THURSDAY MORNING.

The session opened with talk by DR..
Drew of Danvile on "Ensilage." There
is no doubt but this question of ensilage
is to be one Of great Importance for some
time 10 come till its proper place and Just
value is settled. DIR. Drew was a strong
advocate for ensiage and gave his expe.
rience in its use, which was favorable.
After Mr.. Drew, Mr.. Wocot of Ded.
ham (of whose farm and silo the FREEMAN
had an account some time since) spoke in
favor of the system and was questioned 10
considerable length. At the close of Mr.
Wolcott's talk a vote was taken to see how
many present had tired ensilage with
success, and expected 10 continue in its
use. Thirty-three voted for il and the
opposite being called, two on y responded.
1t was then proposed that the same vote
be taken at the next yearly meeting
which was ordered and put upon record.
Mr.. Powell of Burlington, the inventor
of the Powell vacuum process of handling
milk, was the next speaker. Mr.. Powell
made very elaborate introduction, which
was not material to the subject, and Of

A FARMER SAYS A WORD

w. 1. Simonds, pleasant.faced, witty
farmer from Roxbury, then took the
platform. He had never made less than
2U0 pounds per COW, and built silo in
'S2. From October of that year to Oclo
Der, 'S3, he sold over 5000 pounds of
butter from nine COWS, after supplying the
family. His wife, who was opposed to the
slo at first and was q good deal smarter
than himself, acknowledged that they
never made so good butter in the winter
1t sold as well as ever, bringing few
cents more than creamery quotations.
His cows were native and Jersey mixed.
The milk was kept in pans Of his own
invention, at The right temperature.
What is the right temperatureP
queried the s, cretary.
"Oh. my wife knows all about that
When the milk is fit 10 skim she skins 1t
But she won't have thermometer in the
house."
How many are there in the familyr
asked another.
-Four regular and frequently more.
Then we have to squeeze out little new
milk for the catl'
His silo cost him about 5000 and 1t was
hard and costly JOB TO put it in, and he
had sometimes thought if he had put The
money into some good fertilizers and the
fertilizers on his grass lands, that it might
have been about as profitable. When
asked whether he thought his silo paid,
he said he could hardly tell, or how he
should have succeeded the other way.
But after ALL" persisted Mr.. Tinkham.
"if an earthquake should swallow your
sio, would you build anotherp'
mo, shouldn't. It's great deal Of
expense and good deal of bother. If I
had it 10 do all over again, I should put
my money into fertilizers. Good grass
fields, rich enough to yield two tons an
acre twice year, make pretty good
butter"
Here the meeting adjourned for dinner.

POPULAR FALLACIES.

1t would add many years to the
average longevity of our species if
we could free the next generation
from the curse of the following falla-
cies, which are either direct sources
of disease or add an unnecessary bur-
den to the cares and troubles of do
mestic life: The idea that cold baths
are healthy in winter and dangerous
in midsummer that rain water is
more wholesome than s'hard' water !;
that bedrooms must be heated in
cold weather; that the misery of
everlasting scrubbing and soap-sud
vapors is compensated by the COM
fort of the lucid intervals that a
sick-room must be Theoretically clos
ed E; that it pays to save foul air for
the sake of the warmth; that
draughts are morbific agencies; that
catarrh is due to a low temper
ature that even in midsummer chill
dren must be sent to bed at sunset,
when the air just begins to be pleas
ant that an after-dinner nap can do
any harm; that the sanitary condi-
ton of the air can be improved by
the fetor of carbolic acid !; that there
is any benefit in swallowing jugfuls
of nauseous sulphur water; that rest
after dinner can be shortened with
| impunity; that outdoor recreation is
a waste of time; that athletic sports
brutalize the character; that a nor
NAL human being requires any other
stimulant than exercise and fresh air
| that mechanical contrivances can com.
pensate for the lack of manly
strength that any plan of study can
| justify the custom of stinting chill
dren IN sleep; that the torpor of mar
cotism is preferable to insomnia
that the suppression of harmless rec
reations will fail to beget vice and
hypocrisy; that stimulation is ident-
ical with invigoration that fashion
has right to enforce the wearing OF
woolen clothes in the dog days.

FASHION In BIBLES.

