THE HOT BED.
Directions for Constructing Should BE
Well Located.

Directions for Constructing Should BE
Well Located.
Please give directions for hot bed. I
propose to get information upon this
matter in time this year, writes CORE
spondent to the Western Rural. It is a
good plan to seek information early.
Locate the hot bed where it will be free
from the wind. Give it protection on
the north, if possible. A board fence is
good protection. Build the frame of
boards, the rear foot lower than the
front in order to give the proper start
Construct it so that the sash will not
need to be too large for convenient
handling. When the manure is put
into the frame have it hot and moist
You can construct the hot bed wholly
above ground or partly under ground.
If it is all above ground, however, and
the bed is made very early, you must
bank up with manure on the outside to
the top of the frame. Pack the manure
evenly in the bed. This may be done
by placing boards ON top and slipping
from one to another and moving them
about as may be necessary. If you want
an early bed put in foot and a half of
manure and six inches of soil.
Guard against cold by placing in a
sheltered place, as we have already
directed, by banking up with manure,
and cover the beds at night with mats or
straw. Guard against heat by opening
the beds little when the sun is warm.
A cold frame, we may say in this con-
nection, is the same as hot bed except
the manure. You construct the frame
and cover with sash as you do hot bed,
but the sun furnishes the warmth.

FAST WALKERS.

Quality the Farm Horse Should Possess.
In purchasing or hiring a pillow horse
stake off mile of road. Mount the
horse and see how many minutes it will
take him to walk mile. A horse that
will walk three miles an hour is worth
ut least three times as much as horse
that walks but two miles. The three
mile horse not only does as much work
in two days as the two-mile horse does
in three, but he enables the man behind
the pillow to do fifty per cent more work
in day than he can do behind the two
mile horse. And the man and horse con-
sumo with the slow team fifty per cent.
more rations in doing the same work
than the fast walker does In twelve
months the man would do no more cart
ing and blowing with the slow horse
than he would do in eight months with
the fast walker.
Suppose farmer to hire q man and
two-mile horse to do an amount of p1ow-
ing and carting that it takes three
months to perform, and pays IS month
for the horse, So for his feed, and SIS for
the man, who boards himself; S24 a
month, three months, $72. If he hires
the same man at $1S q month and pays
So for horse feed and 81 for fast
walker, he can do in two months what
the slow team would do in three. Two
months, fast team and feed and plow-
man, at S25 a month, $50. Direct loss
by slow horse, S22. Besides, the work
done by the slow horse is not so we'll or
seasonably done-the seed may be put
in the ground too late, the grass may
get ahead of the pillow, and the indirect
loss by the slow team may be serious,
besides the S22 loss, as stated above

SIXTY YEARS AGO,
A Vermont Church Service in the Early
Part of the Century.

A Vermont Church Service in the Early
Part of the Century.
As soon as the text was given out,
Deacon Bachelor, who was old and
very deaf, rose from his pew, walked
heavily down the aisle, and half as
cended the pulpit steps. Then he ad-
justed an enormous tin ear-trumpet, and
sat there through the long sermon, a
pious attentive, but most grotesque,
figure. The singers seats stretched en-
tirely across the church in front of the
pulpit-two long rows, with a rack Or
desk for hymn books between them.
The men singers sat with their backs to
the pulpit, while the women faced
them. When the leader struck his tun-
ing fork and gave the key, all stood up
and literally bawled and sang in each
others faces. All the old mournful
minor tunes were great favorites, and
the rhymed stories of hell fire, damna-
ton and lost souls gave the greatest
satisfaction to both singers and
parson. Questions of doctrine
were Elder Whiteinch's greatest Joy and
most frequent discussion, and several
times year he preached on the ''un-
pardonable SIM" but we must remember
that he had none of the sins of great
cities to form subjects of sermons and to
preach against-not even that of intern
perance. for the simple reason that it
was then considered sin in no one to
drink strong liquors provided man
stopped short of gross intoxicati ton.
Habitua1 drinkers were all those New
England farmers. In nearly every
household in the winter months little
pewter flagon or tankard filled with
boiling water land with straw-covered
handle to prevent burning the HANDY
was brought in to the farmer at eight
o'clock, the regular bedtime. Then
great pitcher of rum toddy or cider flip
was brewed, and every one, men, women
and children, drank of it, and thus went
warmed to their ice-cold chambers,
where the snow sifted in little drifts on
the floor. No farm hand would work at
blowing and haying without three glasses
of rum day. Even the few workwom-
en- who took their rounds among these
farms-a tailoress, wool-weaver, an In
dian ''squaw nurse''-all demanded, re-
ceived and drank their daily glass of
rum. Bears were not infrequent visit
ors in Vermont in those day, and may
bears tracks and depradations were re-
ported at the Sunday incoming" and
the hunt was planned there as we'll. It
was subsequently carried out in action,
dealing death to the bear, and giving
sufficient reason for the large consump-
ton of New England rum. But the bears
are gone with the forests, and the old
Anclover Church is gone also. A chance
spark from an oil lantern set fire to the
jackson barn. The fire could be i'll
fought with only the bucket from the
old well-sweep and milk pals to carry
water it. So the flames spread and the
high winds blew them across the road
to the old wooden church, and all were
destroyed together, and only cellar
wall and few half-burned bricks mark
the spot where so many dull happy Sun
days were spent. -Congregational Re-

