Wheat Culture.

The time for seeding wheat should be
regulated by the appearance or non
appearance Of the Hessian fly. In local.
tiles where the fly does not appear, it is
well TO SOW early enough for the plant to
make good, strong fall growth. The
larger and stronger the roots, the more
certain it is To Withstand the frosts of
winter, but where the fly has made its
appearance, it il far better to risk the
winter-killing than the fly. The more
rapid the growth of wheat when it comes
up, the surer it is of escaping the raw
ages of this insect. The value of guano
and kindred ammoniacal fertilizers large
" depend on their stimulating such rapid
growth rs to overcome the attacks Of the
pest.
Another way of lessening its depreda-
tons is to cultivate it once or twice as
the blade begins TO widen. The wheel
hoe runs between the rows, and by stir
ring the soil, promotes growth, disturbs
the fly, and knocks off or destroys great
numbers of the larvae. which are deposit
ed in little patches on the upper surface:
of the leaf, where, If undisturbed, they
are Matched and crawl down to the foot OF
the leaf stock and suck out the juices Of
the plant. 1t is well known that wheat
ON rich ground can Withstand the fly
much better than wheat on poor ground.
Anything, therefore, which adds vigor
and strength to the plant, increases it's
juices, like fertilizers or culiivating with
a wheat hoe, will enable it TO better with
stand the fly. There can be no doubt, if
seed rows were twelve inches apart in
stead of eight, aud then the wheat hoed
in the spring as well as in the fall, about
the time of the attack of the second crop
of the fly, that the depredations of
the fly would he greatly lessened and the
crop of wheat greatly increased. 1t has
been tried and proved.-Practicat

The White Witch OF Bath.


There was an old woman of Bath, her
name was Ann Crosby, and she earned
her livelihood by telling fortunes. Many
highly credulous servant girls and imag-
NATIVE milliners' apprentices placed i'm
plicit faith in the Vaccinations of the
prophetic Ann, and were ever ON the
lookout for the "dark young man from
across the water" and the fair but de-
ceitful friends" who, to serve their pri-
waite purposes would not scruple to ira.
duce companions lover. Many Were
the pieces of silver which found their
way across the hand into the pocket of
the White Witch of Bath; and many
were the cards which she shuffied and the
dupes whom she befooled. Unfortu-
nately, it happened, about week ago,
that the ancient prophecies was sitting
before the fire, looking into the future
and the flames, when a spark flew out of
the CRATE, yet fire to her dress, and before
assistance could he rendered, the old
woman of Bath was burned so severely
that shortly afterwards she died. The
credulous folk of the city of many pumps
had kept Ann Crosby 30 busily engaged
that she had found no time to tellher own
fortune.

In the HOLY Land.

DR.. Chaplin writes from Jerusalem to
the committee of the Palestine explora-
ton fund: "Some time ago the tombs
of the kings were purchased by French
lady, and excavations of considerable
interest have lately been carried on there.
In the earth which filed q great portion
of the rock-hewn, sunkeu court in front
of the entrance to the tombs have been
found many capitals and other architect
ural remains, among them some stones
which show beyond question that they
formed part of pyramidal structure.
There seems to be no reasonable doubt
that these belongs to the famous three
pyramids of the monuments of Helena,
and have been thrown down from above.
A great marble statue, probably Roman,
has been found few minutes from the
seashore, an hour and half south Of
GAIA. 1t is half figure, nose and right
forearm broken off. In the Shephelah,
an hour or more north of the Jaffa road,
q tomb has been brought to light. One
of its stone doors has carving upon it in
four panels, on two Of which are repre-
sensations of lions heads, in two Of bulls
heads. Probably the tomb is of crusad-
ing origin. 1t has again been covered
in. had hoped to be able to visit it rs
well as the statue below GAIA, but could
not leave home. 1t is said that the
statue is to be brought to Jaffa."

The Washington correspondent Of the
st. Louis Globe Democrat gives the
following description of the costume of a
New York lady at one of the White House
receptions:
For absolute magnificence of costume
the palm belonged to Mrs. Matthews, of
New York. The waist and train of her
dress were of black velvet, and the petit
coat Of the deepest cream satin, with falls
of antique Venetian lace bordering the
train and covering the front of the dress.
The lace, ancient and yellow, fine as
cobweb, without an imperfect or broken
mesh, was such us one never sees outside
of art museums and connoisseurs' col
lections. Across the train the price
less point was half yard in depth.
Down the front and ON the bodice il was
in such falls and cascades of yellow rich
ness that one could hardly take in the
exquisite details of such remarkable
costume. In jewels, the queen of fairy
story could hardly have equalled Mrs.
Matthews ornaments. A small bird of
Paradise in diamonds flashed with q
thousand fires from the dark braids of
her hair; her earrings were long, spray
like settings of diamonds; from the vel
vet band around her neck depended an
immense oriental topaz incrusted with
diamonds and two flaming opals, swing
ing in frame of gold with fringe Of

Garden Luxuries.


Nature and little attention. to garden
ing, with small piece of ground, and
perhaps 1 might add, little skill, will
provide q family with Injuries for the
table oil through the summer, and at a
cost so trihing as hardly to be worth
consideration. / was thinking to-day, as
my wife announced that we had reached
about the last mess of evergreen sweet
corn, what feast we had enjoyed from
April to October in one line of vegetables;
and then / thought further that perhaps
the information might be benefit if
published, 30 1 sent you this scrap. /
think it was about the middle of April we
commenced cutting asparagus, and we
did not tire of this or stop cutting until
about the last of June, when the early
peas were fit for picking. / had three
varieties-early, middle and late, follow
ing in nice succession. took no note of
dates, but think we enjoyed them till
about the middle of August, when the
Minnesota corn was fit for the table, fol-
lowed by later kind, and these by the
evergreens. / think might have spent
hundreds of dollars for my little family
in costly Injuries that would not have
afforded such healthful food and
such real pleasure as We OBJ
tanned in the manner described,
almost for nothing. In some of
your books, q long time ago, saw
plan described of growing an early and
late kind of pea in the same row, or a row
of each to climb on the same brush. l
tried that method this season, making a
row of early peas aud row of late, eight
or ten inches apart, and putting the
sticks or brush between the rows. The
result was satisfactory. When the early
kind was gone the late had the brush all
alone.

