Farewell, dear old world, that began with paradise and ended with judgment oon- flagration ! The Ocean of Life. One summer I stood on the isle of Wight, and I had pointed out to me the place where the Eurydice satlk with 200 or 300 young men who were in training for the British navy. You remember when the training ship wont down there was a thrill of horror all over the world. Oh, my friends, this world is only a training ship. On it we aro training for heaven. The old ship sails up and down the ocean of immensity, now through the dark wave of the midnight, now through the golden crested wave of the morn, but sails on and sails on. After awhile her work, will be done, and the inhabitants of heaven will look out and find a world missing. The cry will be: "Where is that earth where Christ died and the human race were emancipated? Send out fleets of angels to find the missing craft." Let them sail up and dowb, cruise up and down the ocean of eternity, and they will catch not,one glimpse of her mountain masts or her top- gallants of floating cloud. Gone down! The training ship of a world perished in the last tornado. Oh, let it not be that she goes down with all on board, hut rather may it be said of 1 er passengers as it was said of the drenched passengers of the Alexandrian corn ship that crashed into the breakers of Melita, "They all ()Seeped safe to land."

Celestials appear to understand the val- ue of advertising quite as well as Yankees, strange as the statement may sound to the latter, who sometimes talk as if they had a monopoly of business shrewdness. Chi- nese biscuits boar the imprint of the bak- er, and if you buy a duck in the market it will very likely have on its back a big red' stamp, on which, if you could only read it, is the name of the marketman. Large and attractive signboards aro a great feature of Chinese shops and present a strange mixture of the flowery literature of the land and the advertising instinct of a commercial people. A few samples will illustrate their general charileter. "Shop of Heaven Sent Luck," "Teashop of Celestial Principles," "The Nine Felic- ities ` Prolonged," "Mutton Shop of Morning Twilight," "The Ten Virtues AlI Complete," "Flowers Rise to the Milky Way." In these signs we see that the Chinamen can combine the soul of a poet with- the pocket of a showman. Carlyle quotes a Chinese signboard, "No Cheating Here," but I could not find any- thing like it. "Good and Just, According to Heaven" ought to satisfy the ideal no- tions of the author of "Santer Resartus." "The Honest Penshop of Li" implies that other penshops are not honest. "The Steel Shopof the Pockmarked Wang" suggests that any peculiarity of a shopman may be used to impress the Memory of customers. Snub noses, squint eyes, lame legs and humped backs might all be put to service in this way. A charcoal shop calls itself the "Foun- tain of Beauty,'' and a place for the sale of coals indulges in the title of "Heavenly Embroidery." An oil and wine establish- ment is the "Neighborhood of Chief Beau- ty;" a description the realization of which it is bard to imagine as existing anywhere in Peking. 'The Thrice Righteous" is a pretension one would scarcely expect from an opium shop. -Youth's Companion. A THANKSGIVING BIRD. A Turkey Freak, but a Very Handsome One.

