A Princes Bed.

There is on view in Paris bed of rare
and singular construction, which has
been made to the order OF an East In
dian prince, and is about to be sent out
to him. The bedstead, which is of satin
wood, with large plates of silver repousse
work, is very beautifully carved, and
has cost upward Of go, 400. The most
original part of the bed is the mattress,
which has been fitted up as a musical
box, SO that directly any one lies down
it plays tunes selected from Gounod's
operas. At the four corners of the bed
are four statues, representing young
girls of Greek, Spanish, Italian, and
French nationality, their only ornament
being a gold snake bracelet twisted
around the wrist which holds the fan
they are waving over the sleeper. By
an ingenious continuance of the artist
employed to cast those statues, the eyes
have been made to move; and the reals-
tic appearance of those young ladies is
heightened by the addition of four wigs
in four shades of color, supposed to be
typical of each nation. The arms of the
rajah are carved at the head of the bed
stead, which, though in shocking bad
taste. is a marvel of workmanship.

4" Pullman Cars" in Japan.
[Corres. Troy Times.l

They have funny way of travelling
which we found universal In Japan. that
is by jinrikishas-jin (man) riki (power)
sha (carriage) man-power carriage.
Some one calls them the pullman car"
of Japan. This cunning little vehicle,
OF which there are 100, 900 in this land,
Is simply miniature buggy, an enlarged
baby carriage, a perambulator for grown
mp children. Onthe occasion of my first
ride I certainty felt as if [ were a big
baby, or boy playing horse. I could
not help laughing at the intensely ludic-
rous figure [ cut. One feels like the old
woman In "Mother Goose" when she
said, " Lauck mercy on me, this is
none OF L. The Jinrikisha has two
wheels, springs, cushioned seat and COW
cred top. 1t is just large enough for
one person, though some are made to
carry two. You jump in, perfectly indif-
ferent to it's frail appearance; your hu-
man horse, stout little Japanese, steps
into the thills and trots off with you at
a lively pace, fairly spinning through
the streets. They can easily make five
miles On hour, or thirty and forty miles
day. There is no danger of a horse
running away; you need no reins, no
driver, no whip, no hitching post. Your
horse shoes and blankets himself
though the blanket is rather small, simp-
~ s. loin-cloth. It is the most intel
lgent team / ever found, and the most
convenient way of getting around, but it
is hard on the horse, for he grows old
fast and dies at an early age.

Funny. But Not so Darned Funny.

The following story, says the Home
Journal, was told at dinner party in
Boston the other night. A man from
Woonsocket was obliged to make visit
to Boston on some business. He timed
his visit so as to be able to hear a lecture
of Mark Twain's at fremont Temple.
By some misunderstanding the Woon-
socket man mistook the day of the lee
ture. and happened in on one of Mr.. Jo-
seph Cookies lectures. He listened to
the long discourse without discovering
his mistake, thinking all the time that
the lecturer was the famous humorist.
On his return to Woonsocket, his family
questiond him as to the lecture-''W
it funny?" was asked. "Wall," slowly
replied the traveller. sit was funny, but
it warn't SO darned FUNNY"

Second, rich, well prepared ground.

The most critical period of pigs life
is the first week. If the SOW is consti-
pated and feverish, pigs will not have a
supply of wholesome milk. Derange-
ment must follow. The remedy is to
bring the sows up by narrowing time in
prime, healthy condition, by care for
OhO1 AOCU anu 6A6IclSe, ana peas ana
pens. The second critical period is the
weaving time. This process must not
be abrupt. Let the changes from the
dams milk to other food be gradual.
The pigs should be taught to eat at q
side table, where soaked shelled corn
and milk are set out of the sow's reach.
By the time the pigs are eight weeks old
they rely mostly on this side table for
their supplies. The SOW is not so
heavily taxed, and her feed may now be
gradually reduced, and the pigs weaned
and the SOW removed out of sight and
hearing OF the pigs, and fed two weeks
to recuperate her strength, when she is
put to grass or clover and fed no grain
until near breeding timein the fall. She
is now IN fine condition to resume the
Office OF maternity.

