To KEEP BIRDS FROM FRUIT.-An
easy method of frightening birds away
from ripening cherries and other
fruits is to hang bells so they can be
rang by pulling a string reaching into
the house. Old cowbells, or few old
fashioned sleigh bells will answer the
pdrpose nicely. The frightened birds
will return after awhile, but it is but
little trouble to jerk the string again
This is much better than to shoot
them. 1t is true that dead birds will
eat no more cherries; but neither
will they destroy more insects or sing
more happy songs.

a@ A good hen nest is made by tax
ing nail keg, saving it through about
the middle, half way, leaving the back
slaves intact. Of course the hoops
must all be nailed fast before the saw
ing is done. This beats barrel nest,
as it is just the size required by hen.
Paint the inside with pine tar, white
wash over the tar, and the nest will be
insect-proof. Put in some straw and
chaff on top, and the nest is finished.

CARE OF PoULTRY.-To drive mites

cotton with turpentine and lay it in
the nest. The mites will all come out
on the edge of the box; then scald
them. A little coal oil in drinking
water for chickens is good help to
their health, and to break old glass or
crockery for them when gravel is scarce
is great help.

I PER RATION

After some years of labor friction, of
strikes, anxiety and losses, the planters
of these Islands will adopt some form
OF cooperation with the laborers,
which will vest in each laborer an in
terest in the plantation. After thirty
years Of strife. the great railway cor
porations are giving their employees an
interest in the corporations. The
Illinois Central Railway Company have
adopted this plan:
ION the first OF each month the price
Of shares at the New York Stock Ex-
change is telegraphed to Chicago. and
the paymaster Is authorized to sell one
share to each employee at that price.
Payment Is accepted in sums OF IS. or
any multiple thereof. Interest at per
cent. per annum Is allowed on the par
tial payments, and, when an employee
leaves the service, he must either pay
in full for his share and receive a GER
tificate therefor. or take his money,
with the interest added. The number
of officers and employees, otner than
directors Of the corporation, registered
on the books of the company as stock
holders, is 7O5, and their holdings
amount to 1854 shares. The number Of
stockholders registered on the books
is 6,526 Barely one-seventh of them
own over 100 shares apiece"

Briggs into the Protestant Episcopal
church, insists that there is a decline
Of faith in the Bible among the clergy
and laity. But the Sun claims that
there is a marked difference at the
present time in the discussion of these
questions. There is respect, liberation
of opposition and desire to seek the
truth which few years ago was not
possible. In a discussion about theol-
ogy forty years ago, between the
Andover and the Princeton Theologi-
cal seminaries, the contest was so bit
ter that the New York Herald sneering-
ly said that opening paragraph OF
every article written by the professors
were "allusions to the serious danger
of hell fire which confronted the oppos-
ing professors"
Such discussions are past. Whatever
the situation is, whether it be a de-
cline or rise in faith, 1t ceases to be
a subject which will be torn to tat
tiers" by angry disputants. 1t means
finally, light and truth.

SUGAR IN 1873.

In 1874 Chas. Nordhoff visited these
Islands and wrote a book about them.
He stated that there were thirty-four
sugar plantations. He was informed
that the planters who were out of debt,
and did not borrow, did well. But the
planters and their agents never acted
in concert. The agents took the pro-
fits OF the plantations, because the rates
of interest were high and the commits
SONS large. The wages paid in that
year were IS per month with food, or
81 without food.
