Setting Out Plnntii.
An important point in setting out
lauts is to firm the soil well about tbe
ilant after setting it in tbe ground,
'bis can be best done with tne feet,
ramping tbe soil gently immediately
bout tbe base and against tbe stalk of
he plant. This serves to keep tbe
ilant in position, so that it will not be
shipped about by the wind, and preents
the air from getting at the roots.
U tbe plants are knocked out of tne
tots dip the ball of soil surrounding
be roots in water, and pour a little
nto tbe hole into which the plant is
o be set. Fill the soil in about the
>lant, and compress it as suggested
,bove, and if no water is applied for a
eeek the plant will not suffer. By
he former method only the surface of
he soli is wet, and the roots of the
>lant remain dry.

HOW TO TREAT A MAN.
XoleH by h Horsr, Traunlntcil by
Harry
When a man drops from sheer ex!
haustion or illness, promptly seize an
! end board or a cart stake and pound
him on Hie neaa ana on me hub. ji
this does not recuperate him, kick
him violently in the belly. This
treatment will restore him, if per1
sisteutly administered.
If a man finds his load too heavy
and feels that it will seriously strain
him to proceed, kick off a fence board
and knock him down?and hammei
him thoroughly with the board
This will give renewed energy, and
he will make no more fu83. But dr
in-vf- nn on? aduniint rediicp liia lnnfl
'That would look too much like common
sense, or humanity, and he will
he likely to balk again when overloaded.
If a man refuses to drink when yoi
offer him water, don't give him any
water for two days. That will "teach
him" to be thirsty at any time you
find it convenient to attend to him.
It is a good plan to apply the whip
frequently ou a mam who is at work,
No matter if be is doing his best, hil
him now and then on "general principles"
and to prevent him taking
auy comfort. If bis load is not heavy,
oblige him to go enough faster tc
make up for it. Work him hard
enough to bring down the averagt
life of man one half, as is done with
horses. If no whip is handy, use a
club.
Tie your man's head back in an
unnatural position, with his eyes up
towards the sun. This will give him
a "fine appearance aud prevent stumbling."
Of course he will not be ablt
to do as much, word in this fix, bul
it makes him wretched, so it is all
right.
In winter remove his clothing tc
"prevent him taking cold." He will
also dry quicker, when you overwork
him. You must hang a blanket on
his back?but leave his neck and
limbs exposed?when he is not at
work. Men thus treated are "much
healthier" than when allowed wintei
clothing.
If not perfectly convenient to feed
a man, who is working for you, at
nnrtn lAf. him on without. and. bv
active use of tbe whip, secure as much
work as the food would have secured,
Of course it wears out his vitality
aud 'distresses him but that is no
matter.
Put tight shoes on your man and
keep them there until he is very lame
with corns. To change his shoes often
costs money, not much, but some, and
lameness and misery are of no account
if you can save a dollar's worth ol
shoes in a year.
When you hire a man do not be
hampered by any humane notions.
Get all you can out of him. True
nobility consists in getting money,
not decency, or kindness, or what
ji? ? ii
Burnt) uuuuiks lcilu cuaiauici. uci
money all blood stained. These are
correct principles, I am sure, for I
learned them when a colt from my
master who treated all his horses on
this plan? and don't he know what's
what?
Hist With His Own Petard.
It was at a Republican church, a
good many years ago, at a Saturday
meeting, a motion was offered by a
brother who was himself rarely ever
on time for preaching, that 11 a. m. be
the hour for service on Saturday, and
that our pastor be requested to begin
i-ervice at that hour, regardless of the
number of persons present. This motion
was unanimously adopted. I bad
shortly before taken charge of the
churcb, and as the people were very
slow iiHuallv about ftominc to meetimr.
I rejoiced at the adoption of the resolution.
At the next time of meeting,
I was at the church fifteen minutes before
eleven o'clock ; but no one else
had come. Five minutes" before
eleven, I saw old Bro. Corley, the
sexton, coming. He opened the doors
aud windows. At eleven promptly,
he and I began service. I gave out a
hymn ; but neither of us could sing;
so 1 proceeded to read the Scriptures,
then had prayer and the reading of
another hymn, but no singing. I
took my text?one upon which I had
been hard at work during the week?
