The Country Gentlemen, published

The Country Gentlemen, published
at Albany, N. Y, says:
A correspondent asks for informa-
ton as to the character of this new
fruit, which has been noticed in some
of the horticultural journals. In an
swer we can state that all our person
al knowledge of it is derived from a
single specimen, sent us from Idaho
by j. III. Evans, of the Idaho Pear Co.
1t was received in good condition
about the LIST of October. Mr.. Evans
informs us that it originated in that
section about twenty years ago. The
specimen sent weighed little less
than pound, but he informs us that
some have weighed from nineteen to
twentythree ounces. Externally, it
has at first glance little of the com
mon appearance of pear, but more
closely resembles externally large
and handsome apple, the stalks being
deeply set on full, rounded base,
and with none of the neck of pear.
Its flavor, however, is that of an ex-
cellent pear, with fine grained, but
terry and melting flesh.
The description made by us at the
time from this specimen we give in
full as follows: Large, nearly globu-
lar, obtusely ribbed, light rich yellow,
the surface with numerous small dots;
cavity very deep and narrow and
strongly furrowed, stem small for so
large pear, basin very deep and fur
rowed, calyx closed; flesh fine grained,
buttery and with ''very good flavor.
1t will be observed that the specimen
has travelled in the mail about 1000
miles, part of the way by stage
over a rough road. Mr.. Evans writes
us under date of Oct. "a, that speci-
mems gathered at the same time as
the one sent were then in prime con-
dition, and that the tree is hardy, a
vigorous grower, prolific bearer and
has withstood, without injury, 80 de-
grees below zero.
The real value of fruit cannot of
course be determined from one local
ity; but this pear is certainly worthy
of at least an extensive trial in other
places. 1t may be too large and not
sufficiently attractive in appearance
to prove most successful as a market
sort.

BURDETT,s kERMON.

Bob Burdette, the inimitable hui
morist of the Burlington Hawkeye
whom everybody has laughed with
and admired, can preach, it seems, as
well as write fun. Many sketch Of
his has been so touched up by his
sympathetic nature and broad hu-
mainly that it has been sermon in
itself. But this time he has deliver
ed an actual, bona iide sermon to a
Salt Lake audience; and the Tribune
says it was one of the best ever lis
tened to in that city.
He is Mark Twain, Mr.. Moody and
Henry Ward Beecher all in one, says
the Tribune--a combination that
ought to delight any audience. He
would alternately convulse his audi.
ence with laughter and send in tell
ing shot which would show how strong
hold he had on their hearts, and
how well he understood all the wind
ings of human nature. Here is part
OF what he SAID to young men:
"Set out to do one thing in life,
and do it we'll General utility men
may know little of many depart
ments in life, but they know not any
one thing we'll Such a man will lis
ten to fine legal argument and then
study law for SIX weoks under the i'm
preston that the grandest thing is to
be lawyer; no will then attend
symphony concert and give himself
up to music for the next six months;
he will hear a telling sermon, and
conclude the ministry is his forte, and
SO on in other professions and associ-
atoms until the man amounts to moth
ing, because he does not know his
own mind. Young man, set your
mind steadfast on one purpose, and
stick to 1t, and success will come at
some time in life."

Orthodox Christians will watch with
interest, and perhaps alarm, the new
missionary movement in Germany.
So called advanced theologians have
well organized society, whose OBJ
iect is to make use of the elements
of culture and morality that are found
in educated heather nations, and on
this basis build up Christian culture
according to advanced ideas. This
society thinks that the old methods
fail in that they do not interest the
thinkers. among educated non-Chris-
tian people. 1t has 1850 members
in Switzerland and Germany, and has
a few men at work in Japan and
China New York Sun.

Saturday night, and the instrument is
now ready for astronomical purposes.
This work of eleven years is almost
finished, and all that now remnants
to perfect the telescope is to arrange
the Photographic lens, which is an inn
mense glass disk. Owing to the in
clemency of the weather Saturday
and Sunday nights the instrument

Simple Life Best for Children.

