A Case i'm Point,

Young Johnny Jaroley was inclined to
be a good boy, and his mother spent
much time in instructing him in the
enormity of the sin of telling falsehoods,
and to impress it upon him, wound up
by telling him that people who told lies
choked to death When the Rev. Mr..
and Mrs Muckle were taking dinner at
the Jarpley's, on ''return CALL" the
next day, Mrs. Jarpley asked her guest :;
$50, Mrs. Muckle, you like my cook
ing2"
at is splendid, Mrs. Jarpley, just
splendid" enthusiastically responded
Rev. Muckle's lady. "Mr. yarpley is for
tunate in the possession of such an ex-
cellent cook as yourself"
Just as the lady concluded she took a
sip of water, and few drops 'igoing the
wrong way" caused her to cough.
"There she goes! There she goes,
motherw' exclaimed young Jarpley in
great excitement 81 heard her say,
when you was out of the parlor, to Mr..
Muckle, she wished it was all over, as
one of your dinners was enough to kill
mule, and she wondered how your hus-
band had ever lived so long. '"-Pittsburg

Japanese girls spend all their extra
money in sashes and fancy pins for the
hair, and judge dress entirely by these
two details.
Feathers were first used as a head
dress by Marie Anti inette, who tried
their effects from curiosity, was pleased
with it and set the fashion.
So great is the demand for alligator
leather that about 400, 600 saurians were
slaughtered last year The skins sell at
from twenty-five to fifty cents each.
Two cases have been reported to an
English medical society in which the
electro magnet has been successfully used
for removing pieces of iron from the eye.
Locks of very curious construction,
known as "Apostie Locks" were com
mon in medieval times. These locks
had on the front the figure of one Of
the apostles, and on touching the hand
of the figure the bolts few back.
The drinking of healths originated
during the Danish occupation of Britain.
The Danes frequently stabbed English
men while in the act of drinking; and it
finally became necessary for the English,
in view of the constant repetition of this
dastardly mode of assassination, to enter
into compact to be mutual pledges of
security for each others health and pres
ervation; hence the custom of pledging
and drinking healths.
An automaton exhibited in London il
1888 represented man mounted on
small frame. On putting into an orifc

metallic cards which lay about with
questions inscribed Oh them, the figure,
after making you bow, struck with his
rod little door, which opened, and there
was the answer printed on another card.
The reply given was always strictly APP
propriate to the question, and was not of
mere general character, like the answers
on conversation cards.
There are in Shakspeaye's plays about
ninety deaths taking place either on the
stage or immediately behind. The modes
of death are various Cold steel-the
dagger or the sword accounts for about
two-thirds of the whole; twelve persons
die from old age or decay; seven are be-
headed; five die of poisoning, Including
the elder Hamlet, whose symptoms are SO
infinitely described by the ghost; two of
suffocation, unless, indeed, Desdemona
makes third; two by strangling; one
from fall; one is drowned three die by
snake bites, and one, Horner, the
armorer, is thumped to death with sand

The Holy Land.

The changes which have been going
on in the Holy Land are beginning to
make themselves felt by the tourist.
While Palestine must for a long time
wear the Oriental aspect it has man.
tanned from time immemorial, it shows
already the distinctive marks of modern
times and Western progress. A good
carriage road has been built from Jaffa
to Jerusalem, and thence to Bethlehem.
A telegraph wire runs from the seaboard
to the interior, Offices being established
at Nablour, the old city of Shechem,
where Jacobs well was, and where the
blessing and the cursing were read from
Ebel and Gerizlm, also at Nazareth, Ii
berias, and Damascus. Women grind
ing at the mill is now spectacle rarely
seen at Nazareth steam flouring-mill
taking the place Of the ancient method.
The puff of the steam engine is heard in
that city. 1t is only little while ago
that nothing in the way of building was
seen outside the old walls of Jerusalem.
Now two or three thriving villages lie to
the north and west of the city. A Ger
man colony has built town out toward
the plain of Rephaim, which, for thrift
and business, looks like manufacturing
village in Massachusetts. On the out
skirts of the city school for training
boys in farming, carpentry, and other
trades is maintained by tho London Mis-
sionary society. The country about Beth
lehem is quite recovered 10 the ancient
fertility. Stones are gathered from the
fields and utilized as fences, and the
ground is well TILED, AT Acre, Nazar-
eth, and, indeed, in most of the towns
of Palestine, a quite thrifty congregation
may be seen, worshiping in a gooo
church building. Mechanics and other
artisans, from England, Germany and
America are found in most of the chief
cities. Jerusalem has an orphanage for
boys founded by the Germans, and hav-
ing 800 inmates. There is also an or
phanage for girls, in which about 100
inmates are supported and trained for
some useful industry.

