REV. DR. TALMAGE The Bn ohlyn Divine's Snnaay Sermon I Text : "All me like sheep have, pone | aslran : * * •' and the. Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us a(f. Isaiah liii.,0. Within ninety years at the longest all who hear or rea'l this sermon will l-e in eternity. During the next Ilf ty years you will nearly all be gone. The next ten years will cut a wide swath among the people. The year 1891 will to some be the ihmlity. Such con siderations make this occasion absorbing and momentous. The first half of my text is an indictment. “All we like sheep have gone astray.” Some one says: “Can you not drop the first word? That is too general; that sweeps too great a circle.” Some man rises in the audienco and he looks over on the opposite sido of the house, and he says: "There is a blasphemer, and I understand how he has gone astray. And there in an other part of the house'is a defrauder, and ho has gone astray. And there is an Impure person, and he has gone astray. ’ Sit down, my brother, and look at home. My text takes us all in. It starts behind the pulpit, sweeps the circuit of the room and comes back to the point from where It started, when it says: “All we like sheep have gone astray.” ' 1 can very easily under- stuud why Martin Luther threw up his hands after he had found the Bible and cried out, “Oh! my sins, my sins,” and why the publi can, according to the custom to this day in the East, when they have any great grief began to bent himself and cry as he smote upon his breast, “Clod be merciful to me a sinner.” 1 was, like many of you, brought up in the country, and 1 know some of the habits of sheep and how they get astfav, and what my text means when it says, “All wo like sheep have gone astray.” Sheep get astray in two ways, either by trying to get intoother pas- Due, or irora being scared by the dogs. In the tormer way some of us got astray. We thought the religion of Jesus Christ short commons. H e thought there was better pas turage somewhere else. We thought if we could only lie down on the banks of distant streams or under great oaks on the other side ot some hill we might be better fed. Wo Wanted other pasturage than that which Hod through Jesus Christ gave our soul, and we wandered on and wandered on and we were lost. He wanted bread and we found garbage. The further we wan- dered, instead of finding rich pasturage we lound blasted heath and sharpened rocks and more stinging nettles. No pasture. How was it in the worldly groups when you lost y our child? Did they come around and con- sole you very much? Did not the plain t lu'istian man who came into your house and sat up with your darling child give you more comfort than all worldly associations? lmu all the convivial songs you ever heard com tort you in that day of bereavement so much as the song they sang to you, perhaps ;£?m e ^ s0, . ,s , th 2 t xr as suu <t by 5’our little lifi ? u ' * as *' babbath afternoon of her There is a happy land, far, far awar, "dify !aiWa " nmortal rui ?n. bright, bright as Did your business associates in that day of i.arkncss and trouble give vou any especial condolence? Business exasperated vou business wore you out, business ‘left you limp ns a rag, business made > ou \ou got dollars, but you got no pence. (>od have mercy on the man who has nothing but business to comfort him. The world afforded you no luxuriant pasturage. A tamous English actor stood on the stage impersonating, and thunders of applause came down from the galleries, and many thought it was the proudest moment of his .lie; but there was a man asleep just in front or him, and the fact that that man was in- different and somnolent spoiled all the occa sion lor Inin, and heeded, “Wakeup! wake up 1 Bo one little annoyance has been more pervading to your mind than all the bril liant congratulations and successes. Poor pasturage for your soul you found in this world. The world has cheated you, the world has belied you, the world has misin- terpreted you, the world has persecuted you. It never comforted you. Oh! this world is a good rack from which a horse may pick his hay; it is a good trough from which the swine may crunch their mess: but it gives but little food to a sou! blood bought and immortal. What is a soul? It is a hope high as the throne of God. IVhat is a man? You say, “It is only a man” It is only a man gone overboard in business life. VVhat is a man? The battle-ground of three worlds, with his hands taking hold of destinies of light or darkness. A man! No line can measure him. No limit can boundhim. Tlio archangel be fore the throne cannot outlive him. Tbestars nhall die. but he w ill watch their extinguish ment. The world will burn, but he will guzc on the coutlagratioii. Endless ages will march on; he will watch the procession. A man! The masterpiece ot (Jo l Almighty. Yet you say, “It is only a man.” Can a na ture like that be fed on husks of the wilder- ness? filtbsinnU&l comfort will not grow ifii nature’s barren soil; All we can boast till Christ we know is vanity and toil.

