METING OF THS P*B8B_TBItIAN 00MOBK3 ATION The regular annual meeting of St. George's Prubyteriaa church was held in the auditorium ot the church on Fri- diy evening, it which the congregation wu well rcprcscated. Rev. Mr. Logan presided. Mr. Russell gave 1 very interesting report from the Session ind S. tchoot Miss Girrisnn presented the Y. P.S. C. E report which indicated that there wat a good dul of activity in tht young people of the congregation. Reports were read by the secretary and treasurer, Mr. Mitcell, which showed that Ihe friends of the church,' were all things considered, ia a healthy stilt. Theu te ports along with the estimates were received, discussed, and adopted. The officers for thi year were then ip- Sinted as follows: ���Managers���L. C. tcdoaald, James Reid, C. McLean, T L. Ray, Wm Mitchell, and 0. McKeniie The last two were added this year. James Reid was nude secrrwry, Win Mitchell treasurer, James Addison and Dr. Jeffs auditors, and A. Lindsay janitor. The ushers appointed are "Wm Mitchell, A. Lindsay, D. McKeniie and Mr. Langman Oa niotioa the matting adjourned to mut nur the close of December; u it wis agreed'to make the ecleuiiticil close wiih Ihr calendar year. UUBABT OHAT We think it was Beecker whs said it wu 1 misfortune l*f 1 person of oalv average ability to r&e 00 soma occuioa to the height ef a gnat effort, because a reputation thus established required too great labor to maitwia. It would seem best for one thus mulled to oaly tagage ia literary wotk occasionally and whtn there is ample opportunity for tbe bur possible achievement. The spectacle of falling sun is aot encouraging. It too often khtapi jfcit authors rely upon their repuiati.ojt tfl Seat 1 work with little merit.' Tke'SMt that they can do good mark, ance letnowiedged. by the public; tkiy imagine isill that is needed. But experience scan proves new delusive this view is. There are some authors who never publish anything which does net represent.their, best thoughts and culture, thus ittiring a growing popularity. Tm muck h.iste hu caused many 1 literary tua to stl never to rist again. A great many versifiers rush into print without iny welt grounded idiat of pros, ody. This is doubtless partly owing to thc want ef any reliable work on tke subject. If tbey take Pope at an example they will have little difficulty in following his forms but they will not find a pattern suited tn ill subjects. Tke study of foe will yield much profit, fer although ef erratic genius he took few liberties, con- fining hit verse to regular measure, yet by substitution of equivalents, producing a variety suited to the varying sentiment. We received some verses not long since which thc author strangely thought were correct in metre because be could sing them in a certain air. When we pointed out lhat a certain line in one of the verses did not correspond with itl mate, he quickly overcame the 1 difficulty by repeating the words quickly in onc case and mare slowly in the other so as to make their utterance occupy the ume time. And this galloping through one line and passing through the other on a slow walk, so to speak, did aot strike kirn as at all peculiar. The Union Musical and Dramatic Society will give an entertainment at tha Agricultural hall, Courienay nn the evening of Saturday the 18th inst., and in Cumberland hall, Union, on the evening of Monday, the 27th inst. The entertainment will consist of the presentation of the comedy entitled "The Rough Diamond. I: wili be preceded by 1 first class concert. AM LOUOHXID * 00.

Neither he nor Diego, however, had expressed ��ny surprise at not seeing llouert, am! It appeared as if a sort or tacit agreement kept them away irom El* I en's husband ; but IJobort was too much absorbed by the anxiety which his wlfe�� Mines? caused Mm to pny any attention to their behavior. For a wliolc mouth tlio delirium continued, attended almost every day by ter- riblo fits. Gradually, however, the fever disappeared, but loft tlio patient in a state of extreme weakness* It was a profound torpor, a general prostration. Thnt nature so firm, so energetic, so vorfle, had suddenly disappeared, ami when the convalescence of the body was complete the malady ol the mind continued. Ellen passed whole days without tweaking, holding lier ���son's hand and weeping silently. Summer and a part of autumn passed thus, and Robert could not make up his mind to leave Ids patient for a single day, in spite of liis business interests wliich urgently required his presence. The time was approaching,however, when he would be forced to attend to the disposal of Marys property. Kllen was her sisters heir, nnd however great was Robert's repugnance to occupy himself with question of money, he was about finally to make up his mind to attend tn them, when one morning John Slough brought him tt ran go news. Dlego. Morgan nnd the Moorish servants had left without saying where they were going, and this abrupt disappearance had a remarkable resemblance to a flight, Rumors of this singular departure had spread apace, and creditors had poured in from every quarter. There was no doubt in any one's mind of Diego's utter ruin, nnd this news wns accompanied hy the most insulting remarks. Robert soon learut from a sure source that his sister-in-law's fortune had passed entirely Into her husband's bands, in virtue of documents of which the unfortunate woman had not understood even the meaning. This sad conclusion surprised him Uttle; he had long foreseen it, and soon consoled himself for it. Mary's death bad severed the last tie which bound hlin to Dlego, uud the loss of tho money was nothing to him, for a much more dreadful trial had been re- nerved for him. Kllen had never recovered from the blow wliich the fatal event at Salnt-Oucn had inflicted on her. lier strength diminished day by day, aud her life was gradually flickering out. Robert witnessed, heart-broken, the slow decay of this loved existence, and, ln order to spare his son his share of sorrow, ho Imposed upon himself the frightful torture ol concealing his grief aud ���wallowing his tears. At that timo George was sixteen years old, and ho adored his mother. Misfortune ls handed down like a herb her with kisses. She had still strength tu extend lo