Still, I'am in favor of reducing the rates for the benefit of the regular patrons of the road. There is what might be ealled ti:e tin bucket brigade, composed of day laborers, who wish to cross night and morning, and thero is also the army of clerks, who would also be benefitted by a commutation of rate. Some three or four months ago Messrs, Stewart and Barton were instrumental in having the rate for foot passengers reduced so they could walk _over the bridge for | cont, and then the 5-cent fareon this side made it really a_G-.cent rate for them. A number of the smeiting works employes took advantage of this, as they are 80 near the brideo that 1t gave them a very short walk, but aside from them it benefitted fo but the tramps.

You see, we had experienced a whole year of really remarkable weather—a winter of exceeding mildness and & summer in which extremely hot weather was want- ing. Thero were very few pecople who thought that it would last and they were looking for a regular pincher* this winter, The farmors were telling about how thick the corn husks were, and nearly everybody was looking for a loug siege of frigid weathor. They thought it would start in early and haug on late, and 80 it happened thut this bet of a thousund cigars was made. ‘The ground was haraly frozen at all before the first of the year, My brother, out here in the country, had four plows running on the day sefore Christmas and has finisned lowing all his corn land for next spring. 'he little cold snap that came on after New Year's is all over now and another day like this will leave very little frost in the ground, It has only boen frozen to the depth of four inches and there is nothing to interfere with building work. 1 don't believe we are going to have any worse weather than we have had.

Wh ch of Ris Arms Shoutd a Gentle- man Offer a Liady. A recent discussion in the Parisian Intermediaire reminds one of the bat- tle between the big-endians and little- endians as to which end an egg should bo broken. In,his last comedy, *Mar- quise,” Sardou maintains that a gentle- man, escorting a lady either from table or from church should offer hor his arm, and always the left arm. The son he givesis that a man should keep ight arin at liberty. that if nced- ful he may be uble to give a cuff to any persou whodoesnot make for way the lady, or for the more peaceable purpose of opening a door which may bar her passage. or in [Intermedinire s thi: strine, but_contends that ignores u distinetion, delicate indeed, but which ought by no means to be disregarded. In ordinary ca he' admits that the left arm should be offered by an escort, and that for Sardou’s reasons. In church, how- ever, and in a salon, he holds that the right arm ought to be tendered. In churches and salons there is nodanger, and & man ought not by his gestures or attitudes to show himself apprehensive, In a festive hall, accordingly, giving a lady one’s lofv arm argues o suspicious be taken as an insult nsitive host. The big-and- little-endian feud was compromised by cleaving the ege. in the middle. It is ar that the etiquet of right and left arm can be so casily settled.

A well-dressed man recently entered a leading men’s furnishers’ store and nsked to bo shown suspenders, says the Clothier und Furnisher. Presently, after due investigation, he selected a certain style and inquired of the sales- man how many pairs he had in stock. Eight was the number, and he took the lov, the clerk meanwhile looking at tho customer with a suspicion as to his san- ity. There was method in the man’s madness, **You see,” said he, **when one has a par of suspenders for cach pair of trousers and one hangs the trousers by the suspenders from the closet nail the depend- ant weight keeps the trousers in shape and the ‘bag’out of the knees. More- over,” continued this practical latter- day Beau Brummell, *think of the waste of time involved in the changing of one’s -un,panflo every time one changes one’s trousers, let alone the bother. And then consider in such a case the wear and tear in both suspen- ders and trousers. Besides one pair of trousers may be longer or shovter than another and the suspenders, if they have not been changed, once adjusted properly, the process of hoisting up or down, which causes an expenditure of time and patience, is done away with, It is infinitely pleasanter and decidedly cheaper in ‘the end to have a dozen pair of braces on hand,” exclaimed the argumentative toff in a tone of convie- tion, as he picked up his package and strode out of the doorway. e M Nerve and Liver Pilla An important discovery, They act on the iver, stomach and bowels through the nerves.

