Most Wonderful Temple.

The most wonderful temple in the
world is built on rocking stone on the
summit of a mountain in Northern In.
dia. 1t is impossible to imagine more
wonderful situation ;ban that Of this
temple. The rocking stone is situated
on a mountain over twenty thousand
feet high. 1t weighs many thousands
of tons, but Is balanced on so fine a
point that a comparatively light pres
sure is sufficient to make it sway.
Whether or not the great rock was
raised to Its present position by human
hands is mystery to scientific minds.
If 1t was. the labor was one to which
no modern engineering feat can be
compared. The Hindu priests teach
their followers that the rock was
placed in position by the help of the
gods. In this way they add considera-
bly, to the feeling of awe which they
desire to create. The worshippers at
this shrine must first make the ascent
of the mountain, matter of great diff
ficulty. Then they spend seven days of
preparation in a temple built on the
solid mountain before they are permit
ted to make the final passage to the
mysterious rocking stone. To reach
the stone it Is necessary to cross a
bridge over great chasm. Nature and
man had combined to make this Hindu
shrine aweinspiring to the devout At
ter crossing the bridge the pilgrim
mounts ladder, to which he clings in
terror for his life here and in the here
after. The temple on the rock is nee
essarily a small place. Three priests
off1ciate In it. The mysteries which
take place there no man is permitted to
reveal. Europeans have seen 1t from
distance.

married men triumphantly arrive at
the same period. The difference gets
all the more marked as time goe, on.
At GO years of age there are only twen-
ty-two bachelors to forty eight married
men; at 20, there are eleven bachelors
to twenty-scven who are married; and
by the time they reach 90 the married
men are three to one for there are nine

Dom Pedro, the last emperor Of Bra
I'll, was a man of practical turn of
mind, as the following story told of HIM
well illustrates, says Harper's Round
Table.
He once gave an audience to young
engineer who came to show him n new
appliance for stopping railway engines.
The emperor was pleased with the
Idea, but wished to put 1t to practical
test.
Day after Tomorrow" said he,
Nhave your engine ready. We will
have 1t coupled to my saloon-carriag
ind start. When going at full speed I
will give the signal to stop and then we
will see how your invention works"
At the appointed time all was in read
iness. The emperor entered his car
rage, the young inventor mounted his
engine and on they sped for several
miles as fast as they could go. There
rame no signal, and the engineer be-
gan to fear that the emperor had fallen
hsleep. Suddenly the engineer came to
D sharp curve around the edge of the
cliff, when, to his horror, on the track
directly ahead of them the engineer
saw a huge bowlder
He had just sufficient presence Of
mind to turn the crank of his brake and
pull the engine up within couple Of
yards of the fatal block.
Here the emperor put his head out Of
his car window and demanded to know
the cause Of the sudden stoppage. The
engineer pointed to the rock, and, much
to his surprise, Dom Pedro began to
laugh.
Push 1t to one side and 60 on" he
said, calmly.
The engineer obeyed and kicking the
stone was still further astonished to
see 4 crumble into dust before him.
1t was nothing more nor less than
block of starch which the emperor had
had placed ON the rails the night be-

Every one must have noticed the
difference in size and productiveness
of different chestnut trees in our
woods, says the Massachusetts Plough
man, some producing large handsome
nuts in quantity, while others yield
only n meager crop of inferior size.
None of our native nuts, however,
compare at all for size or attractive
ness with the chestnuts of Spain,
Italy and Japan, which are easily
grated upon the common chestnut OF
our woods.
The peculiarities of these large nuts
are not propagated with certainty by
growing seedlings; these differ widely
from each other and from the parent
tree. 1t is, however, by no means
difficult to graft the chestnut, and by
this method the different varieties are
perpetuated with certainty Trees
grown from our native nut make ex-
cellent stock upon which to graft the
large varieties.
The italian and Spanish chestnuts
are not hardy enough to endure our
climate, but there are several large va
rieties from Japan that are entirely
hardy and much larger than any of our
native nuts.
If one wishes to grow stocks on
which to graft chestnuts he should
save the nuts now and pack them
carefully in sand in boxes made of
hemlock boards, which mice and
squirrels dislike to gnaw into, and
these boxes should be covered with a
foot of earth in dry place out of
doors; in spring the nuts should be
taken out and planted in rows two
and one-half feet apart, setting the
nuts six inches apart. After the trees
have made one or two years growth,
they should be grated near the ground
in early spring and banked up with
earth so as to cover the place where
the scion is inserted, but leaving its
point exposed to the air. AS with
any other grating it is necessary to
bring the inner bark of the scion and
stock together in order to effect the
union and to keep out dry air and
sunshine until the union is we'll per-
fected.
The chestnut is very useful tree
both for its nuts and wood and de-
serves to be planted much more large
ly upon our rocky hills where it
grows naturally, except in the more
northern parts Of New England. =

