Daylight Dances.

Daylight dances are fatal to romance.
Romance flies from them and takes
Iefog with the moon. stars, candles,
gas, electricity or torches. Daylight is
merciless to flushed cheeks, crushed
flowers and torn dresses. Many o man
has been disenchanted at the daylight
dance whose chains would have been
only the more firmly riveted at an even
ing ball. Christabel looks lovely
enough when she enters the room in
her fresh and dainty cambria gown and
that large hat enwreathed with roses.
Claude eagerly secures two or three
waltzes, but at the end OF The third the
fatal process of disillusion sets in.
That lovely creamy bloom that sat 80
freshly on her cheeks has given place
to q hard-baked brickdust red. The
soft eyes that beamed on him so kindly
when she came are no longer soft. The
glare of heat is in them. Two or three
hairpins are painfully apparent, having
been jerked out of position by the evo.
iutions of the waltz and the weight Of
the hat. Claude has large scratch on
his cheek, inflicted by the notched
brim of this very hat which he had
thought SO picturesque. He has
changed his mind about it, somehow.
his glance wanders to Christabel's ears
once so prettily pink. They look as il

OF them are men past middle life,
fathers of grown up children. some of
them grandfathers, and nearly all
prominently engaged in active business

Raspberrles on Sandy Soil.

When raspberries are to be grown on
poor, sandy land, the best mode Of
preparation is to open during autumn
deep burrows with two horses, six to
eight feet apart; thu to dig and haul
enough tide water muck to fill in the
burrows, which will be thoroughly
frozen before spring. and ct the ap-
proach of warm weather will crumble
and become mellow, SO as to spread
evenly; then apply good coat OF
ground bone or hair manure along the
rows, and set the plants two or three
feet apart, requiring about two thou
sand plants per acre. Bone, hoof,
horn. hair. or any refuse animal matter
is we'll adapted to promote the growth
of raspberries.

Why the Alligator Swore OFF.

A pet alligator at Camden, n j..
which was addicted to intemperance,
was reformed by putting jamaica gin
ger in its whisky. The blbulous educa-
ton OF the alligator was begun by
giving it drink Of port wine, and
from this it WAS but a step to whisky
and brandy, until the experiment he
came an expensive one. The story o
the saurian's reformation il thus told
by the owner:
at was like pouring water down q
rat hole, and we had to let up after the
irst day. The alligator got so fall
that he couldn't eat his breakfast the
oext day, and Put up one paw Us
though he had headache. The fun
was kept up for some time. until very
fanny gentleman happened in the
saloon one day and filed the alligator Z
shisky full of Jamaica ginger. That -
continued Mr.. Booker, looking fondly
ut bis pet, VINO bilnked stupiiiy, set
the poor fellow against whisky. Hs
reformed as suddenly as he took to
drink. We poured the liquor as usual
down the funnel, but before half the
tumbler had been emptied the alligator
Was standing on the Il ,or Kissing like
a snake. 1 started the funny man out
of the house with bung driver, and
the alligator cried large tears for nearly
two minutes. Since then the poor
fellow has been a little temperance
society all by himself. and drinks
nothing bat blood. and IS if to prove
the truth of the story, the alligator
slaahed his tail about and grinned
wider than ever.

Bacon and Bears.

Hunters have often used squealing
pig to decoy larger game, but it is not
often that "pork in the pan" serves a
similar purpose, IS related by the Vir-
ginia Enterprise:
A farmers wife was preparing dinner,
in the absence of her husband, when
the savory odor Of the bacon was
scented by couple of young bears.
and enticed them to follow the direc-
ton from which it came. They kept
the scent until it drew them even into
the house.
The lady of the house secured the
cubs, and her knowledge of bears led
her to think that these young ones had
strayed from their maternal parent,
which would soon follow the trail and
hunt them up. 1t was but few mo-
ments before the old she-bear came in
sight-sn enormous black bruin. The
woman drew down from its rack the old

missions many times before, AID fasten.

window and waited the approach of her
bearship. She did not wait long, and
fired. the ball taking effect, but not
proving fatal.
The report of the rife drew her labor
ing husband from his work, who, COM
ing near the house, was chased several
hundred yards by the bear, which then
gave up pursuit and returned in ques,

woodsman's wife had in the meantime
reloaded the rifle, and with the second
shot the old she.bear was killed. The

the sum Of eight dollars at the saDe