A Call for a Convontion in Lincoln in February--The, Best Mulching ~The Science of & Chickens. Seea Corn. My experience is that the best sced corn is that which is grown upon the farm, selected early in the fall before thore has been any freezing weathor, drying out thoroughly and tnen storing where it can and will be kept dry until it is vondy to use, loaving in the oar until it is wanted, writes a correspond- ent in the Nebraska Farmer. Bot there are so many that think but little about the seed corn until spring, and if a suf- ficient supply canuot bo picked ont of the eribs from what is left or cannot bo borrowed from a neighbor it is pur chased. If no attempt has been made to select in the fall i many eases it will be better to send to a vespousible seed dealer and secure a good supply than risk the crop with what can be se- locted from the granary. It is ver necessary to select sced of the best qual- ity. The difference in the cost is but a small item in compurison with the re- sults, and consideving tho risk it will be found the me economical to get the best. For wmysell, 1 more replanting than is essary and with plenty of good seed planted under what may be termed good conditions, this ean be reduced toa very small amount. While if pure sced is used it is often as much work to replant as it is to plant the crop at the stavt, while the resulis are mudh iess sutis tory. Nebraska : horthorn Breeders. Two or threo years ago the Short- horn breeders of this state had o large and thriving association, and their an- nual meetings were then of more than usual interest, says the Nebraska Far- mer. Since that time' the interest has died down ou account of low prices and hard times or some other reason. = The fact of low prices ‘and indifference in the matter, is the very time above all other times that the breeders and those interested in presenting the elaims of this most numerous and .valuable of- all breeds of cattle for the common farmer, should bestir themselves to devise w: and means to meét and overcome this depression which prevails to an alarm- ing extent. In no way can this he done 50 well as by organized and united ef- fort. While this fact is felt and admit- ted by all, no one seéms to feel respon- sible for the eall of the meeting as the old society has fallen into-a state of in- difference and no regular mecting has been held for two vears. We now issuo a call for a convention of not less than 100 breeeders and those in ted in Shorthorn cattle, 40 meet at Lincoln, on Thursday, February 20th, at 2 p. m., (the place will be apnounced latter or at the Improved Stoek Breeders’ meot- ing) and reorganizb, or or Nebrasisa Shorthorn Breeders’ asso tion.

It is stated upon good authority that the daughters of the prince of Wales. like their mother, have the cool hands that can malke firm butter, which they have continually done in the Sundring- ham home farm, where the princess of ‘Wales has her pet Aldorneys and all the daintiest dairy furniture her heart n desi The walls are tiled with exquisite peacock-blue Indian tiles, the churn 15 silver and the milk y also of that precious m , lined with poreelain, while a tall milk jug painted to match tho tiling by the marchioness of Lorne 1s in constant use.

Here in fine weather come mother and daughte make their own butter, and spreud their own bread and butter and have their tea often in the company of a few friends. Allthe three princesses are very fond of animals and flowers, and take almost as much interest in the kitchen garden at Sandringham as in the flower beds, Muliching for Fruit, Mulching with stable manure around newly planted stock may be profitably done now, says Green’s Small Fruit Grower, The winter covering of straw- berry plantations may be safoly delayed until the ground hasfrozen hard, when a wagon can be driven over the beds and the covering material more easily distributed than if put on earlier. In the choice of the naterial itself there is plenty of liberty, since almost any waste matter will answer the purpose, provided that it is not too dense, but rather light and porous. The object is not 80 much to exclude frost as to shield the plants from the rays of thesun, that the soil will not thaw out suddenly and heave the plant out. When this hap- pens the crown begomes exposed and the bud is killed, ne of the best cov- erings that ean beused is evergreon branches, such as those of the hemlock, whilst leaves are notgto be recommended since they flatten down after'a time and become a close and dense mat. Snow is an excellent covering, and in northern localities where ' iV remains upon the ground all winter, one need cover for protection only iw early sprivg, when the increasing power of the sun melts the snow, and the fatal alternations of freezing at nighy, @nd thawing by day begin, AL Care for Carrants, President Smithi'tells The Farmer’s Review how he keeps his bushes in condition to yield*splendid crops” for many years: =~ Plant six feet apart, each wn{. on land previously made very rich.

One of the best crops of potatoes T ever raised was grown on very poor soil by manuring in the hills, writes a cor- respondent of the Nebraska Farmer, [ did not have n suficient quantity of well rotted manure to spread broadeast and [ applied in the hll. The ground was woll plowed and harrowed and the fur- rows marked out. With a horse cart of woll rotted manure 1 went along the rows and put a_half spadeful %ot the manure from “an old cow stable where each hill of potatoes was to grow. Then with a spading fork T worked it into the loose soil in the bottom of the furrows. 1 did not have quite enough manure to fortilize the whole pateh, and about three of them were planted with- out manuring. I recoived a good yield, when without following this plan I would haye been abloe to only fertilize a small part of the pateh.

And in o majority of ecases wherever they cannot be marketed to an advan- tage they can be used for this purpose. Tho small, unmarketable ones, at least, can be used for this purpose, as they are nearly always worth more to feed than they will bring in market, They can be fed whele when not too large, but will be greatly improved if they are sliced up and either corn meal or bran is sprinklec over them,or both. With poultry or hogs a still better plan is to cook thoroughly, mash and udd the meal o bran and they make in this way a good ration and a mess cver relished as u change: The Orchurd, Farm Journal: Your treed noed mu- riate of potash; two or three hundred pounds per acre.