Gleason . tells us in his book how to break horses of the balking habit. He says: When the horse balks in the harness, It is not from any unwillingness to per- form his duty, but from some confusion or excitement arising from mismanage- ment. He is willing and anxious to go, but too eager or high spirited to make the steady push against the collar neces- sary to move the load. The usual plan is to conimence and curse and lash. A volume might be written on the impor- tance -of keeping cool on all such oc- ntly simply going to moving them gently oilers to the right and ng them . time to get cool, will make them start of their own accord. Sometimes taking up one fore foot in your hand and giving the horse a sharp press against the shoulder to one side will cause him to step and start him. But if the habit is firmly fixed you will have to resort to the following means, which will take a few lessons. Then you break up the habit: Take your balky horse in the barn or on a piece of greensward. Take him by the head and tail and whirl him around until he is quite dizzy, and if you be- come dizzy before he does let him whirl himself as follows: Tie the hair of the tail into a hard knot. Then take the halter strap in your left hand, bolding the tail in your right, pass the halter strap through the hair above the knot and draw up as short as the horse will bear without running around, tying quiokly. This will bring the horse in the form of a half circle, his head fast to his tail by the halter strap. Your ob- ject is to break up his confidence in himself, and nothing on earth, no proc- ess yon can subject him to, will do it half as soon as this. Should he not run round very freely, touch him behind with the whip, which will cause him to move sharply. Simply keep him moving until he falls clown by becoming dizzy, which he will do inside of a minute and a half. Let him lie a few minutes; then tie him in the opposite direction and put through un- til he falls or is unable to move; then put on your Bonaparte bridle and give him a few sharp jerks to the right and left and show him you can handle him by the head as well as by the tail. Thus train him until he will spring to the right and left and straight forward when you ask him to, and then you are in a shape to put him in harness. If he refuses to draw, step in front of him with the bridle on,'fetching him either way first and then straight ahead, and in a short time you will work it out of him. If at any time your horse should become warm, put him aside and let him cool. You will gain time by it, for when sulky and heated he is in no shape to learn. Sense of TOPKNOT TURKEY. fairs because of the curious topknot. HE *grew to full sized gobblerhood ane weighed 30 pounds. The feathers in hie crown were some of them five inches long, and the tuft itself ran along hit skull for a distance of four inches. Have any of our readers ever seen a case of turkey like this? A breed of topknot turkeys might perhaps be formed Boone] or later. The Unmarried Woman. These are trying times for the young woman. Sho is apt, in the midst of agi- tation concerning the advanced woman, to lose sight of some of the blessings which faijl to the lot of the unadvanced. There tea possibility that in the enjoy- ment of new powers and possibilities she will overlook Certain old ones which were not to be despised. In her lately acquired independence she may forget that de- pendence had its compensations. In her ability to "live her own lige,'? as progress- ive persons put it, there is danger of ignoring the fact that there is a good deal to be said in favor of linking her life with another's. Briefly, there is danger that the young woman of the present day may scorn matrimony or may defer matrimony until she is no longer fitted for that hon- orable estate. "Can women be as happy unmarried as harried?" said a prominent physician, who has had opportunity to study the question, the other day. "No; I do not think so. In the first place, an unmarried woman has not the same sort of youth preserving interests that a married one has. Moreover, unless she is a woman of remarkable oharaster, she cannot fail to grow more or less 'sot' and selfish, and it is surprising to know bow niuoh mental states affect the health. Why," continued the doctor, warming up to her subject, "I believe that half the cases of °neurasthenia and nervous depression in my practice are caused, not by overwork, but by the need of some absorbing interest. The average woman must !Ave a place where. she 1 s su- preme, not en l� over the ivafuate ob- jects, btttsfaier.iivebbings. he itilist.have inten$e•person1B interests.

Fre their heads[hn against thir left evenl Chicken Lice on Horses. An inquirer writes to The Rural Neu Yorker as follows: "Through some cause or other chicken mites have got into the barn and attacked a black mare that is a great pet of ours. We have done all we can think of to eradicate the mites, such as scalding the barn with boiling hot Soapsuds, with an ad- dition of wood ashes, thus making a strong lye, and carbolic acid diluted in water. I have had the mare washed in lukewarm water and carbolic soap at least three times a week when the weather has been warm, but after all the work done to • either barn or mare the mites seem to have the upper hand. Can you tell me what to do with the barn and not burn it to the ground, for I believe that that would be the only way to get rid of these minute pests?" Answer. -Several who have had a sim- ilar experience say that Persian insect powder or buhach, sometimes sold in impure form as an insect or fly powder, is -the best substance to use on hairy animals which. become infested with chicken lice or mites. Get a cheap dust blower, such as is usually sold with fly powder, and blow the, buhach into the hair all over the body. [Would it not be more effective to use buhach water as a wash? -Ed. ] Do this thoroughly and then cover the animal with a blanket. If a thorough application of this powder (get it as fresh as possible of a reliable dealer) does not rid the mare of the. mites, I would be at a loss to know what to advise next, as the correspond- ent has tried several good washes. The easiest and surest way to kill the mites in the barn is to spray with a knapsack or other handy sprayer thoroughly every inch of surface, every craok and angle, with kerosene oil, used undiluted or made into an emulsion with soap, form- ing the well known kerosene emulsion. Dilute the emulsion oil only four or five times. I would use the undiluted oil, as it world take but little anyway and would save the trouble of preparing the emulsion. -M. V. Slingerland.

ItOBERTSON& SON, Wareroo ns-Strong'sRed Block, Main Street, Dr. Holmes' Mind and Body. The late Oliver Wendell Holmes pre- served his mental faculties se remarkably up to the clay of Ms death that it was not generally known how_feeble his body had become. About ten years' ago a visitor to Beverly Farms during the summer spent some ,days in a cottage :adjoining that of the Holmes family. On her return home she spoke of seeing Dr. Holmes every fine .day seated on the piazza of his home. "He had a peculiar sort of chair," she said, "with a top like that of a chaise. Uncl,erneath this he would sit by the hour in the sunshine. He is a little, thin, shriv- eled man, who totters when he walks and trembles like a leaf." Her listener, 'who was -and who is not? -an ardent admirer of the autocrat, exclaimed: "I. can't bear to hear you say that word. It sounds so decrepit!" To which she replied quickly: -"Well, that is the truth. He is decrepit." --Philadelphia Press. `The Real Thing. In the meatshops of towns in New Mex- ico and Arizona the visitor from the east, is apt to notice that the dressed carcasses of sheep have a tuft of wool still attached to the head and the tail. This is left by the butcher to assure the customer that it is mutton and not goat flesh, that he buying, for in these territories many flocks of goats are reared and pastured by the small Mexican ranchmen to be killed for food for the -poorer natives. Roast or stewed kid, with Chile pepper sauce, is an esteemed dinner dish at the tables of many well to do American and Spanish-Amer- ican citizens.-Philadelghla Ledger.

