train to avert danger and probable loss
of life. The first train proved to be a
passenger train bound for St. Joseph. He

i TecribLe Niaht At a Theatre.

Once,wh a bashiul cub, / took a plain,
unsentimental country girl to comedy
one night had known her day; she
seemed divine; wore my new boots At
TIE end of the first hour she said
Way do you fight with your feet so p
laid, Did ?" Then put my atten-
ton there and kept still.
At the end Of another half hour she
said Why do you say, Yes, Oh yes :"
and "Ha, ha, oh certainly very true :"
TO everything | say, when half the time
those are entirely irrelevant answers ?"
| blushed and explained that | had
been little absent minded At the end
OF another half hour she said:
Please why DO you grin so steadily at
vacancy, and yet look SO sad ?"
explained that always did when l
was rejecting
An hour passed and then she turned
aud contemplated me with her earnest
eyes aud said
Why do you cry all the time ?"
explained that very funny comedies
always made me cry. At last human
nature surrendered, and secretly slipped
my boots of. This was a mistake; was
not able to get them on any more. 1t
was rainy night; there were no omni-
buses going our way, and as | walked
home. burning up with shame, with the
girl on one arm and my boots under the
otter, was an object worthy of compass
sion, especially in those moments OF mar
tyrdom when | had to pass through the
glare that fell upon the pavement from
street lamps.
Finally, this child Of the forest said
Where are your boots ?" and being taken
unp,ePared, put a finishing touch to the
t'.iies OF the evening with the stupid re-
mark, the higher classes do not wear
them to the theatre Dudley Warner.

The value of coal ashes as a fertilizer
has long been known to many, but ma
iority Of persons living in the country
throw the ashes intoa heap in some out OF
the way place, or use the ashes for filling
up some hole. Ashes applied to flower
or vegetable garden and soaked in gives a
richness to the soil, while it renders clayey
soil friable and productive. A writer In
the Ohio Farmer gives his experience Of
the value of coal ashes as cure for cur
eulio, that pest which destroys the plum
crop. He writes:
IL have for several years saved my
plums from the ravages Of the curculio by
the use of coal ashes. They become SO
completely disguised with it that they
leave for other parts. just so soon as
the blossoms fall commence with my
ashes. | take bucketful of the ashes
under my arm, and with the other hand l
dash the ashes all over and through the
trees, covering the plums completely with
ashes, and 20 round every few days and
give them another dose. Ii the rain
washes it off, | renew the dose aud keep
II it until my plums are ripe, when am
well paid for my trouble. | had this year
eight bushels on seven small trees, which
sold for thirty-two dollars have
several trees of the Rheine Glands variety
upon which l did not use the ashes, be-
cause the pums were so scattering. |
thought it would not pay, but there was
one limb of one Of those trees that was
close to those | put the ashes on; 1t got
It's share Of ashes, and that limb ripened
up all its plums, but not n plum was
there left on the other part of the tree, or
on any Of the other trees Of that variety.
This was conclusive evidence TO me that
il was the ashes that saved my plums,
When | first commenced the ashes my
brother told me that | would not succeed,
that he made sure of saving his pums by
placing a sheet under his trees and catch
M them on the sheet and killing them.
Bat when plums were ripe had plenty
and he had none

It is astonishing to see how well a
man may live on a small income who has
a handy and industrious wife. Some
men live and make far better appearance
on six dollars a week than others do on
fifteen or eighteen dollars. The man does
his part well, but the wife is good for
nothing. She will even upbraid her hus-
band for not living in as good style as
her neighbor, while the fault is entirely
her own. His neighbor has neat, capa-
bic and industrious wife, and that makes
the difference So look out young man
before you 60 into matrimony. 1t is a
lottery in which most men can only buy
one ticket, and if that turns out blank,
your whole life had better be a blank,
100. l.uckily,no one need go into wedd d
state with his eyes closed, as is the case
with his lotteries, and We judge all who
are sensible enough will use their optics
and draw prizes.

More than a dozen Of our friends have
written US that Petunia plants, any Of
our ordinary cultivated kinds, will drive
away or kill the potato bugs, as they
knew by actual test. While It hardly
seems natural, there must be some truth
in the matter William Gavin Of Prince
Arthur's Land, Ont, writes we have
no potato bugs in this locality, owing,
believe, to 4 wild sort of Petunia which
grows 10 uncuItivated places 1t is be-
.ieyed hat this plant is very poisonous to
the bugs, they being very fond Of it.
