RRO NS T T S K T RSRSS WS ST S ISR P .L PR R A HEART’S OUTPOURING. There Was Something About Flavius That Was Somewhat Effluvious. Pinkie Billmore sat with her face half averted from him. In thé young man’s flushed cheek, trembling lip and agitated manner there were unmistakable signs of a coming outburst. Tre emotions of an overcharged heart could be crushed down no longer. Flavius Josephus Millsap was no stranger to the Billmore mansion. He ﬁer\'aded it three or four evenings every week, as a rule, and oftener still as a frequent exception. Everybody inm *the house, from the aged grandmother to the kitchen lady, knew he came to see Miss Pinkie. : 2 -Even Miss Pinkie knew it; despite the fact that he had never explicitly said so. In like manner he knew she was perfectly willing for him to pervade the mansion, according to rule or exeeptionally, though she bad never actually expressed herself to that efféct. e : .Yet she sat with her face half averted from him. 2 Such is the contradictory, tantalizing, exasperating habit of the young woman of all climes, kindreds, tongues, and periods of the world’s history. S Young woman! Young woman! What an abject fool thou hast made of the worshiping young man from time immemorial, even when—but this is a digression. - “Pinkie”’—the voice of Flavius Josephus Millsap again broke in upon the stillness—“you know what I want to say!” “Yes,” she replied, softly, “I know. You want to teil me that this style of wearing my hair isn’t becoming to me. That’s because you’re not used to seeing it.

But she still sat with her face half averted from him. “Pinkie, why do you think I’ve been coming here for the last six months?” “Seven months,” she murmured. This was not encouraging, on the face of it, but he went ahead: : “The fact of the matter is, Pinkie Bill- " more, I have been coming here because I . can’t keep away: Ever since I met you—do you believe in love at first sight? I do!— ever since I first met you I have known you are my fate! Dearest and best—" She put up her hand. “O, not now, Flavius! Not now!” She still sat with her face half averted from him. ; 7 “Why not, Pinkie? Why not? What is i~the matterts “Flavius”—it was almost a sob—‘“have “you been eating onions?’—Chicago Tribune.

HARD TO GET.

The Girls Were Learning to Make Hair Flowers and They : Wanted White.

A venerable white-haired clergyman recently &)reached in' the church of a friend. He. had hardiy got back to ' the vicarage from the church when the door bell rang and a young lady asked to see him. He received her. They talked about the sermon and other things, until finally she asked, difidently: ; . : :

“Oh, won’t you please give me a lock of your hair?”’ : “Certainly, my child,” said the old gentleman; flattered at the request. “I’ll send it to you to-morrow.” And he did. =

On his return to his own home he had five more requests of the same kind, and ‘he ;fvrou'd_]y boasted to his wife that he was glad to see that he had not yet lost his power to please. All went well until his wife received this note: !

“Dear Mrs. Fourthly: Won’t you please { ask your husband to send me just a little lock of his hair?” We have all {)ee'n taking lessons in making hair flowers. So many of the other girls asked him, and he sent it to them, that I thought I would rather ask you to get it for me. Won’t you please do this for me. It is so hard to get white hair for lilies of the valley.” - s This was a terrible blow, and the less " now said about locks of hair in that old gentleman’s presence the better.—Cincinnati Enquirer. ; e ; * Even in the most funereal matters there is likely to be some trace of levity.

It pervades all classes of society, in all climates,; regardless of age, sex or condition. , e The sallow, colorless-looking people you often meet are afflicted with “kiduey complexion.” Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip color, so is their complexion, They may suffer from indigestion, bloating, sleeplessness, uric acid, gravel, dropsy, rheumatism, catarrh of the bladder, orirregular heart. You may depend upon it,-the cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys. : Women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder troubie and both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, will build up and strengthen weak and unhealthy kidneys, purify the diseased, kidney-poisoned blood, clear the complexion and soon help the sufferer to better health. = The mild and Phe extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It - stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases,such as weak kidneys, catarrh of the bladder, 4 gravel, rheumatism and Bright’s Disease, which is the worst form of kidney trouble.

Broom Sedge, a Native of the South, Has Begun to Infest the North and West. - There is a weed far more deadly than and yet discussed, that is the broom sedge, Andropogon scoparius, the “grass” of the worn soils of the south. All southern farmers know this pernicious weed, ‘that creeps into ' their pastures and meadows, rooting out timothy, rooting out blue-grass, rooting out all useful vegetation, covering the abandonéd fields with a reddish brown and waving in the wind like the grass of a western prairie. They know, too, that animals will starve to death when broom-sedge grows up to their eyes. It seems to have some nutritious qualities when green and fresh, and in the arid west it is a common grass on some A = 1/ . .

