This is what the good people of Elko
we're promised by "Capt." Henry S.
Hill, of New York, and on Saturday
evening quite IN audience assembled
at the church. Now, we make no pre-.
tentions to christianity but we have
some respect for a house of worship;
and when Mr.. Hill, who poses as great
moral reformer, took the pulpit to play

The question whether Allen g. Thur

Human Muscle in Japan.

Japan is q land made and run by hui
man muscle. The cattle and horses
are few, and human sweat makes ia
pans bread. The mail wagons are
pulled by mon, and the streets and
castle grounds are watered by push
carts. These are filed with great
buckets which. fastened to bambo
poles, are dipped by the water-carriers
into the deep moats and the water
poured into the carts. Some of the
streets of Toxic are watered with
buckets, and I saw bare-legged and
bare-chested men carrying two big
wooden buckets of water, each of
which. judge, held about four gal
Ions. One of these buckets was fast
ened to each end of pole about four
feet long and as thick as your wrist,
and this pole was balanced on the bare
shoulder of the man. As he walked
along he turned a stick, which made
the water drip through a number OF
holes in the bottom of the bucket. He
carried his load up one side of the
street and down the other, and thus
laid the dust His wages were, am
told, somewhere between twenty and
thirty cents day, and out of this he

MEMORY OF WRONGS.

1t Il the Receiver, Not the Oliver, Who
Feels tho Force Of Blows.
The impressions which we receive
from contact with ordinary daily oc-
currences are something like those
made by rain drops on sands, to be
partially effaced or blended with new
impressions as the rain of events con-
tinues. Among these events are
class that continually repeat them
selves in nearly exact forms; these are
like the unceasing water drops which,
falling upon granite. wear the surface
into seams and cavities. Another class
Of events strike us like blows that i'm
bed themselves, or break off some por-
ton of the substance. They do their
work in an instant of time; but the
marks of violence are as ineffaceable
rs the hollow in the rock wrought by
the water-drippings of twice score of
years.
1t is the receiver, not the giver of a
blow, who comprehends its force. In
moment OF blind passion the stroke
falls, the arm dealing it scarcely re-
turning to the excited brain any thing
beyond the most perfect intelligence
of jar or wound. But he on whom the
blow falls quivers in sudden pain, and
the married flesh ever after holds the
sign of injury. The striker forgets in
day; but memory, with an intense re-
alization OF the wrong endured, keeps,
with tho stricken one, the wrong ever
after sharp in.the axis Of vision.
Some men, from thoughtfulness, and
some from ill-will, strike great many
blows, and hurt q great many persons
with whom they come in contact; and
not few of these wonder why they
have enemies. They have forgotten
the blows, the force of which at the
time were not estimated, and therefore
not recorded in their mem cries with
any more distinctness than the record
of rain drop on the sand; but they
who received the strokes have retained.

SEIF-EDuCATlON.

What Prof. Swing Has to say About Its
Numerous Advantages.
One of the advantages of self-educa-
ton lies in the fact that it permits a
strong will to follow a personal taste.
An explanation of the great success
often of what are called self-made men
may be found in their freedom to fol.
low the path of most ;lttractivcness.
Many mind is diverted by the father
or mother, or by the dignity of n COL
lege course and faculty, from the chan
mel for which nature fitted it, and thus
q genius dies, not of neglect, but Of
too much attention. The good of q
college consists partly in its being a
worlds exposition of mental wares.
The student can see and taste all the
kinds of fruit that grow on all the
trees of knowledge. Each professor
stands for department o: study and
action. Each conspicuous student is
made eminent by some mental quality
of mind or form of acquisition. Thus
the taste and drift of life are not settled
by the fact of an uncle, but upon the
broader basis of having seen the many
paths in which genius may tread. BY
the time tho student has entered his
junior year he should begin to suspect
what he is good for, and should begin
to bestow some extra attention upon
all that would fit him for that pursuit
The man who spends his junior and
senior years upon simply the college
course will never astonis1. or benefit
society much in his manhood life. II
a youth finds himself unable to go to
college, he need not feel that all is
lost, or that half or third is lost.
Self is the all. It is that something
which rises above the school house.

POULTRY-YARD ERRORS.

Seemingly Small Matters All-Important
to Success in Chicken Raising.
Many errors are liable to occur with
beginners at poultry raising, for even
the veterans are not free from mistakes
Mt times. In selecting the breed
large majority pay greater regard to
color and shape than to more desirable
qualities. It is we'll to know that the
characteristic. of the breeds should be
understood if no mistakes are to occur.
But, after breeder has become per-
fectly familiar with all that pertains to
his choice of fowls, the common routine
of the poultry yard next requires at
tention. The times of feeding should
be regular, certain hours being fixed
upon for that purpose, but they
are very few who systematically
feed their fowls. Water should
be kept in the presence of poultry
at all times, and it should not only be
clean and pure, but fresh, and yet this
important matter is overlooked by
many. Warmth in winter is very es-
sential to laying, being as important as
a full supply of feed, but every fowl
house is not warm and comfortable.
The prevention of dampness in the
house avoids roup, which is terrible
scourge in a flock, but the small leaks
here aud there are not regarded as
dangerous matters by the average
breeders. Even the height Of the roosts
and construction OF the nests have
more or less tendency to effect the
profits from poultry than many may
suppose, for high roosts cause de-
formed feet, and poor nests will not be
occupied by the hens If they can
get better places in which to lay.
These things are seemingly small mat
ters.. which are usually overlooked,
but they are important to success.
Why poultry should be expected to
prove profitable without care more
than other stock is what we do not un-
derstand, and the fact that profit is
derived from flock that has been
overlooked, is strong proof that poul-
try raising can be made to pay we'll
when conducted by thoughtful, atten-
tive persons. X. It is the small matters
that should receive careful attention,
as the observance Of method and sys-
tenn is sure to prove beneficial at all
times. 81 Farm and Garden. ss5

slightly over with beaten egg. sprinkle
them thiclkly with finely grated cheese,
ard fry In plenty of boiling fat until
sufficiently Drowned. Drain carefully
from the fat, and serve crisp and dry,
tastefully-arranged on napkin.
Savory Rice Cakes: Boil breakfast
capful of the finest rice in plenty of
milk or white stock. When the liquid
is absorbed, and the rice swollen out to
the full, turn it out into q basin and
add to it an ounce of butter, two WE'LL
beaten eggs, one tablespoonful of
tinely-minced boiled onion, and two
tablespoonful of grated cheese-a

dry for serving plain will do very
nicely for this purpose. Mix these
we'll, and season rather highly, with
salt and pepper, then allow the mixture
to get quito cold. Thus far the dish
can be prepared the previous night.
Cut the rice next morning into small
square cakes about three inches each
way, and three-quarters of an inch in
thickness. Egg and bread-crumb in
the usual manner, fry them in boiling
fat, drain carefully, and serve very
hot.
Fried Bread Cakes: These are OK

never tried them have no idea how ex-
ceedingly nice they are, and certainly
they form a dainty within the reach of
most of us. Cut slices of bread, half
an inch thick, from stale loaf; soak
these for half an hour in milk, then
sprinkle them thickly with mixture
of minced onion, herb powder, pepper.
salt and chopped parsley. Press this
firmly into the cakes on both sides,
and fry them in boiling fat. Serve
them as hot as possible, on a hot dish
covered with napkin, and garnished
with parsley. If the bread can conven-
iently be soaked in good white stock,
it renders the cakes still more dainty.
Plain Savory Pancakes: Put six ia

a teaspoonful of salt; form this into a
batter of the proper consistency-a lit
