A SEAMAN'S WIT.
The Ship Carpenter Makes an Alarming
Discovery.

Discovery.
There is a certain naval officer who has
on several occasions come very near rem
dering himself immortal as a wit, al
though those who know hin, best say that
a sense of humor is not his most cOnspic-
uaus quality.
he Is carpenter by rank, and as such
it is duty % sound the ships well at 8
o'clock every evening and report the depth
of water in the bulge One night, when
the ship was cruising near ocky coast,
the sounding rod revealed about wo feet
of water smashing about the blIges, The
carpenter made note of the fact, and
shortly after he had reported the result of
his investigation the engineer started the
steam pumps, and in a few minutes the
ship was pumped dry. An hour or so
later the ship went ashore and lii the ex-
element and confusion that folowe the
first lieutenant found time to end a mes
senger to the carpenter ordering lin to
sound the well Immediately and report.
The carpenter dropped the sounding rod
into the tube, and drawing it up again,
looked In CONSERVATION at its unwet sur
face.
"Where!'' he ejacusated, worse than |
thought ="

asked the impatient messenger.
Never mind I'll report in person."
said the carpenter, and climbing mp the
bridge where the executive was shouting
orders, he solemnly impaired the infor-
nation that the ship had big whole
stove in her bottom
"Great Scott! is that sop exclaimed
the officer, as he couutermained an order

''True as You i've" said the carpenter.

FARM AND HOME.
THE BOOK OF THE WORLD.

Alone and quiet one still afternoon
Beside the placid margin of q lake,
/ read an ancient Buddhist. His pen spake
OF change succeeding change, till like tune
whose early buetnen sings again full soon,
That which 1s passed returns again to make
An endless chain of being, without break,
Round as the clear, white circle of the moon.
Pondering long such dreamy eastern lore,
And taught by inner voices all the day
The silent world itself became my book,
Within whose pages lay such wondrou5 store
OF earthly, heavenly wisdom, that pray
Foreyermore upon the leaves TO look.
There little bird in jealous quest,
VI slIken feathers, that she might impair
The slender mansion swinging lightly, where
Her caIIoW, half-groWn fedgIngs had their
Later 1 found the mother gone to rest.
Within that perfect palace of her care,
And noticed how, with every breath of air
Arose and fell her softly rounded breast.
Then fell the night, while all the glory passed
Vi daylight dying from the opal sky.
AS nights all blending shadows hid the broad
Quintescent world, it seemed as though the vast
But gentle sequence slowly sweeping by
Were but the passing of the breath of God.
Thus day will follow night, and darkness day.
And none say the course OF light Is run,
Even wneE night is blacklist the great sun
Swings nearer with the morning in his ray.
Thus the long year whirls round an endless
way
Which, being ended, only is begun,
When winter scarcely dreams of being done,
White-bosomed spring has banished winter gray.
This year Is but a larger day and night
Wherein the earth herself with constant change,
Hath daily toll, like US, and daily rest.
Why seek the Arctic circle, where the light
And dark of one day fill the whole years range?
There shall the visible fact reward your quest,
White bosomed spring awake at years first

Battles in the rains and sees the polished sky
Reflect her cleaning beauty. Bathing by
She gowns herself In green, till all the morning.

And summer time, the years noon, is nigh.
Then may the swallows see, from where they fly,
Fair broidered flowers upon her kirtle drawn.
Richer and richer as the great day goes
Doth all the vesture of the earth appear.
Till evening, when, with gold and crimson bright,
She wearies of her toilsome day; and throws
Aside her queenly raiment for the clear,
Delicious, dainty snow her sable of night.
SO spring to spring will evermore succeed
AS breath succeeds breath, as day to day,
Wherein the living and the life giving ray
OF morning falls upon the well sown seed
And whispers magic messages, to lead
The slender growing grain the heavenly way
And bring the field to autumn s brave array
Of serried harvest, ripe to heal mans need.
But if one seed be chosen and you trace
Its life to full fruition, and then on
Through the still night of winter, to the spring
Returning, you will witness, by Gods grace,
The ever -circling life is launched upon
The journey of an overwhelming ring.

Raspberry Culture

A. NJ. Purdy says: There is everything
In starting right in growing this fruit
successfully and proftabIy. Too many
persons allow the young, newly-set plants
to grow helterskelter. when what is most
needed is checking the new growth in
season. Plants set In the spring should
have their new shoots nipped off at tip
ends, when not exceeding one foot in
height, and, as the side branches grow,
nip these off at tlp-ends when one foot to
fifteen inches long. If a year old, allow
them to get two feet Ill height and length
when nipped off, and if set closely TO-
gether in lows, the rows form a perfect
hedge; when thus trimmed the rows
can be set so much nearer together. Then
throw under the bushes a good, heavy
mulch, and keep the cult
vator going between them. and our
word for it you will not lack for full
crops of fruits for many years. To
those who have old plantations of black
berries and raspberries, see TO it in
July or August that the new growth does
not not shoot up too tall and spindling,
but nip of at the tip ends when not more
than three feet high. We have become
satisfied that whether red raspberries are
grown by the hill or row system, too
many stalks must not be allowed to grow
Too many stalks or suckers viii make any
red sort almost worthless. Red raspber-
ries should be grown so as to be worked
both ways allowing three to FIVE stalks in
the hill, according to size and sickness.
We find when grown in hedge.rows the
berries are not so large and fine as those
grown in hills, and are not so easily
picked. OF course they can be planted
quite close together-say, for instance,
four and one-half to FIVE feet each way
and if nlpped back when growing they
require no stakes. Grown thus in hills,
and each year a small forkful of manure
thrown against each hill, plantation will
last from IS to 20 years if the old wood is
cut out every wear.

