A Good Deed Appreciated.

The following letter has been receiv-

My dear Miss Philbrick:- =
\ our letter
of April 10th brings me very welcome
tidings of the sympathetic and sisterlv
action of the Skowhegan Woman's Cub
with regard to the unfortunate Arme.
mans. May God raise up friends for
them in the women's clubs throughout
the country Their distress is sore in
deed. A great question in my mind is
can we bring any force 10 bear to stop
the threatened destruction of Van?
Our Congress could effect this. sup
pose, by an ordinance supported by Il
man-of-war. They might possibly do
il, if the womens clubs and the
churches, throughout the country,
would rise up and clHmor for the pro-
lection of Christians in the East.
Pray present my earnest thanks to the
ladies of your club. | shall publish

They uuanimouly endorsed Ben
Foreman for postmaster at this
place and e. A. Schicker for Receiv-
er of the land Office at Camden, Ark.
The city editor would feel mean
after knowing the twoiabove gentle
men for so many years to say any
thing against their receiving the
appointments they have beeu so
unanimously endorsed tor by their
party, even if they do belong to the
party he has fought since he reach
ed his majority, We know both
gentlemen have had daily converse
with them and if we ever liked a
republican, they certainly stand at
the top of the list, They will both
make good officers and while we are
satisfied that Mr.. Foreman will get
the "postotfice plum" we hope our
friend Ed Schicker will be equal
ly lucky in receiving the fruit from
the Camden bush.

UTILIZING CROWs.-A Pennsylvania
farmer has turned the crows to a good
account. He makes them allies in his
work. Writing to The American Agri-
culturalist, he says: "For the past five
seasons have, just before 1 expected
my corn to come up, sowed on the field
about q quart of corn to each acre, and
repeated the operation as often as nee
essary, until the corn was so large that
the crows could not publ it up. If the
corn is soaked until it is tender, they
prefer picking what they want to eat
from the surface rather than to pull up
the young plants to get it. The cost
of the corn thus sown is. but trifie
and as a result 1 have great number
of crows in my corn-field almost con-
stantly, and after they have been salts
fed with corn, they will still pick up
all the insects, grubs, and cut-worms
they can find, as dessert. In raising
so acres of corn since adopting this
plan, I have not lost hundred stalks
by crows and cut-worms combined"

A SURE RELIEF FROM CHOKING
Mayor A. P. Rowe, of Fredericksburg,
Va, writes 81 read in The Post, OF
December 3, that a citizen of Wash
ington, while on a visit to his son IN
Virginia, was choked to death by a
bone in his throat after every effort
was made to remove the same, but
without success. Whenever read OF
such cases in any paper / always en-
deavor to send the same paper sure
and certain relief for choking that has
never yet failed. The remedy is simp-
ly this: To Immediately reverse the
upright position of the body, sup
ported by the hands and feet elevated,
when instant relief will be obtained
and the obstruction will fall from the
mouth. A child can be seized by the
legs and head turned down, and relief
will be instantaneous. Several lives
have been saved by this treatment

A NEW ANANIAs.-A member OF
the New York Produce Exchange, more
remarkable for its hustling capacity
than for its piety, failed in business
under circumstances little less than
criminal. Another member of the
board who had suffered great financial
loss through Blanks failure was so
indignant that he stalked around the
building boldly prociaiming Blank 10
be greater liar than Ananias. He
had repeated this declaration a good
many times and most vehemently
when he was approached by Jones, a
third member of the board, who drew
the indignant man aside and asked
in all sincerity:

whom Blank can beat lying? Is he a
member of the board ?"-New York

H@- The country school teacher had
been telling her scholars about the
seasons and their peculiarities, and to
impress their youthful minds with the
facts, she questioned them on the
points she had given. She had asked
several questions, and finally reached
the bad boy in the corner.
"Well, Johnny" she said, "have you
been paying attention ?"
"Yessum," he answered promptly.
~ am glad to hear it, Johnny.
Now, can you tell me what there is in
the spring."
"Yessum, I kin, but I don't want
to-"
ooh! yes, you do. Don't be afraid.

She HELPED HIM OUT.

A man on Capitol Hill had been out
rageously insulted, as he thought. He
felt compelled to call his enemy to the
field of honor, but was restrained by
the thought of his wife and children
All day the affront rankled in his bos'
ON. As he neared home, thinking
every second of what he would, could
or must do, he happened to think Of
his wife, and it dawned upon him like
a sunburst that she was a woman o1
spirit and judgment, and that she
might be able to help him in his sore
difficulty and suggest a soothing balm
to his hurt honor.
With this new thought urging him
on, he fastened into her presence, as
soon as he hoped off the car, and
kissed her.
He did this thinking that possibly
by this time tomorrow evening he
would be beyond the power of oscula'
ton.
Naturally, this unusual demonstra'
ton surprised the good woman.
They had been married Is years
"Why, Henry" she exclaimed
"wbat is the matter with you9 You
seem strangely excited"
It was a minute before he could
control his voice sufficiently to use ii
for talking purposes.
"I am" be fairly snorted. 81 have
been insulted."
"How? Who did it2" and his
wife's spirit arose.
"By scoundrel who came into my
Office this morning. I have nursed my
wrath all day and now come to you
for advice. What would you do if q
man were to tell you to 60 to the
devil ?"
As he strobe about the room he
kicked over a table, two chairs and
the cat.
"Why Henry" she replied after the
impulsive manner of women, and with
the utmost sincerity, 81 wouldn'S 60. u

AGRICULTURAL VALUE Of PEAS.

