The trefold leaves are not more than one-fourth the size of the smallest clover usually seen in America and are pure green In color, without any ot the brown shading of white and pink clovers. The creeping stem is bard and fibrous and difficult to dislodge from the earth. On St. Patrick's day the true shamrock has to be searched out among the grass, for, though comparatively plentiful at that season, it grows close to the ground. .Later it bears a tiny "white crown" blossom. The information that sbamrakh is the Arabic word for trefoil may be of service to those interested in the Irish race. Philadelphia Ledger.

That again in the joy of the harvest our jubi lant anthem we raise. Though many the fears that beset us, though faith waxes feeble and cold, , Thy bow, with Its promise unbroken, glitters still as it glittered of old. . Though . weary we grow in our watching the . weeks of the drought as they pass - ' When the earth is as ir-"n beneath us and the heaven above us as brass; Yet the showers come back in their season : Once more in the land there is seen The brook brimming over with crystal, the grass as the emerald green. . Though troubled the spirit within us. when the mist upon valley and plain Lies thick, and the clouds in their armies re turn again after the rain. Yet the sun cometh forth as a giant, and after . the tempest of the morn ; Is cloudless and fair, and the color grows golden and rich on the corn. For seed-time and harvest we thank thee i our fears, as the shadows, have fled ; Thou has given his seed to the sower, thou bast given the eater his bread Alfred Church Another Use for Old News papers. A very careful housekeeper we are ac quaioted with Bays : For sweeping a room neatly there is nothing like newspaper aid. It saves so much labor. This is her method : Take a page of newpaper at a time, wet in hot water, and squeeze it till it ceases to drip. Tear into small pieces of the Bize of your band, and cast them al over the carpet. Then sweep, and most of the dust in the room will be gathered into the paper. On matting use larger pieces of paper, pushing them ahead of the broom to take up any fluff there may be, before begin ning the regular sweeping. After a pile or other carpet is thoroughly swept, a sponging with ammonia and water will preserve its brightness wonderfully. About once a month, after sweeping well take a pailiul of warm water, and add to it a tablespoonful of ammonia or turpentine. Two spoonfuls of the latter will do good, as it is an excellent pre ventive of moths. Go over the whole carpet with a large soft cloth or sponge wrung so as not to drip. It is surprising how rapidly the water gets discolored. If the carpet is large or much solid or dusty the water must be change once or twice. N ew York Beeord&r.

G1LREATH & CO. June 1, 1894. ! ;s&tiMr Tear Without birUiday. p.'. I A Scottish1 clergyman, who died 30 ! " -r m a i TT' years . ago,. Mr. .jjeisnman, oi jvinrosa, used to tell that ne once uvea seven years without a birthdav. The statement puzzled most who heard - it. ' They could see that if he "had been born on the 29th of February he would 'have no birthday except in 'a leap year. But leap year comes onoe in four1 years, and this ac counts for a gap of three years only. Their first thought would, therefore, naturally be that the old man, who, in fact, was fond '.of a harmless jest, was somehow jesting aboul the seven. There was, however, no joke or trick in his assertion. - At the present time there can be very few, if there are any, who have this tale to tell of themselves, tor on? who can ten it must have been born on the 29th day of February at least 98 years ago. But a.simuar line oi missing uaiB is uuw soon to return ; and, indeed, tbere are, no doubt, some eadexwho will have only one birthday to celebrate for nearly 20 yean to come. The solution of the puzzle is to be found in the fact, which does not appear to be widely known, that the year 1800 was not a leap year, and 1900 will not be. The February of 1892 had 29 days, but in all the seven years intervening be tween 1896 and 1904, as well as in the three between 1892 and 1896, that month will have only 28 Pittsburgh Dispatch. The Misuse of Some Adjectives. The word "nice" is frequently misused and taken from its significance of neat, delicate, dainty, to stand for agreeable, charming, or virtuous. Thus, a girl was talking to another of that decidedly ob jectionable member of society, a burglar, and, alluding to one in particular, a man undergoing a sentence of imprisonment, said, with emphasis : 'I don't think he was a nloe young man." A "nica" girl, by the way often does duty in describing avounerwoman who. whatever else sne may be, is more than moe it she is gentle, good, winsome, and well bred, and whose niceness ought to be taken tor granted. "Lovely, in the same way is applied equally to a favorite pudding or a beloved relative. ".First-rate serves as a qualify ing adjective when scenery, fruit, clothes, a pleasant time, or O, worst and saddest of misnomers I the natural appearance of a corpse are the topics which the sneaker has in mind. Harper's Bazaar, Among all the clubs of the present day a "Darning Ulub" is certainly one of the most practical. It originated among a number of housewives, who de cided that "darning' was too dull work to be pursued in the solitude Qf Qpe s own home, and so arranged to have a weekly meeting on Wednesday forenoon, to which each should take her mending, while those who had no work were to en tertain the rest by reading or something pf a similar pbaracter. The plan was parried ou't a.nd worked, arnfrably. Not only was a pleasant weekly enter tainment ODioyed and a great deal of uninteresting work happily disposed of, but the members beoame familiar with large amount of elevating literature which else they would not have had the time or the opportunity for assimilating. Examiner, It is the pretty Christian legend that the aspen quivers with shame because from its wood the cross was made. Observers of nature have discovered, how ever, that the quivering of the aspen leaves is due to the fact that the leafstalk is flat on the sides and so thin about the middle that the slightest breath of wind sets all the leaves a wagging horizontally. A single leaf plucked off and taken by the ep of the leaf stalk between the thumb and the forefinger admirably iluatratea the peculiarity of the aspen. No worm or insect is ever found upon the eucalyptus tree or in the earth penetrated by its roots. Two Liyes gaveg. Mrs Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, 111. was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bot tles Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and sbe says it saved her life.

