A VEIK OP PRATER FOR THS NATION AL, STAT* AND LOCAL W. C. T U MARCH 18TH TO 25TH, 1888 Beloved Sister*:— We call every anion, and every woman in onr heroic conntitueucy to spend a week in uni ted and special prayer, beth private and public, for such a baptism of wis dom and courage upon ourselves, and such a putting forth of divine power as shall be felt in all this land. Reasons: The year upon us Is one of struggle and destiny. Within these months the temperance cause shall be in the very heart of a mighty contest. Then let as pray, First: That upon our great organ ization may come a fresh Impulse from Heaven; and on every active worker a Dew anointing of the Spirit. Second: For our unused member ship held to us by pledge and name, but not consecrated to the spirit and activities of the work. Let us »sk God to call our own women from idle ness to service. Third- For the great body of Christian womanhood who yet stand afar from tLis greatest of missionary agencies for the salvation of our own and other lands. The meetings of the week need not be widely public, nor their aim to in vite universal attention. Begin quiet ly an afternoon meeting for prayer in your own nsual place of meeting,or ID a parlor, with the hearts touched al ready with a longing for more of God in our work, and more of His power on all on* people. Make special effort first for all members of the unions, 'hat together we may offer our pray ers. If attendance widens, as it will, do not allow discussions upon the temperance reform or sit methods. Seek God. Seek Him alone for a great awakening of the church and ibe nation. The liquor traffic is here with its abominations legalized be cause ot spiritual death. We need conscience aroused and made true Sisters of the W. C. T. U., set the week apart, bold at least one meeting a d-y for the quiet, unostentatious seeking of God herein suggested. Two public evening meetings, with oermons, gospel talks, or conferences would be of great value. The even ing of March 25 might be made effec tive by union aeryices where these ean be secured. When the churches cannot give way for this, hold Buch a meeting in the afternoon of that day. No topics are suggested lest they lead from the one central thought ot ail the days. Many things yon will remember: our own work} our coun try's need and perils; the workers who must go out into the coming contest; the pleaders at the fireside; the voters at the ballot ho*; but tbia one thing seek and find: God's touch of power upon our own spiritual life, and the spiritual life of the nation. On behalf of the National W. C. T. U. FRANCES E. WiLLAaD.Prea. CABOLINI B, BUKLL, Cor. Sec. Dear Sisters: —W« earnestly hope that this call to prayer by our Nation al President will be faithfully observ ed throughout tbe county by oar Un ions both W. A Y's. Let as unite oar hearts in common with our sis ters all over this broad land in earnest petition to Qod for his blessing using tbe topics here given as oar gaide. God's benediction will certainly rest upon our labors if wa bring Him hearts united in tbe service of prayer to this work. Where it is utterly impracticable for unions to meet so often,great benefit may be derived by rbe members personally pledging themselves to observe a certain hour of each day specified in the call,for re flection and prayer for the cause. While pastors in sympathy with tbe movement should be eolisted to give ibe subject prominence at the weekly evening prayer meeting and on tbe Sabbatb day. We hope no Unions will feel that it can afford to entirely ignore this call. S. M. MCKEE WOMAN'S WORK FOB THK PROMOTION or SOCIAL PURITY, By Miss Willard's request the branch of work under her care hither to called the department of Social Purity, had the name changed at the recent National Convention to White Cross and White Shield Department, the former involving the following pledge: 1, To treat all women with respect, and endeavor to protect them tram wrong and degradation; 2. To endeavor to put down all indecent anguage and coarse jests; 3. To maintain tbe law of putity a* equally binding upon men and women; 4. To cudeavor to sp.ead these principles among my companions, and try to help my younger brothers; 5 To nw ill possible meaus to fulfill the com mand, "keep thyself puro " And tbti latter, this pledge: 1 To uphold tbe law of parity as equally bindiDgupoa men and women; 2, To be modest in langaage, behavior, and dress; 3; To avoid ail conversation, reading, art, and amusements which may put im pure thoughts into my mind; 4; To guard the purity of others, especially of my companions and friends; 5. To strive after tbe special blessing prom ised to tbe pure in heart. These are intended for use by parents, teachers, pastors, and others who have tbe care of yonng people, and who will nse, in connection with tbe pledges, the carefully prepaiid literature of the National Woman's Christian Tem perance Union, including the leaflets of Miss Ellice Hopkins, of England, and many equally good, written in oar own country The White Croee work is for men and boys; the White Shield