SPECIAL ONE-WAY ExCURsIoNs.-T The
Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railway is
now running semi-monthly excursions
through to Portland and San Francisco, via
Denver, for the exclusive benefit of holders
of second.class tickets who want tirst-class
accommodations Only one change of cars
between Chicago and Portland and none to
San Francisco. These excursions leave
Boston every second Tuesday and Chicago
every second Thursday of each month, and
are personally looked after to destination
by conductor in charge, assisted by
porter Our Pullman tourist sleepers (Which
accompany these excursions) are all new
and built on the general plan of tirst-class
sleeping cars, having double lower and
upper berths The upper ones are closed
during the day and the lower converted
into comfortable seats. The asles are
carpeted, and mattresses, sheets blankets,
pillows, curtains and lunch tables provided,
while the toilet-rooms have plenty of pure
water, and towels, soap, combs, brushes,
etc. The only practical difference between
them and the first-class sleepers is the alb
sence of upholstering. A moderate charge
is made for these accommodations. Full
information can be obtained from Jno.
Sebastian, general ticket and passenger
agent, Chicago or any Rock Island ticket
agent.

A Hint About Bridal Presents.

1T is scarcely the right thing, said
a young bride, ito look gift horse in
the mouth; and yet it is hard not TO
speak ones mind on matter OF this
kind. 1t does seem to me that people
might think a while before buying
wedding presents. am sure If they
had done so should not have received
nine biscuit boxes. What am | to do
with them all? l can only use one at
a time, or at the most two. Now,
what is to be done with the other sew
en-? It's too perplexing. If l could
only show them it wouldn't be so bad,
but can't even do that"
Dear me! l don't know why you
should worry over such little thing
as that observed her larger sister
who had been married nine years.
Those extra'biscuit-boxes will be very
useful by-and-by. Select the one or
two you want TO keep. and then put
the others carefully away. Whenever
any of your friends marry, let a bis
cuit-pox be your gift. It'll save you
lots of money. When / was married
1 received six fish servers among my
presents. l was cross until some one
gave me the hint l have just given you
and then l was happy. 1t wasn't
Iono before made good use of the five
fish servers

He Had Turned 1t.

Button, the great naturalist, one day
entertained company of celebrated
savants at dinner, at the conclusion
of which they all went out into the
garden. 1t was very hot summers
dav. In the center of the grounds
there stood on pedestal large glass
globe, which one of the guests happen
ed to touch with his hand, when he
found, to his establishment, that it was
warmer Oh the shady side than it was
on the side turned toward the sun.
He communicated his discovery to
the other guest, who at once proceed
ed to verify the statement. What
could be the cause? An animated dis
cussion ensued, in the course Of which
every imaginable law of physics was
made to account for the strange para
dox. At length our scientists agreed
that it must be so, owing TO the laws
of reflection, repulsion or eXhalation
or some other law of physics with a
long name. The host was, however,
not quite convinced, and, calling the
gardener, he said to him: Pray tell
us why the globe is warmer on the
shady side than on the side turned to
the sun" The man replied: Because
just now | turned it round for
fear of its cracking with the great
heat"

Money in the Back Yard.

All the readers who live on farm
or have backyard in the village,
want to make money and can do it
if they go at it right. There is prob
ably nothing else on which so much
money can be made with a small
space of ground than by attention to
poultry, and it don't need to interfere
with your other business. In a small
town in New Jersey (Hammonton)
thousands of dollars are annually
laid by from the sale ofpoultry. One
man, with less than an acre of ground,
annually clears over $1,000; but, of
course, he makes it his only business.
There are forty broiler farms there
Now to do these things you must
study the question in all its phrases
and know what others have done
and are doing, and to do this there is
probably no better or more complete
way than to read leading poultry
papers of the world.

He Overdid 1t.

An eccentric clergyman in Cornwall
had been much annoyed by a way the
members of his congregation had got
ten into of looking round 20 take note
of late corners. After enduring the
ANNOYANCE for some time he said, on
entering the reading desk one day
Brethren, regret to see that your
attention is called away from your re-
ligious duties by your very natural
desire to see who comes in behind you.
I propose, henceforth, to save you the
trouble by naming each person who
may enter, and 1 hope hat the SER
vice will then be allowed to proceed
without interruption"
He then began: Dearly beloved,
but paused half wav to interpolate,
Farmer Stubbins, with his wife and
daughter" Farmer Stubbins looked
rather surprised, but the minister, with
perfect gravity, resumed his exhorta-
ton. Presently he again paused and
said. 'Sam Curtis and William Dig
gle.n The abashed congregation kept
their eyes studiously bent on their
books. The service proceeded in the
most orderly manner, the parson in
terrupting himself every now and
then to name some newcomer. AT last
he said, with the same perfect gravi-
ty: Mrs. Symons, of the Red Lion, in
q new bonnet In moment he felt
his mistake, but it was too late. Every
feminine head in the congregation
had turned round.

Improving Land.

