FARM AND FIRESIDE.

IL a farmer expects to get the most
value out of a crop he must necessarily
take extra pains.
Carpets rolled up during the hot
weather can be kept free from moths

AS growth with the calves is a
greater object than fat, a food that will
produce muscle and bone is more de-
sirable than one which produces flesh.
Therefore oats and bran are esteemed
o better food for growing calves than
corn and Chicago Journal.
When horses eat their oats too rap
idly the evil may be checkedby placing
some clean cobblestones in the box.
The horse will thus be compelled to
pick his oats slowly, masticate them
more thoroughly, and they will doshim
much more good than if hurriedly eat
en- in the ordinary way.-Boston Isan-
script.

A Tidal Wave.

The Weymouth & Channel Islands
Steam Packet Company's mail steamer
Aquila, which left Weymouth at her
usual hour, twelve o'clock, on Friday
night for Geurnsey and Jersey, on her
passage across the channel encountered
a very curious and dangerous phenome-
non. The weather was calm and clear
and the sea was smooth, when about
n hour out, and with the SHAMELESS
light still in sight, the steamer was
struck most violently by successive and
mountainous seas, which sent her on
her beams and swept her decks from
stem to stern. The water Immediately
flooded the saloon, ladies' cabin, fore
cabin and engine-room, entering through
the skylights, the thick glass of which
was smashed into small fragments. The
lamps in each of these places were ex-
tinguished and smashed, and the floors
to some depth were covered with water.
The passengers were greatly alarmed,
and as soon as possible they received
orders to come on deck and shortly
afterwards they were to be seen scramb-
ling over the debris which strewed the
decks. Every n was pale with fright,
while in the panic and confusion which
prevailed neither sailors nor passengers
could for a moment tell what really
was the matter. One man was heard
to exclaim that the vessel was fast
making water and would probably soon
go down. On sounding the pumps, how
ever, this was found t O be incorrect; and
consequently confidence that no further
danger was athand seemed to be assured.
AS the decks became clear of water the
actual damage became apparent. The
bulwarks were found to be broken in
several places, one of the paddle-boXes
considerably damaged, the iron rail OF
the bridge was considerably twisted, the
pump was broken and rendered useless,
the skylight of the ladies' cabin was
completely gone, and the saloon sky
light was smashed to atoms. Two large
cases of plate-glass consigned to Jersey
were smashed to pieces. and one among
several slabs of Bath stone weighing
about half a ton each was broken to bits.
Two coops containing fowls were
washed overheard. The stewardess,
who reports being occupied at reading
at the time. was. knocked down across
the cabin and was covered so thickly
with broken glass and other debris that
she was unable to move till it was taken
I from off her. The steward was stand
ing in the companiOn-way when the
force of the water drove away one of its
sides, and he was thrown down stairs.
receiving a cut across the forehead. A
seaman who was forward when the sea
struck, fortunately clutched one of the
davits and states that otherwise he
would have been washed overheard;
when the second sea struck he thought
he could not hold on no longer, from the
force of the surrounding water. It, APP
pears that the Aquila was not able to
shake herself clear of the first wave
when the second one came upon her,
and the Captain states hat had another
followed he fears she must have foun-
dered. The cabins were baled out with
buckets, while ~tarpaulins were placed
over the skylights for protection. For
tunately nobody was seriously injured.
Five minutes after the waves had struck
the steamer the sea BECAME perfectly
calm.-L0ndOn NeWS.

THIS rs LIFE"
OHIO.


81 a planned much work for M life" she
said;
A girlish creature, with golden hair,
And bright and winsome as she was fair.
IThe days are full, till he comes to wed;
The clothes to buy, and the home to make
A very Glen, for his dear sake"
But cares soon come to the welded wife;
She shares his duties, and hopes, and fears,
Which lessen not with the waning years;
For a very struggle, at best is life;
If we knew the burdens along the line,
We should shrink to receive this gift divine.
Sometimes, in the hush of the evening hour,
She thinks of the leisure she meant to gain,
And the work she would do with hand and
brain.
81 am tired tonight; I am lacking power
To think" she says; 81 must wait until
My brain is rested, and pulse is STILL"
Oiwoman and man, there is never rest;
Dream not of a leisure that will not come
Till age shall make you both blind and dumb.
You must live each day at your very best;
The work of the world is done by few;
God asks that a part be done by you.
Say oft, Of the years, as they pass from sight;
This, this is life, with its golden store;
shall have it once, but it comes no more"

You will finish your work on the other side,
When you wake in His likeness, satisfied.

Getting Even.

On a Lake Shore train coming into
Detroit the other day was a newly mar
ried couple, the bride appearing to be
about twenty-five years old. and the
groom being dapper little chap a year
or two younger. A lady who came
aboard at Wyandotte took &. seat just
ahead, and after a few minutes she
heard the pair criticising her bonnet
and cloak and general style. Without
showing the least resentment in her
countenance, she turned around in her
seat and said:
MADAM, will you have your son
close the window behind you?H
The ''son" closed his mouth instead,
and the madam didn't giggle again
for sixteen miles.-Detroit Free Press.

The Little Busy Bee.

The bee has long been q type OF the
industrious worker, but there are few
people who know how much labor the
sweet hoard of the hive represents.
Each head of clover contains about sixty
distinct hower-tubes, each of which con-
tains a portion of sugar not exceeding
the 1-500th part Of a grain. The pro-
boscis of the bee must therefore be in
serted into five hundred clover-tubes be-
fore one grain of sugar a be obtained.
There are 1000 grains in a pound, and,
as honey contains three-fourths of its
weight of dry sugar, each pound OF
honey represents 2 500, 900 clover-tubes
sucked by bees.-Chicago Tribune.

"SouSe de Next Lady,"

At negro baptizing the other day,
slim preacher took fat sister down
into the -murky waters of a bayou.
just as he dipped her under the water
she slipped from his grasp and glided
under the roots of a large cypress tree,
from which sad ENHANCEMENT it was
impossible to extricate her until life
was extinct. The preacher, without
the slightest show of embarrassment,
raised his hands, and turning to the
crowd exclaimed:
"De Lawd gibbeth, an de Lawd
taketh away, an blessed be de name of
de Lawd."
Oats oil right so fur as de Lawd's
consaned," replied the drowned wo-
mans husband, "but what's / gwine
to do? / amt got no lection to de
Lawd takin' her away eff he 'vides me
wild anodder wife bout de same size"
"De Lawd knows his own business"
said the preacher.
"But dat amt de pint" persisted
the husband. l wants a wife, and
wants her right heah. Yerse'f tuck
dat 'ooman inter de water, an Use
gwine ter hole yerse'f 'sponsible. I'll
gin yer ten minnits Ter git me wife,
an eff at the eend oh dat time you amt
done made de 'rangements I'll maui
yer till yer couldn't baptise a cat.
Does yer heah ?''
The preacher reflected moment
and addressing sister, said: "Sister
Kate, ter keep down 'sturbance,
won't yerse'f marry de gen'lman 2"
The sister agreed that immediate
matrimony was somewhat in her line,
and then the grief stricken husband
turning to the preacher, exclaimed;
"De settlement am satisfactory, .brud-
der. Souse de next LADY,
