One of the neatest and most durable

One of the neatest and most durable
fences that can be made is o woven
wire netting. The meshes should be
sufficiently close together to keep out
chickens 2x4 is small enough for all
practical purposes. While the netting
alone will make a very complete fence,
it can be improved by putting Six
inch fencing plank at the bottom, and
stretching the bottom wire just above
this. Care should he taken to stretch
the selvage wire tight, and the staples
well. IT the garden is located where
the fence must keep out horses or cat
tie, it can be made more effective by
stretching barb wire six inches above
the top of either the netting or the pal
ing. Either of these makes q better
garden fence than either plank or rails,
while if the work is carefully done it
will be much more effective.

DR., Lathan's Address.

On our first page we print the excellent ad-
dress which DR.. Latham delivered at Long
Cane la. t Monday. We regard it rs an un-
commonF good document, and one which
will be read with much interest by majority
OF our readers. To members of the Associate
Reformed cnurch 1t is treasure, and should
be preserved by all. When one reads OF the
prosecutions. the bloodshed, and the tyranny
under which our forefathers suffered, we can
but wonder how any one can say that the for
mer days were better than these.

4 BEAUTIFUL ihfE.-iou "0n live
Il beautiful life in the midst Of your
plesent circumstances. When God
put you into them, He meant to see
you through. He had no intention
that you should fail. I know it seems
hard for you at times, but Christ is
with you. You say, "Oh, if had
such a lot in life as this one, or that
one, should be so different" You,
must be yourself, and not some other
one, and your life is to be lived amid
your own peculiar experiences. But
God adapts His help to our circum-
stances. There is text that says,
"Thy shoes shall be iron. That means
that if you have stony paths to walk
over, God is not going to send you
forth with paper-soled slippers on, but
with shoes strong and enduring, equal
to the need of the journey. In simple
words, Christ is just as able to help you
to live truly beautiful life in your Pc
culiar circumstances, as if you were in
the easiest and most sheltered position
possible on earth. And He will, If
you but learn to trust Him.

THE G., C. & N. RAILROAD.
The Broad River Bridge to be Put up
by the goth Of March.

Our contemporary, the Chester Reporter, in
forms us that the last of ten car loads Of the
great iron bridge for Broad River has gone for
ward, and that the bridge will be in position
by tho Goth of March.
The graders between that point and the Sa.
vannah River are busy, pushing the work on
their contracts, and we see in the papers that
the grading contracts beyond the savannah,
have been let TO within twenty miles Of Ath.
ems, Ca, leaving only ninety miles OF contract
yet TO let.
The indications are that this road will be
built, The heavy work on the hills hereaoOut
make II too serious q matter for joke.

Miss Gordon Cumming has drawn
attention to the cleansing effect of Pc
troleum on soilcd clothes. The best
way to employ it is to fill an average
boiler, say OF fourteen gallons, with
water, adding half Il pound of soft
soap, and when all is boiling thorough
ly pour in one and a-half tablespoon
fuls of petroleum. Then put in the
clothes, and boil them for half an hour
before lifting them out and rinsing
them in several waters. A little more
soap, water, and parattine should be
added to make up for loss as successive
lots of the clothes are boiled.

Sour Words.

/. They indicate O sour origin:
They show that the heart is in an acid
state. The hearer of such words can
not but have his own, and not very
complimentary opinion Of the speaker.
2. They make the speaker himself
more sour. Words react upon those
who utter them. AS kind words beget
kindness, and increase the power OF it
in the soul, so sour words increase the
bad temper Of him who uses them.
They add fuel to the fire and augment
the heat. -,
3. Sour words dangerously tend to
make the hearer sour. They create an
atmosphere which he brratllcs, and
the virus is likely to penetrate his soul
and make him sour too. Vinegar
gives its own character to anything it
can reach. So it is not the fault of the
sour in heart and speech that they do
not spoil all the sweetness that there is
about them.
4. Sour words are all but certain to
give sourness 10 the countenance.
The face is tell-tale of the heart, and
the hearts sourness, rising to the lips
in bitter words, has wonderful power
over all the features. Leok OH the
countenance as the owner is using
sharp and bitter words. DO you see,
smiling June, or scowling Novem-
ber?
5. Sour words are not soon forgot
ten. Sharp and piercing, they enter,
like iron, into the soul. AS with
hooks of steel, they hang on to the
memory. All that you can recollect or
some people is the sour words you have
heard them use.
Now, my young friends, if sour
words indicate sour heart, and make
the speaker more sour, and make hear
ers sour, and give sour countenance,
and make ones sourness long and
painfully remembered-there are five
reasons why these words should never
be found upon your lips. Let the last
ones you have used be the last

ton, according as tools to be sharpen

In LAMiStOn'S Interest.

