Becoming a Christian.

Next to the joy felt among the an.
gels in heaven over sinner that re-
penteth is perhaps that which thrills
the heart of a Christian parent when
one of his children turns from sin and
begins a pious life. An affecting in
stance of this was revealed at certain
camp-meeting. A young man, the
son of deceased bishop, was preach
ing an effective sermon from the
stand on the theme of repentance. In
the course of his remarks he said that
when at the camp-meeting he had
made up his mind to give his heart
and his mind to the Saviour. He
drew from his pocket slip of paper,
and on it wrote as follows: "Dear
father, 1 have decided to become a
Christian" This he signed and for
warded to his father at some distant
point where he then was. "Often be-
fore his DEATH" said he. "did my
father speak of the great joy which
that slip of paper gave him and only
little while previous to his depar-
ture from earth / saw in his wallet
that same slip, which for some wears
he had carried about his person."
Truly the Dious parent can desire
nothing for his children so much as
this. and the thought ofthe joy 1t will
give him may well be an inducement
to the child to make the great deci-
sion that he, too, will become Chris
tian.-SeLected.

Chsrseserlseass Of Hands.

AA~.~s
Hands are divided into three differ
ent kinds; those with round.pointed
fingers, those with square tips, and
those that are spadeshapo, with pods ol
flesh at each side Of the nail.
The first typs-with round-pointed
fingers-belong to characters with
perceptions extra sensitive, to very pi-
GUS people, to contemplative minds, to
the i'm pulsive, and to all poets and ar
fists who have ideality as prominent
trait.
The square-shaped belong to scientific
people, sensible, self.contained charac.
tsrs, and to the class Of professional
men who are neither visionary nor al
together sordid.
The spade shape type, with pods Of
flesh at the side Of the nail, indicate
people whose interests and instincts are
mostly material.
Each finger, no matter what kind of .
hand it Is joined to, has ajoint represen.
ting each Of those types. The division
Of the finger that is nearest the palm
stands for the body the middle division
represents mind, and the highest joint
spirit or soul.
Ifthe top joint is longer than the
others it denotes character weakened
with too abundant imagination, great
ideality and leaning toward the the.
oretical rather than the practical.
When the middle joint of the finger Ii
long, 1t promises logical mind, and
when the lowest joint Is longest 1t In
dicates q nature that clings more to the
luxuries than to the refinement of life.
II they are nearly alike, 1t indicates a
well-balanced mind, especially II the
length of the fingers equals the length
of the palm.

Jones dotes ON systems OF filtration !;
but Mrs. j. does not, and she opposed
the idea with all her might, for fear

back way with the wash-tub on his sled
and made for the river, and An hour
later returned soaking wet with sweat
from tho long pull in ths sand, and
carefully emptfed the tub into the filter.
Meanwhile, when Mrs. Jones went to
throw out the dish-ws just at dusk,
she spied the barrel, and, mentally
praising Jones for at last getting a slop-
barrel, carefully emptied all the house
slops intoit.
Jones wss still In . sweat when he

AGRICULTU r A L.
HOW To SET THE TREES.

hOW III oEI IhE IhErSo'
The land must be we'll prepared. Il
the soil 10 poor 1t must be enriched by
cultivation and manuring. II the soil
is shallow 1t must be deepened II wet, II
should be we'll underdrained. Holes
should be dug for the trees larger than
are needed barely TO receive the roots.
They should be made large enough, %
that whom tho trees begin to extend
their delicate rootlets In search OF food
they will not at once meet the hard
wall Of the excavation. The hole
should be dug deep and broad and filled
with good loan. The poor subsoil
which Is thrown out should not be put
back, but its place supplied with loan
from the soil around or brought from
distance.
The tree should be carefully cot In
the place prepared, the roots arranged
In their natural position, and the best
Of the soil worked carefully in among
the roots with the hand and firmly
compressed. After tho roots are well
covered, manure a. fertilizer may be
strewn about. One orchafdist In Maine,
In setting apple trees last spring, scat.
tered about the roots two quarts OF
superphosphate to each tree, and the
result WAS that the trees, made thrift
ty growth of about foot Or moro each.
Well.rotted barnyard manure as com
posted may be scattered over the cover
ed roots and mingled freely with the
soil. In filling the hole, the earth
should ba pressed In firmly about the
roots, no that there will be no settling Of
the soil afterwards. There Is no dan.
ger Of making tho earth too firm, provi
ded 1t IL all equally compressed.
HOW TO LOOSEN A TIGHT SCREW.
One Of the most simple and readiest
methods for lo0sing rusted screw Is to
apply heat to the head Of the screw. A
small bar or rod Of iron, fat at the en- J..
II reddened and applied for two or
three minutes to the head of the rusted
screw, will, a. soon as 1t heats
the screw render its withdrawal as easy
by the screw driver as if 1t was only q
recently inserted screw. As there Is q
kitchen poker In every house, that In
etrument, II heated at its extremity
and applied for few minutes TO tht'
head Of the screw or screws, will do the
loossning, and an ordinary screwdriver
will do the rest, without causing the
| least damage, trouble or vexatiOn OF
spirit. In all work above the common
kind, where it is necessary to use screws
and particularly in hinge work and
mountings, fancy fastenings and appli.
ancss affixed to joinery or furniture
work, We would advise the oiling Of
screws or the dipping Of their points In
grease before driving them. This will
render them more easy to drive and
also 10 withdraw, and 1t will undoubt-
edly retard for q longer time the action
of rusting.