each of them u bund, then her head fell back ia a last convulsion. A deep sigh issued from her colorless lips. It was her last. Ellen was dead. Robert's despair was of that nature which finds no expression in words- groat grief ls dumb. It wus his wish that Ellen should rest in the cemetery at Whltstable, and he found strength to take her body to England and pay the last sad duties. Ou Ids return to Paris, crushed with grlel, he found himself face to fuee with min. John Slough, to whom he had entrusted his affairs, had had great difficulty ln saving n few fragments of the fortune left by Disney. Robert was especially anxious to 'keep the cottage in England ln which Ellen had been born, and tho house ln which she had just died in France, He sacrificed his last resources In order to retain possession u' theso two places, wliich were not seized by his creditors, "and he continued to live at Montmartre for the time being. He found a sad charm iu surrounding himself with mournful souvenirs, aud he would willingly have died In the midst of the remains of that past which had faded away in teara. His son bound him to life Ueorgo was nearly eighteen. He hnd just finished his studies, and he showed a decided leaning towards the exnet sciences. He was a tall, handsome youth, und his features recalled in a striking manner tnose of Ellen. His mother's death had imprinted ou his character a touch of melancholy that it uever lost; hut, beneath the exquisite sensibility which he inherited frum her, was concealed a firm and upright mind, and a heart filled with generous instincts. The time had arrived when his future must be thought ol, and the choice of a career could no longer be deferred. Robert himself felt the necessity of working, in order to build up again that fortune which had so suddenly crumbled away. After tho financial disaster which had befallen him in France, England alone olfered him a favorable chance of making a fresh start. He had added to his former knowledge the experience gained during twenty years of work, and It was only to he expected that he would easily find a market for his knowledge In a country where trade at the time was ina most favorable state. He proposed, moreover, to complete George's education ln London, and to take him as a partner in Ids work. So he decided to leave Paris; but on leaving the house where he had spent the happiest days of his life, he could not bear to think of its beiug profaned by strangers. . Ellen's room remained in exactly the same state as on the day ot her death. Robert left tliere the furniture which his wife had used; he had tho fastenings made stronger, shut up the house, whicli from that time forth wore a tomb-like look, and atarted with George for England. The faithful Slough accompanied them, so Robert left no one in France that was dear to him, and he resolved never to return, hut to visit tho dear relics at Montmartre. He would not open the chest where Ellen hnd locked up the proof of Diego's crime. In spite of himself, he ed him to watch ovor what trifling interests he still hud In Whltstable and Paris. A week after their appointment tlie father and son had taken up their posts on board their ship, and the frigate left Spltbead on a splendid spring morning which gave the verdant slopes of the Isle of Wight the warm and many-tinted look of some southern shore; On leaving Old England once again Robert could not help thinking sadly of that day when, twenty years before, he had seen the white cliffs of Dover disappear in the haze. God had taken all those whom he had loved then, and, with tho adored child who remained to him, he was once more about to brave the perils of life. It wns tempting misfortune, and misfortune was not long in coming. Tiie Avenger was a steam frigate, built several years before upon the old system, that is to sny, provided with paddles, and already worn out by numerous voyages. Robert soon saw that they made very Uttle way, and the voyage was a laborious one, for he had to attend to engines which were ln a bad state, and needed frequent repairs. However, he performed his difficult task with success, and his son's skllfulness was particularly appreciated by the captain, a rather rough old sailor whom George's willingness and good nature finally overcame. Robert was proud to see him beloved and sought by the young officers, who appreciated his gentle and communicative gaiety as much as they did liis sound attainments. For his part, he took measures from the very first to live somewhat apart from his companions, and to reserve for himself a few hours of solitude; bat he was on excellent terms with all the officers. The English always pay honor to tho useful professions, even when they are not brilliant, Robert's post was a difficult one, and entailed a heavy responsibility. To tend aud keep in working order tiie Immense muss of machinery which moves a great vessel is one of the most formidable tasks possible, but it is also one of the most attractive. George and his father lind come to love the engines which they con- i trolled, as a man becomes attached to the horse which lie rides every day, and their gloomy work, hidden In the depths of the steamer, had as much charm for them as that on deck and in the rigging had for the ofiicers. Moreover, .the sailing orders which the Avenger received shortly after Joinimr the sonailmn *m-..i�� +i.~i- couid tage, and the poor boy had a sad still doubted such wickedness, and li beginniug to his life.

Tiie summer and autumn were employe*'. in this easy service. During fine weather the Mediterranean is nothing but a magnificent lake, and voyages on it resemble pleasure- trips. The winter brought a little variety to a life which every one began to find monotonous, and the Avenger experienced several storms, which taught Robert the dangers of this sea which is so calm in appearance.

It was, in truth, the birthday ol Spring, For Robert it was the dny of final farewell. Ellen bugged him to scud George away, ana when they were alone sho said, In a voice which waa feeble as a whisper i "Robert, I feel that I am going to leave you, I begnn to die on the day when my sister became the victim of a cruel murder, anil the blow which killed her has smitten mo to tho heart.

