Bri StOl Meeting.

The board of agriculture met at the M
f. church at Bristol on the 14th instant,
was called to order ut >, Z. NJ, by e. A,
Hasseltine who WAS elected chairman and
Mr.. I. w. Moves secretary.
NJ. w. Davis, member OF the board was
introduced and gave an interesting address
on the wastes Of the farm.
This was followed 10y "n animated
discussion.
Mr.. N. II, Hinman asked where we
could get full blood Durham stock.
Mr.. Durfec asked if the full bloods were
best
The full bloods can be obtained in M; inc
but are not the best.
Mr.. Henry Lane gave his address upon
Rotation of crops"
This was followed by Il discussion upon
manures. Some thought one half their
value lost by evaporation, others that little
or nothing was lost.
Wednesday evening there was fine
audience assembled, the majority being
farmers and their wifes.
The exercises opened with song from
quartette of male voices composed of
Messrs. Farr, Kent, Hass seltine and Peck
ham.
Prof Sabin was then introduced and
read fine paper on fertilizers and fertil-
lzing. The relation of chemistry to agri-
culture is very close. The baker knows
II flour. yeast, etc, are mixed together
In certain proportions and certain things
done, bread will be the result; but the
farmer should know all about the nature
OF his soil and feed it with the right kind
of food for his crops. Everything NAV be
in the soil but one thing and the plant
would not have more than tenth of one
per cent of that essential in its composition
yet the plant would not grow because of
1t. 1t would be waste to feed the soil |
with anything but that one essential thing.
The science of agriculture depends upon
one principle. Soil is the receptacle for
the material of which the plant is made,
tic also advised farmers to buy feed for
their stock if they did not ouy their
fertilizer, as this was the next best thing to
DO. A farm can not be kept up with the
barn manure. as all that is taken from the
soil is not returned. lie did not think il
pest 10 buy the fertilizers, paving the
their large profits, but
armers could buy their own materials
md make their own fertilizers for less
money.
A selection was then given by the quar-
cite, after which Z. A. Iiasseltine made n
ew remarks, saying although he had not
made any extensive experiments, yet he
vas satisfied from what he had done that
commercial fertilizers did not pay him.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.-In the majority
of homes in this country the husband and
wife must work. 1t is for tho family and
for the common good, and should be not
only without harm to either of them, but
positive good to both. A good deal of
thoughtfulness on the part of the husband
and large disregard of Mrs Grundy by
both husband and wife. should 90 far to
relieve the matter. The work of the
husband is outside. 1t takes him into
daily contact with his fellow men. He is
at the village store, at the post office, at
the blacksmith shop, at the grist mill.
His work varies with seasons, and it is
carried on amid the songs of birds and the
soueh of the wind. He must sometimes
bide the storm, also.
The toll of the wife is an unvaryinc
round. Little children are born, but the
work goes on all the same, with the added
labor that each child brings But if with
this there could be an occasional outing"
a genuine appreciation of her work and
sympathy expressed for her in its
performance, and a generous sharing OF
the common gain or income. it would
greatly relieve the ledium and care of the
work that devolves on her, Woma11's s

TIE SHORT STATURE OF Japanese
Doubtless had not the long centuries of
seclusion from the outside world compelled
the Japanese TO marry and intermarry
among themselves as they have, they
would show much taller race than they
now do. Every species of animal life is
dwarfed from the same cause OF inter
breeding. The horses are much smaller
than the California mustang; in fact they
can only be called ponies. There may,
perhaps be yet another cause for the
short stature of the race Their internecive
wars have destroyed the lives of myriads
of the fighting population. 1t is known
that the wars of Napoleon served to
shorten the stature OF the French people
very materially, and doubtless the de.
struction of life caused by war has effected
the same result here. The japanese are
a warlike race, and when they fight they
fight to kill, using the most effective
edged tools ever made fo' the trade of
war.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Glass veneer is coming into common
use rapidly. This veneer is made to
initiate costly woods. stone. marble. etc,
and can be made, at mere trife as
compared with the original article, and to
a degree of perfection which would battle
an expert in deciding whether or not the
original material was under the glass
surface. The colors are chemically pre-
pared and arc applied to the glass with
great rapdity by means of mechanism.
After the colors are applied, the glass is
submitted to process of annealing, the
heat to which it is subjected varying from
200 to 800 degrees. By this process the
colors are burned jim with indelible effect
and are made unfading, while the glass is
made stronger. 1t is further strengthened
by backing of stone enamel, the result
being the production OF plates which,
when properly placed will withstand any
usage that would be withstood successfully
by wood, stone. or iron.

