Something About aa Attractive Pleasure
Trip aad ITow to STake It,
The famous Canadian corporation,
the Richelieu and Ontario Navigation
Company, has Issued a Guide Book, en
titled "Niagara to the Sea," which
may te had by writing to the general
offices of the company, 2SS St. Paul
street, Montreal, Canada, and which
anyone who may be thinking of mak
ing a pleasure trip through Lower
Canada this summer will find it ad
vantageous to consult. The handsoms
aad commodious steamboats of tb3
company traverse a route which for
picturesque beauty and historic Inter
est is not surrassed, Is barely equaled
by any water highway in the world.
Toronto, the western terminus of the
line, a handsome, prosperous, bustling
city, in itself is well worth a visit, is
easily and expeditiously reached .from
Niagara Falls, and from there the sail
across Lake Ontario and down the St.
Lawrence River, past Kingston, Brock
ville, PreEcott and Cornwall and other
well-known places to Montreal and
Quebec is distinguished by a varied
and abiding charm.
The tourist passes among the far
famed Thousand Islands, and, although
he must -not expect to see the best of
them from the deck of the boat, he will
be able to get an idea of the secret of
their singular attractiveness. If the
season Is propitious that Is, during
the months of July and August ne
will experience the peculiar sensation
known only to those who have shot the
Lachlne and the Long Sault Rapid.-?,
and when he reaches Montreal he will
find himself in a city which combine?
many of the graces of the Old World
with all the energetic progresslvcnesa
of the new. Should he continue "li's

conveniences of life, seems to belong

A poor widow, who had. been an-ln-ralid
for eleven years,wa3 entirclyidc
pen'dent .upot her only soncfor support;
AH the home they- had was a plain
hoarding-iicuse, but the sou was kind
4nd attentive, and every night Ve hur
ried from his work to the little room
where she waited for him, and, his sure
return, wish, the little .comforts he
brought her, was the reward cf her
lonely days.
One evening he came late.
The front door opened and shut
softly. His step lagged on the stairs.
He lingered in the entry. The mother
gave one glance at his face as he en
tered the rocrn, and her own turned
white.
"Jack, after what you said this morn
ing, I think you have enlisted!" she
said.
He made no answer, bat covered hl3
face with his hands.
The sick woman tnrncd and leaned
against the wall. She did not reply.
She did not say, "Who will take care
of me?" Her silence was enough.
"All the other fellows are going,"
urged the young man. "I thought 1
ought to go."
"They are hot situated as you are,"
replied the invalid, faintly.
"But they will call me a cowarJ,"
said the boy, passionately.
The same night he was examined and
passed by the regimental surgeon. The
next day the dependent mother was
alone the great wave of the war px
citement had caught her young bread
winner, and made him a recruit.
Whether the decision of this mis
guided boy placed his freedom beyond
recall we do not know; but we do know
that by his act he sacrificed more than
he had any right to sacrifice. UnJc
the present call for troops no mora
than 5 per cent of the able-bodied men
of the country can be accepted, and of
these there are at least four classes al
ways ineligible. Even the terrible
conscription of 1S83 exempted all who
were the sole dependence of relatives at
home. No only son of a dependent
mother, no only son of infirm parents,
no only brother of orphaned children,
.and no father of a motherless young
family was required to show his patri
otism in any other way than by fidel
ity to his domestic duty."
Posted over the regimental bulletin
boards at Camp Townsand, New York,
is this notice:
"No person should volunteer whose
absence from home for two years
would bring misery and distress en any
one dependent upon him."
Ahd the examining surgeons are ex
pected to question every would-be re
cruit in regard to this particular. Such
consideration may not have force at all
recruiting stations; but no foolish
dread cf being called a "coward"
should make It necessary for any young
man to be so questioned.
It is patriotic to "Strike for your al
tars and your fires," but the son, or
brother, or father whose duty calls him
to stay by them is doing this, and doing
It as nobly as one who volunteers for
the war because "all the other fellows
are going."
It is conceivable that the sudden and
swift demands of public defense might
oblige every man for his country's sake
to leave his sick and helpless ones, and
"let the dead bury the dead." But that
time is not yet. Meanwhile let it be
known that the millions unneeded in
the Held who stay to discharge tho
racred ministries of home, and ply the
Industiies never so necessary as in
time of war, are in every sense as truly
patriots as the fighters in the ranks.
Youth's Companion.
The Heat Soldiers.
It Is generally supposed that desper
adoesmen at war with society, and
with whom society is at war make the
best soldiers; but this is an error. Ac
cording to the testimony of all experi
enced officers, mm of bad character,
however brave, physically, are a curse
to, any army. Such men are generally
the prime movers of insubordination
and mutiny, and, If there is any trea
son at work, are pretty svire to be at the
bottom of'it.
Moral courage is as essential In mili

tribute of the depraved and vicious. He
who goes to battle with a clar con
science, confident in the justice of, the
cause for which he risks'his life, and
believing that God is onhi3 side, is the
only true hero. He is net bloodthirsty,
he is not under the domination of a
sanguinary and brutal instinct, but he
is enthusiastic where ardor, is required,
calm and collected in emergencies,
and can hear up cheerfully against re
verses, hardships and privations, under
which the desperado would "wilt

