An important document has been sent to all the Irish Bishops. Joe Brady, the first "Invincible" convicted ot participation in the Phoenix Park butchery, was hanged at Dublin on the morning o f the 14th inst Reporters were denied admission, the Irish executive and British Home Secretary having sternly resolved tha3 none but officials should witness the execution.

The instructions of the Vatican to the Bishops of Ireland condemn the Parnell testimonials as an incentive to rebellion against the laws, and say it is Intolerable that priest or Bishop should aid such objects. Joe Brady, the first of the Irish In. vincibies to get his neck into the hangman's noose for tine murder of Lord Cavendish and Under Secretary Burke, was visited by his mother just before the execution. She was heard to exclaim: "Mind, Joe. no statement" Brady smiled, and replied: "Don't be foolish; do yon think I tun a fool?" Itis stated that the mother threatened to diiiown her son if be gave the Government any information. Brady made no statement to the Jail chaplain or to the Governor ot the prison.

After dinner back he went; all the short afternoon he was not heard from, but, just as Mr. Peters was deciding to call him again, lie appeared. "Pve done my best, sir," he said, "and down at the vcrv bottom of the box I found this." k,X,his" was a $5 gold piece. "Thafs a queer place for gold," said Mr. Peters. "It's good you found it, Well, sir, I suppose you will be no hand to-morrow morning?" This he said as he was putting the gold piece in his pocket-book. After Crawford had said good night and gone, Mr. Peters took tho lantern and went slowly up the attio stairs. There was the long, deep box in which the rubbish of twenty-five years had gathered. Crawford had evidently been to the bottom of it; he had fitted in pieces of shingles to make compartments, and in these different rooms he had placed the articles, with bits of shingles laid on top and labeled thus: "Good Borews;" "Pretty good nails;" "Picturo nails;" "Small, keys, somewhat bent;" "Picture hooks;" "Pieces of iron whose name I don't know." So on through the long box. In perfect ordor it was at last, and very little that could really be called useful could be found in it. But Mr. Peters, as he bent ovor and read the labels, laughed gleefully and murmured to tho mice: "If we are not both mistaken, I have found a boy, and ho has found a fortune." Sure enough; the sign disappeared from the window and was seen no more. Crawford became the well-known errand-boy of Peters & Co.

The damage that is done by persons getting up is past all reckoning. All the mischief and crime, the counterfeiting and forgery, the murder and thoft, are perpetrated by parties who persist in getting up. Not only individuals do wrong by leaving their beds, but rivers as well do an immense amount of damage. What an immense, incalculable amount of work, labor and experience has not their early rising caused? What man was ever dunned by a creditor, hod his eye put in mourning by too close proximity with some one's fist, broke his leg on a slippery pavement, was mn'over by an omnibus, who lay in bed? What great achievements have been accomplished in war, poetry, in literature, by genius abed I What noble thoughts have been born between the sheets, and, once delivered from their authors' brains, gone, Jehu like, whispering down the race-course of time I "Coming events cast their shadows before" one of the most memorable lines in the English language originated with the gin-loving poet, Tom Campbell, one morning before he hod arisen. Longfellow thought out the exquisite poem, "The Wreck of the Hesperus," after ho had retired. Ben Franklin saidf "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Now, Franklin started out all right, but got terribly mixed when he said "early to rise." There is the fatal mistake. People who rise early are sure to catch malaria; the ground is full of half-hatched, poisonous germs; the sun is not up and has not warmed them into life, given them wings and set them adrift. Poor, misguided man, he arises, inhales them all; they fruotify and poison his entire system; hence chills, fever, malaria and half the ills that human flesh' is heir to. Bise before the sun.

