Subject: "Surpassing Splendor."
Text: "Eye hath not seen nor ear heard."
?I Corinthians ii.. 9.
"I am coiner to heaven! I am joiner to
heaven! Heaven! Heaven! Heaven!" These
rvrere the last 'words uttered a few days ago
by my precious wife as she ascended to be
With God forever, and is it not natural as
well as Christianly appropriate that our
thoughts be much directed toward the glorious
residence of which St. Paul speaks in
the text I have chosen?
/tU?f rvf r\-winth Vin<a hppn prIIa^ tho
Taris of antiquity. Indeed for splendor the
world holds no.such wonder to-day. It stood
on an isthmus washed by two seas, the one
sea brinsrin? the commerce of Europe, the
other the commerce of Asia. From her
wharves, in the construction of which whole
kingdoms had been absorbed, war galleys
with three banks of oars pushed out and
confounded the navy yards of all the world.
Huge handed machinery, such as modern
invention cannot equal, lifted ships from the
Bea on one side ami transported them on
trucks across the isthmus and set them down
In the sea on the other side. The revenue
officers of the city went down through the
olive groves that lined the beach to collect a
tariff from all Nations.
The mirth of all people sported in her
Isthmian srames, and the beauty of all lands
sat in her theatres, walked h<?r porticoes and
threw itself on the altar of her stupendous
dissipations. Column and statue and temple
bewildered the beholder. There were white
marblo fountains into which, from apertures
at the side, there rushed waters everywhere
Vioniffo cHtHnff finalities. Around
these basins, twisted into wreaths of stone,
there were all the beauties of sculpture and
architecture, white standing, as if to guard
the costly display, was a 9tatue of Hercules
of burnished Corinthian brass. Vases of
terra cotta adorned the cemeteries of the
dead?vases so costly that Julius Cresar was
not satisfied until he had captured them for
Borne. Armed officials, the "Corinthiarii,"
paced up and down to see that no statue was
defaced, no pedestal overthrown, no bas relief
touched. From the edge of the city a
hill arose, with its magnificent burden of
columns and towers and temples (1000 slaves
awaiting at one shrine), and a citadel so
thoroushly impregnable that Gibraltar is a
heap of sand compared with it. Amid all
that strength and macrniflcence Corinth
stood and defied the world.
? V- ?AMA.
Ob, it wa? not to rustics won u&u uc
eeen anything grand that St. Paul uttered
this text. They had heard the best music
that had come from the best instruments in
all the world. They had heard songs floating
from morning porticoes and melting in
I evening proves. They had passed their
Vhole lives away among pictures and
sculpture and architecture and Corinthian
brass, which had been molded and shaped,
Until there was no chariot wheel in which it
had not sped, and no tower in which it had
not glittered, and no gateway that it had not
adorned.
Ah, it was a bold thing for Paul to stand
there amid all that and say: "All this is
nothing. These sounds that come from the
temple of Neptune are not music compared
with the harmony of which I speak. These
waters rushing in the basin of Pyreneare not
pure. These statues of Bacchus and Mercury
are not exquisite. Yon citadel of
Acrocorintbus is not strong compared with
that which I offer to the poorest slave that
?uts down his burden at that brazen gate,
ou, Corinthians, think this is a splendid
city. You think you have heard all sweet
Bounds and seen all beautiful sights, but I
tell you "eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into tne neart oi man
< the things which God hath prepared forthem
L that love Him.'"
e You see my text sets forth the idea that,
K however exalted our ideas maybe of heaven,
they come far short of the reality. Some
wise men have been calculating how many
furloncs Ions and wide is heaven, and they
have calculated how many inhabitants there
are on the earth: how long the earth will
probably stand, and then they come to this
estimate?that after all the nations had been
gathered to heaven there will be a room for
each soul, a room 16 feet long and 15 feet
wide. It would not be large enough for me.
I am srlad to know that no human es.imate
Is sufficient to take the dimensions. '-Eye
halh not seen, nor ear heard" nor arithmetic
calculated.
I first remark that we can in this world get
no idea of the health of heaven. When you
were a child and you went out in the morning,
how you bounded along the road or
street?you had never felt sorrow or sickness!
Perhaps later?perhaps in thene very
?w/in fAlf n. plow ill vour
cheek, and a spring in your step, and an exuberance
of spirits, and a clearness of eye,
that made you thank God you were permitted
to live. The nerves were harp strings,
and the sunlight was a doxology, and the
rustling leaves were the rustling of the robes
of a great crowd rising up to praise the
v Lord. You thought that you knew what it
was to be well, butthere is no perfect health
on earth. The diseases of Dast generations