A TRADE-A close observer remarks
that he has interrogated many hundreds
of the inmates of police stations, and as a
rule they answer mo" when asked Have
you tradeP' A trade does not necessa-
rily shield men from crime, but it is one
of the safeguards. Idleness begets crime;
and but few men with good trades have
enforced idleness upon their hands. As
rule. even rich men should teach their
sons either trade or a profession. Every
man should have something to drop back
upon in adversely. Men of means and
wisdom have sent their sons TO the country
to learn behind the plow the noble and
honest business of a farmer. .--Chicaqo

| SAMUEL De CHANPLAIN.-After all
there is no immortality more secure thar
to have stamped on ones name on the map
and that of Champlaln will be forever
associated with the beautiful lake which
he first described, and to which the French
missionaries vainly attempted to attach
another name. Champain was a French
man of good family, who had served in
the army, and had, indeed, been from his
childhood familiar with scenes of war,
because he had dwelt near the famous
city of Rochelle, the very hot bed of the
civil strife between Catholics and Hugue.
nots. Much curiosity existing ia France
in regard to the great successes of Spain
in America, he obtained naval employ
ment in the Spanish service, and visited,
as commander of a ship, the Spanish.
American colonies. This was in 1899. and
he wrote report on the condition Of all
these regions-a report probably fuller
than anything else existing ut that time,
inasmuch as the Spaniar3s Systematically
concealed the details of their colonial
wealth. Little did they know that they
had in the humble French captain of the
Saint Julian an untiring observer, who
would reveal to the acute mind of Henry
the Fourth of France many of the secrets
of Spanish domination, and would also
disgust the French mind with pictures of
the fanaticism of their rivals. In his
report he denounced the cruelty of the
Spaniards, described the way in which
they converted the Indians by the Inquisi-
tion, and made drawings of the burnings
of heretics by priests. His observations

CHINESE LABORERS. There is mis-
taken notion in the east that the Chinese
are always humble and submissive, and
much put upon and abused by the whites
of the Pacific coast. There was Il time
when the hoodums of San Francisco NAL
treated the Asiatic immigrants shamefully,
but that time has gone by. Now the
Chinaman appears to be rs secure in his
rights of person and property as any body.
Instead of being deferential and timid be
is often pushing and insolent. He does
not give way in the street. He hustles
you as rudely as an English navy. A
body OF Chinese laborers marching down
narrow street will crowd ladies into the
gutter. The chinese merchants, doctors
and others belonging to the better classes
are as polite as Frenchman, but the masses
of the Chinese population on the Pacific
coast are rude and brutal The chief
thing in their favor is their habit of
personal cleanliness. The railroad labor
ers, who are the poorest and most ignorant
class, wash themselves from head to foot
at the end of each days work. All classes
are frequent customers of the barber, who
gives minute attention to the heads, faces,
ears and necks.
Among the common laborers there is
little sympathy for sick and injured
comrades. If a man is likely to become
burden, the other members of his gang
want to get rid of him as soon as possible.
1t is commonly believed by the white
bosses on the railways that the Chinese
doctors put sick men out of the way by
poison when they cannot be speedily
nnrpI A yuo told IN nraro,, s-cI
a Coolie railway laborer who had an arm
broken. 1t was set by the compAny's
doctor and was doing well, but the mans
comrades insisted on bringing a Chinese
doctor to attend him. The doctor came
from distant camp and gave the patient
a dose. In an hour the poor fellow was
dead. In such cases there is no investiga-
ton; nobody cares that there is one
Chinaman less. The death of a cart horse |
is of much more consequence. One great |
the employers of Chinese labor |
have to contend with is the superstition of |
these queer people. Their religious wor-
ship consists chiefly in propitia ing the |
malevolent spirits of the dead. If a |
Chinese domestic fancies there is ghost |
in the house he departs at once. and leaves |
an inscription behind to warn his success
,rs. 1t often happens that family will
oe un able to keep a servant longer than q
single day. Man after man will come
md go without giving any reason for his
abrupt departure. At last the warning
sign is found in the kitchen or the servants
room and expunged; then there is no
more trouble. Not long ago two China
men were killed in Oregon by the
premature explosion of blast on a new
railway line. One Of their fellow workmen
declared that just before the explosion he
saw two devils come to the opposite bank
Of the river aud heard them talking.

