THE UNIVERSAL PRAYER.

FATHER of all in every age,
In every cline, adored
BY Saint, by savage, and by sage
Jehovah, Jove, or Lord
Thou great First Cause, least understood,
Who all my sense confined
To know but this, that thou art good
And that myself am blind.
Yet give me, in this dark estate,
To see the good from ILL.,
And, binding nature fast in fate,
Left free the human will:
What conscience dictates to be done,
Or warns me not to do,
This teach me more than hell to shun
That more than heaven pursue.
What blessings thy free bounty gives,
Let me not cast away;
For God is paid when man receives:
To enjoy is to obey.
Yet not to earths contracted span
Thy goodness let me bound;
Or think thee Lord alone of man,
When thousand worlds are round.
Let not this weak unknowing hand
Presume thy bolts to throw,
And deal damnation round the land
On each l judge thy foe.
If 1 am right, thy grace impart
Still in the right to stay;
If am wrong, oh, teach my heart
To find the better way.
Save me alike from foolish pride,
Or impious discomfort;
At aught thy wisdom has denied,
Or aught thy goodness lent
Teach me to feel another WOej
To hide the fault see;
That mercy to others show,
That mercy show to me-
Mean though l am, not wholly so,
Since quickened by thy breath;
Oh, lead me, whereso'er go
Through this days life or death.
This day, be bread and peace my lot:
All else beneath the sun
Thou know'st if best bestowed or not,
And let thy will be done.
To thee, whose temple is all space,
Whose altar, earth, sea, skies
One chorus let all being raise;
All natures incense risel

Provided by an Enciishman.

To thousands of English hair dress
ers. a certain side street in Lambeth
is known as the BARRIERS exchange.
AS a class, knights of the razor with
shops of their own are exceedingly
prone to having an occasional day off,
and in these circumstances they can
always hire an efficient man by send
inc to the BARRIERS exchange. At the
oDening of the summer season men
are eagerly snapped up by the various
watering places and so on, and there
is a great exodus of men into the
country. But when October comes
these men return, and may be seen
gathering, close either to an unpreten-
tious hair dresser's saloon or to quiet
hosiery at the south side OF
the Thames, often to the number OF
twenty to hundred a day. Each
man has his apron and the rest OF MS
kit in q more or less neat parcel, and
the general gathering time IS from
half-past seven till nine in the morn
ing. The early men usually get the
hest Jobs. and in many cases the man
who is sent out has to be provided by
the agent with his fare and part OF
his kit. The demand averages nIty
| BARRIERS a day. These men pay the
agent small fee, as does the man
| who seeks assistance.

stock sales first became popular i'll the
West, but are now fairly common ev.
erywhere in the stock growing sec
lions. A cattle dealer of long expert
ence lays great stress on preparing ami
mails especially for the sale. Even if
an animal is we'll bred, has a good out
line and other requirements, if it's con-
dition is unsatisfactory in any way, its
good qualities will be overlooked. The
cattle must be fed into good flesh and
must be we'll groomed and thoroughly
cleaned. This expert believes in judi
cious advertising as a means of prOmot-
ing n sale He advises that the sale be
held under cover, in order to be prepar-
ed for any kind of weather. The con-
struction Of temporary sheds of L few
boards and props will make the buyers
comfortable Before the sale begins,
coffee and sandwiches, or food of a SIM
liar kind, are passed around. Well
fed people make lively buyers. Finally
provide a good auctioneer, one who
knows all about stock and pedigrees
and how to describe them to the best
advantage. Good assistants should be
provided to handle the animals in the
ring. The sale is carried on brisk'y;
no unnecessary pauses. These sugges-
tons apply to general public sales of
any kind-American Cultivator.

BULLETS AS EVIDENCE.
Odd Fact Developed by Their Proni
hence in Murder Trials.

