Looking Inward.

One who accustoms himself to think
of pure and holy things, who sets bis
affections on things above, and strives
to reach whatsoever things are lovely
will grow upward toward the things he
loves and thinks upon; but one who lets
his mind turn habltually to debasins
things. things unholy, unclean, sensual
will find his whole soul bending down.

Send to Your senator..


We earnestly urge that all friends of
protection will give the Dingley bill
the most careful study, with a view to
any changes which would benefit
American labor or industry. Any
amendments to the bill which are
deemed necessary should be imme-
dlately forwarded to the Republican
members of the Finance Committee Of
the Senate, and in this connection we
urge the greatest care and simplicity.
First, quote the section and the num-
Der of the section of the bill which you
desire changed.
Second, rewrite the section as II
should be.
Third, briefly give the reasons there
for and the facts supporting the same.
Statements prepared as above should
be forwarded to the Republican mem
bers of the Finance Committee at
Washington, as follows:
Hon. Justin s. Morrill,, u. s. s.
Hon. VIM. b. Allison. u. s. s.
Hon. Orville II. Platt, u. S. s.

Children I'm Holland.

Wandering through the crooked
streets of the little fishing village Of
Schereningen, from which the famous
Dutch watering place takes it's name,
/ heard merry shouts of laughter issu-
ing from a garden inclosed by high
walls. The gate was open and peeped
in. My curiosity was rewarded by one
of the sweetest sights l have ever wit
messed. About twenty little Dutch
maids and lads, their ages varying
from to q years, were enjoying a
game of ordinary American tag, while
a little attendant of about IL years
stood by, busily knitting, while she
watched them. A bell sounded; they
all fell in line behind the little knitter.
and walked demurely, two by two, in a
serpentine line around the garden and
disappeared in long hall, Mt the door
of which each child took off its little
wooden shoes and held them in one
hand behind its back.
In the meantime the principal came
out and invited me, by signs, to enter.
In the hall noticed the little sabots
laid orderly side by side. There were
three halls in this kindergarten; in
each were fifty children, between the
ages Of and 6 years-the girls in
gowns to their ankles, held out in bal
loon fashion with haircloth petticoats,
little white shawls pinned over the
shoulders, and caps covering their
straight yellow locks.
At this free kindergarten the chill
dren Of the fisher folk, many of them
fatherless, derive all care and atten-
ton. They are taught by the same
methods used in Germany. All seem
ed bright and happy. In one room they
were singing quaint little nursery
rhymes about boats, so one little fell
low made me understand by walking
across the floor, rolling like n sailor,
and then going through the motions of
rowing boat and pulling In nets. Tic
with great glee made me understand
that he would be fisherman when he
was $50 big" stretching up his arms,
and smoking an imaginary pipe. This
amused the children so much, and made
them shout and laugh so loud, that the
teacher was obliged to send them to
their seats and end our fun.-Washing.

During my recent stay In Cheshire.
an amusing incident happened at n
neighboring farm, where the people
were noted for making very hard and
unpalatable crusts to their pastry. One
day tramp came to the door and
begged for something to eat. He was
given custard. with crust so hard
that 1t lifted out of the dish whole. He

Our Heavy Los..

Few people In the United States are
aware of the fact that the carrying ca

eign trade of the United States-that is
to say, the tonnage of our own vessels

Such Is, however. the fact The value
of the imports and exports of the Uni

and yet there is slightly less aggre-

years ago. Such comparisons as this

British terms for discriminating du-
ties. 1t is pretty good term, too, and
we should like to see a species Of in
surance," for the protection of Ameri-

covered by good policy, with the pre-
miums payable by foreigners.

I think we have read enough of the
history of Gods dealings with His peo-
pie to understand that this is the way
of Him-that IL He ever Is absent from
His people it is not in their time of
direst need, and IL ever He does reveal
Himself to them as He does not unto
the world, 1t is when they are bereaved
of all outward consolation, and for His
sake are made to bear tribulation.-

E,.ctr;c Ligbt by Wind Power.

