Beautiful Women.

1t is not the smile Of a pretty face,
the delicate tint Of a complexion, the
Turing glance Of the eye, the beauty
and symmetry Of person, nor the cost
ly dress Of decorations that compoS+
a woman's loveliness. 1t is her
pleasing department, her ch~ste con-
versation, the sensibility and purity
of her thoughts, her affable and open
disposition her sympathy with those
in adversely, her comfort and relief
to the distressed and, above all, her
humility that constitute true lowell
ness. Disraeli observes: 1T is at
the feet of woman that we lay the lan-
rels that, without her smile, would
never have been won; it is her image
that tunes the Tyre Of the poet, that
an;mates the voice in the blaze Of el-
oquence, that guides the train in the
august toll ofstately councils. What
ever may be the lot of man-however
unfortunate, however oppressed-if
he only love and be loved, he must
strike balance in favor of existence,
for love can illumine the dark roof Of
poverty, and can Tighten the fetters
OF the slave. Beautiful women may
be admired, but who can refrain fron
loving the impersonation Of grace and
virtue we every day encounter in the
charmed circles of domestic life?

How AlligatOrs Eat.

An alligators throat is an anima-
ted sewer. Everything which lodges
in his mouth goes down. He is a
law dog, and instead of hunting for
something to eat, he lets his victual4
hunt for him. That is, he lies with
his great mouth open, apparently
dead, like the 'possum. Soon a bug
crawls into it, then fly, then several
gnats and colony Of mosyuitoes.-
The alligator does not close his mouth
yet. He is waiting for a whole drove
Of things. He does his eating by the
wholesale. A little later a lizzard
will cool himself under the shade OF
the pperjaw. Then frog will hop
up to catch the mosquitoes. Then
more more mosquitoes and gnats will
light on the frogs. Finally whole
village of insects and reptiles settle
down for an afternoon picnic. Then
all at once. there was an earthquake
The big jaw falls, the alligator bllnks
one eye, gulps down the entire me-
nagerie, and opens his great front
door again for visitors.

Value of Coal Ashes.

Look To Last Years Crafts.

Prom the Germaut9vu Telegraph
Now is the time TO examine the
gratis set last year. In many cases
1t will be found that the stocks, by
the growing Of the gratis, have split
open. exposing the inner wood. and
admitting air and water. This should
at once be tied lightly with strong
twinc, and surrounded with fresh
wax, removing any hard substance
that may have gotten into the split.
This will frequently repair the mis-
chief, otherwise the work will be sn
eyc-sOrc and the parts never become
Grmly attached and make a good
connection, and Of course a perfect
union.
Frequently double the number Of
scions are set that the stock will sus-
tain. These should be carefully gone
over and the excess reno, ed, leaving
those that spread somewhat from the
stock. Unless the stock is stout
say from two to four inches in diane
ter-not more than two gratis should
bc left, and they should be as nearly
AS possible opposite TO each other.
When the growth has been rapid the
graf should be shortened. This will
Of course increase the number of
branches and give the tree a more
compact form.
