ture. The first is his weakened emphasis
on the place and power OF sin. He starts
out with the assertion that the question
for our forefathers was Pilates question,
"What is truth?" 3 = The vital oues-
ton of the modern world is. "What is
sinY' That promises we'll for careful
and thoughtful estimate of human guilt,
its enormity and remedy. but the esti-
mate with which we are furnished is
neither careful nor thoughtful. 1t is
strangely oblivious to the burden of guilt
and wholly fails in insight as to the
Scriptural method by means of which a
man can cleanse his way. Mr.. lie CALI
enne shares this weakened emphasis on
the enormity of sin with many of his
brethren of the pen. The second griev-
GUS mistake into which Mr.. LIE CALI
enne has fallen is q depreciation of the
value OF the hope of Immortality. The
Jauntiness of youth and the sunny con-
tent of life which as yet has not been
shadowed by great sorrow may have
led MIN to look too little to the hereafter,
but be that as it may, bis words concern
ing the hope that nils the grave with
light are utterly unworthy of the cham
plon OF Christianity, unworthyseven of a
singer of the sweet lyrics he has already
given to the world. Here, as elsewhere,

DREARY BACKGROUND.
The background of the picture of the
ass IS always dire poverty. In prosper
Gus countries the ass is not considered.
In countries where strict economy is nee
eSSary to the barest existence, where
every kernel of wheat, every grain OF
rice, every spear off grass stuff which can
be eaten is counted, where 1t is question
not OF whether a man can rise in the
world but whether he can keep body and
soul together until the next harvest, the
ass IS useful as no other animal can be-
One hardly needs to feed him. He can
pick up a living on the highway out of
the husks and broken vegetables cast
forth from what they euphemistically
call the kitchen-and these are few and
Iean-from the thistles in the waste
places, from the stray leaves which fall
by the roadside. Food on which horse
or pony would perish in a week will
keep the donkey sleek and hearty and
able to work. The Arab is generous to
his horse. He will starve his wife and
daughters, almost pincn his own belly, to
provide the barley he needs to keep him
i'll heart. But the ass, he knows, needs
no care, and the strength and courage
which Allah has given him his master
measures to the last degree.

Typesetting by Machinery.

The officers of the International Typo
graphical Union recently sent to local
unions throughout the country for re-
ports in regard to the displacement oi
labor by typesetting machinery. The
answers from siXty-nine representative
cities showed a reduction of nearly 5C
per cent. in the number employed. In
the sixty-nine cities the whole mum ber
decreased from 1900 to $500, including
'subs" as we'll as regulars" In a few
cities the number OF employees was in
creased, the cheapening of composition
resulting in the enlargement OF the
papers. The same reports show that a
great deal of book work is being done on
these machines. In the opinion of many
writer's on labor topics, however, the dis
placement of men will not be permanent
They think that ultimately there will be
more men employed with the machines
than there were without them. Papers
and books are bound to increase in num-
ber with the cheapening Of production.
Carroll ID. Wright thinks that the pinch
comes only during the process OF read
justment. The printers themselves seem
TO have, very generally. taken this view
and they have shown none of the dispo-
sition, that has been noted ia other trades,
to oppose the introduction OF new inven-
tions, even to the extent Of using force. -

a Novel Rarometar.

In delicatessen store on Ridge avenue
there is an ingeniously contrived bar
ometer of kind rarely seen il this coun-
try, but so common in Germany, where
it came from, that it is often used as a
subject for Illustration in comic journals.
To the huge cork of large glass jar kept
half filled with clear water is attached
little Slanting stepladder with rungs
about an inch apart, resting on the bot
tom of the jar. The jar is inhabited by a
tree toad, almost white, mottled with
purple gray. III clear, dry weather the
toad remains in the water with his nose
and eyes just visible above the surface.
When he leaves the water and sits on the
first step, look out for cloudy weather. Ii
he hops to the second step, look out for
rain or snow, and should he ever climb to
the step just under the cork, prepare for a
blizzard. From long observation and ex-
perience many Germans have acquired
great faith in this primitive weather
bureau. Philadelphia Record.

How can | live from thee apart,
Through all the coming years?
How can l bear the hidden grief,
The heartache, pain and tears.
That come to NIL my life with gloom,
With ceaseless, deep unrest?
While l no longer hear thy voice
Or smile at loves caress.
What will the dreary, coming years
Bring to my life? l ask;
Naught save remem Drance of thy love,
That once lived in the past;
But did it live? Did it exist
Within thy heart for me?
Or was it but q dream of bliss
Forgotten soon by thee?
Alone 1 walk life's dreary path,
Griet-stricken, all alone:
No pleasure comes to ill my heart,
Or still the souls sad moan;
In vain | try thee to forget.
Alas it ne'er can be,
1t matters not Where'er l turn,
l only think OF thee.
Why do l love thee? Why, oh why,
Can [ not thee forget?
Tho sorrow has been mine to bear
II ne'er has brought regret.
Tho faith and trust come not to cheer:
Tho hopes lie crushed and dead,
l treasure deep each loving word,
That thou hast to me said.

