FARM, GARDEN AND HOME,
Lot the Sunshine In.

Let in the golden sunlight,
Yes, open wide the door,
And gloom will quickly vanish
Life's brightness come once more.
Drink In the healthy nectar,
That God doth give to thee
The bracing air Of heaven
The light 30 pure and free.
Throw every window open,
And sadness will depart;
The sky will smile upon you. .
And beautify the heart.
Let in the golden sunlight
When you are sad with pain,
And bliss will come to cheer you.
Your heart will smile again:
The darkest clouds will vanish,
Fair rainboWs spSn the sky,
And sunless hours will leave you @
When happiness is nigh.
Then open wide each window,
And healthful vig0r win
II you would be contented,
Just let the sunshiIe in.
Let in the golden sunlight
Its priceless wealth untold
Will bring you many pleasures,
And warm the heart that's cold.
How many suffer anguiLh,
And paths Of gloom pursue,
Who close Life's windows ever,
And keep no light in view.
But If they would be happy,
And priceless blessings win,
With life, and health, and vigor,
Just let the sunshine in.

WIN Eggs do not Hatch.

Although very possible precaution is
sometimes taken to make the setting hen
as comfortable as possible, the eggs
often fail to hatch. The difficulties are
of q character that cannot be discovered.
but much depends on the conditions re-
garding the management Of the laying
hens. If q hen is very fat she will lay
but few eggs, and the eggs from such q
hen will often fail to hatch. When cocks
are allowed to range with too many hens
the vitality Of the chicks is lessened, and
they die in the shell. Fowls that are fed
under q forcing process produce weak
offspring, and those that have been bred
in and in are not to be relied upon to
give good matches or produce healthy
chicks. Il The hen that steals her nest g

AN ARGUMENT FOR CREMATION.
Interesting Extract from Il Mon.
Opranh of lhr LnIp DIR. Cross.

From monograph published by the late
eminent surgeon, Samuel d. Gross, NJ. D.,
III. D., d. G. L., is made the following extract,
which, In view OF tho cremation of his 70.
mains, Will be read with marked interest at
this time:
'It people could see tho human body after
the process OF decomposition sets In, which Is
as soon as the vital spark ceases to exist, they
would not want to be buried; they would be In
favor Of cremation. Burying the human body,
think, is a horrible thing. II more was known
about the human frame while undergoing de-
composition people would turn with horror
from the custom OF burying their dead. 1t some'
times takes human body fifty, sixty, eighty
yeafs-yes, longer than that-to decay. Think
OF III The remains OF friend lying under
six feet Of ground, or less, for that length OF
time, going through slow stages OF decay, aud
other bodies all this time being buried around
these remains. Think OF thousands OF such
bodies being crowded into n tew acres of
ground, and then reflect that these graves, or
many OF them, In time MI with water, and
that water percolates through the ground and
mixes with tho springs and wells and rivers
from which we drink. Why, II people knew
what physicians know, what they have learned
In the dissecting. room, they would look upon
burning the human body as beautiful art In
comparison with burying It. There Is some
thing eminently repulsive TO mo about the
idea OF lying few feet under ground for q
century, or perhaps two centuries, going
through the process OF decomposition.

The scene OF the lesson is on the low porch
