A Curious Dream. My husband was a minister at ft large church in a New England vil lage where he had served several years. One night I had a most curious dream. I seemed to be in front of a long mirror, and reflected in it was the faco of a woman I had never seen before. Sho had light golden hair, while mine was dark, and her whole appearance was different from mine in every way. I remember I thought it peculiar that I should have changed so suddenly. Then I woko up. Tho next night T droamed the same thing again, but while I was standing before the glass tho woman came into the room. I turned aud pointing to the mirror, asked her what it meant. "Oh 1" she said, "that is the way you will look !" Tho following day I told the family about my dream, and they all thought it very strange. A few months after this, as I was walking out of church one Sunday, I passed a pew with a strange lady in it; she turned as I passed, and what was my surprise to see the very face of the lady I had seen in my dream. Six months later my husband died. One afternoon tho maid announced a lady and gentleman to see me. I went down to the parlor and came faco to face with the lady of my dream— the same ono I had seen in church. She introduced her husband, who she said was a minister and who had been chosen rector of that parish. I soon left tho parsonage and my dream partly came true; for this lady did take my place and became mistress of the rectory. —lllustrated American. Strassbiirg's Strange Club.

For animals of this kind the de mand is considerable. The prices paid range from $l5O to S2OO in the local markets, and to the first cost of animal must be added the expense of the trip and the cost of transporta tion. It would seem that our farmers might make money by raising such stock.—New York World. INSECTS ON TREES IN WINTER. A few winter days may be very profitably employed in thoroughly cleansing fruit and shade trees. The fruit and shade may thus be saved, and the appearanoe of the trees during the next summer will be improved. The aim should be in all cases to have clean, healthy, well-fed trees, as these are the least susceptible to insect at tacks. Feeblo or infested twigs or branches should always be cut out promptly as soon as notioed, and in all cases these should be burned to kill any larvse which they may con tain. It will pay to sorub tho bark of all kinds of trees each winter with a stiff brush and the suds of whale oil or other soap, to remove harboring mosses, fungus growths, or other par asitic plant life and to kill the insects wintering in the crevices.—American Agriculturist. A FUTURE FOR MUTTON. There is no doubt that tho mutton sheep has a great future before it. If, despite free trade nnd high rents, the English farmer can find monoy in tho industry, the American, with his un rivaled natural and political advan tages, ought to be able to. It is not true that the English sheep-raiser has any idea of going out of business. The number of sheep in that country has declined, owing to last year's great drouth, but at this year's au tumn sales at the sheep fairs high prices have prevailed. A Lincoln ram was sold for S7GO, and nineteen others of the same breed averagod $l5O each. Another lot of twenty nveraged $l4O eaoh. At a Scotch ram sale one Border Leicester ram brought nearly S6OO, and the two others SSOO each. The same breeder sold thirty-two rams at an average of over S2OO. To be able to pay these prices farm ers must not only have made money heretofore, but they must be satisfied that there is still money to be made, and that it is to be obtained only by the use of the finest rams procurable. The importance of breeding only the best has been too much overlooked in America. We are only slowly realiz ing that it is quality rather than quantity that counts. While we may find that one good animal ma; cost more than sorubs, it will also bring considerably more when marketed, and meantime the greater expense of maintaining two animals must be set off against the original cost.—Col umn's Rural World. KKMEDY FOB SHEEP TICKS. This pernicious insect will soon spread through a flock, and every ad dition to it of purchased sheep should be quarantined, so to speak, with the greatest care, to free it from ticks. When these pests have once taken possession of a flock, no time should be lost in clearing the sheep of them before the winter. Cases have been known in which nearly nil the spring lambs have been tormented and bled to death by ticks, for it may easily be that a hundred of them may be found on one animal, the quantity of blood thus lost, not counting the loss of vi tality by the intolerable annoyance and pain of the bites by such a num ber, may well be imagined as beyond the endurance of a weak animal like a eheep. Doubtless this infiiotion is the cause of the flock not doing well, and the only remedy is to get rid of the pests immediately. A common method is to pour buttermilk along the back of the sheep, and carefnlly guide it down the flanks by the hand, bo that it reaohes every part of the skin. The kerosene emulsion is also an excellent remedy. It is made by dissolving soft or other soap in hot wateT and adding one-fourth the quan tity of kerosene to it; the mixture is well shaken, and kept foi use. When used, it is diluted with five times the quantity of water and well shaken, then used as mentioned for the butter milk. Or the kerosene may be added to the buttermilk, one part to twenty, and the mixture applied as described after a thorough shaking.