Where Heaven Is.

Mr.. Msckay, the poet, tells US in two lines
where heaven is 1t is no place in particular,
but just in the heart that knows how to make
it. The boy or girl who never fretS; who
keeps q sunny, merry temper, and who tries
to make other people happy all day long will
make something very much like heaven
wherever he or she may be. Mr.. Mackay
says:
The world is full Of beauty, as other worlds
above;
And if We did our duty, it might be full Of
love.

HOW A BIRD BUILT ITS NEST
UPON AN ALLlGAToRs BACK.

The Boys Woke the Creature UP-Al.
ways Room at h Top, Boys-Rtd-
die and P~uzzles-The Night Hawk Is
Not = Hawk at all.
One naturally has an impression that all
birds of the name of hawk are enemies TO the
poultry ward, and ought to be killed. This Is
a serious mistake in ut least ono instance.
The exception is the pretty bird called the
n~ighthawk. In truth, be is not q hawk at
ali. and no kin to that fierce family. be Is
wholly an inSectiyOrous bird. II you look
abroad in the evening just before sunset, ORR
you are up in the morning G~daybreak, you
can catch gimpSes Of him flying rapidly
through the air to catch beetles and moths
and other inSectsO on the wing.
So far from being the enemy Of man this
bird is u great friend to him. One night
hawk in the course Of n season viii kill many
thousands Of insects that arc q great hurt 70
the farmer. They sting the plums, eat the
corn and potatoes, mako worms in the wheat
grains and eat the very leaves or the forest
trees. They invade the garden and ruin your
mothers roses and your fathers cabbages.
When, therefore. you find a bird that gets ITS
living by eating all these nasty insects ami
worms protect it Us you would a faithful!
friend.
Never kill any birds but owls, English
sparrOws and real hawks.
When the night hawk flies in pursuit OF us
game il makes u curious sort OF hollow sound,
"like blowing into the bunghole Of a barrel"
If the insects and worms which the birds de-
YOUR were allowed to g ON and increase with
out anything to kill them, they would cot
every green thing off the face OF the earth IN
a year or two. Then men and animals would
very shortly all die. Never let a bird he
killed, therefore.
You will know the night hawk from its be-
ing notified brown, with a white mark, III
the shape of a V, upon its throat. As It files
after its prey it utters constantly q sharp
cry, which sounds like " piramidig." IL Is
sometimes called that. The tail is slightly
foreed. The scientific name Of the night
hawk IS chordeiles N~irginianuS.

A Floating Fernery.

A strange picture is found in Tho st.
Nicholas magazine for this month. 1t repre-
sents all alligator with Il beautiful fern bed
growing full and lively upon its back. Mr..
John Coryell tells us this odd sight was seen
ia Florida. In cold weather the alligator
burieS his body in the mud, nose first, and goes
to sleep. The mud sticks fast to his back
sometimes, and plants sprout and grow upon
it, and the great stupid creature never knows.
From place to place it Swims with tho flower
bed upon its back. Ii then looks like u STal
island, and even u boy would not know the
difference unless he looked close.

Absorbents in Stables.

In hot weather the ~droppinGs of animals
confined in stables ferment very quickly, and
therefore abSorhcntS are necessary, not only
to save waste of fertilizers, but for the OF
fort and health OF animals. Something is
wanted, not merely to hold liquid excrement
from waste, but to absorb its odorS. Straw
makes good bedding, but it is next to worth,
less for this purpose. Dry earth is the best
absorbent, and it may be got anywhere ON
much Travelled roads, and in the country
from fields. When returned to the field, as it
should be, the dry earth will lie found an x
cellent fertilizer. A very thin covering of
earth is enough, and the manure may be
scraped in heaps so as to leave u smaller sur,
face to cover. Coal ashes will answer the
same purpose, but are not 50 good US dry

Orchards that are in grass continually
are sometimes injured. The best method
is to plough under the grass, lime the land,
give an application Of well rotted manure,
and reseed. Some orchards do best when
in grass, if the soil is rich, hut the peach
and plum are exceptions. The grass
should, however, be ploughed under oc-
casionally.

Mr.. Wiman that his own club, the Metro

to abandon that hope. Nevertheless, he fully

New York is the greatest baseball city in the
world. There are more people of leisure in
that city than in any other on the continent,
and the growing interest in baseball con-
stantly enlarges the area from which aCIi-
ences at good matches can be drawn from.
For this season Mr.. Wiman has provided a
baseball ground on Staten Island that is
equal to anything Of the kind anywhere. 1t
is only a half hours sail from New York city,
and the multitudes that have visited it this
season attest the far-sightedneSs of Mr..
Wiman in preparing for them. Mr.. Wiman
is an enthusiastic lover Of out door sports.
This trophy which h represents is worth 81 900.

Death of Cornelius Arnett.

Death of Cornelius Arnett.
Mr.. Cornelius Arnett, of this city, died
On Monday afternoon at about o'clock
after an illness of over two weeks. Mr.
Arnett was one of the most prominent
business men of this town, and for years
had been extensively engaged in various
businesses, employing large number of
hands. He conducted steam saw mill,
lumber yard, sash and blind factory, turn
ing mill, brick kilns, furniture store and
coal yard, and took contracts for erecting
dwellings and doing other contract work.
He was one of the very few men who APP
peared to be able to have a great many
irons in the fire without getting them
burned. For years he has by his enter
prise and energy give work to many me-
chanics and others who might otherwise
have been compelled to seek employment
elsewhere. He probably has built more
houses in this town than any score of
other men. His loss to the community
is serious one.
Not only as business man was Mr..
Arnett known. He was very active in
every good work, and took prominent
part during the late war in all patriotic
efforts to uphold the Union and to care
for the sick and wounded soldiers. In
the temperance work he was also leader,
and was always ready TO work to advance
the cause. He was man of more than
ordinary natural ability, and notwith-
standing the disadvantages under which
he labored for want of scholastic training,
he impressed every one with his mental
strength. sound sense and natural wit.
His funeral will take place on Friday
morning, at 1890 o'clock, from the NJ. E.
Church in this city.
