GI.ohei Strawberries.

Many of our readers have seen on
fruit stands the difference in the appear
ance of fruit, some had peculiar CLOS
siness that rendered them attractive,
while others would have a dull, dead
appearance, that was unattract;ve. The
first named was quickly sold at paving
prices, while the last event begging"
for purchasers, "What is the reason tor
this gloss?' You ask. Simply that the
plants were heavily mulched and per
haps watered. Not only does mulch
keep the fruit clean. but, by keeping the
surface of the ground moist and cool, it
prevents the reflection of the suns rays
from dry. hot surface, from burning
or seorching the fruit, and giving it a
dull, dead appearance. We have before
referred to plantation of Wilson's AL
bany, grown by a farmer living in South
Bend, Ind, few Years ago, not only in
reference to the large yield, but the fine
size and peculiar glossiness of his fruit
who sold his entire crop quick at twenty
five cents per quart. We shall never
forget that year No rain from the mid
die OF May to the last of June-iust at
the time when straw berries most need
ed it. Our strawberries, not grown in
matted rows, Notwithstanding they
were mulched some in rows, were about
like bullets for size a1d hardness, and
we obtained from tw enty 10 twenty-five
bushels to the acre, getting in all be-
tween three and four hundred bushels
from some eighteen acres, while this
farmer picked at the rate of one hund-
red bushels 10 the acre, and that too.
from part that had rather poor care
the year previous.
After August first he got tired tending
them, and let them 90 helter skelter,
without even cultivating them. Having
read that it was good plan to scatter
straw all over the entire surface, he
drew out a number of loads during the
winter and scattered it over them, so as
to hide them and the entire surface from
sight. Being very busy in the spring
lie did not do as he was intending to do
draw of the straw from the main
rows-but left it and went on about his
farming work. Soon the plants began
to grow up through the straw, and the
plants seemed to put forth their bios
SONS and fruit, until the field was one
mass of green foliage and white bios
SONS.
The result was that in the exceeding
ly dry spell he picked one OF the largest
and best crops he ever saw, and from
this plantation got as much money as
from all the rest of bis farm.-SmaN

OF the tungstate upon soft woods is to
render them quite hard as well as in-
combustible, and it also acts as a pre-
servative against dry rot.
Sticks and boards of the prepared
wood have been saturated with kerosene
oil and set on fire; the oil burned of
entircl; without iguiiing the wood.
Two small houses have been BULL. one
of ordinary pine wood the other of the
prepared wood, and fire, of great mr.
gency kindlcd in each. The one Of or
dinary wood was quickly consumed, +,
while the other was lett only slightly
charred. There is no doubt that all the

construct all the scenery and applian-
ces of theatre can be prepared ia few
weeks time; and the painted canvas also
can be treated in the same way. Even
if oil colors were used on the canvas.
we think it could not readily ignite.
The attention OF the theatre managers
should be called to this subject, and The
authorities OF cities should insist upon
having every mean, used which modern
science suggests to prevent fires in pub
lie buildings .-Ef.

Thirst is the general rule for water
drinking. Those who use a plain, un-
stimulating diet have little thirst, and
require but little drink. II is injurious
10 load the stomach with large quanti-
ty of water when nature does not de-
mand it. As with food, all that cannot
be used is a burden which must be
thrown off. The routine practice of
drinking so many tumblers per day, as
advised at some water-cures, is repre-
hensiblc. Ii is well to take a tumbler
Of water after the morning ablution, and
at times according to thirst. 4 is un-
natural, and hence injurious, to drink
at meals. Throughout the whole ami
nal kingdom nature has intended the
saliva to be the solvent of the food. Ii
the food is well masticated aud iusaliva-
ted, it will never need any "water to
wash it DOWN" In acute diseases there
is often extreme thirst; and here wafer.
drinking may be INDUCED ad Htitum: !:
but il is better to take little and
often" than to take large 1raughts at
long intervals. Ia many cases of low
fever. cholera, ETC., warm water will
allay thirst better than cold.-Enanas
OF warm water will also check thirst
very promptly.
Cool, but not cold, water is the most
natural drink. But it is always import
ant to have ii pure. Hard and impure
water are a prolific source of affections
of the liver and kidneys. For invalids
it is of especial importance that all the
water taken into the stomach be soft and
pure. Artificial "mineral waters" and
the alkaline, saline, ferruginous, sui
phureus compounds of the medicinal
springs" are pernicious beverages for
the sick or well. The drugs they con-
tain are no better, and no different in
effect, than the same drugs taken from
the apothecary shop. Those water cure
physicians who permit their patients to
use them may be justified in thus Weld
ing to popular prejudice; but to prescribe
them argues strange ignorance of Hy-
giene, or perhaps worse motive.-E1.