If ever George's life were to be threatened by hint who brought mourning and disgrace into our family, make use of this proof, and let the felon be punished. May God alone mete out the chastisement I" Tliese were her last words. Her voice had gradually become feebler; her arms moved as if she would have thrust death away, and a leaden hue spread over her pale face. Robert had fallen on his knees, and George, who had hurried up on , hearing his father's sobs, had thrown himself upon his mother, and covered should adopt a different calling, and ho hoped at thu same time not to bo Separated from him, His studies and his experience enabled him to fulfil the duties ot uu engineer und mechanic, and at tliat time openings were not wanting in England. Not to mention the railways, whioh began to extend their uot-wurk over tho wholo kingdom, navigation by steam hud become enormously developed, and men understanding engines easily found employment. Tho Royal Navy, especially, was at that time recruiting a body of mechanical engineers to whom It offered groat advantages. Now, George had a great tasto for navigation, aud Robert had always loved the sou. He looked out for a berth for his sou and for himself, and, thanks to some old friends of Thomas Disney's who had somo influence at the Admiralty, he obtained tho post of euglueer ou a frigate, with permission to take George as his first hand. The young man, who had Just obtained his diploma, could hardly contain himself for Joy. The name of tho ship was Avenger, und sho wns awaiting at Portsmouth her orders to Join the English squadron in the Mediterranean. Their preparations wero few. Robert had long betore installed his old friend Slough In the cottage; ho con- ; tided to him tho care of It, nndchnrg- l .-.*_...-.. behaved fairly well during the bad weather, although she was heavy and difficult to manage; but the engineers had a great deal of trouble with the engines, wliich frequently got out of order. Several times Robert thought it his duty to Inform the old captain that repairs on land were indispensable, but the old sailor thought that tliey could be deferred. The necessities of tlie service had become urgent, The garrisons were being changed at Malta, and in the Ionian islands, and the Avenger was continually occupied iu going to Gibraltar to fetch men, arms aud money. The captain was a man wlio was too sure of his past experience and too confident of his skill to be stopped by obstacles of secondary Importance. Perhaps, eveu, lie took a certain pride in running some risk in the performance of a task which he looked upon as much beneath his merits. One would have said tbat he preferred to Suit out to sea in weather which would keep other ships In port, and that he took a pleasure in ploughing his way through enormous waves. He soon had au opportunity of satisfying himself. At the beginning of January the Avenger was at anchor at Gibraltar, and was only waiting" to complete a heavy cargo consisting of artillery, ammunition and money for the soldiers' pay. The passengers wero more numerous than usual, for many officers, having obtained leave to go to Naples or Rome, for the Carnival, took advantage of tho voyage of the Avenger in order to make their way to Italy by way or Malta. The weather had been threatening for several days, and it wus probable that at the entrance to the Straits they would moet witli a very heavy sea, for many vessels hnd been forced to put Into the Bay of Altfeslrns. Tlio captain, who wns only too ready to weigh anchor, consulted, notwithstanding, a Maltese pilot whom he had brought With him and who answered for the safety of the trip. The wind, which was blowing from fho West, wus favorable. Tho last of tho cargo havlug been taken on board about G o'clock In the evening, they weighed anchor In order to leave the port before night. Robert had carefully inspected the engines, und, thanks to a few hastily performed repairs, he was In hopes that ull would go well ut least as far as Malta. He could not help feeling anxious, however; but he thought he had paid all debts in full to fate and that misfortune must bo weary of making sport of him. The weather at first was calm. The frigate rolled a gnat deal by reason of the strong west wind; but the breeze was still moderate, and they made good way. About midnight, when the frigate was at the mouth of the Straits, tlie weather -.-hanged. The wind went suddenly round to the northwest aud began to blow a gulf- The engines labored terribly, and Robert thought it prudent to let George rest and to sit up Iu his place. About fl o'clock In the morning an enormous sea struck the ship. Roliert, thrown down by the shock, heard a terrible crash, which he not at firs; understand, but the meaning of which he found out only too soon. The rudder had btion curried away. This was a serious accident���the most serious, perhaps, ol any that can possibly happen at sea. A ship without a rudder is liku a horse without a bridle. From this fatal moment ail ou board the Avenger were rushing to death, without knowing on what coast the wind would drive them. Robert woke his son and went on deck to ask for orders. The sight which he saw was one of those which cuu never be forgotten. Tlie day was breaking, wan aud sickly. It lighted up mournfully u waste of waters of a dirty gray color, which rose like wails on each side of the ship, and rushed past her witb a sinister sound. There "was no sky visible. It was hidden by tlie liquid dust which the furious hea threw up as it broke. No horizon. Nothing but a trough of the sea, iu whleh the frigate rolled heavily. Lashed at his post, the captain was encouraging by voice and gesture those sailors who had not been washed overboard by the terrible mountains of water. Robert made his way towards him, and usked for his orders. The old sailor gave him them, firm, clear and precise, as if the Avenger bad been lu safety at Malta, at author in the Port of Vale tta. In u few words he explained their situation to Robert. It was a terrihle one. Tho northwest wind wns driving the frigate towards the coast of Africa at a fearful speed, and, deprived of her rudder, she was nt the mercy of tho waves. In order to steer her, the captain's ouly hope was In tlie engines, and this hope wns but a feeble one. Hla plan was by holding the ship up to the wind by the aid of the paddles, to endeavor to steer due east. But this manoeuvre, au uncertain one ln any weather, was almost Impossible lo the midst of a tempest and with inferior engines. It had to be tried, however, and Robert went dowu to superintend it. George was waiting for him at his post, his face calm, his look serene, aad the sight of his sou, so confident In the presence of danger, inspired Roliert with a little hope. The whole of that day and the following night were passed in this superhuman struggle against the storm. The frigate kept well out to sea, and did not deviate much from her course, if the wind only abated a little, thoy might still avoid the African coast, und, the sea having become calmer, rig up a steering-gear and gain a safe anchorage, It was tlieir last chance. It speedily disappeared. On the morning of tlm second day the shaft snapped, and the sharp sound of its breaking rang in Roliert's ears liko a death- knell. Nothing could save them now, nothing but a miracle. The furious impulse of tho northwest wind must inevitably drivo tho frigate on the rocks at Kabylie, and tliere tlio natives would finish