An Old Farmers Invention,

An old farmer in the Granite State
one Sunday morning started to wind up
his great silver watch and found that the
key was filled with dirt. Being unable
to dig the latter out with pin, the
farmer drilled hole in the key and
with a single breath blew all the dust
out. Then he sat down to think and
within a month had patented that hole.
To-day in Lebanon, n. H., there is a
large factory running by electric power
wherein are manufactured daily thou
sands of watch keys of every possible
size, shape and design. Each one of
these keys contains the hole which has
been patented by the farmer. The lat
ter has already made fortune.-Boston

ance, it is not to be looked for. It is

| snce, 1t is not to be looked for. It is
hardly too much to assert that the large
majority of city boys who pass every
summer of their lives in the country do
not know the names of even the more
common trees and plants. They have
| accepted every thing as tree or as a
weed, and there the matter has ended
Is Iaoas they are concerned.
1t is the most obvious Of truisms to
say that this should not be SO. 1t is
safe to assert that did the country lad
who visits the city show SO much indif-
ference in learning the names of the
things he sees he would by his town &C
quaintances be setdown as most incor-
rigible blockhead. 1t is amazing that
the natural curiosity of boys does not
md some vent in this direction. If it
had the slightest encouragement, there
is no doubt that it would do SO. AS it
is, nobody makes any effort to turn the
minds of the boys toward the things
around them, and the result is that they
generally remain blind to the end.
The pleasure which can be obtained
from study, even if it be most casual
one, of natural history is in itself SO
great that one wonders that it should be
so generally neglected. 1t affords a
healthful, elevating pastime, which
broadens the mind and delights at the
same time. 1t is good for the body,
since it keeps the boy out of doors, his
mind interested but tranquil, and his
environment of the sanest and most de-
sirable. 1t trains the observant facul-
ties, enlarges the mental horizon. while
it is in itself one of the most delightful
entertainments, if the boys can once be
interested, as ninety-nine boys out of
hundred can if properly managed and
not forced.
OF course, the great difficulty is that
so few parents are in the least prepared
to help their children, and, as matter
Of fact, there are more Young people who
are by their parents entirely thrown out
of Investigations than are helped in
them. 1t is the natural inclination of
children to be interested in whatever
they see, and they question about nature
until they have been so completely dis
couraged by elders who have not the
ability or the patience to reply, that
they become disheartened and abandon
the whole thing. In many cases ali that
would be necessary for parents to do
would be to be careful not to treat the
questions of children about natural sub
jects as if they were trivial and not
worth consideration. The boys will find
some source of information if they are
given the idea that what they ask is
worth finding out. 1t is the treating of
the whole matter as if it were of no
earthly Importance that does the mis-
chief, and of this how many intelligent
people are guiltY.-BoSton Courier.

A ROYAL HUSBAND.
Gustav Freytag's Recollections of Emper
Frederick Ill.

