Farm Netes.

For mending small holes in plastsrng. take
one part plaster of Paris and three parts fne
sand, mix with cold water and apply with case
knife.
TO protect fruit trees against rabbits, mice.
etc. take fine wire netting, auch as is used for
window screens. shear into strips eighteen
trees and lap over considerably. This will also
protect the tree against the borer.
The pickle industry is large one in some To-
calities. At Fredericksburg, Va, the supply
reached 30. 900, 900 cucumbers. They are picked
an inch and a half long, and bring eighty cents
per 1000. A boy can pick 5000 per day Pick
ing them off when they small increases the
productiveness of the vines, as others quickly
grow the first ones are picked of.
The real destructive agent in Paris green and
London purple is arsenic. Although these ar
ticles may be safely handled, yet they should
be used carefully. Animals or fowls that eat
eat portions that may have dropped will either
die or be made very sick. The articles should
ALWAYS be labeled to avoid mistakes.
Rye receives less care than any other grain.
It is sown the lightest soils without fer ill
izers of any kind. It will grow a crop every
three or four years sufficient to pay for the labor
expended on soils so light that no turf is ever
seen. Ii also stands OFT prominently among the
successful methods of green manuring. For
this purpose rye is second only to clover

Mr.. W. r. Andross, of East Hartford. Conn,

ground in season, without hurrying and

His first is early potatoes, which is followed

the potatoes are dug When the cabbages are
harvested, he finds another full crop of horse

English Cathedral Service.

At a recent morning service in the
cathedral at Canterbury, England, the
congregation consisted of one person.
On another occasion the congregation
consisted of four persons. These facts
have excited a great deal of comment
adverse to the Established (EpiscopaN
Church. 1t is pointed out by the radical
papers that attached to the cathedral are
a dean with $4,000 year and a palace,
six canons at $4,000 year each, and
four minor canons at 81 800 a year each,
and a number of preachers who are paid
by the sermon, besides precentors, Choir
listers and other officials. The total cost
of maintaining the cathedral as palace
of public worship is about $75, 900 per
annum, or at the rate Of 5000 per day.
The radical papers would like to know
if the salvation of solitary worshipper
for one day is worth 5000, and whether
it is not time to disestablish and dis
endow the Church of England when
congregations of one are of daily occur
renee in one of the principal cathedrals
of the Established Church.

Blue Ribbon entertainment.

The entertainment given by the Blue
Ribbon League last Saturday evening
was not so we'll attended as usual. Rev.
Mr.. Gowen and Mr.. p. G.. Jones were
conspicuous by their absence, owing to
indisposition. Mr.. S. d. Fuller was
therefore compelled to act as President,
Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary,
Chairman of Entertainment Committee,
Bouncer-in-Chief, ETC., and during the
course of the evening he made eight
speeches. Miss J. Tuck opened the pro-
gramme with piano solo, which was
excellently rendered in her usual artistic
manner, and was obliged to respond to
an encore. The next number was a
song by Miss Bernice Parke, which was
exquisitely sung and loudly applauded.
She responded with GA Tin Soldier"
Miss G.. A. Reamer next gave a reading,
which brought out her Evolutionary
powers to great advantage, and at It's
conclusion she received quite an ovation,
but did not respond. Mr.. w. 0. Atwater
then sang "The Old Sexton" after which
Mr.. A. E. Murphy gave an excellent
imitation of the observations of different
nationalities on viewing the statue of

Samoan Poll Tax.

Following is a translation of the ordl-
nance levying the tax on the Samoans:
1, Tamasese, the Kinsg, order:
1. All natives of the Samoan Islands are
to pay poll-tax for this year Of one dol
lar to the Samoan Government-that is,
every male, including boys, able to climb
cocoanut tree, and all females, including
girls, able to work.
3 This tax is to be paid to the judges of
the various districts between November
and 10, and ali judges are to pay the
money collected into the hands of the gov
errors of them by November 18th.
3. On December 18th the Governors of
districts are to pay the tax money into the
hands of the Treasurer in the capital
a. Any Samoan who has not obeyed
these ordinances or has failed to pay the
tax money by November 10th, will be fined
two dollars, and allowed to November 18th
to pay. Should he not pay the two dollars
by November 18th, he will be imprisoned
and made to work one month for the Gov
eminent.
I shall consult with the Great Powers as
to a poll-tax to be paid by white men to the
Samoan Government, and for the Polyne-
slams, servants to the whites; but this must
be in allegiance for the present.
Judges and Governors are hereby eau
toned not to offend or interfere with these
men, so that no unpleasantness may occur
between the Great Powers and the Samoan
Government.

L7ron, steamers deck we gazed full of delight,
AS palm-bowered Honolulu rose in sight.
Faster the sea-worn travellers pulses beat
With hope of pressing terra hrma with MS teet'
When, 10! a cruel fate in laws disguise,
Turns buoyant hopes into despairing signs.
The powers of the Promised Land ordaln
That in secIusion we for weary days remain.
No barred prison. though, awaits the pilgrim
bands,
Composed of wanderers from many lands
In cosy cottages they are confined,
Shaded by vines and fruit trees intertwtned
In serving us here host and menials We'd,
And every want was speedily supplied
Except the great want OF all
The liberty to step beyond the wall
Of guards and lines surrounding US.
With mellow horn taunts the driver of the
bus,
And street-lifes merry current rushes by
While we to mingle with it vainly sigh.
GIimpses of tropic scenery beyond
Incl ease the irksomeness of our bond.
The flash of beauty as it passes by,
Is tantaliz1ng to the pilgrims eye.
Silvery laughter, heard across the street,
Makes US but long the laughing girl to meet.
The sounds of life and motion fall our
And make confinement difficult to bear.
But like all evil in this world OF ours,
The thorns of our woe interviewed with
flowers.
The people of this pleasant, shady city,
Began to send pledges of their pity,
Good feeling, kindness, hospitality
Which we accept without formality.
Food for the palate-for the mind
Spiritual comfort and cigars combined;
Flowers and cake from ladies fair,
| And poi to give our meals a native air.
| some of the pilgrims, young and risky
Enjoyed Harris frozen cream and Luce's WHISKY;
While others find enhancing joys
| Slipping the liquid gifts of bung'lo boys.
| And others still, in hammocks lazily reclining
| Scan Soper's reading matter after dining.
For all these gifts, good people of the town,
Accept our heartfelt thanks, and do not troWn
! Upon us, when, set free once more,
| We walk among you on this blessed Shore
Where all vie early both and late
In showing kindness to the stranger at the gate
