Behavior.

1t is great blessing to have q
but this may be the case, and yet
one not be familiar with many of
the shifting manners and customs
of the great world called society"
Points that were once high etiquette
are now just as far the other way.
So new books are issued from time
to time, to keep the rising genera
ton posted. - fo'
There are those who affect to des-
pise these arbitrary rules, but the
ignorance. or the right thing to do
in the right place is as uncomfor-
table position as q young man or
woman cares to be placed in.
A lady who was once at an Empe-
ror's table in Russia, in company
with her father, had plate of
white grapes passed to her by a ser
want. She took off q cluster and
laid them by b plate, just as she
would have done at home. What
was her CONSERVATION, when she
observed that Others took off but one
or two grapes, cutting them with q
little gold knife which lay on the
plate. Even the Emperor only
took three. White grapes in that
land in the winter season were as
costly as golden grapes would
have been. The entertainment was
thoroughly spoiled Tor her, and
every remembrance of it was most
annoying and painful Yet this
in reality was but trife. o2
You see how small a matter can
disturb ones quiet of mind and very
likely many OF you know from per
sonal experience. A good remedy
for ignorance on any point is to
''read on the subject"

Cotton Culture,

The "Crump" process Of cotton
culture 10 40 follows: Prepare the
land in December by digging holes
three feet from each other, eighteen
inches square and eighteen inchsa
deep; fill within four, inches of the
top with manure; then fill the re-
mainder of the way with good top
soil. He plants with view of hav-
ing three stocks to the hill, and
piles the clay from the bottoms of
the pit - deep over the tops - the
supply will admit OF, With a view of
keeping down the grass and weeds;
then cultivate with a hand hoe,
never using the plough. By put
ting in the manure in December its
fiery qualities are subdued. One
manuring answers for three crops,
the second crop being superior TO
the first and third. In this way
two or three acres. it is said will
produce as much cotton as twelve
planted in the usual way. The
yield ranges from 1000, to 1910
pounds of ginned cotton to- the
acre. nm Ar d

Lime in Agriculture.

The Journal of Forestry briefly
sums up many of the uses of lime
when applied 70 the soil. The eff
tests of lime, as WILDE seen, are in
part mechanical and in part chemi-
cal. c -s -
L. Upon deep and alluvial and
clay soil it increases the crop OF
potatoes, and renders them less
waxy. Sp-inkled over potatoes in
the store heap, it preserves them.
and when riddled over the cut sets,
it wonderfully increases their fer
tility. uar
2. Lime eradicates the finger-ahd-
toe disease i'll 1tnrnips, and gives
greater sounoness to the bulbs.
3. 1t gives, when applied to
mesdow land, a larger produce of
more nutritious grasses. 1T also
exterminates coarse and sour grass
es, destroys couch grass, and acts
powerfully upon rye grasses.
4. Upon arabic land it destroys
weeds of various kinds.
8. 1t rapidly decomposes vegeta-
BILE matter, producing a large
amount for plants in tn. form of
carbonic acid gas.

AManly Little Fellow.

r. M. Bell in Rural World: A
strong, vigorous, manly boy from
near Bonneville, Mo-, in . venture
some way, went to Texas with good
clothes, $500 in cssh, and his eyes
wide open At first he looked about
some. Then put his money into q
livery stable in San Antonio. The
business was overdone, but he staid
until he about got his money back
again, when a chum wanted him to
join him in q lark towards Eagle
Pass. They finally bought some
sheep and drove Them; TO San Anto-
MO, and sold for mutton. This was
to have been the end OF handling
stock, but the partner in the livery
stable had sold everything and run
away, taking all the Missouri boys
clothes. IT his nice new ovencoat
and gloves had not been gone he
would have gone home to Missouri,
but he had not money enough to
buy another one and money enough
to go home hole, as became. And
be was too proud to come home
worse dressed than when he went
away. $40 BOOK Il o.
s. So he and the chum went back to
see what they could find in the
brush. This time they bought
beef caJtle, so cheap that they put
in all the money they had except

The Miseries ofan Elaborate Couture

History gives an account of how,
many hundred of years ago, ladies
devoted several hours to the ar.
rangement of their hair. One can
easily imagine, while gazing upon
the portraits of court ladies and
queens and seeing their elaborate
coiffures, how much time could be
given to the art. And yet ladies' OF
the present day, in order to have
the services of certain hairdressers,
will often have their hair dressed a
whole day and night before they are
ready to appear st y reception or
ball, and many of them are known
to sit bolstered up in bed, with
head resting against the head
board of the bedstead, afraid to
move or hardly to breathe for fear
lock or hair pin might be disar-
ranged.