How Sot to Bead Shakspeaxe. It is well to refer to the opinion of a man who edited Shakspeore without addling his brain, to-wit, Samuel Johnson, who said substantially that if one wishes to enjoy the reading of Shakspeore he should do it without note or comment, letting himself be carried along on the flowing tide of the musical lines, without breaking the continuity to look at definitions or various readings. These can come afterward, if he chooses to run the risk. To do this, in reading Shakspeare, is to dismount from a hunter to search for

snails, or to hitch a race horse to a

plow. The musical now of the language, and its gorgeous imagery, which, like music, need no analysis to be enjoyable, are lost when read ploddingly, 'searching for definitions of obscure words or varied conjectural readincnt or mvstio meaninars. One of the

merits of Edwin Booth is, that he does not practice this mousing pretense of scholarship. They who addict themselves to it, lose the faculty of discerning between things of consequence and things of no consequence; between

sense and no sense, and, in general, get

utterly addled in their brains. This work has left a long roll of Shakspeare maniacs, whose fate is a warning that

thev who enter here are pretty certain

to lose their reason. Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette.

coffers of many who profess to be fol

spoils wrung from the thin hands of the

are rents paid to church members for places that are used as traps and pitfalls to insnare unwary men; there are gains acquired in a thousand ways which are blackened with the stain of sin and with the ourse of God. Thou

Word ana work. Snakes in India. . Sir Joseph Favrer estimates that, since

1870, the appaling number of from 150.000 to 200.000 human beings have

been destroyed by venomous snakes in India. He is of the opinion that not until a system of organized, determined and sustained efforts for the destruction of snakes is vigorously carried out will the evil be fairly grappled with and overcome. It is only by the destruction of the snakes that their evil work can be mitigated. Something, however, may be done by education, if the spread among the poorer people of India should make them more familiar with the appearance of venomous as distinguished from harmless snakes, convince them of the futility of all antidotes, charms and spells for their protection, and alter thoir present dangerous practice of liv

ing in huts whioh have the floor on the

surface of the ground. Amnng tne year 1560 no fewer than 19,060 human beings

and 2,586 cattle are reported to have been killed in India by snakes; in 1881,

the number fell to 18,blU human cloatus

and 2,032 head of cattle lost. In 1880, the number of snakes reported as killed were 212,776; in the following year it reaohed 254,968. British Medical Journal,

fruit trees of different varieties as you possibly can. It will pay. If you have but a small form put out the fewer trees,

but put out as many as you can nnd

that you may happen to raise, and you

will realize satisfactory prices for it. By all means plant all the fruit trees that you may find room for, and raise all the fruit that you can coax your

trees to bear.

FABX NOTES.

Ahxbioax wonder is a seedling pea, the result of a cross between tho champion of England and little gem. It is one of the earliest wrinkled peas in cultivation, of the finest quality and wonderfully productive. Its great distinctive feature, however, is its compact and dwarf growth, seldom exceeding ten inches in height. Ik transplanting trees all the roots whioh may have become bruised or broken in the process of lifting should be out clean away behind the broken port, as they then more readily strike out new roots from the cut parts. In all such cases the out should be a clean sloping one, and made in an upward and outward direction. Fboh six grade Jersey cows Mr. D. B.

His formula is as follows: To two quarts of soft soap I added two gallons of water; this was then heated to a boiling temperature, when one pint of carbolio acid (in a crude state) was added. This mixture is then Bet away in a barrel or other vessel, and is ready for use as occasion may require. One part of this liquid is then mixed with fifty parts of water and the plants sprinkled or trees washed with it, Complaint has often been made that grapes grown iu the vicinity of gas

works possess the disagreeable taste

and odor of gas-tar, and it has been supposed the fruit absorbed this volatile substance from the air. Recent investigations prove, however, that the odor and flavor of the grapes are due to the fact that the sap of the vine absorbs them from the soil. If disagreeable odors may thus find their way into the grapes, why, in a similar artificial process, may not grapes, and, indeed, other fruits, be possibly flavored to suit the taste, however varied and whimsical? Crnuc fob Hog Choleba. Make a strong solution (all the water will bear) and drench all that have the disease, say a pint of the solution to each. The operation is not difficult. An old tin horn, with the small end sawed off and a rope behind the tusks, is all the ap

