HOW moody Cot ont of 1t.

Many were the interesting expert
ences belonging to the first Northheld
conference called by d. L. Moody. One
especially shows Mr.. Moody himself
in his varying phases. 1t was the con-
versation hour at noon, and about 1OO
men were sitting under the tent on
Round Top
Mr.. Moody, leaning sturdily against
the tent pole, led the meeting. Sudden
" there came from him the plump
question, Brethren, how many of you
have so grown in grace that you can
bear to have your faults told?"
Many hands went up. Quick as
fash, but neither sharply nor insult
ingly, Mr. Moody turned to a young
minister and said:
Brother, you have spoken 13 times
in II days here and perhaps shut out
II other good men from speaking"
1t was true. The young man had
been presuming and oficious. He had
held up his hand, but he could not bear
to be chidden, and now he stoutly de-
Tended himself, only making matters
worse. Then another minister broke
forth and berated Mr.. Moody for his
bluntness. The latter blushed, but lis
tened until the reproof was done. Then
he suggestively covered his face and
spoke through his fingers, Brethren, l
admit the fault my friend charges me
with; but, brethren. 1 did not hold up
my handw-Youth's Companion

A HINDOO MYSTERY
BY M. QUAD.
D G . Q Q Q o Q o Q D Q o Q o Q . Q

For corroboration of what l am
about to relate l give you the Haidara-
bad Gazette of the dates of June 6, s
and "a of the year 1872. In those
three issues, as well as in others later
on. you will find much space devoted
to the case Of the man who went by
the name of Chilka.
This Hindoo Chilka, who was about
40 years of age, came to the canton
ment at Haidarabad as q peddler Of
fetiches. He had the beaks and claws
of birds, the feet of small animals, the
skins and teeth Of serpents and the
ears and claws OF tigers and panthers.
He claimed that all his stock had been
blessed by holy man and that each
and every article was q charm. The
native soldier is full Of superstition,
and the English soldier In India at
least hopes for good luck. Together
they always buy literally of these
peddlers There were charms against
death. wounds. sickness, loss and what
not. and the very cheapest and poorest
was a guarantee that its possessor
would never be struck by lightning.
The man had been selling his goods
for an hour OF so when a dispute arose

HOW TURKS EAT.
They Use No Tables, Chairs, Knives,
EnrLr~ nr plafpa

Forks or Plates.
The Turks use no tables in their
homes, and chairs are unknown, says
London Answers. Instead there Is a
huge wooden frame built in the middle
Of the room, about IS inches high, and
when the family assemblies to dine
cushions are brought, placed upon the
frame, and on these the members seat
themselves, tailor fashion, forming a
circle around a large tray which occu-
pies the center.
The tray is very large wooden,
plated or silver affair, according to the
social and financial condition of the
family, and thereon is deposited ca
pacious bowl. About it are ranged
saucers of sliced cheese, anchovies, ca
Ware and sweetmeats of all sorts. In
terspersed with these are goblets or
sherbet, pieces of hot unleavened bread
and a number of lockwood spoons,
with which to drink the soup.
Knives, forks and plates do not fig
ure in the service, but each one has a
napkin spread upon his knees, and ev-
cry one, armed with q spoon, helps
himself
When this is consumed, the bowl Is
borne away, and another great dish
takes its place. This time it is con-
glonleration of substantials, all stewed
up together, such as mutton, game or
poultry. The mess has been divided
by the cook into small portions, which
are dipped up with the aid of a spoon
or with the fingers.
For the host to fish out of the mess a
wing or leg of a fowl and present it to
a guest is considered a great compli-
ment, and for a Turk of high degree to
roll morsel between his fingers and
then put it into the mouth of a visitor
is looked upon as the height of favor
and good manners.

A Dye Wanted.

Our consul in Birmingham says that
several years ago one of the BARRIERS,
of threadmaking fame, told him that
the discoverer of fast black dye for
linen thread could command his own
price. Examine the thread holding the
buttons in mems clothing, and you will
see that after short time the black
disappears. and even new linen thread
has not sufficient depth Of color. 1t Is
impossible TO find in the English shops
mems black cotton socks with tops ut
all elastic. The ia st black dye for cot
ton was the discovery of an English
chemist English hose manufacturers
would not at Grst buy his secret, but
the Germans did and built up trade
all over the world1-New York Times.