Potatoes i'm Ireland.
CFrom the n. Y. Times.

lCIOLn tue N. L. 1luleb.J
The pertinacity with which the Irish
people have stuck to the potato as a
staple article Of food has entailed upon
them great deal of suffering. Many
times, since the great blight in 1916,
their hopes OF bounteous crops have been
cruelty dashed, but their faith in the
tuber, although sorely tried, has always
remained firm. Its popularity IN the
first instance was stimulated by the sim
pie methods necessary for successful cul-
tlvation and the very small amount of
effort required to gather from the field
the material for hearty dinner. Under
the last administration of Lord Reaconsl
field it came to be regarded as essential
to Irish prosperity that an effort should
be made on an extensive scale to have a
complete change of seed potatoes in Ire
land. Considerable attention had pre-
viously been given to the subject in
Scotland, where farmer, after years of
careful experiment by planting from the
potato seed formed upon stalks where
the blossoms had been, had succeeded in
producing variety which he named
Scottish Champions. The champions
were sent over to Ireland and distribut-
ed by the government to the farmers and
cottiers for seeding purposes. The crop
produced WAS the best which Ireland
had seen since the first appearance of
the blight. A popularity of the cham
pion was that it produced stalk in some
instances over five feet in height. Those
who had benefited by the new seed, al
though they had a strong repugnance to
paying for it, were firmly impressed with
the opinion that it would take at least
twenty years before the Scottish Cham
plon would succumb to the blight. It
can, therefore, be truthfully said that the
disastrous blight of last year was I'M
expected. In 1881 the money value of
potato crop was 910, $780, 900. In 1882 it
amounted in the aggregate to only 95,-
6l8, 1877, diminution of ga. ST., 667.
MIR. Jensen, Of the school of agriculture,
Copenhagen, has been devoting much of
his time during the last few years to a
study of the causes of blight. and has
found a remedy against the ravages of
the g spores, which may be used to
great advantages in Ireland if the gov
eminent should decide to mako it known
to the people, The origin of ssspores,
has successfully bafded science for forty
years, but Mr.. Jensen has discovered
that they are washed down through the
soil, and IN that way reach the tubers,
which are affected In proportion to depth.
1t used to be believed that the plant IT.
self transmitted the disease to the tuber.
but Mr.. Jensen's experiments show that
this is not the fact. His remedy is to be
applied in the second or tssummer earth
ing. = Ii the earthing is done in dry
weather, and done effectually, it will lift
the tubers beyond the reach of the
"spores.

terms, if anything will! / will do it
this very night How lucky it is that
it's so dark and rainy!"
Early the next morning Hiram went
over TO Squire Hapgood's to borrow a
hoe, ignoring the fact that he had no
less than half dozen of his own. He
found the squire in high state of ex
element. His squash had been stolen
Who had perpetrated the base deed
The old man was confident that it was
Deacon Sykes.
4" He has stolen it so that his squash
can take the premium at the fair, be ex-
planned.
"Well, perhaps youare right, squire, !"
said Hiram, 'and then again perhaps
you're wrong. It may be he and it may
be somebody else! It's hard telling"
"I shall never see that squash again, !"
moaned the old man.
50 If it was my squash that was stolen,
[ think ] should see it again. [ have
never had anything stolen yet, but what
I succeeded in recovering it. I think if
L should set myself about it I could find
your squash.
Squire Hapgood grasped the young
man convulsively by the hand.
"Set yourself about it, Hiram; set
yourself about it - he cried. "Find
that squash, and I'll give you"
He paused to consider what reward to
offer for the recovery of his treasure.
g Find that squash and I'll give you
that COW you wanted to buy of me last
night" he said, after moments re,
fection.
s. I don't want your cow, squire, but
I'll find your squash if you will give me
Maggie.
"pll do it, Hiram -
"When will you give her to me ?"
Some"
''Ihat won't do, squire. must have
her within month. "
Find my squash, and you shall have
her within month.
" Honor bright, squire ?"
Honor bright, Hiram"
The young man took his departure in
a high state of elation
On the evening of the same day, Hi
ram drove up to Squire Hapgood's door
with the missing vegetable in bis wagon.
Oh, what a scene was there, my
countrymen! The squire embraced the
squash, and Hiram embraced Maggie.
1t would be difficult to say which OF the
two felt the most ecstatic
Where did you find it, Hiram ?''
asked the old man, when his transport
had begun to subside little.
"Don't ask me, squire / can't tell
you. / have promised to hold my
tongue about it,"
you'll tell me where you found it,
won't you?" asked Maggie coax
ingly, when she found herself alone with
| her lover.
IF you will keep it a secret from your
father"
81 will never breathe a word of it to
him."
Well, then, I found it in one corner
of my barn floor, covered with straw
"Oh, you wicked"
What more Maggie was going 30 say
| am unable to inform the reader, for at
that precise moment Hiram stopped her
mouth with a kiss.
Two weeks later Squire Hapgood' s
squash was awarded the first premium
at the town fair, and few days subse-
quent to that event Maggie Hapgood be-
came Maggie Hardy.

