s9~ There is so much level, arabic land
in this country that there will be no necessi-
ty for a long time to come for plowing steep
hillsides. Such plowing involves immense
losses by the washing of loosened soil on
the level lands below, where there is already
an excess Of vegetable matter. Many rough
hillsides should never have been cleared OF
their original forest, or if cleared should
have been replanted with timber with as
little delay as possible.

it has an admirable effect upon the general

duced to substitute them for pies, cakes and

MIR. BEECHER's VINDICATION.-The re-
marks of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher IN
Plymouth Church, at the conclusion OF his
Sunday morning sermon, in which he in
dulged in vindication of his course in the
late presidential canvass, are considered by
New York papers to have had decided et-
feet on many of those who have been recent
ly quoted as being disatfected toward the
Brooklyn pastor, because OF his support OF
Governor Cleveland. Many of the most
prominent of those alleged to have been
''disatfected" were conspicuous in applaud.
ing Mr.. Beecher, and at the conclusion OF
his remarks were the most prominent in
shaking him by the hand and extending
their congratulations.
During his remarks Mr.. Beecher explain
ed that his objection to the Republican par
ty during the presidential campaign was
that "after its splendid record in the conduct
of the war, and in establishing the Union,
it failed to crown itself with the last bios
soming honor" by holding out the olive
branch to the South. On this point he said :
GAS God is my witness would have shed
tears of the profoundest joy if in the Re
publican platform there had been even a
suggestion of welcome to the South, or II
one of the Republican candidates had been
Southern man. Then | could have said
that the party had planted and matured
seed, and was wise enough to pluck the
blossom. But the things WANTED were not.
Then, with convictions as deep as any l
have ever had in my life, and after grave
consideration and some doubts, went into
the canvass"

INFLUENCE OF THE SMALL STATES.-ln
electoral votes the small states count for
little beside such great commemorative as
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. In
Congress they stand in a similar attitude
Test of strength and apportionments OF in
fluence based on mere numbers of pOpula.
ton leave States like ours to cut but small
figure in the republic. Yet there is one
legislative body in which each State is the
equal of every other; that is the Senate,
which is made up by States and not by pop
ulation, and where Rhode Island or Della
ware is constitutionally equal to New York
or Texas, or any other great member OF the
Union. Standing in this way equal, the
States have the same opportunity, and the
question of their influence depends largely
upon the men whom they select as their
opponents there.
In looking over the roll of the Senate,
with the date of the beginning of each Sen
ator's term, it is interesting to see how in
teligently some Of the small States have
maintained their prominence in that body
by sending over and over again the same
men to represent them there, each year ad-
ding its wealth of experience, acquaintance
and knowledge to their fitness and their in
Huence. The smallest three States east OF
the Rocky Mountains are Rhode Island,
Delaware and Vermont. Rhode Island
sent Henry B. Anthony to the Senate in
1859, and kept him there until his death.
Delaware sent Thomas +. Bayard there in
March, 1869, and Eli Salisbury in March,
1871, and they are both there still. Yer
mont sent George F.. Edmunds there in
April, 1869, and Justin S. Morrill,, in March,
1867. There they still are, and nobody can
to-day name over the leaders of either par
ty in the Senate without bringing in the
''insignifcant" States whose vote in the
electoral college is SO slight that often the
figures only express contempt for it.-Ha't-
ford COurdnu.

SORE THRoAT.-One who has tried it
communicates the following about curing
sore throats: One ounce of camphorated
oil, and five cents worth of potash. When
any soreness appears in the throat, put the
potash in Il half tumbler full of water, and
with it gargle the throat thoroughly; then
rub the neck thoroughly with the camphor-
ated oil at night before going to bed, and
also pin around the throat strip of wooen
flannel. This is simple, cheap and sure
remedy.

gay- It is good plan in churning not to
put in the two or three last messes of cream.
If churning has to be done every day, it
should be of the cream gathered twenty
four to forty-eight hours before. In small
dairies the cream should be stirred slightly
every day, toprevent danger of injury from
mould.

Nor ALL AyARICIoUs.-In the Straits
of Magellan there are places where, which
ever way a captain puts ship, the wind will
always be against him, and there are men
running all their lives in the teeth of the
wind. There are great many men who
have business burdens. You hear it is av-
arice that drives them. l don't believe a
word of it. The vast multitude of business
men are toiling for others, toiling toeducate
their children, toiling to put wing OF pro-
lection over the household so that when
they are gone their loved ones will not go

Ban The Improbable trees in an orchard,
if they have sound bodies, should be graft

EARLY CARD FIGURES.-The habit of
card playing must have been much confirm
ed and extended in England by the mar
riage of Phillip, of Spain, with Queen Ma
ry, whose numerous and splendid retlnue
ate love of cards which prevailed at the
Spanish court. 1t seems probable that the
cards then used (whatever they might have
been before) were of Spanish origin, form
and figure, in compliment to the imperious
Phillip; since even to this day the names
of two Spanish suits are retained on Eng
lish cards, though without any reference
to their present figure. Thus one suit Is
called spades, from the Spanish, e$pdlo,
sword, although no smlitude of the sword
is retained in the figure, and another clubs
in Spanish, ddstos, without regard to the fig
llre also.
