The Value of Silence.

There are times, even in the best
regulated families, that silence is a won
,derful peace maker. In certain roods
of mind and body one may be wrought
to frenzy by words and suggestions that
in other moods would have no such eff
feet. When one is hungry. or tired, or
sleepy. ar sick, he cannot take the same
and vigorous in health. If he can
state Of things in himself and in those
around him, and restrain his words,
govern his tones, control his manners,
he may avert a deal of trouble. An i'm
.pulsive word is sometimes spark to pow
powder made ofsaltpetre and sulphur,
should we not be equally careful to pre-
vent social and domestic explosions?
Some people are so constituted that in
certain moods they will say disagreeable
things simply becdusethev feellike it. II
the cOmbustible stuff aboutthem is wet
with the cool water Of silence it will not
lake fire, and great damage may be- pre-
vented. 1t is nlers cruelty to take dvan-
tage ola fretiul child and tease and aggra-
vate and torment him, ''for the fun Of
1t" And yet some antilles tolerate this
species of amusement. How many
words are best left unsaid! Why should
we drop caustic remarks that can only
burn and rankle and corrode in the
hearts they touch? Why should we re.
turn railing for railing? Why should
We meet petulance with harshness? Let
US never forget that a soft answer turns
away wrath

Tomato Plants From Cuttings.

Have any Of cur friends ever tried to
raise tomato plants from cuttings; and
if so, with what results? Last fall we
rooted q slip from a tomato vine which
had escaped the first frost ofthe season,
and at the same time we planted some
seeds. The cutting is now quite a large
plant, branched out and III full blossom,
promising fruit, whilst the seedlings are
still small without signs of either branch
or blossom. From this experiment we
conclude that, while ali the nunberless
attempts during the last decade to pro-
duce earlier bearing varieties of IS good
qualities as some of our best popular
sorts possess, have proved to be failures,
or nearly 81, we may still look in unoth-
. direction for attaining the end SO
eagerly sought. Every florist knows
that even small cuttings of house plants
come to bloom just as if they were not
severed from the parent plant and put
on their W resources. Every branch
or sucker of the tomato vine produces
blossoms with the tendency to bear fruit.
Is it not reasonable to expect that when
turning such branch into an individual
plant this natural tendency is preserved
the same as it is IN the case of the ger
anium slip? The problem of pushing
n fruiting season of this wholesome
vegetable a week oY two ahead, can, we
have no doubt, be solved by the use of
cuttings instead of seedlings.-Midland

Secret of Raising TURKEYS,

One of the most successful breeders
remarks on this point: One great secret
of raisin. turkeys is to take care. and
take care all summer; and even then
you cannot raise them, for sometimes
they will not lay or they will not hatch.
or something Will befull them. Some
times we raise turkeys without much
care, when the season is specially favor
able, but generally the measure of care
is the measure of success. A boy ten or
twelve years old, with = little direction
from his. father, can easily take care of
two hundred turkeys, and he cannot
earn SO much money on the farm in any
other way. 1t is an old maxim that If q
thing is worth doing it is worth dong
we'll Some may think thus constant
care is too much trouble 10 raise tur-
keys. This is a free country, and YOU

have usually kept from eight TO ten tur-
KEYS as breeders, and have raised from
p~inety-nine to one hundred in a sum

to S2SO.40. In 1889 L sold Tor twenty-five

Tor eighteen cents a pound gross amount
OF sales, S2S6.24. 1 would rather raise
turkeys and sell at fifteen cents than to
raise pork and sell at ten cents a pound.
Perhaps in f,ttening pork you can save
the manure better, but the turkey drop-
pings, if gathered and saved every week
and kept dry are worth halt as much as
guano, and are certainly worth a cent a
pound.
The turkey crop is steadily increasing
in value, not more by the increased
number of farmers who make this a
specially in their ponltry raising than
by the increased attention and skill of
those VIII, have long been in the BUSH
ness. Care in selecting stock for breed
ing brings ample re awards. The prospect
was never better thar o for the ex-
tension of the business among the farm
ers who have a good range and good
markets. The average size Of turkeysin
the districts where t ,e business is made
a specially is steadily increasing and we
look for still further improvements.

