The Estimate of Character.

It is one of the sorry truths in ethics
that the estimate OF mans character
depends almost entirely upon the char
scter of the people with whom he comes
n contact. Nature, ever the same,
bears utterly different messages to the
cheerful and to the melancholy man, to
the scientist and to the ignorant, to the
artist and to the ordinary looker.on. The
outside world reflects to each one the
world within. Social life, too,
is q response to character. The
selfish man is convinced of the
selfishness of his neigbbors, while
the generous man sees only their kind.
ness. The cold heart thinks that hu-
manity is barren of affection, while the
loving spirit finds it overhowing all
around him. Deceit is ever distrustful,
while sincerity extends the cordial grasp
of confidence. The passionate meet
With violence and the rude with rude
ness, while the gentle and corteous re-
joice in the gentleness and courtesy
extended to them. Each quality has o
attraction By which it draws
out its like in others. the bad eliciting
what is bad, the good and pure drawing
out and developing goodness and purity.

Worms und Bugs.

The Farm and Garden says in relation
to the attacks of worms and bugs: To
save all sorts of vines from the attacks
Of bugs and worms requires constant
watchfulness and timely use of reme-
dies. There is no use in trying to drive
the yellow.striped cucumber bug off
after it has injured half the plants in
your patch. Prevent it coming on by
changing the natural scent of the vines.
Sprinkle your vines frequently, and
just as soon as they appear above
ground, with water in which little
kerosene oil has been mixed, or with a
weak solution Of csrbolic acid, or with
plaster scented with kerosene, or with
real rank-smelling manure water.
Either of the above, if applied daily,
will generally keep the bugs of. The
large, black squash bug must be hunted
up every day from among your vines
and killed. These. bugs like to seek
shelter under some chips, little pieces
of boards, shingles, etc., which you
may place among your vines, so You
will know where to look for the pest.

A Seasonable Hint.

"The practice" says an exchange,
"of allowing grass to run to seed on the
land is very mischievous. Many farm
ers do it under the impression that it
improves the pasture, but it has exactly
the opposite effect. Grasses, If allowed
to grow unchecked by moving, become
exhausted and soon die out. Indeed,
many varieties are not strictly peren-
nial and perish if allowed to ripen seed,
Moving or grazing are indispensable
for obtaining and preserving good
pasture. Those who cut grass for hay
should select that stage for moving
when the esrlier varieties are in full
flower. There is in all grasses, and es-
pecially in clovers, constant secretion
of saccharine matter in their stems
during their early growth, and, the best
hay is made by those who select the
best time to NOW, which is indicated
when the grasses are in flower and be-
fore Shey begin to turn color" If you
want a close, we'll filed lawn be es.
pecially careful to keep it cut. Lawn
and pasture grasses pfepaeeate them
selves through their roots and not from
seeds dropped.

Interesting Facts Concerning Water.

Interesting Facts Concerning Water:
One gallon of distilled wster weighs
lob.
One gallon Of sea water weighs
1O.32lb.
1.S cubic feet of water weighs l cwt.
Sixty-si1 cubic feet weigh ton and
equal 224 gallons.
One cubic foot contains 81 gallons.
In pipes the square Of the diameter in
inches equals pounds weight Of water
per yard. E1ample-A thfee-inch pipe
holds 9 lbs. per yard.
LOO inch of rain is about one ton
weight to the acre.
A nominal horsepower for boiler
requires one cubic foot of water per
hour
culafapertures are most effective
for discharging water, since they have
less frictional surface for the whole
area.
The ordinary speed to run pump is
eighty feet to 100 feet per minute.
The pressure in pounds per square Of
O column of water is the height of the
column in feet multiplied by .434, or
for an approximation one-half pound
pressure per square inch for each foot
of height.
Water, in flowing through an aperture,
has velocity equal to that acquired by
heavy body falling freely from
height equal to the distance between
the center of the aperture and tho
surface of the water.
Doubling the diameter Of an aperture
increases the flow fourfold.
A man can raise water from we'll ten
feet deep at the rate Of thirty gallons
per minute.
The approximate time occupied in
discharging equal quantities of water
under equal heads, through pipes Of
equal lengths, varies from ninety for
straight line, 100 for curve, to 14O for
q right angle.-Mechdnical World.

A Steers Eye.

The eye of a steer, when prominent,
bright and clear, with q. mild and gentle
expression, is an indication of health,
with quiet disposition and good feed
ing quality. If the eye is dull and
sunken the capillary circulation will be
defective, and the functions of nutrition
imperfeotly performed, and there will
not only be deficiency in the ability
to fatten, but a lack of strength and
constitutional vigor. A restless and
wild expression Of the eye indicates
predominance OF nervous action and an
unquiet disposition that is not COM
pstible with good feeding quality,

The fish.hswk, with an eye to break
fast, catrhes fish and flies toward his
nest. An eagle, who can't fish but can
steal, has watched the fsherman's sue

fright causes him to drop the fish,. the
eagle siezes it, and bearing it to his
eyrie, eats it at his leisure. The Phila-
delphia Times tells an incident which
exhibits an old baboon as robbing in q
similar fashion:

A Swiss process of removing the bran
of wheat without loss of nutritive mat
ter consists in soaking the grain before
grinding in a solution of caustic soda

hull proper, so that it may be removed
by the slightest friction, leaving the
gluten with the body of the grain.

The Origin Of Some Familiar Express
sions.

The word "Hurrshsais pure slavon-
ian and is commonly heasd>from the
coast of Delmatia to Behring's strait,
when any ONE of the population living
within those limits is called on to give
proof of courage or valor. The origin
Of the word belongs to the primitive
idea that every man who dies heroically
for his country goes straight to heaven

"shebang," which sometimes means
hut, sometimes low place of resort,
originated with the pupils of Yale COL
lege, New Haven, who used it to indi-
cate their rooms or hall fitted up for
some theatrical oroetker performance.
It never was English.
ga little bird told me" comes from
Ecclesiastes <. 90" For bird in the
air shall carry the voice, and that which
hath wings shall tell the matter"
Such phrases as Sc He was beset with
duna," "He was dunned for money
that he owed" etc., are often in use.
Horne Tooke says that dun came from
the Anglo-Sa1on dynan and the Ice.
landic dyn, and that "a dun is one who
has dinned another for money or any
thing else." Another idea is that dun
comes from the French, where "donny"
means "give me-" and that it is de.
mand for something due. Another
derivation, palmer and more matter of
fact, is that in the reign Of Henry XIII,
there was a noted bailiff in the city OF
London named Joseph Dunn, 80 ex-
tremely active. 80 dextrous in the man
agement of his rough business that it
became saying when q man refused or
neglected to pay his debts, "Why don't
you Dunn him ?"-that is, "Why don't
you send Dunn to arrest him." In due
time the word came to have a general
rather than local acceptation. Francis
Bacon uged it about century after ii

shall be dunning thee every day." And
