''PUSH"

Little boys and girls, in going around
town, have you not noticed the word
''push' in big letters, over the doors
of business houses? This means,
that if you want to get in there you
must "push. " There is no bell to ring
for some one to open for yon oh, no,
you must push your way in.
But aside from various business
houses there is mansion into which
everybody would like to enter; but
iuto which very few gain an entrance
because they fail to ''push." 1t is a
grand house, beautiful house and
the name of it is the blouse of Sue
cess" If you ever get INTO thus house
you will have to push your way into
ii ; not rudely, nor in hurry; but po-
litely and firmly. 1t may take all your
strength, but if you are resolute
and patient, the ponderous door will
swing open to you.
If anything gets in your way push
it out. Never wait for luck to come
along and help you out. There never
was a myth or bigger humbug than
.'luck." But If a doctrine of ''luck"
has been instilled into you already
children just remember this, that
"good luck" always comes to them
that help themselves to those who
work and ''push, land "bad luck" to
those who are faint hearted or who
wait for others to help them. Now lit
tie boys when you have hard problem
in arithmetic, what do you do? Do you
get your little sister TO do it or do it
yourself? If your sister does it the
next one will be just as hard for you
put it you push it through yourself
you will be stonger next time. Push
all the time through shadow and sun.
shine and bye and bye you will get
into the big house.

Ancient Woodworking.

Among the papers read at meeting
on Monday of the Society of Antiquaries
of Scotland was one on a wood-carver' S
tool-box found in a bog in the island of
AWE, Orkney, and exhibited by the find
er. The box, which measures III in.
in length by A in. in breadth, and in.
in depth, is deliberately ornamented by
running pattern of diverging spirals,
and other designs of specially Celtic
character. The box was furnished with
sliding lid which is now in frag
ments, and it contained series of tool
handles made of bone and horn, evi
IDENTIFY for carving in wood or some sucf
purposes. The blades of the tools, which
had been of iron, have entirely persisted
but there remained in the box the piece
of pumice stone with which the carver
used to polish up his work. This boz
is one of the oldest bits of wood carving
known in Scotland.-I'adustridl World

Science and Religion.

The antagOnism between science and
religion, about which we hear so much,
appears to me to be purely Fictitious
fabricated, on the one hand, by short
sighted religious people who confound
a certain branch of science, theology,
with religion; and, on the other, by
equally shortsighted scientific people
who forget that science takes for its
province only that which is susceptible
of clear intellectual comprehension, and
that outside the boundaries of that
province they must be content with
Imagination, with hope, and with lgno-
rance.
1t seems to me that the moral and in
tellectual life of the civilized nations of
Europe is the product of that interact-
ion, sometimes in the way of antagon-
ism, sometimes in that of profitable
interchange, of the Semitic and the
| Arvan races. which commenced with
the dawn of history, when Greek and
| PhGnician came in contact, and has
been continued by Carthaginian and
Roman, by Jew and Gentle, down to
the present day. Our art, Except per-
| haps, music) and our science are the
contributions of the Aryan; but the es
sence of our religion is derived from the
Semitic. In the eight century B. c., il
the heart of a world of idolatrous pc
lytheists, the Hebrew prophets put fortl
a conception of religion which appear:
to me to be as wonderful an inspiration
of genius as the art of Pheidias or the
science of Aristotle.
"And what doth the Lord require
of thee, but to do justly. and to low
mercy, and to walk humbly with tn.
GodP'
If any so-called religion takes ava.
from this great saying of Micah, thinl
it wantonly mutilates, while, if it add
thereto, think it obscures, the perfec
ideal of religion.
But what extent of knowledge, wha

enough to make the attempt? Will tn
progress of research prove that justic
is worthless, and mercy hateful; will
ever soften the bitter contrast betwee
our actions and our aspirations; or shoN
us the bounds of the universe. and bi

Charter street, Boston. Some of the
coins date back to the thirteenth and

A Silly Man of Science.

AT an agricultural board meeting in
Massachusetts, speaker on the sub
ject of Insects and their Habits re-
marked that it is as absurd to speak of
the rose-bug," the seventeen-year
locust" and the "fying grasshopper
as it would be to speak of a " Devon
horse" or a Southdown bull" 1t
would seem that very little thought
might have taught this entomologist
that he, and not the public, was guilty
of whatever absurdity there is in the
matter. Nobody (unless perhaps some
"great American humorist " ever
speaks of "Devon horses" though as
matter of fact there are plenty of
horses in Devonshire. But it is as per-
fectly proper as it is common in ordi-
nary conversation to speak of "rose-
bugs" and this although modern ento-
biological science has placed the insect
in question among the beetles, making
the "bugs" separate family. But
while this is all right for purposes of
classification, the entomologist should
remember that in popular parlance
beetles have always been bugs. AS
we'll blame a merchant for offering
saltpeter for sale because modern chem
istry, after making various changes,
now agrees for awhile to call it "potas-
SUM nitrate" The scientific gentle
men have a perfect right to make the
change, but they have no right to ridi-
cule those not so scientific if they con-
tinue to use the old names. AS one of
Shakespeare's characters remarks of
rats, "there be land-bugs and water
bugs" and yet the insect usually known
in cities as the waterbury," is not bug
entomologically, any more than the
bug. But it is totally absurd to demand
that popular phraseology should follow
closely all the name-changes of techni.
cal science, and the scientific speaker
who demands it only exhibits his own
lack of common sense.

