the whole operation can be more expe-

looks badly with locks or punches of
wool ready to fall from it, and an ex-
cessive amount of Irvine makes troubls
with the dealer. In nearly all neigh
borhoods there is some one who is an
expert in wool tying, and is usually en-
ployed by the inexperienced. 1t always

cHILDHOOD'S BLESSING.
A Bit of Heaven in the Midst of Rough
Earthliness.


Earthliness.
Blessed be childhood. which brings
down something of Heaven into the
midst of our rough earthliness. These
eighty thousand daily births, Of which
statistics tell us. represent as it were
an effusion of innocence and freshness,
struggling not only against the death
of the race, but against human cor
ruption and the universal gangrene Of
sin. All the good and wholesome feel
ing which is intertwined with child
hood and the cradle is one of the Sc
crets of the providential government
of the world. Suppress this life-giv-
ing dew and human society would be
scorched and devastated by selfish pas
sion. Surprising that humanity had
been composed of a thousand millions
of immortal beings, whose number
could neither increase nor diminish,
where should we be. and what should
we be! A thousand times more learned,
no doubt. but a thousand times more
evil. There would have been a vast
accumulation of science, but all the
virtues engendered by suffering and
is to say by the family
and society-would have no existence.
And for this there would be no COM
pensation. Blessed be childhood for
the good that it does. and for the good
which it brings about carelessly and
unconsciously. by simply making us
love it and letting itself be loved.
What little of paradise We see still on
earth is due to its presence among US.
Without fatherhood. without mother
hood l think that love itself would not
be enough to prevent men from de-
vouring each other-men. that is to
say, such as human passions have
made them. The angels have no need
of birth and death as foundations for
their life, because their life is heaven.

FARMERS, TELEGRAPH.

How Some Enterprising Mlchigandses
Make Rural Life Interesting.
We have something here in Lenawee
County. with which farmers generally
are not familiar. 1t is farmers tele-
graph line; not one of them. but three.
The one known as the commercial tele-
graph line is the oldest and longest. 1t
is organized under State charter and
runs through Holloway, Tecumseh.
Clinton and to Adrian, and together
with its looping back and forth to farm
ers' houses contains about seventy
five miles of wire. The line goes into
about seventy.five different dwellings.
stores and post-offices where the farm
ers do most of their trading. 1t also
runs into three depOts in the county;
two central telephone offices. and
number Of doctors offices. On the line
are about LIS operators. The line has
been built and is owned by the farmers
who have the use of it. The line is I'M
der the care of manager elected at
the annual meetings of the stockhold-
ers. and money for keeping their line
in repair is raised by tax on the
shares owned by the stockholders The
expense of building was light and the
tax has never been over two dollars a
year for each instrument There are
from one to four operators in every
house. consisting mostly of the youn-
ger members of the family, even the
children taking hold of it and becom-
ing expert in a short time. 1t is easy
to learn, all except old people getting
so they can use it in few weeks.
Farmers. you do not know, neither
can you imagine what it is worth to be
connected with your neighbors and the
towns in your county by means of tel
egraph wire. You probably think you
would rather have the telephone, but
that is a mistake. With the telephone
you know little what is going on around
you, but with telegraph you have all
that is said. and it brings the farmers
around ones hearth-stone as it were.
If / were to name uses TO which the
line is put it would fill column II its
true worth could be understood every
farmer in this broad land would have
one. 1t is. to those who have it, like
the binder, the clock, or the sewing
machine. They wonder how any one
ever got along without it. You may
think am putting this pretty strong.
but those along our line would part
with their clocks or their self binders
quite as quick as they now would with
the telegraph. There are two other
lines running through Tecumseh; one
known as the Ridgeway and Britton.
and the other as the Macon line. All
three lines are growing very fast. and
it will not be long before this whole
county will be network OF wires con-

MILITARY COURTESY.
Queer Ideas OF Warfare Among the Maori
of New Zealand.

Queer Ideas OF Warfare Among the Maoris
of New Zealand.
1t seems hardly credible to US, who be-
lieve every thing to be fair in war, that
such half savages as the Maoris. of New
Zealand. should observe courtesies to-
ward their enemies that put US to the
blush. While they were at war with
the English they invariably sent no.
tice when they were going to make an
attack, as if they were coming on a
friendly visit and desired things to be
ready for them. They thought it very
strange that the English did not give
them similar notice.
Sometimes two villages would get up
a war with each other, and after fight
ing like tigers all day they would come
out of their little forts toward evening
and talk over the days sport in the
most friendly way. The next morning
they would begin again, to keep it up
during the daytime and meet in the
evening as before, in sort OF social
reunion.
An old missionary tells how. in one
of these little wars, the occupants of a
fort sent word to their assailants that
they were short of provisions. and the
attacking party Immediately sent in a
fresh supply. One Sunday he held di-
vine service in spot between two hos
tile forts, and the warrior from each
fort came out to attend. and on Monday
morning they went to fighting again as
lively as ever.-Philade,phia Presa

Wood Ashes for Orchards.

No more profitable use of ashes can
be made than in apple or other fruit
orchards. 1t is estimated that every
bushel of hardwood ashes is worth at
least twenty-fve cents, as they contain
slick. phosphate and carbonate of lime.
nagnesia, oxides OF iron and manga
nese, and variable proportions OF pot
ash and soda Most of the alkaline
matter is in the state of a carbonate.
while smaller proportion Of it is COM
bined with the slick. On account of
the scarcity of wood ashes in many Sec
tions to supply the demand they are
brought from long distance, involv-
ing heavy expense for transportation.
and the quality is often inferior. A
mixture of ~ pounds of lime, 16 pounds
of soda ash and II pounds of fine ground
phosphate rock is equally as good as
wood ashes to use on the land, and acts
in a similar manner. besides costing
less Wood ashes of a good quality
are not to be had in sufficient quantity.
