s THE FARM AND GARDEN. TO TELL THE WEIGHT OF A HAYSTACK. To ascertain the approximate weight of of a haystack an English authority says: Multiply the length of the stack by its breadth, and multiply the result by its height, all in feet, divide the product by twenty-seven, which will give the num ber of' cubic yards; this multiply by six, if new hay; if oldish, by eight or nine, and the product will be the weight in itones. In measuring the height deduct two-thirds cf the distance in feet from the eaves to the top. FLANTING IN AN OLD OltCHARD. , Orchardists have usually asserted that voung trees would not thrive if planted lu the same place where an old one of the same kind had grown and died of old' ege or otherwise, although nature has been replanting her forests in this way for many thousands of years. There is no good reason for supposing that an old apple tree leaves anything in the soil that should be iujurious to a young tree planted in its place, and we would not hesitate for a moment to replace old trees of any kind with new ones. If the land is old and its fertility exhaused, fertilizers should, of course, be applied iu sufficient quantities to insure a vigor ous growth of young trees. It’s an old theory that a new orchard should never, be planted on the site of an old one, but it does not hold good in practice.—iVeto York Hun. WHITEWASH FOK POULTRY HOUSES. A capital whitewash is made by mix ing common, water lime cement with sweet, skimmed milk to the proper con sistency. The following is the Govern ment whitewash, and aline whitewash it is: Put two pailfuls of boiling water in a barrel; add one half of a bushel of well burned, fresh quicklime; put in quickly one peek of common salt, dis solved in hot water, aud cover the barrel tightly to keep in the steam while the lime is slacking; when the violent ebul lition is over, stir till well mixed to- getner, and, if necessary, add more boil ing water, so as to have the mass like thick cream, strain through a sieve or coarse cloth. .Make a thin starch of three pounds of rice flour aud one pound of strong glue, having first soaked the glue in cold water, and to the latter mixture a Id two pounds of whiting. Add this to the lime wash, and also sufficient hot water to dilute to the proper consistency; keep hot while g. It will require about six quarts of the mixture to 100 square feet of surface, and it will last re markably well. It goes without sayiug, that it may be made any color desired.— Farm and Fireside. KEEP THE COWS CLEAN. With cows constant attention to the cleanliness of the skin is indispensable to the purity of the milk. These animals generally escape injury to health from causes which would he fatal to other animals because the poison is carried oil with the milk. Aud in dairies where cleanliness is not observed as it should be the evaporation from the milk, which collects on the covers of the pails in which the milk is set for cream, or which may he gathered upon a sheet of glass laid over a shallow pan of milk freshly drawn from a cow, will deposit a quan tity of liquid of an intolerably foul odor. If oue will test the milk of cows kept in filthy stables, and upon whoso sides filth is permitted to collect iu adherent flakes, in this way, the foulness will be very ap parent. This odor has been called some times the animal odor and has been thought to be inseparable from the cow. This is wholly untrue. It is the odor of filth, which has every characteristic of manure, and which is discharged with the milk because it could not escape through the skin, which is the natural outlet for it, aud by which it would es cape freely aud imperceptibly if the skin were kept clean aud iu healthful action by means of thorough carding and brush ing every day.—Few York Timet. DRESSING AND SHIPPING POULTRY. In reply to several queries iu relation to preparing and shipping poultry for market we cannot do better, perhaps, than give the directions of one of the leading commission firms of New York to their patrons. They say: To insure they highest market prices for poultry the birds must be well fattened; crops emply when killed; nicely and well picked aud skin not broken or torn; thoroughly cooled, but not frozen. Pack in boxes with a layer of clean straw (rye straw is the best) between the layers of poultry in the same posture iu which the birds roost. Mark each box, specifying what it contains. Send invoice by mail. Ship to reach destination about the mid dle of the week—never to arrive as late as Saturday. In New York city three is an ordinance that specifics that neither chickens or turkeys shall be offered for sale unless the crops are free from food. AVhile poultry for New York and some other markets is seldom if ever drawn, that de signed for Boston and other New Eng land markets is relieved of the entrails when killed. It is important, therefore, that producers should learn previous to shipping just what their special market requires. This information may be ob tained by writing direct to one’s commis sion merchant for instructions. Many firms have printed circulars containing directions, which are sent out on written application. Whenever practicable, ship chickens, ducks, turkeys, etc., in sepa rate packages, Iu sending poultry for the holidays endeavor to have your ship ments reach their destination three or four days in advance. Bear in mind that the big demand for tine, large tur keys comes at Thanksgiving, and that prime geese catch the fancy prices at Christmas. Boon after January prices go up again. Capons meet a good market from the 1st of February on until* about Easter.