MrsERIus OF A MEAN MAN.

Sometimes | wonder what a mean
man thinks about when he goes to
bed. When be turns out the light
and lies down. Wheo the darkness
closes in about him and he is alone,
and compelled to be honest with
himself. And not bright thought,
not a generous. impulse, not
manly act, not q word OF bless
ing, not a grateful look, comes t.
bless bin again. Not penny drop
ped into the outstretched palm o.
poverty, nor tho balm of loving
word dropped into an aching heart
no sunbeam of encouragement cast
uyon struggling life the strong
right hand of fellowship reached ont
to help some fallen man to his feet
when of theae things come to him
as the God bless VOC of the de-
parted day, how he must hate him
self. How he must try to roll away
from himself and sleep on the other
side of the bed. When tho only
victory be can think Of is some
mean victory, in which hc has
wronged a neighbor. No wonder
he always sneers when he tries to
smile. How pure and fair aud
good all the rest OF the world mus,
look to him, and how cherries and
dusty and dreary must his own path
appear. Why, even one lone, $50
lated act of meanness is enough to
scatter cracker crumbs in the bed of
the average ordinary man, aud what
must be the feelings a man whose
whole life is given up to mean acts J
When there is so much suffering
and heartache and misery in the
world, anyhow, why should you add
one pound of wickedneas or sadness
to the general burden 7 Don't be
mean, my boy. Suffer injustice a
thousand times rather than commit
it once.

SLEEPING WITH sERPENTs.

Professor Bell, the Smithsonian

THE DISCIPLINE OF FAILURE.

The man who never failed ia a
myth, Such one never lived, and
is never likely to. All success is
series of efforts, 10 which when
closely viewed, are seen more or
less failures. The mountain is apt
to overthrow the hill, but the hill is
a realty, nevertheless. If you fail

Bear in mind it is only the part and

known popularity as 'thollow horn" is
as follows: The most CONSPICUOUS symp-
tom is a general low fever, with heat or

The membranes of the head are longest
ed or infamed. and there is often dis
charge from the nose. The first treat
ment consists 81 brisk cooling purga-
tive, such as one pound Of EPSON salts,
If the horns and ears are hot and the
muzzle dry; if the horns are cold and the
nose is moist, q quart of inseed-ol
should be given and turpentine should
be freely rubbed about the roots of the
horns and the ears. After the purgative,
in either case warm gruels of linseed or
bran should be given. with : teaspoon
full of ginger, and the animal should be
well nnrsed. A tarry stick should be

Of all the variety of growths that can
be utilized as "greens," there is nothing
which has gained and kept the place Of
spinach. Planted in the spring as early
as the snow is off and the ground can be
worked, it natures crop in from six to
eight weeks; it can be cut Immediately
ard give place to other crops. For these
reasons it is a desirable crop to raise. It
require. soil naturally fertile, and one
that has been thoroughly MANFRED for at
least three consecutive years, and should
have heavy coat of manure soaked into
the soil before sowing. The seed should
be planted thickly in rows, one foot
apart; should be hoed and kept clear of
weeds till large enough to gather, which
is best done by cutting the plant off just
below the ground with knife or hoe,
taking care not to cut so high as to cut
the plant in two. The root does not
sprout the second time. The Savoy
Leaved," is good kind to plant, having
thick leaf and growing to good size.
The prickly seeded spinach is no longer
planted in this vicinity by gardeners,
as the round seeded varieties have
proved to be equal if not superior
in all respects. Spinach planted in
succession every two weeks will give
. crop till the first week in
July, when early cabbages and other
vegetables take its place on the table and
in the market. The hot weather is un-
favorable to its growth, as it has ten
dency to run up to seed in the hot months.
Later, the seed can be sown for fall and
winter, beginning the first of August,
the last planting being about September
Is. Seed sown after that time will not
always make sufficiently strong and
vigorous plant to withstand the winter.
Spinach covered lightly when the first
snow comes, with poor hay, cornstalks,
straw, leaves, or better still with hem
lock boughs, will keep green and be
ready to cut at any time when the snow
leaves the ground and the thaw has
lossened the top soil so knife can be
got under the plant. lis the most popu-
lar market greens known, and by care
and management can be had continu-
ously through the market season. and
can be even cut and slowed so that q
supply can be had while the snow is upon
the ground, as it win keep from four to
eight weeks in cellar where tempera-
ture between thirty-two or forty degrees
can be maintained.
The profits of the crop vary, but as it
is salable in large quantities, and in case
of failure the land can be Immediately
planted to some other crop, the risk is
trifiing. Cor. Germantown Telegraph
