THE ANGELUs.

How sweet to US children,
Assembled at school,
To hear the beEl toIIing,
The bell tolling for noon;
Amidst merry shouting,
And joy not unknown,
We are all soon seen going
On our way home.
The Angelus is our friend,
1t rings at morn, it rings at noon;
1t rings at night to 90 to bed,
1t rings in the morn to rise for school
The Angelus is ringing,
And O! SO glad are we,
To hear the bell ringing,
The bell that sets Us free.
With many glanccs and turns,
The tiller of the soil,
Awaits the Angelus' toll
To call him to his ''broil.'
Oh! sweet peace it's to him
For one short hour to rest;
TO him the Angelus' time
Is the very, very best.
Then let US all joyfully sing
A paan for the Angelus;
Tis a joy to hear it ring,
'Tis sweetest music for us.
Tie Angelus is ringing,
And, o. praised let it be;
For, in our sunny school days,
'1is the bell that sets US free.

Formation of Strong Wood.

A knowledge of the strength and dura-
bility of timber as influenced by the con-
ditions under which the same was made
is of great Importance. It would greatly
advance forest tree culture if we only
knew the most suitable conditions for
making the best ash, oak and a score of
other woods. The position trees occupy
in the wild state is not always guide in
making plantations. Because tree
grows upon rocky cliff, it is no reason
why it would not thrive in rich soil. Is
it true that the more quickly wood is
formed the stronger it is? When we look
at the end Of a log it is seen to be made
up of a number Of rings. These rings
are caused by unequal growth during
each season. A comparatively porous
layer is made during the rapid growth Of
early summer, followed by more dense
portion later in the season. It would
seem that the more rapid the growth,
other things being equal, the more por-
Gus would be the product.

For the veil, take strip of mosquito
bar wide enough to reach from the base
Of the crown on the outside Of the hat
to the arm pits, and long enough to fit
loosely around the shoulders, with the
exception of about twelve inches, which
is Of the finest black bobinet lace. Join
the ends. Turn in one edge and gather on
to the base Of the crown. Face the other
edge with strip of cotton cloth, fitting
the shoulders tightly. At the back Of
the arm, attach a strap which passes I'M
der the arm and buttons on to the band
in front If necessary, run into the hand
cord to tighten, as the occasion may
require. The black bobinet is less try
ing to the eyes than anything else, and is
almost no obstruction to the sight. If
properly made there is no falling in on
the neck and no rubbing of the nose and
chin, yet perfect freedom of movement
to the head.

DRAGON FLY, ADULT, AND LARvE.
DEVILS darning needles, snake feeders,
mosquito hawks and various other
names. The English sometimes term
them horse stingers, and the Scotch fly
ing adders. The French speak of them
as demoiselles or ladies, while the Ger
mans have called them virgins of the
water" These flies undergo certain
changes during their life. The adults
deposit eggs usually just beneath the
surface of the water on some reed or
rubbish. These eggs soon hatch into
small larve, which live in the water,
preying upon other animals, and gradu-
ally growing in size.
When one Of these dragon fly Larvae
becomes a pupa it remains active and
does not differ much from it's larval form,
moving about as vigorously as before.
In a short time after it has become
pupa, however, it ascends some reed or
ledge until it is above the water level,
and it's skin splits along the back, the
adult dragon fly crawls out, suns itself
as It's wings expand and finally flies away.
These dragon flies rank high among
the classes of beneficial insects. Both in
their young and adult stages they de-
stroy large numbers Of mosquitoes and
similar pests, and they doubtless render
much more service to man than they are
generally given credit for, according to
Popular Gardening, authority for the
foregoing.

Common Sense Bee Hives.

An apiarian III Florida Dispatch re-
marks upon bee hivesas follows: 1t is Il
fact well known to bee keepers that
other things being equal-bees will do as
well in section Of hollow log, nail
key, barrel, straw clamp, etc, as in any
patent arrangement ever invented, the
difficulty being that one cannot properly
handle them in such receptacles to make
them profitable; therefore, the simplest
and least expensive hives are the best.
Let them be we'll made Of seasoned wood,
and receive two coats Of good paint out
side. Have all the hives in your apiary
of exactly one size, so that the frames
may be interchangeable. Just here l
will say that would not give a nickel
for any patent arrangement for bee hives
ever invented.

A Horse on a Surgeons Table.

