Owing to some eccentrictics of the weather,
and q few other conditions quite as uncontrol-
able, the Summer Flower Snow at the Metro
pDlitan Concert Hall falls trife below some
of the exhibitions Of former years In general
excellence and yet in many OF its features it is
well worth careful study. The large daily at
tendance is evidence of the growing interest
which the city takes in such matters, and the
Horticultural Society should feel encouraged
to gather itself up for the effort to secure suit
able home. The enterprisng gentlemen of the
Society, who are contemplating the building of
Horticultural Hall, such as Boston and Pi,ila-
delphia already possess, will lay the city under
Obligations by carrying this wise project
through to speedy completion.

In the North the Democratic newspapers
throw mud at the Republican candidate; in the
South the Democratic voters throw rot

was broken up with arguments of this sort the

the country, and int imdation in the other. the

The NcwYork burglar is on his Summer
vacation, and now and then does job of work
in the suburban villages and watering places

resist. Bolts and locks arc as much needed in
the country as in town at this season Of the
year, aud O good watch dog is an excellent

Jefferson Davis energies from obscuiity to
testify in his own behalf in New Orleans
Court, in suit to set aside the will of Sarah
A. Dorsey, leaving HIM her property. He
said Ill his evidence yesterday that
Mrs. Dorsey believed the COnfederacy still
existed that its truths were eternal and
would prevail. He added that he believed
this, too, and said that if this was insanity
both lie and Mrs. Dorsey were crazy. The
form of lunacy affecting Mr.. Davis is, unfor-
tunately, still widely prevalent in the South.

How to do Coed Plowinr.

In the first place have your pillow
sharp. Even a good workman will
not be able to 10 good work with
bad tools. 1t is not enough TO turn
over q clean furrow. Good pillow
ing means the thorough pulveriza-
ton of the soil, and the best plow-
man is he who can break up the
ground into the finest particles.
Plow an inch or so deeper each year,
and thus deepen your seed bed and
bring the subsoil into contact with
light and air for their chemical OPP
erations. You can never go too
deep provided you go slowly. New
er be in u hurry at this kind of
work. If you have not the time to
do your work just right, make the
time. One acre well plowed is
worth two acres half way done. If
a rock or a root or any other oh
struction is in your way stop and
get rid of it entirely. If it is rock
put it on your fence or throw it
into a sinkhole; never let it bother
you again; dispose of it at once.
Do not ride on your your pillow han
dies. Your team has draught
enough TO overcome without your
laziness adding fifty pounds more.
Riding on the handles never does
good work. When done take your
pillow and clean it well and put it
under cover out of the way of wet
and moisture, which, like rot, soon
destroy a valuable implement.

Wouldn't Stay Dead.

The other day, down in Marys
vile, says ''Dorrick Dodd," just af.
ter the coroner had held an inquest
on a man found dead under a tree
the corpse quietly picked itself up
and walked off, not only beating
the coroner out of his fees, but
greatly scandalizing the jury, which
had formally found him as defunct
with heart disease. The cadaver i'm
pudently claimed to have only been
dead drunk, and although several
prominent citizens took him aside
and argued with him, and begged
him to crawl back into the coffin
and behave, the trifing fellow coolly
walked of after more beer. 1t is
just this reckless contempt for the
law, and this brutal Indifference to
the wishes OF others, that is sap
ping the foundations of this coun-
try and producing the hard times
under which We repine. The case
is a particularly hard one, as no.
body has died in Mary for five
years, and the coroner is forced to
practice on dead cats and things,
just to keep his hand in.

Farm and Home.
AND USEFUL REFORMATION.
Saving Clover Seed.

The very high price which farm
ers frequently have to pay for clo-
yer seed should induce them to save
at least sufficiency for their own
supply, and undoubtedly, II we'll
followed up, make it a very profta-
BILE business as a money crop. A
farmer, who is vouched for as one
of the best clover seed savers, gives
the following hints as to the saving
of the seed: "The second crop is
tor the seed, and is really fit for no
other purpose, as it salivates the
stock fed on it. The best time to
cut for seed is a very nice point to
determine. 1t should be cut when
majority Of the heads turn brown,
and before any begin to she'd off
the little seed pods, each OF which
contains a seed. Cut the second
crop of clover just as though it were
for hay, rake it into winrows and
let it lie and take one or two show
ers; then put it into very small
cocks while damp, about one good
pitchforkful in q place, anu when 1t
is dry put into stacks and cap with
something that will turn water. or
what is still better, if you have q
shed or barn, put it there and let it
remain until you get a huller to
take it out for you. Let our farm
ers save ali the clover seed they
can, and thus help to make thou
sands of dollars for the state, now
sent out each year for clover seed
to SOW" - Exchange.