' come down to us. The aire that float now
on the earth are unlike those which floated
above paradise. They are charged with impurities
and distempers. The most elastic
and robust health of earth, compared with
that which those experience before whom the
Kates have been opened, Is nothing but sickness
and emaciation. Look at that soul
etanding before the throne. On earth she
was a lifelong invalid. See her step now and
hear her voice now! Catch, if you can. one
breath of that celestial air. Health in all the
pulses! Health of vision. Health of spirits.
Immortal health. No racking cough, no
sharp pleurisies, no consuming fevers, no
exhausting pains, no hospitals of wounded
? * *1 J- TT,.?UU
I men. Health swinging in looair. ucnuu
flowing in all the streams. Health blooming
on the banks. No headaches, no sideaches,
no backaches. That ohild that died in the
agonies of croup, hear her voice now ringing
| * In the anthem! That old man that went
I- bowed down with the infirmities of age, see
him walk now with the step of an immortal
athlete?forever young aga'n! That night
when the needlewoman fairued away in the
garret, a wave of the heavenly air resuscitated
her forever. For everlasting vears, to
have neither ache nor pain nor weakness nor
fatigue. "Eye hath not seen it, ear hath not
heard it."
I remark further that we can in this world
Iget no just idea of the splendor of heaven.
8t. John tries to describe it. He says, "The
twelve gates are tivelve pearls," and that
4'tha foundations of the walls are garnished
with all manner of precious stones." As we
stand looking through ihe telescope of St.
John we see a blaze of amethyst anl pearl
and emerald and sardonyx and chrysoprasus
and sapphire, a mountain of light, a cataract
of color, a sea of glass and a city like the
sun.
St. John bids us look again, and we see
thrones-thrones of the prophets, thrones of
the patriarchs, thrones of the angels, thronps
of the apostles, thrones of the martyrs, throne
of Jesus, throne of God! And we turn round
to see the glory, and it is?thrones! Thrones!
Thrones!
r oc. jona dhjus us iuuk. ana we see
[ the great procession of the redeemed passing.
; Jesus, on a white horse, leads the march,
i and all the armies of salvation following on
i white horses. Infinite cavalcade passing,
passing; empires pressing into line, ages
following ages. Dispensation tramping on
after dispensation. Glory in the track of
glory. Europe. Asia, Africa and North and
South America pressing iuto lines. Islands
of the sea shoulder to shoulder. Generations
before the ilood following generations
after the flood, and as Jesus risesat the heal
of that great host and waves His sword in
signal of victory all crowns are lifted, au 1
all ensigns flung out. and all chimes rung,
1? and all halleluiahs chanted, and some cry,
' Glory to God most high!" and some,
' flosanna to tlio Son of David!" and some,
*'Worthy Is the Lamb that was slain!" till all
the exclamations of endearment and homage
in the vocabulary of heaven are exhausted.
and there come up surge alter surge oi
"Amen! Amen! Amca'1'
"Eye huth not seen it, ear hath nrtf heard
it." Skim fro:n the summer waters the
brightest sparkles, and you will get no idea
of the sheen of the everlasting sea. Pile up
the splendors of earthly cities, and they
^ would not make a stepping stone by which
you might mount to the city of God. Every
house is a palace. Every step a triumph.
Every covering of the head a coronation.
Every meal is a banquet. Every stroke
from the tower is a wedding bell. Every
day is a jubilee, every hour a rapture aud
every moment an ecstasy. "Eye hath not
seen It, oar hath not heard it."
I remark further we can get no idea on
earth of tbn reunions of heaven. If you
I hav? ever been across the sea and met a
friend, or even an acquaintance, in soma
strange clly, you remember how your blood \
thrilled and how glad you were to see him.
What, then, will be our joy, after we have
passed the seas of death, to meet in the
bright city of the sun those from whom we t
have long been separated! After we have ,
been away from our friends ten or fifteen
years, and we come upon them, we see how 1
differently they look. The hair has turned, t
and wrinkles have come in their faces, and c
we say, "How you have changed!" But, oh,
when we stand"before the throne, all cares I
gone from the face, all marks of sorrow dis- I
appeared, and feeling the joy of that blessed ]
land, methinks we will say to each other, t
with an exultation wo cannot now im- (
acine. "How you hnvo changed!" In c
this world we only meet to part. It is (
goodby, troodby. Farewells floating in the i
air. We hear it at the rail car window and t
at the steamboat wharf. Goodby! Children
lisp it; and old aso answers it. Sometimes J
we say it in a light way, "Goodby!" and l
sometimes with ancuish in which the soul ;
breaks down. Goodby! Ah, that is the word j
that ends the thanksgiving banquet; that is (
the word that comes in to close the Christmas
chant. Goodby! Goodby! i
But not so in heaven. Wolcomes in the