POULTRY-HOUSES.

1t is wholly unnecessary that there
should be any elaborate design in
the construction of poultry-houSes.
The principal points of Importance
to be considered are securing warmth
and light for winter and ventila ton
for summer. The pOultry-hOuse
should face the south and be provid-
ed with windows through which the
sun may shine; it should be so tight
as to preclude the possibility of any
currents of cold air, as these are
pretty sure to affect the fowls serious
lv. If the walls are tight, fowls may
be kept in house for them without
artificial heat, although it is posi-
BILE that in severely cold wea Their it
might be of benefit to have con-
veniences for affording some heat.
Poultry-houses should also be kept
free from foul atmosphere, which is
quite liable to occur unless there are
arrangements and cOnveniences for
keeping the floors reasonably clean.
Poultry manure possesses too great
value as fertilizer to be allowed to
90 to waste, and so, if barrels are
provided, the droppings may be
swept up frequently and placed in
the barrels preparatory for use. The
houses should be provided with nest
boxes having a sort of secluded char
acter and protected from outside
filth there should also be ample pro-
vision for sand baths, which are
found in boxes Of road dust, sand,
coal ashes, or ordinary soil, on which
may be sprinkled some sulphur,
which will serve to keep off insects.
The profit from keeping poultry
comes from taking proper care of
them, more especially during the
winter season. Germantown, Pa,

after either success or failure in other
callings. Yet how often it is true
that mans entire failure at every
thing else is just what throws him
as last resort upon the farm. 1t is
we'll for him in such case to hire him
self to the best practical farmer he
can find and make whatever wages
he can earn, before risking the re-
nainder of his capital in farming for
himself. The next step should be to
hire farm, using what he has saved
to stock it In the best possible way.
The man who has young growing
stock of improved breeds on a rented
farm is better placed than he who
has bought bis land but lacks the
means to stock it. 1t is the expe-
rience which old country farmers get
on rented farms that is most apt to
make them successful here. They
have learned that most depends on
the stock, and that is the important
lesson that a large majority OF
American farmers need to know

GREEN CORN AS FODDER.

1t is dangerous to feed green corn
either to cattle or horses. Fatten-
ing hogs may be Ted with corn quite
freely, if fed small quantities at first
and given ashes and coal to correct
the acidity of the stomach arising
from an accidental Over-feed of corn.
Horses are very liable to collie when
fed green corn, and it must be fed
with extreme caution, especially
when horses are at hard work
Driving horses should never be fed
new corn-it is too risky. If new
corn must be fed, do it thus: Have
the driest and best matured corn
husked out, and then let 1t be spread
out quite thin in the courthouse,
where the corn will have plenty OF
air and light Feed two ears at a
meal, and only when the horses are
cooled off Night is the best time to
feed corn. This feed may be gradual
IN increased to four ears at a meal.
If the weather is hot and the
horses doing hard work, such as
ploughing or narrowing, it will be
much better to feed mixture OF
oats and old corn, and leave the new
corn entirely out of the ration. In
feeding soft corn to mich COWS, cut
the ears up quite small and feed a
quart at a meal, sprinkled with salt
gradually increasing the amount to
TWO quarts at meal, along with a
quart Of dry bran. Soft green corn
should never be placed in a close
room, nor piled at all thick. 1t is
liable to heat and mould, and if fec
in this condition to hogs or COWS ii
will certainly produce cholera IL
hogs and stomach trouble in thu
ows.-GB Baltimore American.

ANSPLA NTING EVERGREEN
TREES.

There are many localities where a
natural growth of evergreen trees in
the borders of woods and the mar
gins of swamps affords opportunities
for procuring pines and cedars.
Rows of suitable size and only a few
feet high might be transplanted for
an occasional ornament Of the home
of the farmer, or for shielding the
cattle-YardS in winter. The difficulty
is that most farmers are not aware
that they can be removed with safe
ty. An excellent work on forest
trees, and one OF the best that has
been published in the country, gives
the following directions for trans
planting: "In planting trees that
are not small, the roots should be
extended on all sides to their full
length. Some advise removing large
evergreens with a ball of frozen
earth around the roots, and the
roots are almost uniformly cut
short" The writer appears not to
have been aware that the length of
the roots Of nearly all trees is at
least as great as their height, and if
those which he describes as not
small are only twelve feet high, then
the roots extending twelve feet on
each side ito their full length"
would occupy a circle twenty-four
feet in diameter-which would OBJ
viously be quite impracticable. We
have found the practice of cutting a
ball of earth, or rather a fat mass,
and conveying it with the tree, even
if the roots are much shorter
than would seem necessary-we
find this practice much the safest
and surest in removing trees from
their native localities. If the mass
Of earth is large enough to hold the
tree upright when set on the surface
OF the ground, it is safe to insure the
life of the tree. Not one in twenty
properly treated in this way ever
perishes in removal. These remarks
do not apply to nursery trees. The
work may be done any time OF
YEAR, Amer. Cultivator.