off those whom the sea spared. Robert went up on deck with George. Their task with the engines was over, sinco they could no longer act; but they could still help the- sailors, who were trying to rig a temporary rudder. Before setting themselves to this work, wliich had become very dangerous, on account of tho waves wliich swept over the ship at every moment, the father and son tenderly embraced one another. They knew that they were about to die, and they knew also that death would not separate them, Towards mid-day tho storm appeared to abate a little, and the wind got back to tlie west. An unlooked- for chance presented itsolf; the Avenger had not yet drifted enough to the south to clear the coast of Africa, and by steering duo east tbey would havo tho open sea belore them, for two days at least. Hopo revived in overy heart, and the captain reanimated tho exhausted crow by his exhortations, For nearly sixty hours neither he nor his officers had left the deck. The day passed, and the ship had not changed her course. She was flying at a terihlo speed before thn wind, with the land ou her starboard (juarter, and although this was tho only courso which could savo the vessel and her crew, many dangers still menaced them. They had not been able to take any observation for two days, and no ono on board knew their exact position. According to tho Captain's opinion tho Avenger was probably at that time passing Bougie, and leaving It about ninety miles to the south; but these calculations could only be approximate. According to the course they wero following they might go to pieces on the Islands of Sardinia or Sicily, or pass by a miracle between the two. It wns a question of life and death, und God niono could determine It. Towards tho evening the wind, although still blowing from tho west, dropped sensibly, and they were able to try and set somo sail. If the night passed without somo catastrophe, rescue was yet possible. Robert hnd told George not to leave hini, and at about nine o'clock at : iiI��;ht the father and son wero together lu the fore part of tlio ship, The second mate who was thore on tho look-out, hud called them to assist him if necessary, Tim aight was very dark, and, In spite of tlie most careful attention, It was difficult to distinguish anything a short distance away. All at once George, whose eyes were lietter than Roliert's, clasped his father's arm and called out to him: " Breakers ! I pee breakers ahead I" In the dense obscurity which enveloped them Robert fancied he could distinguish before him a kind of White belt, nnd he turned to call tbo officer of tho watch, but ho had not time. A terrible concussion shook the frigate, and the masts fell with a crash, An enormous sea lifted the hull and let It fall with violence. The Avenger heeled over on her side, and the stern, torn off by a furious wave, plunged ami disappeared In tlie foam. At the iirst sliock Robert, seizing Georgo by his belt, leapt with him Into tlie netting. Bj Clinging to the cordage of tho bowsprit, ami clasping one (mother tightly, they were able to withstand tin* terrific shock. Wheu tho enormous wave which had dashed them on tne rocks had poured over them like a mill-race, and aa soon tas tie conui get his breath, Robert lookea about him and fancied he could distinguish a few cables' lengths ahead a black mass, Incessantly wash* ed with foam. It was the reel upon Which the Avenger bad struck. Behind him tho shattered deck of the frigate disappeared In tho night. The wreck trembled ns each fresh sea washed over it, but It still kept Itu position. Robert saw that a lucky chance had wedged it firmly between two rocks, and that it would remain there until broken up by the sea. * ��� ��� ��� ��� After their rescue from the Sorelle by Diego's shiver Robert hastily mads up his mind what Us do. To pretend to be the dupe and pro- . fess confidence was tho task he Imposed upon himself. H<' must at any price remain impenetrable. A word, a gesture surprised by one of the scoundrels, was denth for both father und son. It wns necessary, however, to hit upon srtrne moans of escape. Robert thought it pretty certain that a favorable chance would present itself on the coast of Brazil: but. even nMowing that "ho could escape, the problem was only hull-solved. Suddenly nn idea struck him. The Avenger contained treasure within its submerged recesses. The gold that Robert had seen taken on board at Gibraltar was now lying at the bottom of the sea, amongst the dreaded Sorelle rocks. The last fragments of the ship had disappeared beneath the waves, and there was nothing to show what the unfortunuto frigate had perished on this root* Three persons still possessed the secret: Robert, George, and the Irish sailor who had been saved with them; it was possible, moreover, that tlds mnn did not know of the embarkation of these cases of gold, although the contrary was the, more probable. The father and son were thus the sole masters of immense wealth, lawful masters���at least so thought Robert���since without them the Bea would retain its prey. As for the means of getting possession of it, Thomas Disney's pupil wns In no difficulty about snatching n fortune from the waves.

Better than any Insecticide which can lie bought for this purpose is the soot Irom the Htove pipes. Save it carefully, and put ln a dry place. Dust it lightly on the plants before tho bugs show tliem- selvos. Cucumber and melon vine? are apt to dio down qulokly during a drouth, but if Water can li- applied they will keep up tlieir productiveDCBfl for a low; time. Under ordinary conditions and in ordinary tQasona it is fair to sny thnt Irrigation will double their fruiting capacity. Eaves troughs prevent a good deal nf discomfort Dripping roofs are hard <m good Olothes and poor tempers. Mure than thiB, they damage foundations and spoil cellars, and the rooms above become damp and mouldy. They produce havoc with tlio mii mire heaps. too, and rob the farmer of that upon which he fo mueh depends. One of the good U. S. trees is the whito ash, ami It is adapted to a very wide range of territory. Trees twelve years old liavo been known to pay tlie planter $600 or $700 an acre. Land whicli would otherwise be q constant burden of expense can be thus profitably used, though the returns would not be so prompt ns upnn good Roll. Onion Reed must be good; there nre tons of tlie worthless sold every yeur. Plant oarly, for onions will not grow after the weather becomes hot and the soil dry. No frosts nre likely to Injure them after the weather becomes warm enough to start them. A delay of two weeks often means a failure. In growing onions, never allow tbo Kiirfaee of the ground to remain crusted over. Kvery day and week in which thia crust Is allowed to stay, time Is lost which cannot be made up later, as the season is continually becoming loss congenial. Tbey must mature early, or never. Never place manure on your onion ground just before putting out n crop, for tho weed seeds you sow will causo more trouble than tho manure will bring benefit, Take ground which is rich from last year's manuring, and sow a little commercial fertilizer over it, if needed. After it is well started, a scattering of hen manure cannot do harm. Finely crumbled tobacco Is one of the very best of insect destroyers, and an excellent fertilizer as well. Tt will keep the green fly from the lettuce. The young tomato, pepper and egg plants nre soon rid of tbeir lice if freely dusted. It is nlso an