BEAUTIFUL NATIVE SHRUBS.

But few people think of the great
number of native Towering trees and
shrubs which abound in nearly every
State and county, and the use that
might be made of them in the decora-
tion and ornamentation of the home
grounds. The common dogwood, the
Juneberry or shad-blow, the mountain
laurel, the pinkster or wild azalea,
the sumac with its gorgeous autumn
foliage, the Eastwood, and many
others, are so common as to excite but
little notice, yet they are as handsome
and harder than many foreign trees
and shrubs that we are all anxious to
have and which costs considerable
money. A handsome shrub should be
marked with stick, stone or white
rag, so that it can be easily distin-
guished and transplanted to the home
grounds at the proper time. Ferns,
lady's slippers and other orchids. and
many towering plants which come up
in the fields and woods may be trans
planted.-American Agriculturist.

CSEFULNESs.'

Aman's usefulness depends far more on the
kindness of his daily temper, than on the
great and glorious deeds that shall attract the
admiration of the world, and that shall send
his name down to future times. 1t is the little
rivulet that glides through the meadow, and
that runs along day and night by the farm
house. that Is useful, rather than the swollen
food, or the noisy cataract. Niagara eXcltes
our wonder, and fills the mind with amaze
ment and awe. We feel that God Is there |;
and it is we'll to 60 far to see once. at least,
how solemn 1t Is to realize that we are in the
presence of the great God, and to see what
wonders his hand can do. But one Niagara
is enough for a continert-or world; while
that same world needs thousands and tens OF
thousands Of silvery fountains, and gently
flowing rivulets, that shall water every farm,
and meadow, and every garden. and that shall
flow on every day and every night with their
quiet and gentle beauty. So with life. We
admire the great deeds Of Howard's benevo-
lence. and wish that all men were like him.
We revere the names OF the illustrious mar
tyrs. We honor the man who will throw him.
self in the Imminent deadly breach, and save
his country-and such men and such deeds
we emust have when the occasion calls for them.
But all men are not to be useful ir this way
any more than ali waters are to rush by us in
swelling and agry floods we are to be useful
in more limited spheres. We are to cultivate
the general charities of life. We are by con-
sistent walk to benefit those around us
though in humble vale, and though like the
gentle rivulet we may attract little attention,
and may soon cease to be remember on earth

Extirpating Peach Fellows.

The "peach yellows" commission, ap.
pointed BY the last Legislature to visit every
orchard In Connecticut and destroy. root
and branch, with a1s or fire, every tree in
fected with the yellows, has completed just
about half its work. The Commissioners
are six in number, and their pay is IS q day.
They began their task about the middle Of
July, and must end it on September 1. The
Commissioners have done the work In the
most painstaking way. In searching for
diseased trees they penetrate even into city
dooryards and examine all fruit for sale at
stores or street stands. The main tokens OF
the yellows in tree are short, yellow,
sprouty growth, and q premature ripening
on the part OF Its fruit. The malady 1s con-
tagious, and it has almost completely wiped
out the peach-growing industry in Con-
necticut. Owing, perhaps, 20 considerable
unofficial work of the kind done last year,
the Commissioners thought that the num-
ber OF trees that it IS necessary to extirpate
is considerably smaller than was anticipated.
The percentage of diseased trees, Chief
Commissioner Hubbard said Is five per
cent, as against ten per cent. last season.
The disease is far more prevalent III old
than in new orchards, sometimes amounting
to twenty-five per cent. Of all the trees
there. The Commissioners have arbitrary
powers. The penalty of opposing them
about their work ranges from $50 to S1O0 Ii
fines, with or without Imprisonment.

ARMOR-PLATE SCANDAL.
The Report Of the House Investi-
eating Committee.

