A Good Mans Tenderness.

Boys are sometimes tempted to think
that TO be tcnder-hearted is TO be weak
and unmanlv. Yet the tendermost
heart may be associated with the strong
est and most forcible mind and will.
Take. for example, the story told of
him to whom we owe our wonderful
railway system. George Stephenson
went one day into an upper room of
his house and closed the window. 1t
had been left open a long time because
Of the great heat. but now the weather
was becoming cooler and so Mr. Ste
phenson thought it would be well to
shut il. He little knew at the time
what he was doing Two or three days
afterward, however he Glanced TO OBJ
serve q bird flying against the same
window and beating against it with all
its might, again and again, rs if trying
to break it. His sympathy and curiosity
were aroused. What could the little
thing want2 He at once went to the
room and opened the window to see
The window opened, the bird flew
straight TO one particular spot in the
room, where Stephenson saw a nest

looked at il, took the sad story in at q
glance, and iluttcred down to the floor.

Stephenson. drawing near to look,

There sat the mother bird, and under it
four tiny little young ones mother and
young all apparently dead. Stephen
son cried aloud H. tendcrly lifted the
exhausted bird from the floo , the worm
it had so long and bravcly struggled to
bring to It's home and young still in its
beak, and carefully tried to revive It,;
but all his efforts proved in vain. 1t
speedily died. and the great man
mourned for many n day. At that
time the force of George Stephenson :
mind was changing the face of the
earth, yet he wept nj the sight of this
dead family, and was deeply grieved be-
cause he himself had unconsciously
been the cause of death. - Manchester

An Intelligent Juror.

There Is Al American story of a
Juror in trial for murder in one of the
backwoods settlements of the far west.
Great difficulty had been experienced
in getting a jury eleven jurors had at
last been sworn in, and there only re-
manned one man of the panel. He was
a small, lean. lank fellow. with n
shrewd face and uncouth dcmcanor.
and his apparel seemed to show that
never before had he been within sight
or sound Of cvilizat on. He was asked
the usual questions rs TO whether he
had formed any opinions about the
case. whether he had any prejudice
against the prisoner. or whether he was
consc.entiously opposed to capital pun
ishmcat. To all these questions lac re-
turned a decided negative. The judge
and the council for the prosecution and
for the defense did not any of them
specially like the mans manner but
il was late and Jurors were scarce, and
so he was accepted. In accordance
with an old form surviving strangely in
out-of-the-way places, he was set be-
fore the alleged murderer and the Judge
said Juror, look upon the prisoner
prisoner. look upon the Juror When
this command was given. the little man
leaned forward and scanned tho culprit
carefully from head to foot for some
moments then he raised his head and
turned to the Judge and said in a firm
and solemn voice : Yes, judge, think
he is guilty - Sdturday Rcricw.

Remedies for the Apple Worm.

As large share of the fruit. with
the worm still within il, falls TO the
ground, the picking up of these wind
falls and feeding, or otherwise destroy
ing them, or allowing them TO nc gath
cred by swine. viii naturally suggest
itself as an efficient method. Manu-.
facturers of vinegar find il profitable to
pick up and press all windfalls; they
yield juice which will make vinegar.
The fact that mature worms search for
crevices in the bark of the trunk. in
which to spin and undergo their trans
formations, has suggested providing
them with artificial shelters for this
purpose. Pieces of old carpet, or other
wooden fabric, about five inches wide,
and long enough 10 go around the

the last week in June and examined the
first week in July. and every ten days
thereafter. ANY worms or cocoons
that may be found under them can be
killed by running the bands through a
clothes wringer, or by crushing them
otherwise.
Within few years, the Western
orchardists have treated the appleworm
upon the principle OF ''nipping in the
bud" As soon as the young fruit is
set. the tree is sprayed with a mixture
of Paris green and water-one pound
of the poison TO fifty gallons of water.
This is thrown into the tree by means
of spraying or sprnkling engine, in
the hope that drop of the poisoned
water will lodge in the eyes of the
young apples The newly Matched APP
pleworm. in eating It's way into the in
terror of the young apple, will be SO
effectively poisoned, that it must give
up its task. Should the small amount
of Paris green remain upon the fruit,
it would be too harmful. but the subsc-
quent rains thoroughly wash it away.
so that there can b. not the least dan
ger in using the poison in this manner.
The chief remedies used in England
are barriers. 10 prevent the worms
from ascending the trees to spin.
Heavy paper is fastened around the
trunks and smeared with tar; this and
other means are employed as preventa-

How TO Tell When a Person is
Dead

While we are decidedly in favor of

fear of being buried alive should be n

to adopt cremation. There are two
simple tests by which we can always
convince ourselves whether person is
really dead or not. One test is the
same that has been crowned with a
prize from the French government.

