Ct Farm Notes.

Increase the acreage of clover.
Reduce the area and prepare it more
carefully.
1t is easier TO handle a hundred acres In
different crops than of one.
Bone meal is fertilizer in itself, but
plaster is only a stimulant.
Ten acres of soiling crops viii give as
much feed as fifty of pasture
1t is not good luck that gives good
crops, but good work given in good sea-
son.
Where meat is desired a good strong
growth from birth to maturity is profta-
able.
The nature of the soil must in great
measure determine the way it should be
treated.
Farm productions can not lie changed
to suit the temporary fluctuations OF the
market.
lone advantage in feeding oil meal to
hogs, is that it lessons very materially the
liability to worms.
Mixed stock, as well as mixed crops, are
necessary If the fertility of the whole
farm is to be kept up.
OF the different kinds of grasses usually
sown for pastures, blue grass and orchard
grass thrive best in the shade.
One of the objections to orchard grass
is its liability to grow in stools; thick
seeding will in a great measure remedy
this.
By following a system of mixed farming
and stock raising, better opportunity is
offered of resting the land by rotation of
crops.
The more thoroughly decomposed the
manure when applied, the more available
1t is for plant food. 1t will rot in the soil,
however.
One object gained in supplying plenty OF
bedding Is that much material that is OF
little value as manure Is converted into q
good fertilizer.
In sowing grass seed use plenty of seed.
II is more economical to pay out little
for seed than TO have patches Of weeds
over the meadows OF pastures
Waste not, want not" is bald-headed
old motto, but nevertheless IL deserves to
be painted in big letters and hung where
IL can be seen on the farm every day.
Because commercial manures can be
used with certain crops TO a good advant-
: age is no reason why every advantage
should not be taken to increase ths
amount Of animal manure.

UTILIZED A COUGH.
A French Marshal Conveyed an Order
Under Its Cover In 1881.

Under Its Cover In 1881.
1t was a cough which was mainly
responsible for the immense amount of
bloodshed that attended the coup
d etat whereby Napoleon Ill obtained
his throne, writes correspondent of
the New York Recorder.
That unscrupulous but brilliant ad-
venturer general and afterward Field
Marshal de ST. Arnaud had charge of
the military operations. But he was
unwilling to assume the direct respon-
sibility of ordering the troops to fire
upon the people being not altogether
certain as to the result of Napoleon's
memorable enterprise.
When the moment for action arrived
the mob began to show signs of sweep
ing aside the troops the brigadier
generals under his orders sent an Off
Ger to him at headquarters to ask him
what they were to do, whether they
were to fire on the populace or give
way.
Strangely enough, St Arnaud was
seized at that moment with violent
fit of coughing which lasted for sever
al minutes Finally when it ceased
the general just managed to gasp the
words. Ma sacre touxw (my cursed
cough.)
The officer having waited until the
general had recovered his breath, re-
peated the question. Again ST. Ar
maud was seized with a violent fit of
coughing, which terminated, as on the
previous occasion, with the parting
exclamation of ma sacre touxp'
The officer was no fool; he could
take hint as well as any one else.
and, saluting he left ST. Arnaud' s
presence. On returning TO the brig
adiers and colonies who had sent him
for instructions he was asked what re
ply st Arnaud had made
The generals only words and COM
mands were masacrez tou5! massacre
everybody"
These commands were obeyed to the
letter, aud many thousand people
were shot down and bayoneted in con.
sequence.

LIGHTNING ON SHIPBoARD.
The Vessel Had No Conductor and tn g
Captain Was Shocked.

Captain Was Shocked.
My father was walking the poop of
his vessel in Sydney harbor, and, as
iC was rather a close, warm evening,
the awnings were furled. 1t was
laundering and lightning. He had
Just got aft and turned around, when
he saw something exceedingly bright
drop before him, and he was knocked
Down. In falling he struck his head
against the rail- which stunned him
for a minute.
When he got up he found that the
front part of his legs were severely
scorched, says London Tid-Bits Two
of the planks in the deck were
charred about an inch deep for
length OF seven feet and the main
royal OF a ship lying about a
quarter of a mile astern was broken
off, though whether by the same
stroke he could not tell.
When the deck was repaired my
father kept the charred portions and
he still has them to show to any one
who doubts his story.
The ships that were struck by the
lightning had no conductors on their
masts. Most ships have them now.
In the ship on which / served my time
we had platinum rod on each
truck, with wire conductors passing
through glass insulators down the
back-stays.
On the least sign OF thunder the
ends OF these wires were thrown over
the side. On dark nights when there
was any lightning flashing the points
OF the platinum rods used to have a
blue light glimmering on them. and
the effect was very weird and un-
cannY.

Len XIII and Renan.

There has been published telegram
from Rome, the writer Of which, who is
described as "a diplomatist,' gives an
account of the manner in which the pope
received the intelligence of Remains
death, derived, as he affirms, from the
prelate who communicated it to his holt
ness. 1t was on Sunday evening, and the
pope was about to retire. He remained
Silent a moment, and then asked, "How
did he die?' "Impenitent," was the re-
ply. Leo XIII reflected moment, and
then remarked very quietly, THAT is
better" The prclate having manifested
some surprise, the pope went on to ex-
plain that Renan had proved by his end
that his doubt was sincere. He would
be judged by his sincerity, which, If it
was thorough, might absolve him.
A few moments afterward Leo Ali
observed that Renan had done more good
than harm to the church. Hehad aroused
theologians from their torpor. He had

The Wonian's Page.

We hereby extend our sympathies to
the lady editors of the "Woman's page"
which is beginning to run every day in
large daily papers in New York and
elsewhere. There is in the whole round
of journalism no such difficult page to
edit, and the woman who can do 1t
successfully is a genius. Perhaps man
might do it if one could be found as
exceptional in his calling as Worth is in
dressmaking or the New York Fifth
avenue man milliner is in trimming
bonnets. But where is the Worth OF
journalism?
The page devoted to women reflects
the curious transition state in which the
sex now is. 1t also reflects to con-
siderable extent the personal tastes OF
the editor. If woman is fond OF
crochet work and embroidery she will
hardly be made the editor of the
woman's page, for talent in fancy knit
ting and editing rarely go together. If,
however, such a thing should happen,
then space will be given 10 "henslngton
stitch" "throw off and purl one" etc.
BY the way, we have never yet found
anybody, male or female, who could in
terpret the mysterious meaning OF
throw off and purl one
Women who are enthusiasts in higher
education and athletics for the sex want
that to have great prominence. Then
there is the mother of half dozen chill
dren. She wants tiny dress patterns
and remedies for measles. Lastly there
is the big boss of all, the editor in chief
who is mortally afraid the page Will &c
in for woman suffrage or some cranl
thing and lose him money. On tbs
whole, the lady editors lot is not happy
me.

been in charge of the Church of the AS
cension, corner of Fifth avenue and
Tenth street, New York, which was
previously in charge Of DIR. John Cotton
Smith, and at the time Of his death was
in serious danger of disruption. DIR.
Donald was at that time assistant
rector of the parish, and his acquaint-

the prestige of the church and interested
his congregation in so many schemes OF
charity and other good work that all
their former views as to moving farther

some notice, and soon made the Church
of the Ascension one of the strongest