—Few York World. WEIGHTING A WAGON. Ten years ago a man drew me a load of hay in spring, roads very rough and muddy, and fully two-thirds < f the load was on the forward wheels, because lie wanted to give the team all the advan tage possible, as the roads were so soft and the wheels cut in so.” He was as tonished that i should differ, ami when I told others of my surprise I was dumb founded to find nine out ot ten agreeing with him. They “knew by experience” that the nearer the load to the team, the easier it would draw, and that the large cast-iron tliinihle-uxle movedh load over rough roads easier than a small steel axle. After this I was led to notice loaded wagons;one day I counted thirty- eight loads of graiu iu bags going to market, and not one of them was loaded heaviest behind, mid such has been my observation everywhere. With potatoes the box is tilled aud the extra bags piled on forward, also salt, nails, and such heavy goods are put forward, and the lighter anil more balky behind. 1 re gard such loading ns great a physical heresy as that the horse that lags behind tloes the most work. “It is true tiiat the closer th<- load to the team the easier it will draw,’’if it is a log on the ground, hut put it on wheels and be the roads smooth or rough, it makes little differ ence. ami a long longue gives the team au advantage on rough loads,—The jiutbqndman, ■ FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Don’t your well need cleaning? Choose a cool day for picking apples. Keep right on cultivating the straw berry patch. Fight weeds, briers, etc., until they cease growing. Now is a good time to make mutton as well as pork. Put implements under cover as soon as done using them. For permanent pasture, timothy does not do well alone. The best egg-maker is good food. Feed the hen no other. The same fence should not enclose a young orchard and cattle. Get your ground ready for those trees you mean to set out this fall. Save seed from any novelties that have proved satisfactory witu you. Harvest the onions as soon as ripe. When dry store in a cool, dry place. Black cap raspberries do better set out in the spring. Put others out this fall. Stop cultivating the grape vines. The wood must be given a chance to harden. Put no “wind falls” in the barrels of No. 1 apples. It will pay in the long run. If there is marsh hay near you get some in readiness for covering the straw berries. Currant and gooseberry cuttings will do-better set out now than to wait till spring. Try it and sec. Begin your intense farming this full by burning all the weeds about the place be fore they shell their seeds. If you can put out some grape vines this fall do not wait tilt spring, you may be crowded with work then. You need not wait till the frost drops the leaves from currant and gooseberry bushes before making cuttings. Wiiere are the mower and horserakc? Better have them housed to-day. They will beot better value next season if they are. AVhile the corn is curing in the shock is a good time to get out the immure that has been accumulating during the sum mer. By the way, do you make your wife an equal partner in the farm plans? She may be the “better half” of the firm if you will. Every farmer should look over his farm often and examine his fences so that, his stock will not destroy his crops or be found in his ncighb ir’s lot. AVlicn a man wanls an idea, he scratches his head. AV’twii a farmer wants a crop he scratches his laud, and the harder he scratches the better the ciop. Don’t let any green tomatoes go to waste. Apples are scarce and green tomatoes make excellent pie;—arc good fried, arc goo! several ways. Save them. Very often the surplus product of a farm ciin not be more profitably invested than by puttin' into under drains, till the thorough drainage of the cultivated land be accomplished. AVherc thorough and clean culture has been practiced one can see how the crops lay hold of the fertilizers and arc corrc- spondingly larger. It pays to be energetic iu fighting the weeds. The size of the tile should be in pro portion to the length of the drain and the amount of full in the ditch. But the flooding of a drain tile depends somewhat on the depth to which it is sunk.