them with unwonted eyes, and with one
glad smile put on immortality.
They led the old man sobbing away, and
when he saw her again the glad sun was
shining, the air was jubiant with the
song of 6irds; and she lay asleep on the
couch under the north wlndow-there he
had seen her so often lie down to rest while
waiting for the Sabbath bell. Aud she
wore the same best black silk and the
strlng of gold beads about her thin neck,
and the folds of white tuile, only now the
brooch with his miniature was wanting,
and in its place was a white rose, and
spray of cedar-she had loved cedar-she
had loved to sing over her work:

But what strange transformation was
there The wrinkles were gone. The
traces of age and pain, and WEAKNESS
were all smoothed out; the face had grown
strangely young, and placid smile was
laid on the pale lips. The old man was
awed by the likeness to the bride of his
youth. He kissed tne unresponsive lips,
and said softly: You've found Heaven
first, Janet, but you'll come for me soon.
It's our first parting in over seventy years,

ExperienceW With Potatoes

In running my eye over a western pa
per / came across statement made by a
correspondent that he had tried fertilizer
under seed potatoes and over them and
every other way and it would never pro-
duce lapger potato nor a smoother one
than the rows each side without any. He
had never found anything except good,
well-rotted barnyard manure that made
potatoes grow any better than to use clover
sod ground. Consequently all the fatigue
be has ever put Oh his potatoes he con-
sidered lost This is so different from my
own experience that / can account for it
only on the theory that his potato ground
did not need any fertilizer for this crop.
Ia my own case | have found the CONNER
cial potatoes manures so much superior for
this crop that | rely on them entirely, and
secure good yields with them from quite
poor soils. For the potato | prefer them
decidedly to stable manure. The tubers
have been fairer and less troubled with
scab ana worms, and have had no rot
The latter ! attribute to deep planting and
the use of early ripening varieties

Care for the Cook StaVR

No cook stove. tn )ugh it is in con tinual
use, should have a fresh coat of backing
applied oftener than once a month, though
every stove should be polished off with a
stove brush every morning before the
cooking begins. When fresh coat of
backing is applied monthly, remove the
old coat by rubbing off the stove while it
is warm, but not hot, with rag dipped
in kerosene OIL This removes all grease
stains. Apply the new coat of blacklng
when the stove is cold, using cold coffee
instead of water for mixing the backing.
Be careful not to bIacken any of the stove
edges, which are Of polished iron, or any
of the knobs and other nickel work, but
polish these by using securing soap or
brick dust for the polished iron and
whiting or any silver soap for the nickel
work. After the stove is thoroughly pol
ished, wipe it off with dry, clean rag to
remove any dust of the backing. After
this polishing, all that is necessary is to
keep a stove cloth at the side of the stove
to wipe up spots Of grease before they are
burned In and make more enduring
stain, and to go over the stove with pol
ishing brush in the morning while the
fire is coming up. Thus with little care
stove may be kept in prime oder, unless
the cook is one of those unhappy Stevens
that spills Or boils over everything she
takes hold Of Cooking which is done in
methodical manner does not spill over on
the stove There is no surer indication of
a household sloven than an ill-kept cook

How to Mate Poultry,

There are all sorts of theories advanced
on this subject. Many of them are ridicu-
lous ones. The old English rule-and
England has much to boast of in her poul-
try-is to put a stout, young and lively
male with twenty-four hens, if the eggs
are merely intended for table use But if
we wish to obtain strong and thriving
chickens, there should not be over six hens
to each male. If the object is to improve
a wornout and degenerate breed. three are
best. But In all cases the male must be in
perfect health. Last year, says the Ger
mantown Telegraph, we tried an expert
ment which proves that the English ides
is correct. We mated a pair of light
Bramas-fve hens and cock-and the
chickens Matched were hardy and gave ex-
cellent results. Later on we added seven
more hens to the pen, and while there was
a remarkable fertility of the eggs, the
chicks produced were very weak. and the
changeable weather we have had has killed
almost all of them. This year we will fol-
low the English rule much more closely,
and believe our success will be better.

FARM, HOME And GARDEN.
THE FORTY-ACRE FARM.
JOHN D. YATES .

I'm thinking, wife, of neighbor Jo~es, that man
with stalwart arm
He lives in peace and plenty on forty-acre
farm;
When men are all around us, with hearts and
Who own two hundred acres, and still are want
ing more.
His is a pretty little farm "a pretty little
house;
Re has loving wife within, as quiet as a
mouse;
His children play around the door-their fathers
heart to charm,
Looking just neat and tidy as the tidy little
farm.
No weeds are in the cornfeld, no thistIes in the
oats.
The horses show good keeping by their fine and
glossy coats;
The cows within the meadow, resting meath the
beachen shade,
Learn all their gentle manners from gentle
milking maid
Within the field on Saturday he leaves no Graded
To be gathered on the morrow, for fear of coming
rain
He keeps the Sabbath holy-his children learn his
ways,
And plenty fills his barns and bins after the har-
vest days.
For the very simple reason, there are no fences
down:
The bar room in the village does not have for him
charm;
can always find my neighbor on his forty-acre
farm.
His acres very few, he plows item very
deep;
IT'S his own hand that turns the sod-'tis his own
hand that reaps:
He has place for everything, and things are in
their place.
The sunshine smiles upon his fields, contentment
in his face.
May not learn a lesson, wife, from prudent
Neighbor Jones,
And not for what we haven't got-give vent to
signs and groans?
The rich amt always happy, nor free from life's
alarms,
But bIest are those who live content, tho ugh
small may be their farms

GERMAN (?) KNIVES.



