Shut the Door Between Them.

A man well known as lover of peace,
was once asked how to manage to keep
out of quarrels. by letting the angry
person have the quarrel all to himself, "
was the reply. The man and his wife in
the following instance was equally wise:
A missionary in Africa was once visit
ing a man and his wife who were members
in his church. Before Shey became Chris
tians they were always quarreiing; and ne
asked them how they managed to live so
peaceable now. The man answered
Sometimes | say word my wife no like,
or my wife talk or do, what no like but
when we want to quarrel, we shake hands
together, shut the door and we soon get
peace.

The Beauty Sleep.

Ify you want to keep your beauty intact
have plenty of sleep. Want of proper rest
will age woman quite as much as anx-
iety. A certain lady high in the social
world makes it rule to stay in bed one
day a week in order to sleep off all feeling
of fatigue. Women who believe in the
beauty sleep, and gets two hours sleep
every night before II, manage to keep
fresh and unwrinkled up to thirty-fve
It's seven hours for a man, eight for wo-
man and nine for fool, according to the
the old saying; but many ambitious wo-
men complain that they have to do with
six hours sleep, as their social and other
duties are so heavy. Women can stand
late hours better than girls. Many women
make it rule to have nap every after
noon.

To Make Pork Profitable.

An authority or swine says: "To make
pork profitable you must have first a good
breed. Berkshire and Poland China are
among the best Where the latter origin
ated, in southern Ohio, pork raising has
been pursued as prohtably as anywhere IN
the United States The farmers have
kept to that breed almost wholly for years
and it has built up many a fine farm.
Make pork of spring pigs, and do not
gorge the young pigs with sour swlll, but
feed milk, peas and oats, roots, whey and
sweet Stops. Use these to Supplant good
clover pasture, ard let corn constitute the
bulk of the rations only when feeding
off, " and You will get the pork at the least

Paris green is Che Standard remedy,
and when thoroughly applied Is always
effective. When applied in solution, a
dessert spoonful of the poison to a pail full
of water is enough Apply in as fine a
spray as you can, and only as often as the
numbers of the insects make it necessary.
The poison has a tendency to settle, which
makes continual stirring important,
otherwise it is likely to be unequaIiy dis
tributed and to injure the foliage in spots.
For this reason many prefer It's diIution
with plaster. Among them is Mr.. E. Car
man, than whom there is no better author

The Harvest Will Justify the Flowing

81 was walking one day in the early
spring along the country road. Just over
the stone fence yonder there was broad
field smooth as a floor and most ex-

eyes had rarely fallen on a sigh SO lovely.
But ripping right through that smooth
and pleasant greenness there was being
dragged plow, and the fresh beauty of
the fair sward was being turned under

brown soil was being turned outward, and
all the fair and radiant scene was being

FARM AND GARDEN.
To HOUSEWIVES.

Good housewives all who daily war

should always be in dustin dust
Should always be industrious
And we, though toiIing busily
Through sunny or through gloomy hours,
Should not neglect our men-our men
Should not neglect our mental powers
We should not use the goods of earth
As mere utilifarians do:
But We should con-should con-shOuld con
Should contemplate earth's beauties, too.
If we have tOiled beyond our strength,
And stolen hours from sleep away.
We should make rest-make rest-make rest
Make restitution While We may.
Now housewife, pray take this advice,
It's wisdom you'n perceive at length,
Don't be foOl-a fool-a fool
y foolish waster of your strength,
It's hard to live without the pale
OF tTue success, and toll alway;
You should get in-aet in-get in

And may they march beneath the ban

WAsHTNGToN. May 25.-The supreme
court rendered al opinion today through
Justice Harlan in the case of Ward Meal
lister against the United States. McAlllster
was removed from office as judge of the
district court of Alaska by President
Cleveland. and claimed his salary from
the time Of removal TO the qualification OF
Dawson. who was confirmed a. his sue
cessor. One question in the case was
whether the Judge of the Alaskan court
came within the provision OF section Ills
r. S authorizing the president to sus-
pend ALI civil officers. Except judges OF
The United STATES The court holds that
the Alaska court is not a court OF the
United States II the constitution sense as
set forth in the third ar icle Of the constl-
tuition. but a territorial court. The fact
that the term of the Alaska Judge
is limited to fo1r years and that
he does not hold Office for life or during
good behavior. the court says, proues 1t Is
not a court Of the United States as the
term is constitutionally used. The court
said the decision in the present case gave
the president complete power over terri
toridl officers. Judgment was therefore
given in favor Of the United States Justice
Field and Justices Gray and Brown
dissented in an opinion in which Justice
Field maintained that the mere viii OF the
president was not sufficient to remove a
Judge of a court created by the United
States and that the constitution dad not
contemplate that a Judge should be
responsible TO any man for continuance
in Office. tsremed TO him that some OF his
brethren overlooked the character OF the
iudirIaI branch IF fbp government when
they made the distinction against tire
courts Of territories. These courts had
similar powers and there was the
same necessity that they should use the
office fearlessly and without fear Of oifeud-
ing any president lest they should be re-
moved, The case Of WingGrd, Justice OF
Washington territorial court, was decided
the same way.

Cut Worms

If those who have been troubled by cut
worms will distribute with bellows, just
about dusk, some pyrethrum powder that
is fresh, and 90 to bed, they will find plen-
Jy of their enemies on their backs, dead
and dying, the following morning, says
the American Florist. One or two appiica-
tians will generally be sufficient and the
effect is remarkable. The writer has tried
helIebore, SCOT, lime and half dozen other
things with no satisfactory result but
pyrethrum is sure if fresh. Catch one of
the worms and drop ever so little of the
powder on its body, watch it for a few
minutes and you will be convinced.

FARM NOTES.

The horse needs succulent food as well
as the COW. A few roots do the horses
great goot.
The time has come when there is scarce
ly any excuse for using scrub sires. Male
animals of all kinds can be purchased
cheap.
When the weather is pleasant, the
horse is better outside than inside the
stable. Let him out TO get the benefit of
the sunshine, the pure air and exercise.
Shear sheep when the weather is warm
and 1t seems likely to remain settled. If
delayed too ong, the wool often begins to
shed off; if clipped too soon, and then ex-
posed to cold rains, the sheep are likely to
take cold.
