please come up here few minutes!'
and Here, father, want you upstairs
little while!"
Wondering little, but never guess.
ing, they went upstairs together, and
in the hall parted. What mother saw
as she entered her daughters room was
a shining, silvery mass of something
lying on the neat white bed, soft and
silky pile of material which gradually
took form and shape until she saw
beautiful gown, whose delicate laces in
neck and sleeves, cembined with the
soft gray tint, made It look bridelilze
indeed.
"Oh, girls!" was all she could say, as
Janet put her into chair and began
to take down her little coil of white
hair
Dressing the bride" occupied per-
haps an hour, and when, at last, the
toilet was pronounced complete, the
faded blue eyes behind the gold bowed
glasses saw in the large old-fashioned
mirror a sweet and dainty picture-a
beautiful-faced old lady with delicate
heliotrope nesting among the laces at
her throat, and tiny spray in her
hair. A faint pink flush of excitement
had come to the withered cheeks,
which made the old face sweet his
tory of what it had been in its youth
full prime. Olive and Janet kissed her
triumphantly.
"Mother, you don't realize how
sweet and young you look! you have
worn black so long!" And: ooh,
mother, we're going to have wedding
in this house to-day, and you arc to be
the brider
Fifty years ago to-day" the old
bride softly murmured, looking down
at the thin circlet of gold that she had
worn SO long, and in her heart sudden
longing sprang up, newly kindled, a
quick and strong desire for hin, who
had been her husband all these years.
She looked wistfully toward the
door and took a faltering step towards
it, but just then it opened, and John
and David entered, escorting between
them proudly the hero of the day, at
tired in fine new suit of broadcloth,
with festive little posy in his button
hole, and a face beaming with renewed
youth and gladness.
The children were forgotten in the
quick, impulsive embrace that followed,
aud the long kiss of love and honor and
hdelity that crowned that half century
of welded life.
That was day never to be forgot
ten in all the country round. Everybody
was there-not only the old who had
grown old with the happy bride and
groom, but the middle-aged and strong.

The ZOE SUPPLY.
Why 1t Should BE Gathered from Abso-
lutely Pure Water


1t is always desirable that Ice should
be gathered from pure water but when
it is used for cooling water for drink
ing 1T is indispensable that 1t be per-
fectly pure. AS rule the water of
pond is numerously charged with i'm
purities, and ice cut from stagnant
pond or one through which slow cur
rent, only, moves, should be ased with
caution. AS rule, water In freezing
separates from its impurities, even
those which are held in solution. Thus,
salt water freezes into fresh ice, the
particles of water separating from the
particles of salt. This may easily be
made very plain. 1t is known that the
particles OF water measure not more
than one-fve-hundred- millionth part of
an inch in diameter, and there is every
reason to believe they are round.
When any substance is dissolved in
water it is reduced to particles much
smaller than the molecules of the wa
ter, and these rest in the spaces be-
tween the round bodies of which a
mass of water consists. Anything held
in suspension in water merely lies
among the particles of it, being in
larger size. When water freezes. the
exceedingly small PARTICLES of which it
consists join together. and form solid
crystals. AS they have only attrac-
ton for each other and not for
other substances mixed with them,
these are pushed aside us the
needle-like crystals are formed on the
surface, and these, being lighter than
the water, float on the surface. AS
the ice becomes thicker by the gather
ing of the minute crystals, any impure
matter is forced aside and remains in
the unfrozen water. Thus the ice is
pure under these circumstances. But
if rain falls, or dew is deposited, or
snow covers the ice, or a thin sheet of
water flows over 1t, and these freeze,
whatever impurities this water may
contain are of course retained and can.
not escape to the water below, and ice
so formed is not pure and will contain
more or less impure matter as the
peculiar circumstances may happen to
be.
This explanation will help those
concerned to form judgment in re-
gard to the quality of the ice they may
gather, and if pure ice cannot be pro
cured it should be used outside OF the
vessels in which anything to be eaten
or drunk Is cooled. When ice is taken
from its packing In the ice house and
used for cooling drinking water, il
should be washed clean, and as the
GOODNESS of 1t condenses the moisture Of
the air upon its surface, when ice is
used in room where sick persons are,
it should be washed; but it is better tc
keep it elsewhere. No doubt many in
furious germs exist in ice, and the
worst of them, the various fever anc
diphtheria germs, are not killed by the
cold of freezing even during weeks OF
months. Hence, ice is always to be
used with as much carefulness in this
respect as water is, or should be-

HINTS FOR FARMERS.

