ROME'S MIDDAY GUN.

All who have been in Rome know how
every day at noon a gun is fired from
the Castle of st. Angelo, proclaiming the
midday hour, and how this signal is fol-
lowed moment later by the clash and
clang of church bells ringing from every
campanile, causing waves of sound to
spread over the whole city. This Gus
tom dates back to 1456, when Belgrade.
then the eastern rampant of Europe,
was beseiged by Mohammed at the head
of one hundred and fifty thousand
Turks. 1t was freed on August 6, 1457,
by Giovanni Uniade, prince of Tratsyl-
vania assisted by the pontifical legate,
Cardinal Carvaial, and, above all, by the
zeal of Giovanni du Capistrano. of the
Minor Franciscans who, using cruel
fix hoisted on a pole as his standard,
routed an army of forty thousand com
batants: The pope, Calixtus Ill, hav-
ing rendered solemn thanks to the AL
mighty for the deliverance of Belgrade,
ordered, as a perpetual remembrance
of the event, that at midday the church
bells should sound three strokes and
the faithful repeat the Pater and Ave
("Hail Mary!') three times, to which
he attached an indulgence of three years.
Alexander vi. renewed and confirmed
this custom in the year of jubilee, 800,
when Bajazette had declared war against
the Venetians; the cannon being fired
from st. Angelo is recent innovation
introduced by Plus TX. To :. like be-
ginning belongs the habit of ringing the
church bells at l o'clock in the morning,
that darkest hour before the dawn" in
viting all the faithful to repeat the De
Profoundis psalm cxxix.) for the souls
of the dead, for in 1856, when under the
pontifcate of Alexander VII, Rome
was visited by terrible pestilence, the
dead we're ferried across the Tiber in
boats at | A. NJ. for burial in a field be-
tween the river and the Basilica of st.
Paul Ia black cross still stands to COM
memorate the melancholy fact) and the
pope enacted that bell be rung as a
reminder to the faithful to recite the
De Profundis on behalf of the departed
souls, which custom is religiously pre-
served to the present day-NelUberTy
Mu0dzine.

THANKSGIvING.

BLESS the Lord, o my soul: and all
that is within me, bless his holy name;
and forget not all his benefits"
How easy to forget; how blessed to re-
member! Thoughts of the mercies of
the Lord are refreshing and stimulating
to the whole being. A burst of thanks
giving in the midst of sorrows and dis
appointments is like the west wind on
stormy day, driving the clouds away
and revealing the calm, quiet heaven
which was always there, though shut
out from our sight by the passing
storm.
.'All his benefits!" If we should
count them, they are more in number
than the sand. Perhaps 1 have thought
most of the pleasant things which have
come to me we're my own benefits; the
result of my skill and foresight and in
dustry; "but thou shalt remember the
Lord thy God, for it is he that giveth
thee power to get wealth." What if he
had not bestowed upon me the benefits
of reason and judgment and memory,
how could have exercised skill or fore
sight or industry? 1t is true that | have
done my part in gathering the comforts
of life around me, but they are his bene-
fits notwithstanding; and had he chosen
he might have deprived me of all, des-
pite every effort of my own. 1t is one
of his choice benefits that we, who keep
this feast with thanksgiving, live where
we do.
What innumerable blessings come to
us through our heritage as American
citizens! 1t is not by accident that we
were not born under tropical sun. nor
under the rule of heather monarch
with the incubus of hoary superstitions
upon us. For the Lord thy God bring
eth thee into good land, land of
brooks of water Of fountains and depths
that spring out of valleys and hills; a
land of wheat, and barley, and vines;
land where thou shalt eat bread
without scarceness, thou shalt not lack
anything in it; land whose stones are
iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest
dig brass" If we live under the Ameri-
can flag, enjoying all that comes from
American citizenship in social, civil,
educational, and religious advantages
without pausing to thank God for plac
ing us here, surely we are forgetting his
benefits.
We are not apt to forget his benefits
in the way of enjoying or using them;
but to remember them in spirit Of
grateful love and obligation is quite an
other thing. The best way of not for
getting is to ask, with a sincere spirit:
What shall I render unto the Lord for
all his benefits to me?"-EIchdnge.

A NEWSBOY'S KINDNESS.

The words of Shakespeare, Zone touch
of nature makes the whole world kim"
were never more forcibly illustrated than
in the case of the paralyzed newsboy
who sits in wheel chair on the corner
of Fifth Avenue and Twenty Third
Street. He first made his appearance
there about two years ago, and his wan,
pinched face plainly indicated that he
had long been an invalid.
The newsboys all sympathize with
him. They help him fold and arrange
his papers. On warm days they take
turns tanning him, carry his little fold
ing table and assist him in various ways.
One day during the late hot spell, a
ragged urchin with bundle of papers
under his arm, barefooted and dirt-be-
grimed, and carrying tin pail in his
hand, walked up to the cashiers window
in store not far from where the cripple
sits. Rapping on the window he at
tracted the attention of the cashier, and
as he stood on his tiptoes he handed in
his pail, while smile as bewitching as
any society belle is capable of encircled
his dirty face, displaying set Of teeth
pearly white and as beautiful as nature
could form them. His large. lustrous,
sparkling black eyes caught those of the
cashier, and he said. "Say, mister, der
lame bloke what sells papers in de wagon
on der corner wants drink of ice
water"
AS the man who handles the cash
passed out the pail of water the juvenile
remarked, Tanks, mister; you know der
kids awful lame and can't walk"
The New York newsboy is rough,
slangy, harum scarum, and often mis-
chievous individual, but generally his
heart is in the right place.-New York
Herald,
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1894-12-01
STOCK.

