THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURC, PA! SUBJECTS FOR THOUGHT. Snlittoty mny deceive you; Integrity never will. It In n atrnn&c doeliv which men bavc to m-ok power and lose liberty. A little plot of ground thick sown Is bettor tlinu a Rront field which, for the most pnrt of it, lies fnllow. How noon the mlllenluin would come if the goxl things people Intended to da to-morrow were only done to-day, Tts pedantry to estimate nation by tn census, or by arjnnro miles of land, or other than by their Importance to tho mind of the time. How much trouble he avoid who doen not look to eee what hi neighbor says, or does, or tlilukH; but only to what he does himself, that It may be Just and pure. , There nre some vain persons, thnt whatever Booth alone, or moveth upon greater memm, If they have never so little hand In It, they think It Is they that carry It. Whoso neglects a thing which he sus psrtg he ought to do because It seems to him so mnnll a thing Is deceiving himself; It Is not too little, but too great for him, that he docth it not. He who writes himself martyr by his own Inscription Is like an ill painter who, by writing on n shapeless picture which he hath drawn, Is fain to tell passengers what shape It Is, which els no one could Imagine. ' If he who hns little wit needs a mas ter to Inform his stupidity, he who has much fiemiently needs ten to keen In c&eck his worldly wisdom, which might otherwise, like a high mottled charger, toss him to the ground. I prny you with all earnestness to prove, and know within your hearts, that all things lovely and righteous are possible for those who believe In their possibilities, and who determine that, for their part, they will make very day's work contribute to them. The color of our whole life Is gen erally such as the three of four years is which we are our own musters make It. Then it Is that we may be said to shape our own destiny, and to treasure up for ourselves a series of future successes or disappointments. Love works for work's sake; learn the poetry of commonplace things; live and love with enthusiasm; do not go through the world as if you had no backlioue uor tiny blood in your veins; carry heaven along with you, and share It with every one with whom you come to contact, for that Is the only way wa can truly possess it. Evil Is not a fixed quality. It can bo connueivd If very one will resent It and light It. Tho noble life is loving, unsolllsU, loyal and just. I have hardly ever observed the mar ried condition unhappy, but from want of judgment or temper in tho man. The truth is we generally make love la a style and with sentiments very unfit for ordinary life; they are half theatrical, half romantic. By this means wo raise our Imaginations to what is not to be expected In human Hfe; and because wo did not before hand think of tho creature we ore enamored of as subject to dlshumor, ago, sickness. Impatience or siillenness, ! but altogether considered her as the object of Joy, human nature Itself is often Imputed to her as her particular Imperfection or defect. SAUCY SCI220RINGS. The faro-dealer admits raw material free. It was stated In the obituary of a Western man that ho "was forty-three times In love." What is It that you call for in any restaurant, and never fail to have it brought directly?. The check. Did the man who plowed the seas, and afterwards planted his foot upon native soil, ever harvest his crops? "Wills, and How Xot to Make Them," the title of a work Just pub lished lu England, has a line circum locution olllee sound. Of a. miserly man who died of soft zoning of the brain, a local paper said: -His head gave way, but his hand never did. His brain softened, but his heart couldn't." A Chicago boniface says that In many of the hotels a guest has become so rare that when one registers they attach a little bell to him for fear of his getting lost. It Is true that baked beans, coffee and cakes make a good meal for a poor man, at an expense of only twen ty cents, but the question Is, hns he tho twenty cents? An Illinois man has been amusing himself lately by advertising an in fallible cure for drunkenness for one dollar, and sends in reply this pre scription: "Drink nothing but water." The Amherst professor of rhetoric says that one must not say "collect a hill," but "collect the money." We would like to see the professor do ftthor in tills vicinity, observes the Lowell (Vmrler.

