Dormant buds often come to the rescue in such cases, and a fair siop may thus result in spite of past unfavorable winter condi- tions, —I¢ is au old maxim among those who raite calves that any milk not fit for the farmuer’s table is unfit for the call. Sour or very cold milk will cause scours, and an filth in the milk will invariably show its effects in the condition of the calf. —Land that bas been cultivated for some years is better for all kinds of trees than land that is in its natural state or that has not been turned up for many years. Before the trees are planted the land should be again plowed as deeply as possible. —When foods are fed on the farm and sold in some other form the valuable ele- ments of fertility are retained at home,and as long as this isdome tbe farm may be cultivated to its highest limit of capacity and will become more valpable every year. —Rake up all the debris around the grape vines and burn the leaves and other materials. Scatter air-slaked lime liberally on the ground around the vines. In the spring turn the soil under and use more lime. In this maoner the ravages of the rot can be greatly mitigated. =A drain that is stopped up is one that is not only unservicable, but a menace to health. When full there is always a dis- agreeable ntench therefrom, and, being always dam), substances decompose quick- ly. Nothing is more improved than to frequently examine the ontlete of drain pipes and ditches, in order to have a free flow of water in them. ~—While caring for the heifers we should take a few minutes each day and handle them. Were this done they would never have to be ‘broken’ to milk, and there would be no jammed pails nor straia- ed tempers. Ican milk wy heifers from either side without trouble, just as well as the older cows. I think is pays for the time taken, as they give their milk down more freely. ~The shaping of a tree should be done when it is young. The practice of allow- ing useless limbs to grow, only to be saw- ed or chopped off when the tree is iarge, is a mistake,as every undesirable limb grown deprives the other limbs of 20 much food and nourishment. Begin with the first i and train the tree to the shape desired, +’ leaving only such branches as will be re- ined later on. ~—Cauliflowers will not thrive except +) under the very best conditions. They are “.. grown in the same manner as cabbage, only the soil must be exceedingly rich. Many growers bave found it necessary to ocea- sionally water this crop, which is a hin- drance to field cultare, although the prices usually obtained repay the care. If the leaves are drawn together over the heads blanching will be greatly facilitated. —Sweet corn is a profitable crop, as it is always in demand in market. As the plate grow rapidly, and the ears are mar- eted before the seed matures, the crop is soon out of the wa: to be followed up by crimson clover. To have sweet corn gon and reach the market quickly, the land should be well manured, and in addition about 100 pounds per acre of nitrate of soda anid by broadcasting when planting the —New varieties are often sold because they are '‘novelties,”’ rather than because they are better than the old, tried and standard kinds. It is better to use varie- ties of trees and vegetables that are known to be the best for the section where they have been tested, in preference to using others, until experience gives an opportu- nity to know more of the newer varieties. Novelties should be tested in a limited way. —By the most careful feeding for veal, but one pound of live weight can be made from one pound to ome and a quarter pounds of dry matter. To put butter fat, worth 15 to 25 cents per pound, into veal worth six to eight cents per pound live weight, is wasteful, and poverty is the re- sult.

