The striped bug that infests cucurn-
bers, squashes and melons as soon as
they appear above the ground is one Of
the greatest obstacles in the way of a
profitable cultivation of these crops.
The surest prevention is to place over
each hill frame covered with mosquito
netting. A treatment of ashes and plas-
ter, applied to the plants when the dew
Is on, serves to make the vines less pal
atable to the pests, though This is by no
means sure remedy.

Long Engagements.

8ssEA st. Louis young woman enters into
some interesting statistical and matri-
monial conjectures. She figures out
that she knows perhaps one hundred
young men, in round numbers. OF
these shes thinks she knows about thirty
intimately, and Of these thirty there are
not more than four whom she would
consent TO marry for love or money on
the spur of the moment. It may not be
pleasant way. Of putting it, but what
she says is that, taking one hundred
young men as they come and go, only
one out Of every twenty five can be set
down as unobjectionable and able to
make living for himself and wife.
The st. Louis young lady goes on to
advise her sisterhood as sagely as though
she spoke from the pinnacle Of expert
ence. She tells them CHOW that
you are being courted, you think, of
course, it is all very well, and it will be
nicer when you get married. But it
won't. He thinks he's going to keep on
this high pitch of love all the time But
he wont. He doesn't know himself, and
you don't know him. It can't last. It
must cool down. When he sees you as
many times a day as he wants to, and
maybe more; when he sees your head
done up every morning regularly in curl
papers and the bloom is all off the rye :;
when your home contains good deal
Of wash tub, cradle and cook stove, he
won't stand in front of the house for one
hour out in the cold, watching your
light in your window. He'll be think
ing rather Of getting out of the house.
Young woman, protract this courtship
as long as you can. Let well enough
alone. A courtship in hand is worth
two marriages in the bush. Don't
marry till Christmas after next"

LOVING HANDS.
BIZ EMMA CLARK wH1TNEY.

Ger my temples, kindly smoothing
All the aching from my brow,
SOFT hands are gently soothing
AS only loving ones know how.
Like cooling drops Of summer rain
Fingers fail upon my hair,
resting the active, weary brain,
Freeing it from thoughts Of care.
Let their touch Of sweet COMMISSION
Ger my forehead mildly press,
And my cheek so cold and ashen
Feel again their fond caress.
Loving hands, to us they render
Sweetest services in life,
ending us with touches tender
FInm the ways Of sin and strife.
