Propping heavily loaded branches 0

Propping heavily loaded branches o1 fruit trees is generally unsatisfactory work. In many instances it does not prevent the breaking of the branches, as they are very apt to break of just at or above the prop. It is good rule never to prop sound, healthy limb, but thin out the fruit till no more is left on than the limb is able to sustain at maturity. Propping and tieing up should be left en- tirely for weakened trees and branches. It is not too late to pick off the surplus fruit now, although it would have been better done month ago.-[J. H. Hale in Courant.

While you work, stick steadily to what you have in hand, if you can. Nothing is more fatiguiDg than change of sub jects. It is horrible to have to write twenty letters, on twenty subjects, at one sitting. Yet this is what modern barbar- ism, with it's invention of the post, de- mands of us. Never work the brain when it is tired, if you mean to do good work. Never work the brain on intricate work after three in the afternoon, if you mean to sleep. Edward Everett Hale.

r China buttons for dresses are all the rage and every amateur china painter can have as pretty sets of these dress ornaments as her richer neighbor. A pretty faille dress of light brown, worn at day reception recently, was fasten' ed in front by two rows of very large white china buttons. They were tinted in the center pale blue-green shaded to white at the edges and small sprays oi tiny blossoms scattered over the surface. The edge had diamond pattern in gold and they were set in a cut-steel band. A set of buttons much smaller were worn on pale blue evening dress and decorat- ed with tiny yellow butterflies over ground the same shade as the dress. Al most any sort of decoration in miniature
 is suitable, as birds, butterflies, flowers, cupids, heads, etc. and tiny marine views on yachting suit would be quite pretty and appropriate. The buttons can be left white, slightly tinted, or colored as deep and dark as one desires.-[Chin Decorator,

Suppose an eclipse of our American and European civilization as complete as that of ancient Egypt, what would this pale faced people leave behind to tell how they lived? Our paintings and photo graphs would be gone, our metals cor roded or destroyed, an odd coin here and there might tell what our currency was like, but the Egyptian pyramids would still stand. The Egyptians were noble race and severe people and show their characteristics in the enduring fabrics of their works, as also in the forms and em- bellishments they employed. They erect ed vast and massive buildings, noble in the greatness of their power. The art of our future will be different and let us hope that it will be put into the imper- ishable as fast as possible that the thought of the present day may be pre- served. -,'~

The Poor Boys Reward.

: A poOF IrlSIt Idu 1au dCCumuldCeO 10 pounds (about $75) at Calcutta, when he got letter that his poor old mother in Ireland was in great distress and about to be sent to the poorhouse. He wanted to get home, but there was a great number of sailors in port, and he could get no employment on any vessel, l and finally determined to secrete him. 1 self on board a steamer about to sail, l and take the consequences of being a stowaway.
 | He was discovered when out at sea. and at first put in irons. When he was on the main deck the captain says to him,
 ''Youngster, the mate tells me that you have f15."
 "Yes, sir,'' says the boy. "Hand it over," says the captain. The boy turned white, but he pulled a little canvas bag from his bosom and gave it to the captain, who counted 15 sovereigns out of it.
 "Now this,'' he says, "won't pay your passage. You can go aft.''
 The youngster walked aft without a word, and from that minute until the vessel was off the coast of Ireland he hardly spoke at all; and some of the passengers who didn't know his story said he was going home to die; he dropped and looked so pale and weak.
 It was an awful night that saw us of the shore of Londonderry. A dead lee shore it was, and the steamer had brok- en her shaft and was drifting on to it. We could hear the waves breaking near us, and we had passed the light that we should have been making for.
 'sMr Reynolds,'' said the captain to the mate, as they stood together on the bridge, "well be on the rocks in half an hour.'
 "Seems so, sir," said the mate. He had not liked the captain since the boy money was taken from him in the Bay of Bengal.
 The water was too deep to let go an anchor, even if one could have held, which it couldn't in the gale. Enough head sail had been set to keep the steam CT from broaching-to, but all hands saw that as things were going she would soon be on the rocks.
 Suddenly the captain started as some one touched him on the shoulder. The youngster was standing beside him.
 Fl was born on this coast, sir, ''he said, very slow, ''and know every rock on ;t T oho ho port bow. We'll soon be off it. Shall I take you imp
 ''If you think you can,'' says the skip per, ''do. It don't make much differ ence," he says, turning to the mate, ''for we're bound to go ashore anyhow. I'll give him the wheel"
 The youngster took the wheel and headed her, so at least it seemed to all of us, for where the breakers sounded loudest. The big fellow that helped him was told to do just as the lad order ed him. It was ticklish time for all hands. But all at once the rocks seem- ed to open in front, and the steamer ran through passage not 50 yards across, smooth water.
 Next morning the skipper said to the boy,
 "Here's your s15 and here's an order on the owners for s1OO which they will pay you for saving the ship.''
 The lad got the money, paid his moth- er's rent, and gave her snug sum for housekeeping and he and I have been shipm ates pretty nigh ever since. That's him calling me now," concluded the boatswain, pressing the fire out of his pipe with his thumb, as he went on deck to muster the men for Sunday service.