house of many mansions?but no goodby. i
That group is constantly being augmented. ]
They are going up from our circles of earth
to join it?little voices to join the anthem, <
little hands to take hold of it in the great i
home circle,little feet to dance in the eternal i
glee, little crowns to be cast down before the I
feet of Jesus. Our friends are in two groups I
?a group this side of the river and a group i
on the other side of the river. Now there i
coes ono from this to that, and another from ]
this to that, and soon we will all be gone j
over. How many of your loved ones have i
already entered upon that blessed place! If i
I should take paper and pencil, do you think i
I could put them all down? Ah, my friends,
the waves of Jordan roar so hoarsely we cannot
hear the joy on the other side where
their group is augmented. It is graves here
and coffins and hearses here.
A little child's mother had died, and they
comforted her. They said: "Your mother
has gone to heaven. Don't cry," and the
next day they went to the graveyard, and
they laid tho body of the mother down into j
ground, and the iittle girl came up to the
verge of the grave, and looking down at the
body of her mother said, "Is this heaven?"
Oh, we have no idea what heaven is. It is
the grave here. It is darkness here, but there (
is merry leaking yonder. Methinks when a j
soul arrives some angel takes it around to
show it the wonders of that blessed Dlace. j
The usher angel says to the newly arrived:
"These are the martyrs that periahed at 1
Piedmont; these were torn to pieces at the 1
inquisition; this is the throne of the great
Jehovah; this is Jesus!" "I am going to see 1
Jesus," said a dying negro boy. "I am go- 1
ing to see Jesus," and the missionary said, i
i i.v? ? nimr1 <?nh
JLUU aio ouio juu mil isw
yes. That's what I want to go to heaven <
for." "But," said the mlsssonary, "suppose
that Jesus should go away from heaven, 1
what then?" "I should follow him." said I
the dytnpr negro boy. "But if Jesus went 1
down to hell, what then?" The dying boy
thought for a moment, and then he said, t
"Mnssa, where Jesu9 is there can be no hell!" 1
Oh, to stand in His presence! That will
be heaven! Oh, to put our hand in that
hand which was wounded for us on the cross
?to go around amid all the groups of the ]
redeemed and shake hands with prophets
and apostles and martyrs and with our own
dear, beloved ones! That will be the great
reunion. We cannot imagine it now, our ]
loved ones seem so far away. When we are 1
in trouble and lonesome, they don't seem to
come to us. We go on the banks of the Jor- 1
dan and call across to them, but they 1
don't seem to hear. We say: "Is it well t
with the child? Is it well with the loved J

