PASSING OF THE BELL.
No Longer Esed to Record the Joys

| NO Longer ESGu TO RGC0T0 the JOYS
and sorrows of Humanity.
The solemn and impressive custom Of
announcing death by the tolling of the
church bell will soon be but a vague
and distant memory. ''The passing
bell'' has itself passed away, and it's
slow measured accents no longer tell
the story of the departure of one more
soul. The brief notice in the daily pa
per, while it conveys explicit informa-
ton, fails to give something that the
BELLS tolling carried with it. The SOL
emn rhythmic tones awakened mo-
mentary vibration in the breast Of each
listener and babe each pause for SYM
pathy and meditation. The bell ad-
monished the sinner to repent and
warned the thoughtless that time was
flying while it spoke clearly and COM
prehensively and babe all scattered
and preoccupied inhabitants attend it's
story.
The BELLS voice is identified with all
the deepest and most sacred human
emotions. 1t has bespoken the joys and
sorrows of all mankind for centuries.
Is it's voice to die away and have no
part in the life Of the future? The
wedding bells ring out no more save
in some song or story. The Christmas
chimes are seldom waited to our ears.
The church bells ring but family now
and under constant protest. ''The cur
few tolls the knell Of parting day" only
in verse. A sunset gun today gives
greater satisfaction. The angelus
sounds merely in pictorial form, the.
fire bells give place to still alarms, the
dinner bell is silenced in polite society,
and sleigh bells are discarded.
What is the future of the bell-that
happy silver tongue that has sung out
the joys of all the world, that solemn
tone that has mQurned for the the -nation's
dead and voiced the nations woes and
summoned to their knees the nations
worshipers ?-Atiantic Monthly.

She Was Ahead.

Marjorie had just returned from a
visit to the old homestead in Tennessee,
where colored nurse nearly 100 years
old was still an inmate. 1t puz-
zled her that Chloe should be called
"%auntie" by her mother and the family,
but at last she accepted the fact and
did likewise. Her playmates, troop
ing in to welcome her home, began to
enumerate their possessions acquired
during her absence.
"I've got a black pony" crowed

THE FIRST GERMAN PAPER.
BEN Franklin I'm 1892 Printed the
First Zeitung In America.

Ben Franklin I'm 1892 Printed the
First Zeitung In America.
The first newspaper printed in the
German language in America was the
Philadelphische Zeitung, published by
The Pennsylvania Gazette for June
S-15, 1892, contains the following an
nouncement:
1.-The Gazette will come out on Mon
day next and continue to be published
OH Mondays.
And on the Saturday following will
be published Philadelphische Zeitung,
or Newspaper in High Dutch, which
will continue to be published on Satur-
days once fortnight, ready to be de-
liyered at Ten Clock, to Country Sub
scribers. Advertisements are taken in
by the Printer hereof, or by Mr.. Louis
Timothee, Language Master, who trans
lates them"
In undertaking this new enterprise
Franklin expected to secure a liberal
support from the German population of
the province, for whom he had been
doing considerable printing, but in this
he was disappointed, and the publica-
ton of the Zeitung was discontinued
after few numbers had been issued.
The Zeitung was small sheet of
four pages, 61a by 9 inches, the text
printed in double columns with Roman
type, and at the bottom of the fourth
page bore the imprint: philadelphia:
Gedruckt hey B. FranckliR in der
sMarck-strasse, wo desc Zeit1ngen 7or
S%shilllngs des IahEs ~ bekommen,
Iad Advertisements zu bestellen sind"
The first number was issued June 10,
1882, and the second "sonnabend den
81. Juni, 1882" The publication Of the
Zeitung, therefore. antedates by seven
years the Hoch-Deutsch Pepnsylya-

QUARRlEs OF OLD EGYPT.
Where Stone For Pyramids of the
Desert Was Procured.