"To you who believe he is precious."
I preached to Bro. Corley as earnestly
as possible, aud he listened closely.
When I was about half through my
sermon, two other brethren came in
and took seats almost halfway back to
the rear end of the church. I finished,
and pronounced the benediction,
and went out of the house; but did
not leave immediately. After awhile,
others began to come in, and then the
author of the motion appeared, and at
length a goodly number had arrived.
Still we lingered around the door.
Presently the brethren began to look
at and snap their watches. Some one
asked if it was not time to begin service.
The answer was made thai
servicd for the day was over, and then
they remembered the resolution of the
last conference. They insisted that ]
preach again: but I told them ]
would not preach again until nexl
day. At the next meeting, when I
arrived at the church, fifteen minutes
before time, a large crowd awaited me,

Why Cbrldt In ChIIhI the Lamb.
The institution of the Passover and
other sacrifices among the Jews will
answer the question. "Christ our
Passover is sacrificed for us." (1 Cor.
i v. 7.)
A lamb is an innocent animal;
C Christ is immaculate in character.'
The paschal lamb was free from spot
J and blemish ; Christ from siD.
The lamb is defenseless; Christ
made no resistance to his enemies.
fPU a fnrvtk ici slurwVt ohaoi*.
p x lie iauju 10 uuuju uciuic uui oucui,
res; Cbri*t opened not his mouth to
[ save his life.
The lamb sbed its blood in the eacrifice
; Cbrist shed bis on the cross,
i The lamb's blood was sprinkled on
> the doorposts; Christ's must be applied
to the heart, hence called "the
! blood of sprinkling." (Heb. xii. 24.)
[ The lamb's blood saved every family
. where it was sprinkled from the destroying
angel; Chirst'u blood saves
i from sin every soul who will accept
r it.
j The offerer confessed his iniquities
i over the head of the lamb, and thus
tvpicallv transferred his sin and guilt
, to'the victim; so God laid upon hie
Son the iniquity of us all.
> The lamb was then slain ; so Christ
died for the sin of the world.
r The difference between the sacrifl|
cial lamb and Christ as the lamb of
God is that the death of the one took
I away sin ceremonially, without really
t touching and cleansing the heart,
while the death of the olber really
and absolutely cleanses from Bin all
who will accept it. Further, the animal
sacrifice was repeated daily, thus
showing that it could not take sin ;
"but this Man, after he had offered
one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down
on the right hand of God, . . for
t by one offering he hath perfected for[
ever them that are sanctified." (Heb.
x. 12.)

Treatment of Cows.
I Many owners of cows in this city
have them driven to pastare in the
[ suburbs by men and boys engaged in
. that business. It would be the part oi
wisdom for such owners to caution
[ the drivers against throwing rocks at
. the cows, chasing them with dogs, or
' otherwise exciting and frightening
them, and at some convenient time to
watch the process of driving to or
I from pasture.
, A good cow is a valuable possession,
and worthy of the best treatment. Harassing
ana terrifying a cow will great,
iy injury the yield of milk, both in
quantity and quality. A bulletin issued
from the experiment station in
connection with the Kansas Agricul:
tural college, contains the following
on this subject:
, "Kindness is an efficient aid in
increasing milk yield and costs noth)
ing. The more a milker can make
the cow love him as she loves her calf,
the more milk she will yield to him.
Investigations show that iB probably
| that a considerable portion of the milk
is secreted during the operation of
milking, especially the rich milk
which comes last. Abuse and excite1
meat reduce the secretion and not
oDly lower the quantity of milk given,
but often lower the percentage of butter
fat. Kindness and petting make
the cow contented and put her nervous
system in such a condition that the
fullest yield is given. This is not the
only cause, but It is probably a chief
cause, of the wide varilation in butter
fat sometimes shown in creamery
' tests. Hurrying cows, runniug them
with dogs, beating tbem or speaking
roughly to them will reduce the yield
of milk and per cent of butter fat. A
change of milkers will often lower the
per cent of butter fat until the cow becomes
fond of the new milker.
