HORTICULTURE SUGGESTIONS.

Turn over the compost heap and pre-
pare the soil for fall potting.
When plants are taken up from the
border for wintering over cut back the
tops freely.
The everlasting flowers should be cut
before they are fully opened and hung
IN the shade to dry.
Stake the cosmos and give the vines
firm support, for strong winds may be
expected this month.
Label the dahlias while they are in
bloom, and fnsten the labels to the
bubers when they are stored for the
winter.
A movable potting bench is a great
convenience for holding the pots and
soil and drainage material, and to pre-
rent theinecesstty of STOPPING.
The more tender the plant the earlier
h should be ported, so that it can be
ready for taking inside at the first APP
proach of frost. Plants requiring cool
temperature should be kept outside as
long as possible after potting.-Home

Reunion Of q sheep Family.

Sheep are gentle and loving, but NOT
noted for their sagacity, but there are
exceptions. A Pennsylvania farmer had
some fine sheep in pasture. and one day
some vagsbond dogs got into the field
and scattered them widely. The farmer
drove away the dogs and collected all
the sheep, as he supposed, into a smaller
field. Then he went home to dinner,
and had just seated himself when q
sheep came running into the room.
bleatiDg piteously and rubbing against
him. He rose from the table and she
ran out. He followed her through the
large field to wide creek, and there
on a rock was her lamb. Terrified by
the dogs, the sheep and lamb had
rushed to this place Of refuge, and now
the lamb was afraid to venture into the
water again. The farmer carried It 10
the bank in his arms and reunited the
family.

Take five pounds of grapes, two and
one-half pounds Of sugar, one pint Of
vinegar, one tablespoonful each of
ground Glove, allspice, cinnamon, white
pepper, and half tablespoonful of salt,
a saltspoonful of cayenne pepper. Pick
the grapes over carefully and wash
them. Put into porcelain kettle (six
or eight quarts) with a pint of water.
Place over moderate fire. When heated

thoroughly. Boil until the pulp is dis
solved, stirring often to prevent burn
ing. When the pulp is soft press through
a fne-pressed tin colander. (There

turn to the pot and boil, adding other
ingredients. Boil until quite thick,

american Corn for Mexico.

Owing to the removal by the Mexican
government of import duties on corn
for the two states of Vera Cruz and
Tamemlipas, and owing to the scarcity
of grain there, large shipments are be
ing made from this country, chiefly via
Mobile, Ala, which has facilities fcs
shipping to Mexican ports. One steam
ship company has already carried 7oo,-
600 bushels, and for August and Sep
TENDER the total reached 800, 900 BUSH
els. What these figures mean is shown
by comparison with the total shipments
to Mexico for the year ending June 80,
1896, the aggregate being 1,677,653
bushels. In the year previous the total
was only 1851 bushels. The corn
sells for $3.50 bushel in Mexican
money.

1t is rather curious fact about the
ounce that this fruit is less used by
itself than as an accompaniment for
other fruits. Apples, and even pears,
are much improved by having some
ounces mixed with them when cooked
or canned. Sweet apples, mixed with
one-third their bulk of ounces, make
very good pies. There are some kinds
of pears, like Bartlett and Seckel, that
are sweet, and when canned they be-
come almost tasteless. A few ounces
put up with them greatly improves the

We should discriminate between those

GOVERNOR GIVES ADVICE
MIR. MOUNT POINTS OUT TO YOUTH
THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.
An Informal Talk at the Y. NJ. G. A.-A
Society Man Who Became
AZ Policeman.

