9CRIBBLINQ ON EIFFEL TOWER. slant a. Pun. Vrs and Senti ment of Many Sort In Many LanguagM. Big as tli Eiffel tower i", it is too circumscribed for the people who insist upon writing their narus and record ing their impressions on its iron frame work. They have used up all the arail able space. All the girders, beams, protection rails and rivet heads within reach bear the literary contributions of many thousand visitors. The tower is a' gigantic cosmopolitan registry of names. Pel wee a 13.003 and 20,000 lople ascend it every day, and rnont of them consider it their duty to add to Hie collection. The Figaro newspaper kepa a visitor' books at its rrtntiog office on the second fioor to accommo date visitors whi have not the dvire or who cannot find the space to scribble on tr.e ironwork. The writltir left Is in as many lan guages as :here are nationalities among Hie visitors, but the niot-t interesting contributions coma from the native French. A Frenchman prows naturally into the opinion that France Is the fountain of prvgrtss, civilization and everything else. This opinion remains his principal article of faltb through ' i,r especially when his life is confined to France. When he mounts the Eiffel tower, by means of American elevators, lie is more than ever convinced of the uuiveral mpremncy of France, lie burst out into uncontrollable tits of patriotism. "Glory to the noble France." writes one after his name. "Honor to French genius," savs another. "Having mounted the tiffrl tower. I am proud of being French," write M. M.uwon. 1 will name my next daughter Eiffel Ine," says a Bordeaux engineer. One, M. Goulouv, apostrophizes thus: "French genius, thou wilt always be the first in the world:" and a patriotic MareiUas left this record: "Long live la graud France, the birthplace of Civ ilization of the entire world." Some of the visitors drop Into poetry, and perpetrate bad puns at the expense of the lower. "What height is the tailor who has forgotten his measure and alts down on the third platform of the tower?" is common calembour which one left. 1 he answer, of course, is that he is silting suns ru-tre, or at cent (l'JU) metre. This next, of the same style, was addressed to the silk wearers o' I.vons: "The Lyonese may on tent tlicin-eUea, for as often as they ascend the LiOVl tower they wilt ee all Paris en pas le sole In silk stockings, or underneath, us p.is de soie usually are. The punsters, as they would say, oniet tnira rl to the situation, but puna and bail poetry are not improved upon bv translation. M. Nslller, or the U rani Opera.wrltes: "I with that my voice rose as hlgii as the tower." laidor troMschniidt, a preaudlgitateur: "I have found my master pour les tours" (.for tricks), and an Italian confess that "at 1,001 feet 1 can find nothing to wr te which would be up to the situation Aquello em pego." A DuU-hnian leaves this neat compliment behind him: "The tower Is not so high as our esteem for France," and a Spaniard suys: "The Tower of Babel separated ptoples by the confusion of tongues, and the Eiffel tower reunites them." More than one thinks this very clever: "1 never thought 1 would occupy such a lofty position In lire." The tower makes a fworable im pression on lovesick OrLiudos, who scrawl sentimental messages to their Rosalinds whenever ttey get the chance. To her who hasn't come. Paul. Jeannie, ma cherie; f ron the top of the tower; send thee a kiss. Alphonse. I think of thee, Adeo aide. These are samples ot the messages left. They are all written in the second person the usual French lover's style. Catholic priests are not above record ing their Impressions. They write in Latin. "O, altitudo!" exclaims the cure cf Villeparisis, in Seice-et-Marrie. "Magnificat anima mea lominum," ays a priest from Meuse. Another excels the in all with his "Gloria In excelais Deo." What to do to Make Money. One difficulty in tho way of woman's work arises from the false pride which forbids that a woman should do auiiht for tho maintenance of the family. Her own housework she may do, be it ever so hard; but let her do any outside work and the world begins to chatter. Now it yoa wish to earn money, the first thing to do is to put your pride in your pocket and keep it there. I'o not like the old lady selling hot crum pets hope no one will hear you! You want to lie n -ard. I copie must know that you have something they desire, whether it be skill, time, or merchan dise, before they will purchase it. 1 have been at some pains to learn what a few are actually doing to add to ttieir incomes; believing that illustra tions from life are better than from the imagination, and though I can otTer nothing positively attractive, still I feel sure that any of the example I give may be followed by others to good pur pose. Nora Kay was a voung wife with plentr of time, a pinxl plain seamstress, and. Laving been used to an active life preferred it to one of half idleness. She had a natural aptness for dressmaking, so she paid ten dollars for a chart and instructions in htting, and nndertHk to make her neighlor' every -day dres ses, having too much seuse to attempt a ailk or an elalsirate party dress at nrst. Sh made it a point to te accom modating, did what sewing her custom ers required, charged moderate prices, and in the first year made ninety dol lars. After a time, she hired the most of her own work done, and even em ployed extra help at dressmaking dur ing the bnsy season. Mrs. Gray was a born shopper. She never went to the citv that her neigh bors did not send by lier for purchase, because she suited them so well, they said. She could always tell a barium, and it is astonishing how many bargains may be found in a city, if one has her eyes open. Mrs. Gray's taste run par ticularly to millinery. One day while in the city she saw an immense lot of hat and bonnets for sale at a chilling apiece. After a little thought she re solved upon a venture, and selected fifty of the prettiest of them. Then she hunted up rillon and flowers to corres pond, and added other bargains such a real torchon iace at one cent a yard and many little things upon which she more than doubled her money, besides paying expenses. On 9 bargain morel must tell you of. She found on the silk counter of a large establishment, a piece of magenta silk at twenty-live cant a yard. It was pure silk and a beautiful piece, but ts color was against it. She took it til, carried it to a first-class dye house, and for two dollars had it colored a beautiful garnet; then she sold it for sixty cents a ruil and cleared several dollars by the trans action. Another woman made a tidy little in come by crocheting sicWs, hoods, and other garments. Sometimes, orders for perhaps a half a dozen hoods would come by mad from mile away. They were hand made, durable andpietty and found a realy mm Wet. She also made wristlets for men, scarfs, and fajey mittens. She obtained her yarns at wholesale pr.oes. Another woman bought farmer's yarn and knit old-faahiond striped mittens, which, though not paying so wall, still 4vid twenty -live dollars W box pott, which to her represented many added! comforts.

