and well-sustained practice Of plant
ing pumpkin seed among corn. on the
ground that it detracts a. much from
corn product as in the profits it adds

the general method pnrsued 60 get =
crop Of pumpkins. Besides, from onr
own experience and observation we
have had and seen as good crops Of
corn with as without the pumpkins.
It may appear at first thought as II
the land could not sustain two fall
crops Of anything; but this il not 90
IN all cases. AZ in those where the two
crops do not require the same manuriaI
stimulants, inasmuch as a portion at
least that one will take MP will not be
required by the other. Ofcourse it re-

kins; but even ia this case, though
an extra crop Of manure may be need
ed to be applied to the corn ground
where pumpkins are to be planted.
there will be saving in the element
Of time, and instead Of one crop from
the land in year, we gather two.
The objection that some make, that
the vines shade the ground requires
all the heat it can get, is not well
founded, az the corn itself furnishes
perfect shade without the vines. which
really can add little more to insure a
crop. 1t is far more probable that the
DIRECTORS to this double crop who fail in
getting all they want, owe their lack of
success 70 poor land, OF negligent cul-
tivation, and we suggest that they
should change their system by ma
Iiuring and cultivating more. and

RArIDIrY OF THoUaHr IN DREAM

RAPIDITY OF THOUGHT III DREAM
ING very remarkable circumstance,
on an important point Of analogy, is
TO be found in the extreme rapidity
with which the mental operations are
performed, or rather with which the
material changes on which the ideas
depend are excited, in the hemispher-
zeal ganglia. 1t would appear as If a
whole series Of acts, that would real
ly occupy a long lapse Of time, pass
ideally through the mind at one in
slant. We have in dreams no true
perception of the lapse of time-a
strange property of mind; for, if snch
be also its property when entered into
the eternal. disembodied state, time
will appear to us eternity. The rela-
lions Of space as well as, of time are
also annihilated; so that, while al
most an eternity is compressed into a
moment, infinite space is traversed
more swiftly than by real thought.
There are numerous illustrations of
this princirle on record. A gentle
man dreamed that he,had enlisted as
a soldier, joined his regiment, desert
Ell, was apprehended, carried back,
tried, condemned to be shot, and at
last led cut for execution. After all
the usual preparations, a gun was fired;
he awoke with the report, and found
that noise in the adjoining rooul had
at the same moment produced the
dream and awakened him. Another
gentleman dreamed that he crossed
the Atlantic, and spent fortnight in
Europe. In embarking, on his re-
turn, he fell into the sea, and, awak-
,ning in the fright, found that he had
hot been asleep ten minutes.

Do Something.

A certain man who lost his property,
instead of sitting down in despair or
seeking to drown his troubles in strong
drink, went out on the street and agreed
to do the first work he could find. 1t
was shoveling coal into cellar He
performed his humble task promptly
and faithfully, took his pay and walked
on. In short time he was on his feet
again financially, as he deserved to be,
and as people saw he was worthy of be-
ing. The following advice by the Chris
tan at Work is to the point:
at was monk just before Luther's
day who said, Il assure you, my hearers,
if could not preach / should be proud
to make shoes; and if l made shoes, if /
could help it no one should make a bet
ter pair than l. What a manly thing
that was to say, and how much the les
son is needed to-day. Look at that
young girl floundering in furbelows
who thinks her highest Office in life is
that of an ornamental do-nothing. Look
at that young man whose father can
scarcely provide enough food for his
table. You say the boy ought to be
something, but instead he is gadding
about the streets or flirting with young
misses, pursuing an aimless, enervating
life, possessing nothing but vacuity and
resources. Yet these adolescent do
nothings never think to change their
case, but the weeks slip into months,
the months into years, and find them
growing indeed, but growing in one
spot, never changing position, drawing
a measure of sustenance, but Welding
nothing in return. They speedily be-
come as pithy, as juiceless, as worthless
as last years radish. In some cases this
is owing to want of self-reliance; but
IN very many it is the result of a want
of pride. And yet of all things these
young fry suppose that if they have
nothing else they have pride. But it is
the very thing they lack, and how fear
fully! A man who possesses the pride
born of true nobility and manhood is
not ashamed to turn his hand to honest
work, but he is ashamed to be the pen
sioner on the bounties of others. Young
men in the vineyard, go to work! II
you haven't the pride and the strength
of character of the monk who would be
proud to make shoes, at least put your
hand to something, and 60 to work. Get
down and out of all your castles in the
air, and earn your salt. Stop dreaming
about grand possibilities, which in your
case are only glorious impossibilies, and
earn your living by the perspiration OF
your eyebrows. If you will only be-
lieve it, the worlds heroes are not
chosen from the worlds do-nothings. "

