An Emb ARA ssing Kindness.

There Is one young woman in Phila-
delphia, declares the Inquirer, whose
benevolent disposition received a Sc
we're shock recently. She was at church
and sat directly behind a tall, we'll
dressed stranger, who had a travelling
hanging over his collar.
Being one of those generous-hearted,
wholesouled girls who grow up to be
motherly old ladies, friend to every
body in town, she thought how glad
she would be if some kind-hearted
girl would do as much for her father,
If he were to go to church with raw
cling hanging down his back; so when
the congregation rose for the first
hymn she decided to pick it off.
Carefully raising her hand, she gave
little twitch, but the travelling was
longer than she supposed, and a foot
or more of thread appeared.
Setting her teeth she gave pull, and
about yard more Of that horrible
thread appeared.
This was getting embarrassing, but,
still determined she gave another
yank, and then discovered that she was
unraveling the mans undershirt.
Her discontinue was evident when
the gentleman turned with a kindly
and inquring look to see what was
tickling his neck.

Satisfied Them.

A lady who is a district visitor be-
came much interested in a very poor
but apparently respectable Irish family
named Curran, living on the top floor of
a great building in a slum district Of
her parish.
Every time she visited the Currans
she was annoyed by the staring and the
whispering of the other women living
in the building. One day she said to
Mrs. Curran:
Your neighbors seem very curious
to know who and what l am and the
nature of my business with YOU"
"They do" acquiesced MIS-. Curran.
"Do they ask you about it?"
"Indade they do, maam."
"And do you tell them?'
Faith, thin, an OF do not"
"What do you tell them?"
"Oi just tell thim," was the calm re-
ply, that you are me dressmaker, an
let it go at that"

turns the compass of the shock will
be so drawn that it can be easily tied.
Shocks tied in this manner seldom get
twisted or out Of condition.
For hauling in fodder we have two
designs. One Of theme is an ordinary
sled-like device that is easily construct
ed and will be found very handy for
hauling fodder. 1t will be found espe-
cially handy in loading fodder. Some
use this sled for hauling and the
shocks are not torn apart in hauling,
but are simply tipped over on the sled
and hauled away in this manner The
other device consists in a peculiarly
constructed rack to be placed on low

Prof. Lewis d. Patton of the Hartford
Theological Seminary, who is well
known as a distinguished student Of
Semitic archaeology, was approached by
a lady who had come as a guest for
the purpose of interviewing him.
"Oh, Professor Patton, I'm so glad to
meet YOU" the lady gushed, shortly
after an Introduction. II want to con
suit you about matter which has
given me much anxiety"
The professor looked politely inter
ested, and the lady continued:

should be lighted appropriately. Now,
professor, want to ask you what sort
of lights Noah had in his cabin, so that
our tableau can be as nearly correct as
possible from the archaeological point
of view"
We'll madam" said Professor Pat
on, after reflection, II do not know Of
any data respecting the time Of Noah;

Artificial Ice Ponds.

There are few better sources for get
ting good ice than from a properly con
structed artificial pond, because they
can be placed on stream of pure run
ming water, which can be let off during
the summer MONTHS and allowed to Til
up before freezing weather. The bot
tom can be cleaned before the water ID
let in and If there is no impurity above
the ice will be much purer than from
the ordinary pond. A pond containing
one hundred square rods should cui
about twenty thousand square feet, OF
five hundred tons, when the Ice will
average nine inches thick, and this
would be enough for several families
or dalrles. For single family with
small dairy, even six square rods would
fill an icehouse ten feet square, twelve
feet deep, or about thirty tons, more
than many use for dairy. If the Ice
was thicker or was cut more than once
in year, the amount would be largely
increased. Both these might happen IL
ordinary winters in this climate. The
ideal pond should be about 31a fee,
deep, ana with gravelly or sandy Dob
tom. Water in the shallow pond
freezes more quickly than in a larger
pond or running stream, and where
it is filled quickly the ice is clearer. A
grass bottom is allowable, If it BIZ
cleansed by moving and raking before
the water Is let in. The shallow depth
prevents danger from drowning unless
one goes in head foremost. For the
smaller houses one needs no expensive
outfit of ice tools. A straight-edged
board to mark Off the squares, cross
cut saw, and an ice chisel, a few pixies
a runway, with blocks and ropes tt
draw the ice up the run, are all that ere
absolutely necessary. Two men to cut
two to run it into the house and one to
pack it inside will make good gang fol
a small pond.-New England Farmer.

