* When Senator Mersey reached home
one evening late ln the autumn he was
mat at fhe door my hi« wife. It waa a
fine old mansion, and tha kail waa
broad and inviting. Mra. Mersey waa
an Ideal hostess, and her parlors were
the center from which emanated the
best moral and benevolent influences-
Senator Mersey had founded a oollege for colored people la the soath,
and had endowed or become a trustee
of several othar institutions. His name
was a tower of benevolence. Mrs.
Mersey was a true helpmeet. Her
charities were bestowed with such oa*
tiring zeal aad cultivated wisdom* that
peopla came to her to ba taught how to
help others.
One day whan aome one told her a
heart-wringing story about a poor
woman aha exclaimed, with tears In
bar ayes:
"Oh, give ma bar address! 1 would
rather aaa that woman than the Queen
of Sheba." And the best ol it was, aha
not onlv meant what she said bnt did it
"How fine you look!" bhe aaid that
autumn evening twenty Tears ago, aa
aba met bar husband at the door. He
laughed gently.
"Oh, do I? Wall, it is my old overcoat tbat deserves the compliment. I
bave had it pressed."
"I am glad yon have," replied the
lady, "for I have left a place for lt th
tha bos that go|a down south to-morrow. Tou will bare to buy a new
ana."
lt never occurred to the senator to
differ from his wife ln such matters—
or any matters at all; and the next day,
when the box waa nailed up, the senator's overcoat waa nailed np ia it.
That was, as I have said, long ago,
and thoughtfulness for the poor was so
common in that household that the
senator and his wife forgot ail about it
Now, I am telling a true story, only
changing rmaias: Wid p'nrnrr so as to
proteot the modesty of two of Christ's
servants, who are careful that their
left hands do not tall their right hands
of their noble deeds.
Last year Mr. and Mrs. Senator
Mersey visited the south. They stopped
at a little sunny town, and there met
a colored minister, who, though poor,
waa in many respects far above the
average of the colored people about
aim.
His wife waa a lovable woman—intelligent, thrifty and neal She had been
a schoolmistress for several years, and
was a devoted mother. tn*r)'*-'-vr -"*»-■

_ j .. ir, f^Miu nn. ow weir had this
worthy couple dona in this respect that
their oldest boy is professor of Oreek
in a colored college, and would be honored as a citizen ia any community.
When these good people learned the
names of their visitors they showed unexpected emotion. On being questioned, the minister's wife told the following story:
"Abont twenty years ago my husband was sent as a delegate to the
Methodist convention. That was before yon were aeat to England to the
conference"—ahe turned toward her
husband with a proud smile. "1 must
say his overooat was quite shabby. It
had been worn four years; I had done
tha best for it I could. Before they
made him moderator Deacon Garvin
came up to him.
" 'Brother Jaokson,* <said he, 'you
ought to have another overcoat.'
" 'I have a good one on, that 1 am sure
can't be a stumbling block to the people of Zion.'
" 'I dunno 'bout that,' said the deacon, feeling of the overooat __om collar
to pockets. 'Now, I can jes' fix you up
finely, Brother Jackson,' said he. 'A
box haa jas' oome from Senator Mersey am_ \a •*■is an °9ataoat that will mw „_.„_.»» yr.u».

same ottt overooat of Senator Mersey's,
turned inside out'
"lt was such a beautiful materia),
you see, Mrs. Mersey! And ba wore
tbat coat for five years mora.
" 'Now,' says he, 'wife, 1 suppose I
shall haye to throw Senator Mersey's
overcoat away. It's getting almost too
shabby to wear.'
"And I had to confess that it was
pretty bad, all stained aad colored
with age. But I thought tt over for a
week. It waa of snch nice material
and had been so handsome that It really seemed a shame to throw it away.
It was like an old friend. One morning when I was a-washing, it occurred
to me, 'Why, it aaa be dyed. It ia
such good stuff, 1% will take tha dye
nicely.' Surely tbe Lord sent me tbat
thought.
"So I ripped lt up again, and dyed It,
and got a quarter of a yard for a new
collar, and new buttons, and for less
thaa two dollars he had such a good-
looking overcoat that it was, I am
sure, almost tha envy of the country.
Brother Oarvin wonld have liked to
have seen it, bnt the good man haa
gone to glory. •*
Sbe stopped for breath, while Senator and Mrs. Mersey looked from one
to another with tbe smiles that border
on tears.
"Well, do yon know, my husband
wore that ooat for five years more,"
she began, ln a quieter tone. "The
firat two years the dye held its color
very well. Tben it of oourse faded and
looked seedy, and I must say, toward
the end, it wsa very shabby indeed
Then my husband waa ashamed to
wear it, and I had mended It all I
oouid, and I waa ashamed to hava him.
We both felt badly about it.
" 'You can do nothing more with it
I've worn it Ingide and outside, aad I
reckon now I'll have to go without,'
My husband said this. I knew it was
trne, and I went into tha bedroom and
bad a good ory. I reckon I must have
prayed right smart over it, for one
night the inspiration from on high
oame to me—why got make it over for
a coat for Jimmy? He needs aa overcoat The Lord surely sent that
thought to ma
"Jimmy was just ten years old then;
that was foal* years ago. So I ripped
it up and cott off the worst parts and
made a very good-looking ooat lor

