To Make a Happy Home.

!. Learn to govern yourselves, and
to be gentle and patient.

in season of ilI-health, irritation and
trouble, and soften them by prayers and
a sense of your own shortcomings and
errors.
3. Never speak or act in anger until
you have prayed over your words or
acts, and concluded that Christ would
have done so in your place.
A. Remember that, valuable as is
the gift Of speech, silence is often more
valuable.
5. Do not expect too much from
others, but remember that all have an
evil nature, whose developments we
must expect, and which we should
forbear and forgive, as we often desire
forbearance and forgiveness ourselves.
6. Never retort sharp or angry
word. II is the second word that
makes the quarrel.
7. Beware of the first disagreement.

voice.
9. Learn to say kind and pleasant
things whenever an opportunity offers.

Against w eed Seeding.

Mr. w. F. Brown, who knows how
to have a good garden, writes to The
National Stockman against weed seed
ing after the lettuce, radishes and
early peas have gone past use, the
ground is neglected and produces a crop
of weeds, which natures seed enough
to stock the farm. Now make it rule
to remove a crop just as soon as it is
past use, and start something else to
growing. If there is time to mature
weeds there is certainly time to grow
something valuable, and it will pay to
work the land once in two weeks for the
sake of keeping it clean lift did not pro-
duce anything. If after keeping the
garden clean for years you neglect it
for one summer, the fight will all have
to be gone over again. 1t takes from
five to eight years to get land free from
weed seed, as have proved by careful
experiment, and the cost of cultivating
garden is doubled if the land is full of
seed. Iplanted in my garden one year
two hills of mastynia--a plant recon-
mended for pickles and as we made no
use of it, and it seeds profusely, our gar
den was badly seeded with it, | did
not allow a plant of it to bloom after
that, but it was eight years before / got
rid of it."

According to statement made by
Gen. Grants sons, Fred and jesse, il
appears they have made way with a
neat amount of other folks money
The liabilities are set down at $2,215,-
066, with assets nominally worth 81, 800,
013. Among the preferred creditors in
the Grant family are Mrs. Cramer,
(Gen. Grants sister, for $73, 600; Mrs.
Honore, 49, 00 Mrs. Corbin, $25 900:
and Mrs. Fred Grant, $4,000. The ali
is full of charges against Gen. Grant
and family, but whatever may be prov
en- true as regards his foolish boys, the
public will be slow to credit anything
actually dishonorable of the ex-Presi-
dent. Like many other people he has
been drawn into unwise business enter
prises which he never would have
touched had his foresight been as good
as his hindsight. His eagerness for
gain is a poor subject for criticism,
though he is not singular even in that
respect.

The first crop report of the Miller's
National association is complied from
reports sent by over three thousand
correspondents in various parts of the
country to inquiries made by the secre-
tary of the association. From all quar-
tiers the most fattering accounts Of the
condition of both winter and spring
wheat come, but the aggregate reports
disclose a scarcity of wheat in the
country that had not been
dreamed of. They show that in
every section the mills are short of
wheat, instead of having surplus stock
as in former years, and that in three
sections the mills will require all that
is raised this year, no matter how large
the crop may be. Probably never be-
fore has there been such general
scarcity of wheat at milling points. This
scarcity among the millers will go tow
ard reducing the export surplus of this
years crop, even if it should be the
largest one known.

Col Fred Grant, feeling that open
confession is good for the soul, frankly
admits that he was fool to go into
partnership with Ward, and he adds
that his father, brothers and other rel
atives bear family likeness of folly for
permitting themselves to be made the
prey of such scamp. There will be
many who viii be disposed to accept
the young mans estimate of the business
sagacity of himself and the Grant family.
Their genius very plainly does not lie
that way. General Grant himself fur
nishes the most striking illustration of
the lion and the lamb lying down to-
gether. On the battlefield the stern
warrior was leonine enough, butin Wall
Street he has shown himself to be the
simplest hearted and the most thorough
" shorn lamb that ever ventured into
the stamping groupd of the bulls and
bears. And it VIII be well if he finally
escapes with soiled reputation.