FARM NOTES.

Raise as many chickens as possible,
and as early as possible. They represent
so much money.
Now that the weather is cold, corn
should be made the principle article in the
ration. Do not keep the store hogs any
longer than is necessary. The colder the
weather the more food required.
Poultry raising and fruit growing go
we'll together. A poultry yard located IN
the center of an orchard is a very appro-
pirate arrangement. Poultry will destroy
great many insects.
If your apples are not keeping well,
SORT out the best at once and pack them
in chaff. Then, if any of these begin to
rot, the chat will absorb the juices and
prevent the rot from affecting the rest.

How and When to Prunc Trees.

When a tree has more leaf buds than it
properly can take care of the best thing
to do is to reduce their number. If all
are allowed to grow, with not enough
food for them all, they will act precisely
as dense growth of wteds-smother and
retard But the great mistake often made
is IL pruning at the wrong time of the
year. If the needles buds are cut out in
spring the few that are left will grow
vigorously, but if the pruning is perform
ed after the shoots have started and are
growing it will give check instead of aid
ing the tree. Hence the general rule-to
aid growth prune the buds swell; to check
it, prune in the midst of growth.
In performing any work in pruning it
is important to understand distinctly what
is wanted. 1t may be merely the removal
OF small and crooked shoot; preventing
one-sided growth of the tree; preventing
a struggling form and giving more sym
metry. With a distinct object in view,
it will often happen that much less cutting
away Will be required than merely re.
duction of the form of the tree. Heavy
pruning Is, in nearly all cases, needless
pruning. Country Gentleman

MESDING THE DIR FLAG.
WILL CARLTON .

In the silent gloom of garrett room,
With the cobwebs round ii creeping,
From day to day the old flag lay
vet'ran worn and sleeping;
Dirty, old, each wrinkled fold
By the dust of years was shaded,
Wounds of the storm were upon It's form,
The crimson stripes were faded
Twas q rnournful sight in the dim twilight,
This thing of humble seeming
That once so proud Ger the chreering crowd
Had carried its coIoTs cleaning;
Stained with mold were the braids of gold
That had flashed in the sun rays kissing;
Of faded hue was the field Of blue,
And some of the stars were missing.
Three northern maids and three from glades;
Where dreams the southland weather,
With glances kind and their arms entWlDed,
Came up the stair together.
They gazed awhile with q thoughtful smile,
At the crouching form before them;
With clinging holds they grasp its folds,
And out Of the darkness bore them.
They healed its scare, they found it's stars
And brought them altogether
Three northern maids and three from glades,
Where smiles he southland weather:
They mended away through the summer day,
Made glad by an inspiration
To fling IL high at the smiling sky
On the birthday Of our nation.
In the brilliant glare of the summer air,
With the brisk breeze ronnd it creeping,
Newly bright through the glistening light,
The flag went grandly sweeping:
Cleaning and bold were the braids OF gold,
And flashed in this sun rays kissing,
Red white and blue were of the deepest nue.
And none Of the stars were missing.

Apple Butter.

A prerequisite Of good apple butter is
cook apples. Prepare as for ordinary APP
pie sauce and in quantity as desired. A
good rule is to have equal amounts of cider
and apples. Boil the cider three or four
hours before beginning to put in the ap-
pies and add fresh apples as fast as the
sauce boils away. 1t is necessary to keep
up constant stirring until all the apples
are reduced to pulp. Then add sugar to
taste; no definite rule can be given for
this as many prefer acid sauce and others
like it very sweet. Towards the last con-
slant stirring is needed or it will stick to
the bottom of the kettle and burn. For
sauce to be kept all winter, heat earthen
jars very hot, ELL with the boiling butter
and at once cover with cloths dipped in
melted beeswax. Two quart, self sealing
glass bottles are good.

Good society and plenty of it is not only
an educating influence, it is refining in
the truest sense of the word. It is the
most available and successful means of
culture. 1t is in society that we find most
opportunities, outside of the family circle,
of rubbing off the rough corners of our
individuality. Persons whose sole society
is at home have more noble opportunities
for the cultivation of character than can
be found anywhere else, but in every fam
lily that lives wholly IN itself there is a
constant tendency to tensify peculiarities
