Experimental Station: Gone part of
paris green mixed with 200 parts of
ground limestone proved entirely sue
cessful against the larvae of the potato
beetle. Great care is, however, required
to secure a thorough admixture of the
two substances where SO small proper
ton OF the poison is used. In this dilu-
ton paris green seems to lose it's danger
to the human family, as we can scarcely
imagine injurious results coming from
its use to the careful man."
SCAB is highly contagious. Sheep
are sure to take it, if there is only
fence between sound and infected
ones. It will develop in eight
days after contact. It is readily
cured. Soft soap two pounds, palm
oil one pound, crude carbolic acid
one pint, American potash four ounces.
Melt and mix In two gallons of water.
Then dilute in five gallons of boiling
water. Part the wool and pour it on
from can with small spout. One APP
plication is enough, but the entire sur
face must be covered. The above are
the proportions of articles to use. Mix
up as needed according to the number
of sheep. =
IT has been we'll said that ga good

IT is stated in the Practical Farmer
that {" the advantage of rye as an early
forage crop is never realized till tested.
People will raise rye, and because il
looks SO fair and promising, they shrink
from feeding it in its green state; il
looks like waste, they say. But this is
a great mistake, as it is far better econ
omy than to allowit to go toseed and then
feed the grain, or to buy hay or fodder

tious as hay when cut during the bloom
ing period, and will not cost one-fourth
as much. OF course green rye must
not be depended on for working animals
without full allowance of grain any
more than you would depend on hay OF
corn fodder without grain. It only
makes a cool, juicy filling for the animal,
| just adapted for the season of the year.
Cut off early in May it leaves the ground

FROM the Boston Globe.l
"Do you see that man over there ?'
said q prominent business man as he
pointed out small nervous looking man
who had just entered the Stock Exchange
yesterday. "Well, that man has ex-
perienced the most remarkable series of
singular condolences. It rivals the
thirteen at-dinner story and the proven
bal unlucky Friday, with the exception,
however. that his especially lucky and
unlucky day happens to be Monday"
Introduce me to him, and perhaps
he will relate it to me, suggested the
reporter.
He wouldn't say a word about it for
publication, and in fact he is decidedly
averse to speaking of it at all. The re.
cital of it seems to fill him with gloomy
forebodipgs feeling that he cannot
shake off. One lucky Monday thirty
five years ago he came into this world.
and on another lucky Monday fifteen
years afterwards he married the girl of
mis- choice, who was born on Monday
seventeen years previously. Two bright
boys were the result of this happy
union, and each of them was born on
Monday. So far the coincidence bore
a lucky aspect, and the singularity of
the events was often the topic of CONVEX
sation among the members of the family.
The events took different turn. One
Monday night the father returned home
to find his wife suffering from an attack
of fever, from which she died on the fol-
lowing Monday. The two promising
boys are also dead, and both passed
away on Monday. The husband and IA
ther left alone is rapidly going down the
decline of life, and not Monday goes
over his head but he broods over the
strange fatality and of his own end,
which he feels sure is fated to fall on
Monday"

Seeking a Fortune by Litigation.
[From the Bangor Commercial |

Herbert Blake, Hallowelllaw has
invented an ingenious scheme to make
fortune. He has sued the treasurers
of nearly every corporation in the state

their condition of business, as required
by law. Eight summonses have been
served on treasurers of Lewiston corpora
tons to appear at the superior court, in
Kennebec County, the second Tuesday
in February, to answer in the above
suits. Blake makes a wholesale prosecu-
ton. He will make, if he RECEIVERS, be.
tween four and six thousand dollars in

THE WRONG PEW.

The sunlight through the windows poured like rain

While maids and matrons passing talr, ana men OF

All fashions proudest votaries, knet low on Bonded

And there was one of stature tall, whose robe OF

What is that jeweled thrOng of dainty wor-
Their hearts have probed the cruel wrong thatran-

For she who sat beside her thereah heart OF haru-

Swept forth with stern and naughty stare, and left
her there alone.
Then one God bless her woman's heart! the lowell

Stepped down the aisle with stately tread, and cal IN

Alas alas for paltry pride arrayed in rich ATTIRE
And woe is me for priestly praise which is oul

But Gods great angel guards the gate and stands

For when some mystic touch awakes the chords OF

His awful hand holds down the note, and clasps the
quivering key.
Bend low, bend low the lofty brow and bring the
sackeloth gown:
Throw dust and ashes our heads, and through

Because the good God sits in heaven, and such

She entered the dressing room. Upon
the table was Friar' basket of herbs, and
among them the potion bottle. The
bottle contained water. Morley glanced
about her. No one was in sight. She
drew the cork from the bottle. She
took the ring from her finger, anc
touched a secret spring-the stone flew
back, disclosing a small cavity. One
drop of milky-white liquid was all the
cavity contained. The ring is held over
the potion bottle, and then the cork il
replaced, and the bottle put back in the
basket. Morley went rapidly from tht

hotel, passed into her chamber.

La Tour lifts the bottle to her lips, and

no response, however. Sage stagers
have been as dumb in the face of such

The fash of demon jealousy from her