Gov. James A. Mount delivered a Christ
mas talk to young men yesterday afternoon
at the Y NJ c. A. Hall. There was present
large crowd of young men, many of whom
were attracted to the place by the small
cards announcing the meeting. These had
been distributed about the streets. The other
exercises of the meeting consisted of songs
by the Y. M. c. A. Quartet and by the con-
gregation.
Governor Mount explained that he had de-
clined when asked several days ago to de-
liver an address, but had afterward con-
scented when informed that no admission fee
would be charged He also stipulated that
he be not strictly confined to Christmas
address, but be allowed to give a fatherly
and informal talk to young men. The press
of business would not allow him to spend
any time preparing an address, but his heart
was SO full of love and interest for the
youth that he could talk to young men brief
~ without elaborate preparation.
He said the greatest event i'll the world
history since the fall of man was the prom

ages His coming was foreshadowed i'll proph-
ecies and in the fullness of time He came,

first place the greatest necessity in the be-
ginning of life was that the young man be

THE INCARNATION.
Rev. Mr.. Milburn's Sermon at Second
Presbyterian Church.

'"The Incarnation" was the subject of a
beautiful Christmas sermon preached at
the Second Presbyterian Church by the
pastor, Rev. J. A Milburn, yesterday
morning. In the course of his sermon DR..
Milburn said:
And this mundane practical side I be-
lieVe there is to the gospel or incarnation,
There is "a side on which it touhes God and
there is a side on which it touches us. The
Godward side we cannot fathom; the man
ward side we can; and it is to this side
that / want you to turn your thoughts 1
want you to see what the incarnation has
to do for you and for me, what 1T means
in our lives what deliverances II makes to
our consciousness and the contributors
it makes to our insight into and conquest of
the problems of the realm of religious
thought
There are those who say that the incar.

economy, that 1t was not necessary TOR Coo
TO manifest Himself in the heSh, that the
religious life is a life of evolution and that
the capacities for the divine being In man,
man could in time work out his own saIva-
lection are in him, and therefore he does
not need a savior.
Jesus Christ came from the bosom of
God to earth to prove to US what we could
never prove to ourselves, for it is in no
mans power to transcend the limitations OF
his own thought He came to US TO tell US
that there is a God answering to the God
of our thoughts; He came to tell us that
there is a spiritual world, external to us,
corresponding with the spiritual world that
has fashioned itself within our own minds;
He came from a heaven without to show
that the heaven that is within Is real ana
answers to the reality that is without
And not only does Christ do this, not
only does He come to witness to the real
existence of God, a real existence that we
could not otherwise know, but He also
comes to declare unto US and to reveal be-
fore our spiritual eyes in definite and final
lineament the moral character OF the eter-

is: so that if you or | want to know what

thence his career began to tend upward, I'M
til he died in the command of a fleet. An
other example was where young lady
called at his office seeking pardon for her
brother. She said her mother was widow
and had sold nearly all her earthly posses
sions to raise money enough to send the
daughter to plead for the sons pardon. The
Governor made inquiries and the girl was
obliged to admit that her brother was not
obedient to his mother, that he swore and
would not go to school or church. The Gov
ernor concluded that there was little hope
for reforming such young man, and dld
not pardon MIN.

POSITIVE CHRISTIANS NEEDED.
The Governor, continuing, said that more
positive Christians were needed and less
negative professors of religion. More men
were needed who would say mo- when con-
science dictated such an answer, and to say
''yes" when duty demanded an affirmative
answer Too many persons are influenced
by surroundings and fashion and are led to
do wrong to keep up appearances. 1t was all
right for the Christian to make money. If
he had talent to do so and did not God would
hold him responsible just as he would hold
him responsible for the manner of using 1t
after he had made it. The Governor told of
an energetic young man he had known who
was told by a young society man that he
must get into society, or society would dis
card him entirely. The young man said he
could not afford it and would let society
discard him. Now the young man is the
head of a large manufacturing establish
ment, while the society man is on the po-
lice force.
Another essential thing for success for a
young man to have, the Governor said, was
energy. There was no place for a lazy man.
He doubted if there could be lazy Chris
tian, but as this was a question that theo-
logians were discussing he would not go
into it: but to succeed in life the young man
must be started out right, must have the
courage to do what he believed to be right
to himself and his fellows and must not be
law.