The CorpOral's Little Story.

IFrom the Springfield (Mass.l Republican,
Shortly after the civil war had ended,
a young rustic in army blue, with mus.
ket, stopped ON his homeward way at
our house. That faded dingy blue was
the most interesting color in the world
then, and the veriest ne'er-do-wel in the
village was hero, and as this soldier,
scarcely more than q boy, ate his dinner,
we felt grateful to him. He had a SIM
pie narrow mind, which all his expert
ences of camp and field had not deeply
impressed. Presently he said he'd got
somethin' he didn't know but we'd Like
to see, and pulled out of breast pocket
leather case which he opened, dIsclos-
ing large bronze medal. We read the
inscription; it was to the effect that the
Congress Of the United States presented
this medal to Corp for bravery in
the field. Then, of course, he had to
tell us the story, something after this
fashion: "Wal, We see, it was down ter

The Loss OF MOzart's Skull.
From the London Echo.l

A Vienna correspondent says that re-
cent search after the missing skull of the
"tone-poet," Mozart, has resulted in the
discovery that it is now hopelessly ire
coverable. The grave-digger, Braun,
whose father shoveled in the earth up
on the coffin of Mozart, and who was
present as boy at the great composers
funeral, and in later years succeeded to
his fathers office-is known to have dug
up Mozart's skull, and preserved it as a
precious relic until his old age, when he
bequeathed it to O copper-plate en-
graver, Jakob Hyrtl. In the year 1866
Baron Helfert sent for Hyrtl, and ques-
toned him about the relic which was
supposed to be inh his keeping. calais !"
said Hyrtl, sit is now several weeks

session Of it robbed me of all peace, and

skull and rebury it in consecrated ground,
out of which it ought never to be taken. I"
"Do you know the spot" asked the
baron, Gin which it was reburied?"

NATIONS prefer high coiffures.
ORIENTAL designs prevail in the new
spring goods.
THE latest are linen handkerchiefs of
robins egg blue, with little dots.
JET and beaded embroideries must be
very fine to meet the requirements Of
taste and fashion.
PRETTY new breakfast caps are made
of pieces of Oriental silk, with white
Breton lace ruffies edging them.
LARGE bonnets with poke brims and
wide strings tying them down over the
ears, are becoming more popular.
CHANTILLY lace scarfs are worn in
Paris across the crowns Of fur turbans,
and tied under the chin as strings.
CINDERELLA shoes, to be worn un.
der short dresses, are cut low and are of
various colors, and embroidered with
pearls and gold.
THE long overdress, which has recent
~ been revived is nothing but grace
fully draped princess polonaIse, which re-
quires only hounce to complete the
costume.
cllrled hair cover the whole crown of the
head, coming low on the forehead, and
fastened beneath the knot with small
shell comb on each side.
LARGE pins have again come into use,
and favorite mode of arranging the
back hair is to twist the same into a
double ring and fasten it with two or
more large gold-headed pins.
In the spring the polonaise will be
generally revived. Its composition will
be somewhat changed, but it will be the
polonaise again. Princesse dresses will
be worn also, but with certain changes.
The latest novelty In the way of max
ing up velvet Is to have the dress COM
posed of perfectly plain corsage, plain
coat sleeves, and plain demi-trained
skirt without founces, tablier, or over
skirt.
The cloak that will be made for early
spring is an ulster, close fitting, with
coat seams acoss the waistband, long
skirt, with Tapped folds and square pock-
cts. They are made in light colored
cloth, with small breast pockets. The
dolman in its various forms will be in all
suitable fabrics for early spring wear.
FASHION was never more friendly to
economy than at the present time. and
pieces of material which are Of no use III
any form may be made into puffs, which
look exceedingly well mixed in with a
little pleating for the foot Of the skirt.
An entire tablier made of such small
pieces requires only nice joining, press
ing and accurate shirring.
ONE essential preliminary in removal
ing silks, or any other half worn fabric,
is that of ripping carefully with a small
sharp pen knife and picking out the loose
threads. In washing, the material
should be lifted up and down in the wa
ter until it is thoroughly saturated and
made clean, and afterward changed from
the soap bark water to clean tepid Or cold
water,

Hands Off.

Olive Logan got mad III other day
and got off the following: "a woman's
safeguard is to keep mans hands off
her. n you need his assistance in walk
ing take his arm instead Of him taking
yours. just tell him in plain English TO
'hands off. He may not ike it at first,
but he will respect you in tie future ten
fold more. Men viii be and do Just what
the women allow them to d. Men will
not do to trust. Give maa your arm,
and you will find him very confidential,
and he will take great many privileges
he would not take il he were not per-
mitted to do so. He will give your arm
many loving squeezes and sly twists that
he could have no opportunity of doing,
and the opportunity is just what he is
after. A few more words Of advice and
close. Keep young girls off the street,
except when they have business. Teach
hem it is unnecessary to 60 to the post
Office every time they go out. Your girls
can walk alone Just as well as your boys.
Don't allow your girls, if they must have
a beau, to go with boys much older than
themselves. If possible, instill into
their very nature that they are safer In
their own hands than they are in the
hands of any man-preachers not ex-
cepted."