ABOUT THE FARM. ninU of Vractlcnl Vno to tha Affrl cattarlst. Trof. A. J. Cook criticises some of the published formulae for kerosene emulsion as unavailable In case of "hard" water. Keep the poultry house clean and In good sanitary condition. Otherwise there Is no profit in the business, for loss by disease overbalances the In come. It U not the old tol or machtno that deserves to be thrown nway, but the wornout one; nnd It may not b In the hist state, even If old; It Cll de pends on the core It has received. Fences ore ft necessary evil, to bo dispensed with If possible, and to be modo as Inconspicuous as possible If you must hove them, No doorynrl was ever Inclosed with a poling fenco without marring Its beauty. To bo sure there are apple trees on most farms, but apples nre but one kind of fruit, and there Is not one bush of pears, cherries or plum ot to mention grapes and borne grown where there ought to bo one hundreo, Could be too. with but little effort. Fowls that have some age on them ore made tenderer nnd the flesh more Juicy by being kept confined In close , clean quarters for two or three weeks ; before being killed, and having noth ing to cat but cors and pure water. Chicks should be confined the same way nnd with the some food, but a 1 week Is sufficient, If they ore In good order when shut up. In addition to the use of the bor deaux mixture In tho vine yard nnd po- tnto fields It has beeu generally used In the fruit garden nnd propagating pit ns a fungicide. It has proved es pecially valuable In checking the ravages of the red rust of the black berry and the leaf blight of the cherry. It has also been successfully used In preventing the leaf blight of violets. Ono reason for the passing of the pumpkin Is the Introduction of Improv ed varieties of squashes, tine In grain, choice In llavor, and with long keeping qualities. Another reason may be thnt the vines of the pumpkin, which is a t rampant runner, Interfere considerably with tho late cultivation of any crop with which It Is plnutcd. Farmers frequently overstock them selves with sheeD. and then comiilaln that they do not pny. They will not thrive lr crowded, and this Is a priui ory cause of disease. The aim should bo to keep a small flock of good blood, and give these good feed, good shelter nnd wise care. This will In- j sure more nnd lietter wool nnd mutton! than n larger flock kept under poorer ' conditions. Skim milk is too little valued as on i accessory for stock feeding. Ohemle- ally considered, It cont-alns all the ele-; meuts necessary for the support of life nnd rebuilding the tissue. Young oulmnls especially will use It to great advnnrngo In combination with other foods, nnd there should be plenty of such kept on every dairy farm, so that this by product could be employed to the fullest extent to supplement the profit. The popular taste for yellow butter comes from the fact that the butter rnado when cows ore pasturing on clo ver takes tho color naturally, and usu ally has no superior In qunllty, though It may be equaled. Yellow butter has become the standard, and hence whlto or pale butter Is regarded with dis favor. But, fortunately, the coloring matter so much used to give fall or winter butter the popular color is per fectly harmless, and something like a "fad" can bo gratified without a par tlclo of danger. It Is not uncommon for some of tho mutton breeds of sheep to produce and rear twin lambs, and occasionally a triplet The English Farmers' Gazette reports that a Nottinghamshire breeder of Dorset horned sheep had one ewe that produced four lambs the second of last January. Three of these she reared, nnd the fourth was given to another ewe. Tho four lambs were sold fat at ten dollars each. The same ewe hns Just dropped four moro lambs which will be fattened as the -others wore. The lambs were sired by a Shropshire ram. It Is hard to get Flint corn to yield bushel for bushel of shelled grain ns It comes In the ear. The eight-rowed kinds wil do it if the neck of the cob Is not too long and thick and the ear Is well tilled to its tips. But the deeper-grained Western Dent corn ought always to yield a bushel of graiu for one of ears. If It does not it is a sign that the variety has a thick cob and is too Into maturing to be of much value. Some of the earlier Dent var ieties have very deep grains, nnd a cob bo small thnt a bushel of ears will make considerably more than a bushel of shelled grain. Tho lloota of Fruit Tree. While fruit growers are Aware now that the roots of tret and plants ex tend to great distance, still It Is diffi cult to break nway from the old habit of manuring about the trunks, trusting thnt somehow or other the fertiliser will bo appropriated, nnd fearing that If spread broadcast It may some way become lost. It will be found difficult to place manure In an orchard or vine yard where tho plants will not reach It, and If properly spread will not bo lost. Should It sink Into the subsoil tho roots will follow it and bring it back by the ear, as a teacher would a truant schoolboy. Wo have observed lho roots of apple trees In s.ind pics ex tending downwards ten feet. We re cently followed tho roots of nn old grape viue twenty feet under the loca tion of a defunct building. When wo stopped digging, tho roots were us large as a little linger, were four feet be neath the surface, nnd probably ex tended ten feet farther. A pile of ma nure nbout the base of ibis vine would have done but little ;;)o,l. Knowing the ('Stent and habit of root growth, It Is apparent that cultivation close nbout the trunks of tin trees or vines Is not necessary; nnd Is often produc tive of more harm than good in mar ring nnd breaking, besides tempting profanity on the part of the plowman.

