WISE WORDS.

Wealth nor power can ennoble the
mean.
No thoroughly occupied man was ever
yet very miserable.
Quarrels would never last long if the
trouble was only on one side.
Our greatest glory is not in never fall
ing, but rising every time we fall
1t is one proof of good education and
of true refinement of feeling to respect
antiquity.
Cheerfulness keeps up kind of day
light in the mind, filling it with steady
and perpetual serenity.
There are no persons more solicitous
about the preservation of rank than those
who have no rank at all.
Pride, like the magnet, constantly
points to one object, self; but unlike the
magnet, it has no attractive pole, but at
all points repels.
Believe nothing against another button
good authority; nor report what may hurt
another, unless it be greater hurt to an
other TO conceal it,
The greater man is in power above
others, the more he ought to excel them
in virture. None ought to govern who
is not better than the governed.
To think well of every other mans
condition, and to dislike our own, is one
of the misfortunes of human nature.
Pleased with each others lot, our OWL
we hate.
However good you may be, you have
faults; however dull you may be, you can
find out what some of them are; and
however slight they may be, you had
better make some-not too painful, but
patient-efforts to get quit of them.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Watch the colts feet and thus prevent
misshaped feet.
To be sure wool is kept free from dirt,
better sack the feeces as soon as sheared,
even though you are not ready to sell.
Size alone does not make a desirable
horse to breed to, for draft horse COW
cred with blemishes is not wanted by
buyers.
Birds always prefer the open air. They
do not favor remaining indoors, no mat
ter how clean and bright the poultry
house may be.
The poultry house should be built with
a view Of promoting the comfort of the
fowls and keeping them in proper con-
dition for laying.
If cows are not kept up all of the time,
and fed in a stable on succulent foods
bran and meal-then they should have a
regular feeding night and morning.
1t may be set down as a rule that the
more special dairy blood a COW has tho
more certain is she 10 turn her food into
milk solids and not into fat and flesh.
Comfort is essential in the dairy. Thii
must not end entirely in the effort to keel
the cows out Of the cold In summer
they should be kept out of the heat ant
away from lics.
Always assort your eggs. Do not hav,
several colors and sizes together. Pu
the dark eggs in one basket and the ligh
ones in another, and pick out the smal
ones TO be sold separately.

Bechuanaland.

Bechuanaland, South Africa, is the
paradise OF the workingman, says writer
in the F0rtHighdy ReUisS. In the course
Of our soiourn we never saw a beggar or
q starving person. Masons in Bechuana-
land were getting wages of S4 to S5 per
diem, and this with meat at ten cents a
pound. Natives in the coal pits were
getting Sl.25 a day. When we con-
slider that Kaiiir's food, consisting Of
Boer meal pap, costs ten cents a day,
there is a good margin for saving. We
had Baralongs and Basutos working for
us. The former we found clever with
their fingers but very poor in physique,
with a great dissemination for hard work.
The Basutos are a fine race ,magnilicently
proportional and excellent workers,
willing and intelligent. The superiority
Of the Basuto and the Zulu is shown in.
disputably by the fact that from them
are recruited the police and the searchers
Of the diamond fields. Some think il
probable that the native races of South
| Africa came originally frcm the Soutl
/ Sea islands, but be that as il may, il il
certain that Jewish customs obtain aunag
them.

The New Game. "LaMnhalI.n

A game that has found considerable
favor in the West is being introduced this
season to the East with considerable
degree of success. 1t is called lawnball,
and is about half way between tennis and
eroquet, not requiring so much activity
rs the former, and rather more than the
latter. 1t consists of a number of balls,
short, broad-bladed bat, an iron tripod
about three and half feet high, and a
net. The net is spread over the points
Of the tripod and hangs down between
them like big pocket. The game con-
lists in knocking the balls with the bal
into the net from distance, which may
be increased according to the skill
Of the players and the amount Oi
difficulty that it is thought desirable to
lmpart to the sport. An ordinary back
stop net behind the tripod prevents the
overshot balls from going too far, anG
The game readily affords a good deal O
fun in a much more confined space thar

PRUNING SHRUBS.

Shrubs, like trees, are pruned for
different purposes, and no one rule will
apply for all cases. The shade tree re-
quires pruning, but not of the same kind
as the apple tree, which must be pruned
with the view TO making it produce the
best fruit, and a liberal supply of it.
Shrubs are similar to trees in this respect.
Some are pruned for grace and symmetry,
while Others are pruned in order to make
the production of flowers greater. Shrubs
should not be cut back ruthlessly, as
many ungarden-like gardeners do. They
should be sheared off evenly and uni
formally in growing in a border. Grace
and beauty are the two things desired,
and this cannot be obtained any better
than by trimming the sides over off in
symmetrical curve. Single, isolated
plants should be made to assume the ap-
pearanoe of an egg or a perfect sphere
Flowering shrubs should be carefully
pruned. Every branch that is Topped off
is likely 20 carry with it several buds
which would in time present handsome
flowers. II the pruning is done after the
buds are formed the shrubs will attempt
TO repair the loss by throwing out new
shoots, which will bear abundant flowers
the following spring. In this way prun
ing will sometimes encourage strong
growth of Towering wood. In pruning
it is not always advisable to adopt treat
ment that has only one season Of flower
ing in view. The time of Towering i
short, and the general shape and grace o
the shrub should also be had in -yiey
when cutting off the branches, Even il
winter a gracefully-trimRad shrub has
grace and beauty Of It's own. As genera
rule, then, no-shrub should be cut bacl
so as to-impair its vigor or to ruin it
natural outlines. Weak shoots shoul,
only be cut Off, and in such a way as t.
develop the best form Of the Who'll
plant

HOW TO MAKE A COOL CELLAR.

