No Secrets From Mother.

This should be every girls motto. 1t
is not beautiful for any girl to have Sc
crets in her possession and the fewer
that lie in the hearts of women of any
age, or of men either, the better for
them. But the moment boy or girl
has secret that mother must not know,
or a friend that mother must not hear
about, there is danger. A small amount
of secretiveness has led to a great
amount Of trouble in many PERSONS
lives. Man, however, can better afford
to be reticent than can woman; and
a girl who will frankly tell her mother
where she has been, whom she has met,
and what was raid and done, may al
ways be sure she will have her mothers
sympathy, and receive the best advice
as to her companions. The mother
knows from her long experience of hui
man nature what is the proper courst
for her daughter and with whom sh'
should associate and it is only wheI
girls are known to conceal their doing
from their mothers that they becOm
targets for scandals shafts. Innocen
faults are quickly condoned by kint
mo hers, who know that they wer
prone to make mistakes when they wer
young, and girl will never do anythin
very culpable if she is sure to have n
, secrets from her mother.
y Many woman now looks back upo
k her past life, and sees if she ha
t been compelled to tell her mother of a
s that occurred to her, she would hay
t escaped grevious sin and sorrow, 1t
said that young girls talk too muc
e about themselves, but it is far better
h do that than to tell too little, and
o harbor secrets which may lead to d
g plorable consequences. 1t is the lit
y rift in the lutte which spoils the music
l. and it is these little defects of charact
n which leads to some of the create
evils Of life.

greatest catch of the season, was bs

Feeding turnips to milking cows is
objected to on account Of the i'll flavor
communicated to the milk, and which
SOILS it for any good use. But it is not
necessary that this ill flavor should be
given to the milk. 1t is caused by the
very volatile odor of the roots, which is
absorbed by the stomach, and then by
the blood, and lastly by the milk. A
large part of it is carried off by the per-
spiration through the skin and large
part through the kidneys. The reason
of the rapidity Of this effect Of feeding
turnips is the large proportion of water
which they contain, and that water is
very quickly absorbed by the blood and
dispersed through the system, and as
quickly got rid of through the skin and
kidneys. 1t is precisely the same with
onions, garlic and other strong favored
weeds, and also impure water. But
this very rapid Transportation of the
water gives clew to a ready means of
avoiding the Objectionable effect re-
ferred to. If turnips are fed Immediately
after milking, night and morning, the
odor passes off and does not affect the
next morning, unless it is done immed-
lately before milking, unless it is done
Immediately before it, as water is alb
sorbed from the stomach into the blood
with great rapidity, and the odor would
begin to reach the milk in a few min.
utes. The odor of garlic may be pre-.
, vented-it is said-in some what the
same manner, but we have not person

, who says be was troubled with tn,
, smell of garlic or wild onion in hi
milk. To obviate this he put the cow
! in the stable at about O'Clock each af
ternoon, and fed on hay and gave then
a grain as usual. The result was all h

= ! : sss'sr enough previously it very
strongly favored both milk and butter.
The same course, he suggests, would
probably be an advantage when the
milk tastes of other foul weeds in the
, pasture, and he is prol ably right.

Dress skirts are growing decidedly
fuller and wider, and this decided ten
dency to bouffant styles has, as history
plainly reveals, been almost invariably
the forerunner of crinoline, and crino-

their hitherto idle forces and begun the
work anew of making hoop-skirts, have
listened to delusive rumor Of their

Abandoned by all beings bright or fair

that 102 of these are found to terminate,
then out of 143 there are forty-one
failures, so that we should infer that
about % per cent of the seeds in the
sample would not terminate when sown.
A more correct result is obtained by
conducting two, or even three, distinct
sets of experiments simultaneously,
and striking a mean between the severa
results, which, by the way, should not
show much variation.
''The report states that in several
samples of seeds of Alopecurus pra-
tensis, the common and useful meadow
foxtail grass, VERY small percentage
sometimes only one or two-of the
seeds were able to terminate. This is
attributed to the fact that the seeds
were gathered unripe, and in many
cases the sample consisted only of
empty glumes, so that it was like chaff
without any grain possibly, however,
| there are still some traders who adopt
the pernicious practice of working off
their old stock by mixing old seeds
with new ones, just as grocers mix their
old Barcelona nuts with the new sea-
sons arrivals, and if the old seeds have
lost their vitality the sample is of course
seriously deprecated. If the practice
of determining the terminating power
of seeds before sowing were more gen
orally followed we should probably heal
less of the blowing up of land OF
which sown seeds had failed t.
strike. ,"

Professor W. Caruthers, Consulting

ciety of England, gives in the Mark
! ane Express, the following plan
for determining the terminating power
Of seeds.
"Let 200, or 100, or 50-as may be
thought best, Of the seeds be counted
out and placed one deep on the surface
of the plate. This plate should then be
placed in large plate or in shallow
pan containing about a quarter Of an
inch in depth of water, and over all
there should be inverted another pan,
sufficiently large to entirely inclose the
vessel containing the water. The depth
of water should not be sufficient to
! allow of its overlooking into the plate
containing the seeds. The whole ar
rangement should then be set in a
| moderately warm place, and thus the
| seeds will be subjected to all the condi.
r tions favorable to termination. namely,
air, moisture, darkness and warmth
: The air will circulate freely beneath
S the edges Of the inverted pan the at
