A Union temperance meeting was

A Union temperance meeting was
held last Sunday evening in the
Congregational church. 1t was con-
Quoted by the w. C. T. U. and the
collection was for the Worlds w. G.
I. U. Mrs. c.. ID. Parker presided,
Mr.. Cressey read a portion of the
Scriptures and offered prayer, Mr..
Grinnell in well chosen words spoke
of woman's work, Miss Frye and
Mr.. Bradford made short but good
Christian temperance addresses.
Mrs. Parker referring to the fear
that had been expressed that the
meeting would interior with the
evangelistic meetings recently held,
said / hope all such fears will be
laid aside. The woman's christian
temperance Union are working for
every goal, for the uplifting of
humanity, for the purity of our
homes, for the purity of the ballot,
and for the publication of our nation.
We are sending missionaries to
nearly all parts of the earth, not
only to spread the gospel, but to
counteract the evil influence of al
coholic drinks, sent them by chris
tan nations. Oh that the church
and the w. G. L. U. might be
brought nearer together, that they
might work hand in hand for the
suppression of the liquor traffic
since it is the giant evil which is
standing in the way of the coming
of Gods Kingdom. Mrs. Weld
made a short collection speech
which resulted in quite little sum
being given for the Worlds w. c..

Tozer at the organ gave some fine
music. Throw out the Life Line"

The County Convention of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union met in the Congregational
church of this place Wednesday
afternoon at half past two o'clock.
A very helpful devotional exercise
was led by Mrs. Campbell the State
President. Owing to the bad state
of the weather there were few
present. The program was carried
out and the convention adjourned
until evening when they met for the
evening session. A few minutes
after s O'Clock Mrs. Weld called the
meeting to order. After the singing
of a duet by Mrs. Powell and Mr..
Pratt, with Mrs. Tozer at the organ,
Mr.. Grinnell offered a prayer, and
Mrs. Marshall made an impromptu
address of welcome. This was
followed by another duet, after which
Mrs. Weld introduced the lecturer,
Mrs. Campbell, who spoke for over
an hour, forcibly on the question of
social purity, she strongly urged the
necessity of having one standard of
right and wrong for both sexes.
Her words made deep impression
on her audience which was small,
owing to the rain. Mrs. Campbell
is a fine speaker and it is to be re-
GREETED that more people could not
have heard her.

How pine Novels Are Made.

One of the most interesting things
about dime novels and summer litera.
ture is the way they are made. There
is an establishmentin New York which
prints. five Thousand novels an hour.
They have n machine consisting of two
cylinders. on each of which one hum
dred and forty-four pages may be
screwed, and as the long strip of paper
goes through first one side is printed
and then the other, making it possible
to print two hundred and eighty-eight
pages at every revolution. The strip
of paper, after being carried over
rollecs which dry the ink, is cut, folded
anu brought together in the shape of a
small volume, with the edges all
trimmed. Every time the great cyl
inder goes around n novel is printed,
folded and trimmed, and five thousand
of these are turned out every hour,
while if it were necessary, seven thou
sand or eight Thousand might be the
quota, The covering does not take
long, fifty being the average for a min
ute. The paper costs nearly five times
as much as the printing and mounts as
high as two cents a novel. The whole
cost for the mechanical construction oi
these books is not more than three
cents apiece. The most laborious part
is in the writing and reading of them

TWO GOOD CooPS.

One Is Made from Rough Lumber, the
other from n Barrel.
Fig shows a cheap coop, made from
rough lumber. 1t is 3 feet long, IA
inches wide and 80 inches high. To
build the eoop, nail the end boards to-
gether at the top; this will make an A.
shaped frame. Then nail the bottom
board at each of the ends, and the bot
tom and ends are complete. Side up
the backs all but - inches of the lower
part and then cut board the desired
width and length and fasten it by
hinges to the portion above. This gives
door the whole length of the coop,
and is useful for cleaning the coop and
catching the chicks.
The front is boarded down to within
12 inches of the bottom, and the re-
mainder is covered with lath, and pro-
vides for the chicks space to run out
and in the coop. There should be one

allow the hen to pass in and out when
desired.
For ventilation there are four one
inch holes on each side just below the
peak. To close the chicks in the coop,
stand 12-inch board on it's edge and
place stick against it. This will also
keep out the rats
Fig. shows a coop made out of a
salt barrel. To build this, just nail all
the hoops tight to the staves then cut
out about one-third of the head and
slaves. This gives fat bottomed coop
with circular roof For the front,
nail on laths about ia inches apart,
but have the center one slide. so as to
allow the hen to pass through. The
slide on both coops can be made by
mailing lath over the center one at
the top and bottom, to allow it to slide
between the coop and other laths.
These coops should be whitewashed
at least once every three weeks and
cleaned every week. l have been using
the barrel coop for three years and find
it a cheap and serviceable one, but if
the ground is damp a board should be
placed beneath it to keep the chicks
dry. To close the coop, do as in No. l.
Place the coops so as to face the south,
and when the breeding season is over
clean them thoroughly and whitewash
and store them in building so as to
have them ready for next season.