La a few moments they are torn of lb • lie 1 and they are plashed of the ditch, tmdibc.'i sheep never gets home unless ilipfni m r goes alter it. There is nothin? so thoroughly lost as a lost sheep. It may have been in 1857, during the financial panic, or during the linancial stress in the fall of 1813. when you got astray. You almost be came an atheist. You said, “Where is God, that honest men go down and thieves pros per:'’ You were dogged of creditors, you were dogged of the banks, you were dogged of worldly disaster, and some of you went into misanthropy, and some of you took to strong drink, and others of you fled out of Christian association, and you got astray. O man! that was the last time when you ought to have forsaken God. Standing amid the foundering of your earthly fortunes, how could you get along w ithout a God to comfort you aua a God to deliver yon, and a God to help you, and a Cod to save you* You tell mo you have been through enough business trouble almost to kill you. I know it. I cannot understand how the boat eoutd live one hour in that chopped sea. But I do not know by what process you got astray; some in one way, and some in another, and if you could reallv sea the position some of you occupy before God this morning, your soul would burst into an ngony of tears and you would pelt the heav ens with theory: “God have mercy!” Sinai’s bat tcries have been unlimbered above your ton I, and at times you have hoard itthunder: “fhe wages of sin is death.” “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” “By one man sin entered into the world, and d uth by sin; and so death passed upon all tue.i, for that all have sinned.” “The soul that sinneth it shall die.” When Sebastopol was being bombarded, two Russian frigates burned all night in the harbor throwing a glare unon the trembling Jo,-tress, and some of you are standing in tne night of your soul’s trouble. The cannonade un I the conflagration, the multiplication of your sorrows and troubles 1 think must make the wings of God’s hovering angels shiver to the tip. But the last part of my text opens a door wide enough to let us nil out and to let all heaven in. Sound it on the organ with all the stops out. Thrum it on the harps with oil the strings atune. With all the melody possible let the heavens sound it to the earth and let the earth tell it to the heavens. ■“The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” I am glad that the prophet did not stop to explain whom he meant by “Him." Him of the manger. Him of the bloody sweat, Him ot the resurrection throne. Him of the crucifixion agony. “On Him tha Lord hath laid the inioultv of ns all." and 1 tell unconscious at your feet with gun shot fractures and dislocations, what would you do? You would call to your comrades saying, “Como and help, this man is help less, bring the ambulance; lot us take him to the hospital,” and I would be a dead lift In your arras, and you would lift me from the ground where I had fallen and put mein “Oh,” says some man, "that Is not gener ous, that is not fair; let every man carry his own burden and pay his own debts.” That soun Is reasonable. If I have an obligation mid I have the means to meet It, and fcome to you and ask you to settle that obligation, you rightly say. "Pay your own debts." If vou and [ walking down the street, both bale, hearty and well. I ask you to carry mo, you say, nnd say rightly, “Walk on your own feet.” But suppose you and I were in a redment and I was wounded In the (he ambulance and take me to the hospital and have all kindness shown me. Would there be anything mean In your doing that? Would there be anvtliing laimoanlng in my accepting that kindness? Oh, no. You would lie mean not to do It. That is what Christ does. If wo could pay our debts then It would be better to go up und pay them, saying, “Hero, Lord, here is my obligation; here are the means with which I mean to settle that obligation: now give me a receipt; cron It all out.” The debt is paid. But the fact la wo have fallen in battle, we hare gone down under the hot fire of our transgressions, we have been wounded by the sabers of sin, we are helpless, we are undone. Christ comes. The loud along heard In the sky on that Christmas night was only the bell, the re sounding bell, of the ambulance. Clear the rray for the Son of God. He oomee down to bind up the wounds, and to scatter the darkness, and to save the lost. Clear the way for the Son of God. Christ comes down to see ns, and we are a dead lift. He does not lift us with the tips of His fingers. He does not lift us with one arm. He comes down upon His knee, and then with a dead lift He raises us to honor and to glory and immortality. “The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us eU." Why, then, will no man carry nls sins? You cannot carry successfully the smallest sin you ever committed. You might as well put the Apennines on one shoulder and tha Alps on the other. How much less can you carry all the sins of your lifetime! Christ comes and looks down in your face and says: "I have come through all the lacerations ot tht'" days and through alt the tempests of near on nil si tes! Tha.