HIS dilution aeems
to be drams t lo .
The Bible more
than once makee
such a 11 n stone.
Paul says: "We
are madn a theater
or spectacle to an
gels and to men."
It la evident from
the text that some
of the habits of
theater-goers were known In Job’s
time, because he describes an actor
hissed off the stage. The Imper
sonator come on the boards and,
either through lack of study of the part
he is to take or Inaptneas or other
Incapacity, the audience Is offended,
and expresses Its disapprobation and
disgust by hissing. “Men shall clap
their hands at him and shall hiss him
out of his place.”
My text suggests that each one of
na Is put on the stage of this world to
take some part. Wbat hardship and
suffering and discipline great actors
have undergone year after year that
they might be perfected In their parts,
you have often read. But we. put on
the stage of this life to represent
charity and faith and humility and
helpfulness—what little preparation wo
have made, although we havo three
galleries of spectators, earth, heaven
•nd hell! Have we not been more at
tentive to tho part taken by other*
than to the part taken by ourselves,
•nd, while we needed to be looking at

duty, ws have been criticising the other
performers, and saying, "that was too
blgb," or “too low," or "too feeble," or
"too extravagant," or "too tarns,” or
"too demonstrative,” while ws our
selves were mak'ng a dead failure and
preparing to be Ignomlnlously hissed
off the stage? Each one Is assigned
B place; no supernumeraries hanging
around the drama of life to take this
or that or the other part, as they may
bo called upon. No one can take our
place. We can take no other place.
Neither can we put off our
oharacter; no change of apparel can
make us anyone else than that which
we eternally are.
Many make a failure or their part in
the drama of life through dissipation.
They have enough intellectual equip
ment and good address and geniality
unbounded. But they have a wine
closet that contains all the forces for
their social and business and moral
overthrow. 80 far back as ths year
959, King Edgar of England made a
law that the drinking cups should
have pins fastened at a certain point
In the side, so that the Indulger might
bo reminded to stop before be got to
the bottom. But there are no pins
projecting from the sides of the mod
ern wine cup or beer mug, and the first
point at which millions stop Is at the
gravelly bottom of their own grave.
Dr. Sax, of France, has discovered
something which all drinkers ought to
know. He has found out that alcohol,
In every shape, whether of wine or
brandy or beer, contains parastlttc life
called bacillus potumanlac. By a
powerful mlcroscppe these living things
are discovered, and when you take
strong drink you take them into the
stomach and then Into your blood, and,
getting Into the crimson canals of life,
they go Into every tissue of your body,
and your entire organism Is taken pos
session of by these noxious lnfln
iteilmals. When In delirium tremens
a man secs every form of reptilian life.
It seems It is only these parasites of
the brain In exaggerated size It Is
not a hallucination that the victim Is
suffering from. He only sees in the
room what is actually crawling and
rioting In his own brain. Every time
you take strong drink you swallow
these maggots, and every time the Im
biber of alcohol in any thape feels ver
tigo or rheumatism or hausen It ia.only
the Jubilee of these maggots. KfTorts
are being made for the discovery ol
some germicide that can kill the para
sites of alcoholism, but the only thing
that will ever extirpate them Is ab
stinence from alcohol and teetotal ab
attnence. to which i would before God
■wear all these young men and old.

Mauy also make a failure la ths
drama of Ilfs through ladoleace. They
are always making calculations how lit
tle they can do for the compensation
they get Thera are mors lasy min
isters, lawyers, doctors, merchants,
artists and farmers than have ever
been counted upon. Ths community Is
full of laggards and shirkers. I can
tell It from‘the way they crawl along
the street, from their tardiness In meet
ing engagements, from the lethargies
that seem to bang to the foot when
they lift It, to the hand when they put
It out, to the words when they speak.
Two young men In a store. In the
morning one goes to his post the last
minute or one minute behind. The
other Is ten minutes before the time
and has bis hat and coat hung up, and
Is at Ms post waiting for duly. The
one Is ever and anon, In the afternoon,
looking at his watch to see If It Is not
most time to shut up. The other stays
half an hour after he might go, and
when asked why, aaya he wanted to
look over some entries he had made
to be sure he waa right, or to put up
some goods that had hern left out of
place. The one Is very touchy about
doing work not exactly belonging to
him. The other la glad to help the
other clerks In their work. The first
will be a prolonged nothing, and he
will be poorer at sixty years of age
than at twenty. The other will be a
merchant prince, Indolence Is the
cause of more failures In all occupa
tions than you have ever suspected.
People are too lazy to do what they
can do, and want to undertake that
which they cannot do. In the drama of
life they don’t want to be a common
aoldler carrying a halberd across the
stage, or a falconer, or a mere attend