Winter Spraying of Fruit Trees

hpi ny VI trees.
The spraying of fruit trees during the
winter should not be neglected. Before
the leaves start the trunk and every
branch of the tree should be well spray
ed with a solution of one pound of cop
per sulphate in twenty-five gallons of
water to check scab, codling moth, bird
moth, tent caterpillar, canker worm,
plum curculio and San Jose scale on
apple trees, to be followed up after the
blossoms fall by the regular bordeaux
mixture of four pounds each of sui
phate Of copper and lime to fifty gallons
Of water. Some prefer to use six pounds
sulphate Of copper instead of four
pounds, but we are not sure that this is
any better than the other, while for
peach trees that have put out their
leaves the use of three pounds of sui
plate of copper to six or nine pounds
of lime Is thought strong enough for
fifty gallons of water But we are now
speaking of a winter spray before the
leaves come out. The mixture of fifty
pounds each of lime, salt and flowers

been recommended as spray that will

FRIDAY JUNE 6, 1902.

THE trust evil and its remedy
will, beyond reasonable doubt,
be the prime issue of the political
campaign this fall, as well as two
years hence; and the remedy offer
ed by the democratic party will be
the tariff. This is undoubtedly
one of the principal remedies for
the trust evil, and is claimed by
many as the only one necessary.
Others claim that unless the matter
Of discrimination in favor OF the
trusts by the railroads can be pre-
vented, that, they, Notwithstanding
the tariff may be SO regulated as
TO control them to some extent,
will still flourish and be able to
put unreasonable and extortionate
prices upon most of the articles
consumed by the American peo-
pie. The proper thing for the
democratic statesmen Of the nation
to do is, in our opinion, to make a
careful and complete analysis Of
the trust question, and determine,
not one but all of the conditions
which supports them, and what
things are necessary to break their
power. They should first find the
props upon which the trusts rest,
and then the best way to remove
them, 1t will not be sufficient to
merely find what some may
claim is the. main prop, but they
should find all. When all the con-
ditions upon, which the trusts rest
are found, the matter of finding
and applying proper remedies will
be an easy matter.

1.-THE FULL DINNER PAIL. +"

Two years ago this fall the re-
publicanswent before the country,
and achieved a great victory, hav-
ing for their campaign cry "vote
for Mckinley and a full dinner
pail" This war hoop won thou
sands ofvotes among the laboring
classes, and put that party in pow
er in both the legislative and ex-
ecutive branches of the govern
ment. That party was supported, in
fact run by the trust; and assuming
that it has kept faith with the men
who carry their dinner pals to
mills and mines, it will not be un-
fair TO take a peep into that "full

POLITICIANS AND PASSES.

One railway system IN Kansas
refused this year to issue free pass
es to delegates to the state political
conventions. The other railroads,
while granting passes as heretofore,
have served notice that it is FIR the
last time, and that from this day
forth, even forever, delegates must
pay the reduced cash "open rate
made for such large assemblages.
The wonder is that the Kansas
railroads have delayed so long in
making this rule, Even the threat
of bringing forward the "railroad
question" again as a political issue
is no longer to be feared, for it has
been demonstrated that the rail
roads are not at the mercy Of the
politicians.
From the standpoint of the poll
ticians, and those who think they
are politicians, the anti-pass order
is an aggravated form of tyranny
and one that should call for retail
alton against corporate greed. 1t
is q blow aimed at the inalienable
rights of statesmen which calls for
resentment.
From the standpoint of the rail.
ways the decision abolishes a form
of imposition that has been toler-
ated merely through regard for
custom. The time was when the
railroads were afraid of the politi-
clans. But since 1890 conventions.
legislatures, administrations and
politicians, great and small, have
done their level best without injur-
ing the railroads in the least.
Whether justly or not, the courts
in every instance have declared
void and imperative those laws
that were passed for the purpose
of fixing rates, reforming service
or "rogulating" commerce gener-
ally. Such efforts to harm the
railroads have proved abortive,
not only in Kansas, but through
out the nation, with rare excep-
tions.
After such an experience it is
little wonder that the railroads
should cease to fear the politicians.
And why should the common car
riers continue to furnish gratuitous
and unlimited transportation TO a
large number of political strikers,
whose "work" consists altogether
of whispering in hotel corridors
and doing lot of heavy standing
around at convention time? Not
one delegate in two dozen, not one
legislature in ten, not one "leader"
or "prominent citizen" in fifty is
able to give anything in return
for the courtesy of pass. Their
"worst," if it comes to the worst,
would be merely to make loud
noise-and the railroad managers
are accustomed to loud noise
