A Young woman from the country

hunt up clergyman. The young
woman wanted TO be married in church
and an Episc pal clergyman cons Mt

this plan she would not consent. She
wanted hard shell Baptist, but ~as
finally persuaded. Ga cpterins the
church and seeing the minister in
robes, however. the Young woman re-

as kicking She broke away, ran out
of the church and refused TO be mar

search began again. But at this June
ture the travelling man, who was tired
of running all over the town, objected.
but was finally PERSUADED to call upon
a young preacher holding protracted
meeting. He got him outside only to
ieo' IL mat Iile preacher ds not OTdSIh-
ed and could not perform the ceremony.
Then the travelling man, it being near
y midnight, declined to bulge at all;
but the business man said he must BE-

HOW People Walk.

Careless. people are forever stubbing
their toes.
Unstable people walk fast and slow
by turns.
Fan loving people have kind OF
Jig movement.
One-idea persons, and always very
selfish ones, toe in
Cross people are very apt To bit the
knees together,
Good natured persons soap their
fingers and thumbs every 'eS steps
Modest persons gene ally step very
swiftly for fear of being Observed
Calculating people genernlly walk
with their bands in their pockets and
their heads slightly inclined.
Lazy people scrape loosely with the
feet, and are first on one side of the
walk and then on the other.
Very strong minded people place
their toes directly in front of them
and have kind Of stump movement.
Wide awake persons toe ont and
have long swing of their arms, while
the hands move about miscellaneously
Timid persons often step off the side
walk on meeting another, and always
60 around the stone, instead of step
ping over it.
Observing persons move slowly:
their heads move alternately from side
to side, while they occasionally stop
and turn aronnd.
Careful persons lift their feet high
and place them down slowly, and pick
up some little obstruction and place
it quietly by the side of the walk.

An Aged Ministers Wit.

A meeting of Baptist ministers held
in New York was opened with prayer
by Father Stimson of Kansas. Father
Stlmson is so years old, and has
preached for fifty years. Stories are
told of him in which those who ex-
pected to raise a laugh at the old
Dominic found the tables turned
against themselves in the most unex-
pected manner. One runs as follows:
Father Stimson owned good horse,
but the keeping of the beast was
somewhat of a drain on the Dominica
pocket, and he was in the habit of
dropping hint to his parishioners
once in while that little hay would
be acceptable. One day church mem
Der asked him to bring Mrs. Stimson
to dinner.
Certainly said Father Stimson,
and as it's haying time, | guess I'll
put some hay on the wagon when go
back home
'All right, Father replied the
|church member, but bring one horse
wagon
Father Stimson took his wife to sup
per In wagon with ample hayrick
that ould hold haystack.
See here, said the parishioner as he
helped Mrs. Stimson out Of the hay
rick, you said you were going to bring
! one-horse wagon, and now you've APP
oeared with the most capacious hay
apparatus | ever saw
oh, I've brought the one horse
wagon said Father Stimson, but the
hayrick-that's two horse hayrick
He drove away after supper with
1900 pounds of hay.
Father Stimson WAS the first to use
Gospel tents in the West. lie put them
up himself. A fellow who passed him
one morning as he was hard at work
IN his tent called to him in Il loud
voice:
''Hullo there. Are you going to
have circus?'
Yes said the pre- cher, continuing
work without looking up, and I'm
looking for baboon. Don't you want
to hire yourself to ME p
The preacher was chaplain in the
Ninth New York Calvary in the war.
The colonel was fond of leading the
soldiers through deep puddles at the
regular drill, and the chaplain one day
rode around the puddle, and thereby
fell out Of the regular order. The
colonel noticed it, and. at the close Of
the drill, when the officers came to-
gether, said with a sneer;
IF Captain Stimson is afraid to ride
through muddy water for fear Of soil
ing his clothing, will carry him across
the puddles myself
Thank you,' the chaplain said; but
as the government provides horses, |
don't see any reason why should ride
on a jack.ss.

Wintering the Cabbages.

1t :-'sed to be thought necessary to
store cabbages in a cellar, or in some
kind of pit, method of wintering
now rarely followed The usual way
of keeping them is to select dry
place, if the bed where they grow was
not so, and place the aabbages heads
downward. They are sometimes plac-
ed close together in a single row, run
ming across the bed or field, and fur
VOW thrown up to them on either side
The more common method is to Law
them down to form bed s feet wide,
and by the use of the pillow and shovel
cover the heads and part of the
s.umps. The Savoys, with their curled
and wrinkled leaves, do not keep so
we'll las the Drumheads, when laid
downed in this way. For those a
ridge may be thrown up with the pillow
and the cabbages laid against it, heads
up; earth is plowed to the roots, and
thrown in to partly cover the stumps.
When cold weather comes, the heads
are to be covered with cornstalks, leaves
or other litter. Neither of these me-
t.lods allows head or two to be read
lily taken for use. 1t is well to have
the family supply in some place near
at hand. # there is an unused pit or
coId-frame, the cabbages may be set
in them upright, and covered with
shutters, or with straw or leaves. A
trench may be dug and used in the
same manner. Those who like cab
bage greens, should prepare for them,
by gathering up the stulnps from
which the heads have been cut, and
covering them with earth against
ridge, or otherwise give them partial
protection. They are less hardy than
the heads, and will not grow we'll if
exposed all winter to the weather.

Selection of a Farm.

