 The great reason why the mission churches on the continent of Europe do not become self-supporting is the emigration to America, which takes away their best young men. This weakens them, but strengthens the churches in this country.

 The late Dr. J. F. Durbin had no patience with advertising in the pull pit. He always read notices before doing any thing else; and then when they were disposed of he would say: ''We will now begin the worship of God" putting a slight accent on the word "now. "-Boston Traveller.
 The Christians of England are not growing remiss in foreign mission work. About sixty English preachers and teachers were sent during the last quarter of 1883 to the Inland Mission of China Within 1888 nearly one million of converts were added to the Christian churches in heather lands.
 An English paper states that a minister lately rather astonished his people on 8 Sunday morning by say ing: "I think it is time we had new prayer. The old prayers are good deal worn and need renewal Perhaps a prayer like this would do: Lord. keep us from being shabby" The people grimly smiled. and some of them looking around the church walls and at each other, with some mental glances at church bills overdue and contributions never over-large, acted as if they knew what was meant.

Indications of Ewes.

There are persons who profess to interpret
character by the lines On the palms of the
hands, the color of the eyes, the hand writing
and some other personal peculiariUies. To
what extent such interpretations are correcs,
of course, we cannot say. As to the color of
the eyes being test, the explanation as we
find it is as follows:
Clear, light blue, with calm, steadfast
glance, denote cheerfulness, good temper,
constancy.
Blue, with greenish tints, are not so strong
ly Indicative Of these traits, but slight pro-
pensity to greenish tints in eyes of any color
is a sign of wisdom and courage.
Pale blue or steel colored, with shifting
motion of eyelids and pupils, denote deceitful-
Dess and selishness.
Dark blue or violet denote great affection
and purity, but not much intellectually.
Gray or greenish gray, with orange and
blue shades and ever varying tints, are the
most intellectual, and are indicative of the
impulsive, impressionable temperament-the
mixture of the sanguine and bilious which
produces poetic and artistic natures
I ok dark brown are sign of passionate
ard in love.
Light brown or yellow denote Inconsistency;
green, deceit and coquetry Eyes of no par
ticular color (only some feeble shades of blue
or gray, dull, expressionless, dead looking
belong to the Emphatic temperament and
denote hstleSS, feeble disposition and cold,

His Complexion Was Against him.

Hadji Hassein Ghooly Khan, envoy extra
ordinary and minister plenipotentiary from
Persia, is one of the favorites in Washington
society, and he is very fond of going out and
calling on the ladies, ard is always most hos
pitably received wherever he goes. That Is,
almost always, for an experience he had last
Sunday afternoon proved that he was not as
cordially received at one house as has been
his won't in the past. Ghooly Khan started
ont with the purpose Of making a round Of
calls 1t is his custom to pay his respects to
the ladies Of the fashionable world on Sunday
the same as on week days. Sunday being an
extremely pleasant day, his landau was not
brought into use. He walked from his resi-
dence on NJ street to Massachusetts, avenue
in the neighborhood of Fourteenth street,
where the objects of his first call resided
Walking up the stone steps in an indolent
fashion, he reached the door and rather tim
idly touched the electric bell. After linger-
ing some moments the servant appeared, and
before Ghooly Khan could utter a word she
shouted out: 1.-THE ladies are all busy and
cannot be bothered with you now"
''Well," said the minister, completely nom
plused, there must be a mistake; take in my
card"
Su! uOu willy uoV, duS" cl
the servant not allowing him to finish his
sentence. They are all about going to din
ner and don't care for any one to see them at
this time you'd better come again in the
morning; dnd the side door is always the
handiest place for such as yez to call"
The minister waited for no more. The re-
buff he had received at the hands of the I'M
ruly servant completely paralyzed him. He
made no more calls that day, and had about
concluded that he had had a sufficient dose Of
American society.
The ladies of the house soon learned of the
horrible" manner in which their distin-
guished caller had been received, and they
at once made heroic and happily successful
efforts to have the affair settled on basis

Things That Arc Told.