The always democratic New York Sun
has this to say of the operation of tx at
bill which other journals of less ancient
members in the democratic church call the
infamous Mckinley bill:
There are now beginning to appear In
the cutlery stores many knives and other
articles on each of which is stamped the
word Germany. The Mckinley bill re-
quires this. In the custom house and at
sea on the way Lack to Germany are goods
which are not stamped German A large
dealer in cutlery, in discussing this effect
of the bill, said yesterday that the market
had been flooded with knives and cutlery
of all sorts stamped Providence Cutlery
company or New Bedford Cutlery com
pany, but nevertheless of German make
and Of such inferior material that men
who bought them vowed they would never
again buy an American knife or tool. Our
American cutting tools are tie best in the
world, and hereafter they will moi suffer
from unfair competition"
To which we would add that if every
yard of cloth, silk, cotton goods, or velvet
imported to the United States were stamp
ed with the place of its make two things
would follow Many fraud would be
avoided, for it is very doubtful If more
than fourth part of the articles of wearing
appareI now sold as imported is imported,
and national pride would be PROMOTE.
for it would be seen that there are few
things which Europe can make better
than America makes them.

Suggestions to Breeders.

The rood mares and other breeding
females on the farm can not have too in
telligent care few weeks prior to produc-
ing their young. 1t is important that
their owner or attendant get we'll acquaint-
ed with them, and especially that these
dumb creatures have feeling of confidence
established that the offered assistance and
attention comes from friendly hands.
Much of the loss on the stock farm during
the breeding period arises from neglect to
tame the prospective mothers. The work
of tanning all the farm animals is never
out of place. The work horses, the COWS,
the sires. all under good control, the fat
tening beasts, resting or eating quietly.
are objects worthy of the farmers earnest
concern.

The Death of the Old Wife.

She had lain all day In a stupor, breath
ing with heavilyssladen breath, but as the
sun sank to rest In the far off western sky,
and the red glow On the wall of tie room
faded into dense shadows, she awoke and
called feebly to her aged partner, who sat
motionless by the bedside. He bent over
his dying wife and took her Wan, wrinked
hand in his SIS it night?" she asked in
tremulous tones, looking at him with eyes
that saw not. Yes. :" be answered softly,

Where are the children ?" she queried,
"are they all IMP
Poor old man! how could he answer
her? the children who had slept for long
years in the church yard-who had out
lived childhood and borne the heat and
burden of the day, and growing old had
finished their sojourn.

old man TREMENDOUSLY; "don't think of

MY trust is in Thee; let me never be

I'd rather walk with Him by faith, than

Her mind was again in the past. The
grave-dust of twenty Years had lain on
Charles golden hair; but the mother
had never forgotten him. The old man
patted her cold hands-hands that had
labored SO hard they were scanned. and
WIFI kled. and calioused with years of toll,
and the weGding-ring was worn to a mere
thread of gold, and then he pressed his
thin lips to them and cried.
She had encouraged and strengthened
him in every toll of life. Why, what
woman she had been! What a worker,
WHAT leader In Israe. Always with the
gift of prayer or service. They had stood
at many a death-bed together, closed the
eyes cf loved ones and then sat down with

and sad to see the old man.

stove.
Cleveland Pres g,

Don't fret. I'll be there in min
ute But, my friend, O. minute means d
good deal, Notwithstanding you affect to
hold it of no consequence. Did you ever
stop to think what may happen in min
ute No. Well, while you are murder
ing minute for yourself and one for me
before we get ready for the business we
have in hand, will amuse you by telling
you some things that will happen mean
time.
In minute we shall be whirled around
on the outside of the earth by its diurnal
motion distance of thirteen miles. At
the same time we shall have gone along
with the earth on its grand journey
around the sun |, 0S0 miles. Pretty quick
travelling, you say. Why, that is slow
work compared with the rate of travel of
that ray of light which just now reflected
from that mirror. A minute ago that
ray was II, 100000 miles away.
In a minute, over all the world. about
eighty new-b born infants have each raised
wall of protest, as if against thrusting ex-
lstence upon them; while as many more
human beings. weary with the struggle of
life, have opened their lips to utter their
last sigh.
In minute the lowest sound your ear
can catch has been made by $50 vibra-
tions, while the highest tone reaches you
after making 1928, 900 vibrations.
In minute an express train goes mile,
and a street car thirty-two rods; the fast
est trotting horse 14S rods, and an average
pedestrian has got over sixteen rods.
Each minute, night and day, by the
official reports, the United States collects
s639 and spends s46l. The interest on
the public debt was 596 minute last year,
or just exactly equal to the amount of sill
yer mined in that time. The telephone is
used sos times, the telegraph 1876 times.
Of tobacco, 925 pounds are raised. and part
of it has been used ip making 6, 673 cigars,
and some more of it has gone up In the
SMOKE of 2. 1872 cigarettes.
But | am afraid that you will forget
that we are talking about minute, sixty
seconds OF time. No? Well, then, every
minute 600 pounds of wool grow in this
country. and we have to dig sixty-one tons
of anthracite coal and 200 tons of blum
inous coal. while Of pig-iron we turn out
twelve tons, and of steel rails three tons.
In this minute you have kept me waiting