Gustav Freytae's RecoIlections of Emperor
Frederick III.
On the evening of the 23d of August,
1870, at Ligny, 1 was with the Crown
Prince alone. He lay, fatigued, on his
narrow feld-bed, which he had put up
whenever we were quartered. Before
him on the little writing stood the
photographs of the Crown Princess and
his children, SO that his eye could rest
upon them. He spoke at once of his
dear oAes at home, of the characters of
his children, how each one of them was
developing, of his sorrows for those that
were lost. His eyes moistened, and his
face was TRANSPORTED by love and grief.
His manner was SO warm and pleasing
that it softened the listener, too.
Then he began to speak of his consort
in terms full of tender devotion. He
extoled the wealth of her knowledge
and mental capacity, to which, he said,
he had always to look up, and he la
mented that such a woman was not APP
preciated everywhere. One felt how
happy it made him to speak of her of
whom he was constantly thinking.
Every act of homage, even the smallest,
done to the woman he worshiped was to
him a matter of Importance, for his
devotion and subordination to his
loved wife were absolute. This
love was the highest and hottest
thing in his life, and filled the whole
soul. She was the mistress of his youth,
the corifidant of all his thoughts, his
counselor whenever she was disposed to
give counsel. The laying-out of the
grounds, the adornment of the dwelling,
the education of the children, verdicts
on persons and events-in every thing
he consulted her thoughts and wishes.
When he could not follow her wholly, or
when his Utmost soul contradicted her
demand. he was very unhappy and I'M
easy. She had come to him from amid
greater circumstances; had, with rich
natural gifts. as her fathers favorite
child, drawn her intellectual equipment
from a far wider sphere of educative
material. Through happy years she had
labored with much zeal, and with great
patience. to cultivate in the soul of her
husband the interests she had at heart;
and he felt in his pure and simple breast
that what gained vitality in him was
her work. He felt as if he had first
learned to see, to feel, to recognize the
true, to enjoy the beautiful, through
her. 1t was easy to understand that
such a domination of wife over husband,
over the future ruler of Prussia. threat
ened to produce difficulties and strug-
giles, greater, perhaps, for the wife her
self, who led and elevated him to whom
it is necessity for q woman to look for
guidance

THE LlMEKILN CLUB.
Brother Gardner Deals SummariIy With
an Intoxicated Visitor.

Brother Gardner Deals Summarily With
an Intoxicated Visitor.
Just previous to the opening of the
meeting Prof. Low Pressure Harrington
dashed into Paradise Hall with the
who was hidden in the alley had at
tempted his life as he came along.
Various members rushed out, but the
unknown was gone. The fact that he
had been there was plain enough, how
ever, as large club, into which three
old knife-blades had been driven was
found on the ground. He had struck at
the professor with this, but the latter
had jumped over two barrels and dead
cat and avoided the blow.
The cause of this ATTEMPTED assassina-
ton is doubtless to be found in the fact
that Prof. Harrington enjoys the ma
tional distinction of being able to throw
hat off his head by working his
ears back and forth. Several other
parties are extremely jealous of him be-
cause of this forte, and it is suspected
that the would-be assassin halls from
ST. Louis, and is party named Sunrise
Jackson. He is being vigorously searched
won't have any ears to further practice
with.
In opening the meeting Brother Gard
ner announced that Hon. Snowdrop Sny-
der, of Galveston, was in the ante-room,
and had asked for and obtained permits
sion to deliver his celebrated essay on
1.-THE Progression of the Cocoanut." He
had not only been here for four days and
nights, boarding at the house of the
president free gratis, but would proba bly,
continue to board there unless oppor-
tunity was given him to get this essay
off his mind and small collection taken
up to help him out of town.
The honorable was brought in by the
committee on reception, and at first
glance it was evident that ne was be-
wildered. While waiting in the ante
room he had consumed pint of whisky
which Giveadam Jones had purchased
to take home to rub on his mules
leg, and before he reached the plat
form he sat down on a stool. rolled
his eyes around and appeared helpless
and dazed. Brother Gardner descended
from the platform, smelled of the great
mans breath and then waved him off
with the command:
Remove de prisoner an turn him ober
to de care of Giveadam Jones'"
He was led out, and moment later a
series of bumbs on the back stairs
showed that the honorable was taking
lis leave. The sounds of human body
hopping up the mud in the alley foated
up to the windows on that side and
caused some excitement, but they soon
ceased and the echo of footsteps going
splosh! splosh! indicated that the man
with an essay had headed for home and