is neither poisonous nor injurious.
Those who have worked upon it
for years in France say that they
have never caught any disease, and
that in it's normal state 1t is horny,
like the nails on ones fingers. Dark
brown hair is a great favorite with
the ladies of this country, and it is
said that a larger amount of this
color is worn than of any other.
White hair brings the highest price,
and all varieties or colors are sold
by the ounce.
White ranges from $15 to $40 an
ounce, according to its length. The
use of false hair is not confined to
the ladies, for on many gentlemen
we notice closely-fttting wigs of
that material, the best ones often
costing as high as $50. In the
make up of these. one hair at a
time is tied on to make it safe and
secure. Wigs or switches gener-
ally last as long as three years, and,
after that. are practically useless.
AS to the causes of badness, they
are to some extent connected with
artificial habits of life. TIE larger
deposit of fat in the female scalp,
which allows of free circulation in
the capillaries OF the skin, is held
by medical authorities to account
for the general exemption of wo-
men from badness, as compared
with men. The smoothness of a
scalp denuded of its natural cover
ing shows a denseness of texture in
the skin caused by the destruction
of the bulk of the hair and the clos
ure of the follicles. In this eOndi-
tioh all remedies are useless. The
silk hat so commonly worn by men
is probably responsible tor much Of
the prevailing badness, and the
fact that this ceases below the place
of contact with the head indicates
the mode of operation, the exclu-
sion of air and consequent exces-
sive production of heat. Goodness
of the head is a requisite for a
healthy growth of hair, which is apt
to come out in fevers and other
morbid states of the system. Moth
ing better can be devised for
the benefit of the hair than the
daily use of cold water, followed
by vigorous rubbing. The use of
animal fats is injurious by reason of
their heating properties, and light
cleansing and gently stimulating
wash is the most which Is needed
by way of artificial application to
promote the health and growth of
the hair. The blood, says a medi-
cal writer, is the only Macassar of
the hair, the only oil which can
with truth be ga. - ''insinuate its
balsamic properties into the pores
of the head" The fine network of
vessels on which the bulbs of the
hair rest is alone capable Of main
tanning its healthy existence. The
same writer adds: "We no not see
why internal separations should
not be tried, and we are not at all
certain that gelatine soups and pills,
made of the ashes of burnt hair,
might not be effectual in badness,
as those ingredients would supply
to the blood the materials necessary
TOR the production of hirsute
groWths."A

The Man With a Glass Eve.

Rocky Mountain News.
AS a train on the Kansas Pacific
pulled away from the Sixteenth
street depot, few mornings since,
a tall, angular specimen of humani-
ty took a seat opposite lady pas
senger, and, TO all appearances,
was intently engaged in studying
her face. At first the lady treated
the rudeness with good natured in
difference. But at last it began 20
tell on her nerves. 1t was a pecul-
lar and astonishing piece of imper-
tlnence. He apparently had the
faculty of looking two ways al ouce.
One Of his eyes was restless, excit-
ed and roved in all directions. The
other, fixed and stony, fastened on
her with an undertaking stare. She
turned her head away, but it inter-
cepted her vision. She tried to
hide behind a newspaper, but she
felt that cruel eye piercing through
the screen and creeping with q
stony look ali over her features
1t seemed to be picking them up
one by one and examining them
with care. The thing became unen
durable, and she cried out to him,
fiercely:
"Sir, why do you look at me so
persistently?"
ME, madam; why, bless my soul!
| havn't beer looking at you"
"You have, sir-for half an hour
or more your eye has been abso-
lutely rivete, on my face"
81 beg your pardon, madam; but
it is this eye, Is it not?" lifting his
finger to his left optic.
ayes, sir; it's that eye"
"Well, madam, that eye won't do
you any harm. 1t generally looks
any way it pleases-it gives me a
good deal of trouble. A great
many complain of it. At first l
thought they were making fun OF
me, but I've found out differently
now. I've been knocked down two
or three times for the impertinence
of that eye. l would leave it out
altogether but for the looks of the

cuse it. But, upon my soul, I'm
not surprised that even a glass eye
should feel interested 10 so pretty
a woman" and he brought his 9th
er eye to bear upon her in undIs
guised admiration.
The lady laughinglY accepted the
explanation, and the rest of the
journey was passed very pleasantly
to both of them.

Why the Rats Quilted Berry's Barn,

Says the Elmira { n. Y J Free
Press: Thomas j. Berry, II farmer
in Tioga, Penn, has no rats about
his barns, those pestiferous crea
lures whose creation cannot be ac-
counted for ON any reasonable ny
pothesis. More than twenty years
ago he accidentally discovered q
way that was to drive them from
his premises. Before that time
they had troubled him excessively.
At strengthening time he had
piled the freshiy-cut fieeces in his
barn in a ring-like position. Next
morning, in the dust in front of the
building, he noticed the tracks of a
multitude of little animals, all go
ing from the barn. He followed
them more than eighty rods in the
road when they disappeared in a
meadow lot. That was grand
emigration for him, as he has never
been troubled by similar beings
since. He thinks the odor Of fresh
fleeces was too much for the ro-
dents. OLher farmers might try
the experiment.

Poultry Notes.

What is chicken cholera and how
to cure it, that's the question, and
it will be FOR years to come. l do
not know OF any sure cure but one
for a clear case of cholera, and that
is to cut the head from the sick
chicken and plant it and the body
in your manure pile. You at least
gain something, while if lett with
the other chickens, the disease soon
spreads all through the flock.
Cholera and the bulk of diseases
which chickens are subject to are
caused from neglect. Keep your
houses warm and clean, feed your
chickens regularly with good nour-
ishing food, and they will be free
