Experience a Good Teacher.

In later years wisdom has been gained.
Experience has been cur teacher and light
mas been given US. Therefore We see
more clearly what should be- done. We
view life from di ferent point, and if we
seem to be urgent or younger people to be
more diligent, and to work for higher and
greater ends, 1t is not because we are out
OF sympathy with them, but because we
are nearer results and can take more
practical view The Workman.

Early Sweet Corn.

The small and early Varieties sof sweet
corn are always the most tender and sweet
and best for table use. For our own gar
den we have adopted the plan of planting
one of these (earIy Minnesota Is our pre-
ference) at regular intervals throughout
the spring and summer. By this means
we have excellent corn all through the
seas on.

Pop Corn.

Pop corn is good crop to raise when
rightly rails: dssand marketed. It should be
white, and the corn must, says a New
York paper, be a year old, free from mold
or mice odors. l. kept in mouse proof
bins ard brought into market in good
order it brings two, and even four times
the price Of field corn, anc: the yield is
nearer up to it than one would suppose, as
il can be planted much nearer. Il
should be we'll fertilzed, as the blade
starts slow and 1t does best planted IL
drills and hand hoed.

Training the Horse

One of the most important things in
training horse is to teach It to stand at
the void of command. Adopt some single
word to convey your order, and never vary
it. Then compel the horse to obey it fully
every time it is used. DO not use two
different words to convey the same mean
ing, nor attach different meanings to the
same word if you expect the horse to
learn and obey them accurately.

Oil Meal for HIilch Cows.

In feeding oil meal to mich cows one
should begin gradually with one-half coin
meal and increase until you reach two
parts of the former to one of the latter.
Watch the results closely, and so deter
mine the amount that may be fed with
profit. The steam-cooked linseed meal is
best.

Happiness is q sunbea "a which may pass

with double brightness. Happiness Is not

of Olive Oils.
The cultivation of the sunhower has be-
come an important industry in Southern
Russia, where it is grown chiefly for the
tasteless oil yielded by its seeds. This oil
is taking the place Of olive oils for domes-
tic purposes in that region. The pressed
seeds and the boiled leaves are utilized as
food for cattle, while the stalks make good
fuel. Like TIE eucalyptus, the sunfower
dries the soil an operates against malar-

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Unseen.

At the spring of an arch in the great north
tower,
High upon the wall is an angels head,
And carven beneath it lily flower,
With delicate wings at the side outspread.
They say that the sculptor wrought the face.
From the shrouded face of his promised bride;
And when he had added the last sad grace
To the features, lie dropped his chisel and died.
And the worshippers throng to the shrines be
low,
And the sight-seers come, with their curious
eyes;
But deep in the shadow, where none may know
Its beauty, the gem of his carving lies.
But at early dawn of a midsummers day,
When the sun is far 10 the north,
For the space of few short minutes there falls q
ray
Through an amber pane on the angels face.
. It was wrought for the eye of God and it seems
That Re blesses the work of dead mans hand
With the ray of the golden light which streams
On the lost that are found in the deathless
land.

Prof. Ayrton, the English electrician,
declares that ones first thought must be
that electricity cannot be made economical
for heating purposes, as the amount of
energy contained in board Ct trade unit

burning about I'D. worth of coal. The
electric heat. however, can be applied Just
where il is wanted, with a minimum OF

those of Prof Perry have shown that 1t

yesterday because of an unforeseen oc-
currence. The store is to be put in

venting the continuance sof the work

The Seasons Work at the Mile Track.


The grading of the mile track at Scar
boro Crossing has been completed; and
next season some great events may be
expected on it. Mr.. j. Malcolm Forbes,
the owner of Nancy Hanks and Arion,
and Mr.. Hamlin, the owner of the great
PAGER Hal Pointer, have already mani
tested an interest in the track. In fact,
so much so that MI. Forbes said to the
president of the association, MI. George
Burnham: "Whenever you get that track
of yours ready my stable is also ready"
And that includes Nancy Hanks, Arion
and so on. During the present autumn
there will be erected number of stables
for Mr.. George Burnham, MI. Pooler of
Skowhegan and others and club stable.
A general private stable will also be
erected this fall, with reception room,
cupola, &C., by Messrs Geo. NJ. Stan
wood, A. FL. Farnham. Alonzo Libby, G..
F. Loveitt, Ansel G.. Sawyer, Isaac c..
Atkinson, r. 81. Lewis, DR.. Lord, E. W..
Hunt, E. E. Cross, and several others.
It has been reported that c. Fl. Nelson
wishes to lease the track; but we are in
formed that it will not be let to him or
any one else.
It is thought that the decision of the
County Commissioners will be favorable
to the laying out of the new highway, in
which case the new track will be on one
of the finest drives in the country.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
A Nutmeg Match.

Clever little Annie Lewis, appeared as a
star for thefirst timein this city, atP Portland
Theatre last evening, in a new play writ
ten for her by William Haworth, author
of the 1.-THE Ensign called IA Nutmeg
Match,' the scene being laid in Connec-
ticut, the Nutmeg State, and the story
dealing with the affairs of love match
there. Homely and true pictures Of
Yankeedom are the chief features of the
play, and it abounds in skillful blend
ing of laughter and tears. A bit of re-
alistic coloring is also added in the pile
driving scene in the fourth act, where a
genuine steam pile-driver, with all the
accessories and mechanical effects, is
seen in full operation, the incident lead
ing UP to it's Introduction being the build
ing of a new dock at Huyler's Bend, on
the Connecticut river.
Miss Lewis, who is familiar as a come
dienne of talent as 'Cinders," displays
her capabilities to excellent advantage,
besides receiving the support OF COM
pany of merit. The principal charm of
Miss Lewis performance is the true
womanl1ness which she imparts to her
Characterization and the skill she exer-
cises in the manipulation of her role.
"Cinders'' is a wild. untutored girl, of
seventeen, who has been allowed to grow
up ON Connecticut farm much SIS she
pleased. No knowledge of the outside
world has ever been impaired to her; she
knows nothing of reading or writing, and
her only companions have been the rural
neighbors with whom she has lived. Still
she is endowed with the true instincts of
noble woman, uneducated, it is true,
but, withal, being with tender heart
and generous impulses. The audience
was quite enthusiastic last evening. The
piece will be repeated tonight.

ladies who will give regular minstrel

viSable to secure course seats now and