-.i is a man in tin gal lery who would say: “ilml brilliant sur roundings, I ha 1 the bed odu atfon tbit one of the best collegiate Institutions of this country could give, and I observed all the inorailties of life, and I was self rightecy-, im 1 I thought I was all right before God as I am all right before men; but the Holy Bpirit came to me one day and said, * .’ouare a sinner;’ the Holy Spirit persuaded me of the fact. While I had escaped the sins against the law of the laud I had really com mitted the worst sin a man ever commits— the driving back of the Son of God from my heart’s affections. And I saw that my hands were red with the bloo 1 of the Son of God, nnd I began to pray, and peace came to my heart, and I know by experience that what jou say this morning is true, ‘On Him the Lord hath laid the iniquity of us all.’ ’’ Yonder is a man wno would say: “I was the worst drunkard in New York; I went Irom bad to worse; I destroyed myself, I destroyed my home; my children cowered when I entered the house; when they put up their lips to be kissed I struck them; when my wife protested against the maltreatment, I kicked her into the street. I know all the bruises and all the terrors of a drunkard’s woe. I went on further and further from God until ’die day 1 got a letter saying: “My Dear Husband—I have tried every way, done everything, and prayed earnestly and fervently for your reformation, but it seems of no avail. Since our little Henry died, with the exception of those few happy weeks when you remained sober, my life has been one of sorrow. Many of the nights I have sat by the window, with my face bathed in tears, watching for your coming. I am broken hearted, I am sick. Mother and father have been here frequently and begged me to come home, but my love for you and my hope for brighter days have always made me refuse them. That bone seems now be yond realization, and I nave returned to them. It is hard, and I battled long before doing it. May God bless and preserve you, and take from you that accursed appetite nil* I hasten the day when we shall be again living happily together. This will be my daily prayer, knowing that He has said, ‘Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’ From your loving wife, Mart. “ tad so I wandered on and wandered on,' says that man, “until one night I pn-sed a Methodist meeting house, and I said to myself, ‘I’ll go in and sea what they are doing,’ and I got to the door, and they were singing: All may come, wnoever will, This man receives poor tinners Mill. " And I dropped right there where I was nnd I said, * God have mercy,’ and He had mercy on me. My home is restored, my wif'i sings all day long during work, my children come out a long way to greet me home, nnd my household is a little heaven. I will fell you what did all this for me. It was the truth that this day you proclaim, ‘On Him the Lord had laid the iniquity of us aH.”’ Y onder is a woman who would say: “£ wandered off from my father's house; I heard the storm that pelts on a lost soul; my feet were blistered on the hot rocks. I went on and on, thinking that no one care 1 for my soul, when one night Jesus met mo and Ho said: ‘Poorthing, go home! your father is waiting for you, your motheris waiting for you. Go home, poor thing.’ An 1, sir, I was too weak to pray, and I was too w.-o; to repent, but I just cried out; I sobbed out my sins and my sorrows on the shoulders oc Him of whom it is said, ‘the Lord hath lai I on Him tho iniquity of us all. ’” There is a young man who would siv: “I had a Christian bringiug up; I cam ■ from the country to city life; I started well; 1 had a good position, a good commercial position, hue one uigbt at the theater I m C some young men who did me no good. They dragged me all through the sewers of iniquity, an I i lost my morals and I lost my position, and l was shabby and wretched. I was go ing down the street, thinking no one cu-ji 'for me, when a young man tapped me on the shoulder and said, ‘George, come with me and I will do you good.’ I looke 1 at him to see whether he was joking or not. I saw he was in earnest and 1 sal 1, ‘What do you mean, sir?’ ‘Well,’ he replied, ‘I mean if you will come to the meeting to-night 1 will be very glad to introduce you. I will meet you at the door. Will you comer Baid I. ‘I will ’ these night-. I have come to bear your bur dens, and to pardon your sins, arid to pay your debts, rut them on My shoulder* put them on My heart.’’ “On Him the Lord hath laid the iniquitj|of us all.” Siu has almost pestered the life out of some of you. At times it has made you cross and unreasonable, and it has spoile I the bright ness of your days and tbo peace of your nights. There are men who hove been' rid dled of sin. The world gives them no solace. Gossamer and volatile the world, while eter nity, as they look forward to It, is black as midnight. They writhe under the stings of n conscience which proposes to give no rest here and no rest hereafter; and yet they do not repent, they do not pray, they do not weep. They do not realize that just the po sition they occupy is the position occuoie I. by scores, hundreds an 1 thousands of inen who never found any hope. If this meeting should be thrown open an l the people who are h >ra could gi ve their testi mony, what thrilling exeeriences we should “I went to the place where I was tarrying. I fixed myself up as well as I could. I but toned my coat over a ragged vest and went to the door of the church, and the young man met me and we went in; and as I went in 1 heard an oldman praying,and ho looked so much like my father I sobbed right out, and they were all around so kind and sym- B atlietic that I just gave my heart to od.and I know this morning that what you say istrue; I believe it in my own experi ence. ‘On Him the Igird hath laid the iniqui ty of us all.’ ” Oh, my brother, without stopping to look as to whether your hand trembles or not. without stopping to look whether your hauu is bloated with sin or not, put it in my hand, let me give you one warm, brotherly, Chris tian grip, and invite you right up to tha heart, to the compassion, to the sympathy to the pardon of Him on whom the Lord had laid the iniquity of us all. Throw away your sins. Carry them no longer. I pro claim emancipation this morning to all who are liound, pardon for all sin, and eternal life for all the dead. Some one comes here this morning, and I stand aside. He cornea up these steps. He comes to this place. I must stand aside. Taking that place Ha spreads abroad Hi i hands and they were nailed.

Then I gather up all the sins of a hundred people in this house, and I put them on the shoulders of Christ, and I say: “Canst Thou bear more?” He •ays: “Yea, more.” And I gather up al' the sins of this assembly, and I put them on the shoulders of the Son ot God, and I say: “Canst Thou bear them?” “Yea,” He says, “morel” But He la departing. Clear the way for Him, the Bon of God. Open the door and let Him pass out. He is carrying our sin’, and bearing them away. We shall never see them again. He throws them down into the abysm, and you hear the long reverber ating echo of their fall. “On Him tho IjonI hath laid the Iniquity of us all.” Will you let Him take away your sins to-day? Or do you say, “I will take charge of them myself; I will fight my own battles; I will risk eternity on my own account.” A clergyman said in hts pulpit one Sab bath, “Before next Saturday night on* of this audience will have passe 1 out of life.” A gentleman said to another seated next to him, “I don’t believe it. 1 mean to watch, and If It doesn’t come true by next Saturdav night I shall toll that clergyman his falsehood.” The man seate 1 nextto him said, “Perhaps It will be your self." “Oh, no,” the other replied; “Isball live to be an old man.” That night he breathed his last. To-day the Saviour calls. All may come. God never pushes a man off. God never de stroys anybody. The man jumps off.

Seaton among us during a service was a man who came in and said, “I don't know that there is any God.” That was on Fri day night. I said, “We will kneel down and find out whether there is any God." And in the second seat from the pulpit we knelt. He said: “I have found Him. There is a God, a pardoning God. I feel Him here.” He knelt in the darkness of sin. Ho arose two minutes afterward in the liberty of the Gospel; while another sitting under the gallery on Friday night said, ‘ 1 Mt op portunity is gone; last week I might nave been saved, not now; the door is shut.” And another from the very midst of the meeting, during the week, rushed out of Hie front door of the Tabernacle, saying, “I am a lost man.” “Behold! the Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world." “Now is the accepted time. Now is the da • of salvation." “It is appointed unto ail men once to die, and after that—the judg ment f’ ^ NEWSY GLEANINGS.