- A correspondent of the Orange Judd Farmer complains that on his farm manure levs been a detriment rather than a help to his crops. The number of farmers Hi at have this experience is very small. Flax seed that has been exposed in the field to the sun’s ray’s until it is dry to brittleness, still bolds a latent moisture, which will develop when the seed is con-’ fined in a mass ansi result iu heat and de composition. A farmer should take care to keep easy ami safe ways of ingress and egress to his culitvate i fields. More wagons are broken down by going through deep fur rows or over ridges than by twice the travel on smooth highways. It is time that western fanners were taking warning from the experience of their eastern brethern. AVhcn they are under the necessity of buying fertilizers to keep up the fertility of their lauds they will sing a more doleful song than they do now. Green I a nil’s Ice Cap. The aspect of these boundless wastes rolling away in scarcely perceptible un dulations, aud in the distance mingling the gray of their snows with the gray of the skies, at first gave the impression that Greenland was a uniform plateau, a sort of horizontal table. The belief now prevails that the rocky surface of the land is, on the contrary, carved into mountains aud hills, valleys and gorges, hut that the plastic snows and ice have gradually filled up all the cavities, which now show only iu slight sinuosities on the surface. Allowing to the whole mass of the ice cap an average thickness of 500 feet, it would represent a total volume of 100,000 cubic miles. This sermer suak, or “great ice" of the Greenlanders, flows like asphalt or tar with extreme slowness eastward, while the surface is gradually leveled by the snow falling during the course of ages and distributed by the winds. In the interior of the country the surface of the ice and snow is as smooth us if it were polished, looking like “the undisturbed surface of a frozen ocean, the long but not high billows of which, rolling from east to west, are not easily distinguishable to the eye." Nevertheless, says a writer in Popular Heienet Monthly, the exterior form of the ice cap has been greatly diversified at lead on its outer edge, where in many places it is difficult to cross, or even quite impossible. The action of lateral pressure, of heat produced by the tre- mendous friction, of evaporation and fil tration, has often broken the surface into innumerable cones a few yards high, in form and color resembling the UnU o* Rapid Traveling. _ A traveler on the London and North- western railway, while going southward from Edinburgh by the west coast route, states that, noticing the great speed of the train, he lock the trouble to reckon what it was. In the space of six miles he found that it averaged eighty miles an hour. He was sitting in a compart ment of an eight-wheeled coach weigh ing about nineteen tons, and notwith standing the extraordinary speed, there was an entire absence of oscillation, and the carriage is described as being in a state of perfection. So far as any mo tion of the carriage was concerned, it was impossible for tile passenger to tell whether he was going at the rate of eighty miles an hour or eighteen.

Text: %t So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north."—Ezekiel viii., 5. At one o’clock on a December afternoon, through Damascus gate,* we are passing out of Jerusalem for a journey northward. Ho! for Dt-thel, with its stairs, the bottom step of which was a stone pillow: and Jacob's well, with its immortal colloquy; and Nazareth, ith its divine boy in His father's carpenter shop and the most glorious lake that ever rippled or flashed— Ulue GalMee. sweet Gslilea, The lake where Jeans loved to te; and Damascus, with its crooked street called straight, and a hundred places charged and surcharged with apostolic, evangelistic, pro- pueiic, patriarchal, kingly and (Jkristlv rem iniscences. In traveling along the roads of Palestine I am impressed, as I could uot otherwise have been, with the fact that Christ for the most part went afoot. We find Him occasionally on a boat, and once riding in a triumphal procession, as it is sometimes called, although it seems to me that the hosannas of the crowd could not have made a ride on a stubborn, unimpressive and funny creature like that w hich pattered with Him into Jerusalem very much of n triumph. J3ut wo are made to undertaud thatgenerally Ho walked. How much that means only those know who have gone over the distance traversed by Christ. W e are accustomed to read that Bethany is two miles from Jerusalem. Well, any man in ordinary health can walk two miles with out fatigue. But not more than one man out of a thousand cau w'alk from Bethany to Jerusalem without exhaustion. It is over the Mount of Olives, and you must climb up among the rolling stones and descend where exertion is necessary to keep you from fall ing prostrate. 1, who am accustomed to walk fifteen or twenty miles without lassi tude, tried part of this road over the Mount of Olives, and confess that I would not want to try it often, such demand does it make upon one’s physical energies. Yet Christ walked it twice a day—in the morning from Bethany to Jerusalem, and iu the evening from Jerusalem to Bethany. Likewise it seemed a small thing that Christ walked from Jerusalem to Nazareth. But it will take us four days of hard horse back riding, sometimes on a trot and some times on a gallop, to do it this week. The way is mountainous iu the extreme. To those who went up to the Tip Top house on Mount Washington before the railroad was laid 1 will say that this journey from Jeru salem to Nazareth is like seven such Ameri can journeys. So, all up and down aud across and recrossing Palestine, Jesus walked. Ahab rode. David rode. Solomon rode. Herod rode. Antony rode. But Jesus walked. With swollen ankles aud