Representative Amos J. Cummings, Cha1--
man of the House Committee on Naval Al
fairs, presented to the House at Washing
ton, the preliminary report upon the investt'
cation OF the armor-plate and bolts fur
nished to the Government by the Carnegie
Steel Company, Homestead, Penn. The In,
yestigation has been In progress tor seVeral
weeks, and during Its course testimony mas
been given by the principal officers OF tue
Carnegie Company, by workmen, ana py
Government officers. The report Is COLL
plete review OF the case.
The committee finds that the charges OF
fraud have been sustained, condemns tne
company severely, and recommends that nj
ty-nine suspected plates in use snould %
tested. as the only method OF proving tnelr
fitness or unfltness. It also finds tnat tns
Government inspection was Negligent anu
defective. but no charge Of dishonesty rests
uponthe inspectors.
The charge, that false reports OF treat
ment OF plates were Systematically MADE,
the committee holds, Is proved BY the rougn
records OF the company itself OF over seven
hundred plates and lots o.! DOTS Wnlcn cams
into the hands of the Navy Department.
The records examined show that the
figures in the reports were almost IN
yariab,y changed, and in some cases
entirely new reports were returned. Ihere
were "fake" reports OF treatment OF plates
that received no treatment Whatever, says
the report, and over nine.y-fve per cent OF
the records show similar changes which were
evidently made for the purpose OF deceivlnS
Government inspectors. The reports were
made to make i: appear that the plates ha1
received the uniform and efficient treatment
required by the contract. :.,,
The report shows that the contract with
the company covered pe-iod o. two Years
and three mouths. from November, lS9'. 10
FEBRUARY, 1893. The amount ol armor P't.ee
contracted for was SJlo tons, costing ~

USEFULNESS THE GREAT END OF LIVING.

In reading an obituary notice of Mrs. Mar
garet 31altby, wife of Rev. John Maltby Of
Bangor, we were forcibly struck with re-
mark of her father, Rev. William Jackson,
D. D., of Dover, vt. After she was married,
and about TO leave her fathers house, he
said, "Now, Margaret, want you you to re-
member this one thing-"All you can get out
of life is usefulness"
This Is living truth, worthy Of being
engraven on every heart. Its practical
influence must be highly salutary. 1t
will keep constantly before the mind
the great end of living. It is not
the great design of God in placing US in this
world, to give US an opportunity of gratifying
our animal appetites. Such pleasures never
satisfy, and always ends in pain. 1t is not the
design of God that we should live for the
sake of amassing wealth. This passion can
never be gratified. 1t rises in its demands by
every new acquisition. Ii never has enough.
The1ndulgence of this passion is pernicious.
It is idolatry.
1t is no part of the design of God in placing
us in this world, that we should seek after
worldly greatness. The indulgence of this
desire is contrary to the spirit Of the Gospel.
1t IS also invariably attended with cares,
and perpleXities. 1t is something in antici.
patton; but nothing in fruition But he who
lives to do good, or to be useful, has a
present satlS1actlon Whlcn no pure wordly
pursuit ever affords. IT. like his master, he
goes about doing good, or does all things
for the glory of God, he has a peace
which the world can neither give nor
take away. Great peace have they which
love thy law. But all the good effects OF a
life OF usefulness are not confined to this
. world. Whatever Is done for the sake Of do
ing good, will in no wise lose its reward.
, The smallest thing done from this motive will
be remembered in the day of judgement, A
cup of cold water cannot be given to disci-
Pile without receiving its appropriate reward.
. Let then the wise saying OF DR.. Jackson to
his daughter be remembered :-"All you can
get out Of life is usefulness"

RELIGIOUS READING.

A WORD OF ENcoCRAGEMENT TO CHRISTIAN.
What art thou faint hearted? Hast thou
forgotten the faithfulness of him who hath
said, II will not fail thee nor forsake thee?"
Josh. i,5 For shame! For shamei Fear
not. for they that are with thee are more than
they that be against thee.
Dost thou want to see horses and chariots
of fire drawn out for thy protection, or thous-
ands of angels on the wing for thy defence?
Thou hast much more than these. Look
around thee with the eye Of faith, and SEQ
who is on thy side. See who is pledged for
thy defence, thy safety, thy comfort and thy
joy,
God the Father, in all bis divine and his
almighty perfections infinite in strength, in
wisdom and in goodness; whose word is
power, and whose arm none can withstand.
The lightenings are in his hands, and the
thunders: and his are the hosts and the
armies of heaven. He will not leave thee nor
fA~sake thee. Fear thou not, for am with
tGee; be not dismayed. for I am thy
God; will strengthen thee; yea. will help
thee; yea, will uphold thee With the right
hand of my righteousness. Is xii, 10.
God the Redeemer, clothed with grace as
with garment, in the rich ess of his mercy
and the fulness Of his love. He is on thy side.
He has suffered for thy sins, and atoned for
thine iniquities. He has lived, he has died,
yea, risen again Tor thee. when Christ,
who is our life shall appear. then shall ye
also appear with him in glory" Col. iii, 81.
'Come ye blessed of M Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the founda-
tion of the world Matt. XIV, "a.
God the Holy Ghost, quickening, consol-
ing, guiding, and strengthening thee, sur
rounding thee with all his halowed influ-
ences, is with thee. He encourages thee with
his merciful invitations. Come, and let him
that heareth say come. And let him that is
athirst come. And whosoever will, let him
take the water of life freely" Rev. xxii-, II.
Take comfort Christian. The attributes of
God, the graces of Jesus Christ, and the con-
solations of the Holy Ghost, are in league for
thy benefit, joined together for thy good;
and such a threefold cord cannot be broken.
Thou owdest much, but thy debt is paid; thy
sins are many, but they have been forgiven.
Christ has died for thee, and thou mayest
now say, "Henceforth there is laid up for me
crown of righteousness which the Lord the
ri9hteons Judge shall give me at that day."