WHAT TO TEACH CHHDREN.-Teach
them to be polite. Teach them that there
is nothing but goodness of heart, of so
much durability as pleasing department.
They will lose the idea after while. that
it is smart TO be pert and boisterous, and
take pride in being little ladies and
gentlemen. Teach them to say "How do
you do?" or Good morning" to every.
body they meet with whom they are
acquainted; never to contradict, whis-
per, hum. beat a tattoo with the fingers
on the furniture,o or loll around in lounging
attitudes in company; to say "Yes,

yon please" and Excuse NO." if it is
necessary to pass before any one or leave
the table before the rest; and never to
do any of these things for which it is
necessary to ask to be excused unless it is
absolutely unavoidable. Not to toss
things instead of handing them; not to
meddle with things that belong to others
not to listen to anything not intended for
their ears; not to refuse to give the whole
to visitor when half will not do. A

WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH
Not long ago we went 10 church in the

had recently occurred in our personal ex-
perience some things TO gladden. us and

usually disposed to seek the relief of pray

into her face as she settled down INTO one

FRENCH TREATMENT OF THE NORTH
AMERICAN 1NDIANs.-The first French
colonists were rarely such in the English
priests, or soldiers, or traders-the latter
at first predominating. They did not
offer to buy the lands of the Indians, as
the English colonss afterward did, for an
agricultural colony was not their aim
They wished to wander through the
woods with the Indians, to Join in their
hunting and their wars, and. above all, 10
buy their furs. For this they were ready
to live as the Indians lived, in all their
disccmforts; they addressed them AS
"brothers" or as "children;" they mar
ried Indian wives with full church
ceremonies. No such freedom of inter-
course marked the life of any English
settlers. The Frenchmen apparently liked
to have the Indians with them the savages
were always coming and going, in full
glory. about the French settlements; they
feasted and slept beside the French; they
were greeted with military salutes. The
stately and brilliant Comte de Frontenac,
the favorite officer of Turenue. and the
intimate friend of La Grande Mademoi-
se!e, did not disdain, when governor
general OF Canada, to lead in person the
war dance of his Indians, singing and
waving the hatchet, while wigwam full
of braves, stripped and painted for war,
went dancing and bowling after him,
shouting like men possessed, as the French
say. He himself admits that
he ldid it deliberately, in order to adopt
their ways. (Je 1enr mis- maoy mesnae IN
hache q Ia main. pour M 'accomnaoder
q lemrs tacons dc taire.) Perhaps no single
act ever done by Frenchman in America
indicates so completely the temperament
which won for them the hearts of the
Indians.
The pageantry of the Roman Catholic
church had moreover, its charms for
native converts; the French officers
taught them how to fight; the French |
priests taught them how to die. These !
heroic missionaries could bear torture like |
Indians, and could forgive their torment.
DIS as Indians could not. This combination
Of gentleness with courage was something
wholly new to the Indian philosophy of
life. Pere Brebeuf wrote to Rome from
Canada. THAT which above all things is
demanded of laborers in this vineyard is
IN unfailing sweetness and patience
thoroughly tested.' And when he died
oy torture in l640 he SO conducted himself
hal the Indians drank his blood, and the
chief devoured his heart, in the hope that
hey might become as heroic as he was

"4ANkEE' Things IN THE SOUTH.-
The impression still obtains that the
southern people cherish such deadly
hatred to Yankees that they will neither
smell, taste, touch nor handle anything
contaminated by Yankee hands. This is
n most egregious error. The southern
people love the Yankee, and they show
this affection in thousand different WAYS.
When they retire at night they unbutton
Yankee buttons to Yankee made coats,
waistcoats. pantaloons. shirts and drawers.
They pull off their Yankee boots with
Yankee boot jacks, and divest their feet
of Yankee socks. They march to Yankee
bedsteads. turn down Yankee coverets,
Yankee blankets, PROSTATE themselves on
Yankee mattresses and lay their heads on
Yankee pillows. The bedbugs are the
only things not made by Yankee hands
and imported from the lapd of the
Yankees. On rising in the morning we
tread Yankee carpets, stumble over
Yankee chairs and sofas, build fire with
Yankee coal taken from Yankee scuttles,
in Yankee CRATES. catch ashes ia Yankee
pans, and use Yankee pokers, shovels and
tongs. We repair to Yankee washstands,
pour water out of Yankee pitchers into
Yankee sbowls, and wash with Yankee
soap; then use Yankee towels and Yankee
tooth brushes. Next we march to
Yankee bureau, stand before a Yankee
glass, and use Yankee combs, Yankee
brushes, Yankee powder, Yankee cologne,
in Yankee bottles. We sit down in a