Where Stone For Pyramids of the
Desert Was Procured.
On the way to Phil9e and the head of
the cataract, a short distance south of
Assouan, we come upon the ancient
quarries which supplied the granite
for the columns, statues and obelisks
throughout Egypt for many centuries
An obelisk which we saw lies in it's
native bed. 1t is 50 feet in length, and
three sides have been carefully cut,
but for some unknown reason it was
never separated entirely from the par
ent rock. The surface bears the tool
marks of the workmen. The grooves
in it show that it was to have been re-
duced at the sides. 1t was supposed
that the stone was split from it's bed
by drilling holes in the rock and filing
them with wooden wedges, which were
afterward saturated with water, the
swelling wood furnishing the power.
From illustrations in the temples it is
clear that these great monuments were
foated down the river on fatboats and
RATS and then carried inland by arti-
fetal canals or dragged overland by
thousands Of slaves. In one of the
tombs at Beni-Hassan is picture il
Illustrating the process. The great stone
is loaded upon a huge sled drawn by a
multitude Of workmen. One man is en-
gagged in pouring water upon the run
ners to prevent friction; another stands
at the left Of the statue and beats time,
that the men may work in unison.
while overseers, provided with whips,
urge the laborers to their task. What
king desired to extricate this block
from the quarry, why it was left here
what 1t was to commemorate, we can
never know. The riddle Of the sphinx
is solved, but the riddle Of the obelisk
in the quarry will no doubt remain
with us forever.-Ch autauquan.

The farmer stalked to the cashiers

big hat that was new five or six years
ago. The cashier looked up in amaze
ment.
''Keep your hat" she said. est will

The farmer walked back to his table,
read the sign again and thought 1t over.
Then he climbed on a chair and took
the sign from it's hook. He carried it
up to the cashier.

People were beginning to laugh, and
the pretty cashier got red in the face.
She took the hat and umbrella and

UThe effect of the passage of the ship
ping bill will be two-fold: l. 1t will add to
our quasi-military and naval strength, and
give us a power and prestige upon the sea
which we sadly lack at present. 2. It will
gradually give to our own people the carry
ing of our $2,5OOOOO,OOO worth of foreign
commerce, and hence to our own people the
employment that goes with the payment of
$2OO, 900, 900 for carrying our foreign COM

UIt is to be regretted that three or four
influential republican senator's should have
seen fit to secretly nurse grievances against
the shipping bill so long, without frankly
stating the basis of their discomfort. But
as the matter has been brought to light and
SO adjusted as to unite all republicans in
favor of the measure, what might have hap
pened month ago is likely to happen at any
moment, now-that is to say, the passage Of
the bill.

EtThe back of the opposition to the
shipping bill was rather broken when the re-

Improving the Poultry Flock.

Those who endeavor to improve their
locks of poultry by selecting the most
prolific hens from which the young
stock will be produced next year make
no mistake, but there is much care
lessness on the part of some in the Sc
lection of males. Neighboring farm
ers frequently exchange eggs, in order
to add new blood to their foclls, but
they fail to notice that by such prac-
tice, continued during several years,
there is no out-cross made. Every
farmer who desires to improve his
focks should send to some distant
breeder, either for fowls or eggs, and
aim to secure pure-bred stock of some
kind. This should be done every year.
The result will be fewer cases of dis
ease, more prolific hens and better
quality Of poultry for market.

Linen and Einbroideries.

Many of the late designs of hand
some doilies are copies from pieces
OF antique embroidery several hundred
years old. The same coloring is re-
produced as well as the stitch itself.
New table centrepieces are of linen in
its natural color, with Russian deco
ration and lace to match. Pretty ta-
BILE covers in simple style are made OF
imported art linen in shaded colors.
Substitutes for real monograms and
initials in French embroidery are me-
Gallons of fine Hamburg embroidery
having the initial embroidered in the
centre. These medallions are shown
IL various sizes and can be easily ap-
pliqued by the needlework edge to any
piece of linen.
Art muslins for windows are made
with a good imitation of Empire en-
broidery, and cretonne, appliqued up
on muslin in various fanciful des'g
is not unlike the dress decoration NV

The Time for Planting Bulbs.


There is no definite rule to be laid
down as to the length of time in which
bulbs should be left in cold storage
AS general thing top growth will not
begin until root growth is completed.
This nearly always takes from six
weeks to two months. 1t is therefore
generally safe to begin bringing Oc-
tober planted bulbs to the living room
in December. Those desired for later
Towering can be lelL in cold storage,
where they Will remain dormant as to
top growth. By bringing bulbs to light
and warmln at intervals of week or
10 days we secure a succession of
bloom which makes it possible for us
to brighten our windows with their
beautiful mowers during the greater
part of winter.-Eben e. ReXford, in