Go on then with confidence,
Though thousand foes thy heart appall,
And death and hell combine,
Yet snalr thou win thy way through all,
And heaven, indeed, be thine.

A Novel Beehive.

When the workmen came to tear off
the roof of the El}icott City Md
Presbyterian Church, which is being
demolished to give place to new
church, they stirred up . numerous
and influential colony Of bees which
had made their home in cornice Of
the old building for years and years.
The bees fought off the intruders and
had to be smoked out ano massacred
before the men could go on with their
work. The honey which the indus
trious little insects had boarded mp
was taken out, and it filed big tub
and pan, making all told not much
less than $50 pourds.-Woshington

SYMPTOMS OF BAcKsLIDISd.

If decay Of love Of Christ be our disease, 1t
will have such symptoms as these:
l. Christ will be less in our hearts and
mouths than formerly.
3. We will be more slack in our obedience,
and have less delight in our duty than be-
fore.
8. It Is sign of decaying love when we
lose our tendency Of conscience, and wonted
adherence Of sin, Christ's enemy.
4. When we are more easy under Christ's
absence and withdrawings, and less anxious
for his presenre.
S. When we lose our wonted appetites for
our spiritual food and nourishment from
Christ in the ordinances.
6. When we lose our public-sPiritedness
and concern for the interest for Christ's king
dom and glory in the world.
Z. When we are little concerned to have
hcart-holiness, which Is Christs image drawn
upon the soul.
8. When we have little desire for Christ's
second coming, or for the enjoyment Of him
in heaven.
Q. When earthly-mindnoss and love to the
world is on the growing hand.

Vegetables for Summer Diet.

tits not natural to eata great amount
of meat in summer. The system does
not require it as it does in colder
weather. A vege sable diet is best for
hot weather, provided it be the right
kind of vegetables to give strength for
those who have heavy work to do.
There are no more nutritious vegeta-
bles than green peas and green beans.
They contain much of the nutritious
elements that these same grains con.
tain when they have ripened. The
diet of vegeta-ians has not been di-
versiied as it should be. 1t is this
that has brought their system into dis

scare. If now in like manner the lag
CARDS in the sterilizing movement
could appreciate the dangers to be es-
capped by conversion to it, another big
step forward in domestic sanitation
will have been gained. Directions
have been given on one or two occa-
sions in these columns just how to rid
milk of dangerous germs, but the story
needs telling and retelling.
DR.. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry, gives simple form.
ula that any woman can follow:
Take tin pail AMI have made for it
false bottom perforated with holes
and having legs half on inch high to
allow circulation of. the water. The
bottle of milk to be treated is set on
this false bottom and the pail is filled
with water until it reaches the level OF
the surface of the milk in the bottle.
A hole may be punched in the cover
of the bottle, in which cork is in
serted, and the thermometer is put
through the cork so that the bulb dips
into the milk, and the temperature
can thus be watched without removing
the cover. This water is then heated
until the milk reaches temperature.
of 155 degrees Fahrenheit, when it is
removed from the heat and allowed to
cool gradually. A temperature of l5O
degrees maintained for half an hour
is sufficient to destroy any germs like
ly to be present in the milk, and it is
found in practice that raising the tenn
perature to 155 degrees and then al
lowing it to stand in the heated water
until cool, insures the proper temper
ature for the required time.
The Pasteur method is practically
the same-the temperature is raised
to 100 degrees kept there about ten
minutes. and the cooling process is as
rapid as possible, rather than gradual.
It is found that the latter method
makes the milk more easy Of digestion
in the case of infants or delicate per-
sons. Either process insures the rid
ding of dangerous germs, and milk so
prepared will keep usually thirty.six
hours. York Times.