sore muscles of the legs and bruised heel and stiff joints and panting lungs and faint head, along the roads and where there were no roads at all Jesus walked. We tried to get a new horse other than that on which we had ridden on the journey to the Dead Sea, for ho had faults which our close acquaintanceship had devel oped. But after some experimenting with other quadrupeds of that species, and finding that all horses, like their riders, have faults, we concluded to choose n saddle on that beast whose faults wo were most prepared to pity or resist. We rode down through the valley and then up on Mount Scopus and, as our dragoman tells rts that this is the last opportunity we shall have of looking at Je rusalem, we turn our Dorse’s head toward the city and take a long, sad and thriiling look at the religious capital of our planet. This is the most impressive view of the most tremendous city of all time. On and around this hill the armies of the crusaders at the first sight of the city threw themselves on their faces in worship. Here most of the besieging armies en camped the night before opening their vol leys of death against Jerusalem. Our last look! Farewell, Mount Zion, Mount Moriah, Mount of Olives, Mount Calvary! Will we never see them again'!* Never. The world is so largo and time is so short, and there are so many things we have never seen at all,that we cannot afford to duplicate visits or see anything more than once. Fare well, yonder thrones of gray rock, and the three thousand years of architecture and battlefields. Farewell, sacred, sanguinary, triumphant, humiliated Jerusalem! Across this valley of the Kedron with my right hand I throw thee a kiss of valedictory. Our last look, like our first look, an agitation of body, mind and soul indescribable. Aud now, like Ezekiel in my tent, I lift iq? mine eyes the way toward the north. Near here was one of the worst tragedies of the. ages mentioned in the Bible. A hospitable old man coming home at eventide from his work in the fields finds two strangers, a hus band and wife, proposing to lodge in the street because no shelter is offered them, and invites them to come and spend the night in hi -home. During the night the ruffians of the neighborhood conspired together, aud surrounded the house, and left the woman dead on the doorstep, and the husband, to rally in revenge the twelve tribes, cut the corpse of the woman into twelve parts and sent a twelfth of it to each tribe, and the fury of the nation was roused, and a peremptory demand was made for the suiTeuderof the assassins, and. the demand refused, in one day twenty thou .and people were left dead on the field aud the next day eighteen thousand. Wherever our horse to- nay plants his loot in those ancient times a corj so lay. and the roads were crossed by red rivulets of carnage. Now we pass on to where seven youths were put to death and their bodies gib- l » led or hung in »hnins, not for anythin.; tin y had themselves done, but as a repar- «timi lor what th*ir fut.ier and graml- i.itijer, Fan!, had done. Burial was denied thc-o youths from May until November. Bizpab, the mother of two of these dead I oyv, appoints herself as sentinel to guard the seven eorp.-es from beak of raven and tooth of wolf and paw of lion. She pitches a bku’k tent on the rock close by the pihbfts. Bjzpah by dav sits on the ground in li\ nt ol her tent, ami when a vulture be gin* to lower out of the noonday sky seeking its prey among the gibbets Rizpali rises, her long hair flying in the wind, and swinging her arms wildly about shoos a wav the bird of proy until it ret rents to its eyrie. At night she rests under tin* shadow of her lent, mi l sometimes falls into a drowsiness or half sleep. But the step of a jackal among the dry leaves or tin* panting of a hyena arouses her. mid with the fury of a maniac she rushes out upon the rock Tying, “Away! Away!” and then, examining the gibbets to sc3 that they still keep their burden, returns again to he r tent till some swooping wing from the midnight sky or some growling monster on the rock again wakes her. A mother watching her dead children through May, June, July, August, Septem ber and October! What a vigil! Painters have tried to put upon canvas the scene, and they succeeded in sketching the hawks in the eky and the panthers crawling out from the jungle, hut they fail to give the wanness* the earnestness, the supernatural courage, tl'.e infinite self sacrifice of Rizpah, the mot her. A mother in the quiet home w atch ing by the casket of a dead child for one night exerts the artist to his utmost, but who is sufficient to put upon canvas a mother for six months of midnights guarding her whole family, dead and gibbeted upon the mount ain*:' Go home, Kizpah! You must lie awfully tired. You are sacrificing your reason and your life for those whom you can never bring back again to your bosom. As 1 say that from the darkest midnight of the cen tury Bizpah turns upon me and eries: “How dare you tell mo to go homeV I am a moth er. l am not tired. You might as well ex pect God to get tired as for a mother to get tired. 1 caved for those boys when they lay i n my breast iu inlancv. and I will uot for- Nawe them now tin! they a re d. ad.

