When the | breeds are wixed up the result is generally that the lambs you raise will fall far short of their brightest possible results. —Who can doubt that cornis king when, in additicn to its food and feed value, the cob is used to make alcohol, cider vinegar avd ‘‘pure maple syrup,” while from the | husk is tnrned oat a fair article of smoking | tobacco. Coal and cotton will have to look to their laurels. —Celery is a crop that requires very rich | land, bot it will bear farther transporation without loss than mauvy other market | vegetables. A good deal of the celery used | in Eastern cities is grown in various parts | of the West, on rich, mucky lands. It can | be sold here at lower prices than it can be | grown on valuable land near large cities. | —When the hedge plants begin to die! out the cause may sometimes be traced to lack of plant food. Thereis considerable | wood removed from hedge plants every | year when the hedges are trimmed, and | this annuoal loss cannot be sustained hy the | plants unless they are assisted. Apply wood ashes freely every fail. —Trim the fruit trees v0 as to have the tops open and free, not allowing any of the | limbs to touch or cross each other. Much depends upon the first trimming of a young | tree, ae its shape is then fixed, and the | cutting away of the small limbe can be done with less injury to the tree when it is i young than at auy other time. — Rust aud smut [eed differently on the wheat plant. Rust is usually on a stalk, and feeds on the pabulum prepared for the ! seeds, but smut feeds on the seed itself. | Should any kind of fangus growth be no- | ticed on the wheat or corn plants the seed for next year's crop should be procured from elsewhere, while rotation to other! plots should also be practiced. i —It is not the large hog that pays, but | the one that makes the largest quantity of pork in the shortest time, and on the small. | est amount of food. If a pig comes in dur- | ing April he has nearly nine months dar- | ing which to grow by the end of the year. i If he is well bred, and from a good siooi | of hogs, be shonld easily be made to weigh | 0 pounds daring the nine months of his e. —Radisbes grow very quickly, avd will get oat of the way of other plants in time to give them an opportunity to push for- ward. Hence, in order to save room radish seed may be sown in the rows with the seed of other plants, as they also serve to | show the rows of plants that are slow of | growth. The long scarlet variety is one of | the best. In order to bave them crisp and tender they should be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. They are easily for- ced in frames or in warm places, and every one should take advautage of such oppor- tunities. —Buckwheat isa profitable crop, and | thrives on sandy soil. Itis what may be | termed a summer grain crop, as the weed | may be rude in June aud the crop harvested before frost. It is grown asa green wanurial crop, or for the grain. It rovides an abundant forage for bees when n blossom, though some do not claim the honey therefrom to be of the highest qual. ity. Being of rapid growth, buckwheat crowds the weeds and prevents them from growing, and as it shades the soil it is re. garded as one of the crops that can he grown <or that purpose. —Black rot has been very destructive on cabbage and cauliflower for several seasons, and means of relief, even slight, will be welcomed by growers. Recent investiga: tion by the New York Station, at Genesee, show that the germ of disease may be car- ried over winter on the dry seed, a fact pre- viously doubted by scientists, and that these germs may produce the disease when inoculated into the healthy plants. Itis, therefore, a wise precaution to disinfect the cabbage secds, as removing one possible source of infection. This can be done very cheaply, easily and safely by soaking the seeds for 15 minutes in corrosive suhlimate solution of 1 to 1000 strength. —The main cabbage crop may be trans- planted during Jane or July, and a crop of millet or Hungarian grass may be put in if desired. In some sections the sweet potato orop does not get fully transplanted kefore Jone. Carrots, beets and parsnips should always be put in the ground early, yet it is not too late to make good crops of them in June, provided rain falls daring the time the seed is in. The turnip crop is one of the most important, and the putting in of the seed may be deferred until any time after a good rain, but farmers must prepare their land well for late crops, especially if the seeds are fine, or of a kind that does not germinate quickly. Good peparation is one of the essentials to good growth and capacity to withstand drought. —The g0il to be nsed for potted plants should be a mixture of leaf mold from the woods, sand and good loam, a little powdered charcoal being an improvement. A piece of broken pot should be put over the drainage hole, then enough soil put in 80 that when the ball of earth is placed in the pot there will be about au inch of 8 from. the surface of the =oil.to the m of the pot. Fill in the soil all around the ball, avd pack it moderately tighs. Finally give the pot a tap on the to settle the soil. After all the plants are potted put a spray nozzle on the sprinkler and give them a good watering, shading with newspapers for two or three days dar. ing sunshine until re-established. “Never use a large size pot for a small rooted plant. If you do the soil will sour and the plants sicken and die. —Like all biennials, the burdock is easily destroyed in cultivated fields. It is in by-places, such as fence sides, lan corners around the buildings, pastures, the borders of woodlands, that burdocks give trouble. But even in these they are not difficult to destroy. Farmers who go over their fields twicea year will soon bave no burdocks. In catting them care should be taken to strike below the crown, Every plant cut in this way must die. The on may be done at any time of the year when the ground is not frozen, and it is, of course, much more easily done when the ts are young. While it is not dil- t to cut off asmall tap root with the knife, it is much more difficult to accom- plish the same when the root has attained a diameter of an inch cr more. Two or three years of t cutting will re- move nearly all burdocks from the hy- { “vanishing” poivt. | smar$ coatees. | to this decoration.