Keep the temperature Gown as low as possible,| if above the freezing point. Many a orop of fruit is lost, and many a fruit’ tree dies from the unsuspectad cause of injury to the roots by hard freezing. Protect them by tramping the snow hard and covering with long manure.

Features of Australia—KFlowers With- ont Odor—No Shade, Australia is u country in which nature has established conditions unknown elsewhere, says the Boston Journal, and where civilization must adapt itself to surroundings which it finds novel and strange. It is a country full of absurdi-~ ties in animal, vegetable and human life. Its native race, in point of iutelli- gence and development of resources, 18 far below ever the cave dwellers and the people of the stone age of Lurope. Its animals perpetuate types which appeared from every other part of the globe some millions of years ago. Its wees and plants are representative of species found elsewhere only in chalk and coal measures. Hardly anything here has the charac- ter and quality of its relations in other lands. Although the trees and flowers are chiefly those of the temperate zone, the birds are, for the most part, of the tropics, and flash the finrxeou- colors of the parrot aud the cockatoo through the daull foliage of the sad-toned eucalyptus. The birds have no soug, and such notes as they possess seems like wierd echoes from a period when rep- tiles were assuming wings aud filling ____ PROFESSIONA H.

Guaranteea by Good- man Drug “What hospita asylums are to the disensed in this world hell is to the sinnerin the spiritual world,” was the conclusion w d at last night by the Rev. Chauncey Giles, of the church of New Jerasalem, i his lectur at Hell is Not,”” say» tho Philadel- u Tuguirer. subject was treated under the owing proposition “Hell isnota place for the purpose of punishment; the sufferings of the wicked do not eon- ist of remorse and the sting of con- science; the finaily imvenitentdo not suffer from regret or shame for the sins of the past; they are not tormented with despuir going to heaven, and their condition is not ouc of constant suffering.” ©The genecrally acecpted meaning of punishment,” ho snid, “is cotir }u 2u to the laws of ure, wh have their ovigin in the wisdom of God, and they cannot vise ahove him, nor he above them. Punishment is generally considered asu vindieation of ‘the law, but does 1t do that? Law is o rule of action made to be kept. Does punish- ment restore a law which has been broken? Does hanging n murdore restore the life which ho has taken? Divine justice is not a cold, hard, cent- for-cent, Shylock justice.’’ Mr. Giles then spoke the tortures of the inguisition, and propounded the query: “Will God invent punishments even greater than these for these who violate the divine law?’ Prisons, the speuker contendod, were not for punishment, but a traint for evil- doers, 8o thut they eould not harm others, and in the same way hell is to restrain the wicked in the spiritual world, and_not to_torture them. Sin was likened toa spiritual disease, which could not be cured by punishment. “The Lord secks the good of the low- st devil,” he said, * assiduonsly as he does of the highest angel. The wicked have their delights and loves in the spivit land. They may be delights of swine and brutes, but they are the best they ean have, and they will bave them in the spirit land.” A A We Are Bound 1o Krep Excited. 1f you only knew what was going on in people’s lives all the time you wouid be surprised at the amount of exci ment they create for themse ves, says u writer in the San Francisco Chronicle. The most easy-going men in the world gots into excitement sometimes, If he does not_really, he concocts i, 50 to speak, How much of our real life be- gins and ends with an “if.” ©If [ had a Tillion dollars,” everybody says, some time in his life, *“I would do so and so.” By and by he works himsel to the be- lief that he may have it, and when he gets $100,000 he is not- satisfied. *'If 1 had,” has been the beginning of mavy fortunes, of much happiness, and much unhnppiness; but “if 1 had” is generally the. last reflection of theman, But & man on a desery island will ,get excited over the weather if he has nothing else to get excited about. We cannot live without interest—without excitement. We gen- erally worry ourselves about what is all right, and feel perfectly cool about what is all wrong. The misfortunes we fear rarely come; those we don’t exvect are the real terrors. Take a fellow in love. When ho is quite sure of her and knows she is true, '.LM is the very time she is flirting with somebody else. Gen- erally when ho is frantically jealous there’s nothing in it; she is true as the stars. I don’t know who first connected truth and the stars. Idoubt il the stars are truer than anything else. They only look to be about the same place, We know, as astronomers tell us, they have moved a few millions of miles since we saw them last night. Come to think of it, I funcy the stars are the fastest things in the system, But people wust go something to occupy their minds, There is plenty 1n most lives.
