The song was caught up all over the
neld among the wounded, until, it was
said, there were at least 10000 wound
ed men uniting their voices as they
came to the verse:
| There everlasting spring abides,
And never whitening flowers;
Death like narrow stream divides
| That heavenly land from ours.
On, 1t is great religion to live by,
and it is a great religion to die by.
j There is only one heart throb between
you and that religion this moment.
just look into the face of your pardon
ing God, and surrender yourself for
time and for eternity, and He is yours,
and Heaven is yours, and all is yours.
When young man went forth into
life, the legend says, his guardian an
gel went forth with him, and getting
him into field, the guardian angel
swept circle clear around where the
young man stood. 1t was circle of
virtue and honor. and he must not
step beyond that circle. Armed foes
came down, but were obliged to halt
at the circle-they could not pass. But
one day temptress, with diamonded
hand, stretched forth and crossed the
circle with the hand, and the tempted
soul took it, and by that one fell grip
was brought beyond the circle, and
died. Some of you have stepped be-
yond that circle. Would you not like
this day, by the grace of God, to step
back? This, say to you, is your hour
of salvation?
But notice that when the prodigal
came there was the fathers ioy He
did not greet him with any formal
"How do you do?' He did not come
out and say: "You are unfit to enter:
go out and wash in the trough by the
well, and then you can come in; we
have had enough trouble with YOU"
All, no! When the proprietor Of that
estate proclaimed festival, it was an
outburst of fathers love and
fathers JOY. God is your father.

that description of God I sometimes
hear, as though he were Turkish sui

A man told me he saw. in one of the
eastern lands, king riding along, and
two men were in alteration, and one
charged the other with having eaten
his rice; and the king said: Then slay
the man, and by post mortem examina-
tion find whether he has eaten the
rice" And he was slain. All! the

BERLlN's BEAUTIFUL sTREETsi
fney are Asphalted and Kept Clean and
There Are No Slums

A foreigner coming to Berlin will be
impressed almost at once bv the excel.
lent streets, and further by the exI
ceptlonal manner in which they are
! taken care of. Almost everywhere thew
are asphalted, even where they are mar.
rowest, and not only in the middle of
the city, but far out into the suburbs.
This work has been done in the most
substantial manner. This department.
of city affairs is intrusted to skillful
officers, who perform their duty ac-
cordlng to the latest scientific princi-
pies. In the center of the city large
tract of street is now being torn up
for new horse car tracks, and it is an
instructive sight to see the fine
scale upon which the work is
done. The foundation is at
least a foot in depth of the hardest
possible mixture of small stones and
cement. Upon this, by means of mon
strous rollers and other machinery, is
placed the asphalt, which is not more
than a half-inch in thickness, but
which, on account of the strong sub
work, wears like the everlasting rock.
1t seldom needs repair, it does not run
away in hot weather, and does not rut
even under the heaviest kind of traffic.
This adds materially, of course, to
the beauty of Berlin and facilitates the
work of cleansing the streets. another
department of municipal administra-
tlon which is attended to in the most
ehectlve manner. Cleansers in uniform
are constantly at work in all parts of
the city, who, with brooms and brush.
heap up the refuse beside the curbs.
to be hauled off to the city farms dur.
ing the night. At intervals each day
water-carts are driven over the streets,
and boys follow after with squeegees.
which they propel by long handles,
washing every particle of filth away
The excellent condition of the streets
OF Berlin is one of the reasons why the
city has none Of those districts which
have come to be called ''slums" While
London and Paris, not to mention the
Italian and Spanish cities and some
cases nearer home, suffer in a notable
manner from the congestion of the poor
at certain points, where they live
crowded together under the most un-
ACdlolIAuI SURROUNDINGS, Ln1S Is not 10
any extent true of Berlin There are
districts in the east and north where
the poor live together, but in nothing
like the misery and squalor which one
will find elsewhere. The streets, as
already remarked, are asphalted, and
they are clean. They are nearly every
where wide. There are none of those
little dark alleys which exist in other
cities. The houses are we'll built and
sound. One could pass through these
districts time and again, and did he not
see the children on the sidewalk and
the women with their heads out of the
windows it might scarcely occur to him
that he was among the poor people.
The fronts of the houses are of very
handsome masonry, harmonious in
and in no important ro
spect different from the houses in manv
sections of the city. j.