large, but the herds-grass and red-top 1
never saw excelled-the former stand
ing foe feet high by measure, and very
thick, and the crop continued heavy
several years. Other instances of SINH
lar effect have come to my knowledge.
A starred crop or half-crop cannot pro-
duce such results.
Perhaps l ought in this connection to
name the fact that the first of this kind
of grain sowed in Randolph, about
1886, was on land owned jointly by
William Nutting, Esq, Seth Washburn
and Dea Parker, just east of the COM
mon. Three and one-third acres, by
measure, were sowed, and each at har-
vest had a few quarts over one hundred
bushels, or trihe over ninety bushels
per acre, the next year sixty bushels,
and no such yield ever followed after
wards. Will the professors tell us why?

THE great Agassiz said once, in talk
to a farmers meeting, "The training
of scientific men consists of nothing
else but learning how to set aside their
own doings, to criticise their own OBJ
servations, so that they shall know
what has value and what has none"
And he added that he thought New
England farmers would learn that very
soon. This was great compliment to
the Yankee mind, and one in large
degree merited. There is no part of
the world in which genuine practical
agricultural science is taking so strong
hold of the minds of the working
farmers as in the New England States.

Gateau de Banana.

Use the rule for Twelfth Night
cake" given in next to the last lesson.
For those who were not present will
give the bare formula: One cup of butter,
two of sugar, three and half of flour,
one of milk, yolks of five eggs, whites
of three eggs, three tea-spoonfuls of bak-
ing powder (even spoonfuls), one tea
spoonful of orange extract. This rule
is one of the best l know for variety
of uses in making desserts of fresh fruit
and for " Washington pie" Invert each
layer on plate when baked; spread it
with thinly sliced banana, and pour
over the banana a thick covering of
"White Mountain cream" Over this
place another cake, repeating the layer
of banana and cream. Slice the banana
as the cake is ready and cover at once,
as the frosting alone prevents the slices
turning black. The layers of cake
should not be too thick, may be added
in number according to individual
fancy, nor should the fruit and cream
be used sparingly. The "gateau may
be varied in dozen tempting ways,
oranges and pine-apples being delicious
substitutes for banana. The pineapple
is more delicate picked off with silver
fork.
WHITE MOUNTAIN CREAM.-This is
for the above: " Take one cupful of
sugar, one-third cupful of water, white
of one egg, one tea-spoonful of vanilla
extract, halfa cupful of grated cocoanut.
Boil the water and sugar rapidly for
fifteen minutes, or until upon putting
knife into it and then holding up the
knife the syrup falls from il in thread.
Beat the white of the egg so stiff that
it will not fall from the inverted dish,
and continue beating while some one
slowly pours the boiling syrup upon it.
Beat well, and on removing the beater
add the vanilla and cocoanut, beating
for a minute with spoon.-BoSton

The South Carolina PhOsphates.

1t is becoming well-understood fact
that the phosphate substances used in
making artificial fertilizers must, in
order to be rendered " soluble" be so
diluted or extended that when the pro-
cess is completed one barrel is made
into two, and the cost to the buyer in
creased in at least the same proportion.
The custom of analytical chemists in
styling the natural phosphates-either
bones or the mineral phosphates-" in
soluble" has created belief that the
acid treatment is absolutely necessary
to make them "available " as plant
food. But that this belief is not
founded on fact is becoming known to
cultivators by the successful use of
ground bones in their natural condition
These are everywhere known, now, to
be strong and active fertilizers of all
farm crops, especially when combined
with the wood ashes or potash salts
necessary to make them complete

But though driven from this strong
hold by the power of facts, the assert
ers of the uselessness of undissolved -
phosphates have rallied behind new
breastwork, somewhat in the rear of
their former position, and now declare
with equal positiveness that though
bones may be used to advantage
" sometimes" without being dissolved
with acid, the mineral phosphates, nc
matter how finely powdered, are of enc
more value than so much sand wher
applied to crops as fertilizer.
We have as strongly doubted thi
assertion as we doubted the other, ant

AS long as a farm has not reached
the highest point of cultivation, every
means must be pronounced acceptable
which puts the farmer in a position to
provide his fields with more liberal
dressing than he is able to give them
from his own supply of home-produced
natural manure.
THE red color of the mangels-and
red is only a concentrated yellow-is

calf would do it,