Lord told me.
"Tou ought to have aaaa Jimmy

thought it was the finest ooat Lt town,
and so warm.**
She stopped _%nd lopkttAatJuv b-ttr
whito o-.« stifled a cough.
'-'Where is Jimmy?" asked Mra Mersey, choking. "I should like to see
Jimmy with the overooat on."
"He died two years ago," came the
low reply. "The Lord took him. I'm
sure he's better off with Him than with
na"
The mother broke down. She went
over to her dusky husband and took
his hand and put it on her cheek and
kissed it.    It waa a rare caress.
"Excuse me," she said, turning to
her guests in apology. "Jimmy was
our youngest, and we loved him so
muoh. The Lord loved him, too, I
think, so He took him where he will
be safe forever."
With that expression of the simple
and supreme faith which puts to shame
all cold and scientific explanations of
the awful mystery of death, she went
oat of the room to hide her sorrow.
But soon she came back. While sbe
waa gone not a word was spoken in the
neat parlor. The old minister eould
not speak, and his visitors' eyes were
full, and their lips quivered
"Bare ls the ooat," said Mrs. Jackson, tenderly.    She held it up

BROILER   RAISING. |
in an exhaustive paper printed by the
well known authority, Michael K. Boyer,
for Farm Poultry on broiler raising, he
made  the  following  statements: "The
success of the business of broiler raising depends, first, on the quality of goods
marketed; second, properly advertising
the same, and, third, the  proper customer.   When the broiler raiser raises
his own eggs and keeps one systematic
cross for furnishing those eggs he will
have better goods to offer.    Take, tor
instance, Houdan cockerels crossed on
Cochin or Brahma hens, or the Wyandotte ia ito parity, and there would be
a uniform lot of birds in weight, piump- J
ness and yellow skin.   Now, if such a i
lot of birds ara properly labeled   as
coming from the farm of Mr. So-and-so, !
they will be sought after.    Another {
point for tha enterprising man who haa j
attractive stock to self to to seek as |
much retail custom as possible.   If the
clubhouses and large hotels knew thoy
could buy gilt edged birds from tbe farm
direct, they would bo holy too glad to
give tbeir standing orders, and the commissions of middlemen would go into
the hauds of the raiser.
I have always held that broiler raising
should be aa adjunct to some other business.   Some combine it with fruit; that
to tho general plan adopted ia  Ham-
monton.   Others use tt with egg raising,
which makes an excellent combination,
bot to my mind p unity of the thj-ee
TCpuld be better—fruit, broilers and eggs.
Up in Lorig Island thev combine broiler
raising with duck culture, aad il ts an
excellent idea.   As the docks can only
furnish eggs during the months from
February to September, aa a role, the
broilers QouJd be ^pne^ out from September to  Februal^, and af % leiSdn
when they would be bringing the host
prices.   Thus the incubators would be
run the entire year, and at a profit. Tha

thermometer. 8. A safe burner. The importance of a reliable thermometer and
safe burner cannot be too strongly given.
Unless a thermometer to true there will
be no guarantee that the proper heat is
given.   Thermometers with the meroury
parted should never be used.   Likewise
much depends upon the burner.   If a
poor one is used there is great danger of
the wick working loose and increasing
the heat when you are not about.   A
steady flame is also of much use in a
burner. Wicks should never be trimmed
with a scissors.    The best way is to
scrape off the hard crust with a burned
match.
The matter of green food is often a
perplexing problem to the broiler raiser,
rot if he adopts the colonizing plan he
will have very little trouble oa that
score. My idea of this scheme to to have
the little brooding houses scattered and
no yards attached. Each flock is to have
its freedom. All the ground with a good
radius should be plowed up and rye
■own. In a few weeks it will be up to
such a height that ttte little chicks will
have a feast. As it is not killed by
winter it furnishes a splendid crop for
them. Early in spring it shoots up again,
and the chicks will have a harvest until
the rye haa grown too large for them,
when it caa be mown down or plowed
under and wheat sown. Thto will serve
them well until that, too, has grown t^*-