It is not so many years since, I in the rural districts, homespnn clothes were pood enongh for anybody, and J she, when a child, had helped jnrand- mother weave.

Ox lias only to hear the children of any family sjx-ak to know what langu age is used by their sufenora It is not necessary "to study the rule and principles of rrunimur in order to be a correct sje:iker. It is habit, and one that is acquired from early infancy. Of course the study of grammar is a great help to a proer nse of words and ex pressions, a it gives reason why such and such words are used in a particular aenae. Hut it is not an uncommon thing to hear educated men and women who should know better, make grave mistakes in the use of Inn gu age. It cannot W Wcause they are ignorant of the principles of grammar, since they are alwavs able to correct them?lve after a little thought. It must be, then, that they have ai-custorued themselves since childhood to a certain set of ex pressions, which will cling t them through life utiles a great effort is made to rid themselves of them. Par ents have the means in their power of rendering their little one good gram matical sjieakers. If fathers and moth ers would use sensible language in talk- , ing to their babies when they are first learning to speak, the child would never know any ltter and would speak cor rectly just as easily as it would incor rectly. For instance, in the use of per sonal tronouns almost everv child will say "me wants a piece of bread and butter" instead of "I want," etc., and very ofteu they use no personal pro noun, but their own name. I have al ways heard it said that it waa almost an ' imjsjssibiLty to teach little ones the use of pronouns, but that is no reason why . we, as mothers, should not try. I know I ersonally of cases of children only three years of age who do use pro- n.nns, and generally in the proer place. Of course a great many mis takes are made daily, but if they are I corrected every time they are made, I the children will naturally fall into the . habit ot expressing themselves in a pro- I per manner, and take pride in it, too. j Adi one wno nas naa mt experience with children knows that it is a com mon thing to hear from the lips of girls and boys of perhaps ten or twelve vearsfi f age, such e.pressions as "I knowed it," "I seen it," "Hain't got nothing," "He bring it," and all the forms of the verb to lie are generally used in some wrong manner. It takes time and patience to stop them when ever they make a mistake, but it will save a great deal of labor for them afterwards, and afford us a large amount of present gratification. Tell the child to repeat the proper expres sion after you, and after one or two repetitions of correction, they will not be apt to make the name error again. Children make use of expressions that they hear at home, and if their elders always nse good language, tho little ones "will do the same. Some mothers have an idea that any affection for the baby cannot be expressed in good language, but they must tell their love in what is known as baby talk. Although it sounds very cunning for a while, it soon loses its charm, especi ally when the child is three or four veiirs old, and we wish then that we Lad talked to them in a proper manner. and had done all that we possibly could to make them correct speakers. It is a raritv and also a great pleasure to have a child of five or six and sometimes even older seak so as to he understood by any one. Parents leave too much to teachers, thinking that all errors will le rectified when under their charge. But habits of several years" standing are hard to break, and a child ulio says "I seen" during childhood will W apt to use the expression when fully matured. I know of many cases of ladies who use this and similar phrases, simply from force of habit, not from ignorance. They are conscious of having used a wrong word, and have often leen mortified for so doing. Grown np people who use wrong words hould put a watch upon themselves. and make np their minds to use only correct language. And how much eas ier it will Ik; for our boys and girls, when they are men and women, if we have instilled into their minds only the projxT forms of language, so that speak ing correctly will le as natural to them as eutiug their dinners. A. Origin of me Name Tacoma. It may be added that the word Taco ma was never known till Theodore Win throp s remarkable book, "The Canoe an.l the Saddle," appeared in November, li;j. says the Portland 1rrrnian. In ls.72 WmtUrop went to Panama for William L. Aspinwall, and visited Cali fornia and Oregon the next year. In August 1"vj3, be was at I'uget sound, and reolved to return to the east across the plains. His book, written in a some what sophomorical style, but remark able for its poetic, imaginative and des cript.vepassages, give an account of his voyage with Indians in a canoe through i'uget Sound and his horseback ride over the Cascade mountain from Xesqually to the Dalles, with Indian guides. In this book the great moun tain gets the name of "Tacoma." Wm throp professes to have obtained the name from his Indian guides, and ho gives his imagination play in a super natural legend of the mountain. It is probable that the name "Tacoma" was a result of his effort to reproduce or imitate a word given him by his guides, who were Takima Indians, and that the word was a common one used by these Indians as a term for all snow white mountain peaks. The name of the city of Tacoma was taken bv its founders from Winthrop a book. Winthrop was killed at Big Bethel, Va-, early in the war of the rebellion, and "The Canoe aud Saddle," with other books he had writUn. and which evidently had lain some time in his desk, waa published immediately after his death.