Lake, in Chicago Sentinel Concebnikq cows and steers, the form of the feet is an indication of the nature of the place in which the animal has been reared. In stony regions the hoof grows round and wears away; on the contrary, in soft, moist and marshy districts the hoofs lengthen and flatten out, and the same effect is produced by confinement to the stable. The round hoof is a very desirable quality. Continned stall-feeding renders the feet so tender that after some years the animal

can take no exercise, nor even comfortably travel over the pasture. The foot

grows long and thick, and tne creature is entirely unfitted for work or for driving to any distance. Milk is declared by practical physicians who have tried it thoroughly to

be an almost certain cure for typhoid fever. An old Virginia doctor, who, it

is alleged, never loses a patient oi typhoid, says his treatment is the simplest thing in the world. "All you have to do is to get the patients' stomachs in good order and then diet

them on buttermilk." If it is good as a cure it should be excellent as a preventive.

In regard to the latter two animals, however, she is making rapid strides to a higher position. Jonathan Taxcott, of Rome, N. T., writing abont potatoes, says: I have found by experience in cultivation that the Beauty of Hebron is, all things considered, the best early potato I have ever grown on my farm. That may not be true in all situations, as the potato is liable to variations in different soils and under different oiroumstances. The variety that succeeds well in some localities may foil in others. The Beauty of Hebron seems to be one of tho sorts that adapts itself to most soils, hence its general distribution among farmers would prove of decided benefit to tho farming community. All cultivators of potatoes should bear in mind the fact that all early potatoes need richer land to give thoir b?st yield than those that mature later in the season. Their period ot growth being shorter, they require more nourishment to mature the crop than later maturing sorts, a fact that many good farmers overlook when fitting their ground for the potato crop. Fob several years past, writes an Iowa correspondent of Country Gentleman, there has been talk about farmers raising their fuel on their own farms. Prairie grass lias been bound in tight rolls, and used for grist and flouring mills; cornstalks also have, in severe weather, been considerably used as fuel, and give oxcellent heat. What is required is some liquid substance, like tar, in which to dip some of the strongest stalks, and put these in the centers of bundles a foot thick and two feet long. The stalks dipped in bitumen adhere to the others, and all are pressed tightly together, and bound in three places with fine wire. The sections are set up vertically iu the center of large Russia-iron stoves. Burning only on the surface, a section of this fuel will lost four hours. When the surface is covered with ashes it can not burn; but gently jog it till the ashes fall, and it burns again, and so on, and I am oonvinced fuel prepared in this, or

eom equivalent manner, will some 4) be in universal use. Meanwhile, wt have corn-cobs. There is a voiyim portant consideration in favor ot home raised fuel having the qualities of wood fiber, and not emitting unwholesonu gasses as do the various grades of softcoal abundantly mined in various parts of Iowa, and generally in use in factories, hotels, and houses throughout the Northern Mississippi valley. Indeed, the soft coals are so repugnaftj to health and comfort that most of the well-to-do and intelligent business men and farmers burn hard coal, at doable cost, contending that the superior stead' iness of the heat and the greater health fulness of apartments more than compensate for the price. West el the Mississippi, one ton of anthracite costs as much as two of bituminous coal in s majority of localities. As a summer or cooking fuel, corn-cobs have the decided advantage over either hard coal or soft, that when a hot fire is required m'auick

time, it can be made with corn-cobs in one-fourth of the time required with soft coal, the difference between hard coal and soft being about at great. Moreover, corn-cobs afford fuel that is very clean to handle, and requires no breaking or hammering to fit it for use; and being of nearly uniform size the heat can be regulated to almost any required degree in stoves of good size. It must be added that the corn-cobs supplied by shelling the immense quantities of corn consumed in thousands of Northwestern towns about onti-third ol all that is raised are now all used for fuel by the townspeople themselves in preference to the coal they have near at hand, DOMESTIC RECIPES.
