Scope of the civiI-service Act.

representative Grosvenor, of Ohio
introduced a bill last Saturday to de-
clare the true intent and scope of the
civil-service act. The bill declares
that the civil-service act shall not be
construed to embrace any of the en-
ployes in the government printing
Office or the bureau of engraving and
printing, nor any person employed
merely as workman or laborer, nor
construed to allow the appointment
to office, or promotion in any classes
of the civil service covered by the
act, of any person who has not passed
a competitive examination; and all
appointments since March 4, 1898,
without competitive examination
unless such appointees are specially
exempted, are declared illegal and
contrary to the intent and spirit Of
the act. The bill would compel all
these now in offices over which Presi-
dent Cleveland extended the shelter
of the civil-service act to pass exam
nations.

TENDERNESS.

Not unto every heart is Gods good gift
or simple tenderness allowed: We meet
With love in many fashions when We lift
First 10 our lips life's waters, bitter
sweet.
Love comes upon us with resistless power
Or cu-blesS passion, and with mead
strong will;
1t plays around like April's breeze and
shower,
Or calmly flows, rapid stream, and
still
1t comes with blessedness INTO the heart
That welcomes it Alright, or-bitter
1t wrings the bosom with so fierce a
smart,
That love. we cry. is crueler than hate.
And then. ah me, When love has ceased
to bless,
Our broken hearts cry out for tenderness.
We Ion: for tenderness like that which
hung
About us, lying on our mothers breast;
& selfish feeling. that no pen or tongue
Can praise Alright, since silence sings It
best;
a love, as far removed from passions
heat
As from the chillnesS Of its dying hre;
"A love to lean on when the falling feet
Begin to totter. and the eyes to tire.
In youths bright hey-day hottest love we
seek.
The reddest rose We grasp-but when 1t
dies,
God grant that later blossoms, vioiets
meek,
May spring for US beneath life's autumn
skies;
God grant some loving one be near TO
bless
Our weary way with simple tenderness!

Not Impressed.

President Kruger of the Transvaal Is
n man not easily impressed by rank,
title, or worldly splerdor of any kind,
and rot in the least ashamed Of his
own plain origin and rough upbringing.
Sir James Sivewright, upon whom once
devolved the duty Of taking an import
ant and rather pompous English duke
to call upon the President, told an
American about the conversation
which ensued. 1t was, of course. car
ried on through an interpreter, and ran
about like this:
Duke-Tell the President that l am
the Duke of -, and have come to pay
my respects to him.
Kruger gives grunt, signifying the
welcome.
Duke (after long pause)-Ah! tell
him that am 4 member Of the English
Parliament.
Kruger gives another grunt and puffs
his pipe.
Duke (after still longer pause)-And
you might tell him that l am-eer-a
member of the House Of Lords-a lord
you know.
Kruger puffs as before. and mods his
head, with another grunt.
Duke (after still more awkward
pause, during which his grace appears
to have entertained doubts as to wheth-
er he had as yet been sufficiently identi-
fied)-Er-it might interest the Presi-.
dent to know that was viceroy.
Kruger-Eh! What's that-a viceroy?
Duke-Oh, Il viceroy-that is a sort
of king, you know.
Kruger continued putting in silence
for some moments, obviously weary Of
this form of conversation. Then, turn
ing to the Interpreter, he said, gruffly:
Tell the Englishmin that was cat
tle-herder."
This closed the interview.

C!eanin. the roultry-House.

There is much less consideration
given the roosts and nests than any
other portion OF the poultry house.
With the desire to save labor the reosts
are nailed to the walls and the nests
are fastened in place so as to become a
part of the building itself, the conse-
quence being that it is impossible TO
thoroughly clean the poultry-house
and rid it of vermin; for as long as
there is crack in which louse can
hide there will be liability of rapid in
crease Of the pests, a single female
laying enough eggs in a day to furnish
the foundation for a million in o week.
Every roost should be level, that is,
oil the roosts should be the same height,
and should be so constructed as to
permit of being carried outside to be
cleansed. The nests should not be
joined, bu. separate, soap-bo-es being
excellent, open at the ends, so as to
compel the hens to walk in rather
than fly upon the nests from the top.
If the roosts aud nests are taken out.
side they should be lightly brushed
with kerosene and a lighted match ap.
piled. The fire will run over the sur.
face without doing any harm. The
roosts should be treated in the same
manner. If properly constructed the
roosts aud nests can be taken out and
replaced in a few moments, leaving
IN empty poultry-house, which can be
easily cleaned. Farm and Fireside.

and went away.
Time went slowly to the puzzled boys
for all their fun that day. 1t seemed as
if that after supper time would never
come; but 1t came at last, and Uncle
John came, too, with shiny skate-run-
ner peeping out of his great-coat pock-

Penalty ior pesertion.

Desertion in time Of war is punish
able, in all armies, by death, usually in
fiicted by shooting. In time Of peace
it is regarded by various governments
with different degrees of severity, ac-
cordipg as the military system is mild
or severe. In France, Germany or Rus
sia desertion, even in time Of peace, is
very harshly punished, but in the Uni
ted States it is punishable by term of
Imprisonment at hard labor. AS a
matter of fact this penalty is rarely in
flicted. The desertions in our army
number from 1000 to 1,200 annually,
and few of the runaways are ever
caught. s~x,

Ice For Dairy Purposes.

