SEMlLUNAR FARDELS OF THE CLER.
ICAL SEX.

The use of the LII. d. is the most
droll and incongruous, butethe use
of the d. D. is the most discredita-
Bile. The wild profusion with which
the cIergy-list of every sectiip Amer
lea are spotted all over with the
symbols described by the late, DR..
Cox as semilunar fardeIs," is due
not only to the amiableness or the
business enterprise of the colleges,
but to the small vanity Of what
George Eliot unsympathetically
characterizes as the clerical sex.
Here is curious paradox that the
one set of men to whom this sort of
distinction is forbidden, under the
command, "Be you not called Rab.
bi," should be the only set of men in
America to seek it, and ostentatious.
iy parade it. The lawyer who should
put Ill. d. ON his tin sign, on his
briefs, or at the head of his notepa-
per, would soon find his life made a
burden by the wags of the profession.
1t is only the Christian minister who,
being tapped on the one cheek with
this aecolade, promptly turns the
other also. If is we'll understood
that ministers as a class do very
much like this kind Of thing; and
faithfully doing to others as they
would that these should do to them,
are punctilious in bandying compli,
mentary titles among themselves,
such as are disused by the good
taste and self-respect of more secu-
lar men.-ReU. DIR. Leonard WoOlSey

LOST IN THE WRECK OF LIFE.

A stranded wreck upon lifes stormy
shore,
Lies tempest tossed, !.
And furious waves that broken bark roll
Ger,
And all seems lost
The morn was fair ; with sails of hope all
She pu. to sea,
A precious freight of love she bore, and
yet,
A wreck to be.
Twas thought with sails like hers and
freighted SO
She'd safely steer,
And would through every sea and tenn
pest 60,
All! suddenly and unforeseen blast
Came, whelming all e
There was no help, no answer to the last
Heart-rending call.
And there she stranded lies, her costly
store
OF love most rare
Forsaken on that bleak and lonely shore
Doth perish there

Cabbage in Kitchen Gardens.

Where only few cabbages are grown
for home consumption 1t hardly pays to
raise the plants from seed. Buy the few
plants wanted whenever suitable time
comes for setting them out. Set from
two to three feet apart each way, accord
ing to the variety, and cultivate often.
A good crop of winter cabbages can be
raised by sowing the seed in the open
ground from the 10th to the Goth Of
June; drop few seeds in each hill, and
when the plants are well up thin them
out, leaving them about three feet apart.
The Early Jersey, Wakefield, and Hem
derson's Early Summer are good for
early use, while Fottler's Brunswick and
Stone Mason Drumhead are standards
for fall and winter. Half row Of the
early varieties will be found sufficient,
and as to the late sorts plant quite a
quantity, as there will be plenty # room
for them after the pea crop has been
gathered and cleared away.

Set Times for Planting.

A correspondent of The World writes:
l have transplanted trees at all hours Of
the day and in different ages Of the
moon, also at night, but without discov-
ering any Of the advantages that so
many people think belong to certain set
times for seeding and planting. As far
as the moons influence is concerned I
know of nothing that justifies any belief
in it, but for transplanting, and es-
pecially for tender varieties, the evening
is to be much preferred to the morning
of sunshiny day. In this way the
newly set plants get few hours of a
genial and moist atmosphere, during
which the soil settles around them and
enables them to make q slight start be-
fore they are subjected to the sunlight.

Private Information.

A young diplomat was at q court
ball in Russia not long before the
death of Nicholas. The young man
was dancing, and, it seems, danced
badly. Now Nicholas liked to have
things done smartly at his balls, and,
walking up to the young man, he said /:
when one does not know how to
dance, one does not dance at all" II
was most unusual thing for the great
autocrat to address q remark to any
body, and Russian society, crowding
about the young man, asked what the
car had said. The young diplomat
had the wit to reply: "His majesty's
most gracious words being intended
for myself alone, / do not feel at lib
erty to repeat them" On the strength
of this he had great success In st. Pc
tersburg.-San Francisco Argonaut.

HOG CHOLERA.

A Few "Donts' That 1t Will Be Wise to
Practice In Every Swine Yard and PEN.
T. s. Billings in a work recently pub
lished on swine plaques, expresses his
opinions and experiences on hog cholera.
resume of which is here given in the
form of list of ''Donts:"
Don't leave well hog in place where
sick one is or has been, moment long
er than can be helped. Don't fail to ex-
anime such separated well hogs twice
day, and to remove any that may be-
come i'll from the others. Don't allow
the same person to take care of the af-
fected and well hogs. Don't allow any
intercourse of men, dogs or hens between
the pens of either lot of hogs.
Don't put a new lot of healthy hogs in
pen, or upon land where swine plague
has been for less than three years, unless
the same has been thoroughly cleansed
of all refuse, plowed and dug up several
times, and exposed to the air for an en-
tire summer season. Don't forget that
closed pens, sheds, straw stacks and ac-
cumulated litter is more dangerous than
open country when swine plague has
prevailed in such places. Don't water
hogs from running streams. Don't place
your hog pens or runs SO that they can
drain into running streams
Don't forget that all such places should
be well drained and kept as dry as pos
sible. Don't bury dead hogs when you
can burn them up. Don't buy or sell
sick hogs. Don't visit your neighbours
hogs when sick, or allow him to visit
yours if well. Don't forget that watch
fulness. carefulness and diligence will
do more to prevent swine plague than
all medicines. Don't forget that without
these things being adhered to the most
practical vaccine will ever prove next to
useless. Don't forget to keep these rules.
Fast Walking Farm Horses.
have lately seen number of articles
on this subject, but these generally make
no discrimination as to pace.
None Of these recommended less speed
than four miles per hour, while others
recommended five to six miles per hour.
I have had considerable experience with
the walking pace of horses during my
long life, but do not recollect one as at
tanning six miles, and rarely one over
four miles per hour in blowing. These
PAGES recommended are desirable for
wagon work, narrowing and perhaps
some others. Anything over four miles
for the latter have found does not lay
sod so true in line as slower pace, and
not flat over when desired, while in stub
BILE it throws the turned up soil too far
in front and also from the side of the
furrow.
In general blowing I recommend a
pace not faster than three and half
miles per hour, and that is about as fast
as plowmen care to walk over the usually
rough and uneven surface Of the field.
At four miles per hour they generally
complain that it is too fatiguing to con-
tinue steadily along the whole day, and
find they want to rest themselves and
team short time about every half hour,
and If quite hot every quarter of an
hour. So do not see that there is much
gain in obtaining pace in general plow-
ing of over three and half miles per
hour, and in some ground I prefer not
over three miles.-National Stockman.