voice comes back over the water. None!
None! Unbelief says, "They are dead and
extinct forever," but, blessed be God, we
have a Bible that tells us different. We open
it and And that they are neither dead nor
extinct; that they never were so much alive
as now; that they are only waiting for our
coming, and that we shall join them on the
other side of the river. Oh, glorious reunion,
we cannot grasp it now! "Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered
into the heart of man the things which God
hath prepared for them that love Him."
I remark again, we can in this world get
no idea of the song of heaven. You know
there i3 nothing more inspiriting than music.
In the battle of Waterloo the Highlanders
were giving way. and Wellington found out
that the bands of music had ceased playing.
He sent a quick dispatch, telling them to
play with utmost spirit a battle march.
The music started, the Highlanders were (
rallied, and they dashed on till the day was
won. We appreciate the power of secular
music, but ao we appreciate the power of
sacred song? There is nothing more inspire r
ing to me than a whole congregation lifted
up on the wave of holy melody. When we 1
sing some of those dear old psalms and ?
tunes they rouse all the memories of the {
past. Why, some of them were cradle songs {
1n our father's house. They are all spark- j
linsr with the morning dew of a thousand 4
Christian Sabbaths. 5
They were sung by brothers and sisters
gone now, by voices that were aged and ,
broken in the music, voices none the less j
sweet because they did tremble and break. ]
When I hear these old songs sung it seems as s
if all the old countrv meeting homes joined J
in the chorus, and Scotch kirk and sailor's ] (
Bethel and Western cabins, until the whole ?
continent lifts the doxologv and the scepters 1 .
of eternity beat time to the music. Away j ?
then with your starveling tunes that chill j
the devotion of the sanctuary and make the j ?
people sit silent when Jesos is coming to
hosanna.
But. my friends, If music on earth is so
sweet, what will it bo in heaven? They all
know the tune there. Methinks the tuue of ]
heaven will be made up partly from the
songs of earth, the best parts of all our
hymns and tunes going to add to the song of
Moses and the Lamb. All the best singers of t
all the ages will join it?choirs of white ,(
robed children. Choirs of patriarchs! Choirs
- * * -A -1 I (
oi apostles: morning siiir* ciuppiug meir
cymbals! Harpers with their harps! Great
anthems of God roll on, roll! on! Other empires
joining the harmony till the thrones
are full of it and the Nations all Baved.
Anthem shall toucn anthem, chorus join
chorus, and all the sweet sounds of earth
and heaven be poured into the ear of Christ.
David of the harp will be there. Gabriel of
the trumpet will be there. Germany redeemed
will pour its deep bass voice into the
song, and Africa will add to the music with
her matchless voices.
I wish we could anticipate that song. I
wish in the closing hymns of the churches
to-day we might catch an echo that slips
from the gates. Who knows but that when
the heavenly door opens to-day to let some
soul through there may come forth the
strain of the jubilant voices until we catch
it? OH, that as the sons: drops down from
heaven it might meet half way a sdng coming
up from earth!
IS DEFENDER DOOMED?
Navy Department Exprrts Say Tha*
Aluminum Cannot Last Long.
The Bureau of Construction and Repairs
of the Uuitod States Navy Department hava !
for the past two years been conducting a line i
of experiments which may prove interesting,
but not assuring, to the builders and backers
<if DufonrlHr
The bureau has been testing aluminum for
use in naval vessels, particularly where the 1
metal would be affected by salt water aud f
3alt air. They regret to flud thai salt rots it i
aud destroys its usefulness. At best it has i
proved wealc and unreliable, incapable of i
standing severe straius and extremely shortj
lived. Naval constructors fear that, unless
many changes are made in those portions of
Defender and her rigging now built of aluminum
before the cup races, some serious ac- '
cideut due to the treacherous metal may lose <
| the cup. <
The experiments have shown that the life
of aluminum subjected to the action of salt 1
air and salt water is certainly not more than
one year From this it Is deduced that, if by
luck and great cart) Defender gets through
the cup races unscathed, a year from now she
would be apt to fall apart. A slight collision
would wrench her badly.
These deductions are general In their
character as applied to Defender, as the Navy
Department officials do not desire to go Into
details regarding their investigation of the
properties of aluminum. The results of that
invesiigation as embodied in official reports
are held in the confidential archives of tne
Department.
Tuberculosis In Cattle Not Hereditary.
The State Veterinary Department of Iowa
has conducted an exhaustive series of experiments
to determine whether tuberculosis
in cattle is hereditary. They conclude that
it is not. [
WOULD LOWER THE LAKES.
'That the Board of Engineers Say of the
Chicago Drainage Canal.
Tho report of tho Board of Engineers do";l"'
?"? iinAn fVin nrnhflhlfl pffSCt Slid
(peratioa of tho Chicago drainage canal
lpon the lake and harbor levels and upon
he navigation of the great lakes and tlieir
ionnecting waterways was made public.
There is nothing to show, the report says,
that the consent of Congress has been askod
For this enterprise, and it is certain that it
has not been treated as an inter-State or international
affair. With this established
'act it is impossible to think that supervision
>f the United States will not extend to the
ianal in due time. This will become necestary
as 9oon as it becomes.a part of the sys:em
of navigation waterways.
If the now outlet reduces the levels of
Lakes Michigan and Huron about six inches,
:hat effect will be produced in about two
rears, it not being a question of many years,
is some suppose. The Board feel very sure,
iherefore. that:
First?The drainage canal is not solely a
State affair, but a National one.
Second?The tapping of the lakes must
iffect their levels. If the level of the lakes
>hould be reduced, vessels would have to
,oad accordingly.
The trustees of the drainage company now
Bontemplate the abstraction of only 300,000
:ubic feet,but after the canal is opened it is assumed
that 600,000 cubic feet per minute will
t>e drawn from Lake Michigan. This would
lower the levels of all the lakes of the system,
axcept Lake Superior. The navigable capailty
of all harbors and channels on the great
lakes below St. Mary's Falls would be injuriously
affected by the proposed canal, and
the navigability of the inner harbor of Chi- ?
jago would be diminished also by the introduction
of a current therein.
CRUSHED UNDER A PRESS FRAME.
Heroic KflTorta of Prea* RiggrerR to Sav?
the Life of Their Foreman.
Foreman David P. Williams and two press
riggers of the Cottrell Printing Manufacturing
Company were at work removing an old
press from the Knickerbocker Press Company's
building. New Rochelle, N. Y. A large
iron frame that they were taking from the
Blevator tipped over on Williams. The men
and 'Williams used their united strength in
holding the frame up, but they soon became
exhausted, and the frame gradually pinioned
Williams to the floor. The men shouted for
help. There was no response, as everybody
had left the establishment.
Williams and the men were worn out by
their exertions. Seeing that there was no
help for him, Williams called to his companions:
"God help me! Let it drop and put mo
out of my agonv!"
The two men were in a fainting condition
from supporting the frame. They withdrew
;heir hands and the mass of iron fell upon
tVilliams, crushing him to death.
Williams was fifty years of age, and lived
it Spuyten Duyvil. He leaves a widow and
ihree children.

