BertHolmes Sentenced for Life.

JOSEPH s. III. Holmes, the murderer Of
Motornan johnson, was sentenced by
Judge Burlingame, of Grand Rapids, to
State prison for life. When Judge Bur-
lingame called for the defendant, Holmes
stepped briskly forward and stood, with
one arm resting on the judges desk, while
he Looked straight into the judges face.
The Judge, proceeding, said: "Mr.
Holmes you have been tried and convict
ed of grave offense. The jury has re-
turned verdict of guilty in its highest
degree. The law fixes the punishment.
There's no discretion with the court. This,
however, may not prove to be the final re-
suit. Your attorneys will take all proper
steps to move for re-hearing before the
Supreme Court. There is still another
tribunal that can right or alleviate the
seeming severity that you may conceive
the court is obliged to impose; that is, the
pardon board. Have you anything to say
why court should not pass sentence"
"Not at the present time" said Holmes,
r; q low yet distinct voice. The court
then proceeded in kindly voice to say:
"NIr Holmes, the sentence of the court is
that you be imprisoned in solitary con-
hnement and hard labor in State prison at
Jackson, Mich, for life" Holmes did not
6ushor show the least sign of embarrass-
ment His attorneys will take the case
to the Supreme Court at once.

Early Flowing for Corn.

Corn ground should always be plow-
ed early and left in the furrow a few
days to be warmed by the sun and air
before being narrowed down. If, how
eyer,it has been plowed too wet, the
narrowing should be done before it has
Thoroughly dried. Some farmers put
on blowing their corn ground, thinking
TO get a larger growth of grass or clover
to turn under. But the warming of the
furrow Is worth more than the small
amount Of green manure that can be
grown before later blowing. Besides,
on any old sod 1t is very important to
have 1t begin to rot as early as possible.
This Is best secured by early blowing
and thorough surface cultivation. When
the sod begins to rot it furnishes con-
siderable warmth to the soil above It,
which is just what the corn plant
wants rttr

Work for Hen. While Eating.


One Of the advantages Of giving hens
a wide range is that they get greater
variety of food and have to eat more
slowly. They are also obliged to take
n good deal of exercise to secure what
they want. Both of these advantages
can be secured to hens confined in
yards In winter grain Of different
kins, oats and wheat may be mixed
with cut straw, and the hens be allowed
to scratch for it in the hen house. In
spring and summer small place should
be plowed, sown with grain and the
grain narrowed in. Here the hens
should be allowed to exercise them
selves until they get all the grain sown,
or so nearly so that scarcely a spear
appears above the surface. Tie insects
and worms which the hens will pick
up on this plowed piece of ground will
make welcome addition ana variety
in their diet. Hens so manag ed will
keep on laying until hot weather, when
the moulting season comes on, which
every hen must pass through once a
year The earlier it Is over the better
I II will be for the poulterer's profits.

Planting Trees.

AS many trees are destroyed each
year through carelessness in trans
planting them, it Is in order to say a
few words on this subject. In the first
place all the bruised roots, as well as
those torn apart and left rough, should
be cut of, leaving a clean, straight
cut. If the roots have been exposed to
the air their ends should also be cut,
MS the fine points will be dried so that
they cannot take up the water which
they should. AS little time as possible
should elapse after the trees are taken
from the soil before they are set into 1t
again. Have the holes into which they
are to be placed dug little lower than
the trees are to be set. The loose earth
should be thrown back again so that
the tree roots may be left with a few
inches Of loose soil under them as well
rs above them. 1t takes two to proper
" set tree. One holds the tree in
place while the other carefully throws
fine soil among its roots, packing and
pressing it down after enough earth has
been put on to cover the roots. Even
with the tree roots in place it will be
necessary to secure some other soil
than that dug from the hole 10 fill it UP
again. 1t should be slightly mounded,
so as to allow for settling as the soil
becomes more compact. The tree should
be watered by sprinkling slowly a
whole pailful Of water for each tree.
1t should not be poured in, as it will
wash the soil and make vacant spaces
around the roots. After watering,
mulch Vie soil and cut back the top of
the tree to the few buds that are needed

FAME-AN ALLEGORY,

A temple in the morning light
Rose fair upon the mountain height
And shot its turrets high
Against the vaulted sky.
The youth set forth, with heart aflame,
Full armed with faith to write his name
Among the deathless great
Who conquer adverse fate.
He leaves his home with pouch and staff
And answers back with easy laugh
The warning and distrust
OF those whose hearts are dust.
The mountain roads are hard to climb
The solemn centuries of time
Have pressed the wrinkles deep
On every rolling steep.
Wild hungry beasts crouch in his path,
And Shiny serpents hiss their wrath,
While from the trees the owls
Hoot in black robes and cowls.
Then follows Night, pilgrim old,
A miser hiding the suns gold,
His dark breast decked with stars
Won in celestial wars.
Still through the gloom the temple shed
Its radiance round the travellers head,
But in its pallid light
His brown hair turns to white.
By colder winds his face is famed.
He longs to clasp some friendly hand
Or feel the welcome touch
OF lips that love him much.
At last the temple gates are won.
He enters in, his journey done,
Then sinks in blank despair.
No living thing is there
He cannot breathe the sitting air.
The light, a phosphorescent glare,
That round his path was shed
Falls only on the dead.

Ono of the Lost Tribes.

Scattered over the breezy downs of the
Nilgherries, in little village of wicker
houses that looks at a little distance like
nothing in the world so much as col
ony Of beehives, live a community Of
600 or 700 people, who are variously be-
lieved to be the descendants Of one Of
the lost tribes of Israel, the aborigines Of
southern India, and community Of
Manichasens.
They believe in a strange trinity and
hell, a dismal stream full Of leeches,
and this they must cross by means Of q
single thread. The soul burdened with
sin is too heavy for this slender support,
and the sinner falls into the stream, but
the thread sustains easily the souls Of
the good.
The funeral Of Toda, for that is the
name Of the singular tribe, is as odd in
its way as its religious belief. His body
is wrapped in q new cloth and his toes
tied together with red thread Grain,
sugar, tobacco and money are concealed
in his funeral toga to provide him for
his journey across the Styx and the dark
plain beyond.
Two buffaloes are slain beside the
corpse, and the dead mans hands are
placed upon their horns A piece Of his
skull, his hair and his finger nails are
removed to be used later on at the great
celebration Of the death Of all those who
during the IL months have taken the
leap over the great precipice into the bot
tomless abyss" When these tokens are
removed, clarified butter is smeared on
the fragrant wood Of the funeral pyre,
and the body is burned to ashes and the
ashes scattered to the four winds -

When a man owns blooded horse he Is
always careful of its health. He looks after
its diet and is particular that the feeding
shall be regular and right. While he is
doing this it is likely as not that he is him
self suffering from some disease or disorder
that if left to itself will go on and on till it
develops seriously.
When the trouble gets so bad that he can.
not work, he will begin to give himself the
care he gave the horse at the start. The
time to cure disease is at the beginning
and better than all is to so watch your
health that disease will never come. Good,
pure, rich, red blood is the best insurance
against disease of any kind. Almost all
diseases come from impure or impoverished
blood. Keep the blood pure and strong
and disease can find no foothold.
That is the principle on which Dr.

1t cleanses, purifes and enriches the blood;
it puts and keeps the whole body in perfect
