Wealth Of the English Church.

The English Church is enormously
rich Precisely what its income is the
two Archbishops who are at the head
of the establishment alone know, and
they keep that knowledge to themselves;
but with tithes, glebe, pew rents, and
other sources of revenue included. the
income is over S50,000,0O0 per annum.
Some of the most valuable property in
the United Kingdom belongs to the
Church of England, which has held it
ever since it was taken away from tho
Roman Catholics and bestowed by
Henry VIII. on his church to make the
fealty of the newly created bishops GER
tain and sure. The Archbishop of Can
terbury has an income of $75, 900 a
year. and the Archiepiscopal Palace
given him as residence besides. The
fortunate holder of this pleasant posi-
ton is Right Hon. and Most Rev. Ed
ward White Benson, who succeeded
Archbishop TAFT in 1882. He has a

Dairy Hints.

Some milk producers object to tur.
nips and other roots as ration for DAIRY
cows on the ground that they faint the
butter. This is true, if fed in large
quantities. But these same men will
allow their cows to drinksall summer
out of filthy, slow-running brooks or
muddy sloughs, or clay-laden streams.
No one likes a turnip flavor in butter,
but it is not as bad as that of the stable
or OF a foul brook. As eighty-seven
per cent. of milk is water. and that
water is taken into the system of the
cow with her food and drink, it is appa-
rent that pure drinking water is as
desirable as good food. Next to plenty
OF good pasturage during the next three
months is plenty of pure fresh water,
and every dairy farmer who has no
spring which supplies his pasture should
provide well. and if possible wind
mill. If the well be deep. 1t is not
advisable to give grain during the flush
grass period, but as soon as drouth and
dry pastures begin to lessen the flow of
milk, supply fodder corn or grain. The
flow OF milk once lost is not easily re-
stored. 1t is generally understood that
If turnips are fed only directly after
or during the milking, they will
little affect the flavor of the next milk
ing. Beets seldom affect the milk
except favorably. -Prairie Fdynaer.

COMPENSATION.

There's never a day so sunny
But little cloud appears:
There never q life so happy
But has had its time of tears:
Yet the sun shines cut the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears
There's never a garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There never a heart so hardened
But IL has one tender spot;
We have only TO prune the border
To find the forget-me-not.
There's never a cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There's never u path so rugged
That bears not the prints of feet:
And we have a Helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never a sun that rises
But we know t will set at night:
The tints that CLEAN in the morning
At evening are just rs bright;
And the hour that il the sweetest
Is between the dark and light.
There's never a dream that's happy
But the waking makes US sad;
There's never dream of sorrow
But the waking makes us glad:
We shall look some day with wonder
At the troubles we have had.
There's never a way so narrow
But the entrance Is made straight;
There's always guide TO point us
To the little wicket gate"
And the angels will he nearer
To soul that is dcsolate.
There's never heart so naughty
But will some day bow and knecl;
There's never Il heart so wounded
That the Saviour can not heat;
There's many a lowly forehead
That is bearing the hidden seal.

The Shore OF q Statesman.

Congressman Warner, of Tennessee

Last session it was his custom, wher
weary, to put his feet upon his desk
swing himself back in his chair, anf
nod off into the happy land of dreams
One day while indulging in his favorih
habit he began to snore.
Congressman Warmers snore is
fine, large, able-bodied snore. 1t is ex
quisite in its resonant music. and Il
breaks of in its sweetest places into 8
delicious snort. 1t pursues its sad
avocation in hum-drum sort of way
when MIR. Warner is ensconced in the
privacy of his bedroom, but, on thin
occasion, the snore saw that it was il
distinguished company, and it bumped
itself for the greatest effort of its lie
It scared up to high c, and then it sani
pown to low G.. It INDUCED in q pro
fusion of grace notes, then it walled
like the flute that the amateur tackles
in the Silly hours of night. Pretty
soon the snore began to make itself felt,
also heard, and the members forgot
themselves under the witching intu-
ence of it's melody. The spore noticed
this and redoubled its Efforts. and, as Il
increased in volume, it caught the
Speakers ear. Mr.. Keller raped with
the gavel and said:
1.-The gentleman from Tennessee i:
out of order. and to be recognized he
must offer his resolution to adjourn
while standing"
Congressman Dibrell. one of Mr..
Warmers colleagues, taking in the
situation, shook the snoring statesman
and said
"Dick, what in the world are you
doing? You have gotten the House in
terrible confusion. and Keifer thinks
you have made motion to adjourn

rubbing his eyes. "Why, / was only