To overcome this, many curling de- vices bave been invented. One of the new- est aud most practical is a soft piece of rub- ber, about three inches long and a ball- inch in diameter. It looks like a gigantic screw, and the hair is wound around is, following the convolutions. It makes a good wave, und, as it is soft and yielding, does nos burt the head at night. The open-work leather belts so fashiona- ble this season can be inexpensively imi- tated by a girl who is clever with her fin- gers. Take the sleeve of long evering gloves, cut them open, and paste on the back a lining of paper cambric or some such light-weight, rather stiff, material. Then cat oat your belt in any design you like. These belts are worn over colored silk. You can bave several colors with one leather belt. Or the leather can be sewn on the colored silk lining, and the edges of the cat-work outlined in beads. - A square-cut open neck bas a certain style, bat as the effect is to raise the shoul- ders and increase the breadth across the y | chest, it should be avoided by those whose shoulders are already broad enough. On the other band, slender people with slop ing shoulders shoul | never wear V necks, though this cut is most becoming to those inclined to stoutness, especially if the neck is short and the throat full. A round neck, cut just below the collar-bone, is almost universally becoming. Girls who live all the year in the little towns and villages known to others only as summer resorts may find, daring the sea- son of ‘‘strangers,’”’ many opportunities of service which will benefit both the inhab- itants of the place and the summer colony. One such work is 8 by that of a city mission church, which has found a way of enlarging its charities by means baving the advantage of giving very little trouble to those asked to belp. A large burlap bag, with sides sewed over and over with twine and a rope draw- ing-string at the top, is sent hy mail to any one willing to take charge of it. This bag is to be bung in some convenient place in the house, and into it is dropped whatever is not wanted by the members of the house- hold —wearing apparel of all sorts, from hats to shoes (the latter paired and tied to- gether;) also toys, magazines, bric-a-brac, etc. When the bag is filled an addressed postal-card, which comes fastened to it, is sent to headquarters and a messenger takes the bag away. The contents are sorted and dictributed to the stpaisens, both men and women, who are paid a small sum for their work. The articles are afterwards sold at low prices, often to the repairers, who thus can earn in the only ‘way open to them the small sum required for an un- mended article. Clothes too far gone to be repaired are made into rugs, either woven on a loom or braided and sewed by band. Now, the girls who ‘‘want to help” might organize a club for some such work as this on a small scale. Cottagers and boarders alike would be only too glad to be relieved fiom time to time during the season of the constant accumulations of clothing, toys, and other articles which are often destroyed just to get them out of the way. The members of this club might at first do the repairing, and their knowledge of local conditions would enable them to place things where they would do most good. Perhape they might introduce rug- making also, at least the braided rogs. These always find a ready sale for use in kitchens, bathrooms, or on piazzas. Am thesummer girls surely a few might be found willing to join such a club, or to give an occasional morning for the work of repairing. Some also there might be who would contribute money. In this last case, repairers might be paid, as in the case cited above. Poor girls, unskilled and un- employed, might be taught to put clothes in order, retrim hats, ete. Indeed, this work, once undertaken, would open up endless possibilities. It is worth trying. Girls in their ‘‘teens’’ are often annoyed aud mortified by disagreeable eruptions on their faces and hands. It is small consola- tion to be told by their elders that it isa ing phase which they will outgrow. t any girl so afflioted gather (while it is yet summer) the leaves and flowess of the ordinary red clover tea. So t was the reputation of this tea in all skin diseases a generation or so ago, that it was believed to be a specific for cancer. That, alas! is not so, but it will cure very troublesome afilictions. To make the tea take a good big pinch of the dried leaves and flowers combined. Put these into a small pitcher and pour over them half a pint of ing water. Let the mixture stand all night. The dose is a small wine-glassfal taken three or four times during the day. Many people do not feel that they have really a salt-water bath unless the head has been wet. In this case care should Bg | be taken to rinse the hair thoroughly in fresh water afterwards, or it will be sticky and feel coarse to the touch. If the drying is done in the open air, the scalp being meantime gently , there is no of taking cold. en there is no time or inclination for this amount of care after the bath, it ie better not to wet the bair at all. The thin rubber bathing caps are a perfect protection, and their unbe- comingness may be concealed by a bright silk or gingham bandkerchiel arranged like the turban of a Southern mammy. Every girl should know how to prepare other refreshing summer beverages than the usually ble lemonade. New Or- leans is famous for its delicious orgeat, for which orange flowers are usually used, but a very good imitation orgeat may be made without them.