Odd Fact Developed by Their Promi-
hence in Murder Trials.
The important part played in many
murder trials by Tattened and mis-
shapen bit of lead or steel, once in
the form of bullet, often leads to
the development of some curious facts,
SAYS the Baltimore American. A lead
en- bullet will lose appreciably in
weight by being fired, and the form OF
the barrel may tend to reduce its
size. In a rife some Of the lead is
taken off by the grooves. The friction
also heats and tends to partially melt
the outside Of the ball, and because
of this it changes its shape in the air.
Que peculiar fact about bullet is
that it will often make wound OF
entry smaller than the projectile itself,
even in so brittle substance as glass
Another strange fact about bullet is
that it will often pass through inter
vening clothing, making a hole that
can hardly be noticed, GnG yet carry
On it's point a circular piece OF cloth.
The carrying of bits Of clothing, hair
or dirt into wounds in such manner
greatly enhances the dangers of peri
tonitis. Were it not for this latter
contact the bullet would not be nearly
so dangerous, as it rapid flight and
heating makes it practically sterile.
Blackened edges OF wounds are more
likely to have been caused by lead
bullet, although the bali with a lead
tip could also produce this result. Re
garding powder stains, smokeless or
otherwise, nothing of great value is

at a distance greater than twelve or
fifteen feet. At a recent trial, doctor
stated that from powder marks on
the face he judged that the shot mad

than three feet, which conclusion vas
later backed up by the assertion made
on the stand by the prisoner himself.

FACTS ABOUT THE DEAD SEA.
The Only Outlet Consists in EVapora'
ton,

Scientific observation justifies the
estimate that a daily average OF D.
100000 tons of water is received into
the Dead Sea from the Jordan ana
other sources during the year. during
the rainy season, says the chicago
Record-Herald, the amount is very
much greater; during the dry season
it is. OF course, very much less, out
this average will be maintained year
after year There is no outlet, and the
level is kept down by evaporation
only, which is very rapid because OF
the intense heat, the dry atmosphere
and the dry winds which are constant
Nv blowing down the gOrges between
the mountains.
This evaporation causes haze or
mist to hang over the lake at all
times. and. when it is more rapid than
usual heavy clouds form and thunder
storms sometimes rage with great
violence in the pocket between the
cliffs. even in the dry season. A Hood
of rain often falls upon the surface OIL
the sea when the sun is shining, ana
the atmosphere is dry as a bone nail
a mile from the shore. The noun
tains around the Dead Sea are rarely
seen with distinctness because OF TINS
haze.
The waters OF the Jordan, wh>~'
they reach the sea, are as brown as
the earth through which they t1oW-a
thick solution of mud-but the instant
they mingle with the salt water OF the
lake the particles of soil are preclpl-
tated and they become as crystal. with
an intensely green tint Carrying SO
much soil and having So swift cur
rent. one would suppose that the sea
would be discolored for i considerable
distance. but it is not so. the JORDAN
has quite delta at its mouth, break
ing into a number of streams and ire
quently changing its course because

Bacon Breeds of Hogs.

Several years ago considerable was
Delng written about the Tamworths as
the only breed that would make good
Gacon hogs. 1t is doubtless true that
this particular strain is best suited for
the purpose, but, on the other hand, it
IS a question if it ever paid any farm
er TO raise them exclusively True,
there are specialists who have made
money In catering to the fancy bacon
market, but they found it profitable
only after long years of experimenting
and fully learning the secret of feed
Ing to produce certain results. With
the average farmer, who raises what
pork he needs for home consumption
and perhaps a dozen head besides. it is
doubtful if it pays him to experiment
much with breeds, beyond getting some
strain that will give him the best re-
turns in weight at the smallest expense
for feed. If one is raising swine with
an idea Of selling the progeny when
young to other farmers, then consid-
cradle care should be taken to secure a
breed for which there is a demand, and
then to breed the animals on the plan
that will give strong, healthy and pure
bred young, and in this way work up a
reputation. It must be admitted, how
ever, that there is a demand for fancy

Modern names for Warships.

