In the April Century Rev. DR.. Charles
s. Robinson continues his discussion of
the annoyances and humors of the
musical service in churches, and relates
this anecdote: GLORIOUS Easter was at
hand and great preparations were made
in the rural parish for its celebration;
boughs were twined in the arches of
the building; flowers swung in wreaths
overhead and shone in beautiful baskets
among the aisles; children had been re-
hearsing carols. All the town came in
on that notable morning. It was. o
scene never to be forgotten. The min
lister was radiant; his eyes beamed
with delight. But thought struck
him; this audience, SO happy,
so generous, SO enthusiastic
would they not hear him moment for
a stroke of business? After the invoca-
and the first song, he surprised them
with proposition to bring Easter offer
ings' now at once to Gods altar, and
lift the dear old church out of debt ;
oh, then there would be resurrection
The congregation would come up from
under its great stone into new life if
they would roll it away! Then the
plates went their course and hearts
were touched and purses we're emptied,
and the heaps of money lay before the
moistened eyes of the relieved pastor
as he TREMENDOUSLY thanked good God
for his peoples fidelity in response.
The money is here, am sure it is. he
exclaimed. If there be a little in ar
rears it can be made up in day, and
and now we are ready heartily to go on
with the worship of our risen Lord So
the fixed programme proceeded. A little
German had been procured from the
metropolis for an annex to the tenor
his solo came in at this exact crisis of
grateful emotion; he rendered it with a
fresh aplomb, though the consonants
were awkward. AN lie Diet sail de raised
de Diet sail be raised-an' de detr-an'
de det-sall be raised-sall be raised
in de twinkling of an ay-ee!
Snow, it is queit safe to say that after
the congregation went home, the theme
of the day was dissipated, and the two
events uppermost in everybody's mind
were the surprise which the eager min
lister had sprung upon the people and
the ridiculous appropriateness OF the de-
clamatory solo which followed it. On
general principles we have no objection
to the collection of money to discharge
religious obligations, even in divine
service; but it does seem pity that q
humorous episode should be the chief
reminiscehce of such solemn occasion. !"

Two incidents that happened the
present session illustrate well enough
the prevailing occupation at Washing
ton. A young colored mana theolo
gical student-had been given posi-
ton in the Senate wing as a reward for
political services. He was put down
on the roll as laborer, and duly took
the "oath of Office" Later on he was
given mop and instructed to clean the
beautiful tile-laid floors. Next day he
rebelled at the work and was brought
before Sergeant-at-Arms Canady.
"What did you think you were taken on
for?" inquired Canady. "Only to sup
port the Constitution" said the colored
theologian; THAT'S what swore to do
and it's about all you ought to ask Of
me-"

The kidneys form very important channel
for the outlet Of disease from the system, car
rying of accommodations that poison the blood
As the lungs remove the carbonic acid, the liver
the hillary acid, so the kidneys remove the
uric acid. The undue REORGANIZATION of this acid
is the poison that often produces rheumatism
and other chronic diseases. The kidneys are
often affected and cause serious disease when
least suspected. If there is weakness, heat or
pain in the back or loins, WEAKNESS, nervous
restlessness, and any unnatural condition of the
urine, hot dry skin, and hectic flushes, bloat-
ing of the body or swelling Of the limbs, annoy
ing headaches, INSTRUCTED circulation, with sed-
iment OF gravely or albuminous deposits in the
secretion from the kidneys; or if that secretion
be either extremely pale or high colored, then
the kidneys are evidently not doing their nata-
rul work. Many suffer from serious kidney
trouble without knowing what ais them. No
matter in what form the kidney complaint may
exist there is no better purifying regulating di-
uretica and tonic, than Burdick's Blood Bitters;
it's action upon the kidneys is ct once manifest

