The Sailor ana tho Widow.

Nearly half century ago, when a
coach ran daily between Glasgow and
Greenock, by Paisley, one forenoon,
when little past Blshopton, a lady in
the coach noticed a boy walking bare
footed. seemingly tired, and struggling
with tender teet. She desired tho coach
man to tako him up and give him a
seat, and she would pay for 1t. When
they arrived at tho inn In Greenock.
she inquired of the boy what was his
object In coming up there. He said
he wished to be a sailor, I'D hoped
some OF the captains would engage
him. She gave him half crown, wish
Ell him success, and charged him to be-
have we'll.
Twenty years after this, the coach
was returning to Glasgow in the after
noon, on the same road. When near
b'shopton, sea captain observed an
Old widow lady on the road, walking
very slowly, fatigued and weary. lie

nc would pay for her. Immediately
after, when changing the horses at
Bishopton, tho passengers we've saun-

the old lady, who remained IN the

kindly feeling toward her, as she was
now unable to pay tor seat. He said ::

pedestrians, since he himself was in

AGRICULTuRE.

CROSSE FERTILIZATION OF CORN
Prof. Beal, Of Michigan, proposes to

sing corn the seed Of which is obtained
from Localities remote from each other.
After obtaining seed the product of
this cross, he Is to employ it to plant

Improvement In prOducGiveness is thus
secured. He has associated with him
several scientific agriculturalists in
different parts Of the west, all OF whom

nation of those who may wish to try
the same experiments, we give briefly
the directions: Each man IN his own
same sort, but grown in localities for
vt least five years, and at least hun
dred miles away from each other.
These are TO be planted in two separate
sets of alternating rows, thinning
out feeble stalks and making both per-
fectly alike. AS soon as The tassels
appear pull them all out in every al.
ternate row, so that the pulled rows
shall be crossed with the pollen from
the alternate rows. Save the seed sep
arately from the alternate rows in two
lots. The seed from the topped por-
ton will all be crossed from tue untop-
pod portion; while tho untopped rows

DOMESTIC.

WASHING MADB BEAsY.-Have boiler
full Of boiling water. Ass ort your
clothes, the cleanest into one tub, the
more solled into another, and any that
are very dirty into some pail or tub by
themselves. Take pail Of hot water,
add to It the dissolved soap needed and
pour 1t over the clothes. Continue to
do this until they are all covered.
Then take your wash board, bottom
end up, and work the clothes around a
few moments, and leav them until the
water is coal enough for your hands.
You will find that they need almost no
rubbing. Put them into tho boiler in
cold water without soap, let them get
scalled but not boil, rinse in one wa
ter, blue, and you will ind them pure
and white. Baby's washing will need
no rubbing, and In place of boiling
you can pour hot water over the arti-
Giles, cover twenty minutes then rinse.

out any rubbing. If by some m1sfor-
tune you haye tlanneis shrunken, walt

them in that, and when they are near
ly dry press them carefully with a hot
iron, and even you will be pleased to
find them perhaps even a little larger
