PRESERVING TIMBER.

Artificial Processes Considered by
Civil Engineers.
A committee of the American Society
Of Civil Engineers has, after prOtracted
Investigation, made an elaborate report
upon the artificial preservation Of timber.
They specify eight different processes
which have been tried in Europe and in
this country, only three of which they
consider as important or practicable for
the purposes Of the civil engineer. These
are. frst-lnjecting IN closed cylinders

mersiOn. and, third--the BOucherie pro-
cess, consisting OF hydraulic pressure ap-
piled TO the log. or these three they re-
commend the first as on all accounts the

Divine Origin of Agriculture.

In a recent address on "Agricul- ture as a Source of Prosperity Col. J. R. Maynard, of 1ndianapo- lis, used the following beautiful language: I've read that God him self planted the first garden. He fixed it's foundations. Each fruit bearing tree, each .fowering shrub, took it's place in the garden, East ward in Eden,' by the direction of Jehovah, as certainly as the stars with which decked the skies. We think of God as the builder of the universe, of suns and planets, and of systems of worlds, but it should be remembered that he came down to earth, not on Sinai amidst thun- der and lightning, but in Eden, where he planted a garden and placed Adam in it to tendit. Here then, l say it reyerently, we have the Creator and Adam, proprietor and tenent, engaged in the first agricultural enterprise of which history supplies an account. Hence claim for agriculture a heaven or dianed rank, a primal eXhaltation, such as belongs to no other occu- patton known to the human family And l anticipate period, not re- mote, when young men will esteem it an honor to be known as agricul- turistS, scientific tillers of the soil and when agriculturists. by their learning, hy their ability and th air influence, will compel the acknoWl- ment that agriculture, by the vast ness of its investments and untold contributions of the wealth of the country, is entitled to distinguished recognition in the affairs of govern. ment."-Selected.

AGRICULTURAL.
Care of Young Fruit Trees.

1.-the autumn or Sumcr lS very dry. it may be necessary to water the trees, but this is very rarely necessary when the soil has been properly prepared and thorough cultivation is c;Fan afterward. This stirring must be over the en- tire surface of the orchard, not around the trees for few feet on ly. The ground of a peach or chard should always be cultivated until the trees have at tained considerable age.
 It may also be necessary to mulch. Mulching should always be done before watering; It IS much better, Watering is the last resort. No mater what the season mulch cherry trees. If watering must be done, remove the surface earth and afterwards replace 1t. Then the water will reach the roots and no crust will form. Trees are injured by watering, ten times as often as by neglect to water. Like ly it is better to apply the water to the branches than to the roots, un. less the soil is dry. If the trees are shriveied, or the buds fail to start, wet the top each evening, being careful not to use too much water. Often when the roots are quite dead, a tree may be coaXed to grow by thus watering the trunk and branches. By mulching is gen. erally understood the application of litter or other material to the surface of the soil, to prevent both the evaporation of moisture and hardening of the surface. A layer of very fine earth on the surface produces the good effects of mulch ing with litter, etc, and the re- suit of thoroughly cultivating the orchard is not merely to keep down the weeds, but it secures a layer of fine, dry earth, which acts as mulch upon the soil below American Agriculturists for Octo' Der.

Late Sowing of Wheat,

Late sowing is to be commended where there is a probably of at ttcks from the Hessian Fly. ior other insect enemies. If sowing is delayed until October list, the flies will have deposited their eggs be- tore the wheat plants become large enough to receive them, and there will be no larvH to suck the life out of the ground is so dry in ear. ly September that if the seed ger. miDates the plant will not thrive and may wither beyond recovery. II sowing is delayed until the fall aims have moistcued the ground. the plants will be as far along until winter stops their growth, and there will be more of them. 1t is now possible and certainly proiita- ble, SG to prepare the Seed-bed and apply fertilizers that inc plants, though started quite late, will reach sufficient size and have a root-growth strong enough to with. stand the winter. 1t is not neceS- sary to SOW so early as halt cen- tury ago. Better implements for preparing the ground and sowing the seed, and better methods tor fertilizing, with understanding. have so changed conditions that the rules relating 10 wheat and other crops found good for the conditions of 1886, must now be varied somewhat.-American Az. riculturists of October.