Nature is always slow. Only man
is in hurry. Whoever talks about
improving land in the natural way
talks nonsense 1t took nature some
thousands of years, more or less, to
produce the virgin soil that the people
of this country have been exhausting.
When it is exhausted what is to be
done? Nature will do it if given time
enough, but it may take few hun
dred or even thousand years to re-
store old conditions. Man can do
this in much less time, and with man
kind time is money. Therefore, the
agricultural way is cheaper, as well
as better, than natures way. By
heavy manuring the market gardener
makes land far more productive than
it was in its original virgin fertility.
In other words, man excels nature,
which is not strange, as man has
been improving on natures work
nearly ever since he has been on this
planet.

A Word To Parents.

The opening Of our public schools
September, 9th, brings to mind the
fact that last year many children
were not entered until days and
weeks of the term had passed. That
with the fact also that al. last winter
daily could be seen on the streets
boys that ought by all means to nave
been in school constrains US to write.
AS a usual thing the reason for not
entering at the beginning of the term
and for irregular attendance lies with
the parents. We take this opportu-
nifty to appeal to all the patrons Of
our public schools to have by all
means their children and wards off to
school on the first day, and to have
them in attendance every day thar
health will permit. The school
board does its duty, the rooms are
comfortable, special attention being
paid to temperature and ventilation,
and the teachers are able, attentive
to their duties, patient with their
pupils and anxious for their rapid
advancement.
Besides these things the expenses
are born by the taxpayers that the
boys and girls of town may have the
advantage of good education. We
thus have all the appliances; there is
no break in the system, except it be
in failure on the part of the parents
to send their children. This careless
ness and neglect ought not to make
nugatory all this that costs so much IN
money and labor. The matter is
with the parents and none other
whether every boy and girl in our
town shall be brought up in ignorance
or be made to gain profitable educa-
ton. Send your boys and girls to
school next Monday and keep them
there steadily during the coming
nine months term.-Erchange.

Antidote for Ants.

/ tried several methods to prevent
ants molesting bees, writes Prof. A.
J. Cook, and found the following far
the most satisfactory: By use of a
crowbar make hole in the middle of
the anthill down to the bottom, which
is easily found by the more open or
less compact earth. Then turn into
this hole gill of bisulphide of carbon
and fill and crowd down with earth.
AS the liquid is very volatile, and can
not pass out of the now compactly
filled hole, it quickly evaporates and
kills all the ants. If clay be near
always use this to crowd into the hole,
as it is more impervious than is sand,
though by firmly pressing with the
foot the sand can be made to hold
the liquid. Kerosene may be used
instead of the carbon, but it is far
less effective. So, too, of carbolic
acid. BY means of syrup, so covered
by gauze that bees are excluded, the
ants can be trapped in great numbers
and destroyed. | have often done
this, and by adding Paris green have
poisoned the ants.

When To Broadcast Manure.

A large part of the value OF the
manure of an animal is in the liquid
form of urea, substance containing
nitrogen, and which by fermentation
changes into ammonia and is lost, or,
may be, if no precautions are taken.
This being true, the safest way would
seem to be to get the manure, both
solid and liquid, into the soil before
fermentation takes place. This may
be accomplished by drawing and
spreading the manure as fast as it
accumulates, whether in summer or
winter. 1t is also true that on steep
hillsides the plant food would be
washed away to a certain extent, but
on level land of moderate slope l
should never hesitate to spread ma
nure at any time when l could con-
veniently draw it to the field, whether
in the fall, winter, spring or summer.
1t is sometimes urged that manure
loses nitrogen by exposure to wind or
snow, but if manure is drawn out be-
fore fermentation commences, there
is little or no ammonia in it, and as
the nitrogen of manure to be volatile
must be in the form of ammonia, the
loss from this source must be very
small indeed. Manure spread on the
surface in summer or early fall should
be narrowed in, for the reason that if
left on the surface it dries in hard
Jumps and is hard to break up and
mix with the SOIL Manure applied in
the late fall, before or after the freez-
ing of the soil, is probably in the best
position possible, and l am satisfied,
not only from general observation
and the experience of the most observ-
ing farmers, but from experiments in
which the exact weight of products
has been determined, that if all'the
farmyard manure could be applied in
November instead of April, the aver
age yield would be increased by more
than 10 per cent. from this change
alone. The explanation of this is to
be found in the even distribution Of
the plant food in the surface soil.
The fall rains and the melting SHOWS
soften the manure and dissolve the
available plant food, washing it into
the soil where it is left in the best
condition possible for the young
plant.

Meringued Apples.

Peel, quarter and core dozen APP
Piles. Put them on the stove in a
double boiler, with a gill of water,
half a cup of sugar and the grated
peel of a lemon. Cook until soft,
stirring often. When the mixture is
reduced to two-thirds the original
quantity, turn it into pudding dish
and set aside. Then beat the whites
of three eggs very light, with a quar-
ter to cup ofpowdered sugar; spread
this on the apples and brown lightly
in a quick oven. Eat cold with
cream.