enemy most positive to cabbage and currant worms. Dust it, or spray the tea. It will soon lie time to plan for planting potatoes again, and. if we would have n generous crop, wo must do nil things wisely. If we would avoid the rot, we mast not plant where diseased potatoes were the former season, T,et only the soundest tubers lie planted, ever. In diversifying our crops, more attention might profitably be, given to tbe growing of barley : its feeding values have lieen most wholly Ignored. Some years ago it was n common food for horses, nnd It mado the host of pork. Tt needs special cultivation, but may lie a good crop for our fields for this very reason. STOCK. Although repeatedly demonstrated that pigs cannot be kept healthy mi concentrated food only, many farmers continue to give them little else during tlie larger portions of tholr llros. I'orn. either ground or un- ground. is too solid and compact a food when unmixed with other materials, nud cannot lie thoroughly digested. Pigs kept In pens, so tliat they nro unable to forage lor themselves. should bo fed green clover or ensilage; this is alterative and relaxing, gives bulk and lightness to the othor food, and furnishes no little proportion of the muscle-forming material. Hoots, or hny steamed and mixed with bran, is a good substitute. The Polnnd China has the necessary Miialities to bring success In swine* breeding. If the man is of the right breed. The breed of tin' one is of-as much Importance as that of tlio other: but tills breed of hogs Is not essential, Tor there nre others whleh pos��oag as good nun titles and will yield as large profits. A good breed of pigs must consume, digest und assimilate a great amount of Tood and convert this Into paying pork, and It is necessary to see that, the nig hn-s plenty of the- right nourishment. Rometimes this high feeding affects the constitution of the animals, nnd it becomes necessary to select a hardy, cinluii.ng variety. The sire iihiinlly gives the feeding capacity to the young. The animals should attain some size before they nre selected for breeders. They will show their merits nt about six months. . 'I'he sire should bo heavy boned, strong, well hni red, have a round belly and a long body, and should stand up well. There Is more leisure right now to make ber* hives than when some one nf tho family eoines shouting thnt the bees are swarming . ���V.een will go to work In any kind of a box or keg, but in such they are not duly protected from their enemies. If they have no house they bravely take to the woods. As the pare breeds of stock are the chief maintenance of tlie European farmer against cheap foreign competition, so too, nre these pure breeds e-sentinl to onr farmers these times, to make the farm and stock breeding pay. "When scrubs no lontrer pny Tor their food the Improved breed-; give the quality which does pay. Th(j bulk of farmers neglect the profit from bees. There Is no over production of either wax or honey, and a "good article always finds ready sale at a good price; and the food ol bees is supplied lavishly by nature, and goes to waste unless liar- ve-ted uud utilized by them. In cattle, age largely determines the rate ui gala, and the ration required to sustain tho gain increases* with age in proportion to tbe weight of the animal. Heavy weights are often tsu&tuined at such cubt as to destroy all profit whioh might have been mude hau the animal been tuld when y��uinger. The only safe way to feed cattle is hv a method which will let one know periodically if the gain made Is in proportion to thc food consumed. ������Kxuct methods" and "science with practice" should lie tbe motto upou every farm, und taught to every farmer (schoolboy lu the land. There U no longer a question about "book farming" paying. DAIRY. When a heifer first Comes to her miik the milk glands are undeveloped, ami need good care to produce an abundant and prolonged flow of milk. Seo that every drop of milk Is drawn. Knead the udder If there are any hard lumps iu It, bathing often with warm water, if necessary. If Intended fur the dairy, never allow thc calf to run with her. If possible, liavo the heifers come in nfter tho grass lias started, as It will help materially la securing a good ���/low of milk. It Is better not to breed for her second calf Tor several months, for thus tlie youug and promising heifer may lie ruined, with her energies directed to tlie growing calf she is carrying, for ber milk functions will suffer. A Hoard's Dairyman correspondent concludes that turnips fed to cows while being milked taint the miik, but Llie taint is from the cow'a warm breath; but if fed after milking there is no toatut in either milk, cream or butter, aillk'ta often tainted in uncleanly stables, and is il ficquent cause uf poor butter. Where the pastures nre rough, or where iced uud fodder are generally rough, no other breed of cattle will give better returns than the Ayr- shires. They are tough and hardy, hearty feeders, aud not at all dainty. Tliey eat what is at hand, aud lie down and digest it, while the more dainty animal would grow poor hunting abuut tor something move to her liking. Half blood Jerseys usually please tlie farmer ; but iu " grading up" his herd grows poorer. Somo 01 the offspring incline toward milk giving aud some away from it, and some of the higher grades aro inferior to the lower. Ho does not like to sacrifice these, aud his milkers retrograde. .Selection should be positive ; save the few. HOETICULTDRE. . With the small farmer it Is sometime.-- a question how to get* money out oi thu orchard as souai as possible. H does uo harm to grow crops among your trees. Fur the first, try potatoes, manuring liberally and adding an extra dose of ualeached ashes. Tlm trees will tell you whoa you have planted potatoes long enough; so will the potatoes. No matter bow good tho treatment of the young heifer in other respects, site cannot be developed into a good dairy cow Unless sho Is well fed. The ration should he ouo well intended to enable her to give tho largest flow of milk, Tlds is of more importance thun with the cow wliich has had lier habits reasonably well CKtab- 1 is lied. Because of tho long* transportation, the. Australian butter package Ls a box 9 by 15 inches lined with parchment paper, aud the butter is salted for use. This solid butter brick is sprayed all over witli a solution of borax, then wrapped up and nailed air tight. Kven will) our refrigerator system, wo must make improvement over our present butter tubs. Australian butter will keep for from six to twelvo months; as good on the outside as on the inside, and ever sells at tho highest market price. Their square box takes less room In shipping, which Is an Item In export; and tliere can bo no question but that an attractive package sells tho butter. Palpitation nf tlte Heart Defined. Palpitation of tho heart is perhaps the most common symptom of heart disease, nnd is defined as pulsations that are perceived by the patient, it comes on in paroxysms, with intervals of more or less freedom from attack. The h^nrt may begin to beat violently; It may pound against the walls of tho chest; tho vessels may throb ln the nock ; the eyes become suffused, nnd tho head ache; ors on the other hand, tbo heart urny"" be very rapid and very feeble, so that tho pulse may onnslst only of a scries of rapid and almost Impalpable waves. Those suffering from palpitation 01 fluttering of the heart should not delay treatment a single hour. I'r.

