Sticking Peas.

Most people, says Foa7aey's Press, when
they go to seed store to buy peas, ask
for kinds that need no sticks to run on.
It may be taken for a general rule, in
which there are few exceptions, that peas
that need no sticks are not worth sticking.
1t is only when they grow up something
that they bear freely. In most places
some brushwood may be gathered and
saved for the purpose. Sometimes, how
ever, it is not convenient to find any. A
hint as to a substitute may be useful in
such cases. We take the following from
the London Field:
"To those who have to procure stakes
at great cost, the following method will
prove advantageous, being very cheap,
simple and easily performed. A few
rough stakes should be obtained and
driven into the ground on each side OF
the row about twelve feet apart. These
stakes should be of a corresponding
height to that of, the peas, and when the
required number for a line is inserted
some tar Irvine or other strong cord may
be tied to the end stake, and passed along
the line of stakes, making turn on each
within few inches of the ground, and as
growth progress ses raise the next turn a
little higher, advancing in succession un.
til the plants attain their full height
These lines being run on at the right time
the tendrils of the peas will clasp firmly
round them and support the plants quite
equal to the well-known plan of sticking
Some imagine an advantage to be OBJ
tanned in this way of training, as the lines
get better circulation of air, and pods
can be gathered at all times without in
turing the haulm."

Clean Up the Walks.

In my first experience at hoeing corn
and potatoes / was very much inclined,
like most boys, to give the last hill in the
row "a lick and PROMISE" instead OF
finishing it up in workmanlike manner
with one or two clean cuts of the hoe mo
the sod or weeds beyond. Well do re-
member the look my father gave me at
this attempt at sighting my work, as well
as his words, which were, Boys, always
hoe out your row." / have never forgot
ten the lesson learned so long ago, and it
frequently comes to my mind as see the
grass and weeds crowding the hills
around the edges Of corn or potato field
in summer. These are pretty sure signs
that somebody has failed to hoe out his
row. The neglected fence corners, half
plowed headlands, deep, barren, dead
burrows to be seen upon thousands of
farms, in whatever direction we may
travel, show plainly enough that the
owners or occupants were never taught
and compelled to hoe out their row.
But the negligent habit acquired when
young of never hoeing out the row crops
out nowhere more conspicuously with the

many excellent people, without other
mental defect, find themselves sadly en-
barrassed by their utter inability to re-
member anything in a witness box.
Furry and difidence are the causes of
the trouble in such cases, doubtless, but
neither furry nor diffidence can account
for the fact that with many people proper
names are never forthcoming when
wanted. We know man, not at all diff
fident, who, in addressing his most init
mate friend, is sure to call him, "Ah-,"
or "Mr. ah-," unable for the instant
to recall name which comes to him the
very moment that its coming is too late.
Very provoking must it be too to re-
member everything approximately and
vaguely, but nothing accurately or with
certainty; and the people who suffer thus
are not few. They recall everything in
shadowy form, and are never quite GER
tain of anything past. The facts of yes
terday are to them only uncertain ghosts
of fact, resembling their originals, but
presenting themselves in so uncertain and
ill-defined outline as to be wholly useless
for any practical purpose. These are
they who make lawyers heads grow gray,
and convince the rest of the world that
stupidity is the common lot.
Still more provoking to its possessor
must be that not uncommon kind of mem
DRY which recalls all but the essential
part of the thing wanted. If it be jest
or a story, they remember all of it but
the point. And people of this sort are
very apt too to be much given to the
telling of good stories, persisting in the
attempt in spite of repeated failure. They
hurl conundrums at their friends On all
occasions - excellent conundrums- of
which, when their friends "glve
it up" they are sure to forget
the answers. They tell stories excel
lently so far as beginnings and middles
are concerned, breaking down only at the
very end, and forcing the listener to con-
tent himself with the assurance that the
forgotten climax was Every good-very
good indeed" To be constantly with
such people is equivalent to a perpetual
course of reading the half sheets issued
by the story papers for advertising pur-
poses, in which, just as the readers inter
est is fairly aroused, he is quietly informed
that "the rest ofthis story may be found"
etc, etc., etc.
Now, for these and all other serious de-
fects in our memories we have to thank
ourselves and our teachers; ourselves be-
cause, by determined effort, we may cure
the i'll if we choose; our teachers because
almost every bad memory is the result of
educational laundering. In our schools
the memory is used too much and trained
too little. 1t is overtaxed and left undis-
ciplined. 1t is required to do work
which belongs of right to other faculties,
and is not properly drilled in the art of
doing it's own.-HearM and Home.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Orange Cake.-Six eggs, one cup OF

