THERE is a colored congregation OF
Methodists, who, until couple OF
months ago, were led in the paths OF
rectitude by a very young preacher.
He was fluent son OF Ham and the
length of the words he hurled at his
hearers was only limited by his lungs
at one effort.
This was all very well for time, but
when the elders of the church saw that
the argument adduced did not draw
the erring ones nearer to the big white
throne a change was decided upon and
a committee of one was appointed TO
ask for the preachers resignation.
When the errand had been stated
the preacher Indignantly asked what
the congregation expected for nothing.
"Waal. now, doan' yo' see, We duz
zent expect"
"Isn't my character away up yam
above procrastination?"

"Dat's it, chile, dat's it; hole right

yo' can talk, but yo' don't pint out; yo'
kin arglfy an yo' kin argify, but 20
doan't show wharein."
The resignation was handed In di
rectly.

II is a simple matter to test kerosene
oil. The point or danger is called the
flashing point, which is the degree of
temperature at which it is evaporated
and explodes- The lowest safe point is
100 degrees; 100 degrees is low enough
for domestic use. To make the test,
pour a small quantity of kerosene in a
small saucer or tin vessel, and feat 1t
In basin of water heated to 100 de-
grees, Apply lighted match an inch
OF so above the oil and If 1t takes fire
in the water and note the temperature
as it falls and the lowest point of flash
ing is easily ascertained, or the water
may be gradually heated by adding
boiling water from so degrees up, and
the flashing point found out.

AProminent M.rchant in Trouble.

Old money bags mopes in his Office all day,
AS snappish and cross as a bear;
The clerks know enough 10 keep out of his
way,
Lest the merchant should grumble and
swear.
Even Tabby, the cat, is in fear of cuff,
Or kick. if she ventures too near;
They all know the master is apt to be
rough,
And his freaks unexpected and queer.
What makes the old fellow so surly and
grim,
And behave so confoundedly m can?
There's certainly something the matter
with him
Is it stomach, or liver, or spleen?
We've guessed this liver is sluggish and
bad,
His blood is disordered and foul,
It's enough TO make any one hopelessly
mad,
And greet his best friend with a growl.
The worldwide remedy, DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, will correct a
disordsred liver and purify the blood, tone
your system and build up your flesh and
strength.

Fire Ctriously KindLed.-A curious

THERE IS pest, the peach louise, that
should be carefully looked after. An
examination of the young branches OF
the trees will show many or them 10 be
filled with a scale not larger than the
hull OF a fax seed, and placed very
close together. SO close that they appear
to overlap each other. Under these
little scales are thousands OF eggs that
will soon be Matched out by the warm
sun and will play havoc with the
young bark and the fruit OF the trees
The best way to eXterminate them Is
to cut off and burn the young branches
that are very badly affected. Where
the cutting away of the larger branches
would inIure the tree, the best way TO
destroy the pests IS TO wash them with
fish oil or with a strong suds made of
whale oil soap. The trunk OF the tree
may be subjected to the same kind of a
washing. 4 few hours devoted intelli-
gently 10 this work will repay the fruit
grower ten times over in a large crop
OF superior fruit, and Will save his trees
from destruction for many years to
come.

CRANBERRY CULTURE.--Years ago,
when the entire cranberry crop or the
country was obtained from the wild
CRANBERRY bogs." scoops and rakes OF
a peculiar construction were used In
gathering this fruit In using these
implements the vines were usually
broken off or pulled out by the roots,
and large quantities OF weeds, grass,
and mud got mixed with the berries,
all OF which had to be picked and
washed out before the fruit was ready
for use or market The cranberry rake
is still used on some of the wild plan
tations, but much of the fruit gathered
with this implement is badly bruised,
causing it to decay much sooner than the
hand picked. Gathering by hand is
now considered preferable to any Othe
mode, not only as being the least injurl-
Gus to the vines, but also to secure
clean, sound berries. AS the hand
picked fruit commands a better price
IN market than that gathered with
scoops and rakes, the extra expense OF
gathering it is more than made good to
the cultivator.

FARM NOTES

HONE GARDENING.-Chief OF All
things Is rich ground. Some Is natur-
ally better than others, but none Is
nearly good enough without large addl-
tIons of manure, of which horse aud
cow have no superior. Put on what
you regard as an excess, then double
the quantity. and If you Will continue
the operation every spring you VIII
have IL about night.
Where there is plenty OF land, the
preferable form of a garden Is long
rectangle, the rows the longest way
permitting OF horse cultivation.
Where the plot is small, necessitating
cultivation by hand, 1t Is still wise to
have the longest lows or beds possible,
since even then the cultivation can
largely be done by hand plows-
Be sure the garden Is broken up
deeply and the manure put largely
near, or IL 1t is very fine, on the sur
face. The surface ought to be worked
over before planting, by harrow. rake
or roller, until there is not clod as
large as a bCy's marble, and no hills or
ridges ought to be tolerated, even for
raising sweet potatoes The cultiva-
tion ought TO be nearly level through
out the season.
