Berlin recently, in the debate on
the second reading of the Polish bill,
Herr Wirsebinski p~assiOnately de-
nounced the projected German colo
nization of Poland. He declared that
Poland would not perish although a
life or death struggle was imposed
upon her. Minister Lucius said that
The bill was an C of necessity and
self-defcnse. The Poles, he said, were
unwilling to become Prussian sub
jects. and dreamed of a restoration of
Poland, although they owed their pros
pcrity TO Prussia.

recently by a deputatiOn of unemployed
sworkingmen, who stated their griev-
ances and asked what the Government
meant to do to relieve the prevailing
distress. Chamberlain deprecated riots
and all similar forms of disturbance to
manifest the need of help. He said he
was opposed to emigration as a means
Of relief unless the distress was
chronic. This opposition was based
on many grounds, not the least of
which was the fact that the colonies
would refuse to welcome large num-
bers of paupers. because among other
reasons their influx would cheaper the
labor market. Chamberlain added that
he hoped the Government would soon
be able to establish the British laborer

SATISFIED.


After the toll and turmoil,
And the anguish Of trust belied;
After the burthon of weary cares,
Bafiled longings, ungranted prayers,
After the passion, and fever and fret,
After the aching Of vain regret,
After the hurry and heat Of strife,
The yearning and tossing that men call
"lifo; !"
Faith that mocks and fair hopes denied.
We-shall be satisfied.
When the golden bowl Is broken,
At the sunny fountain side
When the turf lies green and cold above,
Wrong, and sorrow, and loss, and love;
When the great dumb walls OF silence
stand
At the doors Of the undiscovered land;
When all we have left in our Olden place
Is an empty chair and pictured face
When the prayer is prayed, and the sigh
is sighed,
We-shall be satisfied.
When does it boot to question,
When answer is aye denied
Better to listen the Psalmist's redo,
And gather the comfort Of his creed
And in peace and patience possess our
souls,
While the weed Of fate in its orbit rolls,
Knowing that sadness and gladness pass
Like morning dews from the summer
grass,
And, when once we win TO the further
side,

Raising Lettuce.

Among the common salads there
is none in such general demand for
the table as lettuce. 1t is an easy
grower and yet 1t needs for its best
development a good soil and care
full culture. Lettuce is too often
treated as subsidiary crop, and
is sown too thickly in seed-beds
and grown too thickly together.
The lettuce bed should always,
where possible, be set apart from
the rest of the garden in some way
so that it may be cultivated freely
without disturbing other vegeta-
bles. Not only should the soil be
mellow, deep and highly enriched
with manure, but it should have
full exposure to the air, with per-
feet draining. In the opinion OF
Mr.. William Farley, an authority
on the kitchen garden, those who
would secure a fine growth Of let
tuce should give their chief atten-
ton to it's culture in the early sum-
mer or in the autumn months. The
heat and aridity of moderately dry
summers too generally hurry its
growth into towering and the seed
form.
To secure the autumn crop, a
sowing should be made during the
second or third week in July,
choosing cloudy or rainy weather
if possible. For main crop the
seed is usually sown by market
gardeners in the open ground
about the middle of September,
and transplanted to cold frames as
soon as large enough TO hahdie,
being wintered over in the same
manner as early cabbage. Plants
have been known to come out in
the spring perfectly fresh, from
seed sown in the open ground IN
the middle of September. Lettuce
is a plant Of comparatively tender
growth, and unless care is taken
to promptly destroy all weeds, it
may be quickly choked up so as to
he worthless. The kinds best to
use are those known as Black Seed.

cociousness. She is registered as
Duchess Dorey 3l31S. She was
bred by John a. Frye, Marlboro,
Mass, dropped June 81, 1885. She
was purchased by me for Mr.. 7. T..
Howell at Kellogg's November com
bination sale Of Jersey cattle in
New York City. She has been on
the farm of Mr.. Howell since that
time, and not until about six weeks
ago was it discovered that she was
with calf, and to the surprise OF her
owner on June ID, the day she was
eleven months and eight days old
she dropped fine heifer calf. She
is doing well, and looks as mother
ly as possible under the circum-
stances. She is giving about one
gallon of very rich milk per day.
She will be tested for butter soon,
and we will match her against any

THE END.
A Momsntsus Question.

