BILE, greatly priced by some and re-

certainly deserves a place in every
garden, even if relished by only half
the family, for those who do relish it
take great enjoyment in it, and it is
specially good in the Spring, when
other vegetables are scarce. Pars'
nips make excellent food for milch
cows, but they are not as easily raised
as beets and turnips, and we cannot
recommend their cultivation further
than to supply the wants of the fam
lily. The ground for parsnips is a
deep, rich loan, and the earlier the
seed is sown the better. II fresh barn
yard manure is used as a fertilizer,
the roots are apt to grow with side
branches. We prefer, therefore,to use
for this vegetable well-rotted manure
or some commercial fertilizer. One
long, smooth parsnip is better than
two OF the branching sort. The seed
is a thin scale, and must be fresh to
terminate we'll, and, as the young
shoot is very delicate, it is well to
sow the seed thickly, in order that
the shoots may aid each other in
pushing up to light and life. They
can be afterwards thinned out so as
to stand tour inches apart. The SUI

FASHION, that stern mistress,
that Moloch to whom so many children
have been sacrificed in bygone days. for
once asserted her influence on the side
of common sense when she decreed
that their necks, arms and legs should
be protected by proper clothing. A
few years ago ii was not an uncommon
sight to see mother warmly dressed,
IN thick wooden, fur-trimmed garments,
leading by the hand a child daintily ar
rayed in 4 short frock with least two
inches of lis poor little legs uncovered
between the edge of its drawers and
the top of its tiny white socks; or in
doors 10 see plump necks and rounded
arms exposed TO an atmosphere which
adults could meet only when swathed
TO neck and wrists. Happily this alb
surd custom is thing of the past, and
one can only trust it never may be re-
vived. The error now is rather in the
other extreme. While children should
be warmly dressed, particularly when
going into the open air. care should be
taken not to overload them with cloth
ing. The sweat glands are very active
in youth, and if over-stimulated by
heat, become inflamed. producing heat
rash.
Light wooden materials should be
used in winter and colors selected that
will wash when necessary. The gar
ments should be so made as not to i'm
pede the freest use of the limbs.
Healthy children require a great deal of
exercise, and should be encouraged TO
play vigorously and shout Justify for
some time every morning in the open
air. They will be much more ready to

ANOTHER Of the popular errors to be cor
rected is that the African Sahara is a great

proof that Iceland is a tropic country, and
that the Rocky Mountains are below the
sea level, in order ic convince the average
citizen that the time he spent in studying
geography in his youth WAS fooled away

the foreman Of the fire company with
which "he" has been connected in

serious indiscretion. As to the peppery
letter from the young woman to whom

probable that your own fine natural in

set in his hat front, about midway be-

was q middle-aged man, with long hair
by the way, how is it that almost all

cast at him. It getting noised about the
train numerous persons from other cars
would pass through the coach he was in
to see the man with the watch in his
hat. At last one young gent with more
assurance than discretion ventured to
ask the peculiar party the reason Why
he carried his watch in that prominent
position. The old sport looked his