CULTIVATION of the soil to kill weeds
is poor cultivation, but to cultivate so
thoroughly that weeds do not grow, is
the science of gardening and farm

DO NOT think the garden made when
the seeds are sown. There is always
something to be done until frost has
killed the plants, and after that the

year.
A SLIGHT mulching of newly-cut
grass on the lily beds will materially
increase the size of the flowers and
keep them from premature decay, be
cause it keeps the soil moist and cool.
The same will apply to beds of an

HEROES EVERY ONE.
Soldiers who Gave Up Their Lives to saw,
Their Flag.


There are two instances Of noble
courage, the reading of which should
stir the blood of every American. One
occurred at fredericksburg, on the day
when half the brigades of Meagher and
Caldwell lay on the bloody slope lead
ing up to the confederate intrench-
ments.
Among the assaulting regiments was
the Fifth New Hampshire, and it lost
one hundred and eighty-six out of three
hundred men who made the charge.
The survivors fell back behind fence
within easy reach of the confederate
rific-pits. just before reaching it the
last of the color guard was shot, and
the flag fell in the open.
A captain, Perry, instantly ran out
to rescue it, and as he reached it was
shot through the heart; another cap
tain, Murray, made the same attempt,
and was also killed, and so was third,
Moore Several private soldiers met a
like fate. They were all killed close
to the flag, and their dead bodies fell
across one another.
Taking advantage of this breastworlz,
Lieut.. Nettleton crawled from behind
the fence to the colors, seized them,
and bore back the blood-won trophy
The other incident took place at
Gaines Mill, where Gregg's First South
Carolina regiment bore the brunt of an
assault upon a certain strong position.
Moving forward at run, the South
Carolinians were swept by fierce and
searching fire.
Young James Taylor lad of sixteen,
was carrying the flag, and was killed
after being shot down three times,
twice rising and struggling onward
with the colors. The third time he fell
the flag was seized by George Cotchett,
and, when he in turn fell, by Shubricl1
Hayne. Hayne also was struck down
almost Immediately, and fourth lad
for none of these men were over
twenty years old-grasped the colors
and fell mortally wounded across the
body of his friend.
The fifth, Gadsden Holmes, was
pierced with no less than seven balls.
The sixth man, Dominick Spellman,
more fortunate, but not less brave,
bore the flag throughout the rest OF
the battle.--Cosmopolitan.

by the Spanish name, corral. A gate to
a corral that is proof against being
opened by SWINE or cattle should al
ways be provided. One that is excel
lent for security, and that can be easily
constructed by any farmer, is shown
in the illustration. 1t may be of any
desired width, but if over three feet
wide it should be provided with a
diagonal brace, extending from the
lower hinge corner to the opposite
upper corner. The gate is made of one

bottom pieces six inches wide. The
vertical cleats on the sides are double,
and secured by wrought or wire nails,

Aiding the Digestion.

Succulent food, such us silage, tur-

digestion by the natural juices of their
cells. Dry food undergoes some changes
during the process of drying, and "a por-

Capt John Gregory Bishop Adams,
who was unanimously elected COM
mander in chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic at the national cncamp-

was born in Groveland, Mass, and will
be tifty-two years old the 9th day of
next October. He was educated in the
public schools, and before he was twen-
ty years old enlisted in Maj. Ben. Per-
ley Poores rifle battalion, which was
subsequently merged into the Nine
teenth Massachusetts, volunteers In,
March, 1862, he was orderly sergeantS
Through all the seven days fighting on
the peninsula Sergt. Adams was con-
spicuous for his bravery, and his gall
lantry won for him second lieuten-
ants commission. At the battle of
fredericksburg, December 13, 1862,
Lieut. Adams displayed the most con-
spicuous gallantry. Nearly n dozen
color bearers of his regiment had been
shot, and at last he seized both
standards and brought them off the
field himself unscathed. At the battle
of Gettysburg the Fourteenth Massa-
chusetts was sent to support Gen.
Sicliles on the Cd of July. In this bat
tie Lieut. Adams was in command of
Company 1. While leading his men he
received two desperate wounds in the
groin, either of which was supposed to
be mortal. Yet in November he was
again with his command, before his
wounds were fully healed.
After Gettysburg he was made a cap
tain, and during the Wilderness cam
paign of 1864 he was at his post and
served with high spirit and devoted
loyalty.