I'luk Dills for l'ale People havo so often been published Iu the columns of this paper that they un; widely known to tho residents of Norfolk County, and It Is us widely conceded that tliey havo brought Joy Into more than one household, and their merits are spoken of only in words of praise. In this instance the (acts are brought directly home to the residents or Sim- coo, a gentleman who Is glad to testify to tho benefit ho lias received from the uso of theso pills being a resident of this town. Mr. William Elwood, sen., a resident of Sinicoo for about two yoars, and for years a resident of Fort Erie, a carpenter by trade, is loud In his praise of the benefits ho derived from the use of I'ills. In an interview with Mr. Elwoodt tliat gentleman told tho Reformer thnt about eight years ago ho was attacked With uiccruted catarrh of the head and throat, nnd was obliged to quit work, and since that time lias not beon ablo to resume his calling. The disease, shortly after he was taken ill, developed Into neuralgia of the lower limbs, from whicli be suffered terrible agony. During his long illness the services of specialists in both Toronto nnd Buffalo, ns well as those of local physicians, both In his former homo and Simcoe, wore called Into requisition, but nil to no purpose. So bad did he liocomo, nud "^ AA;: " Was Unable to Walk Around." so great were tho pains that Bhot through his limbs, that at times Mr. Elwood had to lio held down ou bis couch. ��� His stomach and bowels were seriously affected, ana ho was indeed in a. deplorable condition. About a year ago he lost the uso of his left foot and ankle, nnd was unable to walk around hie home without great difficulty. At ouo time Mr. El wood wns possessed of a good home, but so long was ho ill that he spent all his property in the hope of regaining his health. Lost fall Mr. Elwood commenced taking I'ink I'ills and shortly after he began to feci an improvement in his condition. He continued the use of tho pills until lie bad taken thirteen boxes, when he regained the use of his foot nnd ankle, aud thought he was about cured and discontinued their use. So long bad bo been a sufferer, however, tliat it was Impossible for him to become convalescent iu so short a time. An attack of the grip again brought on the disease, but not by any means so terrible as formerly. Mr. Elwood again commenced taking the pills, and Is fast regaining his former health, and leels certain that the I'ink Pills will exterminate all traces of disease from his system. Ho feels so gratified at what the pills havo done for him that he gladly gave tho Information to the Reformer for publication, In the hope that his experience muy be a benefit to some other sufferer. Dr. ���Williams' Pink Dills strike at tho root of tho disease, driving it from the system nnd restoring tho patient to health nnd strength.

It is proposed to conquer tlio Soudan, province by province. Dongoia will bo first taken, nnd then a great deal will depend upon circumstances. * While the campaign Is endorsed by the Unionists, tho Liberals and Radical press loudly protest against it. A despatch to thoifilobe from Cairo' says that the fast of Ramadan ends to-morrow, and it .[a thought there, thc dervishes will'cause trouble and march northwards. , The despatch adds that much anxiety is felt in official circles, and that tne military authoritlees havo been in consultation nil day long.

Experienced African authorities ptate. that tlie news of tho expedition" will luclfto semi-burhnrlc forens everywhere. Perhaps even in Inrtirt It will bo vastly exaggerated ns the intelligence Is disseminated among them. Tho Khalifa himself Is described by Slatta Paslia nnd the lnte Major Wlugate as a man who, In point of vigor, will, courage aad pow_y of inspiring; tlie deBort people with fnntlcism, is a worthy successor'to the Into Mahdl, who died In Jtttie,'iSStf?

He took caro to have a proclamation issued by- tho Mahdl which practically assured succession-to himself. There are -i-,600' British troops In Egypt, and Sir Horatio Herbert Hichener, sirdar of the Egyptian army, will probably bo In general command. Ho was Gdveiuor-Genernl Of the Red Hea littoral In 1880-1888, and Adjutaut-Goneral to the Egyptian army from 1888 to 1892, whon ho received his present command. Ho is only In bis forty-sixth yeur. General Knowles. who is In command nf the British troops, is a maa of 01, who, whon quite a lad, fought In tho Crimea, and was in the trenches boforo Sevastopol, Cairo cable: The advance of the British-Egyptian troops from Wady-Halfa Up tho Nile upon Dongoia will bo commenced without do- lay, according to statements mtfdo In semi-official circles here. Tho British-Egyptian troops under orders to proceed up the Nile In the direction of Dongoia Will consist of 8,000 mon. All will carry arms. The route wliich will be followed Is this: There is a railway as far as (iirgh, 840 miles from Cairo. Then to Wady-Halfa. a distance of 250 miles further, there Is no obstacle to Nile navigation, but the remaining 250 miles to Dongoia present Immense difficultly. Th.o,t portion of tho river which lies between Wudy�� Haifa and Tsnklrmatta, a distance of 109 miles, is the worst part, five serious cataracts having tt) be encountered with a succession of rapids and rocks. ' r There is much rejoicing In the British army at the prospect of another campaign In the Soudan, In spite of tlte past experiences with the fierce, tireless troops of thc Mahdl, and the recent defeat of the Ttallnns by the Abysslnlans. Th/tt a British-Egyptian advance up tlie>��ftjp from "Wady-Halfa on Dongoia hn^ boon determined upon is no longer a question I" doubt. All tho British officers of the Egyptian army who have heen absent on leave havo been ordered to- return,, tothelr posts immediately, and a ihisjinteh from Cairo announces that the Connaught Hangers have already horn or- dored to "Wady-Ilalfa. MENELBK AND HUMBERT. * Rome cable: A despatch from Massowah says: The Nogua has reviewed 100,000 of ids troops la the presence of Major Salsa, the Itatta'h officer who Is treating for peace with the Abysslnlans. The troops marched in good order, and were well armed. The Negus showed Major Salsa Ids quantities of provisions, tho Italians having some timo ago been undor tho belief that the Abysslnlans were short of supplies. In fact, It is Baid tliat this was one ot the reasons that prompted Gen. Baratlerl to make his disastrous advance upon Tigre. , The Tritmmi says that the proposals of the Abyssinian King, Mone- lek, for ponce with Italy, Include a demand that King Humbert send him an autograph letter Requesting peace, and agreeing 'to the Immediate evacuation of Adlgrnt by the Italians. '��� King Menelck, the paper enys, further insists ou tho withdrawal of Italy's forces to the frontiers fixed in tlie treaty concluded by Ucclll, and an .agreement on "the part ol Italy to refrain from erecting new fortresses and to decline all offers of an alliance from an outside colony. King Menelek, the Tribune aays, promises If tliese conditions are compiled with to undertake to oppose JSw __i any advance by the.dervishes on Kas- sala. The Government has sent a despatch to Gen. Baidiss��ra, commanding tlie Italian troopa in; Afrjca, stating thnt no discussion* i* possible on' the proposals. London cable says: The greatest possible interest Was manifested" in the House of Commons to-day, when the Liberal leader. Sir William Ilar- c'odrt put ids question to the Government regarding thu proposed;* ud- Tance ol British-Egyptian troops up the Nile from Wady-Haffa, and when the Under-Secretary of state for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geo. N. Curzon, roso to reply, Jho attention of the whole House was Immediately centred upon his utterances. Mr. Cimon's answer was ia the shape of a loug and evidently carefully prepar*"l Statement, during which he pointed out the threatening dervish advances, and their danger to Egypt, and Intimated that the movement of Egyptian "troops arose partly from a desire to aid Italy la her struggle with the Abysslnlans. Continuing, Mr. Curzon snid the Government was sure that all the subjects of Her Majesty would have the most sincere sympathy for Italy In the rererse which tho latter's arms had suffered in Africa, and he expressed regret at the defeat, of General Bflratlerl at the battle of Adown. This statement brought forth loud Nationalist cries of "No." Mr. Curzon, however, replied that the courage, ot the Italians led to the hope that they would urlse from their reverses and vlndicato the honor of their flag. Mr. Cjurzon then said: " At the present moment influences nre at work and forces are unchained In "Central Afriea.