It was a right manly and heroic
act in President Harrison to refuse
the glass of wineo ffered him publicly
during the Civic Parade of the Wash.
ington Centennial from the "movine
tableau" representing the wine indus
try. The fact that it was American
wine, offered in the name of a great
American industry, on the occasion o1
a great national industrial celebrations
that Mr., Harrison was taken entirely
unawares; that he was in the presence
of literally tens of thousands of peo,
pie who had no sympathy with total
abstinence, but who hold such ''Pur-
itanical principles" in contempt
that to refuse was an open insult to
the wine industry-all these circum-
stances contributed to the grandeur
of the act. Whether it was a pre-
meditated attempt of the liquor in
terest to commit the President on
their side, or spontaneous idea Of
the half-drunken crowd in charge OF
the float to do him a courtesy, is
uncertain. In either case it was @
humiliating failure for the liquor Gin
dustry." It was trying situation for
the President, and we take pleasure
in recognizing his courage.-New

killing Canada rhi.tles.

Joseph Harris says: The old fashioned
summer fallow was an excellent method
of killing thistles, but we have outgrown
1t. Our farmers prefer to Use phosphates
and grow crop Of oats or barley or
other spring Gown crops instead Of let.
ting the land lie fallow. In this way
they are probably right, but this con-
slant cropping creates necessity for
better cultivation. We plant corn or
otatoes and give them sufficient cultivar
ton between tho rows to hold the thistles
in check. The shade from tho corn also
dwarfs the thistles, but does not kill the
roots. The next spring, tho land is
plowed and sown to oats or barley,
and as soon as the crop Is harvested tho
land Is again plowed and sown, tho first
of September, to winter wheat. Grass
seed Ii sown with the wheat in the fall,
and with clover seed on the surface the
following spring. Tho clover is mown
for hay and afterwards for seed, and the
next year Is sometimes plowed up again
or IL allowed to remain another year
either for pasture or for timothy nay.
Probably no better rotation Of crops can
be adopted in the winter wheat growing
sections. But great care must be exer-
cised to kill thistles and other weeds, or
the thistlcs, especially, will overrun our
farms. Fall plowing after tho corn or
potatoes or beans arc removed and thor
ough and repeated plowing after the
oats and barley nre harvested are tho
true methods OF killing thistles.

Preferences and Treasures.

iFrom Chambers Journai.l
I'd rather drink cold water from the brook,
Team quaff excitement from a golden
chalce;
I'd rather sleep ON straw in shepherds hut
Than lie awake and restless In palace.
I'd rather earn dry bread In lusty health,
And eat Il with sense Of wholesome
pleasure.
Than feed without the zest Of appetite
OF gorgeous plate and unavailing treas
ure.
I'd rather have one true, unfailiug friend
Than fifty parasites to crave my bounty;
And one poor lass who loved mo for myself
Than one without heart who owned a
county,
Nature is kind If our desires are pure,
And strews rich blessings everywhere
around us;
While fortune, II we pant In her pursuit,
Too often grants her favors to confound
US.
Fresh air and sunshine, flowers and health
and love-
These are endowments il we learn to
prize them;
The wise mans treasures, better worth than
gold,
And none but fools and wicked mon de-
spise them.

President CarnOt In the Presence OF O
Multitude Opens the Exposition.
PARIS, May 7.-Twenty-five thous-
and persons visited the exposition
yesterday.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
surrounded by his ministers and many
distinguished guests, President Car
not stood under the great dome of
the exposition building formally to
declare it open. Preliminaries had
been auspicious. The ceremonies at
Versailles the day previous, while
not of the most importance, were dig
nifed and discreet. The military
display, which was inferior to many
I have seen in Paris, was wisely cur
tailed to give visitors an opportunity
to see the charms of the most beau
tiful spot in Europe, where natural
loveliness is not overmatched by it's
historical association in which ro-
nance and tragedy are so strangely
commingled. The speeches by the
president and others were character
lied alike by tact and taste, and the
solitary marring incident (the blank
cartridge discharged by q maudlin
sensatlonalist, who to-day was as
certained to be harmless imbecile
deserving only PITY has already been
forgotten. Everywhere the demon
strations were unqualified. If dis
content prevailed it remained away
from Versailles and has up to this
time uttered no sound and gives no
sign. The talismanic spell OF thrift
soothes whatever of political rancor
may have vent under other circum-
stances.

Queer and Serious Things Done In Q
Twinkling by the subtle Fluid.

Queer and Serious Things Done In .
rwinkiing by the subtle Fluid.
James Craig, a Scottish servant en-
ploy.d by Elias Rogers, a carpenter,
who resides at Allentown, N. j., was
the victim of a queer prank Of light
ming a few years ago. He vas sitting
in the kitchen broiling a piece Of meat
over the fire, and a fierce thunder
storm was raging without. A Hash OF
lightning struck the house and the
electric current ran down the CHIN
uey, knocked Craig senseless, and
threw the meat and spider into an
other room.
Craig was given up for dead, but in
an hour came TO and stated that he
bad not been insensible since the sec
ond when the shock occurred, but had
been unable to move a muscle, al
though he had heard everything that
vas going on about him. His left side
was badly burned and one OF his shoes
was torn from his foot and found
nearly twenty feet from where he sat
when the house was struck.
Two peculiar cases Of death by cleo.
tricity occurred in Asbury Park a few
years ago, and the story is oft told
there. james Young and Henry
Brooke, two house painters, were at
work on the exterior of a cottage on
Wesley lake when a terrific thunder
storm came up They fled TO the in
terror of the house, and after the storm
had passed and the sun was again shin
ing they went back TO their scatIold.
Just as each painter touched his
brush to tie wet woodwork a flash OF
lightning came, followed quickly by
a crash Of thunder, and a workman in
. nearby house saw both OF thcm fall.
Shortly afterward it was discovered
hat both men were dead, although
their bodies bore no marks, save duh
black lines about the fingers which
held the brushes.
One day a G.year-old child in a Con
nrcticGt town was playing IN the gar
ret during "A severe thunder storm.

\ queer experience befcll Miss Jen.
ME Button, Of Springfield, Mass,
when a residence or Florida street
was struck by lightning. Miss Button
was standing in her room with a hat
in her hand when the current shattcr
ed the door frame. within a few feet
of her. The shock knocked her down,
and for some time afterward she was
deafin consequence. An examination
of the hat showed thatihe lightning had
skeletonized the feather on her hat
completely.

her hand. and the shock drove the
knife through one Of her fingers, cut