—New York Times, CULTIVATION Or THE ARTICHOKE. The oommon American, although often erroneously called Jerusalem ar tichoke, is not raised from seed, but from the tubers, these being planted whole or cut into pieces, as frequently practised with potatoes. As the tubers are very hardy, they may be planted in the fall or early spring, and for the first season the cultivation should be the same as with potatoes. It will re quire from six to eight bushels of tubers to plant an acre. The longor tubers may be cut up into three or four pieces, dropping them in drills overy fifteen to twenty inches. The rows or drills should l>e almost four feet apart to admit of cultivation with i horse and cultivator during tho sum mer. Thero should bo no cutting I down of the stalks nor pasturing, as this would check the growth of tubers. Late in the fall turn in the hogs, and they will soon discover the tubers, but will not eat the loaves and stalks. It is a good plan to have a movable fence in order to prevent tho bogs from ruu liitiK all over the field, digging a fow tubers here and there, and not taking them out clean as they go. Ou rich soil artichokes yield enormously, and one aore will fatten twenty-five or thirty hogs, with a few bushels of corn to harden up their flesh at the close of the season. In looalities where the ground does not freeze hard in wni ter, a field of artichokes will be fonnd most excellent food for pigs and swine that are to be kept over as stock ani mals. The artichokes will not spread into adjoining fields, and if yon give the hogs a chance at them you will not need to resort to other means for killing out the plants. The tubers oan usually be obtained at seed stores if orders are sent in early or during the winter months.—New York San. CONSTRUCTION OF A PIT. From a lady skilled in florioulture, writes M. W. Early to Home and Farm, I have obtained the following reliable directions for the construc tion of a pit. "Having successfully tested the virtue and economy of having a pit, says she, "I would sug gest to others the advisability of try ing the same. No one need be ap palled by a fear of any very great expense. I venture to say that the sum of sls will secure a good pit, pro vided a few necessary precautions are taken in the struotnre. Six feet is amply deep. Choose a warm, sunny spot as little shaded by trees as pos sible, on the southern side of tho lot. Begin by laying off tho ground, nine feet by fourteen. These dimensions will furnish a pit large enough to hold more flowers than one person can attend to out of a pit, and leaves room for any vegetable whioh you may wish to start either by slip or seed earlier than a cold frame or hot bed would enable you to do. Indeed, thero is no safer and more convenient plan for having early tomato plants than to raise them in a pit. They are far more forward than any you at tempt to raise in tho house, and it is a great saving of trouble to have them in tho pit." After the pit is dug it is a good plan to dig a little hole or well, threo feet deep and three feet square, to hold the water whioh rises after rains or snows, and which is apt to produce mould or mildew in the flowers, especially those on the lower tiers. This hole being dry, the next thing is the frame or woodwork, and this re quires about a day's work from a car penter. Tho frame should be three or four feet above ground at tho back, and should have a slop of at least two feot from top to bottom. Be very careful to have the planks tight and close. Have a double casing of the frame made after the four posts are secured to the cornors nnd a frame nailed to the outside. An inside casing will give a neater finish to the job and keep out any littlo cold which might forco its way in. It is an ex cellent plan to fill up the casing with saw dust. Be very careful to see that the frame for the sashes of glass is ar tight a fit as possible. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Go into winter quarters with as many young bees as possible. Most gardon vegetables are gross feeders, for whom the soil can hardly be made too rich. To know what to do and to do it in time, after tbo hive is selected, is to succeed in beekeeping. Florida truckers whoso crops were destroyed by the storms aro turning their attention to planting strawber ries. Opening a furrow so as to drain off water into the nearest ditch will save many plants being thrown out by the frost. Lettuce plants in the greenhouse should now be making good growth. Prevent the appearance of green fly by the free use of tobacco dust while the plants are yet small. It is said that the colors in dried flowers may be preserved by pressing the plants between paper previously saturated with a one per cent, oxalio acid solution and then dried. It is said that if cabbages are put close together, with the roots deep in the ground, and a furrow of earth turned over them, they will keep bet ter than when the heads are turned down. A mess of cooked turnips given onoe a day is said to be axoellont in in creasing the growth of young animals. The turnips are not very nutritious, but they are appetizing and form a change from the usual dry food. There is hardly a farm on which there are not more or less worthless fruit trees which could bo changed into dessrable ones by top grafting. Mark such trees before it is forgotten, and prepare grafts during the winter for setting on in the spring. Land that is unproductive is not [ necessarily exhausted. The elements of fertility may lie in the soil, but in an unavailable form. Leguminous plants will bring it nitrogen from the air, and a crop of manure may supply sorao simple element to makeaproper balance in its constituency. Don't be in too great a hurry to dispose of your fruit, and especially superior apples. Those who have fa cilities for keeping fruit can make a much larger profit by holding their choice products for the higher prioes that can be obtained later in the season. All garden land should now bo well manured and plowed, but not har rowed, as it is better to leava tbj sur face rough for the froßt to act upon. Tho soil cannot bo made too rioh or too well pulverized, and ground now laid ont for gardening next season should be putin the best oondition possible. Energotio measures have been taken in Paris to put a stop to the coloring of lobsters and crayfish at the great central markets. Pots of red paint linvu been seized and venders of too I brilliant-looking shellfish have been | prosecuted for fraud by adulteration.