Contact With Uod.
Christianity reveals the possibility
of actual personal contact of man with
God; contact, not for conflict, but contact
for support. It shows us to be in
intimate relation with God. It does
not reveal him to us as one watches
over us for opportunities for wrath;
and then comes upon .us malignantly
to punish us because we have offendnH
him thlu 4a larnraltr fha (Vinfipntinn
of human religions. It is with them
not so much for wrongdoing that men
are punished as it is for having displeased
him whom they call God.
Christianity teaches us of God who is
displeased when we do wrong ; not
because the wrong hurts him, but because
it hurts us. It reveals God as
omnipotent and as one who, in his
omnipotency, comes to man and takes
his place at bis side and helps bim
over the difficult places in life. One
who, if a man fall on his journey, instead
of putting his foot upon him to
1 grind him to powder, reaches down
1 his mighty hand, and in loving tenderness
helps up the fallen one. It
reveals a God who, instead of laugh
ing at man in his sorrow, sheds with
1 him tears of sympathy. A God who
is so long-suffering and so patient,
> that when a man's father and mother
i forsake him he will take him up.
| Such a being meets a great numan
need.
\
The value of a man's faith is measi
ured, not by the number of things he
believes, but by the intensity with
which be believes them.

Fool Nnmea for Children.
(Washington Po9t.)
Of course, this is a free country and
parents have the right to inflict upon
their innocent and helpless babes almost
any ontrageous name that may
nn/mr fn Hioir msitHlln minHa Thtiu
we have the crop of Babys, Snowdrops,
Katydids, Birdies. Pinkies,
Sweethearts, etc.. etc., which makes
the judicious grieve and in after life
cause the victims to shudder and to
weep. Tbe names are silly enough
even when the girls are youner, pretty,
rosy and innocent; but imagine Birdie
with an overflowing waist, a family
of teu or twelve, down at the heel and
slightly bald! O, think of Baby,
long, lean, gray haired, acid, wearing
a distinct beard and sporting a wart at
the end of her nose.
To afflict children with names
nrki/ilt In lofnr ' xrnora rv? ?i a t n I mntra
w ujuu i jli iaiu j cava iiiuoi at n oj ^
seem foolish, and wtoich, only too often
makes them wretched and ridiculous,
is to come very near the crime.
Down South in slave times there
were inconsiderate masters who, imagining
themselves witty and face1
tious would have black children
named Zenobia, Ariadne, Solomon,
Aelisarius, Juno, Venus, Cleopatra,
Jupiter, Cynthia, Thisbe and so on.
It was a sorry just, but there was the
redeeming feature that the victims
did not feel the sarcasm and that the
"quarter" soon modified the monstrosities
into Jupe,?Belly, Sinthy,
Sol, Patty, etc., which in time underwent
futher and more civilized amendments.
But this maudlin nonsense to
1 which our correspondent refers so
i aptly constitutes a real iDjury and
should be visited with organized
rebuke and opposition. Parents have
no right, morally speaking, at least,
to bring children into the world ana
afflict them with names which will
afterwards make them wish they had
never been born.
Flirtation Brlngeth a Snare.
> Edgefield Chronicle.
Nearly every girl who is flirted
with, and especially those who so far
forget self-respect as to flirt, come out
with injured characters. They are
talked about by the young men, who
lose respect for them and who do not
care to have as wives such girls.
They are looked upon and classed as
"fast." Flirtation is silly, seuBelees,
and lowers a girl in the estimation
of mankind.
Love brought about by flirtation
seldom kills, or causes a girl of her
own choice to remain single. From
the writer's standpoint, remaining
single is often caused from the fact
that no man has confidence in a girl
who has once flirted, sufficient to induce
him to marry her, and the man
cannot be blamed for his want of
confidence and respect. That girl
may marry, but she will have to
marry where she is not known.
There is no precaution that will hide
flirting. The man flirted with in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
will tell it from nure disgust after he
finds It out and will tell all the liberties
that was allowed with additions.
