FRIENDSHIP, LOVE AND TRUTH..

At the celebration of the ffty-fourth ami
versary of American Odd Fellowship by MI
w4ukee Lodge, No. 2. on Monday night, three
ministers stated that Odd Fellowship had
accomplished more good since its origin IN
this country than all the churches put to-
sether. In 1928 there were 568 members-in
1871 It multiplied to 324 ,947-having during
that time expended 81. 600 0OO, fourth of
which was used for charitable purposes. A
true Odd Fellow Is ever ready to extend the

FERTILIZING PROPERTIES IN
BONES.

The true value of bones, aside from
their Importance in the arts of handles,
rings, paints, clarifying sugar, &C., is
fast beginning to be appreciated in this
country. People were Mortified few
years since by the published accounts of
the tons of human bones transported from
the battlefield of Waterloo, to be ground
and spread over the worn-out lands of
Europe. From time immemorial it has
been known that vegetation. and partic-
ularly trees, thrive immensely in grave
yards. Now, it is neither the gelantic
nor glue that holds the particles of bone
together, nor the lime of which they are
composed, which gives activity, to veg
etable growth alone. but the phosphorus
in them-that infamable material of
which matches are manufactured--kn
in the combination as phosphate of lime,
that plants seize upon with avidity as
food. Nothing else within the reach Of
agricultural experience SO rapidly de-
velops the cellular structure.
To be most useful, bone should be
pulverized, and that enables water to
make quicker solution of the phosphate

LADY FLUTR-PLAYERS.

A fashion of comparatively recent
period has returned in greater force than
it was ever before displayed, and that is
fute-playing by amateurs. 1t is per-
feet rage just now, and not alone with
young gentlemen, but with young ladies
also. 1t must be confessed that it does
look little startling when two or three
young ladies arrive at an evening party
carrying their flute cases, and in due
course of time. proceed to take the flutes
put them together, and favor the COM
pany with some specimens Of their skill.
But being present on one or two such
occasions the edge is pretty we'll wore
off ones surprise, and female fute-play-
ers have no longer power to astonish even
the most unsophisticated of country
cousins, SO much is habit second nature.
The improvements which of late years
have been. made in flutes have done much
to bring them into fashion again, and
have certainly been the means of bring
ing them within the compass of femi-
nine fingers. The delicate covering of
the holes, on which so much of the tone
depended, is a thing of the past for the
keyed flutes obey the will of the musi-
clans by the mechanical inventions with
much greater accuracy thai ever was
obtainable on the old instrument. The
fourth finger of a lady would have beer
her stumbling block formerly now sht
is no longer troubled with any fear as
to failure from its size or weakness, the
instrument maker having rendered hel
independent.

There is kind of lies called white
lies" that are very common, and though
they do not do as much harm, are often
quite as disagreeable as other lies. The
habit of Dragging and exaggerating is to
be as heartily condemned as any form of
lying. White lies are told for self glo-
rifcation, and they show the liar to be
a moral bankrupt; but they are un-
profitable as when they are discovered
the person can never gain back the es-
TEEN of the world. Lying in business
may occasionally be successful, but the
man who uses such means becomes the
attorney of the devil, and he cannot en-
joy to any great extent his ill-gotten
gains. Tell the truth always.

STIRRING THE SOIL.

Stirring the soil during the growing
season cannot be done too often, provid-
ed it is not wet enough to pack. As an
antidote to droughts it is unrivalled. A
man who can stir the soil every day
about his plants and trees, can virtually
defy drought. The operation seems to
create moisture, or at least to attract it,
both from the subsoil and atmosphere.
The weeds of course have no chance
under such system, and the mois-
ture they would require and take,
take goes to purpose ''where it will do
most good" Horse culture is the cheap
est mode, but in gardens too small for
horse culture, hand culture must be de-
pended on. The difference in effect be-
tween frequent and occasional stirring
will astonish those who have not before
observed it. An instance was in print
some time ago which will illustrate it,
though, as fact, 1t may be mythical.
Two neighbors with small patches of
corn got up friendly rivalry as to
which should grow the most per acre,
and put up small wager. One of them
determining to leave nothing undone in
the way of culture and weed fighting
hoed his patch once week regularly
He was, after little while, a good deal
surprised to notice that his corn wa.
falling behind, although he never saw
his neighbor at work. The latter now
and naturally enough the former, asked
chow he did it, volunteering the state
ment at the same time that he "hoed hi
corn every week until it had tassele(
out" The successful grower replied
81 hoed mine every morning before yo1
got out of doors p There was no fur
ther need of explanation.
The man who has plenty of muscl
and time, and little or no money to ex
pend on fertilizers, Will find that fire
quent stirring of the soil will go lon
: way to supply the absence of fertilizers
In fact, culture without manure is wort
much more than manure without GU
ture. When both can be discreetly az
piled it is advisable, but when choic
must be made, l shall always choos
culture. d. T. F.

CoLoRED DRESSES.