1t is not alone for creameries that ice
is important and necessary. The
farmers wife who sets her milk in
pans the old-fashioned way cannot do
her butter justice unless she has an
ice house to go to for ice to keep her
butter firm in hot weather. She is
usually obliged to adopt such make
shifts as hanging her butter suspended
in pail in the well or putting it in
the cellar, which, though cool enough,
is often too filled with odors to be a
proper receptacle Of butter.-Boston

There was much excuse for the
'man in the case" when horses were
valued in the hundreds, but at present
prices it seems as if every family
might own one just for the iswimmen
folks" one that can be always availa-
ble for shopping or visiting, and one.
that the children may safely handle.
1t needs reliable, good-tempered
steed for such an all-around use, but
such animals can be found, and they
are not necessarily old, broken-down
plcw ho-ses. 1t costs just as much to-
keep homely, disreputable nag as
one in which the owner can take some
pride. Brown Bess, my own driving
horse, is family friend and the great
est of pets. We are all proud and
fond OF her, and should any accident
befall her fancy they'd be as much
grieving as though one Of the family
was injured.
The average man likes to own q,
horse that he knows no woman can
control. Not very high ambition,
still one that no sensible woman will
object to if only she be allowed pre-
sentable steed of her own. That sense
of ownership! How much it meansl
Bicycles and horseless carriages may
rival horseaesh, but they can never
supplant it. There is q Joy in hold
ing the ribbons over o mettlesome
steed that no mere machinery can ever:
inspire. There is thrill that comes
when your pet measures speed with
the "other fellows" that is one Of the
keen pleasures of life.
So, my sisters, persuade 'John" TO
keep horse for your use. Once You
realize the pleasure Of pride and own
ership IN a horse that is worth owns
ing you'll never be content without
one. Learn to harness and care for it
yourself. It's very easy thing to do.
a few lessons will make you proficient,
aud by so doing you will learn the lit
tie peculiarities of disposition that are
as common to horseHesh as to men and
women. Horses are quick to know
and love their master, and by this
personal contact you will win an afec-
tion that is worth haying.-Detroit
Free Press.

The woman's Horse.

II there is anything that gives me q
severe attack of "that tired feeling
and drains my cup of sympathy to the
dregs, it is the farmers wife who is al
ways telling that she can't 60 anywhere
because she has no horse to drive.
From the frequency of the remark I've
almost concluded that these women
comprise three-fourths of the popula-
ton of Michigan.
Two of my greatest objections to
farm life are the abominably early
hours at which the average farmer
gets up in the morning, and the
wretched horses that he often owns. I
really don't know which is the more
entitled to coGmiseration--the wo-
man who ehas no driving horse
at all or tho one who is COM
PEELED to drive an old plrs es a
equine that cannot set pace
higher than three miles an hour.
One drove by just n few minutes ago,
and she is the direct cause of this arti-
Gle. Shewas pretty and stylish, but
I'm willing to make affidavit before
any Judge in the State that the horse
over which she held the ribbons has q
ringbone, a SPAWN, a severe case of
heaves and is blind in one eye. Her
look and the way she used the whip,
plainly said she was in hurry. The
look and action of the horse said also
that he was not in hurry. In con-
test between the two I'll stake my
wager on the horse.
[ watched them over the hill and
ovt of sight and fell to counting up
how many of her type I knew. The
list is appalling. To be sure there are
many women too timid to drive horse
with any 'life," but there are also
many perfectly competent to manage
a spirited animal if only they had q
chance to try.

Raising Seeding Apple Trees.

Tho best seed is usually that from
Gu ungrafted tree, though if it stands
near or the branches cross with some
good grated variety, part of the
seed may result in new varieties, some
of which may prove worthy of cultiva-
tion when allowed to bear fruit.
Bat most people only grow seedlings
ns nursery stock to graft with, known
varieties. To do this. take the seed
rs soon as it comes from the apple,
as very little drying prevents it from
terminating quickly aud results in o
feeble growth, while little more dry
ing kills the germ entirely. If the
ground is not open or ready for SOW
ing the seed, bury them in dry sand
and place where they will not dry up,
yet avoid the other extreme of allow
ing the sand TO gather moisture
enough to sprout the seeds.
Select piece of light, sandy soil
and SOW the Sc ed in drills. Keep the
land mulched and water il necessary,
as the hot summer sun may kill many
plants if this is not done. When the
trees are as large around as lead pen
cils transplant to about two feet apart
or more, and allow them to grow until
large enough to graft. This may be
done when q half inch in diameter,
but most orchardists would prefer a
larger size than that. In transplant
ing it is desirable to remove to bet
ter soil, but when they are moved
after grating tho soil should not be
too rich at first, or the growth of the
graft may be more rapid than thai Of
the stock, and awcakness result at the
point of union.
The same rules are applicable to
growing all Seeding trees, but the
seeds Of stone fruits, like the peach
and plum, do not lose their germinat-
ing power quite as quickly by drying
up as do those of the apple and pear.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Some white varieties of corn are bet-S

A farmer does not have to skin
sheep to get its wool, but the average

Sunfower seed is ON excellent food

the fowls bright, lustrous plumage.

An old-fashioned flower, very seldom

as Blackberry Lily. It has rather
small, bright orange, hly-like flowers,