Recent events furnish grounds
for a new and very plausible theory
in regard to the burning of the
world, a theory that attributes the
conhagration TO well known natural
agencies-agencies which at pres
ent threaten to get beyond human
control, and by which the world,
and possibly the universe, may be
destroyed, not only in our time, but
IN the course of few years, or
ven months. 1t will be remember
"a that within the past year what
is known as "natural gas" has
CONS into very general use IN pairs
OF Pennsylvania. This gas is OBJ
taiied by boring through the sur.
face of the earth into cavities where
the gas has been stored by the
process of nature, and whence it
escapes into the upper air as soon
as an outlet is offered. Gas wells
have been discovered in Ohio, New
Mexico and California, and will, no
doubt, like oil wells, DO discovered
in many localities, perhaps in
Europe aud Asia as we'll as in this
country. When we have a circle of
gas wells extending from Pennsyl-
yania through the Ohio Valley to
the Missouri Valley, then to the
Pacific via Alaska and Behring
Straits to Siberia, and on through
Russia ia Europe to Germany, and
even England, who knows what
may happen Even with the few
wells now running, what would &C.
cur if the fire by some chance
should be conveyed to the bowels
of the earth : Might not the sea be
dried up aud the mountains hurled
from their foundation Indeed,
might not the earth be blown to

into decillions of incendIary rockets

FIas Herd.

In the interest of the improve
ment of the stock of Page county,
we are gratified to hear that a. X,
Grin, Esq, near Marksville' has
one of the finest herds of ShOrthorn
cattle in the Valley of Virginia. 1t
is composed of a fine Durham bull,
twelve COWS, and a number OF thor
Oughbred heifers. One of the old
est and most experienced stock men
IN the county told us the other day
that Mr.. G.'s herd compares very
favorably with the best he has ever
seen, and that his calves are fnlly
equal to, if not better, than such as
he and other Page county farmers
have been buying from dealers in
other counties az from S7j to 800
Ger head. We hope Mr.. G.'s ex-
ample in improving his grade OF
cattle may be generally followed
by our farmers. 1t costs less mon
ey and labor to raise high grade
steer than a scrub, aud no one
needs to be told that where raised
the farmer not only Gnds a more
ready market but commands a
price twice as great as the latter.
Now that wheat, hitherto our sta
pie money product, has ceased to
be a paying crop, our farmers will
be driven to paying more attention
to stock raising, and they had bet
ter learn in time that it does not
pay to handle low grade and scrub
cattle.-Pdge Courier.

Farm and Household.
THE BARNARD.

OF all the leaks on a farm, says
the Rural World, a leaky, slOping
barDyard is the worse. The time
hOnOred fashion of placing the barn
on a knoll or the highest spot of
land near the house is a most rep
rehensible one. More wealth
glides away from such sunny,
elevated barDyard than can be
computed. 1t must reach fan up
into the millions annually. The
number of barns that are so placed
that the water that falls from the
roof at each rain and rushes
through and washes out the val
liable soluble portions, can be
numbered by hundreds of thou
sands.
Every level.headed farmer, has
or should have, a level or slightly
concave barnyard, much IN the
form of an inverted watch crystal
If fiat, and the bottom is of clay,
the outer edge should be raised to
a height of at least one foot so
that no water would escape that
had fallen in the form of rain.
For the purpose of converting
the largest proportion of the wheat
straw into valuable manure, the
stack should be built in the centre
of such a yard, and sufficient straw
be scattered from time to time to
keep the yard in passable condition.
To make the manure heap OF the
greatest value, the manure OF the
various kinds of farm animals
should be daily or frequently scat
tered over the straw in the yards
80 that each, possessing a distinc'
tive value of its own, would be-
come thoroughly cOmmingled and
thus form manure in common
that is especially well adapted to
growing all kinds of crops. Such
daily or weekly deposits IN
the manure bank enable the
thrifty farmer to check out from
time to time reasonable amount
of valuable manure without dan
GER of overdrawlng his account
The farmer who has a good bank oil
well-decomposed manure made an
nualIy subject to his order, is and
can be, the only true independent
