A Mammoth Chestnut Company has
been organized in New Jersey, with u
capital OF $4,000, all paid in. This,
the New Orleans Picayuue explains, is
not chestnut in the reproachful sense.
The company owns natural chestnut
glove of $50 acres in Camden County,
which IS said to be the prcttest and
most productive piece of chestnut tim
Der in the United States. The idea is to
increase the holdings to 1000 acres in
various sections of the State, aud go into
the culture of mammoth chestnuts on a
mammoth scale. The trees in the grove
mentioned are about as far apart as those
in peach orchard, and have been cut oil
few feet from the ground, while the en-
tire tract has been cleared, the wood oh.
tanned more than paying the cost. Slips
from japanese chestnut trees are being
DTdllGu W tue obulHpSI hhi u IIOp VI thO
"mammoths" is expected in two years.
There are many varieties of improved
chestnuts, but the japanese have been
assiduously cultivated for centuries, aud
excel all others. The combination with
them OF the sweetness and flavor Of the
wild American variety, which has never
been cultivated, will, if it is accom-
plished, bring about perfect product.
The japanese nut is ready for market two
or three weeks earlier than any other, aud
the expense OF gathering the crop is
comparatively slight. Sheep can be
pastured in the chestnut orchard, or it
can be made into game preserve. One
OF the finest trout streams in the State
runs through it, and it is full of small
game. 1t is very common to see a
japanese chestnut six inches or more in
circumference. 1t is not palatable raw,
but can be cooked and used as food in
many different ways.

A discussion over the question, GLOW

Deems's little prize essay is MS follows:
Managef What is thatl Does it

We use our superior human intellect tC
control and guide his superior physical
strength so as to obtain tho best
results. But wife is not a horse.
Where two persons are well married the
wife is superior to her husband in az
many respects as he is superior to her ia
others. II happiness is to be the result
of the union the first business Of the hus-
band is to manage himself 50 as to keep
himself always his wifc's respectful

her equal partner, always her superior

late the wife to be always all admiling
friend, always an atFectionatc sweetheart,
always thrifty housewife, always a con-
fding ward. And this will 50 react
upon the husband that his love for his
wife will grow 50 as to make it easy for
the husband, with all his faults, to bear
with all the infrmities of his 'ouc and

THE JohnstOwn food separated
many families that were not united
for many days, and there may still be
former residents Of that little city
who are mourning the loss of friends
who may be living. A reunion after
long separation has recently taken
place. James Agnew and his family
had their home washed away by the
flood. The mother and children were
rescued and cared for by the Relief
Committee, and then sent to friends
in Tennessee. They never heard from
the father of the little family, and he
was given up for lost, as among those
who were in namelCSS graves. But
Mr.. Agnew all this time has been
searching for his lost family. He was
swept down by the rushing torrent,
and amid the wreckage was bruised
and injured so that he became uncon-
scious. He was cared for In the Red
Cross Hospital, and lay there un-
known, shattered in mind and body.
When he recovered so as to be able to
identify himself his family had been
sent away, and the confusion OF the
records placed them also among the
lost. But diligent search has, after
three years separation, reunited the
family.
MANY failures in life are best Illus
tratcd by futile attempts to thread
a needle. 1t seems easy enough, but
unless ones eyeSight is extra sharp
fine Aim Of thread will extend be-
yOnd It's visible point, and as this
| goes one side or the other of the eye
the thread is turned away. 1t Is
only by forgetting what at first
glance seems to be the end Of the
thread, and looking at the fine point
in advance, that 1t can be put
through. Just 80 it is In life.
Trilling mistakes made early give
bent away from the true course that
1t Is hard to overcome, and impossible
except by beginning anew. On the
other hand, if at the first due care is
taken to watch the end of the fla
ment 1t becomes much easier to fol-
low it with the thread through the
eye. In life this means that attend
ing to the small trifles that form
character in youth is the best prep
aration for success in later years.
IT is an extremely mild way the
New York Tribune has of putting
things when it says Of the Grant mon
umcnt that ait cannot be denied that
this honorable undertaking has hith-
ert0 brought little credit to New
York" We should think not. 1t has
brought no credit TO New York, but
an infinite amount OF discredit; and
II the hero whose memory has been
so trlfcd with could return to the
scenes Of his earthly career he would
never Willingly depart without some
assurance that his ashes would IL
laid elsewhere than in New York.

A PECULIAR REM1N1soENCE.

Brattleboro people will be interested in a
news despatch from San Francisco, CAL,
in a Chicago paper, concerning Rev. B.
Fay Mills, the evangelist, who labored
here so successfully few years ago. The
despatch refers to private prayer meeting
held by Mr.. Mills, his wife and a few
friends in a room over San Francisco sa-
loon, and then goes on to tell this remark
able story:
SIT seems that in 1875 Mills was real
estate broker in this city [San Francisco
and a notorious poker player, and was adj
dicted to drink. He lodged in the room
over the saloon. One night in August
that year he played poker in a room be-
hind the saloon, and won nearly $5000
Going out friend asked him for loan of
800. He lent it and went back to watch
the game became interested, played again
himself, and lost all he had in the world.
He went up to his room respondent and
bent on suicide. He got a revolver out
of his trunk and reached up on high
shelf for cartridges. In doing so he
knocked down a book, which fell on the
floor open. 1t proved to be small psalm

at school, His eye lighted on the passage
of the Twenty Fourth Psalm, fifth verse
He shall receive the blessing from the
Lord and righteousness from the God of
his salvation A flood of memories came
over him. He kneeled and prayed and
was saved. Mills closed up his business in

A HOME FOR THE AGED AND
nISARI,ED

Editor PhGRir:-As a village rapidly
approaches a city in size it feels more and
more the need of those provisions of benev-
olence which cities supply by homes and
organized charities of various kinds. One
of the earliest of these needs is a home for
the aged and disabled. The very poor are
provided for wholly at the public expense.
Those well off can wholly take care of
themselves. Between the two is a class
occasionally of some means, who greatly
need home which benevolence must found,
must in part support, and must continually
care for.
A house once provided for such pur-
pose is a source of interest to community.
1t is both bond of union on the part of
the benevolent and an inspiration for the
discharge of their duty to the unfortunate.
Good people remember such a home in
their wills, and the young soon learn to
work for it and to give to it. Out of such
a home as centre, there are easily devel-
oped such further provisions as are needed
by the various classes of the unfortunate
and the destitute. Has not the time ar
rived when such a home should be pro
vided in Brattleboro? Are there not now
among her citizens-and on her borders
persons who greatly need such home,
toward which they, or their friends, would
make contributions? May we not believe
that, if there was an organized body for
supporting such a home, and house Sc
cured for its use, there would soon be be-
quests made in wills that would, not long
hence, make it a great credit to Brattleboro
and a source of comfort to the most de-
serving of those who need the kindly care
of her people? Have not her churches a
duty and her ministers an opportunity, in
this unoccupied sphere of Christian benev-
olence? :.