It has invaded West Virginia. It has cressed the Qhio river and is seen in Ohio and Pennsylvania andi doubtless eastward. It comes first as a single tuft of yellowish red grass,! standing above the other grasses. It‘ has a light, cottony seed and feathery top. The seed blows about and the clumps increase. Sooner or later all‘ the valuable grasses have disappeared and the sedge reigns supreme. Then‘ the field must be plowed, cleaned and reseeded. 1t is hard to plow, but doubt- ‘ less is of benefit as a soil builder, at least as a soil fertility arrester. ‘ I know of townships that once were excellent grazing countries that are now practically worthless because of having been overspread with this vile. weed. Itisespeciallydangerous to allow it to get started where the plow cannot, or should not, go. Hand labor can cope with it only when first it makes its ad- | vance. : ‘

Another matter. Northern men have made sad mistakes in making locations in ‘the south where the land was overrun with broom-sedge which in their inexperience they mistook for grass. Lands have been bought at far more than their real values, live stock has been turned on broom-sedge pastures and been starved, almost before the owners realized the cause of the trouble.. Omne should study this matter well Before investing in a farm-in the south. Of course it may grow on good land; only do not depend on the sedge to support any northern bred animals.

Dig out and burn the first clump that appears in your neighborhood and tell Your neighbors of the danger. <A stitch in time saves more than 900 in such case as this.—Joseph E. Wing, in Country Gentleman. .

USE GOOD PAINT ONLY.

It Lengthens the Life and Usefulness - of Lumber and the Metal in Farm Implememnts.

It is reckless to permit buildings, yard fences, wagons, machinery and implements to go without-paint. A well-painted wire or yard fence, of course, looks better than one thatisunpainted. But it is not thelooks as much as the preservation of the object painted that is the purpose of painting. The life of anything that we usually paint is greatly lengthened by an application of a coat of paint. There is usually too much false economy where we paint a building. The average man thinks he can do it the cheapest. XNever was a greater mistake made. ‘“How can it be done the best?” should be the inquiry. Many paints hardly last a year. They crack and blister and by holding the dampness in these cracks, are worse than no paint. Pure white lead and oil will last seven or eight years; and if once or twice during that time a coat of oil is applied, the surface will be brightened and the protection increased. In the use of good paint some one who understands something about painting had better be employed. 'The Job will be more neatly and economically done.—Western Plowman.

Manure for Early Potatoes.

It is hardly possible to make land too rich where_the early crop of potatoes is to be planted. The rich soil insures early growth of the plants, and that they will come up with thick, vigorous stalks, which is the unfailing sign of a good crop. Too much manure will cause rot in potatoes late in the season, but with early potatoes the crop is generally harvested before it has time to either mature or rot. Generally the early potato crop may be got off in time to plant cabbage for a late crop, and there will be richer soil for the cabbage roots than there was while the potatoes were growing. i

Fresh Blood as Food.

The albumen, or white, of an egg is somewhat similar to blood in composition, and the poultryman will find it very profitable to procure fresh blood from the slaughter-houses wherever it can be obtaned. It can be put inta bag and cooked, or it may be mixed with two parts corn meal and one part shorts, baked into cakes, and crumbled for the fowls whenever it is needed. Fed to hens it increases egg produection, being cheaper than meat and much more beneficial.—¥arm and Fire-

COLOR IN POULTRY.

It Requires But a Few Years to Ene- - tirely Change the Colors of - Any Particular Breed.

" The Madison square poultry show held recently in New York was a most, interesting exhibition of the different breeds, and the New York Post, discussing the exhibition, has this to say as to the production of the colors to which most fanciers attach so much importance: One interesting feature of the poultry show which closed recently in the Madison square garden was the exquisite coloring of the birds. The show’ of buff and white Plymouth Rocks was a particularly good oue, and when it is considered that bu 4 4 short time ago there were only one or two on exhibition, the increase to 60 this year is remarkable. This is due to fashion more than anything else, as the few shown were so much liked that the breeders went to work at once to develop those colors. That it can be done is evident from the mnumber shown this year. They are all highclass birds, and are the culling from many more than were entered. The method of producing the colors wanted is simple. = The cock is the one which is most important, and when one of the right color is secured—no matter what his breed is so long as it is good —he is bred to pullets as near as possible to the right color. In the case of the Plymouth Rocks, the Cochin cock was used to develop the buff from the old barred variety, and the Wyandotte to get the white from the buff. The first batch of eggs from the breeding was hatched, and those pullets which come nearest to the buff were allowed to grow up; they were bred again to the Cochin, and their eggs hatched again, the process being repeated until pullets and cocks of the right color were obtained. Then to get the white Plymouth Rocks the same methods were used with a Wyandotte cock. No matter how close the inbreeding is, the quality of the birds or the eggs is not affected. With other breeds, the colors wanted are. produced in the same way, and it requires but & few - years to entirely change the colors of any breed,

