WIT AND HUMOK.

"WHENEvEK Caravansary Week comes
round" remarked Mrs. GoodingtOn,
looking over the specs that had become
Opaque from the tears that filed her
eyes-''when Caravansary Week comes
round, can't keep my mind of poor
Daniel. How the dear man used to en-
joy it! He was 4 Utilitarian, you
know; but he used TO say that every
sex had something admiral about it,
something that was worth irritating
by the others. So he used to go every
where, listening to one predomination
in the forenoon, another in the after
noon and third in the evening. And
how the good man would talk of de-
generation by faith, the wears con-
donement, and all those doctors things,
There's few men like Danieln' ~ In
her abstraction, the dear old soul look
ed hopefully on Tommy, thinking that
perhaps he might ''peraWulate his IA

noticing that he was cutting out some
of the most intricate figures in her

SOWING SEEDs OF BEANS AND MELONS.
Many of us when getting our educa-
ton in vegetable gardening recollect
how anxious We were TO make an early
start in the spring, and how often we
had to sow our seeds, not once but
twice and three times over, frem put
ting them in too early, the cold or
dampness cutting them of for us.
Most all of us now wait until all dam
ger is assuredly passed before we sow.
But this waiting often throws us be-
hind our more venturesome neighbors
who have been willing to run a little
risk. a correspondent who follows
the plan of sowing the seed on sods in
a warm spot thus gives his method:
81 cut the rurf in squares of one foot,
about three inches deep, hauling these
on a wagon to the place chosen for the
crop. / lay them bottom ND in the cold
frame and with an old knife cut each
square of turf into pieces four inches
square, giving nine pieces to each
square. Into each of these smaller
pieces of turf | stick the bean, squash
or melon seeds, | put two beans in
piece, or three squashes or melon seeds.
1 then sprinkle soil over the bed and
when the seeds are up high enough |
take the pieces OF turf with the plants
and set them where they are to grow.

What Patsey Is DOing.

Mrs. Hoolahan, whose rather coltish
son, Patsey, went out West few
months ago to seek his fortune, re-
ceived great news from him yesterday.
did Patsey write to you?' we in
quired. "No, be jabers, he has niver
written 4 line since he Lift, but one Of
the Conner b'ys who went to Dinver a
fortnight ago promised to hunt up Pat
sey and let me know what he is doin''
I got litter to-day, and Conner tells me
that Patsey has a great situation as
superintendent of a free-lunch route,
which extends pretty much over the
whole city," "That must be pretty
nice thing" we suggested. "Wel, I
should say so. Patsey is a nice boy, and
I knew he'd do well If he had chance, -

innocent, motherly old face Frightening

picion that "the Conner by" was try

Abundant Hair.

japanese women are very proud of
their hair, which is black and luxuriant
They cultivate and arrange it with great
care by brushing their tresses back from
the forehead and gathering them in a
plated topknot, covered with flowers,
spangles and hairpins Of gold, silver and
tortoise-sheu. Rich and poor are alike
proud Of their coifure, and the kuli-
woman in rags devotes the same atten-
ton to her hair as any great lady. To
preserve the elaborate structure from be-
ing disturbed, women during sleep rest
their necks on q padded fork. There is
no difference between single and married
women in wearing their hair, as in
China and their respective social status
is indicated by the position Of the bow
in which the waist scarf IL tied, girls
wearing it at tho back, matrons in front.
The latter Likewise shave their eye
brovs. and dye their teeth black. Girls
use rouge freely, and sometimes gid
their lips. They are al fond Of smok-
ing, and wear their embroidered tobacco

Sleeping Together.

More quarrels occur between
brothers, between sisters, between
hired girls, between clerks in stores,
between apprentices in mechanics
shops, between hired men, between
husbands and wives, owing to Cleo

the eliminator will be tumbliDg and

are, should naturally sleep together,

Work Doesn't Hurt.