Rose water may be used, if pre- ferred, instead of orange water, with the almond essence. People who are not very strong should always take some light refreshment after a sea bath ; a raw egg, a glass of milk, ora few crackers ate quite sufficient. If there is any tendenoy to chiliness, have the milk hot, or substitute beef tea. GAMBLERS’ LUCK. £2 Joke Which Brought a Fortune to Its Innocent Victim, Having lost every cent of his ready money at the gaming tables, an Eng- lish visitor at Monte Carlo wired a pathetic appeal for help to a friend in England. Two days later he recelved a letter addressed in the friend's hand- writing which on being opened reveal 2d a five pound note. Without pausing to read the letter, the plunger hastened to Ciro's, the fa- mous restaurant in the Galerie Charles III, and changed his “fiver” French money. From Ciro’s he went straight into the Casino, where, ex- periencing an extraordinary run of luck, he not merely retrieved all his previous losses, but gained a substan- tial increase into the bargain. Weary of play, he retired with a few cronies to Ciro's again to celebrate the occasion. The usually genial M. Ciro met him at the door of his establish- ment with a flood of reproaches and upbraidings. The five pound note was bad! He waved it angrily In the plunger’s face—mais oul, it was false, this five pound note! The plunger took the guilty “fiver” and scrutinized it carefully. It was one of the sham bank notes issued by Sir Augustus Harris and bore on its face an advertisement of the Drury Lane pantomime. The English friend, himself as “broke” as the Monte Carlo plunger, had posted him the flagrantly worthless note as a joke—a joke, which had the plunger taken the trouble to examine the “fiver” or read its cover- ing letter he would have seen only too clearly himself. It was fortunate that he did not do so. He merely paid Ciro his £5 and, inviting the pacified res- taurateur to share in the champagne, pretended that the whole affair was on intentional witticism. The concelt of a croupier, who fondly imagined that he understood the Eng- lish language, was instrumental in pre- senting another and far less experi- enced Britisher with 1,000 francs. This gentleman, handing a 1,090 franc billet to the croupier in question, ask- ed for plaques In exchange for it. Plaques are the 1 five louis gold pleces pecullar to Monaco. The crou- pler, fancying that the player had said “black” and was requesting him to place the note on the “black” com- partment of the cloth, did so unob- served. Black duly turned up, and the croupier politely handed 2,000 francs to the surprised Britisher.— Ward Muir in Chambers’ Journal. THE GRUWIH Ur 1KUUT, Age, Food and Temperature Seem to : Have No Bearing on Size. The Salvelinus fontinalis, which is currently but inaccurately called brook trout, was supposed for many years to be a small fish. Agassiz was largely instrumental in exploding this fallacy. It is not an uncommon thing for an angler with ordinary luck to get a six or seven pound trout of this variety. It is known that a trout may grow to welgh eleven or twelve pounds. re is, however, great difficulty in accounting for its variation in size. In northeastern Canada there are large streams and lakes in which only fingerlings have ever been found. In the immediate vicinity of such waters three and four pound trout are quite common and seven and eight pounders are not phenomenal. In all these wa- ters crustacea do not abound; there are 0Dg | no small fish of any kind except sinall trout. All the fish are pure fly feeders. At some places, it is true, frogs abound, but taken as a whole the difference in food supply is not an adequate ex- planation for the difference In growth. There is no substantial difference In the waters as to temperature, size, origin and course. Climatic conditions are the same. The small trout taken to virgin lakes in which there are no fish have sometimes grown to a great size, have sometimes remained small and sometimes have not thriven. The anglers who haunt these waters have not yet found a satisfactory explana- tion of this peculiar condition of things. It is one of the mysteries which lends fascination to the art. “You never can tell what is going to happen when you go fishing."”—8t. Paul Dispatch. Long Words or Short?

Cockfighting Among the Greeks, The sport of cockfighting seems to have originated with Themistocles of Greece. When he was leading an army against the Persians he noted two cocks In a desperate battle. To stim- ulate the courage of his soldiers he pointed out the bravery of birds, and, having won his battle with the Per- slans, he ordered that an annual cock- fight should be held to celebrate his victory. In England the records show mat the first cockfight took place In 1101. What He Meant. “Don’t forget to visit the mystery show while you are in Europe.” “Let's see, that's in one of the Ger- man cities, isn't it? “No, it's in Berne, Switzerland.

Modern Cannon, In modern high velocity cannon the pressure of the gases at the moment of firing generates tremendous heat. It Is estimated that this heat runs as Ligh as 8,000 degrees and even 9,000 Cegrees. The white hot gases eat away the steel lining of the guns in much the same way as streams of boiling water eat away a block of ice. 4 VE, ee TE" A Pussler. Johnnie—Pa, equine is a horse, isn't it?
