THE w. C. T. u. COLUMN.

A WEEK OF PRAYER FOR THE NATION
Al. STATE AND LOCAL ". 9. T
MARCH 18TH TO 18th. 1888
Beloved Sisters:-We call every
union. and every woman in our heroic
constituency to spend week in uni
ted and special prayer, both private
and public, for such baptism OF wis.
dom and courage upon ourselves, and
such q putting forth of divine
power as shall be felt in ell this land.
Reasons: The year upon us is one OF
struggle and destiny. Within these
months the temperance cause shall be
in the very heart of mighty contest
Then let us pray,
First: That upon our great organ
ization may come fresh impulse
from Heaven; and on every active
worker new snointing OF the Spirit.
Second: For our unused member
chip held to Us by pledge and name,
but not consecrsted to the spirit ana
activities of the work. Let us ask
God to call our own women from idle
ness to service.
Third: For the great body of
Christian womsnhood who yet stand
afar from this greatest of missionary
agencies for the salvation of our own
and other lands.
The meetings of the week need not
be widely public, nor their aim to in
vite universal attention. Begin quiet
" an afternoon meeting for prayer in
your own usual place Of meeting,or 10
. parlor, with the hearts touched al.
ready with longing for more OF God
in our work, and more of His power
on all out people. Make special effort
frst for all members of the unions,
that together we may offer our pray
ers. If attendance widens, ss it will,
do not allow discussions upon the
temperance reform or sit methods.
Seek God. Seek Him alone for q
great awakening of the church and
The nation. The liquor traffic is here
with it's abominations legslized be.
cause OF spiritual death. We need
conscience aroused and made true
Sisters of the w. C. T. u. set the
week apart, bold at least one meeting
a d-y tor the quiet, unostentatious
seeking Of God herein suggested.
Two public evening meetings, with
sermons, gospel talks, or conferences
would be of great value. The even
ing of March 25 might be made effec-
tive by union services where these
can be secured. When the churches
cannot give way for this. bold such
meeting in the afternoon of that day.
No topics are suggested lest they
lead from the one central thought Of
sll the days. Many things you will
remember: our own work; our coun.
rry's need and perils; the workers
who must 90 out into the coming
contest; the plesders at the hreside;
the voters at the ballot hox; but this
one thing seek and find: Gods touch
of power upon our own spiritual life'
and the spiritual life of the nation.
On behalf of the National w. G. L.

Making Silver Dimes,

1t is not generally known hat the
United States Mint, on Fifth street, is
the largest institution of the kind in the
world, yet it is a fact. Just at the pres
ent time there : lively demand for
silver dimes, and hundreds of Thousands
Of dollar, of thcn are being shipped to
New York, Ch.cag inciunaji, 81.
Louis and other Eastern citi,s Two of
the money presses have been for some
time running exclusively On this coin.
The demand is so great that these
machines ar, not even stopped on sun
days, and will be run on that dav
throughout the present month.
The process of dime making is an
interesting onu. The silver bullion is
first melted and run nto two-pound
bars. These in turn are run through
immense rollers and tiattened out to tho
thicknc of ne coin. Th.sc silver
strips are then passed through Il machine
which cuts them INTO the proper size for
the press, the strips having first been
treated with kind of tallow to prevent
Their being scratched in their passage
through the cutters. The liver pieces
are then put INTO the feeder o.. the print
ing presses, and are fed to tie die by
automa : machinery at the rate Of 100
-,ser minute, r.. 900 dimes being turned
out in the regular working day Of cighi
hours.
As tn" smooth pieces are pressed be-
tween tic ponderous printing dies they
receive the lcttcred and figured impress
sion in a manner similar to that Of 90
paper pressed upon form of type: at
the same time the piece is expanded in
slight degr and the small corru .a,ions
are cut into its rim. The machine drops
the completed coin into a re civer, and
it is ready tor the counters hands.
The instruT t useo y the counter Is
not complicated machine by any
meas, as OF" might suppose. 1t is a
simple, copper-cGlorcd tray, having
raised ridges running across its surface
ut distance apart the exact width of Il
a me. Fro'n the receiver the money is
dumped on 10 this board or tray, and as
it is shaken rapidly by the counter the
piece settle down into the spaces be-
tween the ridges. All these spaces being
filled, the surplus coin is brushed back
into the receiver, and the counter has cx-
actly 1850 silver dimes. or 1925, on his
tray, which number is required to eli
the spaces. The tray issthen omptied
into boxes, and the mo- is ready for
shipment The dime uocs not lt>s
through the weigher's hands, a does the
coin of larger denomination. One and
one-ha!f grains is allowed for dollar
down, az ! the deviation from the stand
ard. in the case of ten ""nt pieces, is so
trfling that the trouble and expense of
weighing coins of this denomination
are dispensed with.-Sm Er0Rcisc0

