MY TENDER CONSCIENCE.

I have a tender conscience,
That measures five feet three,
Whose slight reprooi rs worth whole tome.
OF cold divinity,
Who leads the by "a still small voice."
And, with loving glance,
Reminds me while the lamp holds out,
This sinner has chance.
Whose form is ever by my side,
And at the door of sin
Thrusts out white and rounded arm
And bars the way within.
No man can ever go astrav
Who pauses to reflect
That he must meet those modest eyes
And keep his self-respect
So with firm. mistaken front,
I bid old Satan flee
For I've a tender conscience,
That measures five feet three

Faith and science.

They dwell apart that radiant pair;
In different CARDS appear;
And while the vows of men they share
Have separate affairs here.
A golden lamp the one displays,
OF light still clear and keen;
The other walks meath starry rays,
With sometimes clouds between.
The voice of one enjoins the wise
To mete, and weigh, and prove;
The other lifts expectant eyes,
And inly murmurs. Lowell
Both teachers of celestial birth,
To each be credence given.
To Science that interprets Earth,
To Faith the seer of Heaven.

A Mellow Soil.

-, Many farmers have not informed
themselves on the full value OF a fine
ly pulverized soil for hoed crops, as
compared with surface Of clods. 1t
would be we'll worth while for them to
try q few experiments. An intelligent
farmer who cultivates his corn once a
week from the time it is up till it is
higher than the back of the horse
which works the cultivator, estimates
the gain at 20 per cent as the result
OF this work. the soil being dry
enough.
1t is important that the operation be
repeated many times, as the results
vary under changing conditions and
circumstances. One Of our expert.
ment stations tried cultivating corn
often. and gave ain, unfavorable report
1t was found that the weather was un.
usually wet for some weeks while the
cultivation was continued, and the
tread Of the horse and the weight OF
cultivator pressed the earth and made
the soil more compact than before.
Another used the pillow, and it went so
deep as to tear up a portion Of tho
roots.
1t is well for farmers to see what
they are doing. The soil or the clods
should be dry enough TO cfumble 10
powder, instead 81 being worked into
plastic masses, to bake hard when dry
weather comes. Much depends on the
kind OF implement used, especially
with an adhesive soil made up largely
OF clods and lumps. The old Square
harr"w With square teeth, aids some
what in reducing the cloddy soil
through which It passes, but its work
in this way is imperfect. A leading
object in the operation Of the smooth
ing harrow, Is 10 cut downwards and
chop up and grind up the clods. Other
harrows, like the spring tooth, tear up
the earth from greater depth instead
OF cutting down, but have less action
on clods, The owner should examine
and decide what kind Of an implement
is needed and act accordingly. And If
by few limited and measured expert
ments, he can ascertain what tool, what
treatment and what condition Of the
weather ne should use with the best
results the information he thus OBJ
tains from experience may many times
repay his care and labor.

The horse is about the most neg
lected domestic animal, says the Ma
tional Stockman, we have on the farm.
| havs known farmers to say that it
was a waste OF time to clean a horse.
They would scrape the manure off
them and work them all the time.
Ten minutes each morning spent in
cleaning u horse will make him look a
great deal better, and as II some one
owned him. This winter grain Is
bringing fair price and great many
men think they can't afford TO feed the
horses grain, and think they are econ:
omizihg 10 keep the grain and sell it
for a good price. Now / can't see
where they are economizing, for their
stock will be skin poor all the time
and it costs more money to keep a
horse poor than 1t does to keep them
fat. think it is cheaper to feed up
and get horses fat before spring work
commences, and then they can do
more work on less feed and a great
deal easier.
One great mistake is not keeping
horses warm enough in cold stables,
where the snow blows on them, with
very little bedding under them. Why
do such mems horses look hard and
they complain it costs SO much to
keep their horsesP II they would fix
their stables, use more bedding fer
their horses and good warm blankets
on them, and little moro feed, I
think their horses would look so per
cent better A warm stable and a
good blanket will save grain, and the
horses will have more get up to
them. / think a good feed for horses
that is cheap Is to use more oil-meal-

A JOCULAR PARRO
He Takes Distlng uished Part In a sun
day School Celebration.

