A Sufficient Reason.

The admission of a stranger, who had
moved into the vicinity but recently,
into full membership in the church
bothered Deacon johnson very much.
He disliked the man, and felt quite con-
vinced he was not worthy to become a
member, but he could make no definite
charge against him. When the church
session had the mans application under
consideration, the deacon protested
against his admission. When pressed
to give his reasons, he said: oval, pah-
son, de fac OBJ de mattah is I feels dat
he's wolf in sleeps clothing"

Remarkable results have been OBJ
tanned from experiments regarding the
influence of electricity on the growth
of plants. Prot. Specimen, of Kiev, by
an arrangement of poles connected by
wires condensed atmospheric electric
ity over the inclosed area; and the Or
dinary grain crops grown within the
inclosure showed an increase from IS
to 56 per cent. in the weight of the
yield Of grain and from 16 to go per
cent. in the weight of the straw. Po-
tatoes showed an increase of only II
per cent, but they were from a para
site, which devoured the unelectrihed
crop. By exposing plants at nights to
the electric light, thus supplementing
sunlight, assimilation and growth be-
came continuous, with consequent
great increase in the produce; but it
has to be noted that, as in plants un.
der normal conditions, assimilation
and growth alternating at different
periods Of the day, the great develop
ment of tissues under the double indu-
ence cannot be entirely beneficial.
Prof. Specimen also tried the effect of
eleotrifying seeds before planting, and
found that when they were subjected
to the current for only two minutes
tho rspidity of their growth was near
ly doubled. .s4

''How old are you, mamma?"
''Oh, nineteen or twenty" was the

attacks of hawks, crows or rats, rs they
are quick to give the alarm in loud,
shrin cry, most unpleasant to the un-
welcome intruder. The only objections
to be urged against these birds are their
noise and quarrelsome habits. In the
poultry yard they are spiteful (espe-
cially the cocks) to young chicks, and
are, generally speaking, of very pug
nacious disposition.
The young can easily be trained to
run with hens, and when so reared
will not be" so apt to quarrel with
them. When first Matched they are
quite wild, but when kindly treated
and often fed, they will become sufh-
ciently tame to eat from the hand, and
will not wander far from home. Tho
white variety are more tame than the
speckled.
1t is advisable to start keeping guinea
fowls by either purchasing eggs and
Matching them under domestic hens,
or procuring them when young, when
they are more likely to localize them
selves to their owners wish than II
purchased as older birds. If adult
birds be purchased they will require
boxing up for three weeks or q month
and feeding carefully to tame them,
otherwise they are liable to wander of
at their own sweet will, possibly never
to return.
But in spite of these disadvantages,
as semi-domesticated bird, It is very
profitable upon farm or anywhere
where it can have free range and
plenty of liberty, clearing the ground
of myriads of insect life, and being q
small feeder in comparison with ordi-
nary poultry.-N. Y. World.