.something great. After a while, by
some accident of prosperity or circum
stances, they Ret Into the place
for which they have no quallBcatlon.
And very soon, If the man be a
merchant, he la going around asking
his creditors to compromise for ten
cents on the dollar. Or, If a clergy
man, he la making tirades against the
ingratitude of churches. Or, if an at
torney, by unskilled management he
loses a case by which widows and or
phans are robbed of their portion. Or,
If a physician, he by malpractice gives
hie patient rapid transit from this
world to the next. Our Incompetent
friend would have made a passable
hone doctor, but he wanted to be pro
fessor of anatomy In a university. He
could have told enough confectionery
to have supported his family, but he
wanted to have a sugar refinery like
the Havemeyers. He could have
mended shoes, but be wanted to amend
the Constitution of the United States.
Towards the end of life these people
are out of patience, out of money, out
of friends, out of everything. They go
to the poor-house, or keep out of It
by running In debt to all the grocery
and dry goods atoreA that will trust
them. People begin to wonder when
the curtain will drop on the scene.
After a while, leaving nothing but
their compliments to pay doctor, under
taker, and Gabriel Orubb, the grave
digger, they disappear. Exeunt! Hiss
ed off the stage.
Others fall In the drama of life
through demonstrated selfishness. They
make all the rivers empty Into their
eea, all the roads of emolument end at
their door, and they gather all the
plumes of honor for their brow. They
help no one, encourage no one, rescue
no one. “How big a pile of money
can I get?” and "How much of the
world can I absorb?” are the chief ques
tions. They feel about the common
people as the Turks felt towards the
Asaphl, or common soldiers, con
ttu*m nf nn iiKP PYrr-nf fit fill mi
the ditches with their dead bodies
while the other troops walked over
them to take the fort. After a while
this prince of worldly success is sick.
The only Interest" roelpty has In

sible decease may have on the money
markets. After awhile he dies. Great

Now, compare some of these goings
out of life with the departure of men
and women, who, In the drama of life,
take the part that God assigned them
and then went away honored of men
and applauded of the Ix>rd Almighty. It
is about fifty years ago that in a com
paratively small apartment of the city a
newly married pair set up a homo. The
IIIPI liimcu w um»s ivmwkmvd »»»n
the Lord Jesus Christ, and the BIblo
given tho bride on tho day of her
espousal was the guide of that house
hold. Days of sunshine were followed
by days of shadow. Did you ever
know a home that for fifty years had
no vicissitude? The young woman
who left her father's house for her
young husband’s home started out with
a parental benediction and good advice
sbo will never forget. Her mother said
to her the duy before the marriage:
"Now, my child, you are going away
from tis. Of course, as long as your
father and I live you can feel that you
can come to us at any time. But your
home will be elsewhere. From long
experience I find It best to serve Ood. It
Is very bright for you now,my child,and
you may think you can get along with
out religion, but the day will come when
you will want Ood, and my advice Is,
establish a family altar, and, If need be,
conduct the worship yourself." The
counsel was taken, und the young wife
consecrated every room In the hou.se to
Ood.

NUMBER of ex
periments in corn
growing have been
carried on at the
station for three
consecutive years.
Rome of the more
Important points
brought out In the
trials are summar
ized below:
1. Golden Beauty
gave the highest average yield, 67.4
bushels per acre, of the varieties tested
three years, followed by Learning with
an average yield of 66.8 bushels. Both
of these varieties are medium maturing
yellow dents. Pisa King, Halnt Charles
White and Chester County Mammoth,
all requiring 130 days or more for ma
turity, were the best of the white va
rieties tested.
2. An Increase of nineteen bushels
per acre, or 61.7 per cent, was secured
In 1891 from an application of ten tons
of fresh barnyard munure to the acre
on tho average of eight manured and
unmanured plots. This amount of
manure applied twice In three years
produced an average Increase In yield
of 36.6 per cent. Little difference was
shown In the productiveness of fer
mented and unfermented manures
when applied to corn. Ten tons of
combined solid and liquid manure gave
a larger total yield each year thuu did
ten tons of solid manure, although In
1891 more corn crown on the plot
to which the solid manure was applied.
Horse manure proved more productive
each year than did an equal weight of
cattle manure, the average difference
for the three years amounting to 7.4
per cent. In 1891 the Increased yield
of com was 6.6 bushels per acre, or 11
per cent. Decidedly larger yields were
obtained from plowing cattle manure
under for com than from either spread
ing it on freshly plowed land and har
rowing it In or applying it to the sur
face after the land was ready to be
plunted.
3. Breaking the ground to a depth
of four and one-half Inches gave uni
formly better results than were ob
tained from plowing nine Inches deep.
Tile-drained land plowed to a depth of
eight inches and subsolled seven inches
deeper, stirring the soil to the depth of
fifteen Inches, produced slightly smaller
yields of rutabagas, corn and sugar
beets than did similar soil not sub
soiled.
4. Averaging the three years’ work,
when corn was planted in hills three
feet nine Inches apart each way, the
yield increased as the number of stalks
In the bill Increased. Two stalks per
hill gave fifty-four bushels per acre,
while three stalks produced under
otherwise similar circumstances, 67.7
bushels. Where four stalks were
left the yield was fifty-eight bush
els. The large proportion of un
merchantable ears or "nubbins” pro
duced, and the increased cost of husk
ing from four stalks per hill, however,
more than counterbalanced the Increase
in yield obtained. Barring excessively
dry seasons, these experiments Indicate
that on strong land this thick planting
would be profitable when the’foddcr la
to be fed without husking. On poor
land the larger yield, thirty-six busheli
per acre, was obtained by thinning tc
two stalks per hill, three feet nine
inchea each way. On this land four
stalks per bill gave 6.6 bushels per acre
less, and more than half the crop wa>
too small to be marketable. On*
stalk produced within one bushel of a.
much as two stalks on the poor land
and almost every ear was marketable
A single season's trial showed that
when 85 per cent of a perfect stund had
been obtained. It was more profitable
to leave it undisturbed than to elthei
replant the missing hills or replant the
entire field. Ninety-four per cent of t
stand, however, gave 2.2 bushels mor«
per acre than was obtained from 8!
per cent of a stand.
5, Shallow level culture gave th<
largest yield each year. The gain fron
this method ov&r deep tillage range,
from 2.1 to 14.3 bushels per acre, oi
from 4 to 30 per cent. It. 189o nearl)
one-third more corn was produced or
the shallow tilled plots thun on thosi
receiving the ordinary deep tllluge
An average of the results for the threi
years shows a gain of 9.6 bushels pei
a. re or 17.9 per cent.
6. Tile-drainage has not thus fai