1t is not often that we find scientific
items of any especial degree of interest
to the members of the fair sex who may,
perchance, glance over our pages; but
now we believe we have got one which
must be simply absorbing. Probably,
madam or miss, you are the possessor of
a summer dress, made from some white
diaphanous material and it may also
be imagined that during your shopping
you have inspected goods of similar ma
ture, only of varying colors, from which
you have purchased material to construct
number of those bewitching garments,
in comparison with the intricacies of
which the most elaborate works of engi-
neering furnish no parallel. Now a
learned German professor has invented
a plan whereby your single white dress
may be changed to any color you may
fancy, as often as you desire, and this
in your own laundry, SO that hereafter
the money you would devote to several
robes of varying hues may be entirely
saved, while you may appear daily, if
you choose, in toilets of totally different
complexion.
The process is very simple. and con-
sists in merely coloring the starch used
in the 'doing up" Suppose a white
dress is to be tinted beautiful crimson
three parts fuchsin, an aniline color
which any chemist can easily procure
for you, are dissolved in twenty parts of
glycerine, and mixed in a mortar with a
little water. Then ordinary starch, fine
ly pulverized, is stirred in, and the thick
mass obtained is poured out and dried
on blotting paper. The powder thus
obtained is used just the same as CON-
mon starch, and SO applied to the fab
ric. When the latter is dry, it is slight
ly sprinkled and pressed with a moder-
ately warm iron.
By means of other coloring materials
mixed as above described, any desired
tint may be obtained. We should coun
sci, however, an avoidance of damp 10.
calities, and strongly deprecate going
out in the rain, as we doubt the "fast
ness" of the dye, and would not be a
all surprised to behold the carmen
shortly assume rather streaked and re
bra-like appearance Scientific Anaert
can.

TRUTH.

No one moral quality is so generally
as truth; yet no vice is so
common as that of untruthfulness, and
no virtue so rare as strict honesty in all
statements. The temptation to false
hood never ceases, as all untruths are
uttered and practiced in the attempt to
avoid personal responsibilities of some
sort. When we speak of matters in
which we are not personally interested
in any way, we speak truthfully, thus
showing that truth, and not falsehood, is
most natural, and that it is only selfish
motives that lead US to prevaricate. No
body steals water or air, because they
are common to all and there is no in
ducement offered SO no one would lie if
it were not to accomplish some given
end.
A great deal of unintentional false
hood creeps into the world, from simple
carelessness and inattention to state
ments made in casual conversations, and
few realize the value of the ability at
all times to make clear, sharp.edged, &C
curate statements of the events of life.
With desire to speak the truth at all
times we should observe things more
carefully in order to acquire this ability.
Indifference and want of concern in the
interests of humanity, produce nearly as
much i'll as deliberate lying.
There is often tendency in children
to deceive their parents. This arises
from the difficulty of turning States ev-
idence against themselves and owning
the fault committed when they expect a
punishment to follow. Judicious pa
rents will not ask too many questions Of
their children, and will cultivate a con-
venient blindness toward many of theil
actions, for it is far better to overlook
many faults than by an attempt at then
discovery to give the child chance tc
lie in order to escape the consequences
of an acknowledgement of the fault.
In dealing with truth in children, thu
hereditary tendencies towards exaggera
ton, and the nature of the child in re
gard to its imagination should be con
sidered, and these tendencies should b.
distinguished from deliberate untruth
fulness. As the child grows up tn
temptation to deceit is too often furnish
ed by prudes and drill-sergeants of pa
rents, who, because they arc models @
propriety themselves, expect their chi
dren to be so, too. This leads the youn
man or young woman to be demure a
home, to conceal their natural gayet
r from their unnatural parents. Whe

r manner, the habit of deception grow

THE DRESS OF WOMEN.

/ do declare that | think it would be
better to die and get out of torment at
once than to rise every morning for for
ty or fifty years, and box ones body in
a sort of compressive armour, hang weighs
to ones hips, and more weights upon
the head, which are supported by the
roots of the hair; put ones feet in shoes
a number too small, the wrong shape,
and with heels like stills and then set
about doing the whole duty of women
with a cheerful face and spry air, for
from fifteen to seventeen hours out of
the twenty-four That there are many
women who are not frightened into a
decline at such prospect, and that they
bravely undertake to do it-nay more,
that they even dream that with such ad.
Vantages they can work side by side
with unshackled man, and that they do
not die in trying to do it, certainly says
much for their courage.
A mans dress to a great extent is
fashioned for comfort. He has contri-
vances for suspending the weight of his
clothing from his shoulders If the East
wind blows he can turn up his coat col
lar, button himself up snugly, SLOUGH his
hat over his eyes, thrust his hands into
his pockets and brave the weather. But
imagine woman removing her hat OF
bonnet from the angle at which fashion
says she must wear it, on account of tn,
weather, or turning any of her fixtures
up to protect her neck and throat, o
buttoning anything that was unbuttonec
before, or sticking her hands into he
pockets She would be taken for a.
improper character out on mild spree
or an escaped inmate of lunatic asy
lum, should she endeavor by any i'm
promptu arrangement to save her health