A great mistake is sometimes made in
ventilating cellars and milk houses. The
object Of ventilation is to keep the cellars
cool and dry, but this object often fails
of being accomplished by a single mis-
take, and instead the cellar is made both
warm and damp. A cool place should
never be ventilated unless the air adj
mitted is cooler than the air within, or at
least as cool as that or a very little warmer.
The warmer the air the more moisture it
holds in suspension. Necessarily, the
cooler the air the more the moisture is
condensed and precipitated. When
cool cellar is aired on a warm day, the
entering air being in motion appears cool,
but as it fills the cellar the cooler air with
which it becomes mixed chills il, the
moisture is condensed and dew is de-
posted on the cold walls, and may often
be seen running down them in streams.
Then the cellar is damp and soon becomes
mouldy. To avoid this the windows
should only be opened at night, and late
the last thing before retiring. There
is no need to fear that the night air is un-
healthful; it is as pure. as the air Of mid
day, and really drier. The cool air en-
ters the apartment during the night and
circulates through it. The windows
should be closed before sunrise in the
morning and kept closed and shaded dur
ing the day. If the air in the cellar is
damp it may be thoroughly dried 10y
| placing in it a peck of fresh lime in an
open box. A peck of lime will Absorb
about seven pounds, or more than thre,
quarts Of water, and in this way celia
or milk room may soon be dried even il
the hottest weather.
If cellar has a damp smell and cannot
be thoroughly ventilated a few trays o
charcoal set around on the floor, shelye
and ledges will make the air pure an5

SETTING HENS.

The mother cautioned her son against
rowing by remarking that rolling stones
gather no moss He retorted by saying
"Setting hens never get fat" The
reason for this latter observation is that
they are almost always troubled with
lice. II hen wants to set in the hen
house break her up and allow only
those to set who choose a place en-
tirely by themselves. Then they will
neither give lice TO others nor take it
from them. If n setting hen becomes
lousy the lice will after the clutch is
hatched, attack her chicks and kill them.
Rub the chicks with grease and the lice
will disappear. Oil, not kerosene, is as
good an insectide for lice as any one need
want; but do not put it on setting
hens, as the oil will close the pores in
the eggs and addle them.-Ameyjcda

Emery Dust in His Brain.

The coroner held an inquest the other
afternoon in Pittsburg on the remains of
Robert Virgins, who died at the work
house, where he had been sent two weeks
before by Mayor Pearson for thirty days.
The inquest developed that about a year
ago Wiggins was injured by the explo-
sion Of an emery wheel at Willey's plan
ing mill in Allegheny, Penn, where he
was employed. Fragments of the ex-
ploded wheel fractured Wiggins's skull,
and ever since the accident he has suf-
fered from brain trouble, which was al
ways aggravated by liquor. On the
night of his arrest he had taken a couple
Of drinks and Immediately became wild.
In this condition he was arrested, but the
authorities, not knowing his weakness,
imposed the usual sentence. Wiggius
was seized with commissions on Wednes-
day, from which he died on Thursday
A post mortem of his remains disclosed a
considerable quantity of emery dust that
had entered the brain, and this, the ply
sicians said, caused the fatal convulsions

THE TOMATO As AN 1NsEorrpE.

A Mexican journal gives the following
experience Of a French agriculturist:
Two peach trees of my orchard were
covered with insects, Just as they were
about to flower. Having cut several
tomato vines, the idea occurred to me
to place them around the trunks and
branches Of the peach trees, to shelter
them from the rays Of the sun. What
was my surprise, on the following day,
10 notice that all the insects had dis
appeared, except from the leaves be-
yond the influence Of the tomato plant.
| carefullyseparated these leaves and ap.
piled thetomato 20 them, when the insects
disappeared as il by enchantment, and
from that time the peach trees began to
grow luNuriantly. Wishing to carry the
experiment further, l put some Of the
tomato leaves in water and sprinkled
other plants, such as the rose bush,
orange tree, apple tree, pear tree, ETC.,
with the infusion, which also had the
same.effect Of completely freeing then

Arrow Poison.

II. M. Stanley lost several Of his
followers while travelling on the Lower
Congo from poisoned arrows, and was at
a loss TO know what poison was used by
the natives. The mystery was solved by
finding package OF dried red ants. The
bodies Of these insects were dried, ground
into powder, cooked in palm oil and
smoared on the points of the arrows.
Il is well-known that formic acid ex-
lists in the free state In red ants, rs well
as in stinging nettles, and in several
species Of catorplllars, aud in its pure
state it is so corrosive that it produces
blistcrs on the skin.

year I planted the same fields and others

not trouble me at all. They transmitted
their experience of the previous year. Mr..
Seeley had similar experience, using q
gun, however, instead of strychnine.
Mr.. Chamberlain added the following;
"I think the efficiency of the various
methods of defending our cornfields de-

At discussion at the meeting of tie
Connecticut State Board of Agriculture
on the question, "Can Crows be Prevented
From Pulling Cornf" Mr. Webb said, he
made an agreement with the crows years
ago that if they would not pull his corn
he would feed them. "When 1 sow my
corn for the crows" says he, 81 do not
poison it, but sow it in different parts
of the field. They pick it up and while
so doing they pick up many worms. "