It may be a new idea to some that “blood" is to be considered in the breed ing of mules as well as in horse-breeding. But it is no less important with the one than with the other. The finest looking and best shaped mules are grown in Kentucky and Missouri, but Kentucky carries off the palm, as the mules from that State are worth, on an average, over 110 per head more than those from Mis souri. This is because they are better bred. There is more thoroughbred blood diffused generally among the horse stock of Kentucky than in any other State in the Union, thus giving a better class of mares to breed from.— Texas Live Stock Journal. HOW TO FEED A BULL. It is a common practice to keep the bull in a separate field or lot well fenced and the gates of which are kept secure by a chain and padlock. A suitable yard and shelter pen are provided, leaving n separate door opening into the pen, so that tho cow may be turned into the pen and the bull admitted when necessary. If the cows are kept by soiling, the matter becomes easy as the bull’s yard and pen may be adjoining the cows’ yard. If the bull is quiet, or is made so by disarming him of his horns, he may be kept with the cows and fed as they are. He may be kept in sufficiently good con dition on the same feed as the cows get; any higher condition than that is inju rious and detracts from his value. No grain food is necessary except in the winter season, and not than unless his services are required. When the bull is kept in the herd with the cows he is usually more quiet and docile than at other times, but it is never safe to trust him and he should be dishorned always. ■'—Ifew York Ti-net. MANURE FOR PEACH TREES. First ofwil, the peach tree needs a rich soil. Th.s may be produced by using barnyard manure liberally. Ground bone has been found an excellent fertil izer in many orchards, applied at the rate of twenty bushels per acre. Wood ashes have given good results. Manure for a peach orchard cannot have a good effect unless the soil is friable. Some experienced peach-growers say that peach trees should never be set upon a soil that has been made suitable by un- derdraining. In other words, a peach soil should be naturally well drained. The peach cannot bear going with “wot feet.” One of the most troublesome difficulties of the peach is tho so-called “yellows.” This yellowing of the foli age is often due to the lack of nourish ment in the soil, or because the soil is too wet for the roots to take it up. There is another kind of yellow that is contagious, and may infest any orchard, and manure cannot cure it. Digging up the trees and burning them is the remedy. —American Agriculturist. FUNGI AS FERTILIZERS. Cultivators have found by experience that a soil may be naturally rich in pot ash, and yet be very poor so far as the production of rich herbage is concerned; and yet potash that has once served in organic structure is among the best of the fertilizers of the soil. It is com ing to be more and* better understood that the small fungi, which at times play such destructive pranks among plants and animals, are in the main among the most beneficial of the agencies of Provi deuce in building up the world. Just how they operate on this mineral ques tion is not known; but in connection with the nitrogen which plants contain a great deal is being learned. Plants cannot take up directly the free nitro gen which the earth nnd air contain, but through the dead remains of what has been previously organized. This is the theory of stable manure. But fungi seems to have this power. The mycel ium of a fungus will radiate lor many feet, utterly destroying the glass that comes in its way; but the new crop of grass that foliows is rank and luxuriant, by the great deposit of nitrogen left through the fungous a;tion. This i- now clearly ascertained in connection with a class of semi-parasitic plants known as saprophytes. No vegetable matter is found in many instances, and yet with no roots, they cannot live as other plants do. It is now found that a fungus accompanies them. The fun gus is parasitic on the plant, and in re turn for this sympathy, (he fungus givci the nitrogen necessary for the plant's life. This peculiar relation between plants and fungi—beneficial to both— is known as symbiosis--Ais..) York