Kindled well to a glow by living altar coal"

When you find pleasant word afoat on the

Bid it come to you at once, for kindest keep and
care,
Guard it cautiously and tenderly watch it.
Take that home to your wife.
Should you find bright idea wandering aim
lessly about,
And marvel how you best may obtain it.
Set prompt and careful watch, both within
and without,
And when once you have made out to gain it,
Take that home to your wife.
Should there sleep within your soul littlespa
With tendency each day to growing brighter
Let the local from off the altar" but touch it
from above,
And, with your own heart happier andlighter
Take that home to your wife,
Should Gts you spy little sin in the pathway OF
No matter how, or where, or whenever,
Toss it back upon the winds-a germ of worldly
strife
Resolving, what may come. that you'll never
Take that home TO your wife.
Take only to your wife all the good that you
know
Take your heart in your hand when your home

And you'll have at last life worth the living
To take home with your wife.

The Wood Rat.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

FROM the San Francisco Chronicle.]
The wood rat lays up enormous
stores of acorns during or prior to the
wet season. But it is q useless pro-
| vision, as the nuts can be found at any
time. A nest recently opened was ar
ranged seemingly in regular manner,
as regards apartments; the general
shape was dome-like, being formed of
sticks and other refuse piled upon each
other, SO that it was torn apart with
great difficulty. Three openings were
apparent, leading in from below and
entering the nest proper, which con-
stituted the first story. This was
provided with g. soft moss material of
various kinds, showing that the wood
rat has an eye for comfort. Imme-
diately above this was an apartment,
if it can be so called, filled with acorns,
several quarts as near as | can Judge,
and above this rose the dome-like top,
forming a perfect water shed, fact
proved by the dry nest, that did not
show the slightest sign of moisture.
The position of the nest varies. In the
one mentioned it was on the ground,
built up around tree. Others are
constructed in the open crossword,
and still another in Miller's canon, is
built on tree six or eight feet from
the ground. In some nests the materi-
al is undoubtedly the accumulation of
years, and might well weigh a ton, and
would form two good loads for cart.
Whether the wood rat hibernates I
have been unable to determine, but am
inclined to think not, the supply of
acorns pointing to an active appetite,
and [ have seen them out within a
month. Almost every branch of ami
mails has it's representatives among the
winter or summer sleepers, and DR..
Abbott, the eminent arch@ologist, is
under the impression that he has OBJ
served swallows in a chimney in a state
of Information. AS the snakes in
Southern California hibernate in win
ter, 80 do the large reptiles in Florida,
as the alligators, though this is only
in the portions where cold strikes
them, as on the ST. Mary's River and
about Fernandina.

That is the average life Of g. building
nowadays. There are very few houses
in this city that were standing seventy
five years ago. The old houses on
North Capital Street, built by Gen.
Washington, are older than that, and
there are older buildings in the city.
The capitol is an old building, but am
speaking of private houses. The
buildings erected by the government,
under careful supervision and at great
expense, of course, are more durable
structures than those erected for pri-
vate residences.

rowing will still further favor this, and
is labor well spent. The atmosphere
will get little or nothing of the strength
OF the manure now and the first rain
will wash the soluble parts into the
soil, saturating perfectly the surface
land with it. Applied upon grass,
there will be O. uniform growth at
once and no vacant or thin places.
Ii there is lodging the whole will lodge
or none. II sufficient manure has been
applied the crop will be as heavy as
can be crowded on the entire surface
of the land; and little manure need be
lost either by washing out of the land
or carrying into the air.-Practica7

At this moment the door leading to
the second floor opened, and MarS,a.
who had gone upstairs to attend 10
the chamber work, entered the store
again. In her hand she held that
missing letter.
Will gave one joyous bound toward
her and grasped at it as one drowning
might grasp at a life saving oar.
"Father in heaven I thank Thee"
he cried, fervently, and -''Hattiel
Hattie! The letter is found the let

Hattie came flying in, gave one an
swering glance and burst out CRYING:
ooh, Will! And father suspected
you"
Mr.. Alcot clutched at his beard
again, took the letter and asked in q
voice hoarse with emotion:
"Where did you find it, Martha?"
GIN your bed, twixt the case and
pillow you slept on"
Goodness sakes Have I taken to
walking IN my sleep again as I did
when | was a youngster?"
This was doubtless the case. The
last thing before retiring he had gone
to see whether that money letter was
all right, and in his sleep it haunted
him, with the result that caused it's
removal to safer quarters near his
person. The other two were cast aside
as unimportant.
"Bill-I'm hasty old fool" began
the postmaster in awkward, self-re-
proachful tones.
"Mr. Alcot, don't say word. Who
would not suspect, under like circum-
stances. To think that I should
chance to fall asleep and absent N.Y.
untably-naturally led on
to doubts. Beside, / deserve some
punishment for returning to rob you
of something more precious than
money"
''It was not the money, boy, alto.
gether. 1t was betrayed confidence
that panied and enraged me. Things
did look kinder black, now, didn't
they?"
Indeed, father, your suspicious hit

rats"
"Shut up, you saucy baggage. You
sly one, you'll saw you hugging Will
awhile ago!"
Will caught her as she was retreat
ing, and holding her hand, spoke up
like q man.
eff I dared to hope for your APPROX
al, Mr.. Alcot, to make her my wife!
My patent is not of great scientific
value, but l have secured rights as an
inventor, and am already negotiating
for profitable privileges from q large
bottling establishment for its use;
hence | can make an independent be-
ginning and offer your daughter
home"
Mr.. Alcot embraced his child with
pathetic emotion, saying, 81 Supposed
must submit. The young will mate,
as the parents did before them, but
Bill-my son"-he clasped the young
mans hand. "You must share nv

"You see, children, need some one

humor, looking into Willis eyes, there
seeking and receiving pardon for the
unjust suspicious in connection with
that registered letter.

