How to Get Rid Of MoIes.

The ground mole has been for long
time constant source of annoyance to
gardeners and farmers, and the ques-
ton has often been asked: '1s there
no way of getting rid of this pest with
out the tedious process of trapping
it?'' which, at best, is only partial
relief To this question | answer, yes.
The remedy | have known for many
years. Like everything else that is
given gratis, perhaps, some will be
found to deny or contradict the good
effect of this remedy; but I challenge
contradiction and demand fair test
from the public. One pint of the seed
of the castor oil bean (Ricinus COM
NUNS, or Palma ChristI is sufficient to
clear any garden of an acre or less for
the season. if properly dropped in their
runs, which is simply to thrust the
forefinger into the mole hill and then
drop a bean there, which he will be
sure to eat next time he comes along
at the same time covering up the hole
made by the finger with a bit of earth,
chip, stone, or clod, SO as to make the
run tight as before and keep out the
light. This plan have found e6ectual
in all gardens where [ have tried it. LIZ
is not quite so satisfactory in grass
lands, because it is often hard to find
all their runs in the grass. Also, in
planting corn in fields where this pest
abounds, if 3 seed be dropped occa-
sionally in the hill along with the corn
the mole will eat the bean in preference
to the corn; and, as sure as he eats it,
that is the last of him. If this plan be
adopted when the moles first begin to
run, which is generally after the gar
den is made and nicely planted, they
| are easily got rid OF, and no trap OF
any kind need ever be introduced into
the garden. This saves much time,
| labor and annoyance. Bennett, tns

Chickens in the Garden.

Young broods of chickens. are bene7

very destructive and can not be allowed
within its precincts. a number OF
young broods, with the hens confined in
coops, will do much in destroying the
insects. The insects in the garden are
legion, particularly in dry times

THE Pill GRIM AND THE FLOWER.

o simple flower, springing where
The lonely meadows sleep in green,
You Ope your tinted petals fair,
And breathe an incense DER the scen9s
Won cheer nv eye with smile SO sweet
pause to rest my pilgrim 1eet-
A elittering star shone out in spring
You rose to dream beneath its ray;
A bird sang by on purple wing
Your bud uncurled to hear its lay.
4 came from bournes know not where
/ emily know my Lord is there.
You are a joy in this green spot,
You drink the air like golden wine;
You labor not, you sorrow not,
The stars like angels on you shine
wander forth the child Of fear,
And leave in each new land tear.
When silver twilight, like a zone,
Rests where the sunset glories die,
THE FREELY makes your bloom his throne
He Is your star. you are his sky.
No golden lamp with joy-born flame :.
In beams of beauty bathes my name
On dewy moss you rest your brow:
The soft wind, like mothers kiss
Touches your lips. so smiling now
Dear flower, / know no JOY like thtsI
know not where to lay my head
Though all the wide world Is my bed!
Sad thoughts beat through my mind like rain,
Nv feet are weary with the dust.
Yet Heaven ne er heard my tongue complain,
My days are linked with earnest trust;
And like yon poor bird on the thorn,
My heart will sing cen though It's torn.
You bow your gentle bloom and die,
Kissed by the autumn's lips OF frost
God made my life immortal /,
Through dying, count no hope as lost.
You breathe your sweet soul to the air;
Where | breathe mine-lo! God is there.
Smile on, thou star Of this green places;
Your peace that in my soul finds birth
;Sneaks in the smile that lights my face;
And when your bloom Is lost to Garth
It's memory, like an angel blest
Shall find a heaven within my breast!

ian-MaIays. Their faces were clear of
tattoo, but from the loins downward
over the hips and thighs to the
knees, they were very closely tattooed.
Unlike Mayor tattoo, which follows
curved lines, the Samoans puncture
the color into the skin in closely dot
ted mass, with diagonal lines of bare
skin embellishing the design, which at
a distance looks almost like a pair OF
dark pants The instruments used are
usually the spines of the shaddock tree
or bone driven in with small mallets.
The coloring matter is burned candle
nut. The women do not tattoo. The
process is begun with the men at the
age of twenty, and is slow and painful.
AS among their civilized professional
brethren there is code of honor
recognized in the profession devoted to
this art, and this code is chiefly applied
so true is human nature in all its
aspects-to the maintenance of an ade-
quate scale ffees. A tattooer will some
times stop in the middle of his job, leaving
the subject half done until his pecuniary
demands are satisfied, and no profession

finish the E.usiness. A Samoan is no

RAILROAD matters are still quiet.
During the past week there have been
no new developments Of Importance,
but work is still being pushed. II
the F. M. & p. should determine
definitely to use the east side it would
expedite matters very much. A few
days will tell the whole story.
The Vest Vi,yinian says: The
Board of Directors Of the West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania road met at
thier Office in Fairmont on Monday
last, every member being present.
The committee-Prcsident Lowndes,
Col Ben. Wilson and Secretary Sands
appointed to confer with Pennsyl-
vania capitalists. made their report,
which was unanimously and harmon
iously adopted. To be brief, these
gentlemen were able to report that
every arrangement had been made in
the East for the building of the road,
every dollar having been raised, every
paper having been signed, sealed and
delivered. We said some time since,
it will be remembered, that the money
would be raised for the building Of
this road before we were ready to use
it. Our words have come true. There
is yet much to be done before the
construction work can be commenced.
The road has to be located between
here and Clarksburg, rights of way
to be secured, and last, but not least,
the money, $250,000, that was sub
scribed by Harrison and Marion, has
to be put in such shape that, when
needed, it will be forthcoming. We
have no doubt our Commissioners
will attend to this matter promptly,
and it is believed those Of Harrison
will do likewise. The preliminary
work that remains to be done will
take some time, but the company
thinks active operations will be be-
gun inside the next sixty days. or
course, we feel like rejoicing over the
situation, but having known for some
time that the road would really be
built, we cannot now be so demon
strative as we probably would have
been had the good news reached us
unexpectedly.