FANCY EGG TRADE,

Poultrymen Should Aim to Sell Direectly to Consumers Able tao Pay Fair Prices,

Do not sell to local store-keepers if you can do better at a distance. If possible, secure custoimers among clubs, fashionable hotels, and high-class private trade.

Make egg production a study. Manage so as to have an abundance of.eggs when prices are at their best. In regard to the color of the shell, it pays to cater to the wishes of your trade. The Leghorns, Spanish and Minorcas are all producers of white eggs. Brahmas, Langshans, Cochins and Wyandottes lay brown eggs. The flavor of eggs is affected by the food. To produce fine fla-

The feed trough, drinking vessels and the litter in which the grain is scattered should be clean. Keep your hens out of the barnyard and hog lots. The unpleasant odor and flavor of some eggs are caused more by the putrid meat and decaying vegetables that the hens have eaten than by age. Egg cases are cheap, and you should have your own. Keep them clean, and when the fillers become soiled replace them with clean ones. Gather the eggs every evening and puf them in the cases as you collect them; this plan will save bandling them again. A strictly fresh eégg has an attractive “bloom” that disappears with age and is rubbed off by handling. XKeep all the small eggs and those that are soiled for home use. —M. B. Keech, in Farm and Home.-

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Gentleness always rules, and will accomplish more than force with these seemingly obstinate creatures. The quality and quantity of wool depends on the condition of the sheep, the well fed sheep producing the best and the heaviest fleece. ‘ Don’t begin breeding too young. Let the ewes have their first lambs when about two years old. Earlier motherhood brings a heavy tax on the ewe before its own development has been attained. : Young rams, now out of condition, should be well fed. If well fed now it will .be a great help for them when next season arrives. The rams have much used vigor to make up, and it cannot be done in a day. A Lambs from immature ewes will have less vigor and strength of constitution than those from ewes that are mature, and though they will live they will wever, under the same conditions, become as good as the latter. =

1f a ewe will not own her lamb put her in a pen alohe with her lamb. If this does not prove sufficient, she must be put in a rack or crate arranged so that the ewe must stand in one position, and so that the lamb can reach the udder and draw his fill.—Western Plowmian.

Sheep Eat Many Weeds,

The fact that sheep will eat many weeds that cattle refuse is a point in their favor which shotuld not be overlooked. llf the weeds are kept down by sheep they will be destroyed, thus saving labor to the farmer, which is the important item in the expenses. Anold sheep breeder, who has made sheép his specialty for years, reports that there are several sources of profit from the flock. First comes mutton, then lambs and next wool, to which may be added the destruction of weeds and the improvement of the land, the sheep dropping the manure uniformly over the surface of thie land, and pressing it into the soil with their feet., =

THE VINE AND THE BRANCHES.

International Sunday School Lesson for May 7, 1809=Text, John 15: 1-11—Memory Verses, G-S. :

