Flax with Other Grain,

Under some conditions it may be
advisable to grow fax with other
grain. Flax is a very exhaustive crop,
but in this fact lies the advantage
when grain is sown on very rich land
in mixing some tlaNseed with it. If
the flax is not grown the grain will
grow too rank a straw, while with the
flax to help exhaust the superfuous
fertility there is less danger of this.
There will be more of the grain
grown, while all of the faXseed that
is harvested will be so much clear
gain. Barley is one of the best grains
to grow with flax, and both are ready
to cut at the same time. But both
should be very lightly seeded if clo-
yer seed is sown the same spring, else
there will be poor catch of clover

end make a hole through which you
can put a strip of leather, whereby to
attach a piece of rope to the stick.
The rope should be about four inches
shorter than the twine. A quarter
inch rope is the best size. AT the out.
er end of the rope fasten a ring just
big enough to slip over the stick cas-
lily. In use proceed as follows: Take
the handle and ring in one hand. reach
around the shock, pass the ring into
the other hand, and then slip the butt
end of the handle into the ring. Now,
shove the ring along the handle down
to the leather, turn the handle out
away from the side of the shock. and
it will stay there while you deliber-
ately put the twine around and tie.
Throw the handle back, release the
ring, and go to the next shock" Mr..

inator of this device, but he is willing
that others should use it without

AMERICAN WOMEN IN THE PULPIT.

Women as ministers is the subject of an
interesting article in the Chautauquan by
Rev. Anna Howard Shaw. DIR. Shaw
writes without any feeling in the way of
resentment against the churches that eX-
clude women from their ministry. She is
merely telling facts.
BY the beginning of the twentieth cen
fury DR.. Shaw believes there should be at
least 1000 women preaching the Gospel in
the United States. 1t is claimed by the
United Brethren that it was their denomina-
ton that ordained the first woman in the
Christian ministry. She is Rev. Lydia Sex
ton. Miss Sexton was given holy orders in
1851 and worked IN the church as a minister
until 1890. But it is generally accepted that
the first ordination of a woman was that of
Antolnette Brown. who was graduated from
the theological school at Oberln in 1850, but
who was refused license to preach. OF
women ordained by the Congregational de-
nomination attention is called to Rev Annis
Ford Eastman, now assistant to Rev. I. Il.

When Horses Have Heayes

There is no cure for heaves; it can
only be ameliorated or lessened in ex-
tent by feeding on nutritive material
In small bulk, and more frequent ra-
tions. All voluminous and coarse food
should be avoided, such as timothy,
millet and clover hay, and only the
best wild hay given in small quantities,
preferably finely cut, mixed with mill
feed or steamed. food. Feed every
thing wet. Food and water should
be consumed at least an hour before
an animal IS used for work. 1t is but
natural that such a horse will be-
come weak and faint when driven or
worked hard all day, for such a one
is only capable of performing slow
and light work, and it is cruel to use
him otherwise.-Rural World.

Mr.. Justice Boyd, Judge of the
Court Of Kings Bench in Ireland at

membered by Daniel O'Connell, who

COSSAMER THREADS.


Con Scotch Moor.)
When fassies dance on the moor by night
Golden hair in the heather)-
Stray silkcn threads from their dainty

May haply cling to the Towering ling
Or the pink and purple heather.
CHine eyes are blind in the mystic light,
But none the less 'tis winsome sight.)
When morning breaks and the fairies fee,-
(Gossamer threads in the heather)-
The moorland shines with Slist ming lines.
Like harps new-strung with gold, and
slung
On the pink and purple heather.
(Gossamer threads are all see,
But none the less are they harps for me.)
And when the wind breathes, far and

Sweet music rings from the tiny strings,
And wild and free is the harmony
Thro' the pink and purple heather.

But Zone the less is 1t sweet to hear.)

Methodism has been making rapid
strides in London within recent years.
In 1861 there were only 13 circuits
with 43 ministers, 60 chapels and 49,.
S34 members, while now there are 81
circuits and missions, 200 chapels,
139 ministers, and SO, 75S members.
During this period, since 1861, the
sum of So, 500, coo has been expended
in chapel building, of which sum
London Methodists have given more
than two thirds. London Congrega-
tionalism has been distanced by the
jealous Methodists, and it is little
wonder accordingly that the leaders
of the former communion are now ex-
ercising themselves with the question
of church extension, its possibilities
and obligations. There is a legiti-
mate competition between denomina-
tions which, by fostering a friendly
rivalry, really hastens the time when
oil will be one in the unity of the faith.

Uses For Old Boiler Shells.

When the old boiler is so worn out
that it is of no further use as a boiler,
it may be that before it goes to the
scrap heap, the final estate of all
things iron, the shell-the tubes and
heads having bsen removed-is made
to serve as a part of a smokestack.
The iron used in the boiler is heavier
than that used in making stacks of a
corresponding size, and so the old
boiler shells make good smoksstacks.

The Atlanta Constitution observes:
Most of our European visitors seem
to think thsv wastefulness is one o
our main characteristics. Only some
few days ago DR.. John Watson, the
celebrated Scotch author, in giving
his impressions of our people, stated
that we had yet to learn the first prin-
ciples of economy in household mat
tiers. We may, perhaps, merit this
fling. In household matters we are
not as economic as We ought to be.
Every day we throw away rich food
products which we could utilize in
some way, if we only possessed the
secret of economy which is practiced
in European households. But while
we may be wasteful in this one re-
spect, it does not follow that in others
we are wastefrl also; nor is such true.
Indeed, the splendid growth which
we have measured along industrial
lines within the past few years proves
Enthusiastically that we have not ignored
the small economies upon which sue
cess depends. Tn this connection it
is pertinent to quote the views of one
of our recent French visitors. Says
this candid critic 1.-The attention paid
to small details in your big works is
amazing to me. [ have visited some
establishments where [ believe the
profits are not made in the manufac-
ture proper, but in the saving of ma.
terial aud labor by close attention TO
details, Tor example, [ saw in your
shops just now little gliudstone in
operation, automatically sharpening
tools. This machine probably cost as
much as one hundred of our ordinary
grindstones, bat it automatically
grinds all the tools for three hundred
high-priced mechanics. The skilled
mechanics in our country frequently
stop their regular work to grind their
own tools, and then do it imporfectly. "
So, from the testimony Of this candid
Frenchman, it itappear5 that Americans
are not wasteful in all respects OF
least. If time could be given to the
subject it might be shown that
Americans lead the world in most of
the economies upon which success de-
pends, but for present purposes t1e
above citation is sufficient.