Mr.. J. S. Kirkham cautions brother
farmers againstputting themselves ''into
the hands Of the expert manufacturer
of promissory notes"
Some Michigan people were lately
victimized by an agent selling alleged
"Holland bulbs ofrare varieties" which
proved to be good for nothing.
A New Jersey farmer writes to the
New York Herald that lie gave dress
ing Of salt eight bushels to the acre. to
land badly infested with white grubs,
and for three years after raised good
crops of corn, which was impossible
previous to this application.
Cleanliness is goodness on the farm.
Clean implements, clean harness, clean
animals, clean fence corners, clean
fields, clean garden, clean orchard,
clean seeds, clean pasture, clean yards,
clean stables, clean shelters, clean
troughs, clean food, clean water, clean
litter, clean sleeping quarters, clean
granaries, and clean conscience.
One of the best things that can be
said of horticulture is that the pursuit
of it leads to more correct views of what
constitutes beauty. We cannot associ-
ate with beautiful flowers without ac-
quiring correct taste and the heart is
nodded as well as the mind. The study
of flowers is rest in itself, no matter
how hard we have to labor, and the
labor is only recreation if we truly love
flowers.
Sudden changes of food should al
ways be avoided with young animals.
It is the best plan to give them bran, or
ground oats, mixed with one-fourth OF
inseed meal, and to make this food un-
form throughout the entire Winter.
They should be fed regularly, as two
meals crowded into the stomach too
close together are likely to produce
disarrangement and scours.
The great weight required to be sup
ported by the feet of draft horses rem
ders these parts quite liable to many af.
fections, which may in a great measure
be avoided by frequent judicious shoe
ing. The texture of the horn of the
draft horses foot is not, as a rule, sc
firm and resisting as we usually find in
lighter breeds, but this deficiency is
largely made up by increase in size, te
which, if we add proper shoeing, theil
feet should prove just as durable as, OF
even more durable than the feet of the
roadster.
The Hon. G. M. Clay says that the
Jerseys are the native cattle Of Russia
and he could load o fleet with them al
from 50 to $40 per head. If this is true
there is true there is no use in the farm
ers of the Channel Islands allowing the
, supply to fall off. It is more than proba.
BILE if we should import directly from
Russia little careful Judgment would
give us stock of Jerseys that would b.
hardy, vigorous and able to "hos Their

Three Months Failures.

Bradstreet's Journal of N. Y, publishes the
following: We find the first quarters failures
in 1884 in excess of any like total in proceeding
years, the total number being $500 This
points to record of over 10, 400 business
deaths within the current year. The probable
total of failures for 1884 may exceed that of the
heaviest of the list 1878, yet such result would
i'll no way liken the commercial healthfulness
to that in 1878 As pointed out number of
times heretofore, the commercial death rate is
always greatest during periods of trade depres-
sion If then, with the enormous increase in
the number of traders throughout the country
which has taken place within the past six
years from an increased population of at least
six millions, the list of commercial deaths
barely exceeds that of 1878, the death rate per
1,OOO'in business as compared with 1878 will be
much lower. Not more than "a per cent of the
firms and business enterprises of the country
are employing each 5000 or less capital The
failures in the different districts for the first

In this season for tree planting 1t will
be well to remember that the first req
uisite for good results is soundness-
indicated by a fresh, white, moist like
appearance of the roots when slightly
scratched with the thumb nail, like that
of apple or potato flush by therbark be-
ing clean and entire, and the shoots
plump and we'll ripened-plump termin-
al buds. Second, permit no exposure
or drying of the roots until covered
with the fine, clean, damp mould; dry
ing is the commonest cause Of death to
trees, but they can also drown; the soil
should have good natural or other drain
age. Third, early planting is necessary
to give time for the root wounds to cal
lus, without which new roots cannot
form. Moisture and some access of
air are essential to this !;
soaking wetness is very detrimental.
Fourth, the manner of planting is less
important. nurscryman sets young
plant in hole, the root-points at least
four or five inches down and the collar
even with the surface; scrapes the molC
in with his foot, and gives it stamp to
close it into contact with every part of
the root; in half q minnie he has done
all that is essential. Fifth, the after
culture is especially important the first
season. Let no other plant live to ex-
tend its roots into the soil that the
young tree is to feed upon. Before the
hot drouths of July and August, a lib
eral mulch spread widely over the sur
face in an excellent protection; and if
no leaves come out to shade the stem, a
loose wrapping of paper or straw to
keep the parts moist and plump greatly
aids the ascent of the sap from the
root-points to the leaves. Take es-
pecial care of the leaves; let none be
soiled or broken.-N. Y. Tribune.

open-ditch aids the rapid escape of the
surface water, carrying with it all the
elements of fertility. They mar the
landscape, obstruct the labors of the
husbandman, and fail to meet the de-
mands of scientific drainage. Tile
drainage almost entirely prevents sur
face washing; the porus soil takes up
the water like great sponge, and passes
it off through the drains. This is done
slowly, giving ample time for its escape
by the great natural channels. After q
considerable fall of water it requires
from ten to fourteen days for the drains
to discharge the increase.
In feeding clear corn meal there is