How Act# of Heroiflm Will Hereafter Be
Rewarded.
Hereafter tho Government will recognize
lets of heroism on the high seas in behalf of
litizens of the United States by the award
>f handsome silver vases instead of sold
patches, compasses, etc., as has been the
sustom in the past. It has frequently happened
that these watches, fine though they
ire, have been bestowed upon mariners
possessing chronometers of a much superior
juality. The same is true of other navigatng
apparatus which it has been customary
:o give in acknowledgment of yaluable
leroio service to American seamen. The
Jtate Department officials who have charge
)f this matter have decided to substitute
rases for other articles as an experiment,
md, if it proves successful, that style of
iward will be adopted as the standard. The
lesign most favored is a tall v<ise, embossed
it the base in imitation of dashing waves,
tvith an American eagle surmounting a
shield inscribed with the American coat-ofirms.

RELIGIOUS READING. I S.
God's work. inti
When God strengthens the soul or intensifies
its life. He does ft higher, more tremendous
work than if He merely wrought some
change in the outward things to accomodate I7essi
thom to our weakness. Take the extremest J
case?say such a case as that of old Bishop
Hooper, wbo, in Queen Mary's time in 1555,
was burned at Gloucester for his Protestantism.
All the time ho was burning at the
stake there was a box before him with his
pardon in it il'he would recant. Now, when # l.J
he cried out to. God for help, what ins."
would have been the nob'cst answer? wu f
Had the Lord put cut the fire by Moa?
providential interposition, every one would throu
6ay that was a good, real answer. Or it the throu
Lord had suspended the law by which flre ("Heb.
burns, and made it that it had climbed and A'oral
wreathed about him without scorching him, ?Son,f
that, too, would be reckoned a good, real tlw c
answer. But I tell you that when that old ofth#
man. by his praying, was strengthened so 18)
that through the long three-quarters of an His 3
hour that his torture lasted he never flinched, 3'ime
never stretched out his hand to tho box with w>rd
the pardon in it: and that when the shriveled 13:1.
life at last ebbed outof him,it went not out in 2. '
mad shreiks of incoherent asony, but in Appo
broken gasps of faith and trust?I tell you I spa!
that there was a mora tremendous mani- cjmrr
festatlon of the power of prayer than there are fc
Vini'O l>oan in oni? Aiitwof/1 llftln flfTllinQt till 1 I
the flames. That is just how the answer to refer*
Paul's prayer came in. Not the "thorn in the
flesh" removed, but his heart strengthened, d^Alii
Paul came to feel at last that that answer to the fr
his prayer was the noblest answer. He came n?*rs <
to glory in it at last, even as he gloried in his of sn
revelations and exalted spiritual experiences. 3. '
Instead of his faith in prayer being weak- ^on
ened, it was strengthened! And so it has thith*
been all life through. The strongest believers the a
in prayer have not been those to whom it has here 1
seemed to bring a loaf in their want, or de- used
liverance in some danger. No ! The a ro<
strongest believers in prayer have been those
who. though they have asked a score of out- ''This

