besides as many more for parents,

children eat,when they are hungry, and
because they are hungry; don't create
false appetites by providing dainties for
them at unreasonable times; hungry
child will enjoy substantial piece of
bread and butter more than slice OF
cake or piece of pie; and if he refuses
the bread, rest assured he is in no need
of food, and can wait until dinner"

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
A Heroic Act.

The late Nicholas Devereux Of
Charleston, S. c., though gallant SOL
der at all times, was remembered
chiefly for one brief act of daring dur
ing the defence of Charleston harbor.
After the confederate flag had been
shot away from Fort Sumter, Sergeant
Devereux replaced it under terrific
fire from the Union batteries, and then
he walked to the edge of the ramparts
and in mock politeness lifted his cap to
salute the enemy while their cannon
shot and shell were falling tbickly about
him. Devereux remained till his death
an unreconstructed" rebel.

Chocolate and Cocoa.

These drinks are not in such general
use as tea and coffee, and have been
thought by many to be unhealthful, on
account of their richness. But of late
years much has been said commenda-
tory of them as daily drink, one writer
even going so far as to state that choco-
digestion, and, used by the overtaxed
brain worker will supply, in measure,
the waste mental force. How true this
is we do not know, but can sffirm that
a cup of well. brewed chocolate is ex-
ceedingly good to take. OF cocoa there
are many brands sold, and the ease with
which it can be prepared is its greatest
recommendation but it seems to us a
good deal like the gasoline stove, a sort
Of makeshift, and if cup of well-made
chocolate we're offered beside one of
cocoa, we think the former would in all
cases take the precedence. To our
taste cocoa has raw flavor, as if it
needed just little more cooking; and
as it is not cooked at all, but simply is
made by pouring over it boiling milk or
water, of course it has an unfinished
taste. When you wish cup of choco-
idIe, tIy tulS way VI MAKING. w 10
many cups of milk on the fire to boil as
you wish; for every two cups of milk

your chocolate paste until smooth. Let
it boil three minutes, then pour into
cups into which Jumps of sugar are
placed and lay on top of each cup a
spoonful of whipped cream; then set
down and drink at your leisure, and you
will unite with all saying it is good

An Old Mans Dream.

I'd rather laugh a bripht-haired boy

Tear out life's wisdom-written page
And dash Its trophies down.
One moment let my life blood stream
From boyhood's fount of flannel
Give me one giddy, Keeling dream
OF life all love and fame
My listening angel heard the prayer
And calmly smiling said

Thy hasty wish had sped.
" But is there nothing In thy track
To bid thee fondly stay.
While the swift reasons hurry back
To find the wished for day."

Slow Accommodations Safest.

1t is probably true that compare
lively few millionaires ever owe their
wealth to their direct gains from the
farm. Yet, agriculture is the basis
of most Of our national wealth, and
the part retained by farmers though
not large in any one case is enormous
in the aggregate. So long as the
farmer is making a moderate per
cent. on his capital and using his
labor to keep himself and. family he
is on the high way to competence If
not to wealth. The increase of money
at interest is common subject of
mark. But that interest gain is
quite as real and even more safe if
put in the farm, instead of being de-
posted in bank or loaned to those
who may never be able to pay, how
ever willing they may he.

Make the Turkeys Paw.

Turkeys receive but very little at
tention from farmers after they have
passed the critical stage. This is a
mistake. To get the most money
out of turkey it should be kept
growing and pushed to an extreme
weight 1t is the weight that tells
in turkey, and the difference of
three or four pounds is quite an item.
In fact, where there is a large flock
the difference of pound weight in
each amounts to quite sum. Tur-
keys secure great portion of their
food at this season, owing to
there being plenty of insects and to
say nothing of grass, seeds, etc, but
if given good feed of a mixture of
oats, corn, and wheat when they
come up to the house to roost at night,
they will give good results in growth.
About two weeks before marketing
the turkeys, they should be fed all
the corn morning and night that they
will eat, and a mixed food should be
furnished as we'll. The better plan
is to first keep them growing so as to
secure the size and frame upon which
to place the meat at the proper time.
At times insect food in the fields IS
scarce, and in that case mess of
chopped meat once or twice a week
will be an advantage.

The Democratic War on Pen.
SiOnS.