Wipe the quinces, ent them in quar ters, and remove the skins and cores. Weigh them, and allow an equal weight of sugar. Cover with cold water and as soon as it begins to boil, putin a little of the sugar. Do not stir them, but press them down under the syrup, and remove the scum. Add the sugar by degrees until it is all in the kettle. Let them boil slowly until perfectly tender and of good color. Drain them well as you take them out, and pack in the jars, then fill up with boiling syrup and seal. Tho syrup that is left may be boiled longer, then strain into glasses, and you will have jelly. This is thought by many to be the very best way of preserving quinces. —American Agriculturist. AN APPIJS OMELET. An apple omelet is an appetizing luncheon dish or entree at dinner. Stir in a basin two tablespoonfnls of flour, a pinoh of salt and one of sugar, two whole eggs, with two yolks in ad dition, a tablespoonful of melted butter and nearly a half pint of milk. Pare, core, quarter and mince four good-sized apples. Saute them over a brisk fire in very hot butter, shaking them woll, and when they are quite hot through, pour over them the above mixture, making it spread all over tho bottom of the pan: prick with a fork; add (close to the edges) two tablespoonfnls butter, melted, and rook the pan vigorously to prevent sticking. When the omelet detaches itself cleanly, spriuklo with moist sugar and turn it over bodily onto a hot plate; butter the pan once again and slip the omelet back, just to allow tho sugar, which is now at the bottom, to glaze slightly. Sprinkle with sugar, turn out again, and serve very hot.—New York Time 3. A TALK ON HOUSEKEEPING . The first thing in the day's kitchen work shonhl be the airing that should bo given that apartmont in the morn ing. This can bo dono while the fire is being lighted. Tho fire should al ways bo laid tho night before ready for the match and should never bo allowed to burn all night as is the general custom-«-a ctstom which wastes coal and wears out the range. While the range is heating, the kitchen should be lightly dusted, after which tho breakfast should be pre pared. Breakfast over,all the utensils and dishes used in cooking should be washed and left on the rango to dry. Then tho range should be brushed, and the greasy places rubbed with stove polish; mats should bo shaken and the floor swept, and the kitchen dusted thoroughly. Then the sink should bo washed with soda and a stiff brush (this should be done after each meal), allowing no refuse togo down tho waste pipe. Afterward come the dish cloths, which should be washed out in hot soap suds daily, and boiled twioo a week. This is most important for sanitary reasons. No soiled dishes should be allowed to stand; they Bhould be scraped and washed as soon as possible after each meal, and set in order before pro ceeding to other work. When the last meal of the day is over tho kitchen should be putin order, the utensils washed, all food sorted and put away in the ice box and closet, the tables scoured, the ashes taken away from the range and the hearth brushod up. A list of tho duties expected of n cook clearly written out and hung up on the wall will greatly facilitato mat ters, and prevent misunderstanding. By practicing a little gentle firmness at the outset it is oasy to train a new cook into "your ways," and she will like you better and stay with yon longer if you insist upon making her work easy for her in spite of herself. —Milwaukee Journal.

Cood Wife, You Need SAPOLIO The Story ol the Thumbs. "If you will allow me the Hibernic isra," said a yonng lady of observation, "I would like yon to note for me that the true index finger is the thumb. I do not mean that from the length of its phalanges you can find out whether there is a blonde divinity or a brunette fate awaiting yon, or that from its spatulatod or oval nail I can tell whether you like pictures or horse races—all that sort of digital conjur ing I leave to the palm mysticists. But what I do mean is that the thumb is a remarkable indicator of its owner's bodily and mental condition. "The new-born babe holds its thumbs in the palms of its hands, clenched in its little fists, and it is only when the mind and body both ex pand that it takes its thumbs out and holds them up as independent organs. What deep connection there may be between this fact and our simian an cestry I cannot say. Let mothers watch their children's thumbs, and if they stick out boldly it is an unfailing indication of good health and aggres sive disposition, whilo if they have a tendency to seek the shelter of the fingers it means feeble health and sub servient will. "Just notico the thumbs of your friends now, and you will 3ee the same relations between their iiosture and the man's constitution of mind and body. The conditions are simplicity itself; the weak man's thumb is weak and pendant, the strong man's thumb is strong and erect. The parallelism is BO marked that you can tell from a glance at a man's thumbs whether he is an aimless thinker or a man who carries his ideas, or somebody else's, into action. "It may bo treachery to my sex, but I don't mind telling you that it will be a good thing for you fellows to mark well the thumbs of the ladies of your choice. If the girl's thumb, be it ever so prettily rosy, has a tendency to stand at right angles to the hand— well, the gray mare will need a bit, that's all, while if it lies flat, or droops a little, you can count on marital sub mission to the master inind, and that's the sort of domestic paradise all you sons of Adam are looking for, isn't it? "With the waning of the powers of frame and brain pot comes the depres sion, I had almost said the recession, of thumb, and whether in senility or idiocy the thumb is always turned in. And then, when you turn your face to the wall and know no more summer's heat ncr winter's cold, those thatstand about you and say : 'Well, poor old chap, he's gone at last,' will find that ycu have tucked your thumbs away in the shelter of your hands, just as you had them when yoa were a little baby."—New York Sun.