Happiness is the natural condition
of every normal child, and if the small
boy or girl has a peculiar faculty for
amy one thing it is for self-entertain-
ment; with certain granted conditions,
of course. One of these is physical
freedom and few rude and simple
playthings. Agreeable occupation is
as great necessity for children as for
adults, and beyond this almost nothing
can be contributed to the real happi-
mess of child.
81 try so hard to make my children
happy" said mother, with a sigh one
day, in despair at her efforts.
"StOp trying" exclaimed a practical
friend at her elbow, land do as
neigh Dor of mine does"
"And how is that I" she asked dole
fully.
"Why, she simply let's her children
grow and develop naturally, only di-
recting their growth properly. She
has always thrown them, as far as
practicable, upon their own resources,
taught them to wait upon themselves
no matter how many servants she
had-and tn construct their own play
4 things. When she returns home from
an absence they await but one thing
their mothers kiss. Whatever has
been brought for them is bestowed
when the needed time comes. Moth
ing exciting is allowed to them at
night, and they go to bed and to sleep
in wholesome mental state that in
sures restful slumber. They are taught
to love nature, and to feel that there
is nothing arrayed so finely as the
lily of the field, the bees and the but
terfiies; that there is nothing so mean
as IA lie, nor anything so miserable as
disobedience; that it is disgrace to
be sick, and that good health, good
teeth and good temper come from plain
food, plenty of sleep, and being good"
In order to thrive, children require a
certain amount of "Ietting alone" Su-
preme faith in the mother, few toys,
no finery, plain food, no drugs, and
early to bed, are the best things for
making them happy.

An Infatuated Stallion Kills His Groom.

Frank Lynch, workman employed
by E. V. r. Gardner at Deckertown,
N. j., was killed Saturday in mos
peculiar manner. Mr.. Gardner is a
fancy stock raiser and owner of the
stallion Storm King, which he valued
at 5000. The stallion for some time
past has shown an ugly disposition,
and had been closely confined. Lynch
thought the horse was quieter than
usual Saturday, and took him out for
exercise. While riding him the horse
grabbed him by the leg, and Lynch
was thrown to the ground. Lynch
struck the horse heavy blow, which
Infatuated him, and grabbing Lynch,
he began crushing his bones and tear
his flesh in frightful manner. Lynch
cried out and Gardner ran to the res
cue, but was unable to make the horse
release his hold, although he struck
him with all his strength over the
head. Gardner then ran to the house
for his revolver, but before his return
the brute had thrown Lynch to the
ground and almost beaten his life out
with his fore feet. When Gardner re-
turned Lynch was still alive, but in
order to rescue him it was necessary to
kill the animal, which he did with two
shots. Lynch was trampled into an
unacceptable mass, and died within
a few minutes after reaching the house.

Watering Lawns.
ConareqGtio1lalist.

During the extreme dry weather,
owners of lawns are strongly tempted
to water them, if they have the means
of doing SO. 1t would be next to i'm
possible to cart water for such a pur-
pose, but where it comes from gravita-
ton or pressure, it is not difficult to
secure a supply. If one begins to
water, the work must be kept up, and
done thoroughly, too. To water slight
ly and invite the roots of the grass
near the surface, and then rot give
them sufficient water to support the
plants to which they are attached, will
cause the grass to suffer as much, if
not more, than though no water had
been applied. Some of the worst look
ing lawns and most killed out are those
that have received some water, but not
enough Watering once entered upon
should be done thoroughly, as often as
the state of the weather demands. The
same rule will apply to all watering OF
trees or plants.
Some growers of cucum bers in frames
will give a surface watering only, and
then wonder why the fruit is not well
shapen, when the real trouble is an in
sufficient supply of water. A grower
of cucumbers remarked recently that
he never watered on the surface of the
vines, but allowed the water to flow in
great abundance between the rows
thus saturatiug the whole of the
ground. All who water artificially
should bear in mind that nature does
things on a large scale, and that when
it rains, large amount of water falls
which settles into the earth, to be alb
sorbed or taken up by the growing
plants Water will work wOnderi
with plants, if there is plenty of sun
shine.
