Small Fruit Growing.

In the vicinity of many small towns
there are good openings for growing
and marketing small fruits. The
grower should plant a good variety
Of Strawberries, raspberTies, black
berries, grapes. currants and goose
berries, as the longer he is in the
market the better he can supply the
wants Of his customers. II viii be a
help in this If, In addition 70 the diff
ferent kinds. he has two or more va
rieties. one early and one late. and in
some cases a medium variety, in or
der to prolong the season as much as
possible. One advantage with the
home grower is that with good care
his fruit can be put into the consum-
er's hands in better. fresher condi-
ton aud at less cost than if shipped
in.
AS with many other things con-
nected with farming, the better plan,
usually, is to start on a small scale
and gradually increase as success
and the business warrant.
In order to sell cheaply it is essen
tial TO grow them cheaply. AS an
aid to this prepare the soil in a good
tilth before planting. st. Louis Re

Editor Huddaway Of the EastOn
CAfd-l Ledger gives an account Of a
most remarkable encounter between
q barn swallow and an English spar
row. The swallow. as stated TO the
editor. had built it's nest among the
rzfters Of the barn Of Mr.. Denney.
near Royal Oak, In Talbot county.
While on the nest the swallow was
attacked by the sparrow. and the
two birds had furious battle. which
went on sometimes in the air and
sometimes ON the ground The swal-
low was courageous, but it had not
the wind of the sparrow and finally
had 70 yield to its antagonist Hay-
ing driven the swallow from the barn,
the victorious sparrow took poses
sion Of the nest and contents.
In about an hour the swallow re
turned to the barn bearing IN It's
mouth q bunch Of something resem-
bling long horsehairs. The bird
went directly and noiselessly 10 its
nest, threw itself on the back Of the
sparrow, and before that astonished
bird had recovered from the shock
caused by the sudden and violent re-
turn Of its vanquished foe the swal-
low put horsehair moose around the
sparrow's neck and somehow fast
ened the other end Of the lassoo to
the nest or TO the rafter. The spar
row soon choked to death on its un-
expected gallows. where it hung for
several days. Chicago Tribune.

At this time one noted miracle gave

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
How difficult bad men find it to COM
prehend the aims and plans of person
of uncommon goodness. For they will
impute to the best conduct of the best
men, motives as base as their own.
If they cannot stop a good work,
they will misrepresent it, give it bad
name, and thus lessen its power.
There is but one safe course in refer
enee to It, and that is +. keep as far |
from it as possible, as the coachman
said he would do when asked how near |
the edge of a precipice he could drive.

has come to be regarded with the
charity of contempt. He is meek, say
they, and therefore to be buffeted;
lowly, and therefore to be spurned.
But what radical misapprehension of
the real meaning of the term lies here.
Patience, according to the Biblical in
terpretation, is not a negative but a
positive quality. Ithas to do with suf-
fering, but it is not passive. 1t is not
the insipid placidity of the sheep, but
the stern self-control of the strong man
under great provocation.
Patience has nothing to do with
goody- -goodyism, excepting in SO far as
it is called into exercise by contact
with people possessing the latter dis
agreeable trait. Yet there is a senti-
ment abroad that patience is cloak
under which cowardice and unmanly
docility seek to masquerade. Many
people call themselves patient, and are
as such merely because they
lack the aggressiveness to assert what
they know to be right. Others culti-

! Notes from the Rams Horn Well Worth 81
Second Thought.
When good man dies Heaven gains
much.
Lot walked into Sodom, but he left
it on the run.
Every step we take with God makes
our Bible bigger.
We never worry except when we for
get that God is good.
The man who breaches for bread and
butter does not preach Christ.
Christ made many references to Heav-
en-, but gave no description of it.
How ready some people are to sell
their souls for spot cash.
''If the Son shall make you free, We
shall be free indeed
Heaven is full of windows for those
who have faith to look up.
God never made law that was not
for mans highest good to keep.
While we are close to Christ we
never find any weight in His yoke.
No theology is right that gives God
character children can not love.
Those who have the care of children
ought to keep very close to God.
Wherever Christianity goes the devil
is found both before and behind it.
AS long as the devil is loose the true
soldier of the cross will have to fight.
We ought to fear to die until we have
done some good that will always live.
God does not ask where we have been.
but wants to know where we are now.
No man is under moral obligations
to do the thing God will not help Kim
to do.
The sermons that impress US most
are not always the ones we hear in
church.
Men are made rich, not by what the
world can give, but by what it can't
take away.
Unless mans walk corresponds with
his talk he can help the Lord by not
saying much.
If our works do not resemble those of
Christ, nobody will believe that we pos
sess His spirit.
If you would have power with Gea.
see to it that no secret sin finds a hid
ing place in your heart.
1t is good evidence that a mans
face is toward God if the devil is throw.

BEING PUNCTUAL.

The Great Importance of This Quality ef
Character in Business and Religious Ar-
pointments.
Punctuality marks character. We
usually think of the punctual man as 8
man always on time; and so he is, Tor
punctual means, literally, ''at the
point" But he can hardly be that
without being something more. The
minister Or superintendent who opens
the prayer-meeting or Sunday-school
unpunctually will not only close it un-
punctually, but he will be likely TO
grow into disregard of the value OF
a point in his thinking as well as in
his timing Unpunctuality spread from
this disregard of mere time engage
ments to all duty, which is itself
standing engagement with ones
maker. The young lawyer, or physician,
or business man, who thinks 1T good
policy to seem crowded with business
pressure by fuming hurriedly into meet
ing places after the meeting has begun,
will be likely to find out, in the long
run. that unpunctuality is not the marx
of a busy man. He will find that TO pe
at given point in space, at given
point of time, pays, in the end, because
it points character as we'll as business
ability. How many good prayer
meeting, or other gathering, is spoiled
| for the want of the knowledge OF pune
tuation-as to the place for periods! L
is an inadequate excuse for one wh'
makes a practice of speaking pu bllcl.
