A nice affectionate old tabby cat
purred around his chair and curled its
tail up between his knees The tail
was rather pretty and had stripes on it,
but somehow the sight of that tail
made the man trem BILE like leaf. He
made covert grab at it, but it was

a laugh and took bite of bread. The

FEEDING AND MANURE.
Wherein the English Farmer Is Wiser
Than His American Brother.

Wherein the English Farmer Is Wiser
Than His American Brother.
George McKerrow has called atten-
ton to the fact that the English farmer
well understands the value of manure.
He has studied it for centuries, and we
find him feeding those foods which
give rich manure very freely to his
stock. We find him feeding eight to
twelve pounds of oil meal at time to
his fattening steer, when 1t is pretty
well-known now that such steer Will
only utilize from five to six pounds of
this oil meal to the best advantage In
putting on flesh, but the English
farmer reasons that what he don't get
in flesh he gets in fertility. 1t will
paw us to feed stock the material nee
essary to keep up the nitrogen in the
soil, and unless we do feed stock and
grow clover the fertility of our soils
will after awhile become exhausted
and we will have to work our farm At
the halves. that is, we will have to ex-
pend the work and have only half
crop and we1might just as well be-
come renters and work the land at
the halves as to work our own farms IN
that way. Now the feeds that we have
access to in this country that will pro
duce rich manures are such as cotton
seed meal, oil meal. bran, middlings,
oats and clover. Such feeds as corn,
straw and slough hay are not as rich In
those nitrogeuons elements. and there
fore do not give us as rich manure

MAKE HASTE SLOWLY.

1t Generally Pays Better Than Being in
Too Big a Rush.
We of to-day live in a perfect frenzy
of hurry: we can never go quickly
enough; we are forever discovering
short cuts to reform, improvement and
happiness in general, and straightway
plunging headlong into them; and when
one after the other proves to be an i'm
passe, we hastily turn aside. and lock
for new one. There is poverty in the
land; quick we rush to discover a means
of making all men rich. Somebody or
other offers to do it for us. if we will
but give him so many thousands of
Quick, give him the money
is the cry, and a howl of indigna-
ton is raised against those who
beg US to stay our hand and reflect
There is drunkenness, and we clamor
to close all the public houses. We are
far too impatient to live the life our
selves and watch the gradual improve
ment of our race; we long to push them
from behind, to goad them on in the
path of virtue with acts of parliament.
And the same with our expressions
of opinions; we rush in the widest
haste TO deliver them, to administer
praise or blame. If any man be &C
cused. he is hoisted into the pillory
and pelted long before he has time to
utter a word Of defense; if anyone
please as. he is hailed as a hero, and
loaded with honorE and adulations even
before we know exactly what it is that
he has done. the result being that
we are constantly making our
selves ridiculous; q result that
matters the less in that we never real
" leave ourselves time to contemplate
the ludicrous figure that we cut In
our private life we are in no way bet
ter. We have never time to enjoy to-
day. because we are always living in
tomorrow; and when tomorrow comes
it finds all our attention fixed on the
day after. Too soon we rejoice; too
soon we despond; and we are forever in
one extreme or the other Too soon
we pour out our complaints in the
newspapers, too soon we bring accusa-
tions against our hbors, too soon
we try to push ourselves into the front
ranks even too soon do we wish to en-
JOY the fruits of the earth. The forced
straw berry and the early asparagus
are typical of our hurrying appetite.

ant place the world would be If we
were only content to hurry less and en-
iOy more--SpectatOr.

The London Lancet, one of the lead

Cheap, Easily Constructed. Warm, Roomy
and Serviceable-
Farmers in a new country, while
often having a wealth of energy, are
usually not possessed of overabundant
means. and the necessary land i'm
provements make it imperative that as
little capital as possible be invested in
the unproductive part of the farm
plant viz. the buildings, etc, which,
however necessary they may be, con-
stantly deteriorate and return no direct
interest on the investment. Thus, If
the same warmth and the same protec-
ton can be secured by using q cheap
material, costing say $500 for a barn,
which if built of more expensive ma
terial would cost 81, 900 and yet be no
better for the purpose for which it Is
needed, it is evident that the 500 rep
resenting the excess of cost would be
at least dead capital, drawing no in
terest and not increasing in value.

THE BEST medical writer's claim that the

The history of the efforts to treat catarrh

NIT that only one remedy has completely
met these conditions. and that is Ely's
Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant rem

SUDDEN DEATH.
Rev. James BickneU Expires in

-
a Few Moments.
' Last evening about 8 :45 o'clock
the well-known pastor, Rev. James
Bicknell, died in a sudden man
ner.
Mr.. Bicknell had preached a
powerful sermon against the lot
terry at kaumakapili Church, and
after the services were over he
was surrounded on the sidewalk in
front of the church by members of
the congregation, all eager to con-
graduate the pastor for his vigor-
Gus sermon. While Misunderstanding
was being INDUCED in, Mr.. Bick-
nell was seen to place his hand on
the back Of his head, and immedi-
ately after he fell to the ground in
a conscious condition, and COM
planned of a severe pain in his
head. A carriage was Immediately
called to convey him to his home
on Kukui street, but he expired On
the way. A rupture of a blood
vessel is supposed to be the cause
of death.
