BEFORE THE BUGLES.

Lord Christ, Who died uplifted
On Calvary's awful tree,
Call back Thy lost world, drifted
So far, so far from Thee!
Come down, Thou King of Glory,
! Thou stately Prince of Peace,
And stop these revels CORY,
And bid the battles cease!
The people of. Thy calling
And their strong Saxon kin,S
On evil ways are falling, -
Blood-guiltiness and sin; go
They build Satanic engines
Of death and snarling flame
They kill for lust of vengeance,
And plumber in Thy name!
The old red God Of battle,
Of Israel's greedy brood,
Who slaughtered men like cattle
If but their lands were good
That old fierce God of plumber
His shameless guidon sets
Above our lannon's thunder,
Our dripping bayonets.
Call out the legions, burning
To smite the heather hordes!
The smiths are busy, turning
The plow-shares into swords;
Our lips have caught the spirit
Of ruffian songs of fight,
The meek no more inherit,
And might is surely right!
But ere the steeds of battle
Leap forward with the guns,
And ere the muskets' rattle
Adown the long line runs,
1t surely were beseeming
One parting thought to spare
To Lord Christ and His dreaming
He was so fair, SO fair!

In an entertaining article in the

Frederick C. Pe,field says that men of
the wealthy Egyptian classes are be-
coming daily less and less Oriental in

They wear clothes of Partisan make,

guests attending the opening of the
Suez canal. If the visitors are from
Alexandria only the Cairo gentleman
probably rings the changes on the con-
trasting temperature of the two cities,
wondering how Alexandrians can stand
the excessive humidity of the coast.
The visitors retaliate by claiming that
the great dryness of the capital affects
their health. whereas in Alexandria
they are always. well.
Thus the weather, in it's humid as

best and driest climate in the world.

1t was supposed until recently that all
of the blighting and rotting of potatoes
was due to one and the same cause. but
Investigations at the Vermont experiment
station during the past decade have
shown that there are several causes
which may act separately or in COM
bnation to bring about the destruction
of the potato crop. If the injury leads
to the death Of the leaves it Is called
blight; if il destroys the tubers it is
termed a rot. There are at least five
kinds of blight and two kinds of rot
against which the Vermont potato
grower must guard-and in addition the
potato scab. These are described for
our readers by Prof. Jones of the eX-
pertinent station, so as to enable any
farmer to know which diseases he has
to deal with. They usually occur in
the order here given: % Arsenical
poisoning. Due to excessive application
of paris green. Commonly causes brown
or black burned spots on the leaves.
These may not appear until several days
after the poison is applied. There is
much more injury from this cause than
plants are killed outright. Remedy
Apply paris green in more dilute form
and more uniformly. (2) Early blight.
This is a fungus disease which causes
spots much like those caused by the
paris green. 1t may cause complete
destruction of the tops. 1t never pro-
duces rot, however. Remedy: Spray
with bordeaux mixture. (3) Late
blight and rot. Every Vermont farmer
knows and breads this old enemy. 1t
requires warm, rainy or "muggy''
weather for its Development but under
favorable conditions will sweep over a
field and destOy every plant in a few
days. 1t is fungus. The same fungus
causes both the late blight and the rot.
| Remedy: Bordeaux mixture properly
applied is perfect preventive and will
fully protect the crop on any soil and in
any season. This has been shown by
nine years experience at the experiment
station. (4) Tip-burn. 1t is very COM
mon, especially in dry seasons or when
hot. dry weather follows a wet period,
for the leaves to "burn," especially at
the tips and .margins. This trouble is
worse when the leaves are badly eaten
by insects. Remedy Attention to pro-
per cultivation, and spraying with
bordeaux-paris-green mixture. (5) The
brown rot is a bacterial disease, causing
the willing and death of the stems, fol-
lowed by wet rot of the tubers. This
Is very destructive in the south and &C.
ours in the Hudson Valley of New York
state. The experiment station experts
have not yet seen it in Vermont, how
ever.

DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM-For two
years l felt tired and so weak and dizzy
that some days 1 could hardly go

not digest and had such pains in the
womb and troubled with leucorrhea

after birth of each child I grew
weaker, and hearing SO much of the
good you had done, wrote to you and
have taken six bottles of Lydia Z.

box of Lozenges, one box of Liver Pills,
one package of Sanative Wash, and to-
day am feeling as we'll as 1 ever did.

fresh as I did when a girl and eat and
sleep well and do all of my work. If
ever l feel weak again shall know
where to get my strength. know

to help him, he brooded over his plans
for twenty-five moths. Then he had
conceived every detail clearly in his
mind, had computed the exact proper
tons of each of the $4,000 parts, and
had assembled these parts mentally.
When his cogitations had evolved the
organ he dropped a note to the warden
in one of the various letter boxes the
warden has placed about the prison
grounds. He wrote. he said in this
note, to ask for permission to illustrate
on paper the ideas he had on building
an organ for one of the chapels. The
warden sent for the would-be builder,
and was so impressed with the man 5
intelligence and earnestness that he
told him to go ahead; that he should
have pencil and paper and all the
drawing instruments he needed. He
had never made a sketch in his life,
but he soon made hundred Ineligible
illustrations that made it possible for
others to see what before had been
visible to him only.
The warden sent these drawings to
organ builders in New York, and asked
for expert opinions. Both critics re-
piled that the designs We're excellent
and practical. with the exception Of
one point. They doubted if a reed could
be made to give the tone produced by
the siXteen-foot organ pipe. They be-
lieved eight feet was the limit for
reeds.
The genius said that if the warden
would let him go ahead lie would show
the manufacturers how easily it could
bA done. The warden said "All right
and the result is the two splendid or

the prison chapels.

The warden has discovered several
geniuses already. One of these built
the large reed organs in the Catholic

all the work himself and learned how

His experience in carpentering or any
mechanical work had not gone further
than driving rails in packing boxes be-
