Upon civil service reform, it says
the church does not undertake the
warfare of the partisan, but it would
leave an important duty undone if it
did not exercise care for the poiti-
cal as well as the ecclesiastical well
fare of the State. IL has come to pass
that in the heat of party struggle the
standards of political morality have
been sensibly lowered, but purity and
integrity in the administration of pub
lie affairs are strenuously demanded
by the religion of the church as well
as the patriotism of the land. Official
place should not be won by vulgar
incompetence. 1t is not the barter
price paid for political influence
The honors of office are the legitimate
recompense bestowed upon citizens
who have served their State, and

Touching the industrial issue the
letter says: 1t is painfully evident
that the existing industrial system is
not what it should be, as the despair

closes with passionate exhortation
for the unity and loyalty of the peo-
pie to the urch.-Free Press.

The National Guard.

The average young man Of to-day
will probably consider the question OF
enlistment from the physical and so,
cial standpoints, or will at least be
largely Influenced and governed by
the physical and social benefits he is
likely to receive from his connection
with the militia. Let us first consid.
err the physical side of the natter
The training received by a young man
while in the State service may not re-
suit in any marked increase of muscu-
lar development, but it will certainly
bring about an erect and graceful car
riage, an ease of handling ones self,
and general Improvement which, al
though not easy to define, is, neverthe-
less, noticeable after a short period
spent in the company and battalion
drills. Add to this regular rifle prac-
tice under competent instructors, and
a thorough knowledge of the bayonet
drill, and no one will be prepared to
deny that the three years soldier
graduate isl much better equipped phys.
ically than when he entered the awk.
ward squad.
Again, to look at the matter from
a higher standpoint, | am strongly of
the opinion that a good soldier has in
him the making of good citizen
He is made early in life to fully un-
derstand the value of discipline as the
means to an end, and the promp ODE
dience to orders from those who rank
above him. This principle is of equal
value in the business world, whether
one is employed in a subordinate ca
pacity, or is enabled by virtue of a
higher position to "speak as one hav-
ing authority" Those who are best
fitted to control the movements of 9TH
ers are the men who have themselves
always been amenable to discipline.
To occupy still higher plane, and
one that shall enable us to take still
wider view, let us consider the subject
as it has patriotic bearing. / think
that young man who has served his
time as one of the National Guard
must of necessity be a patriot. i am
sure that you will allow me to repeat
with emphasis what consider to be a
truth. 1t does not seem to me posi-.
BILE that the lessons of term of en-
listment can ever be wholly unlearned.
The higher duties of citizen and
patriot cannot be learned from the
study of manuals upon military tao
tic, but we are constantly being
taught and shown how the faithful
performance of the duties now allotted
to us is to bring about our promotion
in the days that are to come. The
old flags stars are growing in plumber
and brightness we are the young
men to whom is confded the sacred
duty of preserving, honoring and up.

The Queen of Portugal.

The most dressy royal lady in Europe
Is the Queen of Portugal. She orders
not only bonnets and hats, but dresses
as we'll, by the wholesale. Her pale
complexion and auburn hair permit of
her wearing any color or shape in the
way of headgear that she may fancy.
l have made her immense hats, and
small toques, and capote bonnets in
straw, or gauze, or fur, or velvet. or
gold embroidery, with trimmings of
ostrich plumes. or of artificial flowers,
or of brocaded ribbons. Whatever may
be the fashion of the hour she likes it
and will try it. She orders toilets and
bonnets, not by the score, but by the
hundreds. 1t is almost impossible that
she should ever wear out half the ele-
giant things which she purchases.
Withal, she has exquisite taste in dress,
and perfectly understands the art of
suiting the accessories of each of her
dresses to the dress itself. And she
sets off toilet by the singular grace of
her carriage and the regal dignity Of
her movements. Even under the sim
plest conditions of everyday life she
looks ''every inch a queen "--Galig-
nani's Messenger.

Stranger Than Fiction.

A retired clergyman, the sands Of
whose life have nearly run ont, writes
to us as follows: I'm the year 1879
was pastor of a church in Herk;mer.
One Sabbath, having made a call upon a
parishioner who was very i'll, l was de-
tanned in my preparation for the morn
ing service. and just as the second bell
was ringing a collar button. which I
was endeavoring to force through
new three ply linen collar, exceedingly
stiff and with rather a small button
hole, slipped from my fingers and fell
to the floor: Casting my eyes in the
direction which it would naturally take,
l saw the button lying in plain view
close to my foot, just where expected
to see it. picked it up, fastened my
collar with little or no trouble, and
leisurely walking to the church ar
rived there in ample time, not in the
least excited or hurried. and conducted
the service as usual" THE bearings
of this observation lays in the applica
ton of it. Brooklyn Eagle.

of Concords and Perkins yielded less

due to Prof. c. V. Riley, of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture for his sue
cessful tests of remedies for this great
scourge.
Colonel A. w. Person, of Vineland,
N. j.. has also made thorough tests OF
the Bordeaux mixture, in connection
with the Department at Washington.
While the results are not uniformly de-
cisive, in proving this mixture effect.
i've in the prevention of black rot, il
has proved to be certain remedy for
mildew of the leaf.
AS it is necessary to apply the mix
ture early in the season, it may he
timely to now describe it:
The Bordeaux mixture, as recon-
mended by Colonel Pierson after many
successful tests, is made as follows:
Stake and dissolve four pounds of fresh
lime in two or three gallons of hot
water, and strain it, making milk OF
lime. Dissolve six pounds of sulphate
Of copper in three gallons of hot water,
mix the two solutions, and add water
to make twenty-five gallons. Stir the
mixture we'll before applying as aspray
to tho foliage and fruit. It is to be ap-
piled to the entire vine about ten days
before the blossoms appear, and every
three weeks until the fruit begins to
color. Any kind of force pump is sutti-
Gent. am using pump costing about
81, and the improved cyclone nozzle
which throws spray as fine as a thick
fog. During hot and wet period the
mildew may suddenly develop, but a
thorough application to fruit and fol-
iage at once destroy it.
For vineyards a larger force pump is
used and the mixture is thrown direct
from the barrels which are placed on a
wagon and driven through the field.
The same apparatus is used to throw
London purple on fruit trees.
The Responsiveness of the mixture,
and the ease and speed of application,
commend this remedy to all growers o,
grapes whose vines suffer from mildew.

