1t is to be hoped that not many visitors
to the exhibition at the Crystal Palace,
Sydenham, will initiate the example Of q
gentleman who attended the opening yes
terday. In one of the refreshment-rooms
outside the palace he was in the afternoon
exhibiting to friend bit of machinery
Of his own in the shape of pistol.
The pistol exploded, the bullet went clean
through his hand, made deep indenta-
ton in the table, rebounced across the
room in an upward direction to the CELL
ing. Fortunately no one stood in the line
of fire. The gentleman was taken into
custody, but on the representation of a
palace officer that the affair was acct
dental, he WAS released. He was profuse
in his acknowledgements to the kind
hearted officer, and asked how he could
recompense him, and was told, by not
carrying loaded pistols about with you.
His reply naturally was, "Oh. we always

And green fields wait for me.

May lie and listen to the distant sea,
Or hear the breezes in the reeds that Sigh,
Or insect voices, chirping shriu and dry,
In fields: that wait for me.
These dreams Of summer come to bid me find
The forests shade, the wild birds melody,
While summer's rosy wreaths for me are
While summers fragrance fingers on the

A Screen For The Back Door.

screen tOr Inc lack Door.
From the American Agricultural
1t is often desirable to shut off view of
the back door and its surroundings by q
screen, so that the inmates may pass to the
dairy house, wood shed, and other out
highway, and others. A screen of lattice
work answers very we'll, and one made of
thin Stats crossing one another, and so
painted as not to be conspicuous, will pre-
sent neat appearance and be serviceable.
But such screen of it's self attracts atten-
ton, and is too artificial for country home.
A screen may be made of evergreens, set
in straight line to form a hedge. Or.
where the land can be afforded, they may
be set in two lines to fonm q broad belt,
the trees in one row being opposite the in
tervals in the next. This makes, perhaps,
the best Of living screens, ond take up
considerable space. Still the Norway
spruce. the tree on the whole best suited to
the purpose, will soon become large enough,
and some temporary screen may be used in
the meanwhile. If these trees are set in a
single line, they may be 10 feet apart. A
screen that's both serviceable and agreeable
to the eye, may be used by setting posts as
high as desired, along the line of the screen,
and connect the top Of these posts by cap
board. Below this cop stretch number
Of wires, and the frame work Of the screen
is complete. Plant along the screen every
OF 8 feet, quick growing grape vines. The
Clinton or Taylor are the most useful for
foliage, though the Concord will grow fast
enough, and give and abundance of fruit
besides. Until the grape vines are large
enough. ANNALS, such as morning Rlofies,
may be sown, or some roots Of the Madeira
vine planted. In three years, at the most,
the grapevine screen will be complete.
The vines should be trained with q view to
cover the screen with foliage.
