Hats in Church.

To all wearers of silk hats, when once
they get inside the church, the hat be-
comes a serious difficulty. Of all the
various expedients by which ingenious
church-goers have endeavored to safely
dispose of their hats there is no one
that has not proved to be fallacious.
The extreme danger of placing a hat
in the aisle Immediately outside the
pew is universally known. The first
lady that sweeps up the aisle carries
with her a confused mass of defenseless
hats, which are deposited in the shape
of terminal moraine in the front of
the pew which is her final goal. Of
course the hats which have been sub
jected to this process are reduced by
attrition to rounded form, and are COW
cred with scratches, reminding one of
glacial action on granite boulders.
However interesting they may be to the
geologist, they are of no further value as
hats, and can rarely be bent into shape
that will allow their owners to wear them
home. In the days when expansive erin
olines were in fashion, the fate of the
hat deposited in the aisle was still more
appalling. When q well-dressed lady
passed by its vicinity it disappeared to-
tally from sight. There are cases on re-
cord where one fashionable woman has
caused the disappearance of thirteen sep
arpte hats during her passage from the
church door to the pew in the
neighborhood of the pulpit. What
was the final fate of those
hats was never ascertained. They
simply vanished and left no trace be-
hind. AS to putting ones hat on tn G
floor underneath the seat, no man who
follows this reckless course can expec;
anything but disaster, If there is 0
small boy in the pew he viii in.
| fallibly discover that hat and kick il
| to the further end of the pew within
the first thirty minutes of the service
If there is o lady in the pew surgical
operation will be required to remove
! her boot from the interior of the hat
while, in any event. the hat is Ger
tain to absorb every particle o.
dust within radius of eight feet, anC
to fasten itself to the floor with the ait
of forgotten Sunday-school gum-drops
Neither under the seat, on the seat, no.
in the aisle, can the worried hat fine
rest, and the plan of establishing a hat
pound in the vestible, where hats can b,
ticketed and kept during the service
would simply result in converting
church into hat exchange, where TIN
sinners would secure all the good hats
and the saints would be compelled t,
content themselves with the worn-ou
and worthless ones.-Hdttey'S Exchange

Church Music in America.

AS regards general musical culture,
the public may be divided into two
classes-those who go to the theaters
and those for whom the church is the
social center. In both church and
theater the standard of music is
low one. In the church, where,
first of all, sincerity should pre-
vail, and where nothing but healthy
food should be given, the music
is looked upon as an attraction, and
given as an amusement. 1t is largely
operatic, it appeals to the senses only,
and it is too often Of the sickly senti-
mental order In those churches only
which have congregational singing is
the sense of what is suitable and de-
corous not offended. In this criticism 1 do
not include some of the Roman Catholic
churches. The priest estimates at its full
value the power of music over the masses,
and co-operates with the organist to pro-
duce a good musical service. Why can
not this be done in the Protestant
churches? Pleasing music need not be
tIihing or sentimental there are many
beautiful works not suited for the con

for the sake of truth and propriety. The
most exalted and artistic church service
is the proper one. The music which
will inspire those feelings which ought
to fill the soul of every worshiper is noble,
good music-not sentimental, not sec
ular, but lofty and devotional. That this
low standard of church music exists is
not owing to the want of competent
organists, for we have many of ability
but rather to the fact that they are
hampered in their attempts to introduce

What the New Stove win Do.

When the stove and fuel gas come
into general use-when mans wife can
broil steak, cook oysters on toast, bake
potatoes, make an omelette and peform
several other culinary feats inside of ten
minutes, without the annoyance of ashes,
or the faintest odor escaping from the
cooking, she will acquire such a sweet
and even temper in the morning that she
will retain a large portion of it when
her weary husband returns home an hour
after midnight and instead of finding
her with a scowl on her brow and a club
in her hand he will see her soundly
slumbering, with sweet and self-assu-
ring smile playing about her mouth, and
nicely prepared lunch awaiting him on
the bureau. But the professors patent
will be mighty rough on the divorce

Chenp Fodder.

Last August, says writer in the Hus-
baadman, my men sowed few pounds
of strap-leaf turnip seed between the
rows of tobacco on a piece of about two
acres. No care was taken to avoid
tramping the young plants in harvesting
the tobacco, and no attention was paid
to them afterward, except to keep off
stock. The result was 300 bushels of
wel-grown turnips. These 1 had piled
in heaps of about 90 bushels each, and
well covered with earth. The tops make
excellent fodder for young cattle, and
the roots are good food for mich cows.
In this season of high-priced fodder my
turnips will prove a good investment.
Hereafter I shall not be without crop
of turnips for feeding.

New Potatoes.

Among the new potatoes offered by
seedsmen are five varieties named and
described as follows.
Queen of the Valley.-A very large,
long, fattened variety, deep pink at the
seed end, shading to nearly white at the
base. The immense yield of this vari-
ETY., of nearly all large sized. tubers,
must secure large demand for it.
Extra Early Peachblow.- Very early,
round, with white pink eyes, similar in
appearance, but smoother and not as
deep-eyed as the peachblow, which, it
resembles in all its good qualities, with
the additional advantage of extreme
earliness.
White Elephant. Late, long, cylin-
drioal, with depressed eyes, skin white
and smooth. Flesh fine-grained, White
and OF good quality. A productive and
valuable winter variety.
Adirondack-Late, round, dark copper
red. In general character similar to
the old Peachblow, but harder and
more prolific. Said to suffer less from
drought than other varieties.
white Star.-A cross between Excel
sior and Peaehblow. Medium late, cyl
indrical, of good uniform size, white, OF
excellent quality, keeps well and yields
profusely

Destruction of Canada ThistIes.

A contemporary notices two modes of
destroying this weed, says the Country
Farmer, one of which is to be table
spoonful of salt on each stalk or stub.
causing the plant to wilt, become dry
and disappear by October. This is
recommended as better than the other
mode, which is to cut off each plant with
a knife just below the surface of the
ground, as one does asparagus. These
modes may answer for very small patches
in gardens, but any one may easily
contrast its economy in labor on large
scale on a farm, with the rapid work of
turning the plants under with a plow.
We have destroyed many acres in this
way, so that not plant ever reappeared.
A strong pair of horses will turn over sod
eight inches deep, and much lower than
the knife in the hand will go; and if the
work is thoroughly done and no stalks
left, the plants will stay under the
inverted soil for three or four weeks,
unless in very porous or light soil, which
must be plowed oftener. The only
failures which we have known with this
treatment was where the plowing was so
imperfectly done, or so long intermitted,
that stragglers found their way to the
light and furnished a feeding to the
roots below.