A novel operation in veterinary sur
gerry was performed at Cincinnati, O.,
recently, by DR.. L. A. Anderson,
Strapped to an operating table 16-hand
draught horse, weighing 1900 pounds,
was operated on successfully for SPAWN
by cutting tendon that covered bony
tumor.
An interesting feature of the opera.
ton was the table and it's appliances by
which this large, powerful horse was sc
secured that during the operation, which
lasted only eight minutes, the animal
moved not Il hairs breadth. The table
is made of solid oak, and rests on a stout
platform about two feet high. BY
means of a crank operating on cogs the
table on which the animal lies is made
to move slowly upward and downward.
In other words, the horse, led alongside
of the table in an upright position, is Sc

curely fastened to it, and then the horse
and table lowered until the animal is
lying securely fastened. Previous to
the operation the SPAWN on the right
hind foot caused such pain that the
horse tried hard to go on three feet. A
hood made Of padded canvas was placed
over the animals head, completely blind
ing it's sight.
The animal was then led alongside of
the table in an upright position, and a
stout inch rope fastened to the front Of
the table was held around the animals
legs by an attendant. The three four
inch wide surcingles were then strapped
securely, tying the animal alongside of
the table. The head WAS then fastened
to the table, and the crank turned and
the table slowly lowered to a horizontal
position The animal at first struggled,
but once upon the table lay quietly on
it's right side. Then the feet were Sc
curely fastened with stout straps to the
table, the additional precaution being
used of tying the left hind foot with an
inch rope.
Everything was now ready for the OPP
Grafton, which is known as cuneon
tenotomy, and was first proposed by the
veterinary, Professor Lafosse, to abolish
lameness arising from bone SPAWN. 1t
consists in division of the internal or
cuneon branch Of the tendon of the
fexor metatarsi. The tendon that gave
the trouble is a stout one, d branch Of
another tendon. It starts from the an
terror portion Of the hook and runs
across diagonally downward to where
the curb generally occurs.

having been unstrapped, and as his feet
touched the ground the girths that
bound the animal to the table simultane-
ously loosed, and the horse stood on
it's feet. The hood was removed and the
animal led to a stall, li1nping a little.
In five minutes it was eating hay as
contented as if nothing had happened.
In an hour the animal was led for short
walk up and down the alley, and the i'm
provement was apparent. This was the
first successful operation Of the kind
ever made, according to The Cincinnati
Enquirer, from which the foregoing cuts
and description are ii reprint.

The doctor first made an incision an
inch long, and a probe pointed instru-
ment was inserted and the tendon raised
and cut, which gave instant relief. The
tendon lay in groove and was readily
found. The blood was then sponged off
with cold water, and two or three stitches
taken with silk sutures and tied. There
was bony tumor found growing under
the tendon, making the tension on the
tendon so great. that the animal could
not put its foot to the ground

three years' trial, that milk inspectors really
inspect. The president of the health board
of that city reports that the quality of the
milk sold in 1889 improved 46 per cent. over
that of 1887. The amount of milk brought
into the city increased from 1926, ,52S. 400
quarts in 1887 to 24s. .947 $50 In 1889. and Of
cream from 4, ,4s7, $40 quarts to 5.43e, $50.

Life insurance companies are hard to beat
unless you die, but physician, DR.. Slocum,
Of San Antonio, Texas, has just gone to the
grave with the distinction of having got the
better of smart life insurance company.
Twenty-Five years ago, while prsctioing med
icine in Chicago, he was given up by the doc
tors as hopeless coasumptive. An insurance
company in which he carried a SIC, 900 policy,
believing that unless it compromise it would
soon be called on to pay the claim to his be-
reaved family, offered to give him $4,000 In
cash If he would call 1t quits. The doctor
accepted the Offer, went down south, invested
the money proftably and after twenty-five
years has died-not of CO nsumption, but of
cancer Of the stomach.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Again we have come to the day of remem-
branoe and of flowers. It is day which
grows more and more interesting and signifi-
can't. At first, when the grief of thousands
who took part in its ceremonies was still
sharp the day had a decidedly mournful
character. And even now il brings fresh
pang to many faithful hearts. But the
majority of those who now observe the day
feel Il to be a day of honor and
of patriotism rather than of mourn
ing for the dead who earned undylng
fame by dying for their country. In some
respects 1t Is the most impressive and best
observed holiday we have. 1t is useful to
teach duty and patriotism. II is we'll to be
specially reminded once year that the
Union was saved. Il is well to stop and
think how it was saved. II Is well to hold
in lasting honor and remembrance those who
saved It. On this day the old may have
their faith in the republic renewed and
strengthened and the young learn to have
faith in Is and in high ideals of living and
dying. Long live Memorial Day.