TIC iakes Distlng uished Pnrt In a Sun
day School Celebration.
Tho Lutheran church in the Fifth
Ward, held its children's day exercises
one Sunday, and they were a success
in every way says Harrisburg writer
to the Philadelphia Press. The oc-
casion was made particularly joyous
by the presence OF a parrot belonging
to restaurant-keepe on Broad street.
The Sunday-school room was beauti-
fully decorated with flowers, and hung
at intervals through the room were
cages of birds. There were canaries
and mocking-b.rds, and az curiosity,
the parrot. II was good parrot for
tala, and on this occasion it seemed to
enter iato the spirit of the air.
There were q number of addresses
! delivered, but the parrot wac not on
the programme Tor an address. It's
voice was heard all the same. The
school had Just finished that touching
song from Gospel Hymns, No. 2,
| called, Still There's More TO Follow"
when the parrot thought it was time
10 say something. Poking its head
between the bars he looked sharply
Mt the superintendent and said in a
| clear tenor voice: Two beers, there,
and pretzel." The children laughed
and thought Il was good joke, and
some of the small boys Intercepted
the bird concerning its desire for a
cracker. The superintendent succeed
ed in restoring order, and the minister
was about to say something when the
bird, now wound up, shouted: Get
on to the bum eatiff' the lunchr
The boys laughed some moro, and
their hilarity was further increased
when tho parrot laughed a funny
"Haw hawn and said Have one with
mer'
There was pause in the hilarity
engendered by the birds quaint and
entirely misft remarks shortly after
ward, and young lady, wearing a new
spring bonnet came to the front OF the
platform TO sing solo. As the Or
ganist touched up few notes OF the
prelude, the parrot caught sight OF
the sweet singer, and said in tone OF
the most ravishing delight: "Oh,
mamma buy me that!"
All during the exercises thereafter
the bird kept calling for papa" and
'mamma, and conversing in a con-
fidential way with the boys near its
cage, telling them to pay for that
sandwich" and ''thore are flies on
you" .--..... ...s..--a..........

As last resort the parrot was re-
moved TO the ante-room, where it had
a good time whistling "Annie Rooney"
and "Raszle Dazzle" from "a Brass
Monkey" 1t wound up by yelling:
Fire! Fire! Here comes the Good
Will! jump her! Hope-ieo!' "The
Red Rabbits will get the first plug
stream on!'' and similar pet phrases il
learned at fireman's congersazione,
and then. tired out it went TO sleep.
1t was great day for the Sunday
school.

Frogs at School.

Twenty froggies went to school
Down beside a rushy pool;
Twenty little coats of green,
Twenty vests all white and clean.
1--WE must be in time" said they:
First we study, then we play,
That is how we keep the rule
When we froggies go to school,
Master Bullfrog, grave and stern,
Called the classes in their turn.
Taught them how to nobly strive,
Likewise how to leap and dive;
From his seat upon the log,
Showed them how to say "Ker-chog!~
Also how to dodge blow
From the sticks which bad boys throw
Twenty froggies grew up fast;
Bullfrogs they became at last;
Not one Ounce among the lot,
Not one lesson they forgot;
Polished in high degree.
As each froggie ought to be:
Now they sit on other logs
Teaching other little frogs.

Old NJ ussentouchit.

There was one word the little girl heard
many times day and could not imagine
what it was. says Golden Days The word
was Mussentouchit. Baby wondered who
Musser touchit could be. The strange thing
lived il the bureau drawers, it lived in the
sewing machine; it lived in the tall jar that
stood on the little round table; it certainly
lived in the glass globe where the gold
fishes swan
This vent on till baby was two years old.
Mussen touchit was everywhere-in the
shining books on the parlor table; in the
flower beds; among the roses. even in
mammals workbasket the strange thing
lived; and if baby took up reel of silk or
cotton there was Mussentouchit.
One day baby found herself by the glass
globe al alone. The family were very busy.
and for few minutes forgot the little. pry
ing, res less darling.
This was her chance. Upwent the chubby
legs into the chair that stood near the gold
fish globe. Poised on the rounding cushion
baby reached far over to touch the goldfish.
In reaching she lost her balance and fell,
dragging the globe to the floor. There was
a crash, a scream, Il rush and mamma was
on the spot. Baby was picked up, kissed
and SEQ ded.