The Institutional Village Church. BY THE BEY. X. A. GEORGE. The village church in a certain sense baa a wider sphere tbau that of the city, it stands so much more alone. Side by side with the city church are lecture courses, concerts, Young Men's Christian Associations, publio libraries, entertainments of varied character, the stimulating reaction of association with large numbers of men and women, count less influences which tend to keeD persons thinking, to rest them after work, to call out the best m them. From ' . . . I this point 01 view the city church might almost be excused if it contented itself with the old-fashioned lines of specifically religious work, leaving wider philanthro pic and educational influences to the many agencies which surround it. Yet it is this very city church, with all its humanitarian allies, which is branching out from the conventional channels and contributing to the general physical, social, and intellectual well being of the community Directly opposite is the situation of the village church. t stands alone, What allies has it, to which it may in trust general humanizing influences ? What place is there open every night, except the saloon, if there be one, and the store, that club-house of the country iAnrn 9 UaQlHa tVlk nnrtaoiAnal laif n.a an1 I town ? Beside the occasional lecture and concert and theatrical performance (which is generally of a obaracter to justify the historic opposition of the stricter sects), what is there to call men and women out of themselves, to stimu late them to be anything but drudges ? Ibero is a certain barrenness of hie in the ordinary village, due to this very lacK ot inspiration. Tne atmosphere is close 'with local interests which stifle, and petty scandals which poison. The average town noeda airing, neds, to, have its windows thrown wide open, that breezes from the great outside world may blow in to purify and invigorate, Tbere are not a few who long for this fresh air. There are tired women who have hardly opened a book since their mar riage, except the well-worn cook-book. and who look upon the shelf of school. books as a dream of the past. As they dust them, they think with a sigh of the I :.n...i Li-L u l uiiciiDuiium luioiBsiu wuiuu uuuBBwurK. i and and the care there is of children have crippled, nothing to stimulate a re-1 turn to the oiq studies. There are men who wish to check the inroads upon time and life ot business, and to give their higher selves a chance, but there is little to help them. Business hours in a "conter of trade'' are much longer than in the city, in many towns the stores are open from six in the morning till ten at night, and this every day in -the week. If early closing be proposed, the objection is raised that there is nothing else to do, nowhere to go. The village needs to be shown things to do in the evening, and places to go to things and places eo attractive that io stores will close of themselves. "This is iust the business of the village church; it ought to otter the community something more tnan Sunday services, a prayer and oon ference meeting, an occasional "sociable," strangely misnamed, as stiff and cold as the ice-cream served. It stands alone with a wide field : it rests upon it to quicken not only moral and religious life, but also domestic, social, intellectual, aesthetic, every kind of life that is gen uinely human. It there s any church which cannot be forgiven for not being in some sense "institutional," it is this same village church. An account of a recent attempt in this direction may be of interest, and offer some definite suggestion. It is simply an application of the University Extension idea. One hundred miles from the town is a good pollege, from which a professor was invited to deliver a lecture on modern history and to suggest books and out lines of - work for a class. A simple church announcement brought together in a preliminary meeting over thirty desiring to join such a movement. There were about a hundred present at the in. troductory leoture, to which a small ad mission was charged in order to pay expenses. Each member of the class had Muller's "Political History of Recent Times" as a textbook, and tbere was pur chased tor general use, from a common fund, a reference library consisting of Fyffe s three volumes on modern Hiurope, McCarthy's History of Our Own - JT ' Times," and Lowoll's "Eve of the French Revolution." For more than four months bi weekly meetings of the class were held, at which a definite period was discussed and short papers read, each member reading several papers during the course. A committee presented at each meeting a printed outline of the reading for the next, with appointments of essays. The ladies, with characteristic ambition, met by themselves in the intervening week, to make special preparation for the next meeting. One of the programmes was as follows : Crimean War. Causes, Attitude of Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, France, and England. Measures taken by the Sul tan. Siege of Sebastopol. Peace of Paris. Unification of Italy, 1848 71. Power of Alliance of Napoleon. Solferino. Gari baldi. Addition of Sicily, Naples, and Yenetia to the kingdom Rome made the capital. Topics for papers. Siege of Sebastopol. Victor Emmanuel. Garibaldi. Cavour. The books and outlines were in more than twenty families. Many not mem bers of the class became interested and wished to attend the meetings. Toward the close of the course the professor made a second visit, and gave an interesting lecture on the whole period. Memories of school-days were revived ; fresh ambi - tion came to not a few: tiaed mothers found a new rest from housework and care of the children in studying about Florence Nightingale and Empress Eu - genie. .Business men read tne toreign .