MUSIC TU OUR LIVES. 4. '
A visitor to Amsterdam wished to hear the
wonderful music of the chimes of St. Nicholas,
and went up into the tower of the church tnem
to hear it. There he found a man with trans
wooden gloves on his hands, pounding on a J?i^
keyboard. All he could hear wa3 the clang- '
ing of the keys when struck by the wooden
gloves, and the harsh, deafening noise of the lyif
bells close over his head. He wondered why
the people talked of the marvelous chimes of
St. Nicholas. To his ear there was no musio ar>l(
in them, nothing but terrible clatter and
clanging. Yet, all tne wnue, mere uoateu . --out
over and beyond the city the moat en- siaye
trancinc music. Men in the fields paused
in their work to listen, and were made . *
glad. People' in their homes and travelers
on the highway, were thrilled
by the marvelous bell-note9 that fell from the
tower. There are many lives which to those
who dwell close beside them sejm to make j?r~*
no music. They pour out their strength in '
hard toil. They are shut up in narrow
spheres. They dwell amid the noise and r '
clatter of common task-work. They think 1
themselves that they are not of any use, that
no blessing goes out from their life. They .
never dream that sweet music is made anywUere
in the world by their noisy hammering. J.
But out over the world, where the influence .
goes from their work and character, human 5
lives are blessed, and weary ones hear, with ?
, gladness, sweet, comforting music. Then . *
away off in heaven, where angels listen to ,
earth's melody, ent-ancing strains are heard. .

Now is the time when the hateful th

Df circumventing this pest is to keep be
a few salting troughs in the pasture we
made in the shape of a V and smear- pr,
ing both sides inside with tar. The <iii
sheep licking the salt take up some of ty
the tar on their noses, and this deters
the fly from, laying eggs on the sheep

As lime is largely contained in the
ash of all kinds of crops, it follows
that when there ia a deficiency of it in
the soil an application of it mnst be
nsefal. Bat it has another effect on
the soil besides contributing plant 80
food. It dissolves the soil to. a large ^
extent and in this way adds to the j1?
fertility of the land by increasing the ^
available supply of other elements of
plants, as potash, phosphorio acid,
magnesia and so on; and what is of 1
greater u^e yet, it causes the quick Wl
decomposition of any vegetable matter, 01
such as the roots of former crops, or j"
mannre that may be in the soil as yet *
undecomposed. Thus the old praotice ,a
of applying lime to the land once in
five or six years is good now, as it was w
then, and it always will be a good
practice. It is mostly used at the j1'
present season when the land is pre- '
pared for wheat; twenty or thirty &
bnshels to the acre, air slacked, is the
usual quantity.?New York Times.
WATERING HONEY BEES. 8.

hints as to the desires and needs of
the little honey gatherers, we doubt aT
if one bee keeper in fifty ever thinks QI
of providing a convenient drinking ^
vessel for these useful insects. We are '
remindec^of this omission, which is ^
far too general, by a correspondent of
the American Bee Journal, who describes
a watering trough that he
uses for his bees. He selects any
small box tight enough to hold water,
and then makes a float of a thin piece g*
of board bored full of holes with a
gimlet. If the float becomes heavy be
through being soaked, small strips or
pieces of cork are tacked on the under or
side as Ithey are required. The bees
are at first attracted to this watering
trough with a little sweetened water,
after which the pure article is substituted.
These receptacles should be
refilled at least twice a day duriDg
very hot weather, and when the bees P*
find that they can always get pure
water at one place they will not trou- te
ble the troughs where the cattle and la
horses go for drink.?New York Sun. sw

The soil will settle in places,
id after the dirt ouce works between
,e stones an uneven, spotted lawn
ill be the result. These hollows may

ore, and in other plaoes, after eaoh
javy storm. A stone-drained lawn
tnsequently keeps one busy fixing it
p. It is much better to go to the
:tra expense at first and tile drain
ie land.
Grading should be done so that all |
' the water will be conducted away
om the house. If the natural ungating
surface of the lawn is to be
itained, the grading will be znuob
irder, for the slope of the land will
nd to collect the water in the hoiws.
During heavy storms this will
}t flow away, even through the most
srfectly underdrained soil. Tha
:ade must be arranged so that the
ater will follow the hollows, and col*
ot in tile drains arranged for it la

We do not, as a rule, fertilize our