What but moralcourage, born of In
tegrity of purpose and confidence in
heaven, sustained the ragged, half-starved,ill-paid
soldiers of a bankrupt
republic, in their desperate struggle,
with the well-appointed legions of the
enemy, duringnhe darkest hours of the
American revolution? The ice-obstructed
Delaware had not been crossed,
the battles of Trenton and Princeton
had never been fought and won, the
horrors of the winter bivouac at Valley
Forge had never been endured, theMn-
estimable blessing of our national Inde
pendence had never been attained but
for the moral courage and fortitude of
good and true men, at peace with God
and their own consciences.

Men even of the strongest nerves and
the most 'undoubted pluck do not feel
quite comfortable when, for tho first
time, under fire.It is no dishonor o hia
manhood If the heart of the young sol
dier beats "double quick" in his maiden
battle. This feeling soon wears off.
During the war in .the, Crimea the
men in the allied army were often
heard speculating, on the eve of a con

Death Rate "in Battlsv "
o
Of. the fifteen decisive 'battles o! the
world the average death" rate In the
'Jast live of ,thea."(of whfch alone re-
liable -statistics are preserved) was
about 23 per cent, ranging from 20 per
'.cent, the British loss at'Saratoga, to -17
per cent, the loss of the Swedes at Pnl
towa. . Of other. great battles it is diOl;
cult 'to fix. the average . death rate,
though it inay be estimated at about 20
)ercentv The rate's range from 0.9
(the German loss at Sedan I Septcaa-,
,.1890') to 50'per cent, the British
'loss at Bloody Altiucra. As a matter
of fact, things stand very much as they"
used to do, save that the slaughter,
when it does occur, always comes more
quickly. A great battle in which the
quicl:firing guns can be brought into
effective use will probably increase ilie
death rate largely, but that remains
to be proved. General statistics prove
that since the Trojan war, 3.C00 yeart
ago, not a single year has elapsed in
which some war has not caused the
killing of a large number of men;
while it is calculated that all the
world's wars are responsible for the
death of 14,000,000.000 of human beings

Executive Mansion, Washington, Nov
21, 1SG4. Mrs. Bixby,. Boston, Mass!:
Dear Madam I have been shown in the
files of the war department a state
ment of the adjutant general of Massa
chusetts that yon are the mother of five
sons who have died gloriously on the
field of battle. I feci how Weak and
fruitless must be any words of mine
which should attempt to beguile you
from your grief of a loss so overwhelm
ing. But I cannot refrain from tender
ing to you the consolation that may be
found in the thanks cf the republic they
died to save. I pray that our heaven
ly Father may assuage the anguish of
your bereavement, and leave you only
the cherished memory of the loved and
lost, and the solemn pride that must
be yours to have laid so costly a sac
rifice upon the altar of freedom. Youk
very sincerely and respectfully,

Beauty from Old Virginia.
The Baltimore beauties are not all
indigenous to the soil, and now and
then one finds among them a trans
plantation from another state. The
old dominion, for example, lays claim
to Miss Marshall Daniel, an honor
which she Is quite unwilling-to relin
quish. The young lady is allied by
blood to the Marchalis and Daniels of
Virginia, of whom Chief Justice Mar
shall and John W. Daniel arc brilliant
representatives. A few days ago sho
graduated with high honors at Ilollins'
institute, in that state, where she took
the full course. Since then she has had
a succession of successful campaigns
in the winter in the different cities, in
the summer at prominent watering
places. Miss Daniel is petite, with
golden hair and dark eyes. Ilcr com
plexion is a combination of the rose
ahd lily, and hor smile discloses a net
cf brilliantly white and perfectly even
teeth. She has the charm of manner
which is the result of innate sweet
ness and is as popular with her own a3

