She has still her white and shapely hanas
with their pink fiIbertlke paik sub
her pleasant smile and square, small
teeth her eyes are bright yet, and II the
upper muscles are little shrunk, the
consequent apparent enlargement of the
orbit only makes them more expressive !;
her ips are not vet withered, her skin ls
not wrinkied. Undoubtedly, when well
dressed and in a favorable light, the ma
ture siren Is as beautiful in her own way
as the girlish belle; and the world knows
it and acknowledges it.
That mature sirens can be passionately
loved, even when very mature, history
gives us more than one example; and the
first name that naturally occurs to one
mind as the type Of this is that of the too
famous Ninon de HEnclos. And NInon,
if trihe mythical, was yet fact and an
example. But not going quite to Nnon
age, we often see women of forty and up
wards who are quite charming, and whom
men love with as much warmth and ten
derness as if they were in the heyday OF
life--women who count their admirers by
dozens, and who end by making a superb
marriage and having quite an Indian
summer of romance and happiness. The
young laugh at this idea Of the Indian
summer for bride of forty-five; but il
is true for neither romance nor happI
ness, neither love nor mental youth, is 8
matter of years and after all we are only
as old as we feel /; and certainly no Older
than we look All women do not harden
by time, nor wither, nor yet corrupt.
Some merely ripen and mellow and gel
enriched by the passage Of the years, re
tanning the most delicate wOmanliness-wt
had almost said girlishness-into quite old
age, and blushing under their gray hairs
while they shrink from anything coarse,
or vulgar, or impure, as sensitively a;
when they were girls. La femme guar
ante ans is the French term for the open
ing of the great gulf beyond which love
cannot pass put human history disproves
this date, and shows that the heart can
remain fresh and the person lovely long
after the age fixed for the final adieu to
admiration, and that the mature siren can
be adored by her own contemporaries
when the rising generation regard her as
nothing better than a chimney-corner
fixture. Mr. Trolloppe has recognized
the claims of the mature siren in his
"Orley Farm" and "A1iss Mackenzie -
and no one can deny the intense natural
ness of the characters and the interest of
the stories.

Two Young ladies In their visit among

\ There are advocates of three theories,
namely. planting in the Fall, IN
early Spring, and late Spring; and again
others have serious objections to any or all
of these plans: one grower says be would
not plant any kind of tree in the fall, on
heavy soil. for the trees viii often be
thrown out by the frost; another says,
that if he were to receive lot OF ever
greens in early spring, he would Immedl-
ately put them out. $500
We have had personal experience
with all these plans. We transplanted
fine lot of evergreens Norway spruce)
in the month of August, as recommended
by the nurserymen, did what we could to
protect them, but when spring came they
were all dead We tried early spring for
planting them, but had the same result;
at last tried the first two weeks In the
month of June, and succeeded admirably.
We transplanted some Hemlock spruce In
the month of September or first OF Octo-
Der, taking care to mulch the roots OF the
trees, after the earth was filed In; these
too have kept well.
Hence, from our own personal expen-
ence, we can safely say that the best time
for transplanting evergreen trees Is be-
tween the 10th of May and the 10Th OF
June; for the hardy eyergreens, the m onth
of September or October is good, taking
mulch the ground well, and particularly
to see that the trees are well packed and
the roots kept moist and unexposed- If
the distance of transportation is quite
short, evergreens may be safely trans
planted as late as the 18th of June; but
If transportation is distant, it is better to
place them in the ground little earlier.
Choose a wet, moist day for digging, and
also for planting. .-Horticulturist.

In Tishomingo county, Mississippi, the

that, for durability and beauty of finish,
they are superior to the article imported

LIME AS A FERTILIzER.-The New
England Farmer says: 'It has been
recommended to sow lime, from five to
twenty bushels per acre, before turning
down. The efficiency of this mineral Is
now too generally well-known to admit of
any question, and in no way, perhaps, is
its application more Immediately benefc-
ial than as an accompaniment for green
crops, when turned in as help for lands
that are poor and light.
Such soils frequently abound in acids.
These are sometimes native to the soil,
and sometimes produced or added to it
by the substances applied as manure. But
whatever may be their origin, they are
speedily neutralized by the use of lime.
The fact is now well understood that all
plants grown for food require lime for the
perfection of their seeds"

AGE OF SHEEP.-The age of sheep
may be known by examining the front
teeth. They are eight in number, and
appear during the first year, all of a small
size. In the Second year, the two middle
ones fall out, and their place is supplied
by two new teeth, which are easily dis
tinguished, being of larger size. In the
third year, two other small teeth, one
from each side, drop out, and are replaced
by two larger ones, SO that there are now
four large teeth in the middle, and two
pointed ones on each side. In the fourth
year, the large teeth are six in number,
and only two small ones remain, one at
each end of the range. In the fifth year,
the remaining small teeth are lost, and
the whole front teeth are large. In the
sixth year, the whole begin to be worn,
and in the seventh, and sometimes sooner,
some fall out and are broken.