Spokane Review, 10th inst: The first
thing done at the board of trade meet
ing last night was to read the minutes
Of the last meeting in regard to the ex-
tension of the Spokane & Palouse rail
road to Lewiston and Camas Prairie.
The secretary was instructed to write
to Mr.. Cakes, of the Northern Pacific
and use the Spokane board Of trade as a
lever with him. President Taylor also
asked that all members Of the organiza-
ton not only write to our own senators
at Washington, but also any friends Of
senators from other states in order to
try and pass bill granting the railroad
a right-of-way across the Nez Perez
reservation.
Mr.. Furth said that he would write to
both the Nevada senators, Jones and
Stewart.
Mr.. Shaw, who is very familiar with
the section through which the road
would run, stated that along the pro-
posed right-of-way up the Clearwater
there are no Indians living. The reser-
walton, he said, consisted Of about $780,
900 acres, and that the beautiful grain
fields and wheat lands Of Camas prairie
could only be reached by passing
through the Nez Perces reservation.

Millerites Disappointed.

SAN Francisco, April 14.-According
to the prophecy of Mr.. Woodwork,
George Erickson and several other re-
vivalists who created considerable excite
ment in Oakland some time ago, this
was the day on which San Francisco
and Oakland were to be destroyed by an
earthquake and tidal wave, and the
citizens of Chicago and Milwaukee were
to suffer the same calamity. There have
been no indications of any commissions
Of nature here, but the "doomdealers, "
as they have been termed, held their
faith up to the last moment.
Several hundred persons who became
believers in the predictions have been
leaving Oakland for the high ground
during the past week or two, and they
were encamped on the hills near Santa
Rosa and Wacaville holding religious
services and waiting for the news Of the
destruction.

Fearful Forest Fires,

P1EAsANTvILLE, N. J., April 13.-This
afternoon the most destructive forest
fire for the last fifteen years broke out
in the northern part of town. The fire
rapidly spread, and in less than an hour
was over three miles wide and five long.
Detached houses, as well as the whole
town of Pleasantyille, are in danger.
BY 5 o'clock over $4,000 worth of tim
Der had been laid low. Large gangs of
men who attempted to fight the FIRE had
to stand back, owing to theintense heat.
All evening the fire continued to work
its way toward town. At midnight,
from rough estimate, the lass to prop
erty will reach $50, GOO or $4,000. An
hour previous to this time runner ar
rived, who stated that the fire was at its
highest point. Several houses, which
stood back in the pines, have been
burned. For over two hours Pleasant
vile has been lighted up as bright as
dya by the flames. If the fire is not
checked before morning it is feared that
1t will reach town. The roaring flames
can be heard for FIVE miles.

Randall Gone.

WASHINGTON, Ayril 13.-It was sad
and touching scene at the Randall resi-
dence on Capitol hill when Congressman
Samuel J. Randall expired at o'clock
this morning Around the bedside were
gathered the family, the physicians and
Postmaster General Wanamaker, who
had all kept constant watch during
the night.
Randalls illness dates back about five
years, when DR.. Mallan. who attended
him throughout his late illness, was
called to treat him for govt. July 9,
almost two years ago, Randall was sud
denly seized with violent diarrhea and
hemorrhage during the night, due to
hastily eating dish of ice cream and
berries during the day. The hemorrhage
was SO severe as to completely PROSTATE
him, and his life was in imminent dan
ger. DR.. Mallan says that for some
time previous to this, Randall had been
troubled with what he supposed were
hemorrhoids. The diarrheal attack
caused the disease to assume active form,
and it was found that he was suffering
from extensive and malignant assesses.
Randall rallied and grew stronger and
vas getting on fairly well until last
February, when he had a severe rigor,
brought on probably by the weather.
This rigor was accompanied by severe
abdominal pains, and there were symp-
toms Of peritonitis. From this time
exhaustion began to set in, and the sick
mans course was steadily downward.
The sick man lay in the front room,
and the daylight was just beginning to
shed its rays into the sick-room when
Randall opened his eyes, and after speak
ing to his wife once, gradually sank
away.
The remains will be embalmed and
placed in casket. 1t is said that the
dead man presents life-like appearance,
except that he is emaciated and wasted
to a remarkable degree.

Conveyed on a Man-Of- War.

WASHINGTON Cry, April 15.-The
secretary Of the navy this morning
cabled the commander of the United
States steamship, Alliance, at Gibralter,
to wait there until the arrival of United
States Consul Matthews, then sail with
him to his post at Tangiers. 1t seems
that certain diplomatic reasons which
the officials are not willing to disclose
make it desirable that the consul should
make his appearance at Tangiers on a
man-of-war, He is expected to reach
Gibralter to-day.

EIIensburgh's Fire.

EnnENsBURGH, Wash, April IA
fire broke out here at 3 this morning
The Northern Pacific machine shops, in
Guiding the round house, we're totally
DESTROYED. The latter contained several
locomotives, only one Of which was
gotten out. One of the immense ia
ton engines was included in the loss.
The city fire department got to work
promptly, and saved the oilhouse' depot
and other valuable property from des-
truction. Several freight cars and
Hangers were destroyed. The total loss
is 100000, which was covered by the
insurance, the company doing it's own
insurance. The works will be rebuilt
Immediately with double the capacity
of the old ones.