The pea l. regard as an essential
crop for all farmers to cultivate. The
pea Is the clover of thes South il in
creasing the fertility of the soil, be.
sides furnishing food for man and
beast. > zt
The continued overflow Of my bot.
tomlands, from the 1Sthiof May until
too alate to rely upon them for a crop
of corn, made 1t necessary to provide
the means for my stock, and to dothis
1 commenced to plant peas as seen as
the wheat and oats were harvested.
On the first plat OF. Is acres-wheat
fleld-I planted one bushel BLACK, hall
bushelred or stock, and the balance in
cow or clay peas. -
From the one bushel, say four acres,
1 picked 1876 pounds, in the hull; OF
the red or stock half bushel 5Se
pounds; seven acres clay 3,09S pounds
or $3.50 pounds from Is. acres, with
perhaps so pounds in the field, toe
greenIat the picking: :. !.
It will thus be seen that the. black
yielded 44 pounds, the red 26s pounds
and the clay 442 pounds to the acre
The prospect the last of August prom
ised much greater yield, but the hot
dry weather throughout September
lessened the yield at least one-half.
The black and clay varieties ripened
rapidly under the hot sun, loosing al
the leaves, while the red held theirs
Ny experience is, the red pea is prefer
able when the vine is the object desired;
but the speckled or whippoorwill il
preferable in this, that while they dc
not vine, yet, in cutting the vines
when the peas have matured, loose
less in handling.
The clay pea, planted two weeks
or more later than those mentioned
ripened nearly as early, and held theil
leaves better.
NV observation as we'll as experience
has proven. the various varieties
should not be planted earlier than the
last week in June. The speckled o.
whippoorwill may be planted at any
season after the first of May, Will
good results.
When peas are planted for the bene
fit of the soil, as we'll as for forage
the vining varieties are preferable.
If our farmers would plant more
peas, and follow with cotton, the yielc
will be greatly increased from the veg
etable matter of the decaying vines, be
sides securing nitrogen in the soil
taken up from the atmosphere during
the growth of the plants.
The question Of curing and saving
pea vines is an important one, and, j
not properly done, the leaves are lost
in handling and much of the virtues
lost.
I hauled mine, half cured, and pu
on poles in the barn so as to get a free
circulation of air, and they are thus
cured. Or, better still, haul in tht
vines and store away by putting
LAYER of wheat or oat straw alternately
The vines will cure beautifully in thi.
way, and thus improve the straw a!
forage, and certainly securing the
leaves.
The peavines should not be cut un
til they are matured, and at least one
half of the peas are ripe.-T. W. Hol

HIS THIRD PUNISHMENT.

The story is told of a missionary
who, as someone remarked, chad been
unfortunate with his wives" This
missionary had married at home and
taken his wife with him to India.
There, after two years, she died, and
the broken-hearted widower received
permission from the missionary board
of his church to come home.
Here he promptly consoled himself
and with his second spouse returned
to the field. of his former labor. But
fate was still unkind, and at the end
of q year he was once more bereaved.
Again he sought the permission oi
his board to return home, but this
time they gently but firmly declined.
saying they did not feel justified in the
expense of giving him two holidays
within two years. They suggested,
delicately, however, that if his desire
was to recoup himself for his recent
loss, it was possible for him to depu'
tie a friend to secure for him new
partner of his joys and sorrows. This
he accordingly did, and, after consid'
erable correspondence and sundry de-
laws, the twice-bereaved widower re-
received word that the bride selected
for him was on her way to his arms.
The day the steamer was signalled
the bridegroom-elect went down to
meet it, accompanied by q married
friend. On the return of the latter to
his house, he was pounced upon by his
wife, who demanded all the particu'
lars of the meeting.
"Did Doctor Smith seem much over
come when he saw Miss Brown?" was
the first question.
"Well-yes-a little"
"Wasn't he overjoyed ?"
"Well-overjoyed is not just the
word, perhaps"
Why, didn't he say he was de,
lighted ?"
"Well-no-not exactly"
"But, at least, he seemed pleased p
"Well-I don't quite know"
"For mercy's sake, tell me just what
he did say and do"
"Well," with evident reluctance
"when he saw her she was at the
other end of the deck, and she was
pointed out to him by the friend she
had travelled with. Smith looked al
her for minute, and then he passed
his hand over his eyes, and I heard
him murmur audibly: Red hail
for the third time-and after so much
prayerp"
