Chrysanthemuns.

Probably the most remarkable dis
play of -chrysanthemums ever seen in
this country was made in Boston during
two days of last week under auspices OF
the enterprising Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society. The local Journal at
tempted justice to the subject in report
from which we quote a paragraph that
may turn attention of lady readers to-
ward the late autumn bloomer in ques-
ton: ... .--a.i>. rri sas.. H. ,us,.
"The upper Horticultural Hall was
ablaze with the myriad, many-colored
petals of the chrysasthemum in all its
groupings aud guises, and when
the electric lights shone out
IN the evening q silvery
brilliancy was shed over all, enhancing
and lending to hues and outlines the
ylamor of a harmonious unity. The
Japanese national emblem was rarely
beheld to better advantage, and each
mammoth flower pot may be regarded a
pedestal on which it was held up for the
homage of no; ticulturists. The monster

Russia as q Grain Producer.

According to statistical accounts the
grain product of Russia is 1855, APE, 600
of imperial bushels, the most Of which
is produced in that portion called Eu-
ropean Russia. OF this product $685.
10000 bushels are used for home con-
sumption, and 100000 bushels are
exported to western Europe, England
being the. principal buyer, and to this
extent Russia is competitor of the
United States. Among the cereals cul-
tivated in Russia, rye holds the first
place in consequence of the extent of
land it occupies. Nearly all the land
devoted to winter grain is used for rye.
Only one-twentieta of the land is de-
voted to winter wheat. Oats come
next to rye in extent of land occupied,
and next spring wheat, then barley,
buckwheat. But in relative importance
in the home and foreign trade wheat
holds the first place. The extreme linn
it of growth of wheat in the north
is the sixty-third degree, but most of
the wheat is grown in the central and
southern part. The growing of winter
wheat is limited by the adaptability of
the soil to its growth. The cultivation of
wheat is far from general through the
whole country, and is probably not in
creasing faster at least than the needs OF
the population. With respect to the
quality of grain, the Russian winter
whsats are mostly s3ft-it is only in GER
tain localities and under the influence
of climatic causes and variations of the
soil that semi-hard of hard wheats are
found. 1t is noticeable fact that hard

His PRAYER.

In all the literature of sacred exper-
fence that has grown around that child's
prayer of the Christian world, "Now l
lay me down to Sleep" etc., we nave seen
few narratives more efecting than this:
It was told by the pastor of st. Johns
church, New York. Part of the wall of
of burned house he said, had fallen on
six or seven-year-old boy, and terribly
mangled him. Living in the neighbor-
hood was called in to see the stricken
household.
The little sufferer was in intense agony
Most of his ribs were broken, his breast
bone crushed, and one of his limbs frac-
tured in two places. His breathing was
short and difficult. He was evidently
dying.
I spoke few words to him of Christ,
the ever-present and precious friend Of
children, and then with his mother and
an older sister knelt before the bed.
Short and simple was our prayer. Hold.
ing the lads hand in mine, repeated
the child's gospel
"Suffer the little children to come I'M
to me, and forbid them not, for of such
Is the kingdom of heaven" He olsen
gagged his hand from mine, and folded
his. We rose from our knees. His mind
began to wander. He called his mother.
"1'm sleepy, mamma, and want to say
my prayers"
'Do SO, my darling" replied the Sob
bling mother.
Now I lay me-down-to Sleep
Pray thee Lord, my soul-to keep;-H
I-should-d-i-e'"
And then he was beyond the river of
death. On the wings of that simple
prayer, that had borne so many OF the
bis soul had sped to him that gave it. t
can see his little pale figure, with clasped
hands aud closed eyes, like sleeping
angel, before me this moment, though
more than nine years have passed since
the accident occurred.

Hon. Harrison Bailey owns COW
which, in the last four years, dropped
nine calves, three of them the present

few nights ago she got into a cornfeld
and filled herself so full of the proven

when she lay down, and nothing short
of her death was expected until neigh
Dor came along and undertook to relieve
her by plunging butcher-knife into her
flank just in front ofthe hip bone. This
failed to have the desired effect, and an
other neighbor proposed to enlarge the
hole made by the knife and remove the
food. To this the owner would not con-
sent until convinced that she would die.
any way, and then the experiment was
tried and fully six bushels of undigested
corn, cornstalks and grass, in state of
fermentation, was removed from her
paunch. The opening was then closed
and in very short time the animal was
on her feet and as contentedly chewing
her cud as if nothing had happened and
is to-day as as well as any other COW on
the place.

We have met the enemy and we are

we are now readyto listen to the gentle
man from New York. We could have
dug ont, perhaps, and explained about
New York, but when almost every state
in the union rose up and made certain
statements yesterday, we found that the
lob of explaining this matter thoroughly
would be wearisome and require a
great deal of time.
We do not blame the democracy for
this. We are little surprised, however,
and grieved. It will interfere with our
wardrobe this winter. With an over
coat on Wyoming, plug hat on Iowa, g
pair of pantaloons on Pennsylvania and
boots on the general result, it looks now
az though we would probably 60 through

We intended to publish an extra this

character that we thought we would get
along without it. What was the use OF
publishing an extra with republican
majority only in Red Buttes9
We resume our arduouS duties with a
feeling of extreme ennui, and with that
sense Of surprise and establishment that
man does who has had a large brick
biloxi fall on him when he was not ex-
pecting it. Although we feel little
lonely to-day--having met but a few
republicans on the street, who were
obliged to come out and do their mar

of an in1uiring turn ofmind. just plain
facts are good enough for us, without
any narrowing details. In the mean
time we are going to work to earn some
more money to bet on the next election.

Get the Best Tools and Take Care of
Them.

There is no place where this bit of adj
vice is of more value than in the selec-
ton of tools and implements for the
farm. A good axe, hoe, or plough is
cheaper at high price than a poor one
would be at less than half its cost. With
q good tool one can do much more work
with less expenditure of force-which
means muscle-than with poor one; SO
that it saves both ways. Besides, it
serves purpose as moral agent. You
will find much less ill-temper and pro-
family on q farm where poor tools are
discarded than on one where they are
used. When the ordinary mortal is out
of humor, whatever the cause, he is in
clined to give vent to his feelings in some
way; sometimes in action, by kick or
cuff, as any dog or boy within reach
will be able to bear witness; sometimes
by words fretful or scolding, or, if he be
given to profanity, and sometimes If not,
by an energetic expression more forci-
BILE than elegant, and best used, If at all.
