i've Gents,
An Everyday Christian.

Jerry McAuley's was truly an every day,
practical kind of Christianity. He carried
it with him on week days as well as on
Sunday. He proved by his actions that he
was indeed follower of the greatest and
best teacher in history. Theory played no
very prominent part in Jerry's religion.
He believed that man was better off in a
material sense for his being a Christian.
He had great belief in THIS world, and in
that lay the secret of his marvellous success.
He used to preach the blessing Of enough
to eat; enough to wear; a good fire and
decent place to sleep; that was good part
of Jerry's religion. He not only preached
it, but he held out the helping hand to all.
An editor of a western paper. who was in
New York, after an extended spree found
himself without sufficient means to get
meal. He wandered along the wharves,
and meeting a longshoreman. asked him
where he could get bite to eat. The man
told him to go to Jerry McAuley's and he
would be ''gOod for feed" That was
Jerry's idea of what Christian should be.
To be Christian. with him. meant to be q
worker; he recognized that words, words,
words, were of little use without practical
aid. What are theology and metaphysics
to a starving man. He would often say to
those about to give their testimony at the
meetings, IF you have come in here with
long. prepared speech. just cut off both
ends of it and give us the middle" and l

menced this article intending to write at
length. but will close with this remark:
Jerry McAuley was THE man tor the work
he took in hand, and his life fully demon
strates that any other kind than practical
Christianity is farce. PHOENIX.

And Levite like pass on around
The very good may grow still better.
And then not feel their load fetter
The bad grow worse. and yet not be
Out of the reach OF humanity.
The Seasons all come on at once,
The Year be two or twenty months;
December warm, No Sun in May
I'm not despairing either way;
For that has come for which I've striveE
With anxious heart-I am forgiven.
Not by the head and front of State;'
Not by the few who love to hate
Nor can claim this need of heaven,
Though an angel said you are forgiven"
Yet it has come, and brought in coming,

Crime As n Profession.

Those who have violated the laws of the
land may be properly divided into two great
classes. the professional and the non-pro-
fessional criminals. The professional Grim
inal pursues his calling as means of sup
port: he has more or less extensive ac-
quaintance with other criminals; he looks
upon Imprisonment as something to be ex-
when his sentence is served he promptly re-
turns to the arms of his former associates
and plans new crimes for the future.
The non professional criminal comes from
all classes of society. Circumstances have
led him to the commission of crime. He
has no intention of always gaining his sup
port by dishonest methods II he steals.
fOrges or embeZZles it is because of some
peculiar circumstance. If he goes to prison
he is very likely to be there under his own
name. After staying there short time
there is a strong probability of his devel-
Oping into professional. Let us pass him
by and consider briefly the professional
criminal.
Whatever may be his ''specialty'' or pc
pursues his vocation, he has but one final
Object-mOney. Does it pay to be crimi
nal is therefore an important question. Let
us look at it exclusively from this stand
point of dollars and cents. Just as in the
honest walks of life there are various pur-
suits suited to different intellects. so in the
paths of dishonesty there are various ways
and means demanding varying degrees of

An eminent German sanitary expert says
that chemists have succeeded in making
frst-class brandy out of sawdust. A man
can, therefore. get rip saw and go out and
get as drunk as lord on fence rail. A
man can make brandy mashes out of the
shingles on his roof; he can get delirium
tremens by drinking the legs of his kitchen
chairs You may shut an inebriate out of
gin shop and keep him away from a tav-
ern. but if he can become uproarious on
boiled sawdust and desiccated window sills
any attempt at reform must necessarily be
failure. and we think that the opinion of
sanitary crank upon the jim-jam of a

COLTS PAY HANDSOMELY.

There is more money to be made from
colts, whether of the horse or mule kind,
than from any other farm animal. A
three year-old colt will cost no more for
feeding than q three year-old steer, but
it will frequently sell for twenty-five or
thirty cents per pound Of live weight
against two to four cents per pound for
the steer. So that it is we'll worth the
cost to rear colt we'll This is the

ART OF COOKING FISH.

Fish must be fresh and thoroughly
cooked. It must be washed, wrapped in
a sailed cloth and put N a cool place I'M
til wanted. Never put it in the ice chest
to impair the milk and butter. It should
be baked or boiled. Salmon is the only
fish that is not rendered tasteless by boil
ing, for the reason that it is richer than
all others in oils and juices. All kinds
of fish are improved by the addition Of
vinegar or lemon juice to the stuffin@, or
to the water in which they are boiled, or
they may be simply rubbed over with the
acid before boiling or baking. The acid
counteracts the excess Of alkai always
found in fish. If they are to be broiled
the broiler must be rubbed with fat, to
prevent sticking, and the fish turned of
ten to prevent burning. If they are to
be baked they can be lifted from the pan
without breaking, if a strip of cloth is
put under them, across the pan. The
cloth to be of cotton and to be rubbed
with fat to prevent sticking.
Sailed fish, like sailed meat, has lost
its nourishment, and is only serviceablG
as a relish. The varieties of fish balls,
croquettes, and other similar prepare.
tons, are of value only on account Of the
vegetables, eggs, milk and butter which
they contain.
Shell fish, namely oysters and CLAIMS
are most easily procured, and the most
healthful of this variety of food. Il
oysters are to be cooked, they must first
be washed and drained. If the liquor
that always accompanies oysters, is to be
used, it must be strained and cooked first.
and carefully SKINNED before the oysters
are added. When the edges of the oysters
begin to curl they are done. Both oysters
and CLANS are most nutritious wher
slightly cooked. Detroit Free Press.