Inde pendent. teaching heifers to re milked. Teaching a heifer with her first calf to stand quietly and be milked depends very mueb on the disposition and previous handling of the animal, but even more, I believe, writes a correspondent, on the disposition and management of the milker. The treatment should be firm, but of a gentle character, such as not to excite her fears or resentment. No domestic animal can be ma le gentle or obedient by harsh words or brutal punishment. For the first milkings, without making preparations in a way to alarm her, if she is at all mild it will be best to put her in a position where she will he absolutely under control ar.d cannot escape. No worse beginning can be made than to let a heifer at her first milking kick the pail und run away. If she persists in kicking tic tier foot so she cannot raise it. It is better to tic a cow and confine her closely in a stall than to have somebody assist you and attempt to hold her. Let her know from the first that you are able to take care of her without any one helping you, and that she cannot gain any victory over you if she tries. She should, if possible, always bo milked by the same person until she is at least thoroughly broken to being milked twice a day, and she will soon learn to accept her regular milker as her master, and if rightly han dled at first will give little or n) trouble afterwards.—AV(« York World. THE TUBEROSE. Everyone who has a garden, or a taste for flowers, knows the tuberose. The cultivation of tho bulbs was, for many year?, confined principally to the Ita’ian nurserymen, but for the last twenty-live years they have been grown in this country. At the present time the mar kets of the world are largely supplied with American-grown bulbs. The tube rose is a gross feeder and succeeds best in a light loam, but wilt grow in any soil providing it is moist and rich; rich it must he regardless of otlier conditions; its complete requisites being heat, water and manure. If those are proportionate, it matters not how much there may be, the plant will consume it, snd by their growth show its importance. For field culture prepare the ground as for a crop of potatoes; plant in drills thirty inches apart and place the bulbs four inches apart in the drills, three inches below the surface. Keep the cultivator con stantly going, not to kill weeds so mucli as to make tuberose bulbs. After a frost take up the bulbs, cut the tops to within two inches of the crown and store in a dry room where the temperature docs not fall below forty degrees. From North Carolina southward, small sets wiy make flowing bulbs in one season. At the North two years ate required. For blooming in the garden the sets should he taken off, and the Mulbo put away un til the wounds have idried over; then plant in good, rich soil, .placing the bulb just below the surface; if covered too deeply they are not as likely to flower.— American Agriculturist. FARM AND OABDEN! NOTES. Gladiolus bulbs maybe planted ’ until July. To feed the crop, tho soibrnust be fine and soluble. Make your farming as •diversified as your wants. Give your team plcntyi of time in which to cat. Dree 1 for Eggs; there isTltss risk th an in chickens. Feed every animallby itself. Allow no interference. Kindness to the • cow returns through the milk pail. Overripe straw is'useful as a mulch or an absorbent. Use gravel on all your walks,: and keep out of the mud. In well eomnosted manure the weed seeds are killed. A cow should be good‘for one of two things—butter or beef. If the cap on the syrup can is difficult to unscrew, ppur hot water on it. A company has been formed to test growing Niagara grapes in Florida. Cultivation should never be deep enough to disturb the roots of plants. Good breeding nnd good feeding are both essential elements of improvement. When stock is turned to grass, it should continue to have a little dry feed. Always feed tho turkeys enough to in duce them to came home regularly at night. Young leaves, for some reason, are less liable to injury from spraying than the older ones. If the turkeys are given to rambling much it will be liust to mark them, so that you can identify them. Ijime added to the arsenites for the purpose of spraying fruit trees tends to prevent injury to the foliage. Guineas