The Navy Department has received In the last year some curious device for figureheads for our new warships. Most of them ore thrown nIJe nnd others returned to tho senders with letters stating that the department em ploys nn expert who hns no equal In the world for curving eagles and coats of arms of different States. Those laboring men at Bo sip n who want the State to build factories to glv them work should emigrate to Kusnla, where the Government runs extensive Industries in Siberia. A government possessing such power as these men call for would be a tyrnn ny, nnd tyrants make Siberlas for workmen. During last week three batches of Continental currency were presented to the Treasury Department for re demotion. The currency was, of course, returned to . the owners, as by law such currency, even if It was genu Ine, has no money value. At the close of the Revolutionary war, Continental currency was worth $1 In specie for t l.ooo of Continental money. This money was extensively counterfeited bv order of the British Government, In Its efforts to destroy the credit of the Continental Government. Sunt. Stump, of the Bureau of Im migration. Treasury Department, has received nu ofllelal denial from the Russian Government that that Gov ernment Is aiding Russian Hebrews to come to the United States. Many of such immigrants, however, nre com lug into this couulry, Mr. Stump says, and many of these come from the Ar gentine Republic, South America, where a few years ago the colonization of Hebrews from Russia was under taken under tho auspices of the man agers of the Baron Hlrsch fund. The cmtntrv selected In the Argentine Re public proved sterile so ns fast ns pos sible the Hebrews were sent away, and many of them have come Into tho United States lu the capacity of as sisted Immigrants. An Interesting example to the Presi dents of all republics will be set by the President of Brazil if he shall Justify tho reports that he Is about to resign bis office on nccouut of the un popularity of his policy, nnd for the sake of pence nnd in the Interest of his country. Yet Brazil Is not distracted over tho Hawaiian question, or tho Wilson bill, or the state of tho Treas ury!, or the prostration of Industry, or Income taxation, or the perversion of the Democratic party. If President Pelxoto feels that he ought to leave his offlce after last week's elections, let him think what he would have done if they had given results like that of tho election recently hold In Pennsyl vania. 'GLADSTONE AND THE LORDS. The most audacious, plucky nnd sur prising speech, ever delivered In the House of Commons was tho one deliv ered by Mr. Gladstouo. Tho speech was a declaration of wnr against the House of Lords, and tho remarks of tho Premier wonp decidedly revolu tionary os regards them. He says tho Crown should and must appeal from the Lords to the people, nnd he wants the House of Lords to bo so tied up In the near future that It cannot veto any measure passed by the House of Commons. Gladstone Is right, but how he can give success to that right Is difficult to understand. The speech made by the "Grand Old Man", will have a wider reading than any speech he ever delivered. To abolish tho Houso of Lords is tho fliwt step in tho great drama which will convert Great Britain Into n republic of five States, England, India, Scotland, Cauuda and Australia. The end Is not yet. What must be will be. The initial step has boon taken by Gladstone, nnd the future will decide whether tho great est man England ever saw Is right or not. A French author, by name Marlus Bernard, has written n savage book, entitled "Au Pays des Dollars." He describes New York us seen from the bay ns some great monster burning with nn iuward fire, belching out clouds of smoke. Once entered he has eyes only for tho dirt nnd disorder of the streets, words only for tho discomfort of tho fourth or fifth class hotel his economy or his bad taste directed him to choose, There he sees nothing but flreesenpes; from flre-escapo to tlro cscapo ho flees distracted nnd sleeps in a terror of being burned lu his bed In a nightmare of ladders nnd flre-ex-tlngulshers nnd dyuamlto. Ho wan ders In tho streets ou Sundays nnd finds no cafe; he demands of a police man where the museum Is. "Mu seum!" repeats the man of the law. who looks at him ns ho would look at an Inhabitant of tho moon fallen sud denly tit his feet: "Museum!" This is to Indicate that New York has no mu seum. In the street cars young ladles sit upon his knees without invitation and he flees breathless with terror to the sidewalk. He cannot walk upon the Fireeis without enormous Icicles falling upon his head, or being saved from failing Into some subterraneous Ciivo by the strong arm of tlw police man.