Economy in Carpets.

The desire of beautiful home Is moi
confined to those who can crafty taste
as soon as they realize its existence.
Throughout the world severe and some
times heroic struggles are going on ali
the time to find pleasure for the artistic
nature in daily surroundings, while yet
the matter of dollars and cents stands
like roaring lion in the way. For such
readers as these-who never spend a
dollar, without stretching it to its ut
most buying capacity, and seldom think
of an expended dollar with wishing il
had been spent otherwise or not spent
at ala few hints are here gathered to-
gether for decorative furnishing at
slight comparative expense.
The first item in house furnishing is
usually carpets, or at least it was until
the present esthetic rage for waxed
floors and Oriental or Morris center car.
pets.
To this day, however, in thousands OF
homes, carpets covering every inch Of
the floor still hold their own and proba
bly, do SO in our climate where severe
winters are possible.
1t is rather curious to observe that
France, Italy and Germany, hitherto
welded to bare floors and center rugs,
are now coming into the full use of I'M
mitigated carpets in the corners as well
as the centers of the rooms, Just as we
are beginning to adopt their mode Of
doing without. There Is no gainsaying
that carpets are warm and snug all
winter, no matter how full of dirt they
may become by spring, when they can
be easily cleaned. A carpeted room has
cosy, home-like aspect which no room
with waxed floor can possibly possess,
no matter how gorgeous or esthetic is
its central Abuston or Scinde; and it is
certainly less trouble to keep it looking
clearly. as all can testify who have the
care of polished wood floors, showing
every drop of water, boot heel mark or
speck of dust.
The dull, neutral tints, the discharge
of all colors, which taste nowadays de-
clares is true art, can easily be arrived
at on our floors, without leaving bare,
or paying great prices for esthetic pat
terms. Many prairie farmers wife ar
rives at the contamination devoutly
wished for, but not always attained by
uCl Wv Ii ohst hoo OH Oo-
thetic carpet without knowing it, and
unknown, probably, too, by all who see
it and contributed to its making.
In one of the prettiest, artistic draw
ing-rooms in Rome, beneath fifteenth
century carved oaks, tarsia of the seven
teenth century and mosaics with a good
many Turkey rugs, is carpet of soft
brown, woven in and out with threads
of delicate golden. Everybody who sees
this carpet for the first time speaks Of
its unique beauty, and then the artist
hostess laughs and explains that it cost
her fifty cents yard, and that it is
made from cast-off wooden garments cut
in strips and woven, hit or miss" that
it is, in fact, nothing in the world but a
''rag carpet" which she had made her.

the color she had set her heart upon

Geneva in Switzerland harbors about
$4,000 foreigners. Of these one hundred
are Russian Nihilists, German Socialists
and French anarchists. While they are
avowed enemies of the present social
organization throughout the civilized
world, they behave themselves so well
that only small police force is required
in Geneva. They are treated with great
tolerance and therefore seek to avoid
abusing the trust reposed in them.

in choosing places of residence for such

the character of the soil. 1t is shown
that, other things being equal, the pres

the habitual dampness of the earth.