The size of farm should be suited
to the capacity of the pocket-book.
Many young farmers make the mis-
take Of buying large farm with little
money to pay for it. There is moth
ing that so binds man as a heavy
mortgage. It eats the very heart out
of the farmer, and hangs like leaden
weight upon every aspiration of his
wife and children. 1t is better to buy
a small farm and have enough capital
to work it well. AS the surplus in
creases, it may bs invested in more
acres, or in better culture Of thost
that have already proved profitable.
There is a size below which many OF
tie economies of the farm can not be
practised to the best advantage, and
on the other hand there is danger Of
going beyond that acreage where the
most profitable farming may be car
ried Oh. 1t requires considerable ex-
ecutive ability to manage large
farm, and therefore many men are ex-
cluded from such by lack which
they may not fully appreciate until
the trial has been made and the failure
recorded. Farming is not like the
taking of a citadel, and can not be
done successfully with a rush and a
noise. It is a thoughtful and steady
working out from we'll laid plans
conquest for crops, and the head must
be clear that wins where the seat of a
campaign for lifetime covers town
ships or even square miles The soil
is the foundation of farming, and it
should be fitted to the kinds of crops
that it is desired to raise. The differ
ences in the nature and capacities Of
sand and clay should be understood,
and a favorable mixture of the two
obtained if there is an opportunity for
choosing. A rich soil, with proper
management, means good crops at
once, but it may be as profitable to in
vest much less in an equal area Of
oyercropped land, bring it up to a
high state Of cultivation by green
manuring and other methods of re-
storation. The farm house is to BE-
the home Of the family, and therefore
the locality for the farm should be
lealthful. The richest land for the
price may be on the border of mala-
ria-breeding swamp but the profits of
the investment may be more than
balanced by the doctors bills aud loss
OF time, not to mention the discomfort
Of fevers in the hou ehold. 1t is i'm
portant that there be an abundant
water supply Oh all farms, both for
the family and the livestock. There
are social considerations that no far
mer should overlook in making a
choice of farm. He lives not to him.
self alone; the children need the
privileges ofgood schools, ETC.; in short
the community should be one in which
sympathy, goodness and intelligence
prevail.
With a good farm Of proper size
BEAUTIFULLY located, abundantly sup
piled with water, good neighbors, and
q handy market, any man is so well
situated that he ought to make him
self and those around him happy
Choose we'll, and hold on to the choice.

Water Power of Niagara.

The water power Of Niagara will
undoubtedly be utilized at no di-
tant day. 1t is thought practicable to
have three turbine wheels, each about
TIRE e and a half feet in diameter, util-
izing q TAIL of eight feet by means of a
pipe eight feet in diameter. Each
If the three turoiues would be of
1000 horse power, and since the sup
ply Of water would be that of the great
lakes it would be practically mex
hau>tibe e. Calculations of The power
of the falls OF Passaic, at Paterson, N
j., show 1000 horse power; of the
Me1Iimac, at Lowell, 10. 600 Of tA.a
Mohawk, IA, 900; OF the Connecticut
1900; Of the Androscoggin, ii 600 %
the Mississippi at st. Authopy's Fails,
l5 0o0. The total force of these falls
represents rs, 600 horse power, and as
each might be made to do at least
double work, it may be set down as IN
all 225 600 horse power. As an equal
amount. of energy might be drawn
from the smaller rivers in the noun
famous regions, the total available ny
draulic force Of the United States may
be set down as no less than 500, 600
horse mower. That Niagara and olher
waterfalls In America viii be utilized
for machinery theso cau be littly
doubt; itis only a question of time.

The Soothing Panacea.

IL is easy enough to win a husband.
Most any attractive little dumping
with a bright eye and a ~coaxing voice
can gather in a noble husband, but it
is Iretty difficult to retain him.
Noble husbands are thicker than hair
on a dog, but the grand difficulty Is to
draw out their true nobility and Sc
cure 1t at home.
If the wife only understands her
business she can intro luce the sooth
ing racket in her new field of oper :
tons and walk away with the whole
business. Most men like to be loved
and soothed. Tntre is something in

The Largest Arsenal in

The greatest manu- factOTy store
house of canuons and wal material is
WOolwich Arsenal, England. 1t has
within its enclosure 2Sj acres of land,
of which some l6D acres are covered
with buildings. When in full opera
lon it employs about 10, coo persons
The amount OF ammunition stored
there is immense, ana cannon can be
counted by the hundred. In the store
house a stock of 20 600 cavalry saddles
are kept constantly on hand, with a
corresponding amount Of horseshoes,
nails, balters, ira es, collars, harness,
for transportation trains, etc. One of
the most interesting sights is themanu-
tacture of riled cannon, the many
processes OF which are going on in diff
ferent shops all the time. These range
in size from three-pouuders to one
hundred tonners, and the machinery
required TO make and handle them is
very heavy, the largest forging ham
mers having 600 tons force. The steel
coils OF The cannon are made from
steel bars, The largest of which are
300 feet long and a foot thick, These
are cHiled in a spiral by a heavy but
nicely. working machine, and are
welded together by the heavy ham
mtrs as perfectly as an ordinary piece
of iron in a black5uitA's shop and
with comparatively few blows. The
machinery used is ONE of the best in
England, and much OF it was made IN
Manchester. One lathe room has over
an acre space, closely filled In with
2 900 lathes, and a busy sight it is to