FABM NOTES. Faaatrso as a Profession. Too "little attention ha; been paid to the fact that agriculture is a profession, requlr Ine as much skill and preparation to se cure the best result as civil engineer ing or the professions of law or medi cine It has been erroneously supposed that anybody could become a farmer. An impression has existed that the cul ture of the soil is degrading, and that it affords no chance for an ambitious yonng man to gain an honorable position hi follows. It is only too true that manv who till the land are un skilled, and- thus unfitted for their work. This, however, is no reflection upon the work itself. The hundreds of worn out farms that can be found in every Eastern State call loudly for bright young men, well equipped ment ally, morally, and physcally; young men who have a love for life in the open air, and a keen interest in Nature. These farms have been run down by lack of skill in cultivation. n nthnr calling can afford more ad vantages or comforts than farming. Yet, as a class, farmers are over-worked, poorly fed (or, more correctly, im propetly fed, since their tables contain an abundance; but, too commonly of food i hat does not nourish), poorly paid and frequently., isolated from the world. . , All this is unnecessary and largely me re ult of ignoiance. What would be thought of a man wha should go into court to conduct a ca--e who had never looked into a law bookT Cr. how would a man be regarded who tdiould undeitake a sugical operation when en tirely ignorant of anatomy I 1 hat but failure can be ei-ected when a man enters upon any business witliout full preparation and knowledge of the sub ject? There are 1,MW of boys who will enter upon this work. They may gain from it pleasure, profits, and the honor which comes to skilled workmen in any profession. In the first place, a farmer needs to be educated as thoroughly as men in other professions. "The race is to the strong," not only in body, but in mind, and mind has far more to do with successful farming than muscle. There axe difference of opinion as to the several courses of study that one pro posing agriculture should best follow. But for those who wish to excel in their calling, a thorough course in a well-eqlpped agricultural college fur nishes, undoubtedly, the best prepara tion. We are well aware that there are many successful and prosperous farmers to be found througliout the land who have never enter .-d the gates of a col lege of any kind, jet, with every suc ceeding year, it becomes more evident that the broader the educational founda tion the better chance there is for signal success in any vocation where mind is powerful over matter. Greenhouse A Window plants. All should be in readiness In both greenhouse and window to allow the plants to be taken in at any time. Have the plants in readiness also. Clean the pots, removing the green growth on their exteriors by scrubbing with sand. Repot those which nexl it, and It will improve all to have a good surface-dressing of fresh soil. Hu'.bi for wiuter blooming may be lotted and placed in a dark place until the pots are rilled with roots. llan-jmg lUuktts should be filled but not taken indoors until well estab lished. Sow Annual to secure a supply of flowers for cutting. Supplies. Secure the material re quired for use during the winter; pot-ting-sod, sand, peat or wood's earth, pots, etc. For Uie window garden, a lighted ar is a capital "annex," both as a pot Dug-shed and a storehouse for plants at rest. C'ONDITIOV or THE MANURE.