Do You Eat TsrrapIn :


The city Of Baltimore, Maryland,
is noted for its epicurean feasts at
which backed ducks and
terrapin stews are the erOwning
delicacies. In tins place we yield
to no place in lhe.matter Of ducks,
green turtle, mullet, ETC., but we do
not know much abont terrapin.
Here is a memorandum on terra
pin stew from the Baltimore Sun :
Eastern Shore Style for terra
pin means that every terrapin used
must be diamond back measuring
not less than 81 inches on the bot
tom she'll. They are put alive in a
caldron of boiling water and par
boiled until The shells shall come
apart with but little effort. and The
skin will easily slip from lhe feet ;
then remove and pick thoroughly
and do the rest of the cooking in
chafing dishes on The table. The
Eastern Shore style does not call
for wine to be cooked with terra
pin. Sliders, snappers and musk
rats, when the purpose is 20 palm
them off for terrapih upon the un-
knowing, are cooked in wine 10
disguise the natural flavor of these
wild things, but wine cannot i'm
prove the natural and subtle flavor
of properly cooked diamond-b back
rerrapin. A good dressing to be
used with the lerrapin for those
who think it must not be served in
its nakedness is made OF the yolks
of fresh Leghorn hen eggs, gilt
edge butter, little olive oil, & lit
tie mustard and a dash OF red pep
per. Celery is the only vegetable
TO eat with terrapin, and cham
pagne in small quantities, say
glass 10 plate of terrapin, is the
proper wine. Lalla ROokh (frozen
egg nog) comes IN nicely between
the plates at the end of the course.
Finally, never he ashamed 10 be
served more than once with terra
PIN. II it's there IFS a good form
To take a second or a third plate.
Six were taken at the dinner now
being described.

Now York World.

New York World.
The Germans appear to be deter
mined to make up for their disast-
rous failure on The East Coast of
Africa by proceeding in the most
high handed fashion in Samoa.
Nor have their acts of aggression
been confined 10 the unfortunate
natives. Incredible outrages are
reported as having been perperaled
on our cOntrymen resident OIL the
island. According TO dispatches
Just received, and which has been
confirmed by official dispatches re-
ceived at The Stale Department
by the American Consul ut
Samoa, the United States flag has
been shot at, torn down anc de-
slrnyed by The officers and sailors
of The German-men-pl-war in port.
Inoifensive American citizens have
been arrested in The harboT at Apia,
detained as prisoners on board the
German cruisers and subjected TO
brutal treat ment and great indIg-
mites. The residence OF The United
States Marshal at ADia has been
forcibly entered by a detachment
OF sailors from the German crui-
sers, and both the master of the
house and his brother badly wound
ed by the aggressors in the attempt
to repel them. Moreover, other
houses belonging to American citi-
zens and under The protection of
The Stars and Stripes have been
burned and destroyed by Kaiser
Wilhelm's war ships.
The protest of the United States
Consul and of the commander of
the American cruiser in port have
been treated with the most marked
dIscourtesy and Illuminating con-
Tempt by The local representatives
OF Prince Bismarck, and, in the
words of Consul Blackiord, "the
lives and property OF the Ameri-
can residents in Samoa are in great
peril"

WHAT BECAME or d LIE.
BY MRS, M. A. KIDDER-


First, somebody told it,
Then the room wouldn't hold it
So the busy tongues rolled it
Till they got it outside;
When the crowd came across it
And never once lost it,
But tossed it and tossed it.
TIL it grew long and wide.
From very small lie, sir,
1t grew deep aud high, slr,
Till it reached to the sky, sir,
And frightened the moon;
For she hid her sweet face, sir,
In veil of cloud-lace, sir,
At the dreadful disgrace, sir,
That happened at noon.
This lie brought forth others,
Dark sisters and brothers,
And fathers and mothers
A terrible crew
And while headlong they hurried,
The people they flurred,
And troubled and worried,
As lies always do.
And so, cvil-boded,
This nonstrous LIE goaded.
Till at last it exploded
In smoke and in shame;
When from mud and from mire
The pieces few higher,
And hit the sad liar,
And killed bis good name!