-whiclv if flushed with victory ami swollen by a perfectly possible combination of forces, would constitute a most fjcrlotis danger not merely to Itaily,' Egypt, or the British occupation of Egypt, but to the cause of Eur.ope, wldch is the cause of civilization.' * Through Mr. Curzon's speech tlie Irish interjected cries of "Oh " and when Mr. T. M. Healy, among others', cried "Nol" to the Under-Secretary's expression of sympathy with Italy, and Mr. Healy's followers cheered, the speaker paused for an instant, .and continued, "A sympathy which la not broken by a few-dissentient voices nt a misfortune which has befallen a nation of gallq.pt soldier's and staunch allies." (Great cheering.) .Continuing, Mr. Curzon sa^d that the GovernnicuJ; had for some time been aware of 'tlio threatened advance of a large force of Dervlfches.* The fad- Vance threatened three��*wldely objective points, among the'm Dongoia. The Government had boe.u lu possession of this Information since the eud of February. The immediate objective point of the Dervishes was, perhaps Knssnla, blit there was an ultimate danger, the resi.lt of which could not fall to react upon Egypt. The Information which had reached the Government had caused . considerable anxiety, he said, which had deepened "since the report: of the disaster to :tho Italians in Abiysfelnla. Not only-were the Italian'forties there In difficulties; but Kafisala *tsei! is threatened by a force uf Dervlnhos estimated to be .'100,000 strong. The: Government, Mr. Curzon said, had beeu In constant communication with the Government of Egypt, and the opinion of the military authorities both Iier6 and in Cairo was that an advance tip thc Nile i-s nocessarry.. Consequently and advance of. I the British troops had' been' ordered to at town one-third of the distance between Wady-Halfa and Dongoia, and it mny ultimately be made to Dongoia. Referring to the report that the expedition was primarily destined for Dongoia, Mr. Curzon said the future actions of the Government must be regulated by considerations not merely of military' Importance, but ot political and financial moment aw well. The Government was convinced that the steps which It had decided upon woult!" net as a diversion for tho relief of Kaesnla, and also save Egypt from a menace which, If left alone, would grow- to formidable dimensions, MR. LABOUCIIEUE OBJECTS. Mr. LubouChere, member for Northampton, iu moving to adjourn the lions*, of Commons In. order,to discuss the proposed attack on Dongoia, complained of the .hypocrisy of tho British policy, and' claimed that financiers were the root of the whole business. Continuing Mr. Lnboueherc quoted from a blue book tfie conversation whicli Mr, Gladstone had with the French Ambassador, in wliich tho English statesman declared that Great Britain would uever attempt to. ro-OLCupy Dongoia. The result of the preaent policy of the Government, afcdordlng to tha. mendier for .Northampton, would tw that the great powers would unite and Insist upon Groat Britain fulflilnig her pledges. ��*>lr Charles Dilke, member (or the Forest of Dean division of Gloucester, supported tho motion to adjourtii and in oo doing said that the liritish po- i Icy would strain Great Britain's ro- | latlons with tho powers for years, Dongoia, lie pointed,out, was"-not in the dlractlcto of Kn'ssala, but la . the .'direction of Khartoum. ' , SIR WlLLlAM'UARCOURT. Sir Wildam Vernon ILircourt, the Liberal leaner la the House, io lowed Sir Charles Dilke. Ilo said t|iat if this was tlio first step of a forward policy in Egypt it was of a most perilous character and deserved Sojenuous opposition,* ��� There was a grdat party in England which learned nothing from experience, and which was always eager for the extension of the empire, which was already large enough to please the most inordinate ambition. ��� He would not in the meantime assume that there was any intention on tka part of, tjio Government to give the mbvemeut up the Nile a significance beyond Mr. Curzou's statement. He asked the House to noto tluit the Government repudiated any intention to occupy the Soudan. Tho House was bound to assume that this was a small movement for military purposes to moet a temporary occasion. He hoped there would be an early' opportunity to discuss tho matter in its larger liearlngs, when the whole policy of the occupation of Egypt was considered. '���# MR. BALFOUR. Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, Government leader In the House, said that all the Government could state at present .was jjhaf the advance*must be made. It would be.premature" to discuss the further movements intended. Mr. Labouchere, he added, seemed tn rejoice at the defeat of Italy. That, Mr. Balfour continued, wus certainly not the view of a single man on the Government side of the House.nor was it the view of a majority on the opposite Bide, nor of tho English people. Even the nations.of Europe, whose policy was most divergent from that of Italy, expressed, sympathy for the Italians in the r reverses. ;Mr. Labouchere alto rejoiced because.of the resurgence of Makdlsm, Ha;d the world ever seen a more cruel or worse rule? Ho couid not Conceive a change moro for the benefit of the Soudan thnn that the country should' be transformed to a government act- lag under English Influence. Nothing certainly would more conduce-to .the welfare and prosperity pi the Soudanese than replacing brulTi. anarchy by regular laws. The Gavefnp,tyit#hQj no. reason to believe that any great ' power would object to tiie expedition. certainly those powers favorable to Italy would not object, nnd /iny other power that was desirous that Egypt sliould remain prosperous end secure would not regret tlie step the Government had taken. Tho Government did not dream or extending the conquest to Darrur. That was a nightmare, a creation of Sir Charles DllkWs imagination. The rumor of a British advance would Bpread with lightning- like rapidity In the Mahdlst regions, There could be nc better diversion In favor of the Italians, even if. the expedition went no further than Aka- ahn, cne-thlrd of the way to Do ngo a. John Redmond, member for Waterford city, and one of the Parhelltte leaders, said that If the expedition met with n misfortune'similar to that' which, had befallen the Italians, the news would be received witli satisfaction by the greater number of the Irish members of the House. �������� ��� * Tlie motion was eventually rejected by a vfate of 268 to 126. Akasha, tne town referred "to��� 'by' Mr. Curzon and.Mr.. Balfour, is* tho point south of Wady Haifa which It is tlie present Intention of the Government to make the terminus of a railway from Wady Haifa; Fart ol a dine is still In existence; but it has not been used since the evacuation of DongoUi in 1885.

