The Turtle.

What a strange animal the turtle is!
How strange that Its skeleton should
cover it, instead of being inside of it as
ours is! 1t can draw all parts of its
body into this box and shut it away
from every one. Openings are left iu
the front and back of the box. through
which it thrusts out Its head, tail and
legs.
There are two classes of turtles; land
turtles and water turtles. The land tur-
ties generally go by the name of tor
toises. They are of more value than
the others, as many beautiful. articles
are made from their shells, such as
combs, handles for knives, and eye
glass rims.
1t is supposed that tortoises live to a
very old age. None of these animals
like cold weather. The tortoise hides
away under leaves and logs; some bur
row down into loose, dry earth, where
they sleep, until warm weather comes,
Green turtles, that live in the ocean,
are considered very fine eating Some
of these green: turtles are very large,
weighing six or seven hundred pounds.
Their heads are as large as the head of
q man.

SWEETEST OF MEmoRY.s BELLS.

The signing, sad pines, and the jessamine

The lilies that rim 1.-THE shadows that

There is gold in the gleam of the harvest
and love in the hearts that are
singing!
And still as of old to the ether it's music
mellifuous swells,
And the wind that sighs westward is
swaying the sweetest of Memory's
bells.
Let me pass through the wheat and the
clover, o men and rose-maidens,

were singing me-singing me home!
And here, from the pain and the pleas

As the birds when the storm-winds are
blowing, as the ships seek the haven
from sea;
And fancy the violets know me in gar
dens of beauty and bliss;
And do not the red roses owe me the
peace of the prodigars kiss?
The sun is still bright at the portal;
there the love-light all radiant
shines;
Heart! Hearth there's a face we re-
member in the tangle and bloom of

Far off the glad reapers are singing-far
off in the rivery wheat,
And the arms of mother are clinging,
and the kiss of q mother Is sweet!

She Was a Heroine.

Among party of young men and
women who were taking an evenings
ramble the other day near the village OF
Clandy, in County Derry, was a young
man from Belfast who had come to

In crossing the River -Faughan by a

men around her to rescue him, but no

for the third and last time she leaped
into the river herself, and, clutching

How to Meet UI.Tenner

Illtemper is a habit, and grows with
every repetition, while it weakens with
lack of exercise. In dealing with a
child, it is now acknowledged by a
thinking people that to remove the
causes of fault, or to check it in the bud,
is incomparably better than to antag-
onize it afterwards, for thus a good
habit Is formed and an evil one him
dered. And what Is thus true in child
nature is equally so in all human ma
ture.
Sympathy, in it's best sense, is a PEI
tent instrument In allaying this evil. If
we did but realize the mental condition
of the one we blame for giving way to
anger or irritability or fretfulness, we
should usually find more reason to
soothe than to condemn.
At all events, most of us have proved
the futility Of criticism on this point;
and the true appreciation which comes
from a wise sympathy will suggest
many far more potent methods.

Angels Food.

The secret in making angels food lies
in the baking of it. Sift one cup of -four
and one teaspoonful of cream tartar
several times through fine sieve. Beat
the whites of nine eggs to stiff froth,
and to them add one cup and half of
sifted granulated sugar; mix carefully
into this, stirring constantly, the sifted
-four, and add one teaspoonful of ex-
tract of vanilla. Pour this batter into
an ungreased pan and bake in slow
oven for forty-five minutes. When
baked, turn the pan upside down on
something that will admit of the air
passing under it, and allow 1t to stand
until the cake falls from the tin. Ice
with white icing. Be careful in MAX
ing this cake to have all the ingredi-
ents as light as possible.

Spraying GRADS Vince


The advantage of spraying grape
vines is not alone in preserving fruit
from mildew and rot. Even when
these are not present on vines unspray-
ed, close examination of the leaves
will show patches of brown, beginning
early in the summer, and gradually
spreading during the season. The ripen-
ing both of fruit and of this years
growth of wood depends on the vigor
and healthfulness Of the leaves during
the growing season. Whatever Injuries
the leaves must by so much delay the
ripening of fruit and injure its quality.
Now that the Bordeaux mixture ap-
piled early in the season is known to
secure healthful foliage, there should be
no neglect in applying it.

Late Fall Seeding with Timotbx

A<dSC All Sccu1n0 WITH TIMOTHY.
Wherever it is desired to permanent
ly seed land for meadow or pasture
timothy-and, in fact, all the grasses
will succeed better if sown in fall, even
though late. rather than in spring;
we have. sown timothy seed up to the
time the ground freezes up, and have
had a better catch than could be got
by spring seeding. There Is some
growth of timothy whenever an open
spell Of warm weather comes during
the winter. If the ground is covered
with deep snow the timothy roots
will make some growth under 1t. The
wheat sown late may winterkill, but
the grass will not, even when exposed
to frequent freezing and thawing. No
doubt the tiny plant is thrown out to
the surface. but 1t catches hold of the
loose, wet soil again and grows as rap
Idly as ever when suitable weather
comes. On the other hand, the spring
sown grass seed barely gets rooted
before 1t is liable to be pfnched by
droughts, and that, too. before 1t has
got deep enough root to withstand in

Keeping Hogs In. ..Barnyards.

We once knew a farmer who would
not keep hogs. He was preiudiced
against pork as -Hnhealthful and
against the hog as being an especially
uncleanly animal. 1t is true, as he
used often to say, that no other farm
stock will eat hay or other fodder that
hog has nosed over or has trampled
upon. But that is itself no good, req
son for discarding the hog. One of
his best uses is to keep In the barn.
yard, or rather in that part of it which
has the manure pile. OF course, no
other farm stock would be fed here.
If cattle are fed grain of any kind. or
If horses are fed whole oats, the hog
will get much of his living from the
grain passed whole in their excrement.
In doing this he will add his own drop-
pings both liquid and solid, to the pile.
and thus convert it into much more
effective manure than the farmer can
get without the labor of turning over
and composing the manure pile.-Ex-