should be laying regularly now. Keep a close watch on them or many of the eggs will be lost. Vick says that frequent syringing of the foliage, etc., a moist atmosphere, are the best preventives cf the red spider. If proper attention were paid to grow ing timber one-half the timber land might lie kept to grow something else. If you have not already sown your an nuals, such as phlox, petunia, asters, candytuft, sweet peas, etc., do so now. A diversity of crops distributes work, receipts and expenses more evenly through the year and through the years. In cleaning out the hay mow give the trash to the poultry to pick over; there is always more or less seed they will eat. Some ventilation is necessary in the hen house, but in giving it good care must be taken to avoid direct draughts. A good way to give oil of any kind to poultry is to pour it on the drinking water; floating on top it will be first taken. If well fed from the start ducks ought to be ready for market at ten weeks old, and at that age should average five pounds. Peafowls though not generally used, they make a very acceptable table fowl. Their noise is objectionable, but they are very ornamental. Bumble foot in poultry is nearly al ways caused by iiaving the roosts too high. Tim best remedy is to lower tho roosts and use vaseline. A yard is best for turkeys. AVhile they should not be allowed a free range, at the same time they will not bear close confinement as well as other fowls. An advantage with the incubutor is that a large lot of fowls are hatched at once. It is very little more trouble to look after 100 than to look after twenty- five. Cows are like other animals, and even men and women. They need fresh air, sunlight and exercise—not horse-racing exercise, but cow exercise, in walking around. Put a large shovelful of manure around each j ouag raspberry plant and you will derive tho benefits therefrom next season. Any attention given young raspberries is always rewarded the follow ing year. Old strawberry beds should be plowed ns soon as the berries are picked off if the bed does no longer yield well, and n crop of late potatoes raay be grown on it, which will serve to kill out the weeds and grass. A good garden, a good orchard, and a qualtity of poultry arc of first economy on a farm. Health nnd strength de pends largely upon these articles of diet, and a farmer may and should supply them himself. John Thrope, a good authority, calls the rose Clothidc Soupert one of the most valuable introductions of many years. “It is perfect as a plant pot for market and surpasses the Hcrmosa as a bedding rose.” President J. D. \V French said at meeting of the Ayrshire Association "Milk records are good, but more mis sionary work among the farmers who worship at the shrine of the scrub bull will bo better.” If you wish to haul out your coarse manure, put it ou a field intended for a green manuriat crop, so as to plow the crop under and thereby more intimately mix the manure with the soil as well as to destroy weeds. A gardener wiio has tested it for three years tells in the Home Journal that broken pieces of bone do much hotter than broken crockery for draining flower-pots. The plants suck the fertiliz.ing quality out of the bones and make such vigorous growth that the plants in pats supplied with houei could lie told at once. Useless Rigging. Two of the strongest advocates of re taining sail power on vessels of the new navy as auxiliary to .steam have bee.i Admiral Walker and Chief Constructor Wilson. Both have materially altered their views since observing the experience of the Chicago while on the squadron of evolution. Admiral Walker found that her sails were of no use whatever, except to steady her in a heavy wind, and for this purpose fore nnd aft rig would be sufficient. The Admiral is of the opinion that sail power on twiu-screw vessels is simply a useless encumbrance, as the sails are practically never used, and the rig ging only furnishes additional resistance to air, and is so much additional dead weiaht to be carried. The only twin- screw vessels of the now navy with square rigging are the Chicago and the New ark, and it will probably not be long be fore all their rigging comes down except tho low raasfs, with the military tops, and a simple fore-and-aft rig.—Ptcayune.