Potato Experiments.
Results gained from experiments with
Irish potatoes at the Louisiana station
and reported on by J. Q. Lee give some
interesting conclusions. In aa experiment to test size of seed seven varieties
of large and medium sized potatoes were
used for seed, being planted wbole and
out to two or more eyes and to one eye.
The results for each variety from one
ta.-iof, S§§<_ K9 tabulate^ "Tbe productive results obtained concur witn
those of previous years; the larger flae
seed planted the greater the yield. The
economical results are, however, different, and calculating for this point suggest that, planting on a large scale, it is
better to out aot to more than four eyes
nor less than two.*
Well Paid For Picking.
Oolonel Ebenezer Sproat, who was
born in Middleborough, Mass., in 175S,
served through the Revolutionary war
with distinction aad being a soldier himself naturally thought that soldiers engaged ia their country's defense deserved
to be handsomely treated. Eto father,
it appears, kept a tavern. Early la the-
war, while Ebenezer was a captain, ho
was at home oa a short furlough, and
one day three privates, on their way
home from the army, called at the house
for a cold luncheon.
Mra Sproat set on the table some
bread aad cheese, with the remains of
die family dinner. Ebenezer thought
, this rather scaaty fare for hungry men,
especially as tiie bones were already
pretty bare. However, the men satisfied their appetites and asked what waste pay. Captain Sproat answered tfcat
he did aot know, he wrold ask his mother, and going to the kitchen door ho
said!
"Mother, bow much is tt worth to pick,
these bones?" -aa
"About a shilling, I suppose," she answered.
He went back to the room, took from
the drawer 8 shillings, and with a timing tact handed them to the men, attfcte
■ama time wishing them good day aiid a
pleasant journey.
When they had been gone a few minutes, Mrs. Sproat returned and askpd
Skfgezej what he bad dime with tha-
money that tne men had paid him,
"Paid mer said the oaptain, with an
air of amazement. "Didn't I ask yoa
what it was worth to pick tbose bones,
and didn't you say a shilling? I thought
tt little enough for sucb a job apd
banded them the money from the *lft;
ani they are gone."
Ebenezer waa his mother's favorite
son, and she accepted the matter aa a
good joke to be borne withont compla."-

Tho Elusive Lead Pencils..
What becomes of the toad penpils if am
insolvabto a problem as wbat becomes
of pins. No one ever really uses up lead
pencils—no oue drinks them, so to speak,
to tiie very dregs, unless it to one o£
those admirable people who keep Journals and cash accounts, and who usually
carry a sort of penholder arrangement
tti whloh they insert a half lengui
penoil and go on and on using it apd
sharpening it until it is all gone, very
few people ever get pencils worn down
as far as a half length. They disappear
before that stage is reached. What be--
comes of them all? Hundreds of thousands of them annually are lent to young
children and never seen again, but what
do the ohildren do wijjh them? Do they
eat them up?   Possibly.
Everybody has Been lead pencils the*
upper end of whioh have been chewed
into a brush, bat ohildren do not possess
suoh ostrich stomachs as would enable-
them to consume all the pencils that dis.
appear.—Boston Transcript.

The New Onion Culture.
The departure in the cultivation of the
all important onion, designated as the
new onion culture, consists in the transplanting of the young plants, wbich was
formerly considered impracticable. This
transplantation of the young plants has a
twofold object—namely, increasing the
yield and securing an earlier crop. This
departure, tt to believed by those wbo
have investigated the subject, promises
good results wherever intensive cultivation is practiced. The new onion culture
was prominently brought Into publio notice by the horticulturist of the Ohio experiment station in a bulletin issued in
1890. A little later T. Greiner, of New
York, issued a manual on the subject.
BUILDING FOR OTHERS.
What if 1 build tor others.
And tha walls of the building stand
Long after 1 am forgotten
By the dwellers within the land-
Long after the buildings have crumbled
That were founded upon the sand?
What if 1 build for others
And the building shelters ine oot.
And within the homo I havo bullded
I sholl have no i>art or lot,
And the dwellers Who have their homos there
Through all time shall know me aot*
Tet when the years shall .have faded.
And beneath the roof tree's shade
The ohildren of generations
te their childish days have played.
And have passed (rom under the roof tree
And vanished Into tha shade.
Some dweller beneath the roof tree.
Thinking when it was new.
May say as his thoughts turn backward.
Keeping Its age ia view,

Builded bettor than he knew."