Lord Selborne, first lord of the Brit
ish admiralty, has decided to aban-
don the old practice of going to heath
en- mythology for names Of new war
ships. and in future all vessels will be
named after the countries, counties
and towns. The names of the two 49,
OOO-ton battleships Immediately TO be
laid down have just been announced
They are New Zealand and Hindoostan.
There are already among battleshlps
Dominion, a Commonwealth, Lon
don and an Edinburg, and it is SAID
that the two new armored cruisers
will he named Natal and Newfound-
land. The idea of the admiralty, like
our own navy department, is to inter-
est countries, counties and towns in
the ships that bear their names and by
This way to encourage recruiting for
the navy.

How to Treat Heaves.


In answer to an inquiry as to the
treatment Of heaves, a correspondent
of the National Stockman writes as
follows: ITO answer you in relation to
what you particularly wish to know, l
would have to know the age Of your
horse and manner Of breathing, that
might locate the trouble which pro-
duces MS irregular breathing. I will
say, however, that all forms Of heaves
are lncurable. The best that can be
done Is to alleviate. In old chronic
cases OF so-called bilious heaves the
first thing to do will be to regulate the
feeding by feeding hay very sparingly
and oats plentifully. Wet all hay with
lime water and give Fowler's solution
OF arsenic in tablespoonful doses three
times per day. This is best given by
mixing with a half pint Of water and
use to wet the grain feed. So-called
bronchial heaves can be relieved by
feeding as above recommended and CIV

mixture of powdered elecampane root
3 ounces, ginger ounces, powdered
squills 2 ounces, powdered lobelia 8
ounces, fenugrec 2 ounces, chlorate Of

WONDERFUL GLOVER OF EGYPT.
It Probably Will Be Introduced Into
the Western States.


Seeds of a wonderful plant called
"berseem' have been brought to this
country from Egypt by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and efforts will
probably be made to introduce it in
regions of the United States to which
it is adapted. 1t is otherwise known
as Egyptian clover" being nearly re-
lated to ordinary clover.
Berseem is likely to be specially
valuable to the irrigated and orchard
lands of California and Texas, and it
is thought that the Colorado desert.
with it's rich soil and abundance Of
water obtainable by irrigation, would
furnish an ideal place for a trial Of
the plant. It's yield of seed is much
heavier than that of clover, and it
develops at a marvellous rate, outgrow
ing most weeds and actually killing
out the later, reports the Saturday
Evening Post. DR.. David Fairchild,
agricultural explorer of the depart
ment, says that while Egypt's great
money-making crop is cotton, the foun-
dation of her prosperity rests upon the
berseem.
DR.. Fairchild says that there are
few countries in the world to-day
where agriculture pays better than it
does in Egypt, though the methods of
blowing and seeding practiced by the
people have scarcely changed at all
in thirty centuries. A million acres of
berseem is grown in the Valley of the
Nile, where it affords conspicuous
feature of the most beautiful crop
checker board to be seen anywhere on
earth. It's white Towering heads pre-
sent a lovely spectacle when adorn-
ing extensive areas, and one learns
that not only farm animals but the
Fellaheen themselves eat it.
Though the origin of the plarr is
unknown, it seems to have been In
PRODUCED into Egypt in comparatively
recent times, no representation OF 1t
being found on any of the ancient mon
uments. To-day all the cattle are TED
on it, as we'll as the camels and donk-
eys, and in the cities every cabman
has a sack of it under his feet with
which to feed his horse. In early
morning all the avenues leading to
the city Of Cairo are lined with long
files of camels and asses half hidden
| under their loads of the green forage.
The hollow stems Of the berseem are
very succulent, and the whole plant
is decidedly more delicate than either
| clover or alfalfa. Once introduced into
the United States, it would probably
be a great success, in some regions OF
the country at all events, and would
prove an important addition to our
| agricultural products.
