How to Destroy Worms.

1 have been raising currants now
most of the time for more than twenty
five years, and in all that time have
never once been seriously troubled by
the currant worm, while my neighbors
on all sides of me have had their bushes
entirely stripped year after year. l
know of no reason for my long exemp-
ton from this pest except my habit of
applying considerable quantity of
wood-ashes to each bush, from half a
peck to peck, every spring. l hoe
away the earth, put the ashes evenly
around the bush, and then hoe the
earth back to cover them. 1t would
seem that the worms can not get along
with so much potash.-Cor. Conqregd-
tionalist.

General M. Reads Discovery.
Detroit Free Press


 General Msredita Read. in his speech at the banquet given in Philadelphia by the Pennsyl ylvania Historlcal society on the 7oo h anniversary of the introduction of prinung into the middle colonies, an- nounced an interesting discovery which he made when United States minister to Greece. Ia speaking of Franklin he said !: '' Wherever types are set, or the electric spark may wander and work, Franklin s name is commemorated. The most re- markable result of Franklin's discoveries, the electric tele graph, owes its name to that mother of civiliz ation, the Creek language, and it is remarkable tact th at the venerable rocks which watch over the viole,-crowned ely of A,heas have as sumed the philosophers features. For l discovered many years ago, while daily scanning the outlines of the apc,ent Acropohs. that the northwestern profile looking to~ards Mars Hill and the sea ,s as perfect a likeness of Franklin as the southeastern is of Washington. It is a happy and striking coincidence that the father of our country and the man whose key unlocked the mysteries of the uni- verse look down from that classic hull from whence flows the influences which gave to mankind the sciences and the art of not governing too much"

 Len made another f1rt and was sue csssful. "Now, men," shouted Braley, "yer'd better rest, while go over wander an skirmish round little" The suggestion met with silent appro- bation. Endurance with the log rollers was a matter of pride.
 "Who's that a comin'?' some one asked, as horseman came within sight. "Dinged if it ain't Parson Murray, the circuit rider. Reckon he must've smelt the pot bilin'."
 Mr Murray may not have "smelt the pot bilin'," but the chances are that he had. He rode up to the fence, stopped, spoke to the men and leisurely threw one leg over the horn of his saddle.
 "Wont you light, Brother Murray9" old Bob Gansett asked.
 "No, believe not"
 "Better git down an' look at yo' sad de-" said Mort Haney. "We're goin' ter open kag uv nails am wring dish- rag alter awhile"
 The preacher, smiling blandly, said that he would greatly enjoy such an occasion. Just then the welcome sosnd of the dinner horn was heard. Braley, who had returned from his skirmish said :
 "Parson, we'd like fur yer to ax a blessin' fur us at thcr dinner table. Uv co'se yer nee'n'ter eat nothin'."