infection From NURSERY stock

Close planting in the nursery is a
most frequent cause for the appearance
of scale insects in destructive numbers.
Young orange trees are planted in rows
a few inches apart, and are often left
for years in close ranks, with their
branches interlocking, and affording
easy passage for the migrating young
of back lice, that if they effect a lodg
ment upon any plant, the entire row
and even the whole nursery, is quickly
overrun by them. The crowding of the
plants prevents free growth; they are
stunted, and for want of nOurishment,
as well as lack of light and air, they are
thrown into a condition in which are
particularly liable to the attack of scale
insects. In common parlance, "they
breed scale" In the existing almost
universal distribution of the pest, those
nurseries only can be kept from becom-
ing foul in which reasonable amount
of space is allowed to each plant for
it's growth and cultivation. At least
eighteen inches should intervene be-
tween the plants, and the rows should
not be less than three feet apart. Elk
perience teaches that it is easier to keep
clean and uninfested, a large, well-or-
dered nursery, than it is to remove the
scale insect from single orange tree of
moderate size when once the pest has
become fully established. No part of
the grove is so liable to suffer neglect
as the nursery, and it is unfortunately
very common practice to allow seed
ling plants to grow up without atten-
ton in neglected corners, and frequent
ly to become so foul with scales as to
become source of infection to the
groves and nurseries In the vicinity.
To this neglect. undoubtedly, is due
the fact that the advance of insect pests
has fully kept pace with the orange in
dustry in the recently occupied districts,
both in Florida and in California

The inquiry is suggested by finan-
cial writer, in view of the recent wall
street "shrinkages" of supposed great
fortunes, whether or not, if bottom
facts were known, we have as many mil
honaires in this country as we are ac-
customed to think. The men reputed
to be immensely wealthy carry big loads
of stock, as a rule, and it is very diff
cult to say what proportion of their
value is real, and what is merely ficti-
tious and liable to take to itself wings
at any unlucky moment. A recent
careful writer expresses the opinion
that there are probably not dozen
persons in the United States who would
prove to be worth million dollars each
if their estates were suddenly settled on
qn actual cash basis.

Good, plain, common-sense people,
who prize the great advantage of self
government and all the mumiments of
liberty, handed down by the fathers at
the cost of blood and treasure, should take
care that he who attempts to break
down the inestimable right of trial by
jury, shall be spotted as an enemy OF
free institutions, and likewise the cal
low editor who mouths and re-echoes in
print such mischeivous doctrines, and
also the preacher who knows not what
he does when he unsettles the very
foundation stone of the temple of Gber-
ty. Let such unconscious allies of tyra-
ny learn that the people know their own
rights, "and knowing dare maintain
them"

Judge Black and Shakespeare.

"The late Judge Black, says writer
in The Philadelphia Press, "was
Shakespearean critic and authority, and
nothing grated on his ear more harshly
than misquotation. During the last
constitutional convention, of which he
was member, the county delegates
could scarcely make a speech without
dragging in some poetical except which
they usually butchered, and the
Judge, who never knew whether
he was in or ont of order,
would interrupt them with his correc-
tions, or would go to the clerks desk
and see that the lines were printed right.
One day there had been an unusual
number of mishaps of this kind, and
the Judge had secured leave of absence
to go home. just before leaving he
walked over to Mr.. George w. Biddle's
seat and said: 'Biddle, | am going
away, and if in my absence, you allow
any injustice to be done to the memory
of William Shakespeare | will hold yen
personally responsible

Thursday evening the 29th. Henry Irving
presided. Ellen Terry was present Irving,

was home and not a land of strangers. They

graced the banquet that evening. Above all,
we brought from America most profound i'm
pressions of love of Americans toward the
mother country. The new friends we made in
America will doubtless cordially greet us when.

conrtship Drifting womanward

A writer in the Home Journal be-
lieves that the old fashion courtship is
passing away, and asking what are to
be the regulations of courtship during
the transitional epoch, answers as fol
lows: "Nominally and theoretically
the man still does all the counting, but
really and practically women are taking
the matter into their own hands.
Enough of the restraint of chivalry has
remained to prevent them from openly
proposing marriage to the object of
their choice; but there are a thousand
ways in which lady of tact may WOO
and vet not transcend the bound OF
etiquette. The present method is a
hybrid between the one-sided counting
of knightly days and the custom which
will prevail when women have their
proper position in the perfected society
IN the future. In word, courtship is
now evidently drifting womanward, by
which we mean that the ladies will con-
stantly take a more and more active
part in it, until in the day when wom-
an shall have her rights. the most
important of which is marriage. it will

An Heroic Deed.
New York Tribune.

Greater love hath no man THAI this,
that man lay down his life for his

Balm, of the steamer State of Florida,
did. The only woman saved from the
wreck of that vessel was Stewardess
Jane MacFarland, Of Glasgow, and
she owed her life to the self-sacrifce
of tho chief engineer He was in one
of the boats when he saw that this wom-
an was left on the sinking steamer. lie
gave her his place, returned 20 the
Florida and went down with her. Such
a deed recalls that thrilling scene on
the sinking Birkenbead many years
ago. There was only room in the boats
for the women and children, and there
were many British troops on board, At
the command of their officers these
brave men put all the women and little
ones in tho boats; then drew up with
parade steadineSs on the deck, and as the
vessel sank they fired volley and went
down with her, their ranks unbroken to
the last. That vas collective heroism,
but it was not nobler than the perfect
self-devotion and manliness which the
Scotch engineer displayed when he de-
liberately gave mp his own life that a
helpless woman might be saved.