According to the best evidence obtain
able on the subject there is more profit to
the dairymen in medium and small cattle
than in larger ones. Those who are now
advocating the general purpose COW,

we cannot see why large steer is any
more profitable than a small one Each

cOrding to his size. Cuts from the car
cass Of large animals cost no more in
market than cuts from small ones.
Lambs may be weaned when from four
to five months old. They and their
mothers should be separated and placed
in lots out of sight of each other, and
along with the young things should be
put three or four wethers or dry ewes to
keep them tame. They should have a
good pasture and a little grain daily,
whereas the ewes should be temporarily
stinted for the purpose of drying up
their milk. Shearing time will, how
ever, have arrived ere this, when the
flock should first be passed in review and
dirty locks of wool cut off; then the
sheep should be washed, and in four or
five days, or as soon as the wool is dry,
they may be sheared.
Washed sheep should be sheared on
grass to keep the wool clean, the Access
sories being pen to enclose the sheep
and rough table on which to roll up
the wool. Notice should be taken of the
quantity and quality of the wool of in
dividual sheep for future guidance. If
clicks" are numerous on sheep OF lambs
they are very harmful, and both should
be dipped Immediately, or soon after
shearing, in preparation which will
destroy the pests. A decoction of to-
bacco with little sulphur added is as
good as anything. The lambs should be
sheared in August. This is an innovation
ON the custom of this country, but it will
be found to have a good effect on their
growth, and before the arrival of winter
they will have acquired a fresh fleece
quite sufficient to protect them.

The Field of Disease,

The necessity of having to work in
masses in the same building and at the
same monotonous, eyer-repeating labor,
in which the muscles are moving with
automatic regularity and the brain is left
unemployed, except to brood over real or
imaginary injuries, affects life to the
core and exerts lasting and injurious
effect on the vital value of the manufac-
turing classes. The agricultural laborer
may work hard, fare badly, be housed
shamefully, but has advantages. He is
engaged out of doors in the fresh air; he
has all the beauties of the external ma
ture to delight and refresh him. His
work is varied. There is the spring-tide
season, with its sheep washing and shear
ing; the summer, with it's hay time; the
autumn, with its harvest; the other
months of blowing and sowing---a
constant roundelay of work. with varied
change for the mind as well as the body.
The artisan has no such reliefs. He passes,
day by day, month by month, year by
year, through the same monotonous la
Dor, until at last his mind recognizes but
one scene, his hands fall but to one auto
matte routine. To the end of his career
he sees no change, no chance of being
made independent by his skill and in
dustry. When we add these difficulties
up, the struggle against perjury and ac-
tual want, the confined dwelling room,
the badly-ventilated, over-stocked bed
room, the Indifferent couch, the limited
sleep, the ever-returning toll, and the
rarity of human relaxation either of MIND
or body-when, / say, we add up all
these difficulties, we have before us evil
dence of vital strain which practically is
resisted longer than, at first sight, we
covld imagine to be compatible with hui
man endurance. -RichardS0n's Preventive
Medicine.

Farm and Garden Notes.

In draining it pays to drain well.
The zig gag rail fence is thief of the
soil
Oilcake is q valuable concentrated
food.
Sheep should have their pasture
changed once month.
An English authority condemns the use
of phosphates for tnrnips.
Sows are injured by having pigs before
they are fourteen months old
Turkeys suffer much from hot weather.
Let them have plenty Of water.
Hens are not worth much for layers or
breeders after they are two years old.
Charred corn, wheat, oats, rye or buck
wheat, are good for poultry once in a
while.
Cut your first crop of clover, and plow
the second under, if you wish to enrich
your land with green manure.
When you let your orchard run down
it is a sign that you, too, are running
down, like grandfather's clock.
The Canadians converted three hun
dred thousand bushels of turnips into
different kinds of jam Last season.
A teaspoonful of saltpetre dissolved in
a gallon of water has been recommended
for killing rosebugs on grapevines.
Oil the inside of horse collars after
thoroughly washing them with carbolic
soap, which both cleanses and disinfects.
A foreign creamery feeds buttermilk to
its horses with good results. A Jersey
brewery gives lager, and the horses are
lively.
One man puts green food, like clover
and grass, in barrels and sinks them in
the ground as a sort Of silo to preserve
the food for hens in winter
Joseph Harris says that to the farmer
the entire cost of cabbage, planting, cul-
tivating, harvesting, storing and market
ing, need not be over one cent head.
Do not be afraid to pinch back your
watermelons. 1t is better to have one
good large enc to vine than to have
three OF four little stunts that can never
ripen, and wouldn't be worth anything
if they did.
In the work on feeding animals, by
Professor Stewart, it is stated as the
results of careful experiment, that ten
pounds of turnips and one and half
pounds of corn will fatten young sheep
or lamb faster than three pounds of corn
alone.
Flax culture is now receiving atten-
ton This valuable crop requires rich
loamy soil, which should be deeply
broken, finely pu.verized and free as pos
sible from weeds or grass. 1t may go
into the ground in May. Ifsown for seed
three pecks to an acre is sufficient, but if
for fine soft fiber the amount should be
doubled, One bushel Of seed will give a

A Boy Failed.

Mr.. Osborne is very economical, but
at the same time very irascible parent.
Last Sunday his boy Tommy deliberately
disobeyed his father, whereupon the lat
ter seized his offspring, threw him over
his knee, and proceeded to rebuke him
in his usually energetic manner with the
palm of his hand. Tommy, who is
something of stratagem in small
way, thinking to gain time, exclaimed
"Pa, remember I've got my Sunday
clothes on. You will ruin them"
''That's fact" responded Osborne,
releasing the youth. ''You can take
them off, while go into the garden and
cut a dozen or so Of peach-trec switches. /"