No one questions the value of n
flock of poultry on a farm when we'll
kept. All the estimates as to profits
are too low. There are eggs and
chickens that go onto the farmers S
table that never get into the account
book. Ny experience has proved that
with good market near by, small
flock, well cared for and skillfully
managed, prolific in producing eggs
and good for rearing chicks, may with
out difficulty pay, in clear profit, the
interest on $50 year for each hen.
This is only SO, and I have made with
the best of care and management fully
So year from small flock of light
Brahmas from eggs and chickens
alone. No fancy prices were received
for the eggs. They were simply sold
for domestic use, and were fresh and
guaranteed to be not more than three
days from the hens. The broiling
chicks, too, were fed well and reached
good size early, so that they were
tender and sweet to eat, and brought
high price.
Perhaps it will not be thought rea-
sonable, but have found it true in
practice, that sheep may be kept for
no more than a hen, if managed as
they may be. This is counting things
at cost, for it is not fair to fcharge
flock with fodder and grain at the
selling price and then expect it to pay
another second profit. But this is
often done, and yet this second profit
is really made from the sheep. have
fed sheep for seventy-five cents a year
over and above the value of the fleece
in cases where they have had to be
fed on costly food and handled the
whole winter. Elsewhere L have fed
sheep for seventy-fve cents a year, all
expenses included This is where
they have been pastured nearly the
entire twelve months. 1t has cost me
the same amount to feed hen, that
is, as it must be fed to make a profit
And in the case of the flock have
sold three -month-old lambs for $40 q
head, and the ewes, fat in the fall, at
a profit of So head. All this was
clear profit, for IN the most expensive
method of feeding the fleece never
failed to pay the sleeps feeding. But
as q rule it is quite possible to feed a
sheep for the same cost as five hens
and at the average value of their
products the sheep will be far more
profitable than the hens will.
There is the home market, however,
for the sheep reared on farm, to the
extent of at least twenty head, and at
the average value of the meat a sixty
pound mutton will be worth six or
seven dollars. And just here the farm
ers' meat clubs will serve good pur-
pose. These are mutual associations,
each member of which kills beef or
mutton in turn, dividing up the meat
according to some rule established on
fair and mutually satisfactory basis.
In this way the meat is disposed of at
the full butchers pricel and at the end
of the season an accurate division is
made of the funds in hand or of the
credits, the balance in cash accruing
to each creditor being settled. In this
convenient way the cost of the mea.

A Death UnWept.

These are sad days for the Democrat
ic party. I'm Kansas yesterday the po-
litical funeral in that state of the old
party of obstruction and free trade was
held with but little of the pomp usually
attending such solemn occasions. The
party of Jefferson and a past simply
allowed itself to be swallowed by the
Populists without a struggle and all was
over. No burial was necessary. There
were no remains to be consigned to the
tomb of oblivion. The Populists simply
said die and death resulted, leaving
nothing but an unsavory memory to
mark the place where the last conven-
ton of the unterrified was held.
1t is not to be supposed, however, that
the balance of the organization will
give up the fight so easily. In the east
ern and middle states, and possibly in
New Mexico, conventions will be held
and tickets will be nominated in the
hopes of resuscitating the corpse and
something of a struggle may be made to
keep up party organization a little
longer, but that is all the effort will
amount to. The past six years have
been particularly hard on the old party.
The Cleveland administration, of which
so much was expected and so little real
lied except disaster; and the past two
years of prosperity in the face of dire
full predictions of all manner of ca]ami-
ty, have served to draw a powerful con-
trast. The brilliant success which has
attained the efforts of the Republican
party to advance the country in wealth
and general prosperity, and the miserable
failure of the Democrats to even fulfill
the promises made in the campaign of
1892 have decided the voters as to
which party should be in power.
The action of the Sunflower Democrats
in giving up the fight and indorsing the
Populist ticket was an acknowledgment
or defeat before the nrSt gun OF tne cam
paign was fired, and the same lassitude
pervades the party the whole country
over. Hopeless, leaderless; deserted by
the greater part of the rank and file,
the future for the once powerful Demo
cratic party is dark indeed. But the
country can stand such a condition
with great composure, when it is to be
taken into consideration that a political
organization will take it's place which
may possibly have some object in view
aside from ''reaffirming allegiance to
the principals of Democracy as outlined
in the Chicago platform of the year
steen hundred and steenty."

A Sudden Chance Of Sentiment.

In the midst of alarm it is certainly
gratifying to the American people to re-
ceive the intelligence that neither Rus
STA nor France, and still less England,
would attempt to turn the success of
the United States at Manila to the adj
vantage of Germany. In addition to
this information the correspondent Of
the London paper which made the
announcement that America would not
be molested in managing the Philippine
question to suit the will of the people.
says that the international jealousies Of
the European nations will prevent
interference whatever in the matter. 1t
is very apparent that a change has come
over the European powers regarding
the fighting abilities of the United
States in the past two months,
1t has not been very long since Eng
land was sneering at this country as a
''fourth-rate power" and nov Great
Britain is very anxious to form an ALI
ance with this ''f%ourth-ratc power for
the purpose of controlling the world in
the matters of territory and commerce.
Only a short time ago Emperor William
was almost daring America to espouse the
cause of Cuba, while France and Aus
tria were fairly aching to teach the pre-
sumptious Yankees a lesson in inter
national politeness. And now the Unit
ed States is assured that whatever is
done by the government is all right aud
no wrong can be done by so powerful a
nation. 1t seems to be another case of
1.-THE king is dead, long live the king"
Somehow the idea is growing that the
rapidity with which this country has
emerged from the standing of a fourth
rate power to that of Il t%irst-rate, fear
less naval nation, has had a great deal
to do with the sudden change of senti-
ment in Europe. In this change of at
titude and the Difference which is paid
the stars and stripes by former naughty
neighbors there is a moral which vii,
not be lost upon the people of this
country: and that is, ''in times of peace
be ready for a fight the first time it il
offered" Peaceable intentions and iso
lation by water are all we'll enough 81
far as they go, but it costs less in Tho
long run to be prepared for any emer
gency.
The American navy is now secont
only to that of Great Britain, the stand
ing army has been increased more thar
one-half. and in the future when trou
BILE arises, which is to be hoped never
will be the case. there will be no delay:
of months in getting ready for war The
very fact that the country is prepared fol
war will prevent it.