Paving Horses.-A correspondent OF
the Farmers Uaason gives this remedy for

to keep it STILL"
Lotion of Acetic Acid for Badness
The following lotion is superior for a
shampooing liquid, for removing dan
druff, and as useful and pleasant appli-
cation for badness. 1t is, of course,
moderately stimulating, and in those
cases in which the hair follicles are not
destroyed, but have become merely in
active, it is likely to prove eficacious.
Take of acetic acid one dram; cologne
water, one ounce; water to make in all
six ounces. Country Gentleman.
The Dahlia.-The dahlia has come
before the people lately in the shape of a
bit of history connected with the family
of the Hollands of Holland House In
some memoirs lately published there is
an account of its introduction from some
other part of the world, its narrow escape
from being eaten as a vegetable, etc. !; and
after this fortunate escape it became the
parent from which all dahlias sprung. 1t
seems strange that so many curious
things have been in just this danger; the
potato, the tulip, and we don't know
what, all barely escaped voyage down
some human throat, and just in time to
render their names with us forever bleSt.
1t would seem as if there must have been
wondrous disposition on the part of our
forefathers to devour everything that
came to hand. In these days people gen.
orally take more care to know what they
are eating, and all is not fish that comes
to their net.-Forney's Press.
Taking off the surplus water is only
advantage of underdrains. They also one
make tenacious soil more friable and
absorptive, and soil is productive in
proportion to its capacity to hold water
by capillary absorption. Vegetable ma
nure or clover sod plowed in will make a
soil friable for the time being but tile un-
derdrains are a permanent improvement
Mr.. Prout, the English famer, who keeps
no stock, but depends on commercial
manure to keep up the fertility of his soil,
is of opinion that his great success in
growing crops is as much due to his very
thorough tile draining as to his chemical
manures. Ridging and trenching gar.
den in the fall is a great promoter OF
early vegetation in the spring, and almost
indispensable in many soils. The frosts
Of winter make the clayey ridges permea-

man than in the treatment of the ground
about his home. First of all, if he re-
ceived proper instruction in his younger
days, there will be grass plat about the
house, and through this, or along side,
walks and a carriage way, in neither OF
which will grass or weeds be permitted to
grow. / know that some farmers will say
that this is all nonsense, and so is black
ing your boots and putting on a stiff col
lar when you go to church on Sunday.
No one ever put on such thing as Sum-
day clothes in hot weather for comfort,
but 1T is all for the looks, and that is just
what folks clean up their walks and trim
the edges of the grass for. A little
| polish on a pair of boots makes a
wonderful difference in the appear
ance of the man who wears them, just
as little hoeing and trimming of the
carriage-way and walks about house re-
fleet beneficially upon all surrounding
objects. In addition to the looks, a we'll
defined walk or carriage road has Won
derful effect upon the morals and habits
of both mankind and animal kind that
! frequent them. We all know what is said
about the two kinds of paths and where
they lead in that good old Book, and the
broad one with no well.defined limits is
typical of nine-tenths of those seen about
farmers grounds, and, might add, of the
general habits Of the owners. But it is
scarcely necessary for me to enlarge upon
this subject, because every one who has
seen well-trimmed borders and clean
walks about the suburban or country
homes is aware of the effect they have
upon all the surroundings, and that they
lead to greater and better things.-COr.

The Tricks of Bad Memory.

There are plenty of people who find it
easy enough to remember some things,
who have no corresponding ability to re-
tain even the shadows of others in their
MINDS n and the provoking part of it is
thatl the thlngs we remember most easily
ana most surely are apt to be those of
least consequence, or those even which
we would gladly. forget. Memory plays
tricks, TOO, sometimes, failing just at the
moment when we need its services most
imperatively, and performing it's functions
perfectly well at all other times. School,
boys and schoolgirls suffer greatly in
this way about examination time, and

Success Based Upon Merit.

1t is a subject of general remark among
both wholesale and retail druggists that no
medicine introduced to the American public
has ever gained such a popularity and met
with so large a sale in all parts of the land, in
the same length of time, as DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon
its having been more largely advertised than
any other medicine, as such is not the case.
The correct explanation, we think, is found
in the fact that this medicine produces the
most wonderful and perfect cures of very bad
cases of bronchial, throat and lung diseases,
is undoubtedly the most perfect and efficient
remedy for all kinds of coughs that has ever
been introduced to the public, and at the same
time possesses the greatest of blood-purifying
science has been able to produce, thus render
ing it a sovereign remedy not only in the cure
of Consumption, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and
Coughs, but also for all diseases of the liver
and blood, as scrOfulous diseases, blotches,
rough skin, pimples, black specks and discol-
orations. 1t has, therefore, a wide range of
application and usefulness, and it not only
gives the most perfect satisfaction to all who
use it, but far exceeds the expectations of the
most sanguine, thus eliciting the loudest
praise, and making permanent liVing advertis
ing mediums of all who use it. For these
reasons it is that there is not perhaps drug
gist in all the vast domain of this continent
who tries to please his customers and supply
their wants that does not keep and sell large
quantities of this most valuable medicine.

DEAR S1R-We take pleasure in saying that