HOW TO KEEP THINGS CLEAN.


A good way to clean an iron sink is to
rub we'll with a wet cloth in kerosene
oil.
To keep tinware nice and bright, scour
it every two or three weeks with finely
sifted coal ashes.
Strong brine may be used to advantage
in washing bedsteads. Hot alum water
is also recommended for this purpose.
If your dishes must be washed in hard
water, add little milk to the water and
do without soap. Try this and see if you
don't like it.
Soiled coat collars can be rubbed with
ammonia, and then a wooden cloth laid
over and hot tat iron held just over the
cloth to steam it without pressing.
Carpets should be thoroughly beaten
on the wrong side first, and then on the
right side, SO as to leave it fresh. Spots
may be removed by the use of OK gall or
ammonia and water.
If your flat irons trouble you, by drop
ping black specks from the top or sides
when ironing, take them in pan of
soapsuds and give them thorough wash
ing and dry quickly to prevent rusting.
In cleaning oil cloths use no soap, or
scrubbing brush; but wash off the dirt
with water and flannel. Then 60 over
with milk, and rub with a soft brush till
dry and shining .-H0usee0Je

sOwED SORGHUM 4 DELUsIoN.

Some journals, especially at the West,
are urging that sorghum be sown broad
cast for fodder, as corn sometimes is.
Time was, when a new soil was free from
weeds, sowed fodder would not be prema-
turely chOked out. But of late Western
lands cultivated few years become even
more weedy than well-tilled lands at the
East. The Western farmer cultivatinG
large areas grows the big kinds of corn,
avowedly because they sooner Outgrow
the weeds, and thus need not be cult
waited so late. The consequence is that
weed seeds ripen by the million. Sorghum
seed is small. Its first growth is much
slower than corn. About midsummer it
shoots forward rapidly, and will then out
grow corn, and be especially valuable in
time of draught, as its roots run deeply.
But it needs cultivation, if not hoeing,
early in the season or before midsummer,
or it will be choked out by weeds. An
other reason for cultivation is to insure
space for the leaves to reach the sunlight.
Crowded together as it is apt to be when
sown, even if not Overgrown with weeds,
the sorghum is not sweet. It's stalk is
hard to be crushed, and is filed with a
poor, watery juice of but little value for
feeding, and none whatever for the sugar
manufacturers.-BostOn CultiUdtor.

REVENUE FROM A FLOCK OF HENS.

A flock Of hens should pay at least 81
a head clear profit each year. This is a
low estimate, and by careful management
can be made twice as much; but | think
among farmers more come short Of this
than exceed it. The fowls are often left
too much to the women and children, or
to Tom, Dick and Harry. How often do
they have nothing in tie shape of lime,
or dust to roll in, or water to drink, I'M
less they find it for themselves How
often their quarters are cold, or wet, or
filthy-no profit need be looked for in
such ca:es.-Nc10 York Tribune.

SULPHUR, LARD AND KEROSENE.

Sulphur is advocated as lice destroyer.
1t is recommended to use the flowers of
sulphur to dust the hens with or put in
their dust bath, claiming that the heat
from the body generates a gas which kills
the lice. 1t IS accepted by nearly every
body that this is fact, yet it is an
erroneous idea. The fact of the heat
from the body generating gas is absurd,
and for killing lice it is folly. If YOU
wish to use sulphur in any form give it
in dry weather internally, and only exter-
nally for scurvy leg. To kill lice
efTectually, several remedies may be re-
stOrted to. Lard to which is added about
one third kerosene oil well mixed to-
gether and applied lightly under the
wings, behind the comb and around the
vent, will usually dissipate vermin. In
sect powder is very good and sure, but
costly. Kerosene oil is sure death to lice,
but in its raw state would be too irritating
to the flesh Of the hen, and | conceived
the idea of using it in the following
manner with gratifying results: Take
five cent bar Of soap, shave it fine, dissolve
it in enough boiling water to make it
thick, stir in pint of kerosene oil and
add boiling water slowly, stirring quickly
so the oil will not float on top Let it
cool down to blood heat. Now take your
fowl and hold it in the mixture, head out,
with your hand rub it well into the
feathers, rub them down and keep them
confined in a warm place. Do this on
dry, warm day, and it won't hurt them
as much as being out in the rain all day.
am as afraid of lice as roup, canker,
swelled head or cholera. The other pest
is the small red lice which will reduce a
flock about as quick as disease if they get
the upper hand, but are more easily dis
posed Of. Completely cover the roost
poles with pure kerosene oil and they will
never trouble you any more.-O Orange

Wood-ashes are excellent on moist
soils.
Use powdered hellebore for the currant
worm.
Feed the young chicks often but not
too plentifully.
Give good feed and extra care to the
horses that are at farm work
Oats is the great staple horse feed of the
world for all classes of horses.
If you want the best work from your
teams you must feed just right.
Colt shows among the draft horse
breeders are becoming popular.
The much-abused crow is also one of
the best aids in DISCRIMINATING the white

Care should be taken to supply every
animal kept on the place with all the
water it needs.
Transplant the tomato plant with care,
keeping good solid ball Of earth on the
roots till reset.
The same food, without variation,
should not be given to poultry for any
considerable length of time.
The drinking vessels for fowls should
be often reflled and kept clean. Hens
drink little at time, but often.