They are tak ing care not to hurt ths feelings of the jackals and buzzards that roost on the shelves of the grog shops and hoot above the dead. I am often asked to what political party I belong and 1 now declare my opin ion of the polit ical parties to-day. Each one is worse than the other and the only consola tion in regard to them is that they have putrefied until they have no more power to rot. Oh, that comparatively tame scene up on which Rizpah looked! American mother hood and American wifehood this moment are looking upon seventy of the slain, upon seven hundred of the slain, upon seventy thousand ot the sluiu. \Yoe! woe! woe! My only consolation on this subject is that foreign capitalists are buying up the Ameri can breweries. The present owners see that the doom of that business is coming os surely as that God is not dead. They are unloading upon foreign capitalists, and when we can get these breweries into the hands of people living on the other side of the soa our politi cal parties will cease to bo afraid of the liquor traffic, aud at their conventions nomi nating Presidential candidates will put in their platform a plank as big as the biggest plank of the biggest ocean steamer, saying: “Resolved unanimously that we always have been aud always will be opposed to alcohol ism.” But I must spur on our Arab stee.l, and hero wo come in sight of Bearoth, said to be the place where Joseph and Mary missed the boy Jesus on the way from Jerusalem to Nazareth, going home now from a great national festival. “When) is my child, Jesus?*’ says Mary. “Where is my child, Jesus?” says Joseph. Among the thousands that are returning from Jerusalem they thought that certainly Ho was walking oa in the crowd. They described Him, saying: “He is twelve years old, and of light com plexion and blue eyes. A lost child!" Great excitement in all the crowd. Nothing so stirs folks as the news that a child is lost. 1 shall uot forget the scene when, in u great outdoor meeting, 1 was preaching, an l somo one stepped on the platform and said that a child was lost. Wo went on with the relig ious service, but all our minds were on the lost child. After a while a man brought on the idiit- form a beautiful little tot that looke I lilto a piece ef heaven dropped down, and said, ‘‘Here is that child.'’" Audi forgo! all that I was preaching about, and lifted the child R> my shoulder and said, “Here is the lost child, and the mother will come and get her right away, or I will take b- r home and add her to my own brood 1” Aud some cried and some shouted, and amid all that crowd I in stantly detected the mother. Everybody had to get out of her way or be walked over. Hats were nothing and shoulders wore noth ing and heads were nothing in Iru* pathway, and 1 realized something nr what must have been Mary's an xi»*!y wh mi sin lust Jesu s and what her gladue s when sh » found her hoy in the temple of Jerusalem talking with tooso old ministers of religion, tihammai, Hil el and Hetirnh. i Dear down on you to-day with a mighty comfort. Mary and Joseph said: “Whore is our Jesus?” and you say: “Where is John? or where is Henry? or where is George?” Well, I should not wonder if you found him after a whde Whore? in the same place where Joseph and Mary found their boy—in the temple. What do I mean by that? I mean you do your duty toward (rod aud to ward your child and you will find him after a while in the kingdom of Christ. Will you say, “I do not have anyway of iiifiuencmg my child?” I answer you have the most tremendous line of influence open right be fore you. As you write a letter, and there are two or three routes by which it may go, but you want it to go the quickest route, and you put on it “viuttoutiianipfon,” or “via San Francisco,” or “via Mars nil *s,” put on your wishes ah mt your chil l, “via ttie throne of God.” How long will su°:i ji good wish take to get to its destination? Not quite as long as tiv* millionth part, of a second. 1 will prove it. The promise is: “Before they call I will answer.*’ That means at your first motion toward such prayerful exercise the blessing will command if the prayer be made at 10 o’clock at night it will be answered five minutes before ten. “Before they call 1 will answer.’’ Well, you say, I am clear discouraged about my son, and 1 am getting on iu years, and I fear 1 will not live to sc > him c invert ed. Perhaps not. Never Mi e’e.S' 1 think you will find him iu th * temple, tli3 heavenly temple. There has not. been an lio n* in heaven the last one hn idrc 1 years when pa rents in glory had not had announ''ed to them the salvation of childre i whom they left in this world prodigal*. Wo oft *n have to say “I forgot,” but God lias never yet onco said “I forgot.” It. may b* nt'. e* the grass of thirty summers Ins greened the top of your grave that your son may be found in the earthly temple * It may bo fifty years from S ow when soma morning the towers are chi n- ig the matins to the glorified i i h *av *n that you shall fin 1 him in the higher temple which has “no no *d of candle or of sun. for the Lord God and the Lamb are the light thereof.’' Cheer up, Christian father and mother 1 Cheer up! Where Joseph and Mary found their Ixjy you will find yours—in the temple. You see, God could not afford to do other wise. One of the things Ho has positively promised in the Bible is that He will answer earnest and believing prayer. Failing to do that He would wreck His own throne, and the foundation of His palace would give way, and the bank of heaven would suspend payment, and the dark word, “repudiation,” would be written across the sky, and the eternal government would be disbanded and God Himself would become an exile. Keep on with your prayer, and you will yet find our child in the temple, either th) temple ere or the temple above. Out on the western prairies was a happy but isolated home. Father, mother and child. By tho sale of cattle quite a largo sum of money was oue night in that cabin, and the father was away. A robber who had heard of tho money oue night looked in at the window, and the wife and mother of that home saw him and she was helpless. Her child by her side, she knelt down and prayed among other things for all prodigals who were wandering up and down the world. The robber heard her prayer aud was fiver- whelmed aud entered the cabin and knelt beside her and began to pray. He had come to rob that hour,'*, but tho prayer of that woman for prodigals reminded him of h s mother ami ner prayers before he became a u-i u a cui a nttu-r mat* was inn «;uy in a great audience, and the orator who came ou the platform and plead gloriously for nguteoittnes* mm no,t w>:s the man whe many years bfifoiv hail In.

Whoa! Whoa We dismount in this place, memorable foi many tilings in Bible history, the two mor. promineuta theological seminary, whereof ok they made ministers, and for Jacob’s dream l he students of this Bethel Theological Semi- nary were railed ‘‘sons of the prophets.’' Here the young men were lined for the ministry, and those of us who ever had tin advantage of such institutions will overlast- ingly be grateful, and iu the calendar ol saints, which 1 road with especial affection are the doctors of divinity who blessed mo with their ear.'. 1 thank God that from the^e theological seminaries there is now coming forth a mag nificent crop of young ministers, who are taking the pulpits in all parts of the land. I hail their coning, and tell thesa young hrotJiera to shake off' the somnolence of eem turies, and get oiit from under the dusty she!vos of theological discussions which have no practical hearing on this age, which needs to get rid of its sins and have its sorrows Comforted Many of our pulpits are dying of humdrum. People do not go to church because they cannot endure the technicalities and profound explanations of nothing, and sermons alanit the “eternal geiibratfoii of the son,” and the difference between sub- luisarianism aud supra-lapsarianiini, and about who Melcliisedec wasn’t. There ought to be as much differenca between the modes of presenting truth now and in olden time as between a lightning express rail train mid a canal boat Years ago I went up to tho door of a fac tory in New England. On the outside door I the word-, “No admittance." I went in and came t»auot her door over which were the words, “No admittance.” Of course I went in, and came to the third door inscribed with the words, “No admittance.” Having entered this I found t he people inside making pins, be'iiititul pins, usetul pins, and nothing but pins. So over the Outside door of many of the churches has been practically written the words, ‘‘No admittance.” Some have entered and have come to the inside door and found tho words, “No admittance.” But. persisting, they have come inside and found us sunn tin ; out nur little niceties of belief pointing out our little differences of theologi- eat sentiment—making pins! But most distinguished was Bethel for that famous dream which Jacob had, his hea l on a collerttim of stones. He had no trouble m this rocky region in tindiug n rocky pillow. There is hardly anything else but stone. Yet •he people of those lauds have a way of or ■ w- ing their outer garment up over their b id ami face, ami such a pillow 1 suppose J.e ob had under his head. The plural was il i iu tho Bible story, and you find it was not a pillow of stone, but of stones, I suppose, so that it one proved to l.cof uneven surfac-j he wuuiff turn over lu tho ulght aud take au* otner stone, tor witu such a Hard bolster ne would often