Japan In Need Of Re-JapannIng.

1t seems that the japanese are
growing aweary of barbarians and
their barbarOus ways. For 250 years
no European save an English sailor
and tiny Dutch colony on an island
desecrated their shores. Then came
Commodore Perry unloading models
of railways and other civilized apDli-
ances at Yokohama. with tie notice
that he would return in six months
to see how they liked them, and that
if they were unappreciatiye he would
blow Japan out Of the water And
then for thirty years the japanese de-
natiOnalized themselves with a
vengeance, even to the point OF top
hats and a House of Commons. But
now, because a native pilot has
brought an English steamer into col
lision with a japanese cruiser, the
Mikado is petitioned to expel every
Engllshman from the country. We
should not be sorry if the Mikado did
50 and excluded other Europeans in
the expulsion. The japanese need a

Yaunu Wasls Friet.

Young wasp grubs fried in butter do
not at first sight appear to be the most
alluriug dish in the world, yet they have
been pronounced delicious by those
hardy experimenters who have trici
them. Fed, as they are, upon the
sweetest juices drawn from fruits and
flowers, they naturally possess delicate
favor. Perhaps the best way to pre-
mare them is to bake them in the comb.
Incidental to experiments conducted
bv Government experts respecting the
edible qualities of insects, number oil
trials were made of beverage particu'
larly novel, which might be termed
"ant-ade."
A few hundred ants were crushed at a
time in a mortar with pe5tle, AMI the
liquid from them, after being strained,
wa, mixed, just like lemon Juice, with
water and sugar. The resulting beverage
resembles lemonade so closely al to be
scarcely distinguisiable from it.
The reason why is very easy to ex'
plain. Formic acid is the nelre 5. APP
proach to citric acid known to the
chemist. In fact there is little diter-
ence between them.
Awhile ago st. Louis caterer made
from grasshoppcrs a soup which was
pronounced delicious by many people
who were afforded an opportunity of
tasting it. 1t closely resembles bisque.
A learned professor treated some
friends of his on one occasion to curry
of grasshoppers and gras'hopper
croquettes, without informing them as
to the nature of the banquet, but an un-
lucky hind leg discovered in one OF the
croauettes revealed the secret.

TRANSATLANTIC TOMATOES.

Experiments of transplanting tomatoes
ut the New York Cornell Station are re-
ported by L. II. Beiey and L. c. Cor
bett as showing that leggy or drawn
plants set at the ordinary depth, and
one-half the stem layered and covered
in a shallow trench gave much larger
Yields than normal stocky plants started
and planted at the same time. Plants
which were sheared to make them stocky
were later than those that were trans
planted at the date of shearing. Plants
grown from seed of the first ripe fruit
of the kinds planted gave poorer yields
and no earlier fruit than plants grown
from sister fruits which ripened three
and one-half months later. No gain Is
secured By selecting seeds from first ripe
fruits and neglecting the character of
the plants. Killing tomato plants,
during two yeals, has given no favorable
results. Trimming the plants after they
had made good growth in the field was
not advantageous. For two years, single
stem training in the field gave decidedly
heavier yields to the square foot, and
the crop was earlier.-American Agri-
culturist.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
KEEPING COWS CLEAN.

Every one who has any experience in
a dairy, recognizes the difficulty that
there is in keeping cows clean. There
are many ways of arranging floors to this
end, for the collection of manure and
litter. Every dalryman worthy OF the
name knows the trouble attending this
necessary labor, and comprehends that
no matter how successful he may be in
this direction, that his COWS arc i'm
proved by carding and brushing. Even
with cows that are naturally clean, the
operation is beneficial and healthful 1t
affects the skin in a manner that no o her
process can accomplish. The COWS re-
spond to the treatment rs readily ts a
horse does to the brush aud curry comb.
Their response is found In the quantity
rendered to the milk pail after they have
been thus cared for. The trouble, time
and labor 50 bestowed is amply returned.

Too Duoh Money.

A leading paper In New England
State, discussing corrupt election
practices, strikes at the root OF the
trouble when it says:
"rhe fact is, both parties have too
much money"
What is admitted of that State is
unfortunately true OF many Others;
namely that shameful or rather
shameless, use Of money has come to
be a part OF every general election. :"
The same writer sadly puts the sug-
gestivc question: "lfyOtes are worth
$50 each, provided a man has no
character; if work is scarce, crops
poor, and children plenty and hungry,
what is going to become Of his char
acter?"
The story is told that at a recent
election one Of the parties polled in
a certain town a much larger vote
than usual On inquiry it was found
that some honest men in the party
who dislikcd the doubtful methods
of the Official committee had quietly
appointed an unpaid committee to
watch the other, to discountenance
bribery and to do legitimate election
work.
The amOuntOf selling out" was
greatly reduced, and the issue showed
that in politics as elsewhere, honesty
Is the best policy.
a noted example of the danger OF
"tOo much money" is given by the
Panama Canal scandal. OF nearly
three hundred million dollars received,
fraction only reached the men ac-
tuallY at work. Corrupt politicians,
contractors newspapers, and officials
absorbed the rest II the sum spent
in bribery could have been spent in
work, the canal would have been
much nearer completion to-day.
We are proud that the United
States has had no such gigantic
scandal as that now cOnvulsing
France; let US take care that "too
much money in politics does not
lead us in that direction. Youths

Tho Desire Of Many Prophets.

1t is touching to read how those
''wise old spirits" who preserved
natural religion IN the midst of
heather darkness used to yearn after
knowledge which the least in the
Kingdom of Christ may now POSSESS
and which we all value too little.
Plato quotes the following noble sen.
tence from a conversation with Soc.
rates on the evening Of his death:
"ln regard to the facts Of future
life, a man must either learn or find
out their nature, or, il he cannot do
that take, at any rate, the best and
least assailable of human words, and
borne on this as on raft, perform in
peril the voyage of life, unless he
should be able to accomplish the
journey with less risk and danger on
a surer yessel-some word divine"
Was not that ''word divine" here
wished for ''made manifest by the APP
pearing OF our Savior Jesus Christ,
who hath abolished death, and hath
brought life and Immortality to light
through the Gospel"
