF SILK.-The extern
sive eupersedure Of silk by other fa-
brics, in England, of late, is remarked
upon by the British Trade Journal,
which attributes the change in this
respect to the fact that some two or
three years ago. when raw silk had
been forced UP to a very high price,
the French dealers introduced a sys-
tenn Of buying only the very finest
sizes of silk yarn, getting twelve
ounces loaded by dying up to forty
ounces, this being done by dipping in
cutch and logwood over and over
again, precisely as in the process of
dipping a candle of tallow. Silks Of
this description, though in appear
ance we'll got up, were so rotted and
made so tender by the chemicals en-
ployed, that they could not possibly
wear, and they went into cracks and
holes, like burnt black paper, and
the natural consequence was the sub
stitution, on a very extensive scale, Of
other and more durable wearing ma
terials.

TEE best kind Of paper is the class
known as wove, and not as is COM
monty presumed, the laid paper, as it
is termed. It is found that varnish
formed of Canadian balsam, dissolved
in turpentine, supplies most valua-
BILE means of making paper transpar-
Ient- The mode by which this is most
satisfactorily accomplished is by ap-
plying D pretty thin coating of this
varnish to the paper, SO as to perme-
ate it thoroughly, after which it is to
be coated on both sides with much
thicker sample. The paper is kept
warm by performing the operation
before q hot fire, and a third or even
d fourth coating may be applied, un-
til the texture of the paper is seen to
merge into q homogeneous translu-
cency. Paper prepared according to
this process is said to come nearer
than any other to the highest stand
ard Of perfection in transparent
paper.

LINING BOILERS WITH CoppER.-M.
Pupka, of Vienna, has published an
account Of his experiments in lining
steam boilers with sheets of copper
III order to hinder incrustation. He
states that of the three plates which
formed the bottom of a locomotive
boiler, the two at the ends were
covered with a sheet of copper
O.04 inches in thickness, the middle
one being left bare, and the machine
was used steadily for two years, and
in districts where the water is of ex-
cessiyely bad quality. On removing
the tubes layer of incrustation four
inches thick was found on the iron
surface, while q deposit varying from
only 0.0S to 0.12 inch thick appeared
on the copper. The iron also was
found corroded in many places to q
depth of 0.02 inch, but the copper had
remained perfectly clean and bright.
M. Pupka states that the texture of
the incrustation showed grains of a.
larger size on the iron than on the
copper.

Pioneer Christianity.

Early n the history of Nebraska
there was spirit ofreiigious intolerance
In the neighborhood of Fremont that
made the warfare OF the pioneer Christian
q red hot combat at times.
The Germans of Fremont got q
preacher who could round up the sinner
IN two different languages. He spoke
equally well in English or German, and
IN order to eyade deadly war among
the members OF his fold, he used to be-
seech the people to fee from the wrath
to come alternately IN English and
German.
At last, however, those who preferred
the German gospel thought they were
In the majority, and asked that the i'm
ported variety OF salvation be used alto
gether.
This created o feeling on the part of
those who were paying their money for
a Yankee sermon bi-weekly, and for q
time Zion Ianguished.
The following Sunday the sermon,
according to schedule, was to be deliv-
cred N English, but after singing ''Jesus
Lover of Ny Soul, and offering short
prayer, the pastor turned loose with an
earnest and fearful appeal in the Ger
man language, which about one half of
the congregation couldn't understand q
word OF.
They sa5 there q few moments, till
they saw that the preacher had declared
himself in favor of the other side, and
then there was music by the entire
choir.
The congregation had prepared for an
emergency Of this kind, and every man
had cottonwood club under his coat
tails. When the tocsin OF war sounded
the destructive hoe handle and con-
.ceaied bed-slaS came TO the front.
It was about the first free-for-ali fight
In the West that ever opened with
prayer.
An old Inan who lived down the track,
and who was on probation, had his nose
nose shattered by blow from ''Songs
OF the Sanctuary" and school teacher
who had recently experienced change
of heart, got clip under the ear with
the organ stool
Finally the German element got the
bulge On the English speaking portion
of the congregation, and peace perched
upon their banner.
The vanquished Yankees went home
and after the wreck had been straight
ened out 3 little, the house went into
executive session. and after that the man
who couldn't lead different life in the
German language, found it pretty lone
some attending divine Worship In that
Sanctuary.

German Vital Statistics.

Vital statistics have made some inter-
esting disclosures in Germany concern
ing the comparative vitality of children
under various methods of feeding. Thus.
Of 100 children r1lrsed by their mothers
only 1872 died during the first year; of
those nursed by wet nurses, 29.33 died !;
of those artificially fed. 60 died, and of
those brought up in institutions, 80 died
to the 100. Again, taking 1000 we'll
to-do persons and 1000 poor persons,
there renamed Of the prosperous after
5 years, 943, while of the poor only 655
remained alive; after 80 years there re-
NAMED of the prosperous 557, and only
2S3 of the poor; at 20 years of age there
remained Of the prosperous 235, and but
65 Of the poor. The total average life
among the well-off class was found to be
so years as against 80 among the poor.

How To Beautify A Home.

Almost everybody knows what re-
lief to the eyes q little spray Of green is
in winter. The wealthy can indulge III
expensive conservatories, but those in
moderate circumstances, and even the
very poor, can secure pretty object at
q small expense by following the direc-
tions given. To begin with, an acorn,
which any little urchin can procure in
the woods, and pickle jar, which any
housekeeper can supply. Procure a fine
healthy acorn, and crochet aroune it
little network case. Take off the cup
first and leave loop of the cotton to
hang the acorn point downward in the
glass. The glass must have SO much
water in it that the tip of the acorn
scarcely TOUGHER; keep it in dark place
until it has sprouted, and then put it in
the light. 4 chestnut thus kept in water
will sprout in the same way. A sweet
potato will grow luxuriantly, and may
be trained around walls and picture
frames. A carrot grown in sand is, il
we'll managed, a highly ornamental
object. A goodsized and healthy root
must be selected. Cut off quite evenly
tie top Of the carrot and place it on the
tOD Oi pO0 CA cet1u, OO th6V OlI0
leaves look as if they spring from it.
Moisten It well, and keep in the dark
until it has begun to sprout; be careful
to keep it damp, and move into the light
directly the leaves appear.
IF the cultivation is successful, an
ornament pretty enough for any room
will be the result, and which will have
to the unacquainted the appearance of q
pot of ferns. Another experiment may
be made with u tUrnip, which must be
as sound as possible. Clean the outside,
taking care not to iniure the part from
whence the leaves spring. Cut piece
off the bottom, and SCOOP out the in
side, so that you have hollow cup;
fasten string or wire to it, so that it can
be hung up. FIJI the cavity and keep it
filed with water In q short time the
leaves will begin to sprou5. and viii curl
mp round the ball of the turnip, forming
a pretty little hanging basket.
Children can be made to interest them
selves in such experiments which will
be found an easy method of intoxicating
taste and refinement; besides, each and
all point out their own botanical lesson,
and much is to be learned by careful
and patient observation and experiment.