Gems of Thought.

1t is the energy of the will that is the
soul of the intellect; wherever it is there
is life; where it is not all is dullness,
dependency, and desolation.
True courage is cool and calm. The
bravest of men have the least of a bru-
tai bullying incidence; and in the very
time Of danger are found the most Sc
rene and free.
Beware of evil thoughts. Oh, the
mischief they have done in the world.
Bal thoughts come first, bad words
bring up the rear. Pray against them.
They prepare the enemy.
The flower which blooms to-day, and
is wlthered to-morrow-is it at all more
actual than the colors of the rainbow?
Or rather. are those less actual? Beauty
is the most feeting thing upon earth,
yet immortal as the spirit from which il
blossoms.
When once q concealment or deceit
has been practiced in matters where all
should be fair and open as the day, con-
fidence car never be restored, any
more than you can restore the white
bloom to the grape or plum that you
have once held:in your hand.
The mixture of one error with much
truth adulterates the whole; as the
chalice of pure liquid is rendered dam
gerous by the infusion of a drop Of poi
son.. We should therefore avoid all
error, however slight and in~cons;derate
it Iray appear. One error may soon
lead to a hnndred-ay, to a thousand.

How the Brooklyn Bridge Gables
We're Made.

After the towers had been built and
the anchorage made ready then came
the %strangest work of all. To make the
cables and put them over the towers
would be a difficult NATTER very likely
it could not be done at all. So the ca
bles We're made just where they hang,
one SIN all wire at aJime. The cables
are not chains with links, nor are they
twisted like ropes. They are bundles Of
straight wires laid side by side, and
tightly around the outside. AT the
Brooklyn anchorage was placed a pow
erful steam-eHgine, and on the top ofthe
anchorage We're placed two largewbeels
and with the aid of proper machinery
the engine caused these wheels to turn
backward or forward. From each
wheel was stretched a steal rope to the
top of the Brooklyn tower, over the
river, over the other tower, and down
to the New York anchorage. Here it
passed over another wheel, and then
stretched all the way back again. The
ends were fastened together, making an
endless rope, and when the engine
moved the rope travelled to and fro over
the river. For this reason they were
called the Travellers There were,
oSoaNSo 'iiSoV lIlNClcIS, LWO luUTo ropes
placed side by side. On these were laid
short pieces of oak, thus making a foot
bridge on which the workmen could
cross the river. There We're also other
ropes for supporting platforms, on which
the Workmen stood as the weaving went
on. On each traveller was hung an iron
wheel, and as the traveller moved, the
wheel went with it. 1t took only ten
lnlnutss to send two wires over the river
In this way. The men on the foot-hridge
and on the platforms suspended from
the other ropes guided the two wires
INTO place, and THUS the cables were
woven, lit lie by little, two slender steel
wires each time, and carefully laid in
place, till 5,434 wires were bound to-
sether in q huge cable, fifteen and three
quarter inches in diameter. The
work was fairly started by the 18th Of
June, 1877, n the last wire was laid
Oct; s. 1878. There are foe cables,
each =, 5lS IL feet long; and, il all the
wires IN the four cables were placed in
line, they would reach over fourteen
thousand miles. The work was long and
dangerous. Sometimes the wire would
break and fall into the water. and an
hour or more would bt spent inhanl-
Ing it up and starting once more. The
men on The f~oot.bridge or on the CRIT
dies, high in the air, watched every
wire as it was laid into place To start
and stop the engine, men stood on the
top of the towers and waved signal flags
to the engineer. Such a mass of wires
would not very easily keep in place, and
as the work went on, a number of wires
were bound together into little bundles,
or ropes, and at the end of all were
bound together into n smooth, round
bundle, or cable.
