The Control OF Ones Temper.

An ill-temper is not only torment to
one who yields TO it, but to every one
who comes into contact with the person
under its control. To those seeking to
lead a true Christian life, it is one of
the hardest faults to bring into subjec-
ton, particularly when il has been al
lowed to hold unlimited sway over its
unhappy victim from early childhood.
A young girl who was subject to a
passionate disposition was anxious To
lead an obedient Christian life. Her
temper had caused herself and those
around her much unhappiness. A trifie
was sufficient to throw her into a violent
rage. She strove to overcome it, but
such hold did it have upon her that it
seemed impossible to gain the mastery
One day her brother, having by some
trifling act thrown her into a passion,
exclaimed, with some scorn, to his
mother:
II should think she was trying to be
a Christian! A noble Christian, shew
Then did she fully realize for the first
time how dangerous this evil had be-
come to her influence. She saw that to
those who were watching her her con-
duct would bring discredit upon her
faith.
From that time she tried in earnest
to master her emotions, not in her own
strength alone, but with the help of her
faith in One whose follower in every way
she was striving to be.
Her brother saw the struggle going on.
1t made hi II thoughtful, and turned his
attention to the concerns of his soul.
Some time after, both she and her
brother were united to the church ON
the same day.
1t was a happy day for them both.
Truly noble in life are they who are
able to conquer themselves. The world
marks such struggle, and in the intlu-
ence is power for good in other lives.

The Hartford Remedy for Red Ants.

A gentleman of this city informs us
that last summer his family were
troubled with myriads of little red ants.
He watched their movements, and final
ly found that a line of them came
through crevice in a window, and
made their way to the pantry. Return
ing with bits of sugar or food, they passed
out where they came in, and disap-
peared in the ground few feet from
the house. On examining he found a
space of quite four feet square filled
with the ants. He procured a wash
boiler full of boiling water, had tbs
earth about the nest stirred up and thu
water poured on. He repeated this on
the two following days, being careful
to cover with the boiling water several
feet of ground all around the nest. He
had no more red ants in his house last
summer, nor Rave they reeppeared this
year.-Hdrtford (Cor's. Tires.

Thotns seem to come instead of flowers:
And rough may be the road to run.

some other Bitters, as it is not a

The Care Of Ice.

In most localities ice-houses are now
so common that there is usually little
difficulty in procuring supply of ice.
Still, in newly settled places, ice is often
difficult to obtain, and must be brought
from distance. In the sick-room, espe-
cially in some fevers. the life of the pa
tient almost depends upon having ice.
Then the usually cheap commodity be-
comes very precious. and every care
must be taken for its preservation. The
common method of wrapping lump Of
ice in . blanket answers very well az
long as that remains dry, but rs soon as
the blanket is wet through by the smelt-
ing of the ice, it becomes q poor protec-
ton. The advice to place the ice upon
a feather pillow and cover it with an.
other. may be followed, if nothing bet.
ter can be done. This affords the prope,
conditions for the preservation of ice, in
completely surrounding it by some non.
conductor of heat. It will not require
much ingenuity to so prepare box,
with lining of cotton-batting, felt OIL
other none-conductor of heat, that it will
preserve ice for long time. If the ice
is to be used in small bits, to be placed in
the mouth of the patient, use sharp awl
for chipping off pieces of the proper size.
If powdered ice is to be applied to the
head, etc., first break the ice into pieces
as large as hens egg, then put these
into = canvas bag or coarse, very
strong towel, and by using wooden
mallet, gradually Mt first, it may be red
uced to fine powder. Rubber bags are
made to hold ice in applying it to the
head, ETC., but in the absence of these.

As They Did in the used -To-Bo.

The mother gathered the children to9ether,
She folded them close TO her heart in Riee;
For the red sun had brought them rainy

And what they should do they never could

And they cried in a qnerulous tone, Mamma,
Now think back ever and ever so tar,
And think il you ever had rainy days
That troubled your plans and spoiled your plays
And what you did when they used to be"

And we thought it meant to keep on that way.
And we were rs tired as tired could be"
up in the attic--in grandma's attic
There's chest of drawers, or there used to
Though we had many a charge emphatic
Not to go near enough to see.
But one rainy day we opened it wide
And Strewed the contents on every side.
We dressed ourselves in the queer old caps
And brass-buttOned coats with long blue flaps,
Yes-wait a minute-papa wants me-"
They waited and waited and waited and waited,
Forty hours it seemed to mer'
Cried weary Kitty with eyes diated,
Lets do it ourselves-I can find the keyI"
So they climbed the stair, "as still as mouse"
you might have heard it all over the house,,
And they dressed themselves in trailing
dresses,
And powdered wigs and hempen tresses,
Just like they did in the used to be!'
The warning stair kept creaking and squeaking,
There was no time to turn and flee.

Preparing Fruit for Market.


city man remark the other day. Il do
not buy Il basket of strawberries that
has not the best and biggest on top, and
when the peach season comes, [ get
dozen or two of fine peaches on top,
while the rest of the basket is filled with
small, green, gnarled fruit; they are NIL
cheats The very next day after hear
ing this remark, we were among the
fruit commission houses. and in one
place saw some young men, who had
bought several crates of fruit to peddle.
They had lot of smaller baskets, to
which they transferred the berries from
the larger ones they had bought, and AS
they filled these, they topped them with
the larger berries with surprising dex-
terity. We concluded that all the
cheating, in Strawberries at least, was
not done by the farmers. That there is
much ''deaconing'' Cthe market phrase
for topping) of peaches and other fruits,
we do not doubt, yet the tendency is all
in the other direction. Take peach
growers, for example, those who are
regularly in the business, and expect to
continue it, strive to make their brand
upon crate or basket q guarantee Of
honest packing. This is insisted ON at
all the meetings of peach-growers; only
recently we received the transactions Of
fruit-growers' society in North Caro-
lima in which this point, honest pack
ing, was dwelt upon at great length.
Honesty is the best policy" is not q
proverb of the highest moral tone, rs 1t
implies that it pays to be honest, but
the peach-growers are willing to adopt
it. In packing peaches, the first point
should be to assort them, making as
many grades as the condition of the
fruit requires. When brought to tho
packing shed, the fruit is at once thinly
spread in the shade, in order that it
may cool as much as possible. In as
sorting, any that are at all soft are put
| aside, to be left at home; then two or
three qualities, extras, firsts and Sec
onds, are made, and with the best
growers, the packages of each are alike
all through. 1t is allowable to turn the
colored sides of the top layer upper
most, in order that the fruit may ap-
pear at its best, but not to select large
specimens for the top layer. Those who
send peaches to market for the first
time, will find it to their advantage to
observe this rule. In packing grapes
for market, the box is opened at the
bottom, fine large punches are laid in
and the box is filled up with smaller
punches. This is done in order that
the fruit, when the top is taken off. may
| present a good appearance, and if the
filling is done with good fruit, even if
not the most select, there is no harm
done. But if, as is sometimes the case,
poorly ripened fruit, and even loose
berries are used to fill up, the grower
will in time find that his brand is not
in demand in the market. The fruit
grower, who expects to continue in
| the business, cannot afford to pack his
fruit dishonesty. AgricuL