Made crazy by hard work is the report
concerning q very active business man
in Troy. It will do to call it that, al
though the trouble comes generally from
another direction. It is not 80 much the
hard work that crazes and kills men Of
business as it is the close application and
the inevitable worry Of mind. The man
who cannot possess his soul in patience
has no right to carry on large business.
It Is suicide, slow, perhaps, but not the
less certain. There are some men who
manage their business until it reaches a
certain magnitude, after which it man.
ages them and runs away with them.
Plain work seldom hurts people, be it
ever 30 hard. It is the mental anxiety,
caused by the perpledties> Of an un-
manageable business, that vexes and
hets and worries q man out Of his equi-
ibrium. No amount Of pecuniary sue
eess can ever pay for this.-PatladslpA'a

Deafness Of the Aeod.

Nothing is more common than to hear
old people utter querulous complaints
about their deafness; but those Who do
so are not perhaps aware that this in
trinity is the result of an express and
wise arrangement of Providence in con-
structing the human body. The gradual
loss of hearing is effected for the best
purpose, it being intended to give ease
and quietude to the decline of life, when
any noise or sounds from without but
discomposes the enfeebled mind, and
prevents peaceful meditation. Indeed,
the gradual withdrawal of all the senses
and the decay of the frame in old age
have been wisely ordained in order to
wean the human mind from the concerns
and pleasures of the world, and to in
duce longing for perfect state Of ex-
istence.

hours after the disease made its appearance.
The symptoms were peculiar. The animals
held their heads near the ground, ate and
drank. very little, became rapidly emaciated
and stopped giving milk, and showed symp'
toms Of head trouble, and some ofthem became
very weak in the loin. Another owner re.
ports that his own cow lived ten days after
being attacked, and gave milk up to two days
before che died. Other symptoms were iden-
tical with the above mentioned. There is q
difference Of opinion as to the cause OF the
disease. 1t is the opinion Of some medical
men that the COWS have been poisoned, while
others attribute the malady to deposits OF
caterpillars which tho COWS have eaten with
the grass In that portion OF the city.

Both sides to Blame.

A lady writer complains that the
expensive habits Of young women
nowadays excrts serious influence in
deterring young men who are not rich
from marrying. She cites instances
of the increasing timidity of young
men in this respect, anA seems to think
that the fault rests entirely with the
lovely woman. As usual, this parti-
cular woman is rather hard upon the
rest Of her sex. That the passion for
dress aud display on the part Of girls
not the slightest doubt, but it is un-
fair to claim that this mania is re-
strictcd to the ladies alone. Young
men, as rule, are quite as much given
to show in dress and to the indulgenc
Of expensive tastes as are young wo-
men, and to the fact they are not Will
ing to relinquish these luxuries is to
he ascribed much of the falling off in
the popularity of marriage. Indeed,
we seriously doubt whether. it the
facts could be obtained, it would not
be found that the girls are much moro
ready to give up fine dresses and jew.
elry and display, in return for modest
little homes with the men of their
choice, than are the latter to join them
in the sacrificial act. Marriage with
out adequate means of support is q
blunder that is almost q crime, but no
girl made Of ordinary stuff will hesi-
tate to share the trials and sacrifices
Of the man she loves, provided be has
that competence, however modest.
The thousands Of happy, smiling
homes, where true love constantly y
abides in spite of the slenderness Of
the family income, sufficiently attest
the readiness of the average woman to
surrender the glittering baubles Of
wealth and fashion in order to become
q devoted wife and mother. If the op-
posite sex were uniformly animated
by a similar spirit, we venture to as
sert that the number Of maids and
bachelors would rapidly diminish.
The truth is, there is too much love Of
dress and pretentious display in both
sexes, aud, until reaction sets in, VIC
may expect our correspondents COM
plant TO be reiterated by all who arc
pained by the popular disfavor into

Terrible Cyclone Of Fire.