American Cultivator says: at is not
natural for the hog to live on the exclu-
sive ration of concentrated food that is
usually given when they are fattcned.
Undoubtedly corn in the ear is very fat
tening, but few hogs have digestive or
gans equal to its digestion. The ayidity
with which corn fed hogs will eat char
coal shows that their stomachs are out
of order, and the alkali is eaten to cor
rect the acidity. But it is far better to
prevent this condition than to cure it.
When cream is colder than the sur
rounding air, it takes up moisture and
impurities from the air. When the air
is colder than the cream, it takes up
moisture ard whatever escapes from the
cream. In the former case the cream
purifies the surrounding air; in the latter
case the air helps to purify the cream.
The selection of a creamer should hinge
on what Is most desired highest quality
or greatest convenience and economy in
time, space and labor, says Prof. Arnold.
A New York dairyman lays down the
following rule for making and packing
butter: Skim cream as soon as the milk
ceases to be sweet. At every Swimming
thoroughly mix all the cream. When
ready for churping in summer, the tenn
perature should not be below IS degs. or
above 60 dogs. Wash the butter in, cold
water until all the white particles disap-
pear. Salt with one and a bali ounces
of Ashton salt to the pound Let it stand
in cool place twenty four hours, then
work and pack.
One who has had experience says: All
barns should have good cave isoughs,
connected with spacious uHds aai.a
cisterns, il water is needed.

The new cotton mills have succeeded
in producing from low grade cotton
cheap substitute that will probably SUI
persede the use of jutc bagging entirely.
This is an important change. The new
bagging is made of home product instead
of an imported one, and another new in
dustry is established in the south.
Experiments with thick and thin seed
ing at the Indiana station are reported as
showing that at least six pecks of wheat
to the acre should be sown on land of
medium fertility. Thin seeding almost
invariably suffers most from severe win
tiers. With early sowing on rich land
four or five pecks of seed might answer.
One pound Of paris green to each hun
dren pounds Of land plaster did perfect
work in killing the potato beetle at the
Vermont station.
Mr.. A. w. Cheevcr, of Massachusetts,
notes the superiority Of fine sandy loan
for potatoes over a richer looking dark
soil.
American trees are the best for Amer
lea, say prominent nurserymen.
Many orchardists prefer to ''heel in"
trees for spring planting in the fall rather
than take them directly from the nursery
when wanted.
Professor Henry states &C the result Of
experiment that long cnsilago will go
nearly twice as far in feeding cows as
long fodder when large varieties of corn
arc used.
England is said to have one COW to
eight and half persons; France, one
COW to three and one-third persons, and
America, one COW to one and two-thirds

Dent VS.. Flint Corn.

In the eastern and middle states the
flint varieties of corn have the prefer
ence, while at the west and in the south
the dent or horsetooth kinds are largely
grown. The latter have larger stalks
and arc usually later in ripening than
eastern flints. Shorter seasons, says
American Cultivator, have obliged farm
ers in New England to select corn for
earliness, and this, indeed, in some sea-
sons is anywhere most desirable quail
ity to have. OF late years some very
early dent corns have been originated in
the northwest The Pride of the North
is one Of the best of these. It's habit of
growth in stalk is between the flint and
dent in size, but the ear and grain have
the deep kernels characteristic Of all
western dents. This corn win not weigh
as heavily per bushel Of grain as will the
harder flint varieties 1t is porous and
needs a good deal Of drying TO fit it for
market. In the ear these dent corns are
much heavier than the smaller grained
flints. Handling bushel basket Of the
ears is much like the handling Of an
equal bulk Of potatoes. The liability Of
dent corn to mold in tho crib in warm,
moist weather explains, and to some ex-
tent excuses, the western habit of leav-
ing corn hrsking until severe cold freezes
it dry. This is one reason why the west
ern farmers complain SO much of poor
corn seed.

Any remedy must be thoroughly tried

becomes evident long enough before ma
turity to make treatment effectual or
possible. As soon as the spores begin to
break out they will be scattered far and
wide over the whole field. Any ears that
are partly smutted at the busking should
not be thrown in with the rest, and
smutty stalks that are standing when the
corn is cut should be kept separate, and
both should be destroyed.
Farmers will urge that they cannot
