Wooden Silos.

Mr.. Samuel Drew of Middlebusb, New
Jersey, writes us, under date of March 10,
as follows II is stated that some farmers
in your state are building silos of plank,
and that they answer every purpose. VIII
you be 80 kind as to give me a brief de.
scription Of the manner in which they are
built2 This is fine farming section, but
cheap freights from the west have injured
us greatly, and ruined many. Many Of the
farmers see light ahead by ensilagipg their
corn aud other productions, but we have no
stone, and sand has to be drawn from six to
ten miles. II we can use wood it will help
us greatly" Now will our readers who have
had experience in building wooden silos
help us to help our New Jersey friend as his
neighbors by sending us as full descriptions
Of their silos as may be convenient for pub

body else to do it, but write at once. Here
is real opportunity to do good, as many
are thinking Of building silos this year.

No Night There.

"There is no night there" cannot
understand just what heaven is, but think
can feel something of the meaning Of
these words. They mean that there is no
weariness in that blessed abode. The in
habitants Of that country, employed in
higher and more glorious activities than
earth can ever know, speeding ever with
glad motion on their joyous tasks, feel no
fatigue nor weakness. They faint not,
neither need to sleep. For they are deliv-
cred from the weary burden of the flesh.
They are free and tireless spirits. Their
powers and their joys are endless and un.
broken. "There is no night there" No
sin, no shame, no guilt. Dark, dark and
heavy is the shadow of evil that rests upon
us here, shadow iull Of bitterness and
grief, clouding our brightest days and hid
ing the face OF our God far from us. But
there all is pure and clear; no more stains
upon the soul, no more barriers between us
aud God. The light of his holiness shall
flow through and through us, as the sunlight
flows through the rainbow's glittering arch
making every drop shine like q fawless
jewel.-Reu L. II. Vandyke.

The English MiddeIeman.

Some ten years ago the American farmer
began to realize that he was paying too many
intermediate profits upon both his purchases
aud his sales. This knowledge ultimated
itself in various forms Of cooperative buy
ing and selling, with some direct advantage,
but with much more of an indirect nature,
the result of fear, on the part of the mid.
dleman, that ruin awaited them as the con-
sequence of their high tolls on everything
that passed through their hands. The end
OF that movement has been, to some extent,
bringing more closely together of the pro-
ducer and consumer but the chief effect is
seen in closer buying and selling on the part
of both producer and middleman. One of
the great lessons learned by the farmers was
the immense advantage attendant upon do
ing all business upon strictly cash basis
They have found out that credi. always
costs solvent man more than it is worth.
The London correspondent Of the New
York Times says that In England "there
are signs in all directions of an awakening

ing of dairy farmers and others interested
in the milk supply of London, TO discuss

complain that 'the middleman gets the

ing over the interests of the consumer. At
the same time the operator can afford the
expense of an occasional prosecution and
fine, seeing that before he is found out he
may have accumulated extra profits enough
which the law can subject him. The meet
ing resolved to form a society with an exc
cutive organization to protect the interests
Of both consumer and producer.
"The revolt against the middlemen is at
present in its infancy, but it is growing in
many directions. The cooperative socie-
ties Of all classes are chiefly organizations
against the trader who takes toll from both
producer and consumer. As rule, it is the
producer who suffers most. When the
prices of coal go up it Is generally the result
OF an operation of middlemen who have
made ring. The market gardeners Of
the London district have to send their pro-
duce to certain wholesale dealers almost at
the middlemsn's own prices. Lately some
of the great coal owners have entered into
the retail business themselves, giving the

Catching the Eye Of the Speaker.

The order of morning business (says Ben
Perley Poore, in writing in the April Cen
tury Of congress and The Capitol at Wash.
ington '), is unintelligible to strangers, and
is merely the successive recognition, by the
speaker, of those members who have OBJ
tanned from him promise that they can
have the a,or. In keeping these promises,
the speaker often pays no heed to members
in the front seats who are endeavoring to
attract his attention by cries Of "Mister
speaker" in every note in the gamut, &C
companied by frantic gesticulations, and
recognizes some quiet person beyond
them. al have been a member Of this
house three successive sessions" said an in
dignant Tennesseean who had vainly tried
to obtain the floor, " and during that time l
have caught the measles, the whooping-
cough, and the influenza, but have never
been able to catch the speakers eye."

Doubtful Cnmnanions.

Young persons, whose business relations
compel them to spend much time in associa-
tion with ungodly fellows, clerks or work
men, are very apt to dwell upon the diff
Guilty Of remaining loyal to Christ in the
presence of such evil influences. The more
they dwell upon the jibes, jests, sneers and
inuendoes OF their associates, the more for
midable do such hostilities appear to their
imsginations, and the more certain are they
TO become disheartened and even morbid in
their feelings. Not unfrequently they yield
to such enemies Of the truth so far, at least,
as TO enter into their coarse lists and their
disposition to excite laughter by trifiing re-
marks on serious subjects; and then apollo
gize to their own consciences for the failure
Of their loyalty by pleading the strength of
their temptations. But this is not the right
method OF treating such external difficulties.
1t is more dutiful and unspeskably more
safe to look upon them as forces that may
be overcome; to say, al can do all things
through Christ Strengthening me;" md to

More About Fertilizers.

Mr.. Andrew II. Ward Of Bridgewater,
Mass. (who has several times contributed
valuable articles TO these colhmns), in re-
cent hearing before legislative committee,
made strong argument against the pres
ent mode of establishing the value and price
OF commercial fertilizers. Mr.. Ward said
Manufacturers purchase the raw mate
rial adapted to the article they are manufac.
turing, and they know what they want. A
manufacturer Of soap knows the different
ingredients he needs to produce the soap he
wants and the effect Of the separate articles
he uses, aud therefore buys those necessary,
and uses them in the proportion needed to
make the soap desired If he did not know
the nature and effect OF the different arti.
cles he used, it would be mere chance if he
made what he desired.

The Best Way.

Neither children nor grown people trust,
any more than they believe, because they
are bid. If they are properly trained, they
will unavoidably have this trust and conf
dence, and the less that is said about it the
better. If not, the less said, the better, too
for confidence is then out of the question,
and there is danger in making it an empty
phrase. 1t would be well if those, whose
office it is to address children, were fully
aware that exhortation, persuasion and dis
suasion are of no use in their case and that
there is immeasurable value in the opposite
method of appeal. Make truth creditable,
and they will believe it; make goodness
lovely, and they will love it make holiness
cheerful, and they will be glad in IL; but
remind them of themselves by threat, in
ducement, or exhortation, and you impair

conscious affections; try to put them on q
task of arbitrary self management, and your
words pass over their ears only to be forgot

Saturday was kind of gala day
at the Palace, there being no less
than two presentations in the one
afternoon. At about noon the
mounted cavalry, escort of the Jap
csc Embassy, was seen rounding the
corner of Punchbowl and King
streets. The escort consisted Of two
squads, of about dozen in each,
preceding and following the two car
riages, containing the Ambassador
and suite and Col. G. z. Iaukca.
We did not, however, notice the
permanent representative of Japan
in this country in either carriage.
AS the gate rolled open the Band,
stationed in the Coronation pavilion,
struck up merry tune. Inside the
Palace the usual ceremony was gone
through, credentials presented, &c.
Afterwards the Embassy visited His
Majesty's sisters, the Hcircss APP
parent, and II. II. II. Princess
