Transcript.
The old practice of feeding cows
every three hours, giving the last feed
just before retiring at night, has been
very generally abandoned. Now the
most successful farmers feed only
morning and night. The whole nom
ing or evening feed is not put before
them at one time, because experience
has taught that it is best to put before a
cow a small quantity at one time, add
ing more as soon as it is eaten up, so
thac the morning and evening meals
are made up of several small feeds,
perhaps of different materials. Y.

Did you know that all the silk in the
world is made by very little wornsG
These creatures have . machine for
spinning it. They wind the silk, too,
as well as spin it. The curious cocoons
the worms make are wound with the
silk. Men take them to factories,
where they are unwound and made into
the beautiful silks you and your mother
wear. igf 3fffsl ,ae ..sg gs,s 4 Il h

thread is much finer than the silk
worms. Its made up of a great many
threads, just like rope of many
strands. 2 This is the spiders rope, thas
he walks on. He often swings on ~
too, to see how strong it is. Did YOU
ever see a spider drop from some high
place? How bis spinninggzmachine must

The wasp makes his paper nest out q
lfibers of wood. He picks them OF WITH
his strange little teeth, given him Tor

neat bundle.
When he has enough, he makes them
into soft pulp in some strange WaJ,s
This pulp is very much like that usea
bytmen in making our paper. Very

WRINKLES.


Where DO the wrink es come from?"
And the joyous little Grace
Looked gravely in the mirror
Ather rOse-tinted face.
Where do the wrinkles come from?
Why first, dear, suppose,
The heart lets in a sorrow, Il. 45-..
And then the wrinkle grows.
Then anger comes tapping
And the hearts door opens wide;
Then hasten naughty envy
And discomfort and PRIDE
'And the wrinkles follow slowly;
For the face has for its part
To tell just what is doing
Down in the secret heart. ~ s
And the red lips lose their sweetness
And draw down So" said Grace;
And the lovely. youthful angel
Goes slowly from the face
Watch the gate of the heart, my darling,
For the heart is the dwelling place
OF the magical angel of beauty,
Whose smile is seen in thy face"

A CHURCH RECORD.
Not n Debt in tho State-A Sunday
Sermon.

Before the sermon at the First
Presbyterian church yesterday morn
ing /. was announced that all but a
few hundred dollars of the heavy
debt which had been o great burden
to the church for so long had been
raised, and it was desired to have the
remaining burden removed. The
pastor gsve the congregations into the
charge of tho session, who In short
time raised every cent required, and
at the present time there is not
debt on any Presbyterian church in
Nebraska.
The pastor chose for his text:
"Then aaid the Lord of the vineyard,
what shall l doi l will send my De-
loved sou; it may be they will welcome
him when they SEQ him
Itmay have appeared to the Nom.
hers of the congregation, and not to
the members cf the church, that the
gospel to them WAS void and useless,
on account of the past sermons in
reference to the fact that the Holy
Spirit had been directed especially to
Christians. But everyone who
hears the gospel of Christ should not
be- without an interest il it, and
that interest should be vital and not
superficial.
In this figure We have the vineyard
our life-which is hedged about by
providences and cultured by the mind
and heart, and the good accomplished
for man and the glory rendered to
God are the fruits of that vineyard.
In this we see that everything has
been done for man, and that the Son
of God has been sent In order that
the vineyards, which take from the
earth its barren peaks and desert
wastes, may give to it beauty and life.
And before this Son have humanity
fallen end said, holy, holy, holy. In
this life they see perfection. Renan,
In his Life Of Jesus, 80 brilliantly ends
this work, 1t casts q sunshine OF dis
credit on all he had previously said
against christianity. And as his fame
has conquered the world will you not
reverence him! But you say you can
not grasp the truths Of the Bible;
you cannot accept his word
as true. And here you
need the Holy Spirit. You say
you say you will wait and let this sal
walton come to you. 1t may seem
proper to His Majesty to grant you
only the privilege of accepting that
which he offers you, and not be so i'm
pertinent as to be In danger of deserv.
Ing a resentment. AS the hasty mo-
ments of time fly, the weary hours OF
eternity pass slowly away, every
minute opportunity to make life sue
cess is grasped, while the great oppor
tunities for making eternity success
are allowed to pass with sorrowtu
glance And the work oi the Holy
Spirit Ia 10 cause you to look at eter1
ity as 1t Is, TO consider the respective
positions, and to apply the means by
which heaven may be obtained.
The philosophy of Hobbs, could moi
restrain him from saying, as no wa
dying, 81 am taking a fearful leap IN
the dark" And men, though they HI
men of talent, If they have disregarded
tho claims of the Holy Spirit--th
present agent Of the trlnitY-they
make it known to others ere they take
the 'lesp In the dark. "

to all Imperialists has thus been
aroused. Flame was added to the

A Queer Pet.

One day last week a lady residing on
Chapel street, in New Haven, saw, on
going into the garden behind her house,
a snake about four feet long coming to-
ward her. She screamed and ran, thus
attracting the attention of gentleman,
who killed the reptile. 1t was a beauti-
full creature, and person who saw it
said it was of rare variety. While
wondering how the serpent could have
reached so thickly settled part of the
city, and be found so far from the woods
and fields, the wife of German physi-
clan. who lives around the corner from
the lady's house, came up and inquired
in tones of great solicitude if any one
had seen her ''pet snake" and when
she discovered its dead body she was
loud in her manifestations of grief and
anger. She, however, become more re-
signed, and carefully gathering the re-
mains in her arms she walked away
lamenting and talking to the dear one,
now dead, i'll q cooling manner, and call
