EIGHrEEN years ago, when Presi-
dent Cleveland attempted to return
the Confederate battle flags, the
tempest of criticism that swept
over the country was cycloilic in
its force and extent. But the
world do move" The return Of
these flags was lately authorized by
a unanimous vote of both houses of
Congress, and nobody has had his
terics over it. Even Senator For
aker was silent, although on the
earlier occasion his denunciation OF
the proposal was full of verbal fire.

A lye wash applied to the trunks of
all apple trees along in April or May is
beneficial in killing the eggs of borers
and cleansing the bark. The solution
is usually made by mixing one-third
pound of Concentrated lye to three
gallons of water. The lime, salt and
sulphur mixture is most effective in
combating scale insects and may be
applied in winter to keep away rabbits
and towards spring for the same pur-
pose as the lye wash. The preparation
will burn the foliage if applied directly
so it should be used only on the bodies
and large limbs during the growing
season. Lime, either wet or dry, may
be used freely upon foliage without
fear of injury but it is of little value as
an insectitude. When freshly shaken
and freely busted upon the slugs that
infest pears, cherry and plum trees it
is effectual in destroying them. As u
coating upon the bodies of fruit trees it
undoubtedly does much to prevent
sunscald.- Field and Farm.

We cannot serve God if we are not
living in God, and God living in us.
TO serve God is to bring the spirit into
activity at every possible point Of life,
thinking good, doing good, and where
necessary suffering for good. The
greatness of this service may be seen
in the fact that it is always associated
in christian teaching with consecra-
ton. Jesus Christ said, "Ye cannot
serve God and mammon," as ye cannot
be going east and west at the same
time. The meaning clearly is that
divine service means undivided con-
secration, complete and absolute de-
votfon to the will of God. Love can
never rise too early, or toll too severely,
or give too lavishly; it lives to give; it
lives to crafty Others; its joy would be
taken away if its service could lie
limited. Joseph Parker.

THE HORSE AND MAN.
Animal Conquest Marked a Great Turn ing Point in History of Civilization.

The conquest of the horse by man. and it's final utilization for all pur- poses which are discharged by steam and electricity to-day, marked one of the great turning points in the history of civilization. In the great earth and sand preglacial deposits of Europe the true wild horse is as widespread, though not as varied, as in America. It is not at this stage associated witt the remains of man, because no pregla- cial man except the pithecanthropus or Trinil man of Java has been found In the interglacial or postglacial period the remains of man and the horse are first found together The first associa- tion occurs in the middle of the paleao- lithic, or rough implement, period. The discovery of all the possible uses of the horse came very gradually, how ever, for there is abundant proof that man first hunted and ate, then drove, and finally rode the animal.
 The prevailing drawings of the pa laeolithic horse represent him as hog named, with no forelock to conceal the low-bred Roman nose. A second type in the Mouthe cave, bearded horse with long, bristling mane long ears and convex forehead, is regarded by NJ. Riviere as another species. But it is not clear to my mind that these drawings represent more than the summer and winter coats of the same animal. Besides these Roman-nosed types to which Ewart traces the mod ern cart horse, there are others with small heads and fat noses which Ewart associates with the Celtic pony and possibly with the origin of the thoroughbred. Other cave drawings, reproduced by M. Capitan, leave little doubt that the ass was known in Eu- rope. It is also certain from abund- ant evidence in the caves of France that there was larger horse toward the south perhaps, while the smaller breeds may have frequented the colder northern regions.-Century.

The CoIdest City in the World.

The coldest city in the world is Yakutsk, Siberia. It is the great con- mercial emporium of East Siberia, and the capital of the province of Yakutsk. which in most of its area of 1,517,0G square miles is bare desert, the soil of which is frozen to great depth. Yakutsk consists of about 400 houses of European structure, standing apart. The intervening spaces are occupied by huts of the Northern nomads, with earthen roofs doors covered with hairy hides, and windows of ice.

HOW All SlN WON A WIFE.
Secured $2, ,O0O Bride Through Trick.
 ing Sunday School.

A certain missionary in one of the rescue homes in local Chinatown is disgusted and declares that she in. tends to retire and give up the work of saving souls. All on account of little "Dan Cupid" who has been using the mission as a means to further his ends.
 One day not long ago a neatly dressed Chinaman entered the mission and informed the lady in charge that in certain alley in Chinatown there was slave girl who wished to run away to the mission and study Christi. anity, but was unable to do so on ac- count of her owner, who was negoti. ating her sale for $2,OOO to an old gambler.
 The next day the missionary made her appearance in the alley, and with the help of an interpreter and a DO. lice sergeant rescued the girl, who took up her abode in the mission. She became an interested pupil and soon embraced Christianity.
 About the same time the Chinaman who had caused the rescue appeared. This time he wished to join the church himself. He had not been member long before he came forward with the request for a wife, which was granted. Among the names suggested was that of the rescued, girl and he chose her Her consent was the only condition, and, needless to say, that was easily obtained.
 The wedding was not delayed. The time taken to deceive the missionaries had been too long for the loving hearts. They were united by the mis- sion pastor, after which they left for a josshouse and were married by the priest in real Chinese fashion.
 The last the missionaries heard of them they were living in the heart of Chinatown and were worshiping joss, even more devoutly than their neigh. bors. Later it was discovered that the Chinaman, who was really the girls lover, but had not sufficient funds with which to purchase her, had used the missionary people in this shrewd man. ner. He got the girl he loved with out paying the S2,000. But the mis- sionary has lost her confidence in the yellow race.-San Francisco Call.

EVERYBODY WANTS A TIP.
Experiences of an American Woman
 While on Visit to Venice.

While on q Visit to Venice.
 One of the things that most aston ishes you with regard to the working class Italian is the perfect frankness with which he shows his desire for a tip. No false modesty obscures it. You may sometimes fear that you will for get it. Let such fears forever rest. He won't let you. He will follow you, asking you if you have your parasol when he sees it in your hand, or if you know the way out when he has just told it to you. The whole pool population of Venice is absolutely naif in its exhibition of desire for any small sum of money the passerby may throw it. The children, one and all, make demand for a soldino as mat ter of course. It is sort of greeting to every foreigner, casually, as a phrase of general usage
 Coming from the bath you fee the girl who has charge of the bathhouses. If you don't she has a dozen ways of making herself disagreeable next time you come. And do not allay your trou- bled anticipations by the thought she may not recognize you. One glimpse of a face fixes it in her memory for months. After that you fee the wom- an who takes care of your purse and jewelry. If you fee her enough she drags out from some inner recess 8 cheap mirror which distorts your coun- tenance and allows you to look into it and see how truly hideous the human visage can be made to appear. Before the bath you have feed the old woman who gives you your bathing suit. If you neglect her the next time you come she will give you a suit that doesn't fit you or is full of holes.
 When you go out on the terrasse for black coffee, which costs 10 cents, you fee the waiter. When you get into your gondola you fee the old man who draws it close to the steps with hooked stick and offers you his withered old arm to lean on. When you get out of your gondola at the ho- tel you fee another old man with a hooked stick and withered arm. And then at dinner, if you haven't just feed the waiter he will be cross, and up in your room afterward if the femme de chambre has not recently had tip she will refuse to answer the bell.-San Francisco Argonaut.