Hardware. t"How centipedes oarry their young is described by Mr. Quelch, who writes to Nature from British Guiana. During his eight years' residence in that country he has frequently seen centipede from nve to eight inches in length carrying their young clasped by means of their legs to all parts of the undersides of the body, though they are generally in dense olusteres. When very young they are closely clustered, seeming to be unable to clasp their parent in turn ; but when older they move about in dependently, and when clustered by the action of their parent they inces. santly change their position in the cluster. When the young are thus bunched to gether, the body of the parent is coiled l.iH in n noAM HtrA littla r a wft a a nn lh. ground, under sticks, etc. If the parent is left shut up in a box with her young, and left unfed for a day or two, it will "feed quite leisurely and greedily at times on its young." It is a matter of congratulation that the favorite food of centipedes is cockroaches. aaww An Author's Advici to Wkitxrs. A man vhn wtntAB mno.h nnarht trt nA holders of two or three sizes.

As for his war saddle, which has just been transferred to a new owner : it is gorgeously embroidered; it has a high born, bearing a lion s head . with . silver eyes; its trappings are rich and heavy; it was captured by Sam Houston in a horseback combat, while the bullets flew thick and fast around. The Mexican war was the most ro mantio of all the wars in which our coun- try has been involved.

Another Evidence that New Berne Should la- vest More in Manufacturing Enterprises. Mr.S. M. Wood worth, of the Fort Payne basket company! informs us that in one days's canvass "which he has just made in this city, he booked orders for four hundred dozen baskets.' Such ready sales as this show the importance of New Uerne s engaging in the manufacturing of those articles for which we are spe cially fitted. Mr. Wood worth's 'firm has bad from a JNew uerne house as high an order as one for a hundred dozen at one time. As our readers know a basket willow farm has been planted near New Berne - - for the purpose of engaging In the manu facturing of willow baskets at an early day. While the baskets sold by Mi. Wood worth are different from those which it is proposed to make here, being the split-wood basket, such sales for any basket should afford encouragement to the promoters of the proposed new in dustry. Only those engaged in the busines know how great are the sales on little articles of household necessity, which in a short time wear out and have to be re placed by new ones. There is many an industry on the manufacturing line which could be engaged in without any great cost that would be found quite profitable I and it would pay our momed men to in vestigate these things closely, and estab lish some of them in lieu of devoting as large a proportion of their cash and efforts as they do to commercial pur suits. The establishment of such industries would improve trade . ia two ways. It would furnish anj investment for capital which might otherwise be used in com petition with mercantile houses, and it would in the second place, put in the hands of the trading people who are fur nished employment, h greater amount of money witn which to trade. W e should have more factories, it it I fni (1ATA AnniAnt tVftt.nrA m TPI MU I sources which the majority of cities do not have, but because ' we have these things it is no reason why we should not have manufacturing well developed also. Give us every enterprise possible. Each one will give employment and bring more money to the place. Nevcbern Journal. 13?
