We Build the Ladder.

Heaven is not reached at a single bound,
But we build the ladder by which we rise
From the l0wly earth to the vaulted skies.
And we mount to its summit round by reund.
count this thing to be grandly true,
That noble deed is a step toward God
Lifting the soul from the common sod
To purer air and broader view.
We rise by the things that are under our feet.
By what we have mastered of greed and gain.
By the pride deposed and the passion slain.
And the vanquished hills that we hourly meet
We hope, we aspire, we resolve, We trust
When the morning calls us to life and light.
But our hearts grow weary and ere the night
Our lives are trailing the sordid dust
We hope, we aspire, we resolve, we pray,
And we think that we mount the air on wings
Beyond the recall of sensual things,
While our feet still cling to the heavy clay,
Wings for the angels. but feet for the men,
We may borrow the wings to find the way,
We may hope, and aspire and resolve and
pray
But our feet must rise or we will fall again.
Only in dreams is a ladder thrown
From the weary earth to the sapphire walls
But the dream departs and the vision falls,
And the sleeper wakes on his pillow of stone
Heaven is not reached at a single bound,
But we build the ladder by which we rise
From the lOwly earth to the vauted skies
And we mount to the summit, round by round.

The statement that there $4,000 cases

1t is this desire of lime to revert lack
TO its original condition before the
limestone was burnt that makes it so
powerful as chemical agent, and it
also forms salts with other acids. The
benefits to the soil, therefore, are due
not only to the food value of the lime
but also to its energy in the soil. its
plentiful supply, its cheapness, com.
pared with other fertilizers, its easy
application and its lasting benefit to
the soil, should be inducements for
farmers to use it freely, applying from
ten to forty bushels per acre, according
to the character, and no season of the
year is more favorable for its applica.

THE RIGT WAY TO EAT GRAPES.

Children should be taught the ut
most care in eating fruit, that every
seed is rejected. 1t is said that in
grape countries the peasants teach
thelr children to eat merely the pulp
OF the grape, carefully avoiding the
seeds, and in some instances the skin
OF the fruit. There is no doubt that
the pulp and skin together is less de.
sirable than the pulp alone. 1t is easv
TO eat grape by pinching out their
interior, holding the outer covering
between the thumb and finger. A
great deal is said and written about
diet, but quite too little is heard of the
necessity for care that the indigestible
portions of the various articles of food
are not permitted to enter the stom.

The fall season of the year is the
time for applying lime to the soil. The
action of lime is slow, and as its ten
dency is to go down into the soil. it is
only necessary to broadcast it over the
surface of the land. There is no loss
OF ammonia when lime is applied over
manured land, as the soil itself arrests
and retains all gaseous matter, while

IN the soil are such as to more readily
convert them into plant food. 1t is of

positions, and it is safe to claim that
no fertilizer offered to farmers is desti-
tute of lime as one of its factors, and in
the form of phosphate of lime it is an
important ingredient of commercial
fertilizers.

LIME AS A STANDBY.
ALL PLANT LIKE IT AND ALL ARE
BENEFITED BY IT.

Chemistry has opened the way to a
knowledge of the requirements of all
crops grown on the farm, and the in.
telllgent farmer now understands that
there are special foods for the different
crops, and that plants will not thrive
II deprived of the proper elements
which they demand. It's as necessary
TO give each plant its particular foods
as TO feed the several kinds of live
stock according to their preferences.
AS corn is considered the cheapest and
best grain for stock, and as it is ac-
cepted by all classes, so is lime the
cheapest and most plentiful food for
plants, as it is rejected by none, and
enters into the composition of all the
varieties of plants grown on the farm.
There are special fertilizers that
may be prepared, and they vary ac-
cording to the condition of the soil and
the kind of crops to be supplied, but
the experience of the present time. as
as well as that of the past, has con-
frmed the claims in favor of lime as a
benefit to all kinds of soil and crops.
and that it is, to a certain extent. a
special fertilizer which may be used
without fear of loss, owing to its low
cost and the facility of its procural and
application. 1t changes the texture of
soils, rendering clay soils lighter and
assisting sandy soils to support some
crops that could not be grown upon
hem but for its aid.

A Child Without a Name.

A certain married pair, each blessed with
strength of will that some would call
obstinacy, found themselves the happy
parents about year ago of beautiful
baby boy. In due time christening was
decided upon, but, alas, it was impossible
to agree upon the name. The mother was
anxious to call the boy Percy, while the
father favored plain John. Neither would
yield nor permit double name, and after 8
spirited discussion at the last moment with
no result, the clergyman, who was an old
friend of the family, began the service
When the place was reached where the
name should be repeated, instead, the min
lister went on, ''Child of the covenant,
baptize thee" etc. The baby is still name

who call him ''Covey. Her Point o.

Faulty Hearing Not Incurable.

It is a common fallacy to suppose that
any dizziness of hearing is beyond the help
NJ the physician, and that, consequently,
nothing can be done for it. Slight dull
hess of hearing is often occasioned by a
catarrhal condition of the throat, which
dizziness gets better or worse as the condi-
tion of the membrane of the throat changes.
The great majority of cases of deafness, it
can be safely said, are not beyond improve
ment, or at least checking of the degen-
erative process.-Youth's Companion. ~