If the farmer can have his manure by spring, and in a very fine condition, it will pay him to apply it in the spring, provided his teams are not too busy at that time at other work. Late cabbage requires good cultiva tiou. A plot of cabbage that has been worked will grow faster, and produce better heads, than will those that have received a larger supply of manure and the cultavation neglected. The ground around cbbages should never be hard and baked. A good work among the fruit trees cau be done by rubbing off new sprouts that start up where they are not desired and among raspberries, blackberries and grapes, by pinching off the ends of the shoots. Is the Eumelan grape we often Cn that there are seeds in the smaller berries, but it is because the ovules have not been fertilized with pollen, or but sttaringly fertilized, ierhaps, and the fruit is much smaller than the berries. normal Lampas. This is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bars or ridges of the roof of the mouth. It is more frequent in young than in old horses. This interferes with mastica tion of hard and dry food.

The treatment depends in a large desrree upon the use to be made of the room. The wood should be i thoroughly seasoned and laid in narrow strips. For kitchen and common sit- ; ting room, raw linseed oil is the very lest treatment. Hand rubbinz is the ! best method of applying it, but it needs . a great deal of muscular activity. The j next best thing is a stiff brush, such as , comes for this purpose, with an Iron j 1 ark and a long handle. This gives a dull, (.lean finish, and may be applied . as often as the occupant chooses. For j a chamber where a little livelier finish is desirtd after the first dressing of oil take two parts of linseed oil. two parts of alcohol, one part of turpentine and one ounce of ether to a quart of the I mixture, and apply it briskly with a rag. Use this as often as needed. Where a higher finish is wanted wax Hiid turpentine make a good top-dressing, and for a parlor shellac is added. Most of the foreign floors are polished with wax and turpentine. The secret of successful application is a small amount of the dressing and a large amount of elbow labor. HOUSEHOLD.

This enormous cobt seems to have prevented the use of the paint except as a curiosity, and it Is fortunate that a certain firm, named Mahren, at Triesch, in Austria, has found means to produce it and place it on the market at 50 cents a pound, or about one-sixth of tha English price. Even at 5 J cents a pound, a substance coiuiosed of roasted oyster shells and sulphur, we should suppose, be manu factsred at a good profit, but at that price it is likely to come Into extensive use.

The lover of flowers is now interested in increasing her stock as well as keep ing them in a healthy condition, prep aratory to winter. In regarding to roses it may be said that w hile some of the hardy roses can le propagated in the open ground, rooting in pots under a bell glass or similar arrangement of glass is the surer and speedier method for cuttings of Bourbon, Noisette and tea roses. Hybrid perpetual and moss rows are difficult to strike, and an authority on the subject states that they cannot be successfully propagated without some provision f r bottom heat, such as the professional florist applies in propagat ing houses. To make cuttings of geraniums, ver benas, carnations, heliotrope, lantanas or any plants usually propagated by this means, the following plan is recom mended by florist: Take a pan at least three inches deep the circumfer ence may be as large as you wish rill to within one-half inch of top with sand. The cuttings are to be inserted in the sand, which is made very wet, of the consistency of mud. The pan should then be placed where it will re ceive the full light of the sun, which will not injure the plant in the least, provided the sand is kept constantly wet, being careful never to allow it to become dry for a moment, otherwise the plants will be lost. Xo drainage from the pnn is necessary, as the at mosphere will evaporate the water fast enough to prevent any stagnation during the brief time required for the cuttings to take root. A solution made by soak ing tolmcco stems in water and sprayed over the plants will prevent the little green aplrs or plant lice. If mildew apjears on rose bushes, dust them well with sulphur. The use of soapsuds and a brush is an effective remedy for scale bug on ivies. A little white hellebore powder stir red into water and sprinkled upon them at evening will usually keep rose bushes free from insect enemies. One who has tried it says that nothing, not ex cepting hellebore, Paris green, etc., will destroy slugs on robe bushea a i yell as wooa aehaa. Mar TMt.li.
