people to adopt every novel freak In the

plan is that they should choose the ideas
that are the most suitable to their taste
and the most easily adapted TO their
materials and circumstances. We arc
learning that houses to be attractive
should be individual; and we may rest
assured that the fact that variety is
charming Is us true OF this as it is of
many other matters. If oneis paying

FLAX CULTURE.-A neglected indus
try In tho United States is that of flax
growing and the manufacture Of linen.
Forty AeaIsago, nearly every farmer in
Tho country knew how to raise and pre-
pare flax for domestic use, and many
Of our fathers and mothers were to
some extent engaged in this manufac-
'ture. Now, however, besides few
small mills in New York and New Jer-
sry, the business Is gwen over to for
eign manufacturers. Or the raw flax
used 1y tho crash and thread mills,
1000 tons arc imported, and 1000 tons
are home grown, chiefly In the north
eastern portion OF the State of New
York. a considerable portion of the
imported is Russian, a part, that of the
best, is Belgian, Il part Canadian, and
some Irish. What is required at this
time is, that our farmers attend to the
requirements of fertilizers anu the ro-
tatl0n OF crops necessary to grow the
hoer to perfection, and then sow the
proper amount Of seed, Two or three
bushels per acre. pull 1t before over
ripe, steep 1t, and spread it Just long
enough to separate the fibre completely
and the present demand for flax may be
easily supplied at home. This Is the
first step, and if 1t can not be secured
without the assistance OF fax aSsocia-
ton, such should be organized. The
Importation of raw flax is about 1000
tons annually, at a cost of about ST..
o0,0O0, the importation Of linseed
about $4,000, 900 annually, and of linen
goods about $l5, ,00U, 900 annually.

AGRICULTURE.

BARLEY OR OATs.-In regard to
whether it Is better to sow oats or bar
Icy, much depends OH climate and soil.
.ln sections where outs do we'll, and
barley usually falls, it would be unwisc
to SOW barley. But In those sections
where tho climate is alike favorable for
barley or oats, and where it Is Il ques-
ton of soil ana preparation, it may be
observed: lst. That oats sometimes do
we'll on an old sod, but barley rarely,
If ever, does so. I'd. Oats ripen later
Sble to sOwj oats as early as the lan'l can
be got into good condition, still you
stand better chance Of crop from
late sown oats than late sown barley.
ID. Oats will do far better on low,
mucky land, than barley. If such land
be we'll drained and Is In good heart,
and In fine, mellow condiCion-as efter
we'll cultivated corn, potato or root
crop-:t great crop of barley may some
times be grown, especially If the land
has been lined, but the chances are al
together more favorable for Il great crop
OF oats. 4th. On low, mueky land, that
Is only partially drained. and which
cannot be worked early in the season,
1t would be folly to sow barley. If
sown at all, would drill in oats, if the
mnd was dry enough to admit the use
or the drill; or if hot, SOW tho oats
0roaqcast, and If they could not be har-
rowed III, let them sprout on the sur
lace, and roll the land when 1t is firm
enough to hold up tho horses. 1t would
ne oettcr, however, TO summer fallow
such land. working it thoroughly, and
make it clean and mellow, and then
seed 1t down heavily with timothy (and
perhaps red topl next a tgust. Atany
rate, do not sow barley. 9th. Oats will

ley. This Is tho rule. The exceptions
are rare. The heaviest crop of barley
over saw was on Il field Of heavy clay
iand that was summer fallowcd the yoar
previous for wheat by three plowings,
ana then not sown to wheat In the fall
but plowcd again in the spring early
and sown IN barley. Everything was
favorable, and the crop was immense.
9Th. On weedy land it Is better to SOW
oats than barley. Drill in the oats deep
and use plenty Of seed. Roll the land
either at tho time Of sowing or after the
oats are up. Then when the weeds are
sprouted, and arc in the seed leaf, go
over the fold once or twice, or three
times. If necessary. with Il light, fine

can be narrowed with less injury to the
plants than barley. And if the soil and

and tho stirring Of the ground will be
favorable to the growth of the oats.

A Peculiar Ceremony

The Church of God, q sort of denomi-
national compromise between the Metho-
dists and Baptists, at Berks street and
Germantown avenue. was the scene OF a
peculiar ceremony last night. It had
been advertised that the washing of the
saints feet and the Lord'sSupper" would
come off at o'clock. AT that hour the
small edifce was crowded. The Rev. j.
M. Corvell, pastor, after q few prelimi-
nary remarks announced that they would
now proceed in accordance with the or
dinance to wash the saints feet and re-
quested the congregation to sing some
familiar hymn while those who we're
thus to give testimony to their faith came
forward. Twelve or fifteen persons of
both sexes rose and went forward, the
women taking seats before the altar or
one side while the men took seats on the
other. Two or three women then with
basins in their hand came forward, while
like number of men on the other side
dd the same thing, and, taking off the
shoes OF those before them, proceeded to
gently wash their feet, women doing SER
vice for the women and men for the men.
The minister then related the authority
from which this ceremony was derived,
and exhorted the saints to strive and
walk in the path of Him who set the ex-
ample to them. As soon as the washing
was completed the feet were dried with
ordinary coarse towels, the stockings re-
placed and, in the midst of another
hymn, the saints. took their seats. After.

For many years an old colored
woman in Richmond has been going to
the depot every day to meet the in-com-

containing twenty-five dollars. 1t seems
that soon after the war she was the
washerwoman for Yankee soldier, and
he went away, declaring that he would
return and pay his bill, which amounted
to twenty-five dollars, He never came,
but the old woman goes every day to the
train and inquiries if there is letter for
her.
JOHN MALONE was killed in Denton
County, Texas, by Fred. Ballinger The
killing grew out of misunderstanding
between the young men as to winch OF
them was to escort Miss Browning
from church. The words led to fist
fight, resulting in the whipping OF Bal
linger. Malone went into the house,
where he remained until the singing was
over. AS he stepped out of the door
Ballinger plunged a knife IN his breast
in the region of the heart, from the
effects of which Malone died in ten
minutes. Ballnger, mounting his horse,
rode away and is still at large. Both
parties are highly connected.
