man. Patrick Hanlon, who was killed
by the police in the streets of Yougha,

would De a demonstration of some kind

pressing any such manifestation on the
part Of the people sixty police. under
the command Of Mr.. Henry E. Red
mond, R. NJ, were drafted into the
town. On the last anniversary pro-
clamation was extensively posted
through the town forbiddlng any meet
no or PROCESSION. but on this occasion
q different course was adopted-that of
sending policemen to the house OF the
bandsmen cautioning against taking
part in any demonstration for the pur-
pose above stated. The presence of
this large force Of police was, however,
entirely unnecessary, as no outward
display was at all contemplated, and
consequently did not take place.

4 Remedy for Ants.

A recent bulletin of the Michigan Ex-
perimental station says that bi-sulphide
of carbon has been tried for ants with
marked success. To use this, says the
report, We have t. find the ant hills or
mounds, which harbor the ants. This is
rarely ever difficult. We now use crow
bar, with which we make a hole in the
center of the mound, which should reach
down to the level of the lowest gallery of
the ants nest. We turn in about half a
gill of bi-sulphide of carbon after that
we Immediately throw on shovelful of
clay which should at once be mpletely
trodden down. This holds the liquid in
the nest and its very volatile nature, to-
gether with its poisonous fumes soon de-
stroys the last ant of the pest. A nest
has been utterly destroyed by one appli-
cation. Sometimes the remedy would
have TO be repeated to become perfeotl
effective.

duoes from 600 to LOO eggs at time.
Next spring will show you myriads of
eggs. In 81 days the eggs hatch. In SO
days the little animals begin to have
motion. In few days they assume the
tadpole form. When 80 days old two
small feet are seen beginning to sprout
near the tail and the head appears separ-
ate from the body. In days after this
thew refuse all vegetable food. Soon
after the animal assumes perfect form.
Next spring $4,000 at 20 cents per dozen
will be my reward-fgure it yoursilf and
see if there is any money in frogs.

to it. All attempts to kesp the crowd
within reasonable grounds proved futile,
and the women as we'll SIS the men
seemed to utterly forget themselves and
TO lose all regard for decency in their
eagerness to obtain view of the bride,
After the ceremony was over the bride
tainted and had to be carried into the
vestry. The confusion caused by the
struggling mass of humanity crowded
into the building was so great that the
anthem, sung by strong choir, could
scarcely be heard above the din. The
fittings of the cathedral were seriously
damaged, ratings being broken, pews
and seats dishgured, the carved wood
work of the pulpit broken, and gas
standards borne down. The organ was
damaged, the curtains were torn down,
and the handsome floral decorations pro-
vided for the occasion almost entirely
disappeared.

SOME WAYS WITH HORSES.
Treatment of H0of-bound Animal.

treatment OF a H00f-b0und Animal
T.. B. Pierce, an observant Ohio farm
er, makes these noteworthy suggestions
concerning horses feet and shoeing in
the New York Tribune: For several years
owned an oldish horse that would al
ways get sore forward as soon as the
roads got dry in May, and sometimes
would seem in misery with his feet for
weeks. One day in Akron I left him to
have a shoe set, and the blacksmith said:
"Your horse is hoOf bound. The black
smith who shod him last either doesn't
know anything about shoeing, or is dis
honest" And then he told me the hind
shoes had been put on forward, l had
been brought up to suppose all horse
shoes alike, and that they could be used
Unfortunately, so it took some little
time to convince me, especially as the
horse shoee [ had employed was in many
respects very intelligent man. Howev
er, / was shown the difference, which, as
1 remember it, was principally in posi-
ton of nail holes and relative length of
shoe. After a little conversation found
he made specially of shooting foUndered
horses, and was also so skilled that he
shod most of the large number of the
very fast horses driven in that city. he
promised to cure my horse in twice shoe
ing, and did 80. He followed out the
hoofs and used slightly concave shoe,
and after few days the horse was better.
Another thing have learned contrary to
old time theory, and that is that shoes
can be put on too tight and stay on too
lohg. One blacksmith know boasts that
his shoes never come off, but wear off.
think my horse was spoiled in this way:
having very tough hoofs his shoes were
not changed often enough.

The Boy and the Flag.