The Democratic war on the pen.
sioners has begun in dead earnest,
and desperate attempt will be made
In the House to carry out the process
Of "purging" the rolls for which the
Democratic press have been clamor-
Ing ever since Cleveland's election to
the Presidency on Nov. last. The
amendments to the pension appro-
priation bill submitted by Mr.. Mulch
Ter, of Pennsylvania, leave no doubt
as to the intentions of the Democrats
who control the legislation of the
House. These amendments, in addi-
tion to transferring the Pension
Bureau from the Interior Depart
ment to the War Department, pro-
vide: first, that all pensions for dis
abilities shall be uniformly rated, and
that hereafter all pensions granted
under the dependent act of 1890
shall be rated upon the inability Of
the pensioner to earn a living by
manual labor; second, that after July
/, 1893, no pension shall be allowed
to person under the provisions of
chapter 634 of the act of 1890, who is
able to perform manual labor, and
whose income is $500 or more per an
mum; and. third, that after July /,
1893, no pension shall be paid under
any general law to the widow Of a
soldier of any war unless said widow
shall be able to show that she was
married to said soldier within five
years after the close of the war in
which he served. This indicates
very clearly that the Democrats pro-
pose to make the pension list roll Of
dishonor rather than one of merit.
They would deny pension to every
man, no matter what his merit and
bravery on the field, and give to only
those who are willing to prove under
oath that they are paupers, and de-
pendent upon governmental charity
for support. -Cleveland Leader.

Two Blades OF Grass Should Grow In
Place Of One Every Time-Few Million
aires Among Farmers - Advantages of
the Side-Hin Plow.
Commercial Fertilizers.

Every day it is becoming more ap-
parent that by the employment of in
dustrial manures, suited to the vary
ing character of the soil, two blades
of grass can be made to grow where
only one grew before. Farmers by a
modest outlay upon complementary
fertilizers, can now double their
wheat and hay yield. Indeed the as
sertion might be safely made, that
good as is barnyard manure it's eff
cacy is enhanced when associated
with the phosphates, nitrate of soda,
and the ammoniacal salts. In the
science of agriculture it ought to be
ever borne in mind that general
ideas have only a relative value serv-
ing as the starting point for individ-
ual experiment, and adapted to local
conditions. No universal panacea
exists in agriculture any more than
in medicine, and those who pretend
the contrary are simply charlatanS
1t is singular fact that at present
when the proftableness of the super
phosphateS for the betterment of the
soil has been demonstrated, their
prices never were so low as just now,
and the demand for them small.
With the impulse given to fruit
and vegetable farming, must follow
the employment Of commercial ma
nures. These two branches of cul-
ture bring in handsome returns; in
zones round large cities the soil has
been so saturated with farm yard ma
nure, that cuItivators to bring out
the fertility of the land, have fallen
back on mineral superphosphate, the
best medicament when the arabic
soil suffers from plethora of organic
matter. Strange that up to the pres
ent, gardeners have concentrated all
their attention on the production of
new varieties of fruits and vegetables,
leaving the land to dwindle into I'M
prOductiveness from an excess of IN
assimilable plant food. According to
the last decennial statistics, pub
lfshed in 1882, France has LOTS, 900
acres under vegetab e; three-fourths
of this total area represent the part
utilized for the farmers own wants.
The value of the products raised is
estimated at one milllard of francs.
There are further, 2,125, 900 acres ex-
elusive of vineyards under orchards,
edible chestnuts, olives, etc. The an
nual value of apples and pears, for
consumption or conversion into cider
and perry, is fixed at 10000, 1000 of
francs. and for other tree fruits at |
third more.

Keep the Potatoes Assorted.

Potatoes in cellars are subject to
many changes of temperature, and
freezing cold is perhaps the one that
is most guarded against. If not looked
after closely the temperature will go
up too high, and not only will the
eyes start, but heating and rotting
may begin. This is the most COM
mon cause of malarial diseases in
country homes in winter. Keep the
potatoes assorted, and if the air seems
close and moist, ventilate freely;and
sprinkle the cellar floor with lime to
absorb the superfluous moisture.

DRIFTING OUT.
By HUGx RUSSELL.

Evermorewe are drifting out with the ceaseless
tide,
And we dream OF a bound to the ocean-a home
on the other side;
That somewhere there Is q Gilead sweet with
the healing balm,
And the storm may rage, but the rainbow Is
arched in the skies of calm,
Windeth the river weary, through forests no
man hath trod,
Where the darkness is shut from the shining
Of the lamps in the windows Of God:
But out from the gloom it flashes in the light OF
the dav to be-
And ninsles its lonely waters with the mother
tides of the sea.
We are not hopeless, Observation-Disclosures our
feet may roam,
WeareHofng like children to the gates of q
fathers home;
And though dark be the way and dreary, when
life with its storms is past
We shall enter in at the portals and rest in the
light at last.

advantage for hillsides that the land
