An occasional correspondent of the Bos-

Blaine has gained great strength of late.
and is TO have no little following in the
South, in quarters heretofore opposed to
him, and even now but little dreamed of
by the mass of politicians. Many South
ern statesmen, not belonging to the re-
publican party, express their undoubting
belief that Mr.. Blaine will be our next
President"

Geraniums in the Window Garden.

1t is'very rare to see a well-grown ge-
ranium in window culture. Even if the
plants bloom fairly, they are often
drawn up misshapen things, no, pleas
ing to look upon. In the majority of
cases. plants that have been set out in
the garden for the summer are allowed
to . go as you please" The roots find
ing an abundance of rich soil. the tops
grow of at famous rate. AT the APP
proach of cool weather the plants are
taken up as they stood; IL any cutting is
done, it is at the roots, to bring them
within the limits Of pot. and the plants
are placed in the window. As conse-
quence Of such treatment the majority Of
the leaves fade and fall, and show 3 lot
Of long, lanky stems, with q small tnf.
Of leaves ut the top. This coasItion OF
the plants is due either to q lack of
knowledge or to timidity. Amateur eul-
tivators, as general thing. seem TO fear
to use the knife; could the plants suffer
pain, they would not be more reluctant ,
to cut. The proper method is To pre-
pare the plants for taking in long before
the time for lifting them; but il is too late
TO advise that as it is to suggest pruning
them at the time Of taking them up.
Even at this late day ii is better to cut
back the geraniums to n good shape
than to let them remain as they are. OF
course each plant will have lis own
needs in this respect, and only general
advice can be given. Cut back the long
stems in such a manner that the plants
will form q low, rounded head, and re-
move altogether such branches rs viii
make the head too much crowded. In
pruning the stems, cut just above bud
or leaf scar. ftbe cut be made just be-
low bud. or halfway between two
buds, the stem will die down to the next
bud below, leaving an unsightly stub.
New growth will soon star. and the
plant will. after awhile. present an APP
pearance 50 greatly improved that the
owner will regret that il had not been
done before. Geraniums are not the
only window plants that need pruning
to keep them in a neat form. but those
who take proper care Of their plants can
do much Of this by pirching with the
thumb and finger nails, or removing al
those buds that sppear where
shoot is not desired. Acr,-

Various Causes

Advancing years, care, sickness, diSap-
pointment, and hereditary predisposi-
tion-al operate to turn the hair gray,
and either of them inclines it to shed
prematurely. AYERS HAIR VIGoR will
restore faded or gray, light or red hair
to n rich brown or deep black, as may
be desired. 1t softens and cleanses the
scalp, giving it healthy action. 1t
removes and cures dandrutf and humors.
BY its use falling hair is checked, and
n new growth will be produced in all
cases where the folliclcs are not de-
stroyed or the glands dccaycd. Its
effects are beautifully shown on brashy,
weak, or sickly hair, on which few
applications will produce the gloss and
freshness of youth. Harmless and sure
in its results, it is incompatible as
dsessing, and is especially valued
for the soft lustre and richness of tone
it imparts.
AYERS HAIR VIGoR is colorless !;
contains neither oil nor dye; and will
not soil or color white cambria; yet
1t lasts long on the hair, and keeps
it fresh and vigorous, imparting an
agreeable perfume.

The Purse Keeper.

When l tell you, my dear Mr.. Jones,
that your wife shrinks from asking you
for money, you wear an expression OF
marked disbelief; but it is true. To her
as with other women the idea of asking
for money is abhorrent. They put it of
from day to day. the dread of it is so
great They will wear expensive clothes
in the kitchen rather than ask for the
money needful for the purchase of plain
calico dress. Shrug your shoulders If
you choose, you unho,ieying husband,
and say, Il never knew such woman"
! beg Your pardon. but l must contra
diet you. The woman you call wife.
do believe would rather suffer with the
toothache than ask you for money; most
women do shrink from asking the head
of the family for money needful for
boots, clothing, and the common neccs-
sites of life; it is neither agreeable nor
pleasant to them and they should not BIO
forced to do it. A fixed allowance
should be given to them weekly or
monthly. Some husbands have seen
how much their mothers suffered for
want of money even when their fathers
were rich, and they profit by the fact
and give to their wives generous sup
ply. never forcing them to become APP
plicants for it, and by so doing they
greatly increase their domestic happi-
ness. Place confidence in woman's
ability to act, and she will fully repay
it; doubt her executive powers, refuse
her responsibility. and you may rue it.
If she is equal to the task OF being 3
wife and mother, she is fit to manage
The house-purse.

Lending Farm Tools.

The loss sustained by many farmers
by the practice Of lending tools is very
large. They lose by the injury done to
tools and by the Inconvenience occa-
stoned by their not being returned.
Some persons borrow tools and lend
them in turn to their next neghbors.
looking TO them to return them. II
they are broken or injured in any way.
it Is difficult to ascertain who is respon-
sible, and still more difficult to recover
any damages. There is economy in
having many kinds of tools do the work
they were designed for on several farms.
One breaking plow, seed-drill, and roll
en- can be made without difficulty to do
the WORK on several farms BY cooper
alton in the purchase and use of expen-
sive tools much money might be saved.
The members of the grange or club or u
number OF farmers living in the same
neighborhood can own tools in common
to excellent advantage. The lending of
tools in the ordinary way is ohjectona-
bic in every respect. The plan of rent
ing them for 4 stipulated sum for a
given time is at least worthy Of trial. 1t
was recommended to the Farmers club.
of Elmira, n T., some time ago, was
put in practice by some of the members,
and found to work satisfactorily. Some
small farmers hired all the machines
they used, and few hired the plows,
harrows, and cultivators they required
to work their land. Some wealthy
farmers found that there was money to
be made in keeping tools to let out. A
certain sum is charged per day or hour
for each machine or implement, and pay
is exacted from the time each is taken
till it is returned. This rule insures a
prompt return In many eases applca-
ton is made for a machine several days
in advance of the time it is wanted.
