A Curious Freak OF Fashion.

Do you know the latest fashion, No
Well, 1t is for a young woman to have a
photograph taken of her hand and to
present it as souveniI'to her intimate
friends. The great question, "What
Shall do with my hands seems at last to
have been answered. by fashion, which
says, "Hava them photographed" The
triafof properly &sposing OF the hands
has always been great with those who
visit the photographer. To hold fan

ing why it was that the year 1881 should
be deemed peculiarly portentous. Ac7-
cording to Newton the danger which
threatens the earth from comets is not
that they will strike the earth, but that
one of them may fall into the sun; and
according to some astronomers the sud
den solar outburstwitnesse by Caring
ton and Hodgson in September, 1899,
was due to the supposed fact that then
q great meteoric mass fell into the body
of the sun. Following this theory many
facts were brought to light, or rather
were artisticalIy used to support the
doctrine that the outbursts whereby
some of the fixed stars-that is to say,
some of the suns-have from time to
time blazed up with unusual brilhancy
were occasioned by the impact of COM
cts upon them. But of real facts tend
ing to show this to be true none have
yet been forthcoming. All is conjecture

The Wheat Nudge.

There are two insects known as
midges, the red nudge (Cecidomvci
trittci), a species of the same germs as
the Hessian fly; and another, the yell
low nudge, a smaller fly. These both
prey upon the head of the wheat, in the
chaff and on the kernel, while the grain
is green and cause it to blast before it
has effected its maturity. The first
named pest resembles the Hessian fly
in appearance, though the color of its
body is yellow, while that of the Hessian
fly is black.
TtaYIng UUmmiUted their depredations
on the growing crop, the mdges for the
most part return to the ground before
the wheat is harvested, there to remain
during the. winter. In the following
spring they appear in the pupa state
and by June become a perfect insect,
ready to deposit eggs in the blossom of
the wheat.
While there are no certain remedies
for growing wheat infected with midges,
early planting, thorough culture and
early harvesting, it is believed, tend to
prevent the evil somewhat. d. S. Cur
tiss, in his manual on wheat culture,
recommends where the wheat is sown in
wide drills that sulphur be sprinkled
over the heads of grain when wet with
dew. This suggestion might be car
ried out on small plot, but would not
be practicable under most circum.
stances.
Much may be done in way of prevent
ing an appearance of the pest another
season. Whenever the screenings OF
the fanning-mill abound with the yellow
larvae of the nudge these screenings
should be burned, or fed under cover to
swine and poultry. If carelessly thrown
out the Larvae will eventually mature in
to swarm of flies that will exist at the
expense of the wheat crops the follow.
ing season. The midges that leave the
wheat heads previous to harvest may be
diminished II not enteirely eXterminated
by turning the wheat stubble under with
plow and burying them to such q
| depth that in their efforts to work theiI
way UP to the surface the following
spring they will become exhausted aud

Oh, sweet are the scents and songs Of spring,
And brave are the summer flowers;
And chill are the autumn winds, that bring
The winters lingering hours.
And the world goes round and round
And the sun sinks into the sea
And whether I'm on or under the ground,
The world cares little for me.
The hawk sails over the sunny hill;
The brook trolls on in the shade;
But the friends have lost lie cold and still
Where their stricken forms we're laid.
And the world goes round and round,
And the sun slides into the sea:
And whether I'm on or under the ground
The world cares little for me.
0 life why art thou so bright and boon
breath why art thou SO sweet
o friends, how can We forget so soon
The loved ones who lie at your feet
But the world goes round and round
And the sun drops into the sea,
And whether I'm on or under the ground,
The world cares little for me.
The ways of men are busy and bright;
The eve of woman is kind
1t is sweet for the eyes to behold the light.
But the dying and dead are blind.
And the world goes round and round,
And the sun falls into the sea.
And whether I'm on or under the ground,
The world cares little for me
But if life awake, and will never cease
On the futures distant shore,
And the rose of love and the lily Of peace
Shall bloom there forevermore,
Let the world go round and round,
And the sun sink into the sea,
For whether I'm on or under the ground,
Oh, what will it matter to me

Gentle Jane.

Gentle Jane was as good as gold,
She always did as she was told,
She never spoke when her mouth was full,
Or caught blue bottles their legs to pull
Or split plum jam on her nice new frock,
Or put white mice in the eight day clock,
Or vivisected her last doll.
Or fostered passion for alcohol.
And when she grew up she was given in marriage
To first class earl who keeps his carriage.

cabin, but Antonio, on entering found 1t empty
An alarm was given, the engines were stopped.
and search was made in every part of the vessel
The surface of the sea swept by glasses, but
trace of the captain was discovered. The steamer
was then put back over her course about twenty
miles, but with no better success The sea was
perfectly calm and the sun was shining brightly
Captain Penney was good swimmer and could
sustain himself for hours in the water At the
time he disappeared numbers of men were at work
about the deck or rigging, and the least cry could
have been heard had any one fallen over Those
who saw him at the time of giving the order say
he appeared as usual He was of good family, his
father being wealthy shipbuilder owner and con
tractor in England and he was engaged to young
woman of Bristol. They were to be married at the
end Of the voyage.