UNION SERVICES.
DR.. PiersOn's Bible Reading Yesterday After
noon The Services at the Park Thea
ter Last Night

There was a good attendance, notwithstand-
ing the mud and rain, at the Third Presby terian
Oh urch yesterday afternoon. Dr. Pierson con-
tinued the Bidle reading on the ministry Of the
Holy Spirit, of which the following is q synopsis:
First-The use the Holy Spirit makes of the
written word. Mark, the spoken word is not
referred to here. The HOLY Spirit nses in the
convincing of the soul the written word. Read
Timothy hi, 10. the Greek rendering is all
scripture, is God spirited, /. e.: the spirit OF
God is in and through 1t. Acts xviii, Isl Jude,
Sd verse. Here emphasize the word delivered.
The Bible is not the book of man, but God de-
livered 1t to man. I'd Timothy Ill, 10, Acts k,
second-Emblems which represent the Holy
Scriptures. These arc, first, the lamp; second,
the mirror; third. the light. Read Psalms.
cxiI, los. lamp is that which sheds light,
and the light is that which It sheds-Prov. vi,
%. Many persons have the word Of God like
a closed lantern Hebrews iv, 49,
From this we get the emblem Of mirror be-
cause We cannot look into the word Of God with
ont seeing ourselves reflected in 1t, and seeing
Just v nat manner OF man we are-Second Cor,
iii, l9. The glory of the Lord which see in
the word is Jesus Christ.-James, I, 1924.
The holy scriptures show the glory of the
Lord what manner of man we are, and what
manner of man we may be by the grace OF our
Lord Jesus Christ. Then there are, first, fire to
burn up; second, hammer to break in pieces;
third, sword to pierce thrOugh.-Hebrews,i Nv, ID;
Eph vi II; jeremiah, XIII, 20. Then there is
food, which has the power to nourish and satisfy.
Jeremiah xiii, %; Acts xix. 10 and 90 There
Ia no inspiration in the universe like the inspira-
ton of the word OF God: First Peter. Ii, D First
Corinthians, iii, .. Notes in the first three Cos
Dels there are very few mysteries, but when we
get to the gospel OF st. John we get the stronger
meat of the doctrine: Psalms, XIX, IL; Psalms
cxix. 103; Jeremiah, Nv, 49, Job, xiii, Penn
phasize the word "more"-Mathew, iv, 4;
Joshua, !, 81.
Third-What the word of God represents to be
Gods opinion of the word. Psalm, xix, a;
Pslam cxix, l: Deuteronomy,vi, 6 TO 9; Deuteron-
omy xvii, l9 to 20; Deuteronomy, xvii, to 8;
Deuteronomy, XXI 10 to IS and 81 H. Kings,
xxi, and Is; III. Chronicles, xvii. 8; Nehemiah,
xvii, l L and II; Luke xvi, 20 81; Psalm, j, 2
and 3; john xvii, z.
At the evening service DIR. Pierson preached
from the third chapter of Fret Corinthians
thirteenth verse.
The services will be continued tonight, and
the Bible reading will be given the Third
Church this afternoon between and O'Clock.