LIFE IN MADRID.
The Spanish Capitals Prado and Its Seduc.

The Spanish Capitals Pra1o and Its Seduc-
tive Attractions.
Although the French fashionable
bonnets are gradually invading Spain
and becoming much in vogue among
the Spanish bellies, the elegant national
costume, the mantilla, is still FREEDOM
mating. 1t is worn and arranged with
a natural grace which enchants the be-
holder. A Spanish lady seems always
to have some little matter to adjust
which sets off to advantage the quiet
elegance of her department. The man.
tilla is drawn Il little more forward or
gently moved a little less; it is crossed
in front or uncrossed, and through it's
transparent network of blonde lace are
seen the lovely head and beautiful
throat rising from bust of most ele.
gait contour. These mantillas are both
white and black, but the latter arc, to
my taste, the most becoming.
And the abanico! the fan! q, what
magic there is in that little zephyr
coaxing telegraph! Folded and un-
folded with a careless ease which none
but Spanish women can display, moved
quickly in recognition of a passing
friend, elevated, opened over the head
to frame it, 50 to speak, tho fan plays
an important and most attractive part
in the hand of a Spanish lady. During
the delightful summer nights, when
the moon sheds her pure light around,
the Prado presents the most romantic
picture. Canopied by the blue vault
of heaven, with all its bright spangles,
many love tale is there told and
listened to with favor. In the Prado
is assembled nightly the cream of the
society of Madrid, and it may be- said
with truth that there is sociability
on this beautiful promenade that does
not exist in places of analogous resorts
in larger metropolitan cities. Indi-
viduals and families are known to each
other, there is a succession of saluta-
tions and greetings, and to a looker-on
it seems as if the promenaders were
vast lines of family or friendly connec-
tons. The botanical and public gar
dens, called ''las delicias,' which ad-
join the Prado, add greatly to the
beauty of this lovely promenade.
The royal palace, which is one of the
most magnificent castles in Europe,
rises dazzling white against the sky on
the opposite side of the city to a height
of 100 feet. It is built on the site of
the ancient Moorish Alcazar and occu-
pies an area of 221, 900 square feet

DOCKING HORSES.
A Cruelty Which Should Be FrOwne.

A Cruelty Which Should BE FrOwne.
Down by Humane Persons.
People from other parts of the coun-
try who visited New York year or
two ago were surprised to see that the
fashion of docking horses had been re-
vived there. Half the carriage horses
in the Central Park had been deprived
of the greater part of their tails. In
stead of the luxuriant and beautiful
appendage which nature gives, the
animals exhibited a horsehair brush,
short, abrupt, ugly and useless.
This fashion has not proved to be a
mere passing fancy of 1.-The British
dudes," but now appears to have be-
come fixed, and is spreading over the
country. and there is reason to fear
that the entire class of people who live
but to differ from the mass of their
fellow-citizens will not be able to re-
spect themselves this summer while
riding behind long-tailed horses.
The spirit of fashion works in two
ways: 1t makes some of us aspire to
be both like and unlike our fellow
mortals. The victims of this mania
wish to be obviously unlike the mass,
and conspicuously like class. Chinese
parents torture their girls for five
years, converting their pretty feet into
hideous little Jumps of bone and flesh,
because those Jumps are recognized as
the sign of social rank.
For similar reason the rich shop,
keepers of Gotham cut off their horses
tails. They have been told that the
fashionable people OF Europe think
it = mark of high breeding to be indif-
ferent to the sutferings of the creatures
that serve them.
Several writer's lately have taken the
ground that horses do not much mind
losing their tails, not even in fy-time
it they are protected by MEETINGS.
1t seems folly to reply to such q state
ment. Any one who closely observes
the ways of horses becomes aware that
the swishing of their long tails is tran
QUILTING and pleasant occupation to
them. aside from its utility in driving
away insects. It relieves their minds
and mitigates the monotony of their
existence. The operation Of docking
Is cruel beyond conception.
We should all wish to frown upon
this cruelty to helpless brutes. How
shall We do It? There is, perhaps. no
better way than to act upon the wise
and timely suggestion that all who are
opposed to it shall not merely not dis.
figure their own horses, but shall refuse
to hire docked horses or even ride in an
omnibus, cab, or car drawn BY them

situations peach orchard should be

horticulturist.
When the second crop of clover is
cut place it aside for the use of the pigs
and poultry next winter. It is chopped
fine. scalded, sprinkled with ground
grain and fed literally. 1t will save
food, and both pigs and poultry will
thrive on it. -
Any plant is a weed that is not de-
sired. Two plants of the same kind
should never occupy the space that
should be allowed to one only, as it is
their nature to struggle for the same
kind of food and for supremacy: II
the plants are too thick some of them
should be removed as weeds. The soil
should not support more than it can
feed properly.
The hens should be kept at very
small cost in summer. Instead of feed
ing grain give the hens chopped grass.
Cut it up fine, give them a trough full,
and they will need nothing else if they
are in good condition. Clover is ex-
cellent, and the hens will eat quite s
large quantity in day. The finely
chopped grass is also an elegant food
for young chicks.