lowed to go above these, but are kept
pinched back. Holes are dug next the
poles and some of the offal put in and
covered over. This stands about two
weeks; then, about Decoration day, the
beans are planted. Do not plant them
before that time. Too many fall In
raising lima beans on account of put
ting seed In ground before It gets warm
enough to Insure quick gerifilnatlon. It
will not do In this latitude until near
the first of June. If seed Is not out of
ground in live days, It Is too early. The
varieties planted are King of the Dar
den and Ford's Mammoth Pod. The
latter Is raised the most extensively.
Procure seed of reliable parties, and
when ready to plant, follow rows and
stick two beans In each hill, close to
the pole, with the eye down. Never
drop lima beans like corn, for the roots
start at the eye, and If dropped In any
way, some of them come bottom up,
others never grow at all, and the field
Is uneven all season. A great many hills
never have any beans on, and they will
be all thn way from five days to two.
weeks coming up. If this fish offal can
not be procured, the field must be made
rich with well-rotted stable manure
or pure bone meal, or a fish brand of
commercial fertilizers will give equally
as good results. We never save seed,
but buy seed every spring. If one
wishes to save seed, so many hills must
be set apart and no beans picked from
them, but gathered as the pods ripen
and all small beans discarded. In dry
ing for winter use, they must be gath
ered the same as for market, when the
pods seem filled between the Mans, and
Just as they begin to turn white. If
shrunken between thn beans, they sre
too green. If the pods begin to turn
yellow, the beans are Just a little too
old. They must be gathered twice a
week, and those that are to be mar
keted must bo spread out over night,
as they heat very quickly If left stand

products have depreciated In value for
the last few years, lima beans, cither

Origin of the ( hlnchbug.
A bulletin of the Ohio station
says: Along the west coast It has been
reported from Panama, not far from the
borders of Costa Hicu, Guatemala, Low
er California, and California along the
coast neartfanFrancisco,and In theHac
rumento valley. On the Atlantic und
Gulf coasts It has been reported from
Panama, Tabasco and Mexico at Ori
zaba and In the state of Tumaullpas,
which Is located on the coast near the
mouth of the Kio Grande. Along the
Atlantic It Is known from Florida to
Capo Breton. It seems that a much
more reasonable theory would be to
suppose that tho species originated
either In Panama, or in either the val
ley of the Atruto or the Magdalena
Rivers, of the United State* of Colom
bia, or, perhaps, along the Venezuelan
coast of South America, and that It haa
simply followed the moderately low
lands, which would of necessity he lo
cated In rather close proximity to the
coast, until It reached eastern Texas
and Louisiana, where It not only con
tinued to work Us way eastward on
account of Its maritime nature, but
also pushed Its way northward under
the Inducements offered by a moderate
ly level, slightly elevated country, pro
ducing a grass flora upon which It could
readily sustain Itself, thus long ago
giving It a northward and eastward,
hut at no time a westward spread.

If I can keep them with Just enough
stores to keep breeding going on nicely,
I have vt,y little swarming, even
though the colony he strung and the
weather hot. The same conditions with
i plenty of stores, will increase the

next, nectar from the fields, In plenty,
i and the swarming fever goes up to a

j Many bees, murh brood, abundance
I of nectar, a crowded condition, end hot

a high degree If the ttm« he Muy or