work is for women and girta; and the whole is carried on under the three beads of preventive, reformatory, and legal Miss Willard is assisted in this work by Mrs. Dr. Kellogg of Battle Creek, Mich., who has special care of moth ers' meetings and furnishes literature for use therein; Dr. Kate Bushnell of Evanton, 111., who is constantly speaking and organizing; Mrs. Ada Bittenbender of Lincoln, Neb., a law yer of fine reputation baa charge of legislative work for the protection of women. Early in tbe year, to meet an urgent demand, tbree series ot lea flets were prepared, the White Cross, Social Purity aud Leaflets or Mothers' Meetings, all of which have met with great favor, together with Miss Willard's valuable White Cross Man ual, and tbe beaatitul pledge cards for men, women, boys and girls. Miss Lathbury baa also contributed tbe first of ber exquisite "Talks with a Child"—for mothers only—and Mrs. Boott's "Boys and Other Boys" fills tbe want po often expressed for a little book which mothers can place la tbe bands of thtir young ibns Two new series of leaflets have been issued, (he Signal Lights, tor general distribution, twenty-one in number, and the Home Leaflets for Mothers' Meetings, numbering seven, to be ad ded to from time to time, the l*t er covering topics of health, reliei-'ue training, etc.— Editorial in Union Signal Nail These Reminders To the Barn Doors. If the iron wedge will not draw build a fire of chips and beat it. Water, green food and meats fowls must have to prosper. Watch tbe outlet* of the tile-drains that they do not become closed with ice. There is one p&rt of tbe farm that is not benefited by drainage; tbe ma nure heap. Politeness pays In tbe cow-stable. A gentleman gets more milk thau a harsh man. Straw *and corn-fodder are best worked into manure by putting them through good animals. The best preventive of trouble at lambing time is daily exercise for tbe ewes during winter. Take the bridles with you when you go to break'ast, and pat them Dear the stove while you eat. Separate the weaker animals; tbey need extra feed, whereas with the stronger they get scant feed. Profit in farming comes from tbe maximum crops, the products of win ter thought and summer work. If the chain pump is clogged up with ice do net give tbe crank a jerk. Both wheel and chain break more easily when very cold. Every farmer may be the architect of his own fortunes, and it is poor policy to let the job out to luck. Harness bung in the stable is dam aged as much by the uasea and damp ness there as it is worn by use When gieen wood is used for fuel part of the heat is absorbed to convert tbe water in the fuel into vapor. If you do not wish cloddy and life less ground in the spring keep the cattle off the fields when the soil is | soft. Drive your horses a little to one side when you stop with a load on the sled. This'makes it easier to start tbe load A fire burns better in a hot than in a cold furnace; it is equally true that an animal well wintered is half sum mered. If open, outdoor feed-troughs are turned oyer at night they will not be filled with snow and ice in the morn ing. If you place the ax noar the stove for fifteen minutes it will cat better and not be so apt to break aiong tbe edge. The flavor of the fuel used for ttmokiog meat is somewhat imparted to the meat; hence tbe taei should be selected carefully You have no right to feed a dog eo long as you have not the money to provide your family with good papers and books.— American. AgricuUu ritit. The Value of Succulencs. VVe have known of merino ewea having lambs in too winter, li ia strong lambs, and not a drop of m:ik to nourish them. Five born one very cold night and all saved by au all-night vigil, only to die the next dt.y from starvation. That ex perience was years ago and before the improtance of succulent food wan kn»wn. Last winter merino bore half-blooded Oxford-down lambs and had abuudance of milk It was a question of food. Iu the first in stance the sheep were well fed and were in fine condition, but their food consisted of hay and grain, probably corn. Afterward other merino sheep were fed hay and oats, and when their lambs came the tbe older ones had milk enough. Oar experience teaches us that to rear lambs success fully in winter the sheep should have plenty of bran and roots of some kind Turnips are the cheapest, and good enough for tbe pnrpoHe Beets are excellent, and will make more milk than tbe turnips. If nothing else can be had, then feed potatoes. There is always more or less of these which are too small for market' and they tbey will insure milk if fed lib erally to the sheep. Toese sugges tions apply to any breed of sheep, but are more of a necessity to the merinos These sheep give very rich milk, and not so much as the downs or the coarse-woaled kinds She»»p should never be stinted in food. UN less well fed the lamb* will be weak and tbe fleece light. It is always a pleasure to feed and care for sheep, as they respond so promptly and re turn a double income for the trouble and outlay.— Our Country Home. English Pronunciations.