Cultivate all fruits often, but
shallow
Ground bone is excellent for
small fruits.
Plenty of manure is the key to
successful gardening.
Ashes and bones furnish the ele-
ments most useful to trees.
Plenty of well-rotted stable ma
nure is a good fertilizer for the
strawberry.
For the home market leave the
peaches on the trees until they be-
gin to ripen.
Many consider land that has been
in cultivation two years the best for
strawberries.
Plants that have but small area
to grow upon are best treated with
liquid manure.
Give each plant space for its full
est development. Never crowd a
plant if it is to do its best.
To establish a reputation the
grower must give the packing of the
fruit his personal attention.
With a growing tree it is always
best to preserve smooth, clean stem
by prompt removal OF all suckers
One of the first requisites in tree
planting is plenty of fine, mellow
soil, carefully packed about the
roots.
Wood ashes can be applied as a
top dressing at almost any time, by
raking or stirring into the surface
of the soil.
Because moisture is necessary to
root and seed growth, do not fall
into the error of thinking that ex-
ce: sive wetness would be still better
Orchards ofpeaches, plums, dwarf
pears and ounces should have clean
cultivation year after year. 1t is
not necessary to stir deep, but tc
keep the surface in good filth.

sensible American Horses.

The day will undoubtedly come
when the American trotter will be
priced and valued in this country
for his astonishing qualities, among
which soundness of limb and feet,
as we'll as docility, is not one Of
the least; and, while on the point
docility it is important to state
that the American horse is one of
the most docile animals of the
world, and | can attribute this to
nothing else than the habitual
kindness and intelligence with
which the American treats this ami
NAL. The breeder has been large
ly assisted in this by the negro.
Throughout the whole of the
South where the negro prevails he
has been associated with the charge
of breeding of studs, and his af-
lection for the horse has developed
a kind of reciprocity between him
self and this animal, which has
had a large influence on the proge-
ny. Any one who has had to do
with American trotters appreciates
this virtue of docility. An Ameri
can horse will follow you like a
dog; he is not timid, and he is al
ways reasonable. If we could in
troduce some of these characters
tics into our English horses it
would add more to the pleasure of
horse keeping and horse breeding
than any other element | know

The account of dog finding
his way to his old home from a dis

not formerly acquainted with the

when the distance reaches some 200
miles the event is worth recording.

FARM Notes.


Among the Poultry.
No mites need be present where
plenty of coal oil and corbolic acid
is used.
What is wanted in a poultry
house is comfort, convenience and
sufficient room.
Do not feed the chickens lice or
horse flesh. Keep the roost away
from the stable.
One of the best reproducing
foods for Summer is wheat and
oats with milk and bran mash.
Linseed meal is excellent as an
egg-producing food, but it should
be given with grass or other bulky
foods.
Cholera and roup will be partly
avoided if plenty of pure water is
supplied. This is of special i'm
portance during the Summer.
AS soon as the old hens can be
spared for market they should be
fattened and sold. This ought to
be done before the hens begin
moulting
If disease appears and obstinate
ly resists remedies, it is better to
begin with new stock than to breed
from those that have been sick
long time.
Light, nutritious and easily di-
gested food is what confined fowls
require to do well, but under no
consideration should corn be fed
exclusively.
Mark the pullets that you want
to keep as soon as you know which
ones they are. Then there will be
no danger of their being sold or
eaten by mistake.
Chickens should not be allowed
to go on the roosts until they are
10 or II weeks old. If allowed to
roost too young their growth and
appearance will be injured.
The hens should always have
somewhere to dust. 1t will aid
them to rid themselves of lice. Ii
"a spoonful of insect powder be
added to the dust, all the better.
A small box of charcoal kept
where the hens can have access to
it will arrest disorders of the bow
els from overlooking. Use it fresh
ly burned and break it into reason
ably small pieces.
One thing that tends to make
low prices from this time on is
that a good per cent of the poultry
sent to market lacks much of being
in condition, and this, with the
quantity, helps to lower prices.
All roosts should be level or par
allel with each other. Where a
series of roosts is so arranged that
the rear roosts are higher than
those in front, the hens will always
crowd up into the highest places.
Wheat bran should always be
scalded before feeding, as it is not
relished otherwise. For fattening
chicks for market cornmeal that
has been scalded will often induce
them to eat more and to fatten
more rapidly.
When the young poultry are
confined in small runs it will be
best to change every few days to
fresh ground in order to avoid filth.
Not only will the chickens enjoy
the change, but better health will
be maintained.
AS soon as the hens begin to
moult there is always liability
that they will begin to pluck feath-
ers from one another, and as soon
as one hen learns it, she teaches it
to another. The only sure cure is
to kill the hen, and the sooner it is
done the better.
