Moral Influences Of the Orchard.

While there is so much of the practi-
al to demand space in a journal wholly
or partly devoted to horticulturists, it
is by no means useless to give some at
tention to what are regarded as the
lighter, and, perhaps, as the more fan
ciful features of the subject To those
who have watched the influences of
horticultural pursuits, however, their
moral aspects are by no means faneiful.
Horticulture has substantial moral in
tluence upon both the horticulturist and
the community. If there is person
living who ever saw a well-kept bed of
strawberries or grand orchard about
the home of thoroughly bad man, he
has the advantage of us. Fine fruit
growing and worthlessness of character
do not, and can not, harmonize; and
we have seen characters that have been
polished, and manners that have been
improved, and morals that have been
strengthened by the preaching and in
fluence of lovely fruit. There is no mis-
take about this matter. A community
is greatly improved by fruit. Go into
sections where there is no fruit, and no
attempt to grow any, and, unless it is a
new community, you will find it any,
thing but pleasant in almost all of its
characteristics. But a neighborhood
that has fine orchards and fruit gardens
will be asuperior neighborhood in every
respect-intelligent, moral, and public
spirited.
There are we'll defined reasons, too,
for some of these results. A fruit eat
ing people are a healthier people than
those who are not; and people will not
eat fruit unless it is fit to eat. When it
is really fine they can not resist the
temptation to partake. Hence in
neighborhood of fine fruit growing, the
people will be large consumers, good
health being thus almost assured, in
creased intelligence and morality re-
suit, for mind unclogged by sluggish
or feeble physical system is necessary
to the former, and stomach unclogged
can almost be said to be necessary to
the latter. A healthy person has bet
ter chance to be what a human being
ought to be, in all respects, than one
who is not healthy. No mistake about
the matter. Dyspepsia makes some
people not only very disagreeable, but
it positively makes them wicked. There
fore. in a moral point of view, we be-
lieve fruit growing of vast utility to the
country Western Rural

HOME AND FARM.

-Cucumbers, according to M. Deliee,
caterer of the New York Club, should
be peeled and put to soak in ice-salt
water at least an hour before served.
Thesalt extracts the poison and the ice
renders them brittle and easier to be
digested.
For breakfast try this: Take the
skin off a nice piece of salt Goldfish;
wash it in several waters, and lay it on
agridiron to broil. 1t should be broiled
for about twenty minutes, and must be
turned often to prevent burning. This
IS nice for tea Also Chicago Journal.

Farmers, observes recent writer,
are very negligent in regard to keeping
well-informed as to prices. Two cents,
or even one cent, on the yearly butter
product of twenty or thirty COWS, is no
small loss for any ordinary farmer. No
loss can be averted and gain insured
without radical improvement in the
of the butter. The best
brings the top price; the poorest is hard
to sell. -PrGirie Farmer.

The Honest Maiden.

Not long ago rich man died in Brus-
sells, leaving nearly all of his fortune to
young woman who was entirely unac-
quainted with him. This is how it came
to pass: He was a very eccentric man,
and set out like Diogenes in search OF
an honest man. His tub was an omni-
bus, and his lantern small coin. In
the omnibus he used to take his seat
every day near the conductor, and al
ways showed himself very obliging in
passing up the money of passengers and
returning the change, but to the latter
he always managed to add franc OF
half franc. Then he would watch those
to whom it came. They would count it
carefully, notice the extra coin, and i'll
variably slip it into their pockets. No
one had any thought of the poor con.
ductor, whose meager salary of three
francs a day could i'll support such q
loss. But at last a young woman passed
hers back with, conductor, you have
given me half franc too much" Do
genes, delighted, followed her home,
made inquiries, and as the answers were
satisfactory, made his will in her favor,
though he never gave her warning that

What is Farmingi

Rule. at is something more than stay
ing on a farm. 1t is something more
than selling hay and potatoes and
bulky crops unanimalizeds Farming is
a business, q profession, aNpractical and
scientific operation whereby the soil is
used for profit and improved under the
operation. The processes of nature
must be understood and worked in har-
mony with the chemistry of earth and
air. The processes of the elements
must be understood, if not in their
technical terms and language, in that
sensible understanding, that common.
sense way, that their own advantage
and capabilities may be turned to the
best account. The lawyer works by
law and precedent, the physician works
by symptoms and indications, the mer-
chant by rules and observations, the me-
chanic by measures and capacities. The
farmer must work by abby rules, laws,
observation and experience. He must
be a practical lawyer, doctor, merchant
and mechanic of the vegetable, the ami
NAL and the trade world about him.
He must be skilled workman in the

A Ffshy Fog.


Snake and fish stories are peculiarly
American. Nearly every paper in this
country gives its readers at intervals
big dose of either fish or snakes.
Here's a good fish story which was re-
lated to the Washington Critic by a
gentleman who resides on the historical
banks of the Potomac River, just below
Alexandria,:
''You know" he began, eff there is
anything that the Potomac River is
famous in history for it is the dense
fogs that overhang it like dense pals
at certain seasons of the year. Well,
one foggy morning, not long ago, l
started before daybreak for the river,
as had been my custom, to catch a mess
of fish for breakfast. The fog was
thick enough to cut with knife, and /
couldn't see my hand before my eyes,
but just made for the bank by instinct
Finally got near enough to hear the
waves beating against the shore, and
undoing my line, threw it out. / was
Caught ten fine catfish, and Just as l
had commenced to wind up my line
and start back the sun arose and the
fog began to drift lazily down the
river. Then to my great surprise, ]
discovered that L hadn't been within
two hundred yards of the water"
But" interjected the Critic, "you
said that you caught ten fish. How
was that possible. -
$50 did. 1 caught them in the fog.
1t was so thick that the fish had strayed
out of the water and were swimming
around in it, you see."
The Critic passed the medal over to
the ''Lone Fisherman" and meandered.

Crossing the English Channel In a
Balloon.

A correspondent writes under yestSx-
days date; "This morning some labor
ers at Bromley were startled at seeipg
large balloon descending to the earth
short distance from them. It was o.
cupied by two aeronauts, one Belgism
named Morum, and the other French
man named De Costa, who, without
intending it, had succeeded in accom-
plishing what several balloonists heVe
recently attempted in vain-viz., cross
ing the Channel. 1t appears that tie
aeronauts assembled at Courtrai, sn
Belgium, on Tuesday evening, with tie
intention of proceeding in an easter'y
direction and descending somewhere
near Liege or Cologne. When over
Iouvain, however, they encountered an
easterly current which took them over
Ostend, and to their alarm, they were
carried out TO sea- 1t appeared as IL
they would cross the Channel SUGGEST
fully, but suddenly from some una9-
countable reason they began to descend.
The aeronants endeay0red for SOME
time in vain TO check the descent of
the balloon, so their position became sn
extremely perilous one. But by throw
ing overheard large quantities of ballast
they again managed to ascend, ard
before long passed over Dover. whom
the balloon began to descend again,

-The col1ntrv neonle near Danril

The country people near Danville,
Va, were recently swindled in very
simple yet curious manner. Four men
rode about the country in covered
wagons soliciting old feather beds from
families, promising to replace them
with new ones in the course of ten
days. The reason for doing this was
that they wanted to make mattresses to
send across the sea, and that new feath-
ers would not answer for this purpose
They were quite successful, getting six
large beds from two families. They
gave no receipts, but got their Ieds on
their bare promise