Count the cost. Where there is no
profit there is usually loss. Do not at
tempt the wintering over of any animal
which does not show good promise of
returning profit for the food con-
sumed. Possibly you have some which
you would better give away than feed.
1t is only as the animal approaches
maturity that it readily takes on flesh.
First comes warmth and repaired waste;
then growth. Only after these wants
are supplied can anything be spared to
Jay by for future use in the shape of fat
The matured animal is most easily made
ready for the butcher.
A small flock Of sheep is sometimes
good to keep, if not to sell. 1t is one of
the most effective scavepgers to be
placed upon the farm; and, because
there is no profit in the wool, feed up
the mutton breeds, and do not be
knocked out by the present adverse cir
cumstances.
While only the mich COW seems to
hold her own in the market, and good
horse will sell but for song just now,
we venture to say that the tune in re-
gard to the latter will change by the
coming spring. 1t is only the poor sheep
which must hang his head in hopeless
ness.
All sorts of waste about the dairy can
be made to play right into the pigs
mouth. The piggery and the dairy go
hand in hand, and the thrifty stockman
will see that it is so. The worldly wise
farmer must be able to see more than
one thing at time.

BRIGHT SAYINGS OF DR.HOLMES

The biographers. in reviewing the
life work of DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes,
have overlooked many Of the brighter
flashes of wit and humor which have
emanated from the grand old poet of
Beacon Street,-those unconscious say
ings which are recorded in the memory
of friends rather than in his books.
This is not strange. however; for it is
often the case, and frequently with men
of DIR. Holiness temperament, that their
best efforts are spontaneous. In the
case of DIR. Holmes, not all of his wit
was engrafted in the personality of 1.-THE
Autocrat." One Of the best things he
ever said related to Mrs. Siddons, the
actress, at the time the great English
statesman, Fox, fell in love with her. DIR.
Holmes had been introduced to the &C.
tress in England, and later, in discuss
ing Fox's infatuation, remarked: II
can't understand a man falling in love
with her. She is too grand: it is like
falling in love with the Pyramids. Per.
haps an association of cloak-makers or
board of aldermen might love her, but
solitary ndividual.-neverw
On one occasion. in speaking of the
easy way in which men attributed their
frailties to the temptation of women, DR..
Holmes said, raising glass of wine to
his lips. woman tempted man to eat,
7 n hot hoH
to do with his drinking" Again. at
dinner party, he remarked with mock
gravity: Il really must not smoke so
persistently. | must turn over a new
leaf, "a tobacco leaf, and have cigar
after EACH" Here he paused. and those
present expected that he would say
meal" But he continued, "After each
cigar" When the smile which this
grave announcement elected had van
ished, the poet leaned back in his chair.
and said, "a foreigner is an alien. a
foreigner who drinks too much is bac-
chanalian; and may not a foreigner who
smokes too much be tobacconalian?"
Once. when he had been heavily lion
lied by party of long haired Wester-
ners, and some one asked him if he did
not enjoy it. DIR. Holmes said: ENJOY
it? Why, felt like the small elephant
on his back" OF Prof. Agassiz he re-
marked that the professor was the Lie
big's extract of the wisdom of ages.
when he goes off on long voyages to
remote islands," added the poet, II can't
help thinking what feast the cannibals
would have il they boiled down such an
extract~-Troy Press.

FARM, GARDEN AND DAIRY.
READING FOR AGRIcULTURIsTs.


years. they have been compelled to sup
plement their sales with mutton; there
fore the use of mutton has grown in fa
vor all the time.
On both the score of health and econ.
omy the American people eat too much
beef and pork. Mutton is as nutritious,
and is cheaper, healthier and as palatable
for most. The demand for good fat
lambs is growing everywhere, as the buy
ers for private families, hotels and res
taurants all testify
1t is fact which should be remedied
III some way, nevertheless it is true, that
the fast Atlantic steamers are supplying
the hotels in the Eastern cities with
lamb and mutton from the British Isles.
1t is more tender and juicy, fatter and
more nutritious.
Recent advance in the price of mutton
seems to have partly restored confidence
in the future of the sheep industry, and
our ewes are no longer for sale. Has
there not been useless scare. anyway?
All the fool sheep jump the fence be
cause the leader did,
1t is often the case that it will be less
expensive to own thoroughbred male
in conjunction with a few of your good
neighbors than to be continually paying
out large service fees. If you have suf-
ficient number of cows or mares or sows,
own the male yourself, with the possible
chance of hiring him out now and then.
Vermin have better opportunity to
get hold when cattle are closely stabbed,
and it requires closer care to keep them
in good condition. Watch that they do
not begin to lose flesh from some such
cause, remembering that prevention is
vastly better than late cure.
Give the boy an animal now and then
for his own, and teach him to care for it
in way which will make it of the most
value. Practical lessons go farther than
words. There is no surer way to keep
the boy at home and in love with the
farm than to get him interested in the
live stock.
One can better utilize the by products
with stock of varied tastes and require
ments. Diversihcation in this line is as
good as in crops. A farm will be able to
carry more stock and produce more Of
marketable value if you have different
classes of animals than if confined wholly
to one sort.
