path it takes the left-now up, now
down; now by the burying ground, and
by old gates and older stones, skirting
the Kedron vale, and then Gehennah' S
gulch; then by narrow foot path past
the garden patches, past old knotted,
gnarled olive trees; past Bethany's mud
houses clinging to the dreary, blistered
walls and past the golden gate skirting
the valley of Jehosaphat with his rock
tomb and that of Absalom and Zacha-
riah; past the St. Stephen gate that
gives view of sad Gethsemane and
Olivet; then through among the Mos
lem graves and tombs where waiting
women sit and mourn their dead; past
the Damascus gate, in view of Jeremi-
abs cave where erst he sat 50 many re-
cluse years and pondered DER the past,
and prophesied of future woes;
then past more walls and heaps of rub
bish, stones and aged olive trees that
have seen the tears and heard the signs

ern homes and streets again, and on a
modern pavement by lot of modern
traders shops stand we by Jatla gate

sixty minutes gone since we stood here

walls-been clear around the present

How To Keep Cider Sweet.

Pure sweet cider that is arrested in
the process of fermentation before it
becomes acetic acid or alcohol, and
with carbonic acid gas worked out,
is one of the most delightful beverages.
The following scientific method OF
treating cider preserves its sweetness;
When the saccharine matters by fer
mentation are being converted into
alcohol. if bent tube be inserted air
tight into the bung, with the other
end into pail of water, to allow the
carbonic acid gas evolved to pass of
without admitting any air into the bar
rel, beverage will be obtained that is
a fit nectar for the gods. A handy
way is to fill your cask nearly up to the
faucet when the eask is rolled so that the
buEg is down. Get common rubber
tube and slip it over the end of the
plug in the faucet, with the other end
in the pail. Then turn the plug SO
the cider can have communication with
the pail. After the water ceases to
bubble. bottle or store awsy.-Fa~rs.

Don't forget each day to allow a serv-

order in her room. Insist from the first
on the extreme care of the bed, Never
allow soiled clothing to be hung up in
bedroom till a convenient time comes
for washing it Tell the girl to keep
her door open when she is out of the
room. These rules are excellent, and
if the mistress is able to control her SER

be educative and of great value upon
the character of the servant. Many
mistresses will be often discouraged.

MINCED MANURE.
Why Fertilizers Should BE Applied In ,
PuIverized Condition.

TuNcTileu Sohutttohs
Fineness as a quality of manure has
considerable commercial value, es-
pecially for garden crops. Plant-food
is available only when it is in state of
solution, possibly when it is so finely
divided that it is on the point of solu-
ton. In the growing of garden crops
this is an important point; for there we
use manure almost, or quite, as much
to hasten the crop as to increase it.
Early vegetables bring the highest fig
ures, and many sorts are of much bet
ter quality if grown rapidly. The
quicker asparagus is grown the ten
derer it is, and the way to grow it rap
idly is to use fine manure literally.
The secret of profit IN growing cucum-
bers is plenty of manure, both broad
cast and in the hill, and that used in
the hill should by all means be thor
oughly fined. If we'll MANFRED the
crop is not only larger, but of
much better quality, and the plant is
better prepared to withstand the attacks
of insects. The reader knows how
much fine manure adds not only to the
earliness but to the quality of lettuce
To have it juicy and crisp it must be
grown rapidly, and therefore plenty Of
readily-available manure is required.
would not undertake to grow, musk
melons without an abundance of fine
manure, and if other than superphos-
plate or chicken manure, would put
handful in the hill along with the
seed. In the growing of musk melons,
manure plays its most important part
in hurrying up the growth of the plants,
to get them out of the way of the bugs;
for as soon as they reach the rough leaf
they are out of danger For a market
gardener to attempt to grow early peas
without liberal amount of fine ma
nure is to court disaster. Fine manure
on radishes makes them earlier, the
yield larger, and the betterment
of the quality of the vegetable alone
would be good return for the manure.
Fine manure makes radishes sweeter
and tenderer; rhubarb Is benefited as
much and in the same way. And so on
through the list of vegetables. 1t is
this quality of availability or solubility
which makes liquid manure so quick
in action. The addition of liquid to
solid manure is benefit oftentimes;
not because there is any virtue in the
liquid itself, but by reason of its action
on the solid matter, which it divides
and makes finer Many know of the
marvellous effects oftentime produced
by decomposed poultry manure; and
this is in great part due to the fine
ness of the manure.

should use minced manure. That is,

Curing Stammering Children,

An excellent and humane arrange
ment has been introduced into the ele-
mentary schools of Brunswick. All the
children who are found to stammcr or
stutter are examined by a specialist
physician, DIR. Berkham, who reports
upon the cause and degree of their in
trinity. They are then arranged in dis
tinct classes, apart from the other
scholars. where the lessons are given by
teachers from the deas and dumb school.
Four such classes were formed last
year, with an average of ten scholars
in each class. After a years patient
and useful training, most of the chill
dren were declared to be completely
cured of the malady, while an improve
ment was reported in the speech of all
of them. DIR, Berkham says that the
malady occurs far more frequently
among poor families than among the
well-to-do. and that unless it is dealt
with in the public schools. there is
small likelihood of the sufferers being
healed in later years.-N T. Post.