A representative of one of the
principal English bible publication
houses now on one of his tri-yearly
tours from New York through the
largest western cities. said as he
pointed to room full of samples of
bibles and prayer books: 'sFashion
enters into the bible business,
and the styles have never been so
numerous as now. When Moody and
Sankey were in the zenith of their
fame in this country, it was observed
that Mr.. Moody used bible bound
in limp covers, the leather of which
projected and turned down over the
edges. 1t was bible published
by comparatively small London
house, and had as an appendix a
concordance, and much chronological
and general bible information, such
as description of all animals, noun
tains, etc., mentioned in the bible.
Although this bible retalled as high
as s14, every bible student was
bound to have one as soon as it was
found that Mr.. Moody used one, and
the publishers made a fortune and
scornfully rejected overtures from
one of the richest bible publishing
houses in London. Then the latter
company, which enjoys the title of
the queens publishers, employed BIZ
BILE students, who wrote matter for
an appendix as exhaustive as that of
the bible used by Mr.. Moody, and
we have sold million and a quarter
of them. This immense sale was
largely due to the interest in bible
study melted by Moody and Sankey.
The revised new testament had an
immense sale for a while, and then
fell fiat, and very few are sold now,
the old version being demanded. 1t
took fifty years 10 introduce the King
James version, and the people will
be just as slow in accepting the lat
est translation.
The English can undersell the
Americans in small bibles and
prayer-books, but the Americans
have a monopoly in the sale of large
family and pulpit bibles. Very few
illustrated bibles are demanded, the
Dore bible heing the most popular of
these.

writing was the cultivation of pat
riotic spirit among the people of the
new republic.

A MAN WITH A MANIA FOR
"JIMSON."

A poorly-dressed, haggard man,
whose frame trembled as if he was
suffering from ague, by his peculiar
actions attracted the attention of peo
Pile living near Thirty first and Latona
streets. A little while afterward the
man was lying on the ground un-
conscious. When Officer McCurdy,
of the First district, got on the ground
it was discovered that the man, who
was in delirious condition, had
crawled from the yard and was lying
on the grass. He was foaming at the
mouth, and though ignorant OF his
surroundings, was convulsively tear
ing up the rank weeds that were within
his reach, and forcing them into his
mouth. DIR. Thomas G.. Rich, who
was sent for, administered emetics
which produced the desired effect.
When be had recovered sufficient

In the afternoon he trembled all

weed the man smacked his lips, and
said il was the choicest dish he had

thing like the opium habit. Probably
he has been taking snacks of it for

What we do and what we don't.

What a tender appeal for pity d
Comes to us out of book,
Where the veil of romance has tinged it,
How full of compassion we look.
But when poor, shivering mortal
Comes cold and hungry to our door,
We are apt to say in careless way
That paupers, at best, are bore.
When we hear of some ar-off mission,
And the deeds that some heroes do,
We tire of quiet position,
And want to be heroes, too,
Ana yet should some pressing duty
Wait to be done to-day,
How many of us would fold our hands
In the quietest possible way.
When we read sorrowful story,
We think how sweet it would be
To whisper to some poor aching heart li1a
A word of sympathy.
Yet how many hearts around us
Are aching with real pain,
And we never speak the comforting words
That might gladden. their lives again.
We repeat the Gospel story
OF Mary, the penitent-
But we mingle the gold of charity
With the dross of sentiment.
And when poor creature like her
Crosses our path some day
Forgetful of what the Master did
We scorn her and turn away.
We pity fancied sorrows,
Forgetful of the true;
We long to accomplish impossible things,
And neglect what we could do.
We talk in a sentimental way
Of Mary at Christ's feet,
While we would be the very first
To stone her in the street.
Why not wear for those around us
Loving, compassionate looks?
Why not save for sorrowing hearts tears
We waste on the pages of books?
Why not foster each kindly impulse,
Like precious, God-giving seed,
To scatter each day along hfe's way
For human hearts in need?

who see heavenly visions. The ex-
citement of the moment gave Arthur
back his strength. Raising himself
on his elbow, he lifted the bright
head beside him until he could look
into the love-lit eyes. In one mo-
ment they read the mistake of those
years in each others face. Each had
loved, each had misunderstood.
"Great God is it possible" but
the momentary strength forsook the
frame of the sick man and he fell
back on his pillow like one dead.
The doctor, still much confused,
had waited in the hall, from which he
was swiftly summoned to the sick
room.
For many days the fiickering flame
of life burned low, but it was fed
from the fountain of love in the
breast which now so often pillowed
the weary head. The kind old doctor
worked and watched as he had never
done before, and he and the little
landlady held many whispered con-
sultation in the hall about the turn
| which affairs had taken.
At last death was conquered. But
it was not for many weeks-not un-
til Arthur was strong enough to ride
out by the sparkling blue sea-did
the two speak of the past. Then,
when they had put it away forever.
Arthur drew his wife to him very ten

A Kiss in the Rain.

One stormy morn CHANGED to meet
A lassie in the town;
Her locks were like the ripened wheat,
Her laughing eyes were brown.
watched her as she tripped along
Till madness filed my brain,
And then-and then-I know twas wrong
kissed her in the rain.
With rain-drops shining on her cheek,
Like dew-drops on a rose,
The little lassie strove to speak
My boldness to oppose;
She strove in vain, and quivering
Her finger stole in mine;
And then the birds began to sing,
The sun began TO shine.
Oh, let the clouds grow dark above,
My heart is light below;
'Tis always summer when we love,
However winds may blow;
And I'm as proud as any prince,
All honors 1 disdain;
She says am her rain oeau since
kissed her in the rain.