change in the night. Well, that night God built in Jacob's dream a long, splendid ladder, the feet of it on either side of tho tired pilgrim’s pillow, and the top of It mortised in the sky. And bright Immor tals came out from the casth’s of amber and gold and put their shining feet on the shining rungs of the ladder, and they kept coming down and going up, a procession both ways. I suppose they had wings, for the Bible almost always reports them as having wings, but this was a ladder on which they used hands and feet lo encourage all those of us who have no wings to climb, and en couraging us to believe that if we will use what we have God will provido a way, and if we will employ the hand and foot He will furnish the ladder. Young man, do not wait tor wings. Those angels folded theirs to show you wings are not necessary. Let all the people who have hard pillows—hard for sickness, or hard for poverty, orhardfor persistence—know that a hard pillow is the lauding place for angels. Tney seldom descend to pillows of eiderdown. They seldom build dreams in the bra<n of the ona who sleeps easy. The greatest dream of all time was that of St. John, with his head on the rocks of Pat inos, and m that vision he heard the seven trumpets sounded, and saw all the pomp of heav ii iu procession cherubic, seraphic, nrchangelic. The next most memorable and glorious dream was that of John Buuvau, his pillow the cold stone of the floor Of Bed ford jail. from which he saw the celestial city, and so many entering it he cried out in his*dream, “I wish myself atnoug them .” The next most wonderful dream was that Washington sleeping ou tbs ground at Val ley Forge, his head on a white pillowcase of snow, where he saw the vision of a nation emancipated. Columbus slept on a weaver's pillow, but rose on the ladder let down until he could see a new hemisphere. Demosthenes slept on a cutter's pillow, hut on the ladder lot dow ii arose to see the mighty assemblages that were to be swayed by his oratory. Ark wright slept on a barber's pillow, but went up ilia ladder till he could see all England quake with the factories he set going. A ken- side slept on a butcher s pillow, and took the ladder up till he saw other generations helped bv bis scholarship. John Ashworth slept on a poor man’s pil low, hut took the ladder up until he could see his prayers and exertions bringing tlmu- s" els of the destitute in England to salvation and heaven. Nearly al! those who are to day great in merchandise, in statesmanship, in law, in medicine, in art, in literature, were once nt tho foot of the ladder, and in their boyhood had a pillow hard as Jacob’s. They who are born at the top of the ladder are apt to spend their lives in comiug down, while those who are at the foot, and their head ou a bowlder, if they have the right kind of dream, are almost sure to rise. I notice that those angels, either incom ing down or going up on Jacob's ladder, took it rung by rung. They did not leap to the bottom nor jump to the top. Bo you are to rise. Faitli added to faith, good deed to good deed, industry to industry,' conse cration to consecration, until you reach the top, rung by rung. Gradual going up from a block of granite to a pillar or tbrone. That night at Bethel I stood in front of m jr teiu and looked up, aud the heavens were full of ladders, first a ladder of clouds, then a ladder of stars, ami all up and down the heavens were angels of beauty, angels of consolation, augels of God, ascending and descending. “Surely, God is in this jpiace,” said Jacob, "nnd I knew it not.” But to- nisdit God is in this place and I know it. Tho Deserters Brand ou His Breast. “Give us five cents for a drink, sir?” The speaker was a brawny, middle-aged man in seedy attire. “Goto thunder,” said the man ad dressed, roughly. “I've gone there already,” answered the man meekly. “Some years ago I was a well-off man as a soldier in tho English nriny.” “In what regiment were you?" asked the other, who was well posted on tho English army. “I was a farrier in the Tenth Hussars.” “Were you! What is the name hy which they are known in the service?" ‘ Why, everybody knows as they arc the Cherubinis,’cos of their red breeches. I served in tho Sixty-fifth Foot, too, sir, the South Hampshire regiment." “Do you mean to say you were trans ferted from the eavnlry to the infantry?” “No, sir, I was not. I deserted and then re-enlisted. I got fottud out, was tried by court-martial ami have got the ‘D’ ou me now. Nothing will blot out that letter, as I’ll show yer.” The man pulled up ids blouse, nnd sure enough, thore was the tell-tale “D” just under the left breast. The man’s chest was tattooed with a sea scene nnd a ship in full sail, hut fhe letter was plain enough. He got the price of two drinks aud wandered away to the Bow ery. Sixteen years ago branding was abol ished in the British army.