 The building committee of the Congre gational society held meeting, Mon. day afternoon and accepted plans for a new church of Architect c. s. Mulloy ot Bridgeport. The new church will be the same size on the ground, but not as high as the old one, will stand only two feet from the ground and will be built Gothic style, with the tower and steeple on the southeast corner, instead of in the middle, as in the old one. It will be ar ranged inside with a parlor and prayer meeting room, which can be thrown into the auditorium, if desired. As soon as the plans are fully completed, which will be in a few days, the committee will advertise for bids for it's construc- tion. It is estimated that the building alone, without any furnishings or bell, will cost about $3200 and it is calculated to seat 240 persons. The amount all ready subscribed is reported as $500. The largest single subscription yet re- ported being that of Mrs Sarah Nichols, $5OO.

 l ike the idea of the general celebrat- ion of the discovery of America being handed over to the public schools. It is going to be very advantageous thing for our country. It will work to make | the generation of citizens who are now in the schools both patriotic and intelli- gent upon the most vital thing in Ameri- can life. History will be looked up :; questions will be asked; teachers will be animated; interest at home will be awak- ened and the press of the country will add it's powerful influence in the general ed- ucation of the people relative to the meaning of the discovery of America. Besides, an intelligent love of country will be stimulated among the children. It seems to me there is need of always mak- ing the sentiment of patriotism take a practical direction; otherwise it is likely to evaporate and mean nothing. When children can be taught why our flag is glorious and why our country is worth SO much, that is long step toward making patriotism intelligent. So I see in this celebration both educational and patriot
 
 enormous value to the public school it. self. The importance of our system of free education is not fully recognized. It will not receive it's proper recognition un- til the people are made to appreciate how much this country owes to enlighten- ment which has flowed from the public school. But the speeches and newspaper articles on this occasion will make the people recognize the indebtedness of America to universal education, as noth- ing else ever has. The more general the celebration can be made, the better for education; and that means the better for enlightenment, and progress of our coun- try's happiness.-[Se Senator Jo. .Hawley.
 Thomas Bailey Aldrich has poems in three American magazines for July. This is an unwonted amount of poetical con- tribution from writer who has been rather sparing of literary production of recent years. The pieces are all of a high order of poetical merit, and have more of the popular element than is found in most modern American poetry. Now that Emerson and Longfellow and Low ell have ceased to write, and Whittier and Holmes may not be expected to con- tinue many years in the future, Aldrich and Stedman are as likely to prove their successors in the first rank as any poets that American literature has developed. Both of them are exceedingly careful in their productions and allow nothing to appear in print from their muse except | after highly artistic elaboration.-[Bo Bos- ton Herald.