ward for the discovery of any method.

one that may be practiced by the most
ignorant. The method of determining
actual death which was considered by
the French government rs being worthy
Of the reward is the following:

where the fingers touch each other, if
there is any life left.
The other is based upon tho well

man being will never respond for u
longer time TO the strongest-clectrica

after death; while as long as life lasts,

Theories Of Marriag e.

a new theory in the suitability in
marriage Is offered by Mr.. Howells'
"Rev. David Sewell' in the current
chapters of "A Minister'S Charge"
Or, if not n new theory. it is at least
an expression of an unformulated idea
growing in popular feeling of late
years. This is. that it is much better
for woman 10 marry n man who is
not quite up to her in intellectual de-
velopment than for man to marry a
woman of much less mental stature.
A man has more chance to grow ment-
ally after marriage than a woman. ac-
cording to the Howard-Sewell philoso-
ply, and. If his wife is noticeably infcri-
or to begin with he is very likely to grow
quite away from her, and thus lose any
possibility of intellectual companion
ship with her. II. on the other hand.
she is his superior at the start. she is
likely to lead him upward towards a
more real companionship. The Rev.
Mr.. Sewell grows very earnest in this
number, too, about the pernlcious idea
that n man ought to 60 on with pro-
posed marriage from false idea Of
honor after either one of them has dis
covered that the best possibilities for
either are not to be realized in such q

Fowl Facts in an Egg Shell.

The breeds of fowls hav ne the quail
ity of laying and not sitting, may be
classcd in four groups-all layers of
white eggs First. -Single-combed
fowls. including the BackSpanish.
Minorcas. Andalusians and Leghorns
in variety. These all are distinguished
by large, erect, single combs in the
cocks, and dropping combs in the hens.
Second. The rose combcd fowls of the
Hamburg group. 7hird.-The true
top-knots" White Crested Black Polish.
Golden Spangled Polish. Slver-Span-
gled Polish, White Polish, all of which
have split or double combs. or the rudi-
ments of such combs. Fourth. The
Gallo group of fowls, some of which.
like the Crevecnurs and the Houdans.
have crestS like the Polish; others, like
the Gelderland fowls of Holland. La
Fleche and La Bresse of France, show
the split or bifurcated comb or the rudi-
ments of it. Among all these the most
useful, simply as egg-producers. are to
be found in the single-combed group.
The cock of the White-Faced Black
Spanish breed is characterized by lus-
trous black plumage, gay with rainbow
tints. and only a little less glossy in the
hens-red combs or wattles and white
faces. They lay eggs of the largest
size and pure white, Of course. The
Mnorcas are like them but with red
faces, and the Andalusians are blue.
Leghorns. White and Brown, are desr-
able, hardy, prolific. and breed gener-
ally true to feathers and style. The
Leghorns there are several other
breeds-are by no means so high-brcd
rs the Spanish, yet they are harder
and the eggs though smaller. are more
abundant, so that so long As eggs sell
by the dozen. rather than by the pound.
they are very profitable fowls to keep.
Houdans are favorite French fowls. and
combine egg laying and flesh proluc-
ton in high degree; they are, besides,
hardy, prolific, and. like all the other
Gallo fowls. excellent eating, which can
hardly be said with truth of the fowls
of any other of the groups of non-sit-

Origin OF Slanting Roofs.

To find the source from which Euro
pean nations have derived the art Of
building in stone, we must look to the
land of the Pharaohs. From Egypt the
craft passed to Greece, and from the
Greeks ii was taken up by the Romans.
to bc bv them disScm mated through the
north and west of Europe in the pro-
cess of colonization. The sim larity in
regard to the constructive parts of the
ancient Greek building, to some OF
those found in Egypt Of older date. af-
fords strong confirmation OF the tradi-
ton that the Greeks borrowed the art
from the EgyIt ans. The Greeks, how
ever, in adopting it added new fea-
ture. the piedmont. and the reason for
this addition is easy to find. Egypt is
pract ically rainlcsS. All the protection
from the climate required in a palace
or temple in such country is shelter

in all European countries, rain has to
be taken into account, a slanting roof
becomes necessary. The Greeks with
their eyes for symmetry, provided for
this by forming the roof with ccntrrl
ridge. at an obtu,e angle, from which
it sloped down equally on either side.
The triangular space thus formed at
the end of the building above the ar
chirlve was occupied by the pedment
and this part of the facade, which owed
it, birth to tn exgcncics of climate.

An Idyl Of the Surf
4 maiden OF Boston

4 maiden OF Boston,
One morning while tossed on
The waves Of the surf al Long Branch,
Set up wild squealiug,

While her face wore expression Of woe.

That lobster shook hands with her toe