Shot to Death for Drawing a Pistol Upon His Superior Officer—‘ Shoot Straight at My Heart." The following particulars of the recent execution of Lieutenant Estuperron, a young Mexican officer, arc given by a Tunes-Democrat correspondent; Monterey and the State of Nuevo Leon has been the theatre of many military tragedies, but the shooting of Salvator Estuperron, second lieutenant of the Mexican Cav alry, was the saddest that has ever dark ened the annals of the State. A brief history of the event which led to this morning's execution Is necessary to a proper understanding of the case. Last December a company of the Thirteenth Regular Cavalry was ordered to do special duty at Cadereyta, a small town on the Gulf road. The company was in command of a first lieutenant and the de ceased. A dispute arose between tho officcis, aid Lieutenant Estuperron fear ing, as his friends say, that his life was in danger, drew his pistol, but did not shoot at his superior. It is claimed that he snapped the pistol, but it missed fire. For this offense he was placed under ar rest and tried by a general court-martial and sentenced to death. There were extenuating circumstances admitted, and the case was carried to the highest Federal courts. Pending a decision the first officer of the company was shot dead in the portals at Mon terey by one of the soldiers, and the soldier, while yet the smoke was curling from his weapon, was shot down by the captain of the company. Whether these deaths affected the par doning (lower or not will never be known, but the finding of the court was approved, and powerful personal appeals by persons intimately associated with President Diaz were unavailing. The death warrant was signed and carried in to execution. That the officer was ad mired by the people and dearly loved in his regiment was well known by the au thorities, as the precautions taken by the commandant of the department were ample proof. The t ; mc of the shooting was kept a profound secret until the night before the execution. The cathedral clock chimed four. There was a sharp bugle call, a hurrying of mustering feet, quick com mands nnd rapid evolutions and in a few moments the garrison fell into line. The gate in the rear of the barracks was opened, and the Thirteenth Cavalry in full marching order on foot, issued forth, followed by their baud with muffied in struments. The Filth Cavalry followed, and then the Fifth Infantry. They formed a square, three sides of which consisted of the representative regiments. The fourth was the wall of the barracks. The general commanding the department and staff took up a position in the centre. When the troops halted the commanding officer called, “Attention?” “Fix bayonets!" He then announced the sen tence, and added: “If any man moves in the ranks or gives any expression cf sympathy with the prisoner or fault with the sentence he shall be committed to prison from one to five years, dopending on the gravity of the offense.” The silence as of death fell upon the soldiers and the few spectators who were allowed to be present. Afar off the church bell tolled the knell for the dy ing. The early sun just gilded the mountain peaks that rise like giant senti nels around the historic city, and one's thoughts went hack to the dull gray morning long ago, when an American soldier knelt upon his coffin and met a bloody death almost on the same spot. Great white wreaths circled the higher hills. It is now 4:45. From out of tiio gate issued a company of the Thirteenth, at its head a prisoner, and by his side a priest. With a firm tread and a proudly lifted head he marched, never faltering or halting, but with a bright smile upon his face, he looked the least concerned of the party. He halted at a small marked elevation twenty feet from tho barracks wall. His company filed past and formed in front, four fines deep. Two fines advanced, halted, and one *tiV. advanced. There were six men in each line. The tiring party thus con sisted of six men in the front line within ten feet of the prisoner, and tho second line within fifteen feet. The other two lines formed a reserve. The death knell tolled and the clock struck 5. The offi cer advanced to bandage the eyes of the prisoner, but the latter waived the olli cer aside nnd said: “I have looked too often in the face of death to fear him now.” “It shall be ns you wish,” said the captain, as he took his place at the left of the firing party. Taking off his hat the prisoner surveyed the assembled troops, looked once at the sun-tipped hills, and said to the firing party: “Shoot straight for my heart, but do not strike my face. Adieu,” And bringing his hands to the position of “attention,” he awaited the end. There was a slight flash of the captain's sword. The guns came to, “Ready!” Another flash. "Aim!” The blade drops. Six sheets of flame dart toward the prisoner, who sprang into the air with three bul lets in his heart. The surgeon took his wrist. The captain gave a quick command, a soldier stepped from the ranks, and placing his rifle to the pris oner’s head, fired. In less than fifty seconds from the drop of tho sword Lieutenant Estuperron was dead. The bugles sounded. The troops tiled (last the body; it was put into a coffin and the grim tragedy was over—and as brave a man as ever buckled on a sword had crossed to the “bivouac of the dead.’’ No Fireproof Ritildlnga. There is hardly a new hotel or business building in New York but that is adver tised as fireproof, an I yet a leading architect told me the other day that such a thing could not exist. “They may be fireproof to all extents and purposes,” said he, “but if inflam mable material be in them and it gets afire the iron girders and beams w ill so expand that they will 1ft the floor above down. When one fioor falls in an iron beamed building they ail go, and then the side walls fall. The ruin is usually more complete than it is in an ordinary building. We do not build those iron fireproof fronts any more, because incase of a fire they fall forward and demolish the building across the street.”—Ji’eie York Herald.