[Specially Adapted from Peloubet’s Notes.) GOLDEN TEXT.—I am the vine, ye are the branches.—-John 15:15. COMPARE John 16:16, Matt. 7:16-20. LIGHT FROM OTHER SCRIPTURES.— The Illustration of the Vine.—lsa. 5:1-7; Jer. 2:21; Ezek. 19;10; Psa. 80:8-10; Hos. 10:1; Matt. 21:33. The Tree and Its Fruit.— Matt, 7:16-20; Luke 13:6-9; Gal. 5:19-23. TlME.—Thursday eve, April 6, A. D. 8, the night before the crucifixion. PLACE.—An upper room in Jerusalem. EXPLANATORY. The Suggestion.—lt is uncertain where this chapter and 16 and 17 were spoken. Chap. 14 closes with Christ’s words: “‘Arise, let us go hence,” and in 18:1 it is said that they went forth. It is probable that at the close of chap. 14 they arose from the table and prepared to leave, but before they actually went out of the roon®and while standing, the remainder of the discourse was spoken. Others think that it was spoken somewhere on the way to Gethsemane. There was no need of anything outward to suggest the figure cr metaphor of the vine and its branches. I. The True Vine Is Christ.—Vs. 1,5. 1. “I am the true vine:” The genuine, the ideal, the perfect vine. As the vine supports the branches, and its life flows' through them all and is their life, so Jesus is the sustaining power of the Christian kingdom, and the source of 4he life in all His disciples. . .« . -11. 'The Owner Is God.—V.l. “My Father is the husbandman:” Not the hired laborer, the vine-dresser, but the .owner of the vineyard, the original planter, possessor, and cultivator of the vine.—G. W. Clark. 111. The DBranches Are True Christians.—Vs. 1, 5. “Every branch .. . & ve are the branches.” A beautiful theory has been established in vegetable physiology which illustrates in a most striking manner the nature of the union between Christ and believers, as symbolized by a vine and its branches. This theory proceeds on the assumption that all plants, without exception, are strictly annual. A tree, under which class the vine, of course, is included, is generally supposed to be a single plant, Jike a primrosc, or a lily, only that it does not fade in autumn, and is possessed of perennial growth. A tree is now found to be, not a single individual, a single plant, but, on the contrary, an aggregate of individuals, a body corporate. The idea involved in a genealogical tree is exactly that which is involved in a natural tree; the former consisting of living and dead persons, as, the latter consists of living and dead plants. In its full wealth of summer foliage and vigor, a tree is literally a vegetable colony, propagating its individual plants vertically in the air, instead of spreading them out horizontally over the earth’s surface, like herbaceous plants.”—Hugh Macmillan, LL. D,, F. R. S. E. ] 3 IV. The Fruitless Branches.—Vs. 2, 6. The branches cut off are first withered and then burned. *“Thorns will generally burn immediately,” but the vine branch must first wither and grow dry before it is gathered into fagots and cast into the fire. Itisinteresting to note that, according to a Jewish authority, the fruitless and withered branches of the vine were not regarded as fit wood for the sacred altar fires, either to save fruit-bearing trees from wanton destruetion, or because ‘“bearing no fruit, they were common and unclean affairs, which might. be used for any common fuel, but still might form no part of the sacred contribution.”—Sunday School Times. V. Pruning the Fruit- Bearing Pranches.—Vs.- 2. 3. “Every branch

that beareth fruit, He purgeth it:” Cleanseth it. There is a curious play ‘of words in sgund between the taking awuy (hairei) of the fruitless branch and the purging (kathairei) of the fruitful btranch.—Cambridge Bible.

3. “Now ye-are clean:” The same word as “purge” in V. 2. “Through the word:"” All Jesus’ teaching and training for three years had been cleansing and pruning the disciples.. Imperfect as they were, they were bearing good fruit and were prepared to bring forth a great deal more and a great deal better fruit, as we see in the Acts. VI. Fhe Fr{%t. The fruit is'the faith. love and obedience referred to so.often in our last lesson. It ineludes all the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, -peace, long-suffering. ete. (Gal. 5:22, 23.) VII. Abiding in Chrfst the Means of Bearing Fruit.—V. 4. *“Abide in Me, and I in you:” How may we abide in Him? (1) By faith; (2) by communion with Him; (3) by doing His will; 4y by doing all with right motives for His sake; (5) by loving Him; (6) by the means of grace, the Word of God, prayer, the Sabbath; (7) by letting His word abide in us (v. 7), continuing in the ¢chool of Christ. | , VIII. Some DBlessings That Come from Abiding in Christ, and Bearing Fruit.—Vs. 7-11. First. V. 7. The answer to prayer. Secend. V. 8. The glory of God. Third. *“So shall ye be My disciples:” Learners in the school of Christ, followers of His teaching, énjoying His rewards. Fourth. The branches are the means through which God bestows His choice fruits upon men. The branches are the conductors of God’s life and blessing.—Dr. A. Mackenzie. Fifth. V. 9. The love of Christ. Sixth.

SALUTES OF RULERS.

Nicholas of Russia shakes hands with no one but a fellow monarch. Relatives he kisses on the forehead.

Everyone who comes to see the king of Italy finds a handshake and a hearty greeting if the king likes him. Humbert is a democratic king. S

Under no circumstances will Franz Josef of Austria shake hands with anybody except brother sovereigns. A nod and kindly smile is all he ever vouchsafes the most distinguished of his subjects. ' Sweden’s king does not like official handshaking and rarely gives one of his ministers his hand. When he is off the throne and free to be himself he is different, however, and shakes hands as heartily as one of his own subjects, Emperor William is one of the two European monarchs who delights in a hearty handshake. He has a strong grip, and the person honored by him with a eclasp of the hand is apt to remember the dignity thrust upon him, William usually kisses royal friends. When he visits or is visited by a monarch he kisses him three times on each cheek, G e