Electric lighting is commonly in the
country regarded as exclusively city
luxury. 1t is likely that the expense Of
carrying wires from house to house in
thinly settled districts would be too
great to make it possible to furnish
electric light on large scale economi-
cally. But the experience Of Nansen's
ship, the Fran, on her northern voy-
age shows that electric lighting by
wind power, transmitted to batteries
and stored as electricity, Is entirely
possible. In the high Northern lati-
tudes fuel was much too precious to be
used in making electric light. So big
windmill was set up, which was run
whenever the wind was favorable, and
by stored electricity made a steady
light all through the dark northern
winter. Such windmills are often used
on Norwegian vessels to work the
pumps. We may yet see farm wind
mills providing power to run dynamos
and charge storage batteries with cleo
tricity to be used for lighting farm
houses, as well as to do much work
that now taxes human muscles.

Poultry Pickings.

A good man is merciful to his beast,
also to his chickens.
Sanitary surroundings are Of more
consequence than medicines.
If you cannot keep your poultry in
comfort, cease to keep them at all.
Light is essential to the health Of the
hens, therefore, have good windows.
Eggs intended for Matching should not
be kept over four weeks. They must
be turned every day or two.

Use Plenty of Seed.

Seed is costly, but the poorest method
of economy is that Of using as little
seed as possible. A large number of
clover crops fail because not enough
seed is used, and it is better with some
crops to have an extra number of
plants to come UP and remove those
not desired than to have failure and be
compelled to replant, as the time lost
cannot be recovered

Variety of Feed for Hogs.

The hog gets at any time in his life
less variety in his feed than any other
kind of stock. This is especially true
when he Is being fattened. There are
other grains that have quite as good
fattening qualities as corn. A mixture
Of oats and barley, or of peas and Lar
ley ground together, makes feed that
will not only fatten, but will also fur
nish the due proportion Of lean pieat
that is required to make healthful and
easily digested pork.

For Calves at Pasture.

The calves at pasture ought to have

The Horses Shoes.

Some farmers make the mistake OF
shoeing horses when 1t is unnecessary,
and others refuse to shoe when 1t
on too long, just because they seem to
stick well. An expanding, growing
hoof will soon outgrow the shoe. The
shoes should not be left on longer than
five weeks.

Hedge Plants.

Hedges for protection are not as CON-
mon as they might be. They are not
only beautiful In themselves, but, II
properly managed, are cheaper than
any fence-except a stone wall. There
are numberless instances Of well-cared-
for Usage orange and honey locust
hedges being kept In first-rate condition
for half a century, and there Is no rea-
son to believe they might not last for
nearly as long again. They have to
be annually trimmed, and, indeed, are
the better for two trimmings a year;
but one who understands this will get
over the work SO rapidly, that 1t takes
little more time than 1t would to give
the annual whitewashlng to an ordi-
nary fence. When the expression well
cared for" is used, it simply means
that the cutting must always be Of
such character that the bottom of the
hedge is left the widest part.-Meehan's

On hundreds of farms are to be
found two small barns instead of one
large one. These are often detached or
attached corner to corner. Space is
wasted and work cannot be conve-
niently done in them without much loss

for making the most of two such
barns. They are moved to a position
parallel to each other and are then

Eprs ChilIed Before setting.

Early failure to hatch eggs very sell
dom come from lack Of vigor in the
germ; for in this the early eggs are
superior. They more often come from
allowing eggs to be chilled before the
setting begins. Everyone knows that
chilling after few days setting soon
destroys the life in the egg. 1t may
do so where eggs that have never been
set on are kept in contact with metal,
which rapidly abstracts heat when the
eggs are kept for greater safety near
the freezing temperature. Dishes for
holding eggs should be of wood, which
abstracts heat slowly.