Sold by Lumsden & Wilson, Druggist, Seafortha • Hog Billing Time. Every season on many farms there is a great bother through lack of conven- iences for quick and easy handling of the hog crop. The job of turning the pigs into pork is made far more difficult and expensive than it need to be. Co- operation among farmers should secure a full set of all needed conveniences in each neighborhood where the number of hogs each farmer kills does not make ii worth while to provide a set for each farm. We have often seen a half day occupied in killing and dressing three or four hogs. On other farms, with better conveniences, 20 hogs are killed and dressed in a day. It is disagreeable and dirty work, therefore the more need for getting through with it as soon as possible. Hogs after killing should be allowed to hang overnight, and if slightly fro- zen in the morning it will be all the bet- ter. Do not, however, put the pork into the barrel while it is frozen, as it will not take the salt before spoiling. The reason for this appears to be that freez- ing the pork fills it with air, which be- comes filled with microbes which are re- tained in the barrel in contact with the meat as it thaws._ After the frozen pork is thawed wash the pieces thoroughly, taking care to get all blood out of`them. Rub salt into them before packing in the barrel. If no blood is left in the pieces and weights are placed over the pork to keep it under the brine, there will be no difficulty in keeping it sweet an entire year. To make sure, it is well toward spring to take the brine out and boil it to remove any impurities it may have gathered. All the scum that rises on the brine is evidence of what would cause a good deal of trouble if left until hot weather comes. -American Culti- vator. CATV GROCERY, MAIN STREET, SEl#Fi3RTH, Poison In Second Growth Sorghum. Second growth sorghum under certain conditions is very destructive indeed to cattle, small quantities killing them al- most instantly, and this unlucky expe- rience was undoubtedly due to the fact that the cattle ate the second growth instead of the scatterings, as supposed. Just what the destructive agent in it is I am unable to say. I have bad the op- portunity to make several post mortems upon cattle that had died from eating second growth sorghum and in all have found congestion and inflammation of than portion of the mucous membrane of the rumen (paunch) which comes in direct contact with the sorghum. It is indeed astonishing'to note the destruc- tiveness of a small quantity of second growth sorghum when brought in con- tact with the stomach of bovines under certain conditions, and experiments should be made to determine if possible what the conditions are which produce these serious results. In the meantime my advice to all would be never to as- sume the risk to turn cattle upon second owth sorghum. --F. D. Coburn in Breeder's Gazette. HEADQUARTERS FOR TEAS and FINE GROCERIES.

Here is a grain of golden wisdom from Field and Farm: "If farmers would get in the way of buying for cash only, they world do more to promote the prosperity of the whole country than could be accomplished by any other means."

The GURNEY FOUNDRY COMPANY Ltd., TORONTO, Never -since the memory of man was the horse trade so gone to pieces as it is at present. In New York this fall per- fectly matched, high bred carriage teams, from famous horse breeders and fanciers at that, have sold as low as from $300 to 8500 a pair. The scrub horses of the country ought to be made into beef to feed those who patronize public souphouses. This is an excellent time to deborn cattle if you are intending to do so. The flies are all gone, and there are health and electricity in the air. Straw. sheds make an excellent pro- tection for animals where nothing else can be afforded. But a roof of rough boards should first be put upon the structure. Then the straw should be laid on thick and rammed down and ,risscrossed, so the wintry rain will not drip through upon the animals' backs. The straw should also be heaped along the side next the northwest. How low down the horse trade has sunk may bo gathered from the fact that not long since a whole trainload of horses was abandoned at Chicago by the men who had shipped it from the west. They left the animals as pledge for freight. The railroad company sold them and got in some instances no more than $1 a beast. Yet, all the same, the rais- ing of the highest grade carriage, saddle and draft horses pays and will . pay. Don't give up the ship. Just improve it, that is all. Omaha boasts a white steer that is nearly seven feet high, and it has not been a good year for steers either. IIWIWWWWwwwwwwwwwww !McKillop Directory for 1893. • JOHN BENNEWIES, Reeve, Dublin P. 0.
