Potash In Wheat.

Why isit, says the Practical Farmer,
when growing wheat or rye is being
struck with rust, that little pIothere and
there where stumps, logs or brush have
been burned to ashes, will be bright and
free from the attack of rust2 Because
the growing plants employ potash and
silica not only to give stiffness and
rigidity to the straw, but to form, as it

face of every leaf, CLONE and straw, to
fortify the tender and delicate parts
against the attacks of spores that are
floating in the atmosphere. We all
know how readily substances in the
atmosphere are turned away when they
come in contact with a CLASSY surface.
Potash and sand are the essential ele-
ments of glass. The roots of growing

AN INoUIsITIvE CHILD.-The follow
ing story is told of a daughter of a
prominent person now in the lecture
field. A gentleman was invited to the
lecturers house to tea. Immediately on
being seated at the table, the little girl
astOnished the family circle and the
guest by the abrupt question:
where is your wife 2"
Now, the gentleman having been re.
Gently separated from the partner of his
life, was taken so completely by sur
prise that he stammered forth the truth /:
81 don't know"
don't know :" replied the infant ter
rible, "why don't you know %
Finding that the child persisted in
her interrogatories, despite the mild re-
proof Of her parents, he concluded to
make clean breast of the matter and
have it over at once. So he said, with
a calmness that was the result of in
ward explosives;
"Well, we don't live together we
think as we can't agree, we had better
not try"
"Can't agree Then why don't you
fight it out as pa and ma do ?"

Nothing could be more romantic than
the story which the Troy Press tells
about a worthy young man who arrived
in Schenectady from Ireland several
years ago. Two years previously he had
won at home the heart Of a fair daughter
Of Ireland, but cruel fate had separated
them. The couple had arranged to get
married secretly and start for America.
The day before the ship was to sail up
on which John had taken out passage
for both. the father left for Glasgow,
taking his daughter with him. John
was too wise to submit to the loss of the
passage money Of both. He came to
this country himself alone. A CORE.
spondence was kept up between the sep
arated lovers, with frequent Interrupt
tions by the father, for about five years
when it ceased entirely. -Four years
later John was astonished one day to
see the brother of his former love step
into his place Of business in Schenecta.
dyi and what surprised him more was
the brother informed him that he had
brought Nora with him at her own re-
request, expecting that he would now
marry her. Unhappy John had married
another few months before. He went
to the depot and the meeting was such
as lovers can imagine. The brother was
on his way to Michigan, and so Nora
had to follow him but John would NOT
be separated from his old love, 50 he
started off with her. The news, howey.
ever, was soon carried to Johns wife
who set out in persuit on the next boat
and succeeded in capturing her truant
husband at Rochester and brought hin
back IN triumph to Schenectady. II
the course Of years John became a wild.

er IN Michigan, was left widow will

stocked. Her whereabouts and circum
stances we're discovered by John, and
ayear ago they were married. But soOr

Nora began to surmise that he was no

GRASS PLANTED BY GRAssHopPERs.-
A curious fact connected with the grass
hopper raid in Western Missouri is that,
wherever partures have been DESTROYED
by the insects, new varieties of grass.
which never before have been seen in
the localities, have sprung up. The
principal species is a green bunch
grass of luxuriant growth, covering
ground formerly yielding nothing but
blue grass. Cattle eat the new species
with avidity. 1t is cOnjectured that the
seed was brought to the region and
deposited by the grasshopper swarms
which laid their eggs there last fall
Some definite explanation of the phe-
nOmenon would be very interesting, since
1T is not known where the grass origin
ally grew or what may be expected of
it, if its growth continues. in the future.
Possibly the grasshoppers may prove a
blessing yet

TEACHING CHILDREN COURTESY


Many mothers forbid their toddling
children any intercourse with other little
people, because they suppose it is not
time for them to fully comprehend the
courtesies Of life. This is the very rea-
son why they should be taught to be
polite and considerate at the earliest
possible moment We have seen parents
who seemed to suppose that the first
lesson bestowed upon child is exact
ness Of statement, and that a falsehood
is a cardinal sin. But to teach child
to tell the truth requires a process of
incomprehensible reasoning, while an in
Fiction Of pain upon another child has
its immediate results, and the child can
both see and feel the consequences of its
unkindness. IT is very curious to OBJ
serve little people when they first meet.
They usually look at each other sharply
but speculatively, and, after proper de-
liberation, decide upon their line of ac-
ton. IL is either war or peace, but new
er entire Indifference Even the peace
may be but temporary, provided one
possesses that which the other covets.
Doubtless this covetousness is not so
much due to original sin as to that deep
law Of human acknowledgements
ton. The child who sees an article in
another's possession, imagines, vaguely
perhaps, but positively, that it is neees-
sary to his own welfare and happiness,
and instinct teaches him to seize it. Now
this is not infrequently set down as an
objectionable sin, and an omen of future
wickedness. Nothing can be more un-
just or unreasonable. 1t is character
istie which, when properly guided, will
lead to honorable worldly success. Mis-
directed or uncurbed, without being
taught proper reverence for the golden
rule, the young creature may fall into
positive crime. Manliness in a boy cor
responds with womanliness in a girl, and
the nobility Of unselfshness cannot be
too early taught to children, nor can
this quality be learned practically unless
association with other children is not
only encouraged but used as a constant
habit Of instruction. While teaching n
child to be polite, above all things avoid
permitting him to become obsequious.
An excess Of politeness is real hypocrisy
and leads to dangerous deceits, or else
craven spirit enters the child, and this
sort Of evil sentiment is rarely, if ever,
cast out when once in possession of a
soul. Teach the children genuineness
IN the expression of their likings, and
forbearance in their dislikes-these great
lessons of life that can be gained only
by proper restraints over their inter-
course with companions of equal age and
circumstances.-7He MetripoLitaa.

Two new parlor amusements are thus
described /; Two players are closely
blinded with bandage made of their
pocket handkerchiefs. Each ono is pro-
vided with saucer full of cake or crack
er crumbs, which is held in the left
hand, and spoon, which is held in the
right hand. A sheet is spread upon the
floor, upon which the players sit, and
at a given signal they begin to feed each
other. Their efforts to find each others
mouths with their spoons never fail to
afford much sport. Another amusing
experiment is to try to blow out a can
die blindfolded. The candle is placed
upon table, up to which a player is
led he then walks back six steps, turns
around three times. and walks forward
as nearly in the direction of the candle
as possible, and tries to blow it out
If he happens to wander to the wrong
part of the room, the effect of the blow.

without stirring, in a bright tin pan,
until it will crisp in water, like molass-
es candy. Just before it is done put in
a tablespoonful of extract of vanilla and
q quarter of tablespoonful of cream of
tartar. When sufficiently done, pour
into a buttered pan, and when cool
enough to handle, work it as you would
molasses candy, until it is perfectly
white-then stretch and lay on u mar
bic slab, or if you have to use the mould
ing board, put buttered papers over it.
and with chOpping knife cut into
mouthfuls, and set away until it creams,
which it will do as it dries out. If it
should grain before it is done, or before
you have a chance to pull it, put it back
into the pan and put water on to it and
boil it over again.