She wished to give her husband chain

the husband, who is an express mes
senger between Bridgeport and this city,
was asked by the hair worker to get a
hair chain in this city of the color If a
lock of hair which WAS handed him.
He did so, and paid fifty cents for the
ready made chain. In due time the
wife called for her chain and got it,
paying s6. 80 for it. Then She gave it
to her husband, who recognized it "a

Potato Foliage.

Not every farmer knows that whatever
Injuries the foliage of the potato is a
direct injury to the crop. The leaves of
the vine are the feeders of the root, and
are so essential to the growth of the
tuber that whenever they are injured
nature does all she can t. repair the
harm by her own rccuperative forces.
When potato bugs begin eating the
vine, but are stopped, the plant will put
on new leaves. and do its very best to
repair the damage. Further. any other
attack on foliage is Just as bad as the
dreaded bugs We once knew a man
who thought to do smart thing by cut

vines as if a fire had passed Over them.
There is much difference in Paris green.
Some dealers seems to understand the
popular tendency of farmers to use it too
strong, and therefore they adulterate it
so as to guard against tbs d,nger, ard
to add to their own profit.
The result altogether is that tie

tnDroViu1t he Orchard.

\ cores, dent who is anxious to
know how to improve is orchard is an
swcred as follows by tn lm rmq Cuti-
gd'0.: TIE orchard in question, as
stated by our correspondent, is some
what run down in fertility, and he wishes
t. ';now the best manural clements to
usc in reviving it. He believes with
proper Treatment that, although now only
,irly pT Iciive i can be made doubly
50 without injcrv TO trees.
Cur correspondent ia Is to state
whether the orchard n question is an
apple, peach or pear Olchard Ur whether
the trees are far enough a art to'c'llf'-
vate between the rows. If an app.e
orchard, aud the trees are 'srgc, it will
not lie best TO run plough very near
thtm: but if the trees are from two to
three rods apart, a strip may be p!oughed
between each row and planted to some
LJed crop, which should be heavily
dressed with compost, IN lde largely Of
good stable manure.
The space Immediately around the
trees not touchcl by the plougI should
be literally top dressed with well rottcd
manure and unicached wood a>Aes.
There 4, probably nothing better for
orchard Of any kind of fruit than lard
wood ashes. They should be spread
broadcast beneath the trees over Il space
extending several feet from the trunk of
the tree, instead of Placing them directly
around the base, as is sometimes done.
If it is not desirable or convenient to
cultivate any portion OF the orchard it
can be renovated by liberal top dress
ing of well ro:ted stable manure A
mulch of refuse hay placed around the
bodies of the tres will be found bene-
fetal, provided they are SO large and the
bark so thick that mice will not girdle
them. Pasturing orchards with hogs is
an excellent method of improving their
fertility There is another advantage in
pasturing with hogs, as in addition to
enriching the soil they pick up the wind
falls and destroy the worms, which cause
a great loss of fruit every year.