The Code of Health,

The laws which relate to lndl. vldual health may be concisely summed up as follows:
 |. Breathe only pure air.
 ? Drink only pure water.
 3. Eat only pure food.
 i. Take sufficient muscular eXer- else.
 !. Preserve proper attitudes.
 6. Discipline the mind by prop ermeutal exercise.
 :. Take proper rest and recrea' ton; and sufficient sleep.
 s. Restrain the passions and govern the emotions,
 9 Give attention to personal cleanliness.
 10. Be temperate in all things.
 To the man who will carefully and conscicntlouSly observe all oi those laws which relate to hlS physical health, nature vouchsates, barring accidents, a long, comfort able life, free from d great share of the ills which come upon q large portion of mankind. A great share of the sickness, and even a large proportion of deaths are unQuestionably due to the viola ton of some of the plainest princi. pleS of health morality, and are wholly preventable.
 An eminent English sanitarian once remarked, "When man dies of typhoid fever, somebody ought to be hanged.' Somebody is clear ly responsible for the annual slaughter, for not less than one third of all the sickness. and pret- ty nearly as large proportion of deaths. Let us each, with sober ness and consideration, ask tho searching question, "lS it l?"

Fame and Infamy.

Infamy is the sum of all bad acts of all time,
 Fame confers the highest honor. lnfnmity the deepest disgrace. Fame is the reward of selfish life.
 It is q bad error to mistake inta- my for fame
 Infamy shows well for time to the uninitiated, surpassing even fame.
 Every right work is fameward. Every wrong act is in the line Of ir fanny. Fame is the sum of all the good acts of all time.
 Infamy insures a harder life than fame. Fame comes by benefting our fellows. lnfamy injuries them.
 Fame's hon0rs are pleasant.
 Infamy brings 1ishonor and dis. grace.
 Fame plants gardens. Fame eyCels in ali labor. Fame wins in al chitecture. Fame is democratic.
 Fame succeeds in commerce, eX- cites to labor in school, constructs great works, benefit the state and the people, promotes Christian civilization. Fame is the sum of the ocean of of mans best acts. Every right act of the scholar the statesman, the artisan, the en- gineer, the laborer, is drop Tn the sea of fame.
 Every act of our lives adds to the sea of fame or of infamy.
 Infamy is fame's enemy.
 Infamy is the ally of sloth, ease lndolence, ignorance.
 Infalny chooses the down'hlll path.
 Infamy's great works are wrecks.
 Infamy islanders.
 lnfamy is suspicious.
 Infamy seduces.
 Infamy is jealous.
 Infamy traduces faith.
 Infamy deties law.
 lpfamy promotes disorder and disobedience.
 Infamy is the enemy of discipline.
 Fame begins in the school to la Dor upward.
 Infamy floats ever downward.
 Fame's labor is rewarding and satisfactory,
 Infamy's work disorganizing and bitter
 Improved roses, luscious fruits, finest works of art, and nnselhsh Christian lives are the product ot fame.
 Ruins, stolen fruits, lusts, intem- perate and untimcly pleasures are the work of infamy.
 We choose for which we shall strive, the honors of fame or the indolent, posons, bitter fruits ot infamy.-Chicago Ledger.

A Dead Hope.

The telegram read: "Come quickly. baby is dying" and the night express is bearing the father 10 his only child. A cold hand seems clutching at his heart, the heavy throbS of which are almost stiling.
 He remembers, now, the time he had tried to comfort the dear friend who had felt the loss of q little one-how he had wondered that he should grieye at the call ot linn who said "Suffer little child ren.'
 Yes, these little lights had before wavered, fickered and went out Tn darkness, but now his own house is to be left in shadow! No little hands to scatter playthings; no lit tie feet to batter in echoln deso- late rooms. Gazing out into the night he catches a gleam of light from a farm house, and he wonders, vag- uely, if there too, a baby IS dying. A mother sits opposite, and her sleeping babe has strange fasclna- ton for him. There is something almost pathetic in her attitude, as attidude, as bending over it like a guardian angel she passes her hand lovingly over the smoothe brow. They are going home. he thinks, somewhere husband and father IS awaiting them.
 He, too, is going home-home where wife sits pale with watch me. and a babe lies dying! The little one that had clung to his name in childish prattle, and bound herself to his very heart-strings. He had thought so much of the time when she Slould be compan' ion to him, and he should guide her along the way which leads up ward to glorious womanhood, but now his hopes, his tears, are to end at baby's grave.
 He scarcely needs the time The shriek of the engine in the black night, the hoarse cry ot the brakeman, the hustle and lights 0l stations, are meaningless to hlni He is going home, and-baby IS dying!
 The train stops at last. Hal dazed he leaves it, and gropes hls way along the dark streets. The sound of his footsteps is echoed mockingly, and he finds himself l listening, half frightened, at Its ghostliness.
 A light burns at his window, ant as he pauses at the gate a dool softly opens. His wife meets him with a long drawn, fearless sob and he knows all.
 She leads him into dim room where, on a white couch, lie the ashes of dead hope,
 An, baby--why couldn't yot wait,
 Very gently she strokes th' bowed head, and very softly sh' whispers:
 ''lt is best"
 And here over the dead form the eyes, blue as the wild violet curtained forever, the baby hands folded, the wee, tired feet resting they stand reconciled while owe all, like incense, float the odors O heliotropes and white roses.