—Fuo York Tribune. The New American Wiirk Horse. The demi sang, or half-bloods, are commonly known throughout tbe United States its toacii horses. Every year the importation of these beautiful animals is increasing. El wood, oue of the priuci- pnl importers of this sloes, has this year alone brought over •1*150,000 worth of them. At present there is a eorner among the dealers, of whom there arc at present but live. The central market for this breed of horses is at Caen, iu Nor- muudy. The American working horse, prior to this importation of Fereherons, was known by horsemen as a nondescript. He used to weigh about 1200 |K>unds. Nowadays a good working horse will weigh from ISOO to 2500, aud some even more. In the immediate neighborhood of Giceu Bay I am breeding about 800 marcs a year for my neighbors. These mates generally weigh on an average about 1200 pounds. We cross them with stallions that weigh from 1800 to 2500 pottuds, and even more. The result is that the half-breeds weigh from 1500 to 1800 pounds. Such are the horses that are uow so commonly seen in New York and other large cities, attached to beer wagons, trucks and the wagons of the leading express companies. They are generally gray or black. They are bred ou the Western prairie farms, nnd vary in price from 1*200 to 1200, nnd are sold in the large cities at from 1400 to 1000 aud mote apiece.—Fas York Post. A New Puzzle.

Seamless Steel Boats. Mr. Hcslop id Leeds, England, hat devised a method of forming steel boats without a scant hy oue operation. The metal plate used is one-sixteonth inch thick, and of oval shape. It is heated iu a furnace ami then molded in a die to tho required form by hydraulic pres sure. Three dies are employed to gain the form by degrees, and thus preservi the metal from crac king or buckling, Tbe boat is then polished, and fitted up with air-tight compartments and othoi uecwsark'u, WHAT CUBES t Editorial Difference of Opinion on nn Im portant Subject.

At St. Augustine, Fia., a strange fish was caught, it measured two ami a half feet in length, was of the exact color of silver, aud had fangs like those of a rat tlesnake. It moved swifter than ordinary fish. The Methodist ladies of Salina, Kan., pledges themselves to raise 11 each for church purposes. Among them was s woman seventy-five years old, who earned her dollar by making eight baby dresses by hand. A silver-plated shovel was used to re move the first earth that marks the be ginning of work on the Niagara River tunnel, which is to be constructed for the purpose of utilizing the power of Niag ara Falls. A baby hippopotamus was born on a recent morning to “Miss Murphy,” the big hippopotamus in Central Park, New York city. It weighed seventy-five pounds. It is the tenth born iu captivity. It is hearty. A blind old soldier, asking for alms at a Manchester (England) church door, had a board huug around his neck in- scribedas follows: “Engagements, eight; wounds, ten; children, six; total, twenty-four.” A Pennsylvania spiritualist, consulting a medium as to the condition of his de ceased wife, was informed that she was unitappy because she was not dressed as well as the other angels. He shelled out large sums of mouey to replenish the celestial wardrobe, but now, convinced of his folly, sues the medium for the re turn of the money. Scollnp Shucking Houses. When a fishing sloop’s hold is filled with scollops the Captain at once sets sail for tho “shucking” house, either in New Suffolk, Mattituck, Sag Harbor, Southold, Pcconic, Grcenport or some other bay side town on Long Island. “Shucking” is the vernacular for taking the shells off the fish. A shucking house is a rough board building, heated by a log fire. Along one side extends a shelf on which the unopened scollops are piled. The shuckers are young men and women, and the work affords ample opportunities for flirtation, as each young man can work at the elbow of his sweet heart. Facing the shelf filled with | scollops, each “shucker,” armed with a stout bladed knife, dexterously opens the scollops, propping the edible tidbits in a pan and brushing the shells into traps at their sides. The shuckers work with amazing rapidity. One turn of the wrist com pletes the operation. There are from seventeen to twenty-one hundred scol lops iu a gallon, and an expert “shucker” will score a gallon iu | an hour ami a half. They arc paid sixteen cents a gallon for open ing the scollops, which are at once i packed in stone jars or new tubs aud shipped to market by train. Scollops are a big source of income to the people of many Long Island towns that before | the discovery of the shellfish in Pcconic Bay idled tlirough the winter months.— f Feto York Herald.
