band and father society a valuable member,
the church n faithful, steady light. He was
one OF quiet ways, one of the true guardians
of the church, his counsels were wise and

kind and peace making ways. Thus he lived
in all that concerned the spiritual welfare OF
Christs kingdom, and always welcomed the
tokens OF reviving interest in the church with
great joy The little home prayer meeting,
often held under his roof, was II spiritual lux

be missed.

For Men Who Own Horses.

Never wash a horse with cold water
when he is heated
On the farm dispense with shoes, UNI
less the land is very rocky.
Feed your horse regularly three times
daily, but never over-feei.
Water before feeding, but not while
the horse is hot from work.
Use the whip very little, and never
when the animal SHES or stumbles
Never leave horse standing unhitch-
ed. 1T Is the way to make them runa-
ways.
DO not storm and fret. Be quiet and
KIND, and the horse will be SO too, in
most cases.
Give the horse large stall and good
bed AT night 1t is important that he
lie down to rest.
II a horse is vicious and unmanage-
ableable at your business, sell it to some
one that can control him.
Hay or other ground feed is indis-
pensable, and ground corn or hominy is
better than whole com.
A cotton-card is one of the best in
struments for grooming horse. 1t
cleans better than the comb.
DO not expect your horse to be equal
ly good at everything. The horse. like
the man. must be adapted TO his work.
Near the close of a journey let the
horse walk. Ii covered with sweat rub
oil with rag, to prevent too sudden
cooling.
Collar gals and bruises are benefited
by washing with salt water Wash
shoulders daily when using the horse.
Brine is good also for stiff Joints.
When flies are bad, wash the horse all
over lightly with a weak solution of car
bollc acid. If you have not the acid
apply surgeon oil on the TANKS, neck
and tender parts.

The Reward of Perseverance,
From the Boston Courier.

Some people who were travelling In
Florida last winter relate as an actual
tact an occurrence in colored church
IN 1t. Augustine. A collection was tax
Ell up, the object being To raise s. for
some pIous purpose or other. The first
time the box was passed, about half the
necessary sum was obtained. The dea-
cons counted and reported, and the
pastor announced that that would not
do at all, but the box must go around
again.
Around again it went accordingly, ac-
companied with fervent exhortations
and melting appeals to build up Zion to
the extent of 81 more; but the result
showed still deficiency of more than a
dollar
Now, brethren" the preacher said
hrmly, I'VE amt goin home
wldout dat money. Carry dem boxes
roun' onct more, and poke 'em into
dem corners under de gallery dere,
where de sinners am crowdin' togedder
an amt gibbin' nothin' to help de
blessed Lord against de miphty.'
So still again the box went on its
round, being SO eftectually poked into
the corners under the gallery that the
united contributions were in the end
only Il quarter of dollar short of the
required sum. This fact the preacher
announced with great JUNCTION, adding:
Once more roun', bredderin, an
Wen hab him, for suah."
When In the rear of the church arose
a colored philanthropist, who molly
came to the rescue of the congregation
with the generous words:
Here am 80 cents. Glib me de
change an I'll make up dat quarter"

Green Manure.

Green manuring is the cheapest mode
of enriching land, as no hauling is
required There is considerable labor
required in blowing land so treated, but
the plowIng itself is beneficial, as it re-
duces the land to finer condition, and
assists IN destroying weeds and grasses.
No field should remain idle. When one
crop comes off another should go in. II
the second crop cannot be marketed
let ii be plowed under for manure.
Early potatoes can easily be removed
In time for green manurial crop, such
as buckwheat, peas, and oats, millet,
Hungarian grass or corn. These crops
need not grow very high. Under no
circumstances should they be allowed
to mature seed, even if the season per
mitted, but should be turned under
green, so as TO quickly decompose. A
large majority of farmers, after harvest
ing their corn, leave the field until
spring. How much better ii would be
To pillow, or even harrow, the field and
sow IL thlckly TO rye, turning the rye
under in the spring for potato crop.
The plowing of the corn land would de-
compose large quantities of weeds and
grass as well as corn roots, while the
rye so grown, if preferred, can be made
to do good service for early grazing by
stock IN the spring. Other crops may
be followed by manural crops in like
manner, thereby enriching the soil by
the decomposition of its own elements,
and piecing out the manure supply
and saving hauling TO that extent.

Halt HnrXehting pnIatnea.

Some housewives claim that hill of
growing potatoes may be dug into and
the largest of the tubers removed, not
only without injury, but with positive
benefit to the crop. OF course the work
must be done quickly and carefully, so
as not to expose the roots to sun and
ar. In covering up, throw on a little
more earth than was taken away, and
compact 1t slightly with the hoe. The
operation Is very much like hoeing 1t
would not pay to harvest great amount
TINS way unless it was to get for house
use while potatoes were not otherwise
obtalnable, For market pretty high
price would be needed to make it pay =,
az most of the tubers removed will grow
more II left longer attached to the stems.
In many cases, however, the vine is
over-crowded, and the removal of the
layer may leave needed room for the
smaller ones to develop.