Sweet Clever as a Hoaey Vtaat,
Ks Is well known, sweet clover. !
raluahle honey-plant, while someer
.sons regard it as a bad weed; but with
eleven, years experience I have:
learned Quite d.llttle about it. In the
first Dlace, I sowed it 'for it honey
qualities', but I soon found there was
something else of value connected with
it, writes G. J. Yoderln Gleanings. I
.sowed it on poor hevy soil in the
spring of iSS2. The following year
It was. a boon to my bees, .yielding
abundance of 'honeys I had sown It
near the public, .road, 'and many per
sons going; by would stop to see the
beas.work, on it, and express surprise.
The roots penetrated deep into the
hard subsoil, and made the landjoosa
and5 friable, arid, af fer . the crop .is
cleared off, it is in fine condition to put
to thcr'.crops. It will grow almost 'any
where, even on very rocky hillsides and
waste lands, but I prefer to sow It
where I. can keep control of!tand get
a crop of bloom and a "crop of 'seed;
then the next spring a crop of the same
kind, and In the fall a crop of hay, or
to wheat in the fall, and in the next fall
a crop .of hay. 'Every other year It're
e'edes itself, but if put to cultivated
crops a few years It: can .all be killed
out. I "hayea garden spot on a. sweet

Chas. Lennan, buyer for Armour
Packing Co., Chicago, has this to say
of the bacon hog:
"L With regard to its conformation:
The pig, like the poet, is born, not
made. It should have a lengthy body,
with larger hams and smaller should
ers than are usually seen on the hogs
that come to ciir Chicago market. A
small head set on the body with a light
neck, a good, deep side, aud a back that
is not too heavy, complete its frame.
"2. As to breed: The best breeds are
Yorkshire, Berkshire, Tamworth and
Improved Chester White and all the
crosses of these breeds. During my
trip tliroush the province of Ontario
fpr the purpose of finding out all I
could learn with regard ta the breeding
and feeding of pigs for the export ba
con trade, I could find no other kind of
hogs than the above mentioned and
their crosses, and as far as my experi
ence goes I feci sure that the cross of
tho Tamworth boar and the Yorkshire
sow; produces a bacon hog that cannot
be excelled. Tho great majority of
hogs raised in the west have a large
percentage of Poland-China in them,
and the light hogs of this breed are too
short and chunky to ever make a good
bacon pig. Wc do .however, get some
light hegs from M'ssouri that if prop
erly fed would be as near the right
shape as can be made.
"3. Docs the difference between the
bacon pig and tbe ordinary hog lie in
the breed or feed? It is necessary to
hae breed and -feed to make good ba
.oa pigs. Bacon p'gs have been bred
for years past tc hae a larger percent
age of lean meat in the carcass than
the average keg a fact that may be
seen at oncfc when the side of meat is
cut.-
"4. Will corn make the desired qual
ity of bacon when fed to any sort of
swine? Most undoubtedly, no. Corn
contains a far greater proportion of oil
than other siaail grains, which the hog
assimilates more rapidly than any oth
er animal, and the fat so produced is
far softer and contains more oil than
the fat of a hog fed in the proper man
ner to produce the right kind of ba
con. "o. Will tacon pigs command a pre
mium on the market over the ordinary
corn-fed type sufficient to justify farm
ers in growing them? That is a very
difficult question to give an answer to.
There is absolutely no means of know
ing how a hog has been fed while he is
alive; the only test is when he I3 killed
and chilled. There i3 as much differ
ence between the fat of a good bacon
bog and that of. one fed on corn as
there is between tha far of a corn-fed
hog and that of a long-nosed Texas beg
fed on mast. There is 110 doubt in my
mind that if our packers could have
any guarantee that hogs were fed in
the proper manner they would be will
ing to pay a premium for them. The
best bacon hogs in Canada, Denmark,
and the British Isles are fed In connec
tion with dairy farming, and" if that
branch of hog-raising is to be tried in
the United States it must be in con
junction v.'ith the dairy industry to be
come successful."
Keep the Good Covs. The wise
farmer docs not. sell a good rei!!: cow.
The more intelligent he is. and the
more observing, the more poor, cowj
he will have to sell, and it is sot Jikely
o be an easy matter for some years
to purchase profitable cows. In fact,
the most of them will have to be'ralsed,
and 'if they arc to be grown on the
farm- they will have to be fed not for
beef production, but for milk. There
is a very radical difference between the
prcper method of growing a steer or a
heifer not intended for dairy purposes
and a calf that is intended for milk
production In the future. It ia very
easy to spoil the heifer calf of a really
good cow and unfit herfor the purpose
for which she was intended. no matter
what'her breeding or her mother's per
formance may be. Creamery Gazette.
Wocd Ashes. Unlcr.ched weed ashes

equivalent, in lime, to one ton cf burn

.per cent of potash, 1 to 2 per cent of