PARSLEY may be kept in condition
for use during the winter if covered
with box having pane of glass in
the top.
THE tons of leaves that can be had
with no cost but the raking and haul
ing will be found valuable adjunct
to the keeping of stock in winter.
They not only serve to provide the best
of bedding, but may be added to the
manure heap with advantage.
A DITCH around the manure heap will
drain it of the surplus water, but
large proportion of the fertilizing mat
ter will be carried away by the water,
and especially the soluble portions.
The proper mode of arresting loss is to
supply the heap with sufficiency of
absorbent material. Even dry earth is
better than nothing.
NEVER build fence unless you are
compelled to use one. Not only is a
fence costly, but it must be kept in re
pair after it is made. In some sections
no fences are used, and the saving to
the farmers amounts to a very large
sum. 1t is cheaper to fence the stock
in than to fence against the trespass of
your neighbours stock.
THREE is a demand and ready sale
for choice steers. Butchers have diff
ticulty in procuring what is termed
extra choice" cattle. There is plenty
of room for farmers to improve in the
size and quality of their cattle, and
there is larger profit ready for those
who will turn their attention to the
production of choice beef.
pIsINFECTANTs cost but little. An
ounce of sulphuric acid in a gallon Of
water will destroy the germs of ali dis
eases with which it comes in ccrtact
and can be sprayed over quite a space.
A pound of copperas, costing three
cents, dissolved in two GALLONS of
water, will destroy many diseases due
to filth.
LEAVE the COW stall uncleaned for a
few days and the filth will be such as
to render milking the most disagreed
bic work that can be performed. A
stall should not only be cleaned daily,
but should be washed off with water,
provided the stable has good drainage
behind the stalls, and the floor covered
we'll with cut straw or dry leaves.

often the opportunity arises for the
purchase at public sales of such ma
terial and the farmer buys because the
article sells for little and may be of
use sometime. Money paid for such

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE BRONZY CUTWORM.
A Pest That Is Frequently Mstaken 4,
the Army Worm,

A Pest That Is Frequently Nfhtaken Tor
the Army Worm.
DIR. G. " Riley, In his last years re-
port of the division of entomology,
U. S. department of agriculture, calls
attention to the bronzy cutworm,
which he says is frequently mistaken
for the army worm. He found it in
April, 1871, feeding in numbers upon
clover in Missouri, and later in the
same season upon bluegrass in other
parts of that state, The same year it
Eas found at Ithaca, N, Y, and since
that time has been noted in different
places.
The moths make their appearance
during the months of August and Sep.
TENDER, the females laying eggs so that
the resultant larvae will have time to
feed and pass through two or more
molts before winter. The eggs have
not yet been specifically observed, and
we know nothing yet of the exact
mode and place of oviposition. The
partly grown worms hibernate under
sticks, stones and other rubbish, and
upon the opening of spring come forth
and feed upon grass and other low
growing plants until they reach full
maturity, The time when they enter the
ground to pupate varies from the first
of June to the end Of the same month,
and they remain in the ground some
time before transforming and issue as
moths, as just stated, from the first of
August on Though they feed in the
hot sun at midday, this is chiefly the
case with diseased worms, as normally
they are essentially nocturnal. In the
more southern states the species may
hibernate as moth, as 1t is frequent
ly captured in the winter. The very
young larvae are bright green, with
bare indications of the stripes which
characterize the large ones. The full.
grown larva is one of the largest of its
family, and is distinguished from all
others by the pale amber-colored head
and the bronzy hue of the body, the

How to Hitch n Horse.