And so, IN order to make the youth of
Pennsylvania good citizens, a flag is to
be placed upon each school house.
Fondly as boy always loves the school
room, he will soon recognize the flag as
something just as necessary to his happi
ness as long grammer lesson. Yes,
whereas he now pants for the school
room rs the heart panteth for the water
brooks, he will soon yearn for the sight
of the flag Tapping. Deeply as he adores
to join in the Lords prayer at opening
exercises, he will soon banker after the
sight of the red, white, and blue. Of
course it will be nothing of lark to
hide the good old flag, or to whack the
ball against it playing candy over" or
surreptitious cut the rope at recess and
let his country's emblem float away over
an adjacent stuble-feid. Oh, no! The
boy will love the flag as he loves the path
to soberity, truth, and virtue. Hereto
fore the flag has been to him the emblem
of all that was exciting, bold, and daring;
now it will become part of the time,
quiet school boy life which a boy just
lives for.

The Most Profitable Crop.

No crop can be said to be the most
profitable until the matter of cost is con-
sidered. Labor is the most expensive
element jf it may be called an elem ent)
that enters into the composition of a
crop and as the climate effects the growth
the labor cannot be estimated in ad-
vance. Sometimes the blessings of a
bo1ntiful shower that cause the Young
plants TO grow rapidly and push ahead,
may also induce weeds to attempt to
crowd out the rightful plants and usurp
their place, which demands great labor
TO eradicate them. Expense, however, is
not feared if the final result is expected
to be an increase of crop compared to
the outlay. Many crops are lost by too
much economy and a failure to apply
plant food at a time when most needed.
If expensive seed, fertilizers and labor
are necessary to the accomplishment of
the object they must be used, for the
surest mode of mourning loss is to deny
the crop the advantages which it
claims.
The soil provides but small portion
of the real value Of q crop. If bushel
of corn takes fertiliZing elements from
the soil to the value of 10 cents and sells
in the open market for so cents the re-
naming 40 cents represents the labor
applied to toe product and the greater
the cost of the labor the higher the price
demanded for the article, and if the price
demanded is not obtained, the farmer
will omit such crop from his list the
next season, as he cannot afford to sell
below the cost. How much of this is
profit is not easily answered. Some farm
ers are satisfied to receive out of the
gross sum the interest on capital, cost of
teams and recOmpense for their own
time. All crops, however, should pay
something more than the cost of produc-
ton, which includes everything; but as
che profit expected depends largely on
the kind of crop and the demand in
market, only such crops should be grown
as are knowa to be always readily sala-
BILE.
That labor on the farm enables the
farmer not only to be repaid for such ex-
pense but also returns profit can be
easily shown by comparison of crops
that demand much labor in their produc-
ton and those that call for but little. A
crop of celery, for instance, is one that
keeps the grower busy, and with extra
help, from the time the seed is planted
until it is finally banked up for bleaching
and as compared with corn it gives a
much larger profit, though requiring
more labor. The work is concentrated
on a small area and the shovel, spade and
hoe must be used to great extent. The
crop, therefore, pays profit on labor as
we'll as on the materials of which it is
composed. While it is proper to eoono-
mize by using labor-saving implements,
vet where the cost of labor is one that in g.
creases the profits it is unwise to omit

FARM AND HOME.
PATIENCE WITH THE LIVING.
CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.

Sweet friend, when thou and are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from neigAbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll. the care,
And done with all the signing,
What tender truth shall we have gained,
Alas! by simply dying?
Then lips too chary of their praise
VIII tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defects discover
Then hands that would not lift a stone
Nhere stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and L
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living.
Today s repreSsed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patlence-e'en when keeneSt edge
May whet a nameleSS sorrow,
tbs easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence thames our clamor,
And easy to discern the beS;
Through memory'S mystic glamor;
But wise it were for thee and me,
Ere love is past fOrgiving,
To take the tender lesson home
Be patient with the living.

a Gladstonian Hair.
Pail Mall Gazette.

A Naples correspondent gives an anec-
dote which, he says, deserves TO become
historical. Sitting exactly behind Mr..
Gladstone in church, 1 saw gray hair
tumble onto the collar of his overcoat.
Hearing once how a lemon squeezed by
the prince of Wales instantly became of
immortal value, it occurred to me that a
hundred years hense this short iron-eray
hair might likewise attain distinction, so
l carefully picked it off and held it be-
tween my thumb and finger. The next
thing was to bring it home and preserve
it, but on they way mot lost it-but
sold it! Meeting an italian deputy of
high position, showed him my trophy;
he got tremendously excited, seized my
hair (the gray one) threw me 5-franc
piece, and bolted."