LONDON, August 3O.-The martial ex-
ample set by the young German en-
peror has caused all the war offices of
Europe to take on feverish activity.
More orders are issued, more inspections
held, more investigations undertaken,
than ever before. Drilling everywhere
Is lncessant. Great bodies of troops
march out of the fortified cities every
morning, and spend the day in mill
tary exercises. Never was such hard
work done before. To traveller the
continent wears the aspect of a fortified
camp wherever troops are stationed,
and they are everywhere They are
kept IN motion from morning until
night.
All over France the sound of the bugle
is heard and the drillmaster is busy in
structlng recruits. Large masses
of troops are continually march
ing from point to point on
the frontiers. Changes are made to
railways to increase their stragetic adj
vantages. In the interior, troops are
being constantly exercised, stores in
spected and transportation tested Ex-
perlments at mobilization have been
made, and it may almost be said that
France is modified. She is ready for
action and will not be taken by surprise
again"
Man9uvres now going on in the Ro-
magma have grown out of the military
spirit now prevailing throughout Eu-
rope. There are $4,000 thoroughly
equipped and well drilled troops going
through the movement of an active
campaign, under the eye of King Hum
bert, who has formed a regular
military establishment at Forli. There
the general staff seriously plot opera
tons on large scale, and the army ex-
ecutes them from day to day. Italy
has witnessed no such scene since Sol
ferino.
Little Bulgaria armed to the teeth
has caught the infection, and, under the
spirited lead of Prince Ferdinand, is
marching her little army to and fro,
strengthening Notifications and frontier
posts.
Austria, stimulated by Germany, is
gradually bringing her military forces
up to that degree of efficiency, which is
good in the eyes of her German
critics. Her troops are continually
on the move. Those on the
frontier are relieved by fresh forces
from the interior. The Hungarians,
with their usual impetuosity, cry for
action; and act as if they were prepar-
ing for immediate war.
At the same time from all the chancel-
lerles OF the continent comes the an
nouncement, "The peace of Europe will
be maintained"

Artesian Wells in SonOma

A few weeks ago, according to the
Weekly Bulletin, "a fine flow of excel
lent water was struck at adepth of nine
tv feet, on a lot a little to the east of the
town of SonOma, belonging to Mr.. Gil
bert. The next attempt was made at
Mr.. Wrinkles vineyard, when alta depth
of eighty-:wo feet flow of 10000 gal
Ions per day was obtained. The tools
were then moved about $50 feet south
to the lands of J. Gundlach, where still
greater success was met with. At a
depth Of one hundred and ten feet a
flow of 100000 gallons per day was
reached. Both these wells are located
in the foot hills, considerably above the
level of the valley and supposedly in a
very unlikely place to find such re-
suit. The tools penetrated successive
LAYERS Of sand, rock, and clay. the water
being found below the latter. The
water comes out with considerable force,
and will overflow pipe twenty feet
above the surface. The fortunate own
ers of these wells consider them worth
not less than $4,000 apiece. The tenn
perature of the water is constantly TO

Tho Steel Horse Rake

One OF the advantages of the old re-
revolving wooden horse rake was that II
did not dig into the soil as most of the
steel ones do. This is really serious
objection to the latter. 1t loosens stones
and on many pieces of stubble it stirs
the soil so that weed seeds just buried
beneath the surface are started into
growth. Unless the field is pretty
thoroughly seeded with clover many
weeds will thus grow and ripen their
seeds. We have seen yellow charock
started to growing in this way and make
ing the field yellow with its blossoms in
the fail. The red root seed is also start
ed, and as this lives through winter il
ripens its seeds about the time the
clover Is cut next year. The steel rake
Is not adapted to land infested with
these weeds. Perhaps it is better to be
little old-iashioned and use one of the
horse wooden revolving rakes.

Italian Etiquette.

No one gets very intimate with the
Italians. They are very warm hearted
sOClable and easy up to a certain point
there IT ceases. The young diplomats
who live in Rome notice this: although
they have lost their costumes, they
have kept their customs and one of
these is certain repellant atmosphere
where extreme intimacy is expected.
There is in Rome-the more's the pity
IA slow vanishing of the picturesque i;
but, although Roman princess may
wear modern gown and retain moth
ing of the past but her splendid jewels,
she is the same proud lady that she
was, or that her great-grandmothe was,
and she like her, repels intimacy or ia
mlliarlty beyond a certain point. One
very important point is that they never
wish TO be touched. In our country a
lady talking with another will often lay
her band on her friends arm: this is
considered a very great and objection
able familiarity by the Italian. "Ney-
er touch the person. it is sacred F." is an
Italian proverb. A lady in Italian So
cietv, 10 be very polite, will shake
hands when introduced to an American
the first time. but she rarely extends
her hand the second time. she makes a
deep and graceful courtesy. If ner
friend is in affection, she comes. takes
her hand and presses it to her heart
but there Is nothing of the free. easy,
caresslng, none of that intimate kissing,
nothing like the superficial intimacy
which we observe between American
women.