The point | of departure from the old models is at | what wonld once bave been the sleeve line | or the shoulder line, which is, indeed, a | The kimono coatee then, bas its distiue- tion in a cape effect, with kimouo sleeves | —eaning n long straight seam, whereby a long piece of goods ou *‘the straight’ (as | dressmakers call the up and down of the material) is set on to the coat or waist, instead of a tobular piece resembling a | sleeve being set in on a circalar armbole, | Suweviwes the kimono sleeve addition is | very ehort, as when it only covers the up- | per part of the arm at the outside seam of sleeve, althongh of course it droop: much | lower at the waist. i The effect of the kimono coatee isto broaden the chest and figure generally and | to produce a wide-shouldered effect. The | wore slender the wearer naturally is the ! greater advantage may she gain by adopt- | ing this coatee. i The kimono coatee is developed in chif- | fon cloth, in Rajah silk aod is also seen in | the new tinted linen costumes, whose | possesso:s are waiting for warm weather | to arrive, in order to display the coveted | model. | There are several ways of trimmiog these | Strips of lace insertion, in | underlasting carves or straight or van. | dyked, make a pattern of cobweb tracery | on a dove colored silk, which is very pret- i when used as a trausparent. Sometimes the coatee is enlivened with stitched bands of the silk or linen of which itis “‘built,” to borrow a piece of dressmaker’sslang. Braiding in sontache is also employed, either in rows of parallel lines or in ara- besque or scroll effect. Cords and tassels of heavy twisted silk trim the model shown in navy blue rajab. This is cleverly finished by a hood on the back of the coatee, continuing its resem- lance to a hooded cape, aud thoroughly in keeping with the capuchin or cordelier iden. Cords and tassels grouped in sets of three or four areapplied on the fronts, and on the kimono sleeve addition, which is not prolonged in this case. The cordelier ornaments reappear on the front panel of the dark blue silk skirt which completes the costame. Box plaits triply inverted afford a type of skirt especially adaptable “'Suip” requires quick thinking. The players seat themselves, a'l but the one who is conducting the game. Pointing his finger at any one he desires, as often as he chooses—yet not too unfairly—the conduc: tor forces that player to respond. He must instantly and rapidly report, in proper suc- cession, four words whose initial letters shall form the word ‘‘Snip,”’ as, for ex- ample, soap, nose, iron, pole. When any one cannot do this or cannot do it swiftly enough, “‘Suit!" is pronounced against him aud be bas to take the place of conductor until he can release himself by trapping a player. Cherry Ripe.—One of the children is “Old Woman" and one is ‘‘Buyer.” All the others are ‘‘Ri pe Cherries.”’ The “Old Woman’ sets ont her wares—the ‘‘Cher- ries’’—in a row to display them, and the ‘‘Buyer’’ comes up. ‘Old Woman, old Woman, what have you today?’ she asks. ‘I've sweet, ripe cherries, Will’t pleas: you to buy?'’ returns the *‘Old Woman." Bat the cautious ‘‘Buyer’’ answers: ‘‘How do I know they are worth the cost? Before I spend, your fruit I'll try.” She pretends to take a bite from each obild. Suddenly she kisses one of them and then runs away, and the kissed child follows. That leaves a vacant position in the row, and the ‘Old Woman’ steps iuto it. If the “Bayer” Jes back to the ‘Old Woman's" place without being canght the ‘Cherry’ that chased her becomes ‘‘Buy- er’ remaine “Bayer” aod the ‘“‘Cherry” becomes “Old Woman."