A handsomely-dressed young wo man entered a crowded street car. A long-whiskered old fellow, wearing a dingy slouch hat and a suit of home spun clothes, got up and said: "Miss, take my seat. I don't look aB well as these here gentlemen'— nodding at several men—"but I've diskivered that I've got more polite ness " Tbe yonng woman sat down with out thanking the old fellow.

Frotn Franklin Spectator.] Until of late the Bohemian Oats business io thia or any other agricul tura district was transacted by nomf outside agent dealing direct.y and alone with the innocent granger who might be green enough to take the bait. The same price as at present— slo a bushel—was asked tor the oats, coupled with a written guarantee to sell fur the purchaser the double ol tbe quantity bougnt by him, out 01 the crop to be raised This guaran tee was generally worthless; the par ties to it could not be reached, but tbe notes giveu for original purchase were always to the tore and could be co'lected. This uncertainty ot the guarantee, or rather the dead certain ty that it was a swindle premeditated from the start, had a depressing effect upon tbe Bohemian Oats industry. Therefore, it seems to have become necessary to gut up a new plan of operating. Asrociations were formed in this county and wherever else it was designed to work tbe game The association, composed ot men known to the community as reputable persons, were intended to give confi dence to persons dealing with the agent. Thei" - names were connected with the guarantee. But even thif sort of guarantee did not seem to be valid in the case of Mr. J. Y Siiijfins, of Allegheny township, who brought suit against the Cbapmanvillu Bohem ian Hulless Oats Association recent ly- To speak very mildly, there is something wrong about the entire business Intrinsically the so-culled Bohemian oats are not worth ten dol lars nor the tenth part of that suui If sold at that price tne purchaser is swindled; and if twice the quantity purchased is sold* tor him by the asso ciation or syndicate, the operation is still a swindle transferred to some body else, it is a bald-faced game 01 gouge all tbe way tnrough, made the mo:e possible by the sanction of asso ciations of persons whose greed has outrun their senses of right and wrong, or who have thoughtlessly lent their names to an operation desigued by crafty and unscrupulous adventurer* to fleece the unwary. Speaking ot tbe case of Siggins against the Chap manville syndicate, our neighbor of the Evening News justly says, "Lit tle sympathy can exist for any of tbe parties to tnis suit." Why should ttoere be any sympathy in a case where the people who intended to gouge tbe general public have only gouged each other? Captured The Town. The village of Johnstown, Monroe county, Ohio, must contain the green est set of people on earth if the re ports of swindling lately d »i.- there is true. It is said that about six ago a very slick yountr man induced VlcGrue Bros. & Bradwiek, of that place, to pay bim $1 800 for the right to sell a patent web baiter A. few days later O'Conner & Sceur man were caught by another man with a patent gate hinge, paying $250 for tbe exclusive right in Ltcking county. A third smooth-spoken geu tleman came with a wonderful f*n;i: ng mill. Geo Clark traded hi* small e'ore, with a $1 000 stock, and a creamery worth $2,200 for tbe right of sale in 30 counties. Otber victims swelled th* fanning mill man's earn ings to $7,000. After a few days a washing machine agent came aloog and readily sold the right to II coun ties. Licking coanty brintrinir sls'.>. A fiend with a cyelone fence-making machine came uext and sold the right to Cush & Myers fo a S6OO hydrau lic cider press, 70 barrels of cider vin egar, worth $6 a barrel and $l5O iu cash, a total of $1,260. The amiable gout It-men today load ed ail their plunder on freight cure and removed ir. and when it was gone the victims began to realize that they had been swindled. It took one car to carry away the creamery, another for the cider press, a third for the vin egar and a fourth for the hardware, lumber, &c., which had been tender ed for patent rights.