Saving and Applying Manure.

incorporating manure with the soil
is the necessity of growth. To do this
unevenly is to that extent to fail of
the benefit. This is readily seen where
manure heaps are carelessly spread,
giving the land in some places too
much and in others none at all. It is
sure to make an uneven grow tn, lodg-
ing generally where the manure has
been thickest and especially where the
heaps had lain and had received the
washing Of the rains to considerable
extent. This manner OF treating
manure, is therefore, a loss, and yet
it is practiced to large extent. 1t
should be spread as applied, and pains
taken to do it evenly, so that not
only the entire surface of the ground
is covered but of uniform thick
ness where the land is uniform
in it's demand for it. But
it is difficult to get it spread thus even
ly. The use of the brush, drag or
smoothing harrow will go far to remedy
this, and, what is of more Importance,
it will pulverize and partially mix it
with the soil. A second Or cross har-

The oOdd" Years.

John J. Thomas, the veteran pomol-
ogist, recommends changing the bear
ing year of apple trees to "odd" years,
SO as to have g. crop of fruit each
year. His plan is to thin the blossoms
from young trees one or two seasons
in succession when they first come into
bearing, and thus the change is made.
An experiment was tried on trees
fifteen years old and completely
changed the bearing year. But trees
of that age require too much time
three or four hours to each treo-to
go over them. One should begin when
the trees are young, and just beginning
to bear, and then the work is quickly
done and proves just as effectual.

Transpl9ntiDR.

There is popular notion that cab.
bage, caulifower, celery and tomatoes
must betransplanted. Joseph Harris
says he grows many cabbage plants,
sowing them in rows twenty-on
inches apart SO they can be cultivated
with g. harrow. Last summer he
pulled the plants from every other
row clean, leaving the rows three and
half feet apart, from which rows he
thinned out the plants as they were
needed. Finally he pulled out or hoed
out the plants until they stood about
two feet apart in the rows. AS re-
suit the cabbage left in the rows head
ed just as we'll as those which had been
transplanted.

An Original Madonna.
[From the Boston Record.1

A lady who lives in an elegant house
on the Back bay has singular pict-
ure, which many of her visitors have
looked at inquiringly, without under
standing it at all. It represents a
woman i'll modern costume, but with
q sanity medieval look that makes
one wonder whether to be touched
with reverence or with q sense of the
absurd incongruity of her face and
clothes. She has two little children
standing at her knee. The owner has
explained the mystery of her picture
as follows:
"1 just made up my mind to have a
Madonna different from any I had ev-
er seen, and when was over in Paris
got q clever young American, who
was studying in the Beaux Arts, to
paint me one. | gave him carte
blanche, and told him to paint me a
Madonna that would be original, and
I fatter myself I've got it,"

Feed for Young Calves.

While butter and cheese are as cheap
as they have been for the past year,
whole new milk of blood warmth is
about as cheap as anything that can
be given the first week, even for calves
that are not to be fattened. This is
especially true in cold weather, when q
change of food will cause scours, some
times with fatal results. But after the
first week skinned milk will make
nearly as much growth without fat
tening.

How TO Keep Suuashes.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says: "Ihave always heard
that squashes must be kept warm as
freezing spoils them. The cellar al
most always rots them, and so as we
had some splendid specimens that we
wanted to keep as long as possible,
we stored them in thegranary, intend
ing to bring them into the house be-
fore it was too cold. But the frost
came before we expected, and the
whole lot were frozen. We knew they
would be good for nothing if put in a
warm place; SO we left them, until one
day, by way of experiment, we i'm
mersed one in cold water. The FROST
came out and covered the outside
with coat of ice; when that melted,
we cooked it, and it was as good as
ever. So we covered them tightly, so
that they would not thaw, and we
have squash whenever we please.
Neighbors who had theirs in warm
places, or the cellar, are minus"

Care OF Woodwork.

Wagon makers Or repairers, says
the Wheelwright, can save the stock
from worms by oiling with linseed oil.
Single-trees, double-trees, neck-yokes,
spokes and crossbars that are of white
hickory, and are kept in stock for a
year or more, Will be eaten by worms
if not kept in g. dark place or other
wise protected. Coal and kerosene oil
are good also, and the expense of ap-
plying is but little. Linseed oil is pref
cradle, as it acts to some extent as q
wood filler, filling the pores and thus
aiding the painting which follows in
it's proper place. A boy can take rag
dipped in the oil and 60 over g. large
number of pieces in a days time, or a
vat can be used long enough to admit
of several dozen at time being put in
and picked out at one at a time, and
put where they can drip for one or
two minutes. The expense of this is
much less than those who have not
had the experience might imagine, and
far less than the loss of stock by
worms. Some manufacturers oil all
their white hickory wood stock before
shipping.
