Horseradish is a profitable crop to
grow, as it finds sale at five and six cents
per pound uEprepared. It is bought
readily by manufacturers of the pre-
pared article.
Nearly all kinds of fruit do well on a
mixture of superphosphate and wood
ashes. Lime is not suitable for straw
berries, but excellent around apple,
peach and pear trees.
Every farmer should select portion
of rich soil, clear from weeds, which
should be devoted to roots, such as
beets, turnips, rntabagas or carrots for
feeding cattle and hogs. They are good
starters for fall feeding.
II sulphur is well busted around the
sheds and hog-pens it will effectnally
drive off lice. Put il on the hogs, also
and leave little in the trough for them
to eat.

A Word or Caution.

by Georgel there's the girl told you
about who hirted with me the other day
the one with the sky-blue necker-
chief and swell hat, with white feather
nodding over her forehead. Sumner,

Then followed some words ia an under
tone, ending with light laugh.

''No. you're notr' aud tho other seized
him roughly by the shoulder. "By
Jove! what DO you mean? That girl
Is my sister. just you dare speak
lightly"
"W-h-e-wl" interrupted the hrst
speaker. beg pardon, Jack, but you
must teach your sister not 20 hirt with
strangers II you want her spoken of
with respect, and he vacated the spot
which had become rather warm for him
on the instant.
From our standing place in q door
way on Washington street, We searched
among tho crowd for the girl with the
"sky-blue neckerchief and swell het. :"
We caught glimpse OF a lovely, viva
cious face, with bright, sparkling eyes,
the white plume dropping over the rings
OF dark hair on her forehead, aud saw
her brother, his face contracted with u
frown, join her hastily. Evidently she
would not be allowed 70 wait until she
arrived home for tho lecture she needed.
The practice OF flirting with strangers
on the street. on the horse.cars, in the
restaurants, ETC., ''just for fun" without
the shadow OF an introduction, at best
under cover Of some fimsy pretext.
which is at once understood by the op-
positc party, has grown very prevalent.
Don't do it, girlsl Yon may have as
much pride Of character and self-respect
as the most punctilious, well-bred lady
who stands upon strict etiquette, but
you won't get credit for itl
But it's such fun TO lead them on a
while, and then make fools Of them"
Don't delude yourselves. They don't
see the matter from your standpoint.
In nine cases out of ten you make your
selves ridiculous in their eyes, and pam
per their self-conceit, which was too we'll
fed before.
We know innocent, pure-minded girls
do such things thoughtlessly- love
of mischief-one leading on another.
But if they could hear the sly inuendoes
and covert insinuations with which their
acts are coupled afterward, their slum-
bering, womanly instinct would be
aroused and they would blush with NOR
titled shame at the motives imputed to
them.

"Woman's Rights We don't know

'"That's ten cents EXTRA" replied the
guide as he extended his hand.
"What q charming prospect con-

Here has nature mingled the grand

lovely-the majesty of the mountain

"Colonel, that's one of our regular

delights which he cordially invited his
daughter tc share. AS for Miss Selma,
she always gave grunt when letters
came from the Misses Knightley, and
when Josephine threw out hints that she
would like them to receive some sub
stantial yet graceful recognition of their
goodness TO her Miss Selma curtly re-
piled that she had no doubt they paid
themselves in one way and another.
AMI this was the fulfllment of the
dream for which Josephine had often
turned away from the sweet realities of
her old life at the Corner House There
was nothing shameful in it; on the con-
trary, it had credit and honor, for the
poor girl saw from newspaper and GER
tiicate how high her father stood in the
estimate of his scientific brethren. And
she would inherit considerable fortune,
too. She was assured of that. Yet jose
phiness head was sick and her whole
heart faint.
The crisis came one day, when, rising
from dutiful but nauseating endeavor
to mount specimen for her father, she
fancied she heard familiar voice In the
hall. What could have brought Philip
Harvey there, and what sort of reception
Would he get from Aunt Selma Hasten
| ing from the study, she met that lady re-
turning from the front door with salts
| fed smile on her lips.
"Who has been here 2" asked the
neiee, with sinking heart.
'Some young whipper-snapper, want
| ing to see you" returned Aunt Selma.
'A Mr.. Harvey. We don't want any of
that sort here. Those fellows who live
by their wits are always very sharp after
fortunes"
AS her aunt spoke Josephine felt the
low dismal hall reel round her. until it
seemed as if frayed brown oilcloth rose
up and smote her on the face-and she
had tainted.

An Indian Tradition.

Among ono of tho southwestern tribes Of
Indians there is q tradition that lohr ago tiiere
were in the world only thrco mco. WHO wtro
all black. Once they journCyed together
they came to deep pool Of beautiful clear
water. Here they halted, aud one Of them
plunged into tho water, from which he cnme
out no longer black but whito Seeing this.
tho second man followed his example, but
tue pool was 80 clouded that he emerged nsT.
thcr black nor white, but a brownish rcd.
The last man feared moro than ever. when
he saw how dark tho water had become. so
lie timid!y touched it only with the palms
of his hands and the sole Of his feet. which
were thus made 4 little lighter color So
from this time or, there were the ,hreo races,
the White, the Indian, and the Negro Al
ter this these three men jpurneyed still far
ther until they reached place where throo
packages were laying The white man
caught up the Grst which contained books,
papers and pens. The Indian was QUITO
satisfied with the bows and arrows of the
second, while the poor black man, who held
back timidiy as before, nothing was Left but
the hoe and the "ze, and thus. concludes
the tradition, did the White man become
scholar, the Indian hunter, and the Negro
a slave.