FRUIT AS A MEDICINE.-The irregular
eating OF unripe fruit is well known to
be unwholesome. The regular and
moderate use OF well Iipened fruit is not
so widely appreciated as contributing
to health. Residents in regions where
more or less malaria prevails have dis
covered that nothing is more sure pre-
ventative of its deleterious effects than
regular supply of fruit. But fruit will
not only prevent disease, bnt in some
instances it has proved one of the best
medicines to cure it. Many wears ago
a chronic cough, which had excited
good deal of uneasiness, was cured by
daily eating ripe raspberries, recon-
mended by medical writer OF high au-
thority as an excellent expectorant.
Severe colds are more apt 10 occur on
the first cool and damp days of autumn
than at other seasons. We have often
cured these diseases on their first attack,
by eating copiously of ripe watermelons.
The beneficial effects of drinking freely
of cold water on such occasions, are
well known. Watermelcns supply a
larger quantity than one could easily
swallow in any other way.-Country

Wood Rendered Incomhust;ble.

Since it has been discovered that cloth
can be made almost indestructible by
fire, we see no good reason why wood
cannot be treated by similar process,
and, if practicable, we may yet have
houses, with their contents, entirely
fireproof The Boston Journal of Chem
istry saws that it not only can be done,
but that it has been demonstrated by the
most rigid experiment that wood i'm
mersed in '.pickle" of solution OF
tungstate of soda cannot be ignited un-
der any of the ordinary conditions to
which it NAV be exposed. The tung-
state is made by the addition of tung-
state of lime to hydrochloric acid and
salt, aiording as byproduct chloride
of lime in large quantities. The action

Cows HOLDING MILk.-What is the
best method TO cause COW to give down
her milk when she is inclined to hold it
up? r. B. Ans.-When cows with
hold their milk, they are commonly in
an unsatisfied state of mind, and there
fore anything to draw their attention
from this condition answers a good pur-
pose. We have always succeeded by
giving them a mess of food to amuse
them while milking is going on, gener-
ally dry meal, SO as to keep them long
occupied. If they have sucking calves,
let them suck at the time of milking.
Driving them in position so that their
fore feet will stand Oh a mnch higher
ground than the hind feet, or on lower
ground, counteracts the animals atten-
ton and generally succeeds. 1t is said
that weight on tie small of the ami
mails back, as bag Of grain, will an

out to keep them in shape. Climbing
roses should be allowed all the latitude

be annually done TO curtail rampant

The Earaes. Time Of All.

There are days of deepest sorrow
Ia the season of our life:
There are wild despairlng moments:
mere are hours Ofmental strife,
Ihefe are hours of stony anguish,
hen the tears refuse to fall;
But the wai,ing-time my brothers,
l. the hardest time of all.
Youth and love are oft impatient.
Seeking things beyond their reach:
Ana TIE heart grows sick with hoping,
Ere IT learns what life can teach,
For, before the lruii be gathered,
We must see the blossom fall;
And the waiting-time, my brothers.
Is the hardest time of ALL
We can bear the heat of conflict.
Though the sudden. crushing blow,
Beating back our gathered forces.
For i moment lay Us low,
We may rise again beneath il.
None the weaker for our fall.
Bat the waitimg-time, my brothers;
l. the hardest time of all.
Yet at last we learn the lesson
That God knoweth what il best.
And a silent resignation
Makes the spirit calm and blest.
For, perchance, day is coming
For the changes Of our fate.
When our heart will thank Him meeAly
That he taught u how TO wait.

The way I'm which a smart Dealer was
Badly Fooled.


A German recently went to Paris with
a genuine Correggio which he had been
unable to sell in his own country for
what it was worth. He had letter OF
introduction to a German art dealer
who has an excellent reputation in
Paris, and one to q rich banker no has
a large collection of paintings. He took
the picture to the banker and offered to
sell it for e2400, agreeing to deliver it
on the following day. In the evening
the dealer called and cautioned the
banker against buying the picture, as
he had discovered that it was a copy. The
banker accordingly refused to buy the
painting, and the German went back to
his lodgings cursing his i'll luck. While
he was brooding over his misfortunes,
an English gentleman who had heard
of the Correggio called to look at it
and offered him e5oee on the spot.
The German agreed at once, and the
Correggio was soon on its way to
Brighton. The art dealer who had
cautioned the banker against making
the purchase, thinking that he could
now have the picture at his own price,
called a few days afterward to offer
e12OO for it, but learned to his dismay
that his trick had failed. ana that the
prize was going across the channel