It Is reported from Cairo tliat Sir HjOratlo Kitchener,' sirdar la the Egyptian army, will . bo iu general command. General Horatio Herbert Kitchener, C. B., C, Mil G., Aiue-de-Camp to the Queen, obtained his commission as lieutenant in 1871. , In 1874 ho Joined tlje oiirvey of Western Palestine under Major Condor.'

A veritable tittle state, Inhabited and governed almost entirely by women, exists in the i'roviuce of Smolensk, lu, Western Uutitral Ru-v-fla. It .is ubout ftftedti vereta ior ton miles) Btjunrs and contains a large number ���oi populous rilmguSi and the region is one ot tho mora fertile in the Czar s ���ctoumms,'*sajti u writer lu tho Now Jfcrk Worid. In that part ol Russia it is Called the, 'woinun'B kingdom,' because the male population, almost tu a man, ^migrates en masse each springtime to Mu*.cmv and the other great citi.es hot inr distant, In search of employment, for the summer season is the busiest one in these Russian towns. During <Aio warm weather fairs are held nnd commerce is at Its height. The men are therefore enabled to find wo(k at such wages tliat they can return to their rura; homes In the autumn with a greater store of rubles than tliej could have accumulated from tiding the soil. Tho women are btrong anil hardy, and, bn hit; left alone, till the fields, harvest the crops antl do other work which ordinarily belongs to masculine husbandmen. Some dress In short skirts, but a lew of them, to secure greater freedom of movement, put on male attire, and the casual traveller through the province is unable, seeing thtun at work in the fields, to distinguish their sex. In largo house-, hpjds the Jjoung girls attend to the ordinary feminine tasks of preparing meals, sewing, buttermaklng, and the like, but they are generally eager to begin tlie outdoor work of thoir older sisters 'tin soon as they are able. The inof-jt remarkable feature of this " women's kingdom." however, ls that the government of the ynrious villages is entirely in the bauds of the sisters, wives and mothers of the absent men, and remains so, In many cases, even after tiie men have returned. Each town has Its "lady mqypross," who presides at all meetings of. tlie. village council, whose members ard' likewise women. Questions of public Interest nre debated and decided upon as'In other legislative assemblies, and there Is no more Jealousy and ��� bickering than Is ordinarily-tl^e-case wheu the legislative body Is composed of men. Perhaps this Is largely due to the fact that, *, the ;.months of outdoor labor give the women strong nerves, ns well as strong bodies, for among them 'it Is considered a disgrace to Indulge In tears or hysterics if anything goes amiss. -"The political nnd financial condition of tho *' women's kingdom" Is OB flourishing as that of any province in tho empire. It is a curious fact that Iq most other provinces throughout Russia tliere Is said to be bribery nnd corruption on every hand, and a public pfflce is considered a legitimate eouree of plunder. But ambng these women " purity In politics" Is the rule. The female tax gathers are never guilty of extortion and the imposts which government levies are paid cheerfully and exactly.

Once upon a time there lived u cruel Old Tartar in a splendid castfe. Sis shaggy beard was as blue as the sky. He lived alone and his neighbors were afraid of him. because they had heard nwful stories about Ids cruelty. On the opposite side of thq plain from old blue Beard's custlo there lived a widow with two beautiful daughters. Ono day old Blue Beard sent them an invitation to come and visit.him ut his wonderful castle. So, dressing themselves in their .gayest clothes, they rode to the castle .and were received In great sty-le. The ladies were very much pleased with Blue Beard, und after that they called frequently. Aftor a time he offered to marry the youngest daughter, who straightway accepted him. They had a merry wedding; and for a time the young bride was-as happy as any queen. But one day her husband called hCr to him and said: "My dear, I am going away. I shall not be long, but I want'to leavo theso keys of the castle with you. Now, mind, if you value my love, do not enter the Blue Chamber. Farewell, Fatjiua! Remember I" ' Fatinia promised him she would nht go near the Blue Chamber, and then she went with her sister Ann to show her over thc cas&ie. When they had finished the tour ' she began to think about the forbidden chamber. But, Woman-like, of course, the more she thought nbout it the more curious ' sho became. Aftor a time she-left her sister with some excuse und stnrte.l for the Bine Chamber. She paused a'minute at the door and then opened it and walked bravely in. And what do you suppose gjie saw V There lying side by side with their beautiful bends cut from their lifeless Iwdies were the former wives of Blue Board. Fatlma wuh ho* horrified that she nlmost fainted. In her fright she dropped the key. but picking It up Rho hurried away. Half-wayvdowu tlw stairs sho met Bluo Beard returning. Taking her keys, he noticed tho blood stain on one of them.. " Mighty well, madame, mighty well," he said. " What does this little Mood stain moan? You've broken your promise, and now you may prepare to die like tho rest of my faith less wives."