OORyHOUsE.

ed The cribs may be made from six
to eight feet wide and of any desired
length. For 1000 bushels Of corn in
the ear the building should be 40 feet
long with cribs s feet wide and II feet
high In building this one should use
6 by timber for sills and by joist.
The floor is made of by laid half
inch apart so as to admit the free cir
culation of air among the corn. The
studding should be 2 by 6 set three feet
on centers, with by 4 girts notched
into the studding. The ends Of this
building are sided with seven-eighth
inch matched drop siding put on hori-
zontally except. the gable, which is put
on vertically with the ends notched, as
shown in cut The sides are covered
with / by inch strips set half inch
apart and are put on vertically. The
space between the cribs is II feet wide
and is closed inside from the bottom of
the cribs to ground, forming an inside
shed which is not accessible to any
farm animals. This inner shed is clos
ed by rolling doors at each end. The
cribs are boarded up inside the shed
with three inch strips placed horizon
tally a half inch apart to admit air,
and by opening the doors free circula-
ton of air can be obtained in fine
weather.
The shed is floored over above, form
ing an apartment II feet wide by 40
feet long for storage Of corn. A trap
door may be made in this floor to hand
I'D corn from below. The shed between
the cribs will make splendid store
house for implements. AS many doors
may be made In the cribs as desired,
says a writer in the Ohio Farmer, who
also gives the following suggestions
about keeping crops:
When roots are properly put away In
pits, they keep better than when stor
ed In cellars, especially seed potatoes
that one wants to use for late planting.
The difficulties IN the way Of keeping
roots in pits are the danger that frost
will penetrate the covering and the
risk of heating for want of ventilation.
BY the use of beard coverings or shut
tiers these difficulties may with care be
wholly removed. The board coverings
may be made of a length to cover one

found handy size. Any rough, cheap
boards will answer the purpose. These
may be cut into the required length
and nailed to crosspieces made Of 2 by
joist placed edgeways, as shown In
the cut.
When the roots are heaped in the
usual manner and a covering of straw
eight or nine inches thick placed up
and down on the heaps, the boards or
shutters are laid on the straw SO that
they nearly meet on the top. Space Is
left through which the ends OF the
straw project. The straw Is turned
down over the edges Of the boards
when the dirt is thrown on them. The
boards are placed upon the straw with
| the cleats down so that they lie hori-
| zontally There is then an air space OF
six inches between the thickness OF
straw as a protection to the root
In addition there may be as thick
covering of earth thrown upon the
boards as may be required. In most
places six to ten inches will be needed.

ROOT PIT.

Earth will always be needed and is
useful in keeping the roots ut an even
temperature, and so low that they VIII
not sprout or heat A few places in the
top of the heap should be left with tie
straw pulled up through the earth, as
shown at A and B in the cut These
places should be left uncovered for
ventilation. This pit may be opened at
any time during the winter, In moder-
ate weather, and when stock OF roots
has been taken out sufficient to last
week it may be closed again.

Drilling Grain.

The Minnesota experiment station
tried for several years drilled wheat
by the side of wheat sown broadcast.
These were field tests on considerable
areas, and they found as an average
that the drilled wheat yielded 90 pen
cent more than that which was broad
casted. The results were most marked
In seasons when the soil was dry, as
the seeds were well covered at uni
form depth by the drill, and thus ger
minated more freely and evenly.

Last night when my tired eyes were closed In

Heard, in the listening watches Of the night,
The sweet words melting from her sweeter lips;
But what she said or seemed to say to me
have forgotten, though, till morning broke,
strove to remember her melodious words.
Long long may janis eyes be blest with sleep,
Like that which stole him from himself last night,
The perfect rest, which, closing his tired lids,
Disclosed the hidden beauty Of his love
And. flooding his soul with music all the while,
Imposed foayetfulness. instructing him
That silence is more significant of love
Than all the burning words in lovers songs

Mai. S. E. Blunt, in answer to the
complaints of former Rock Island
arsenal machinists, that new men
have been favored over them in the
EN- ployment Of men, tells THE ARGUS
that there is no ground for such
complaint; that machinists now
taken on at the arsenal are employed
in accordance with the civil service
rules. which provide that after an
employees dismissal dates back one
year he must be considered "a new
applicant in seeking work. He says
the machinists who now feel they

could not expect to be recalled with

the civil service board, which recon-
mends men to him when he is in
need of more help. Maj. Blunt
further states that several of the ma
chinists recognized the rules and
applied to the civil service board and
were given employment when the
force was increased recently. and
that if the others had done like wise
they would have been given equal
consideration.