WILL WED AN HEIRESS Francis Potter, Diplomat, and Miss Gwendolin Carey Engaged. i Uniontown, Pa., June 18.—Francis Petter, nephew of Bishop Potter and | secretary of the American legation at | Lisbon, will marry in London in July! &n estate worth millions. ! Mrs. William H. Playford, her grandmother, announced the engage- ment. At the birth of Gwendolin the mother dled, and State Senator Play- ford, of Uniontovn, the grandfather, took the child. Four years later the father, having inherited a fortune, de- manded the little girl, but the grand- father would not give her up. When Carey went to seek her the old sena- tor personally secreted her in a hut in the mountains, where for five weeks he eluded pursuit. Senator Playford died from exposure endured during the “kidnapping” of the baby. Miss Carey will inherit the entire Playford estate, which is one of the largest in this section of Pennsylva- nia. VITRIOL IN RIVAL'S FACE Burned and Disfigured By Woman | For Life. | York Pa., June 17.—Jealous of a fan- cied attention paid by her husband to Cora Crouse, a pretty 20-year-old em- burns which will disfigure her for life. The woman, clumsily disguised by an old wrapper and sunbonnet, worn over a street costume, waited for an hour upon the street until the girl passed. Tearing off the girl's hat, Mrs. Mec- Courtney, it is averred, grasped her by the halr with one hand and dashed the fiery fluid from a bottle with the other over the girl's face and head. Some of the vitriol was thrown by | the woman upon Andrew Clinch who | went to the girl's assistance, and his left arm was severely burned. The! girl's bair is burned from her head! and her face is disfigured. She is in the hospital. Mrs. McCourtney es-! cape. BEES HOLD UP TRAFFIC Swarm of Insects Create Excitement! in Baltimore Shopping District. { Baltimore, June 18.—A swarm of} bees settled in Lexington street, near | Howard, in the centre of the retail dis-| trict, and interrupted traffic for a { time. The insects attached themselves to an awning, forming a solid mass about a foot in thickness, which hung over the middle of the sidewalk. A large crowd gathered, the police were! summoned and advice as to the best | methods of capturing the bees was freely offered. Finally a man climbed upon a stepladder and brushed the bulk of them into a box with his bare hand. A merchant in the neighbor hood, wishing to get rid of the re mainder, got a long pole and began to stir them up. The bees moved in a lively manner, as did also the crowd. Where the bees came from is not known, but their presence in the heart of the city was a most unusual cir cumstance. PICKNICKERS RUN DOWN One Killed, Six Injured on New Jersey Grade Crossing. Camden, N. J, June 17.—Petro Mar- cello, aged 12 years, was killed and six | of his companions were injured at city line, when an Atlantic City express train on the West Jersey and Seashore railroad, struck and demolished a wa- gon filled with members of the Sylva- nic Social, of Philadelphia. The pick- nickers were returning from an outing at Oaklyn, when the wagon was run down. John Ashley, John Ashley, jr., John Gaunt, Miles Burke, William Bohr and Benjamin Marcello were in- jured in the accident, all suffering from contusions and lacerations of the head and body. The accident was due, it is said, to the fact that there was no flagman at the crossing. FOUND NO GRAFT But Jersey Probers Discovered a Lot of Carlessness. Trenton, N. J, June 15.—It was an- nounced that the probing of the state departments was at an end for the time. There were four days for the committee to prepare its report to the legislature, which reconvenes next Wednesday. The probers say that their investigation has not uncovered evidence of graft that they had ex- pected to find. There has been a reve- lation of careless methods in the man- agement of two or three commissions, but no discovery has been made of stealing or extravagant use of public money. Girl Killed By Electric Light Champaign, Ill, June 17.-—~Grace Dil. lion, 18 years old, was almost instantly killed by an electric shock from an incandescent light bulb. Her sister, Bertha, in an adjoining room, heard ner scream .and found the girl lying on the floor. The thumb and fourth finger of the left hand were burned, the finger being cooked to the bone. There was also a burn on the great toe of the right foot, where the current left the body to a register on which she stood, and which formed a ground circuit. No Race Suicide About Charlotte. Charlotte, Tenn., June 18.