Manhood.

| In the exposition that is to be held in Chicago, we are not only to exhibit grand manufactures and plowshares and steam 1 engines and models of architecture. These are very fine to look at, but what is the exhibition that America ought to make in vindication of her institutions ? What is the proudest exhibition she can make? It is that highest and noblest of all machines-man. Let us see what manhood is in America, and let it be il- lustrated in the observance of that which is high, holy and sanctifed and exalted.
 We are so broken down in this day in our greed for money and material show and development, and after drum beating and drum sounding and flag flying, that the men who lie at the bottom of the pyr- amid of society are forgotten. What I would have Chicago to exhibit, when it exhibits the specimens of American gen. jus and of American inventions, is the highest example and the highest speci mems of manhood. After all, man is a machine that is far beyond an importance to all the inventions of Arkwright, or from that day to this.
 Give us manhood and let it be illustrat- ed there by the observance of such laws as will let the world see and know and believe that here is a God fearing and God loving people, worshiping Him inl truth and in sincerity, molding their homes and raising their children so that they may be patriots and Christians when they shall come to assume the re- responsibilities of manhood. .-C Senator Col quilt of Georgia.

Subscribers Wanted.

Hon. Warren Smith took Oc-
casion, in his speech before the
Republican mass-meeting Mon
day, to say that the Republican
party was more progressive
party than the Democratic party,
and cited certain localities that
contained good school houses,
clean fence corners and evidences
of thrift as being localities where
Republicans predominated, and
cited localities where poor school
houses and general bad state of
affairs existed as being localities
where Democrats predominated.
1t is of no consequence to us
whether or not this statement be
true, but the point we want to
make is, that out of all the Repub.
licans who stood up before that
meeting and asked support for of.
fee, only one is subscriber to
this paper. 1t is true that we
have good list of subscribers
and one that we appreciate very
much, but VIC have not yet as
many as we desire and we urge,
in order to increase our subscript.
ion list and benefit the public gen.
orally, that in this instance the
Republicans in Hardin county put
none but progressive men on
duty. And we insist that all pro.
gressive men read their county
paper.
In this connection we do not
claim that Democrats are more
liberal in their patronage than Re-
pulicans, as we readily confess
that we do not know the compex-
ion of our list. What we want is
subscribers and we want large
number of them right now.

Reeds Rulings.

The last House Of Representa-.
tives adopted a rule by which the
Speaker was allowed TO count
members present as part of the
quorum required by the Constitu.
ton in the passage of bills, al
though those members refused to
vote. The Democratic side of
the House, being in the minority
and opposed to the rule, carried
ii to the United States Supreme
Court and in a recent decision the
court unanimously held the rule
to be a proper one, and this action
of the court establishes the prin'
ciple that a member who is pres.
ent may be counted as forming n
part of q quorum, whether he
votes or refuses to do so.
An effort was made in the pres
ent House to adopt the same rule
during the consideration Of some
questions, notably, the Bland free
coinage bill-but the committee
refused to so report.
The adoption of the rule men.
toned by the last Congress was
without a precedent so far as that
body is commemorative rule had
been adopted in the New York
aud perhaps other Legislatures,
prior to that tilne-but the hold.
ing of the Supreme Court, and
that unanimously, that the ruling
was proper, will no doubt bring it
into general use in the near fu-
ture. The last Congress being
Republican when the rule was
adopted, and the present one be-
ing Democratic, nearly all of
whom opposed it then, cannot af.
ford to adopt such rulings now.
OF course any rule that is good
for Legislative body could not
be worse for one party, as a party,
than for the other.
The exact truth of the matter is
that it shuts the minority out from
preventing the passage OF meas.
ures by not voting, and allowing
the majority to pass bills regard
less of the minOrity's opposition.
The party in power should always
be held responsible for the acts
of it's trusted ones and given un-
bridled sway it is sure to reap its
reward for their conduct, let it be
either good or bad.
The Republican party suffered
great loss two years ago in the
election of Congressman. For
that loss the writer permits every
one to draw his own conclusion,
and what the result of the cam.
paign of this year will bring about
no one can fOretell.
One thing about the Legislative
bodies of the country is plain to
the thinking man, that the free
use of money controls them to a
great extent.