Farm Sanitation,

There is a time when every farmer
who values life and health for self
and family and wants 10 save the suf-
tering and cost of illness, will think
seriously about the best things to do
to prevent sickness. A great many
will, of course, ignore suggestions on
this subject or any other, because they
simply won't get out of the rut they
are used to running in. And yet many
lives, much suffering and many doc
tors bills would be saved by the
knowledge of and practice of some sim
pie rules. And it is certainly well
worth the trouble-in fact, is may
save hundredfold in money alone
to study the rules of hygiene and san
itation that both theoretical and prac-
tical science have demonstrated to be
best.
In the first place the continuous tes-
timony of scientific experts and of
practical observers is that the great
est amount possible of pure fresh air
is the greatest preventive and the
greatest cure of many diseases. In
deed, it has now been shown that
about the only reliable cure of con-
sumption, the great scourge Of mod
ern civilization, is living in the open
air both day and night Even in SO
bleak a region as New England people
have succeeded in being cured of this
disease by sleeping out of doors winter
and summer. 1t is evident that every
house ought to be arranged to have
the freest possible circulation of air,
and it should be fresh air, not loaded
with the odors Of pigpens, manure piles
or other offensive matter. So every
farmer. if he cannot prevent bad odors
otherwise, ought to keep a supply OF
the best disinfectants and use them.
The next important item is pure wa
ter and plenty of it. If there is no
other way to get pure water the sup
ply for drinking should be distilled.
This is easily done by having tea
kettle spout to extend into a condenser
and keep it boiling all the time the
stove is running. This will certainly
get rid of every germ of disease that
is communicable through the stom-
esIH. OIC VI lut WolSI vi lllSoS ~
phoid fever. But water should be 50
abundant as to afford also the great
est plenty for bathing. This is thing
that the great majority of people do
not appreciate as an agent of health
and comfort. A great many people are
not aware that the skin is the most
important organ of the body in get
ting rid of the poisonous waste matter
that is being generated every moment
of our lives.
Farm WORK is necessarily dirty op-
Grafton. In hot weaLner, when the
sweat is pouring out and the dust fly
ing, the body is soon covered with a
sticky mass that will entirely check
the free action of lie pores. There
fore every one who does hard work
ought to take good bath and put on
clean clothes to sleep in.-Journal Of

Laundering Table-Lfnen-

The laundering of table linen needs
special mention With heavy double
damask no starch should be used, but

kind are laid in large towels and wrung

much better and be stiffer than when
sprinkled in the usual way.-Woman's

Feeding or Selling Grain.

1t is an important point constantly
coming up for decision, whether it pays
better to sell grain directly or feed it
to cattle, sheep or swine, and many a
farmer has found that his success or
failure has been largely dependent up
on the method adopted. When there
is famine in either corn or wheat
it stands to reason that with the high
prices that follow it pays better to
dispose of the cattle ana sell the grain
direct to the best market. Likewise,
when the crops are enormous and
prices low the wise farmer meets with
success who Immediately proceeds to
buy up cattle and feed them literally
with the grain for market In this way
many farmer has made his fortune
while others were complaining that
the low prices of grain were running
them. Instead of using grain in some
fields or grain elevators while they be-
moaned their hard luck.
Now, one of the most important ne
cessities on the farm is quick and prac-
tical decision, which enables the farm
er to meet any emergency. 1t may be
said that this is also the great busi-
ness talent The man who can decide
quickly and surely for the best in an
emergency is sure to come out ahead
Farming today has it's reverses, it's
changes and it's emergencies. No man
can foretell the size and nature Of the
crops, nor the prices which may rule
in the worlds markets for them.
Therefore he may at any time be con-
fronted with conditions that will tax
his resources and wisdom. No man
should raise single crop of anything
without Deing prepared to utilize it in
two or three different ways. If there
is no direct profitable market for it,
what then? Feed it to the cattle and
convert it into good meat, which will
bring profit. If there is no market
for cattle and they are selling as low
comparatively as grain, then turn to
the sheep or swine. 1t seems like
throwing away a good thing to feed
grain to swine or sheep. Yet with
careful feeding even the best grain can
be fed to them with safe margin of
profit, provided pork, mutton and wool
are selling WELL 1t is very rarely that
all of these farm products command
small prices at the same time, and one
is not apt to find that all of his re-
sources are exhausted. Nevertheless,
it is important that one should be
thoroughly prepared for quick shift
ing of his work. That is, the ability
to adapt himself to changing condi-
tions and intelligent adaptation in this
world is often the secret of success 1t
is probably the one thing more needful
among farmers, cattle and grain grow
ers than anything else. Al least that
is the opinion of your humble SUBJ
scriber.-E. P. Smith, in American Gull
tivator.