One of the best methods of hitching
a horse that is uneasy, or has the habit
of paving In the stalls, is to pass rope
over small pulley and attach pound
weight to it, and fasten the halter into
a ring or loop on that rope upon the
inside of the stall, so that when the
horse stands up to the manger the
halter will lie drawn up short and the
weight rest upon the floor. When he
lies down the weight will come up
enough to give him all the rope neces-
sary. Some do this and have the hal
ter fastened to a ring upon the top of
head instead of under the jaw, and
when they desire to lead him out
by the halter pass the loose end down
through the other ring. American Cul.

A great table had been spread out of
doors, under the dropping elms that
had been slender treelets on that we'd
ding day fifty years ago.
The minister who had married them
was long since dead, but his son,
middle-aged dominic, had been pro-
cured for the occasion, and performed
the marriage ceremony with grace and
dignity,
Olive and John acted as bridesmaid
and groomsman, looking very happy at
the complete success of their innocent
conspiracy,
Congratulations and gifts were many.
The bridegroom seemed scarcely to
need the support of his handsomely
engraved gol1-headed cane, he felt so
young, despite his seventy-two years,
and stepped blithely and briskly about
among his guests with his slim little
wife upon his arm, smiling and happy
When the dinner was over David
pressed something into his fathers
hand-two tickets for the western city
in which his married son lived.

and the train leaves at four o'clock, IA
ther," he said, with characteristic
straightforwardness. "All you've got
to do now is to take your wedding
journey and enjoy six weeks honey

The other children gathered around
and laughed gleefully at the bewil-
dered Joy of the newly-wedded pair.
"lt's what I've wanted to do ever
sence Sam went west" the old man
said, quaveringly, and the tears stood
in his eyes, The mother only turned

of her tall Olive-and Olive kissed her
There were misty eyes all round, and
smiling faces as the carriage drove off
amid generous shower of rich and an
old shoe thrown by some one for good
luck. And as the guests dispersed,
after examining to their curiosity's con-
tent the array of substantial gifts, the
young folks at the farmhouse con-
graduated themselves and each other
upon the wonderful success of their
scheme.
As the train sped westward over the
shining rails, the little old bride sat in
queit happiness at her husbands side,
and looked at the flying landscape.
There was a sweet peace on the dear,
wrinkled face, and light of newer,
deeper tenderness in the blue eyes
behind the glasses.
People noticed how lover-like the old
man was in his attentions to the slim
little old lady by his side, and some

AN ENGLISH PREJUDICE.
A Contempt for Books that Should
Deplored by Every FnplIshman.

Dcplored by Every Englishman.
Almost the first thing which strikes q
foreigner in talking to Englishmen,
even of the best class, is the scarcely
yelled contempt with which they all
speak of book learning, was aston
ished once to find that gentleman
who had been mentioned with UNI
feigned respect as "a good man all
round" was not of high order of In
telligence. A fine rider, sportsman,
and cricketer, his accomplishments
were mainly physical English school
boys, am assured, think more of bod
lily strength and nimbleness, than of
study, and their heroes are not schol-
ars, or thinkers, or artists but athletes.
And their boyish and extravaganza cult
of the body is universal in England.
Almost every Englishman one meets
quotes with high approval the saying
which is ascribed to the duke of We'll
lington, that Waterloo was won on the
playing fields of Eton." Yet it is even
now scarcely doubtful that the Water
loos of the future, at least will
be won by the head rather than by the
arms and legs, useful as these are. And
what about the industrial battles of
our time? Some of the gravest short
comings of the English to-day can be
ascribed to the national contempt for
science, and learning and art. And as
science in our time is coming more and
more to rule industry, their contempt for
it is already handicapping them in the
race of life. A year or SO ago Mr..
Goschen delivered speech in which ne
exemplifled, in many ways the neces.
sity of education in our industrial civ
ilization. He drew attention to the fact
that German clerks were ousting Eng
lishmen from situations in the city sim
ply because they were better educated.
The Germans knowledge Of two or
three languages gave him the superior
ity. Mr.. Goschen showed, too, that
English trade with the continent and,
indeed, with all foreigners, is suffering
because English commercial travellers
are generally ignorant of the language
of their customers He dwelt upon the
value of technical education and de-
plored the rarity of technical schools
in Great Britain. But in spite of the
fact that the chancellor of the exche.
quer spoke wisely and with authority,
his words appear to have remained
without effect. -Fortnightly Review