—This city and the surrounding country claim the record for big families. J. N. Par- rotte has 16 sons and two daughters; Pitts Powers has 13 children and Alex- ander Cunningham has 14. These are fair samples. Every family has at least eight members. ANCIENT ATHENS. Sanqueting In the Grecian City In the Time of Plato. In Professor T. G. Tucker's “Life In Ancient Athens” the author gives this as a picture of a typical banquet In that city in the time of Plato: “When | Miss Gwendolin Carey, of this city, an ! ty 2 nto ! heiress with a romantic history and | all are in place the servants come round with a vessel, from which they pour water over the hands of the guests. There are brought in small tables, light and ornamental, one of which is set down before esch couch for two persons, and on these are placed the several dishes as they come in order. The tables are lower than the couches, so that the right hand ean reach down easily to them. Knives and forks there are none. The food is taken up with the fingers. It is true that in dealing with very soft foods or gravies or in extracting things from shells spoons were not unknown, but usually the fingers were assisted : by pleces of bread hollowed out for the purpose. It is clear that there was plenty of room for neatness and daint!- ness in handling food, and it was no | small advantage to have fingers not | too sensitive. “There were no napkins. Portions of soft bread, often especially prepared for the purpose, were used for wiping the fingers and were afterward thrown to the dogs which might be present to catch them; but, apart from the dogs, it may be something of a shock to learn that the floor, which was, of course, without a carpet, was the re ceptacle for shells, bones, peelings and other fragments, whick' were, however, swept out at a given stage of the proceedings. Conversation meanwhile must be general. The first half of din- ner consists of substantials, particu- larly fish and birds, eels (if they could be got), comparatively little meat (such as beef, lamb and pork) and vegetables dressed to a degree of which we should hardly approve with oil, vinegar, honey 4 and sauces. “During this part of the meal wine is not drunk. The Athenians kept thelr drinking as separate as possible from their eating, Water is then brought round again, hands are washed, the tables are carried out, the floor fis! swept, a chant is sung to the accom: * paniment of the flutes, a libation of | wine is poured out to the words ‘to the {| good genius’ or ‘to good health,’ and | the second part of the banquet begins. | The tables are brought In again, and what we call dessert was for this rea- son called by the Athenians ‘the sec- ond table’ On these are placed fruits, fresh and dried; salted almonds, sweet: meats, cheese and salt.” THE HOME DOCTOR. To cure nose bleeding, tle a string very tightly around the small part of the thumb below the knuckle. Half a teaspoonful of table salt dis. solved in a half glassful of cold water will give instant relief in case of heart: burn. People with poor digestion should drink no water with meals, but take a glassful half an hour before and drink plentifully an hour or so after each meal, To inhale steam from a bowl of boll ing water is very good for a sore throat. The sufferer should lean over the steam, drawing it in both throat and nostrils. Many cases of indigestion, headache, neuralgia, cold hands and feet can be quickly cured by drinking slowly one or two pints of water so hot that it almost burns the throat. Warts may be entirely removed by washing the bands two or three times a day with the water in which pota- toes have been boiled or by bathing the wart several times with potato water. Where Do the Cents Go? Nobody knows what becomes of the millions on millions of cents that are minted annually, the production vary- ing from 25,000,000 to 90,000,000 per annum. They simply vanish from sight and are gone forever. The phe- nomenon seems strange and is not eas- ily accounted for. People say, “What becomes of all the pins?” That is easily answered. Pins soon corrode, and thus are transformed into nothing that is recognizable. A copper cent, on the other hand, is indestructible, com- paratively speaking. But the solution of the problem seems to be that cents are subject to more accidents than any other coins. They change bands ten times as often as dimes, for example, and, being of small value, they are not cared for.—Los Angeles Times. A Brotherly Act. Admiral Lord Charles Beresford com- saved by a mule which fell dead upon him. When the square had been re- formed and the Arabs were repulsed, Lord Charles wns rescued. He locked at the mule for a moment and then re- marked gratefully, “Now, that poor beast did what I should call a brother- act.” A Sight. “Do you know, I saw some markable just now,” observed a to a friend In front of the - change in Broad street, “What was it?” “I saw no fewer than five f the financial district Ww and avery one of them had his in his own pockets.”—New York A Difficulty.
